I try not to impose oil plugs on customer, if he/she had asked for a plug now it is a different case so in this case he asked for product and I gave. No product no get fake but the Liqui-moly is kind of hard to adulterate. With that alone he should get it from a right source and Ladipo source
understood

Nope!!! Hope is not a strategy.... Your biz fails 'in your head', yes right there, the day you introduce HOPE in your equation.... HOPE to an average/most nigerian is expecting some supernatural being to get things done for you...its a device i dont use, i dont encourage it!!
whatever you say you are right

they're not supposed to change the filter?
they are but they are using long life filters with short life oil. Let me simplify. Imagine a paper napkin you are using to filter sand from water. A thick napkin will hold together much longer than a thin one before ripping apart. Lagos filter is your thin napkin.

I was wondering what they are arguing with eyinola for cuz it was a str8 way to plan ahead. When it is at the lowest how much do I make, I don’t plan business looking at cheerfulgiver table to plot mine. I look at the lowest table then work around the mistake he his making to launch mine.
eggzactly. If we hadn't, we would have gone out of business the minute the naira devalued.

Please, do NOT take this advice...Failure should never be a benchmark,not in ehailing, not in any biz or any aspect of life....

There is a popular saying that encourage folks to aim for the stars, if you dont get there, you will, atleast land on the moon..

I will assume you're just cruising, but if you're not, damn it! You've got a very poor and negative outlook to life, albeit success. #No apologies
actually, his advice is spot on. You hope for the best and prepare for the worst. You do a pessimistic, optimistic and average forecast when business planning. Not doing this is why so many businesses fail.

they bought filter i don't know its name.. Lol.. Lagos bad road and flood spoiled my front wheel bearing... Also back wheel but I've to change the back own complete (back hub)
then it's a waste of time using the oil you are if you are using Lagos filter. Filter is gone long before oil needs to be changed so not doing its job

FuckEveryday:
See ehn, sometime in my life(few years ago) I had the privilege of working in a microfinance bank. That job changed my narrative about cooperate jobs in Nigeria. (Banking)

No shade to UBA and First bank, but there staffs are nothing to write home about financially. The amount of loans they pay to the company I worked for made me shiver.

As at then, the entry level salary was 70k, staffs from the 5-9th floor if I remember correctly earned around 150k - 300k

We had just one customer on the 11th or 12th floor if I remember correctly...he earned arnd 800k plus allowance of 100kplus every 2weeks.

Now this is not heresays. These are people who literally beg me to come pick up there bank statements at there office in Marina. All those banks in Marina was my second office cus I go every now and den to pick up statements and post dated cheques. These guys hv close to nothing left in there accts even 1week after receiving salary, at most 2weeks...even the once collecting Allowance are worse..cus they even borrow more money than the ones earning lower salaries.

Now I'm not saying cooperate jobs are bad, but the way Uber job is disrespected in this thread is crazy..if you can't bear the struggles of struggling with lekki girls, kindly stick to your cooperate job. But if it's a bank job...I can only promise you it's nothing but Suits, Vibes and insha'Allah..
you ever hear "mo money mo problems"?

used for a year before change... Recommended Toyota LexusRX 350 oil
The oil is not the problem. What filter are you using? You need to be using a filter designed to go that long between oil changes.

Felicity001:
Why is it hard for we as Nigerians to be humble? Thats the question you should ponder about instead.

What stops you from getting the exact oil you know your car use? Don't blame the poor kazeem, blame yourself.

We want to register a car we contract it out to somebody

Formerly we want to get DL we contract it out and the person will ask for our details and passport photo.

We need tinted permit we contract it out and the person will go do fake for us

We need roadworthiness, vehicle licence, NIN, TIN so many other things we contract it to somebody who goes cutting edges and when the chips are down we start crying fowl casting blame on people whereas we are the problem ourselves.

Most of these things are things you can do ourselves but because of our bossy and colonial upbringing we prefer to send one "my boy".

It is well shall.

I come in peace o.

You can always advertise cars with new prices. Some of us even earn foreign currency.
I for one don't mind buying a car of 4 Millon or thereabout. However, it must be from you. Someone said we should look elsewhere and don't cry because you didn't reply our WhatsApp messages. I must make it bold here. I trust Amdman more than 99.9% of the people living in Nigeria right now. I have had dealings with many of them from here and most have proven to be mischievous and can't be trusted. I'm afraid. I will wait for Amdman until he's ready.
well said

Did it occur to anyone he might be ill? Or that the currency is so unstable right now it makes it impossible for someone whose whole business is imports to operate?
