Haba. You didn't come back to tell us what happened!

So what happened here? Finally found it?

CityNGR:
Mercedes Benz Gwagen. Brand new

That's actually my favorite car but didn't mention it because a dream car should be one that's currently unattainable.

GAZZUZZ:
NO!

Tell him how you REALLY feel lol

CityNGR:
I want to convert my R134a to R152a...

No conversion needed. That's the beauty of it.

thebigkendo:
Aunty Radu do fuel injector cleaners actually work?
I prefer the ultrasonic injector cleaning machine anytime, I don't believe in the pour-in-tank type

Yes they do if used regularly. The problem is people think they can put it inside this year, then two months next year etc. It doesn't work that way.

OyinbowithaTan:
What kind of lies are you spreading? There are no lines at banks. Branch banks are micro much smaller LOL because most things are online. People still shop, dine out, meet and socialize. To suggest a person has to "camp out" to open a bank account is not only a lie but intentionally misleading. Why do you do this? There are some lines at the Dept of Motor Vehicles, the bank, no. Why these lies?

I don't know what Utopia you live in but here in Houston, there are lines ESPECIALLY if you want to open an account SMH.

There is a reason I have avoided responding to you all this time but since apparently I'm a liar I will respond. I have not told a single lie in over twenty years. I'm not scared enough of anyone or anything to warrant lying and I don't take any actions I can't admit to later.

In our last encounter I found you to be myopic and rude and you just displayed those qualities again in this encounter. Kindly refrain from responding to anything I say in the future. There are a lot more people for you to spread your hate to.

Beautyaddy:
Yes, why would any bank allow people to open a bank account without face-to-face interaction?


However, I do know of a number of family members that opened a US bank account with just a visiting visa.

I've opened almost all my accounts online even when I was on student and work visas . Who has time to go camp out in a bank? It was so irritating wheni had to open Nigerian accounts. At least Wema now has completely online with Alat.

Mancala:
I commend you for, and appreciate the civility and patience you have displayed thus far. My take is this. Be careful what you wish for. If these folks were not here, America will really be in trouble. The crises is actually that we have not found a way for them to live and work here legally. They are not going anywhere.. at least not all 20 million (estimated) of them.

Civil debate on Nairaland is bringing a tear to my eye.

OyinbowithaTan:
Online opening banking accounts as a non citizen is a no go. Nothing new due to anti Terrorism laundering laws. One has to visit a bank in person with visa/passport and secondary ID like a drivers license or another form of ID.

Again, incorrect. Said relative originally opened online SMH. It's just this new one that she was rejected for after citizenship question.

mclaren slr will be my retirement gift to myself. I don't care what year

Fancy but still reasonable as an everyday Rider

Db9 and Koenigsegg nice too.

Beautyaddy:
Hmmm...interesting!

What if people lie about their status by claiming that they are US citizens?

I guess the only way those banks can verify that is by telling them to bring in proof.

That's exactly what at they do. Check out the Google articles.

EgunMogaji:
Hmmm.... I will have to research that so I'm informed.

Thanks.

Yup. Banks are asking citizenship questions now

I got the same account I was talking about earlier and it was one of the questions. I just replicated it. I selected no for citizenship and this was the result.

diportivo:
my friend thebigkendo

don't mind her o

AAAWWW. Thank you!

How many more truck robberies are commited by the citizens of the country? Taking a few incidents to generalize an entire group of people has a name..

AvsGot007:
I just got Nissan Almera last two weeks...
the car worked well at first but lately after driving for like 3hours,it will suddenly start making strange engine sound like the gear is failing to select then over heating will follow..
once it cool down, it'll start working normal again!
I've taken it to different mechanics.
one said its just the radiator that need changing, one said it's just the gear that has problem and like two others told me to give it to a rewire to sort out!

pls I'm confused... what could be the issue from experience folks on here??

This is not the way to solve your problem. Take it to a SHOP not a mechanic.

