Dremca:
Who names all these hurricanes, like: hurricane sandy, hurricane Katrina, hurricane florence and why are they mostly given female names.

It's alphabetical. Beyond that, they have male and female names. See my other post.

salsera:
So like flooded basements or flooded streets so you cant move.

Floods in Nigeria yeah but the idea of a full earthquake or hurricane....its not something I want to experience. Or maybe its tv images making it seem worse.

Hows Houston? I hope to visit soon.

Anyone experienced a real Hurricane

Yes. Hurricane Katrina, Ike and Harvey! No basements in Houston. More of a New York thing

salsera:
So I have a question
One thing that has always put me off the US is natural disasters.
Quakes, Hurricanes Tornadoes etc


Anyone hear ever experienced such?
Has it affected where you chose to live or
Do natural disaster prone areas have insurance packages to cover for such?

Umm.. we have them in Nigeria too. We just don't call them that. There is insurance available if one wants it. I'm in Houston notified for flooding and lived through the last three major ones. Didn't really affect my decision on where to live because pretty much the whole city underwater when it happens.

GreekDon:
I'm interested in the OSRAM halogen bulb( For Honda Accord 09). How many pairs do I need for a complete set?

HRtechnique:
Bosses, what are the things to be done during a car servicing?
Cc Nurey, HeavenlyBang, RadAutoWorks

Depends on the car and mileage. Could be as simple as oil change or go all the way to replacing air filter, cabin air filter, fuel filter, pcv valve, spark plugs, spark plugs wires, belts, hoses, rotor and/or distributor cap and O2 sensors.

It's really determined by manufacturer schedule for your car, mileage and need.

I'm not sure what details you expected to hear but fact of the matter is I don't owe anyone the details especially since it's my husband's business and not mine. I don't know about the other guy but I do know it happened for my husband.
My husband is Jamaican. Dad emigrated, lost touch, son went to USA on a Visa, while there dad in an attempt to mend fences filed for him. That's as much detail of his story as you're going to get. I already regret sharing so much detail about his life on this forum and he'll probably be mad at me.

Moving on. Been a while since anyone had something positive to contribute on this thread. Time to unfollow or close?

obekediamondfuto:
yeah the Camry, the Honda etc..... both the low beam and high beam

We DO carry them! We have both them and the Carquest version. They're just Sylvania OSRAM halogens! Just never heard the term night breaker before. Not very popular in usa. We keep the Carquests in stock and bring in Sylvania as requested.

If you don't mind giving me year and model for car you want, let me make sure they fit.

diportivo:
I'm guessing this is for the American market tho?

my brother in the UK owns one...and it's the skyactivD variant

car goes off when gear is in neutral and car is idling in traffic

move the stick to one and engine comes on by itself

fuel saver of life

if na here motor dey do like dat,kazeem go say make we add relay join

HeavenlyBang:
Lol. One man's food. The XC90 has a brilliant rear, then that front just completely fooks up the car's design.

ROFL

lasignor:
Good day.

I need the fog light for 2010 Toyota Matrix. How much and can I take delivery? I am in Osun State.

Sorry, we do not sell body parts..

obekediamondfuto:
Aunty radu how much for the night breaker bulbs.... do they come in 9005 and 9006

I don't think we carry those. To check, is need a specific car model that uses them...

radautoworks:
It's not so bad. You'll be able to handle it. Give it a shot. You won't regret it. Or simply don't get the turbo

My bad. Not an option till 2013. Corrected by HeavenlyBang.

HeavenlyBang:
Yes, yes. New-gen Volvos are sexy but their design language hadn't really matured pre-2010. Their cars from that generation just look weird to me. Infiniti, Acura, and Lexus had much better design factors.

Here's the 2008 S60, for example. I just can't get over that snout, haha.

Aww... The snout is cute! The SUVs in the past however were fugly!

HeavenlyBang:
Wait, I thought all them were turbo'd? 2007 - 2010 or so, i4 turbo'd K24 doing 240HP or so?

