Why, US women tend to be more reckless drivers than men? Or they often being victims of men's reckless drivings?
Women there wear so many hats, taking care of the car is low on list of priorities and often handled by the man in their life if there is one. On the other hand, with men the car is usually their baby.

A normal maintenance job of CV replacement should not imply the model is bad.
The CV is a wear item that usually goes with the motor mount if mount is not replaced in time.

I was expecting common failure of critical parts
Dude, it's obvious you like the car so continue to enjoy it. I just wouldn't advice an enemy to buy it. I said there was no rhyme or reason to repairs we see which means everything on that vehicle is constantly in the shop. The owner maintains this vehicle so how it happened is a puzzle.

I could list all the symptoms of the ones that come to the shop but would be pointless. The previous one had the cooler house spontaneously explode while driving. The one before threw a rod. Another had electrical system just go haywire.

Agree to disagree

Audi A4 sir. Ensure that you select the right transmission. There two types of automatic transmission... I have forgotten now.
Ok.... S-tronic Vs Tiptronic transmission... The Tiptronic is better.
Touareg is designed by Satan. The Timing belt or chain is between the engine and transmission.

Another misunderstanding. Tried ours first and was advised to go to US because no one would try to save baby at 5-6 months here- not because of skill but because they didn't believe in it. Got to US and no one would take me (and I had insurance). Not to talk of if I didn't.

The bolded is the koko.. But the "high risk" was managed in US.. Exactly the point I wanted to make..Now Mummy & baby Radu are doing great thanks to the not so good US health system

Aunty Radu believe me.. Does lekki bad road that spoilt your shocks enh.. na child's play compared to other parts of lagos.. Let's not even talk about Nigeria self grin grin


Naija is messed up.. It's home to some of us & We are not going anywhere(for now grin).. But make we talk am as e be.. This country get as e be
You misunderstood. The issue was in the US not here lol. No doctor would take me. I guess trying to protect their records. I basically had my GP threaten one when I was 7 months.

I don't dispute Nigeria has some problems. What I'm saying is that those running away are sometimes part of the problem or why do you think other countries have us on their lists? We go there and f ish up the same way we did here so they don't want us any more. Stay and fix your OWN country!

You are risk taker.. Me can never do it .. If something happens to my kids ,I will never forgive myself.. My major concerns are the medical facility in Nigeria.. It is the worse of the worse.. But each to his own ,
And yet my son had the highest IGCSE scores of his school, is on his way to college after finishing secondary at 16, and my daughter is way ahead of her peers.

In the US he was just passing along because they were more concerned about testing than learning. I know, I taught there for 8 years.

But you went their to give birth to baby Radu, if US is not much better, you could have strolled to your nearest GENERAL HOSPITAL grin grin..

Majority of the issues "young" nigerian complain about.. You most probably never experienced them..

Aunty Radu is using lekki/Island eyes to judge the whole Nigeria.. US roads/ Nigerian road, I laugh in spanish.
You talk about excellent road... Here we are just looking for motorable Roads not excellent

2 questions..
-Do you give the same warrantee on suspension parts like in the US

-When last did you travel by road on a long trip?
Because I had insurance which is not the norm for a large percentage of the population. I was also high risk and almost couldn't find a doctor to take me. It was my doctor here that told me if I didn't go, Baby Radu might not survive because they would save me and not her.

You have no idea what I've experienced. I've been homeless (yes, homeless) sleeping on friend's couches before.

Who told you there are no bad road in Lekki?? I laugh in Esperanto. I just changed all four shocks and my car hardly leaves Lekki. Here's the thing though. Roads are very similar to Southwest Houston.

Not the same warranty. Most suspension parts 2-5 years until we get full pay lay of the land and there is no abuse

I get car sick.

1. Bad road
2. No jobs
3. No stable electricity, business owners like you ,know how much money they spend on fuel
3. Bad health care system.. People still die from common sickness that can easily be cured . You have a blue passport , you run a successful business, you yourself ran from this country to get better education.. How come you didn't stay.. The list goes on and on
1. Agreed but a lot of the US is the same. Only the metropolitan cities have excellent roads.
2. B.S. when people get jobs, they act like you owe them a favor. Poor work ethic in general. It's like "oh...I have to work for this pay..?" If jobs were that hard, people would value them. With the exception of rad auto works, the employees at my other companies' work ethic astounds me on a daily basis. I just no get their time at the moment.
3. Yes, but power isn't exactly cheap overseas either
4. Agreed. But US is not much better. Or you don't see these people dying there because they came afford healthcare?

I never wanted to go. My parents made me and that's why I came back first chance I could. I work as hard here as I did there but I also get to KEEP more of my earnings here.
Also, made sure my kids went to school here and not the USA so....