EgunMogaji:
They've been to the moon, have landed rovers (plural) on Mars and have spacecraft that has travelled outside our solar system. So yes the US is not stupid.

(1) Please provide any proof that any bank refused to open a bank account for you because you are a citizen.

(2) You don't need an accountant to do your taxes. There is no such requirement and there are software available and even free online companies including the IRS to file your taxes.

(3) Please clarify this. The US simply requires you to file taxes on foreign income over a certain threshold. This is a good thing. If Nigeria was similar perhaps we would have developed more than we have.

(4) Only an exceptional child would be able to file for his parents at 21. He would need a co sponsor for his I864.

This is actually happening. I think I even posted a news article about it when I first found out. Someone in my family was rejected for a new type of interest bearing account with a bank she already has an account at because she is not a citizen.

There has been a lot of debate on Nairaland about engine oil and oil changes so...

Engine Oil and Filter
What is it?
Engine oil is a lubricant that reduces friction in the internal components of a vehicle’s engine. The oil filter cleans the oil entering the engine. Together, the oil and filter keep your engine clean and operating with reduced friction levels.

What does it do?
Engine oil’s prime purpose is to lubricate the engine. As a protective layer between the engine components, it decreases friction and heat, helping prevent engine friction and wear. The filter also protects the engine by preventing contaminants from entering and damaging the engine. When the engine has clean oil and a clean filter, your vehicle is in Road Ready condition.

Preventive Maintenance
Changing your oil and filter is the most important preventive maintenance to perform on your vehicle. Your engine relies on clean oil and the right amount of oil to function properly. Dirty oil and dirty filters allow for excessive friction and wear in your engine, causing serious damage. Clean and free flowing oil
will help protect your engine and prolong engine life.

Typical Wear and Tear
As the most frequently maintained part of your vehicle, the engine oil and filter endure wear and tear the fastest. The oil filter becomes clogged with carbon particles and ash from fuel combustion. Once the filter is restricted, the filter bypass valve opens and lets unfiltered oil circulate through your engine causing premature wear. If the engine is not getting clean oil, serious damage can be done to engine components.

Symptoms
•Three months since last oil change
•Low oil level
•Poor fuel economy
•Poor performance

SERVICE OPTIONS
Good
•Replacement engine oil filter
• Replacement engine oil with proper grade of
motor oil

Better
•Replacement engine oil filter
•Replacement engine oil with proper grade of
synthetic motor oil
• Top off oil fluids
• Lube chassis

Best
•Replacement engine oil filter
•Replacement engine oil with proper grade of
synthetic motor oil
• Top off oil fluids
• Lube chassis
• Fuel injector cleaner added to tank to
maintain efficiency

When to Service
Oil and filter changes are recommended every 3,000 miles/3 months or per your manufacturer’s recommendation. Service is also recommended if your vehicle endures extreme conditions such as stop and go traffic, the vehicle is at a very high mileage or it is used for towing.

Benefits of Service
•Improves fuel economy
•Prolongs life of engine
•Improves performance

why is toyota 2005 3k and mine 7k madam?

Because the one you asked for is an extended filter. Give me your year and car again and i can give you an alternative.

Barely half of the vehicles on the street does the manufacturer recommend synthetic. Most cars run on conventional and only need sythetic if you want to pamper them or last longer between changes.

OyinbowithaTan:
The people sneaking across the border are a much larger problem, there is so many more of them. A recent Yale-MIT study places the number at a minimum of 22 million illegally residing in the USA. And to work they have to do it under the table or buy fake or other peoples SSN numbers. They also find lots ways to snag welfare benefits. The tourism birth people with money eventually return home most of the time. If you really are serious that anyone seeking better conditions should be allowed in the USA that is 70% of the population of the planet. USA didn't steal land from Mexico, they fought a war and then the USA gave Mexico about 20 Million. That is more than the Louisiana Purchase, and for worst land. The American SW was desolate until the USA made massive infrastructure improvements, Hoover Dam, that brought water, power to the SW. That and the invention of air conditioning made the SW livable. Also Mexico stole it all from Spain before LOL.

