On this same thread, people have explained that 4matic parts are simply more expensive. Plus more mechanical parts.

I'm not sure how that equates to maintenance expertise? AWD will always be more complex than FWD/RWD.
because they don't go bad or need changing often so that's not a huge concern. I can count on one hand how many we've seen that went bad in 10 years.

Hello people,

Please why is 4matic usually discouraged?

Also, what nice suv can a 4/5m budget procure? Could be a clean registered one.

Thanks all.
Lack of maintenance expertise lol

Good day ma'am, I want to change the front (driver's side) shocks on my Honda Civic 2007. Is it advisable to change just that one or does it have to be both (front) shocks?

Also, what's the cost?
hello, we recommend changing both but if the other one is relatively new and the mounts are fine, then you can change just one.

You can never tell what a presumed wealthy man face, until u walk a day in their shoes. I have a man around me that we talk time to time. He will just shake is head and I'll b like sir what's the matter? The text I just receive wants money, I have like 4 already. At the end of the day, he will ask me, do u want anything grin me with straight face, Oga! I won't like to add to ur problem. He told me coming home is practically coming to solve people problems, there is no place he go, they expect money and this stuff is tiring, most time I have to b the one to do stuffs for him, else he will b spending more.

Its a common issue bro,most priviledged people are greedy.

On the lighter mode: Bros! Forget phonetics o,you better pass most janded people.

Most are just living from hand to mouth,doing odd and weird jobs.
You now expect him to just be dropping money laidathuh Lol
this is unfair and untrue. They are just better money managers and future planners. The ones that dey here, dash there, dash everywhere, the money will finish because it will never be enough. Look at TLC, look at MC hammer, look at Tyson. And once e finish will the people you dash cut you any slack or favors?

My father taught me mind the Kobo and the naira will mind themselves. If he gives you N1,000 to buy N700 naira he wants his change complete. Now it is up to him after, if you bring it without him asking for it, he may or may not dash you even a thousand naira self. But you don't just assume my money is your money because you think I have a lot of it.

Before you judge, try seeing it from the point of view of the other side.

What is he/she doing in an undesirable place in the first place? This thing is not rocket science, whenever a rider request a trio and a driver accept, you as a rider will see the location of driver on your app too. You can track your driver, to know the time he will get to ur pickup. The app offers you a waiting time of 5mins, I can give you additional 5mins, but anything after this gets on my nerve.
1) sometimes you gave to go places you don't want for work, etc. Mainland for me is an undesirable place grin

2) i can't see pick up times until AFTER a driver is selected that's the problem

Below is what I see when I want to book. But after it actually selects a driver, it can change to 10 minutes or a lot more. That's what happened in Italy.

Don't get me wrong, riders do abuse wait times but if one apologizes then it obviously wasn't intentional.

Request only when u r ready, it's as simple as that, cos u never know, I might just be outside ur plaza. U keep me waiting, and u r stalling my income. That's not fair. Ontop N500 trip.
davit, let me tell you why some people order ahead. Sometimes it can take up to 20-30 minutes for a driver to arrive and you have no idea before you book what it will be.

E.g. in the US it usually takes 2-7 minutes to get a ride so I usually book about 5 minutes before I think I'll be ready. When I went to Italy, I did the same and had to wait almost 40 minutes past midnight for a ride!! From then, the whole trip I would order 15-30 minutes before I was ready. I suspect that is what is happening. Some people (especially ladies) are anticipating waiting a long time in an undesirable place and taking measures to avoid that.

This is the truth and it will set free those that listen.

1. Army don't have any civil right over a civilian whatsoever, as a matter of fact they're not supposed to even have anything to do with a civilian, that's why the government keeps them in barracks only come out to create peace and orderliness when crisis is overwhelming for the police and most importantly for war fights.

2. It's an offence to both a military personnel and the person that called the military personnel on a civilian, under the law its called intimidation. The military personnel if reported will be sanctioned and quarried by his superior and the person who made the call will be charged by the NPA (if a civilian) or military police (if a fellow military personnel).

3. No military personnel can/has the power to arrest a civilian unless the state/country iz under a military rule. Police for civilian and Military Police (the once with red beret) for fellow military personnel (this sect of military are more intelligent and strong than the combat military men because their duty is for fellow military personals)

*** your ignorance also played out in the situation, but it's good you later intervened and thank your stars its not Lagos State Task Force that arrested that your driver. Those once na police them be anywhere they arrest your car in Lagos they take it straight down to Alausa. Those once don't listen to "abeg". They either auction your vehicle or you pay according to year and make of the car and the least they collect is N150k.

Sacking/changing of employees will not/never make any establishment better or progress better, do it unless when necessary but never to simple mistakes.
Mistake is inevitable in every human and the laws of the land makes it more interesting. Weather you accept it or not that driver is a better person today compare to the days he haven't had that experience. so he left with that experience to another employer the one you will hire next may not have had such experience before and might commit same in the future even if you like give daily warning "don't follow one way", then you may not be lucky with a 100k. He may even get himself or somebody else killed. I've seen it happened severally.***

So lets be wise in our decision making. Entrepreneurs in Nigeria are one of the best persons on planet earth weather they succeed or failed. Those that even failed are miles better. The reasons are obvious.

We were tought in business school, no employee is a waste... Also, its not business wise to allow a young trained (the one you've trained either with time, money or orientation) employee leave your establishment after. You'll need time to train and catch up another...


So be wise!
we are taught in business school to hire slow and fire fast

Good evening, update on the replacement of the four coils of corolla 2009.
After replacement of the coils (4). The problem still persist. It was later suggested that the cylinder gasket was the problem . Lol and behold , after removing the top part of engine , the gasket has cut. My mechanic change the gasket and the car is now working perfect. Thanks
this is why we don't like to do remote diagnosis. Glad it's working