All does telling you Nigeria is good.. We came back.. All have the blue passport .. Their children have the blue passport..
They left when they were young & made it in america,they are now telling the young you.. We came back.. Nigeria is good grin grin
If your have a blue passport & as much dollars(which was made in America) as they do.. Nigeria will also be wonderful place to live for you ..
If you are from an extremely rich "oil" family.. Nigeria will also be a wonderful place to live for you..
I personally have no plans to migrate or leave naija because I am doing "alright" but if my jobless or struggling brother comes to me & tells me "Bros.. I want leave this country" .. I will not tell him Nigeria is good because I am doing fine.. I will sponsor him, up till my last kobo to leave this shithole of a country..
Also good points. But people still need to be disabused about certain notions about leaving the country

Please oh God never move to Houston! Only 1% of gunshots are reported. Everyone goes to illegal doctors because if you get shot it's you who go to prison, not the bad guy.

Nobody wondered why a video of a fat Asian chick in a ball gown throwing a chair at a gun didn't get viral. When it first happened, cops thought it was a publicity stunt.
So this happened last Christmas https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.chron.com/houston/amp/Man-shot-arrested-after-aggravated-robbery-of-13485680.php&ved=2ahUKEwj4jp_z3OPlAhUGDKwKHVuZA6YQFjAAegQICRAB&usg=AOvVaw3DWmbjbh5rm73IfBQsodmp&ampcf=1 That was us. We then got framed by our HOA , who just happened to use the same lawyer as the Houston Mayor, right before we were scheduled to testify. I have been telling everyone that the guy we shot that he is the Houston Mayor's cousin. We know the guy we shot (Kendrick Trayvon Skinner) is related to a shitload of cops, and both his family and Mayor Turner's family was in the same square miles for 6 generations. I know Turner is also related to a shitload of cops. Kendrick Trayvon Skinner is the grandson of Sylvester Turner's sister

I have a lot of evidence of what happened. My Facebook was taken down at law enforcement's bequest (Facebook told me it's because of sex, which is ridiculous, I am an Armenian Orthodox Christian) My YouTube channel is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE4LUbGWCkg

I know we will definitely get sued, but it's better than getting Hillary Clintoned for sure. Cop's have been showing up at our house every day, even after we moved away from Houston.
Which Houston are you living in?? Must be a different Houston from me...

OP,
Let me come in here at this point.

There are only 3 pathways to moving abroad:
a) Study
b) Work
c) Investment

You are more likely to get a visa out of the country with permanent stay as an investor. Most countries will welcome you when you come with cash to invest, or you come with cash to study (which does not guarantee permanent stay). I would advise you to do some business for the next 3 years and grow your cash base massively.

Then take the money and locate a country with constant power and make your investment. Countries have different investment criteria like your minimum capital injection. You need to look at this option. With this option, even if you are as old as Methuselah, your chances of getting permanent stay are enhanced because you are adding to the economy via job creation and cash injection.

Some countries even allow you to buy their passport with as low as $100,000 (N36m). A single contract with the Nigerian govt can give you this money if you are lucky.

There is a lot I can tell you about this but I cannot say more.
NB: I am already working on one such investment visa and I am using a law firm to do it. It costs money but it is worth the effort.
Bahamas, Bahrain and a few Caribbean countries sell their passports as mentioned

I am currently in Nigeria. I want to relocate to anywhere in the Caribbean or to any Island of America where I can enter via a tourist visa and be able to get a job and live without immigration harassment. I was told about Bahamas but when I went online to read, I learnt that the immigration is very strict. Someone also mentioned about Barbados but I don't have any information about how strict their immigration is. I don't also know how to get a job there. I am 50 years old this year but I can work like a 30 year old. I just read about Jamaica this evening but it seems there is no job there. I wouldn't mind to live and work in Jamaica is there are jobs there. I was also told about Dominican Republic but I don't have any information about their immigration policy and job availability
kindly advise me on which of the country in that zone has job and with simple immigration policy. I believe that wages there would be better than going to Turkey for my Msc. I never thought of undertaking Msc until recently when I am seeing it as an avenue to stay and work legally in foreign countries. I have read it here that Turkey has limited job opportunities with little wages but I wouldn't mind if that would be the last option.

I have made up my mind to get out of here. I have been denied visas in USA and Uk visiting. I need advise. Thanks.

Budget : N2m-N2.5m
That is illegal in EVERY country on the planet. A tourist visa is not for work that's why there are WORK VISAS. So if you want to emigrate and have valuable skills, you can go to almost any country as long as you apply for the correct visa.

Also, don't forget with higher wages also comes a higher cost of living and they are not always balanced.

Elders in the house, biko, my car stops on three different occasions yesterday while on the motion. Could it be as a result of the hot weather or something else cos my AC and every other thing keep working when the stops occur.
A LOT more detail is needed. Year make and model? Recent work? What were you doing each time it stopped? Hot weather in Nigeria cannot stop a car Biko. Don't let kazeem and his friends tell you nonsense.