You are right. It's the SH-AWD that was optional and came with the tech package. Don't know what I was thinking.
My bad!

thebigkendo:
You don't drive where we drive
And you bought brand new, most complaints are on Honda cars aged over 10 years.

If you know you know

My 2014 had been driven in Nigeria for a few years and no issues. Others in my family drive Honda products and not a single "leg pull"

HeavenlyBang:
Ah, just as expected. Was among my choices for my next car but everything I've seen till this point tells me it won't go easy on my wallet in terms of gas mileage. Shame. I actually like the car.

Thanks!

It's not so bad. You'll be able to handle it. Give it a shot. You won't regret it. Or simply don't get the turbo

thebigkendo:
Beauty is in the eyes of......... Most common Camrys & Corollas 1999 - 2011 are ugly to me also..

Sorry, meant to quote below not you.

HeavenlyBang:
Yeah, but Volvo's are ugly.

Shooooot have you seen the new XC? Awarded best car in the world and car of the year this year. My best friend has the XC90 and it's the most technologically advanced car I've ever seen. For the first time, I have car envy.

HeavenlyBang:
I'm curious about the 2007. Did you use it in Nigeria? What was gas mileage like? How long did you use it? It's Honda's first mainstream turbo engine, I think, did it give any troubles?

It was a turbo and mileage sucked! But damn it was fun to drive and easy to see why mileage sucked lol. Bought the 2007 pre-owned from a dealership in 2010 and used till I replaced it in 2013. Only used in America. No troubles which is why I went ahead and bought a new one (wait. Forgot I had to replace ac compressor shortly after I got it but that was it).

Only got rid of it because I had a run of bad luck and had three accidents in as many months. None my fault rear-ended all three times!

please the document is large and cannot be attached.

kindly check lotuslubes.com for more info

Are any of your oils dexos? I don't see that anywhere.

lillaowow:
Could you explain how that happened? Derivative Citizenship for kid older than 18 (if the birth of the kid wasn't registered with USCIS/US embassy)

That's what birth certificates are for and a question better suited for the US government.

Babyvet:
I know how to read it’s states the same thing that I posted . I asked him a simple question why didn’t he apply for that first instead of f1.

He may not have known. My husband was on bad terms with his dad so he never asked. His dad did it to mend the rift and actually do something for him.

Babyvet:
Please explain ?

He went to USA on tourist visa and after he was here, his dad decided to file for him and he went straight to citizen. And he was over 18 at the time.

lillaowow:
I'm sorry. Not that I am trying to scrutinize your post. But something just weird.

Story sounds like your parent woke up someday and realized they were USC then need to file for you

Or you were lost child (which doesn't seem to be the case) and all of a suddenly renuited with your family

And in both instances, you won't skip green card since you're already 18 and older.

Your immigration history is so weird. Like UNBELIEVABLY weird.

F1 to USC.?

Again, possible. Same thing happened to my husband.

lillaowow:
Hmmm

That doesn't make any sense to me. They won't even issue you an F1 if they find out you're a derivative and encourage you to apply for citizenship.

Except maybe your parent became a citizen during your F1 while you're still a minor (which doesn't seem to be the case)

No, quite possible if he didn't mention it in F1 app

LUCAS99:
I think it depends on the circumstances.

You just have to put yourself in the best position possible.

I have a friend both of us attended High School together but he came into the United States in 2011 while I came into the United States in 2012.

He came on an F-1 Student Visa and was able to find a Girlfriend on campus after 1 year in college.

He dropped out of school & they both moved in together & eventually got married.

It's been almost 7 years now & they're still together.

He even told me he will be filing for his citizenship this year and he is just waiting to save up enough money to pursue the application.

At the end of the day as long as you're sincere & committed with them most are willing to help.

But don't have a wife in Nigeria & start up lying to them inorder to get them to help you because if they eventually find out on their own sorry will be you name...

EXACTLY

Dremca:
What! The cost of buying data to watch that 20mins video is equivalent to some people monthly salary in Nigeria.

Umm N2,000?