There is so much false information here I don't even know where to start so I won't.

walexyll:
Would be sooooo happy if a standard garage where you get value for money come in here...but trust me, most Ibadan people will never buy a filter for 3k....when they can get one for 8H

Yeah I know. It would be more about the repair and diagnosis there. We do repairs if people bring their parts too. We just don't warranty those repairs.

TheCar:
So Ibadan would be getting a branch soon, I guess

If we can get someone who wants to open it. I don't want to over extend myself so soon. If by year three we don't have someone, we'll do it ourselves. I don't suspect it will be an issue though �

walexyll:
Ok..So, let us do 6 of those denso iridium, one premium filter and I need the 50/50 coolant, air and cabin filter as well.(seems I just keep remembering other things I need )
Location is Elebu...Far from Bodija....
How do we proceed?

Since I'm not in the country and can't invoice, simply request an invoice from the link below and include all the items. They'll invoice you and you can transfer for payment then they'll ship to you.

walexyll:
Thanks for the response.
I have to excuse myself of the oxygen sensors (Junkyards lo sure ju )
For the coils, guess the price is or one coil not the set of six...that means, I will be spending 210k on coils alone! No way!!!

Price of filter is reasonable...
Denso spark plugs would work fine for me.

Thought you'd say that. I wouldn't have done it either. That's why I started with they're expensive

I would get the downstream sensor though.

2000 model...Also add a quote for premium filter for same car. Thanks.

Parts for your car are expensive because they are not readily available.

I'm actually out of all the spark plugs for your car! I didn't stock heavily past 10 years. My mistake. Do you have a preference? I have denso, ngk, autolit, champion and Bosch. I like denso and ngk though as a good price-performance balance.

EgunMogaji:
Very correct.

I buy houses based in n the school district. My kids all went to top notch schools in good school district because I made the sacrifice.

I’ll like everyone to have to make those sacrifices. Don’t just sneak across the border, plomp one out and expect freebies.

Yes, but chances are that school district is not the one getting them. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it should be a free for all but I think people should be able to seek refuge here and if born here they should be citizens. The ones sneaking across the border are not the problem. It's the ones who have the money to get on a plane and fly here just to have baby be American that I think should be clamped down on. Those who are seeking better conditions should be allowed to do so. After all, a lot of America was stolen from Mexico

EgunMogaji:
Under federal law, emergency hospital services have to be provided.

Many of these tourist births end up not paying the bills. The bills are directly or indirectly absorbed by the taxpayers to the parents benefit. I speak from experience because my 8 to 5 is in Hospital Information Technology.

A c section or preemie birth could cost well into hundreds of thousands.

I’m not as concerned about deportation perse, my specific concern is giving citizenship to tourist births and supporting it with taxes.

I posted a video of US citizen children that lives in Mexico but come over to go to school every morning in the US.

There’s no guarantee that the child would be a productive member of society.

Sure, we have scholastic folks but we also have MS13, Crips, Bloods, pristitutes, druggies, etc

The case you referenced, wasn’t that the kid that was basically stolen from his Dad in Cuba?

I agree about the hospitals but even someone on vacation would get the same treatment and then fly back home leaving an unpaid bill. I meant things like food stamps. Yes, there is no guarantee the child will amount to anything but numbers have shown that immigrants typically are more productive members of the society than natural born. Don't ask me to find the articles please lol. I'm guessing it's because they have a lot more to lose.

The bloods and crips are American gangs. Yes, ms13 is a problem but a lot more crime is committed by Americans proportionally than immigrants. There are also numbers that have shown this.

I had to go back and read the Gonzalez case. I'm mixing it up with another case where a parent was fighting deportation but the child was being put into child services because it was a citizen. The parent was fighting to stay because of the child. Do you happen to remember the case I'm referring to?
