Can we have a screenshot of when 15GB was 2k as well.

I want to check something

TemporaryHansel:
Was there ever a time 15gb was 2k?

Who will sell 15gb to you for 2k? Sometimes you need to avoid things that are too good to be true.

First, I want to say a big thank you to the creator of this forum. I’ve been looking for something like this for years—nice one!

I own my first Honda car, an LX Accord 2013, which I bought as a Nigerian-used vehicle in December 2022. I got it at a very good deal at the time, but deep down, I knew things don’t come that cheap. I was prepared for whatever issues came up! 😄

A week after purchase, the problems started. First, there was oil leakage from the engine, followed by the engine struggling to generate enough power to climb hills. Then, the check engine light and other warning lights popped up—my dashboard was like a Christmas tree! 😅 Upon inspection, the engine was opened up, and it was packed with oil sludge! There were so many issues: the oil pump was faulty, there were piston problems, and more. I decided to replace the engine entirely, and honestly, that was the best decision I made!

After that, I decided to upgrade the look of the car. I transformed it into a 2015 Honda Accord Touring model and replaced the seats with leather. I also installed four brand-new tires, replaced the vapor canister (to resolve the persistent check engine light), changed the spark plugs, brake pads, and steering rack.

To be honest, I didn’t do all the repairs and upgrades at once. It took me about four months to complete everything, costing around ₦1.5m to ₦1.7m in total. But mehn! I fell in love with the car! Money well spent!

Since April 2023, I haven’t had a single check engine light come on. I service the car religiously when the oil life percentage reaches 15%. Maintenance-wise, I always use full synthetic foreign engine oil. For coolant, I stick to the original Honda Long Life Coolant Type 2. I’m very cautious about what goes into the engine—engine don cost oo! 😅

Regarding fuel consumption, I always refill the tank when it gets to half. I’ve never let it go below that point—it’s easier and costs less that way. On average, I get around 170 to 190 miles from a full tank to half. It costs me about ₦35k to ₦40k to fill it up from half.

Currently, I’m planning to get a Honda CR-V EX-L 2018. 😁

Before I forget, a big shout-out to my mechanic, Alhaji Muri! He’s the most honest and respectful mechanic I’ve ever worked with. He’s especially good with electrical issues and has plenty of diagnostic tools to tackle any problem. Another shout-out to My Parts Nigeria, where I get my engine oil, filters, coolant, and other parts—they sell genuine products imported from the USA.

There are other lower iPhones that might serve you but the emphasis is mainly on American spec, they perform better than their Chinese spec counterparts. I have used both and I can tell you the American spec is better.

There are good Samsung phones definitely, not disputing you, but as a flagship phone S21 is trash and needs to be retrieved back to Samsung factory.

Samsung have other good high premium phones but I prefer using my 14pro more than my android, but it doesn’t mean that android is rubbish, it’s just choice and what works for me

floss:
If you buy American spec iPhone from 13pro upwards, you won’t be having a second thoughts on iPhone. That’s what I’m using, Samsung is good no doubt but when it comes to durability and longevity, iPhone beats it hands down

The Samsung Galaxy S21 series, while generally well-received, has had some common complaints from users. Here are a few issues that have been reported:

1. Battery Life: Some users have found the battery life to be less than expected, especially with heavy usage or when using power-intensive apps.


2. Plastic Back: The standard Galaxy S21 model has a plastic back, which some users feel is a downgrade from the glass backs used in previous models, especially considering the phone's premium price.

3. Fingerprint Sensor: The ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor has been reported to be less reliable or slower by some users, particularly when compared to traditional capacitive sensors.

4. Camera Performance: While the camera system is generally praised, some users have reported issues with the autofocus, especially in low-light conditions, and occasional shutter lag.

5. Exynos vs. Snapdragon: In some regions, the Galaxy S21 is powered by Samsung's Exynos chipset rather than Qualcomm's Snapdragon. Some users have reported that the Exynos version has slightly worse performance and battery life compared to the Snapdragon version.

6. Overheating: There have been many reports of the phone overheating, particularly during gaming or when using the camera for extended periods.

7. Software Bloat: Users have complained about the amount of pre-installed software (bloatware) that comes with the phone, which can take up storage space and affect performance.

8. Display Issues: Many users have reported issues with the display, such as uneven color reproduction or problems with the adaptive refresh rate.

My dear, thanks to Allah that I’m not the one pricing your S21… na 230k be last I can buy it…. I don’t mind buying S20 for 300k or S22 for 550k but you see S21, that’s the mistake Samsung made, A lot of S21 users are putting up their S21 for sale because of the factory issue it has…

Just pray you see who pays 300k for that device, please I’m not interested in the phone, you can choose not to sell to the person pricing above 400k but like I said, I can’t pay more than 230k for any S21 if I happen to pick interest , not because it’s yours.

Umuinyioku:
Good question!

Because a Lady has human compassion for her children,no matter how nasty they could be. She's not behaving like one. So, you are right in your question if she's truly of feminine gender or a woman!

Are you aware that tinubu fly a govt funded private Jets?
Are you aware that his convoy is longer than that of president Trump?

If his country is so poor that he can't fund healthcare, why is tinubu and your senators enjoying those privileges, instead of behaving like the president and senators of a poor country?

Instead of voting for credible people like obi with a history of prudence and strict management of resources, you say na tinubu you want.

Here is my earlier tread regarding the fault my Camry 012 developed, https://www.nairaland.com/7691025/camry-012-jerk-when-changing

Some car gurus, like xperiencelove, Jimts, etc. gave me their professional suggestions on the possible cause of the issue and solution.

So, I took my car out for diagnosis and repair. The first "gear specialist" told me the gear has developed faults and needed to be replaced. He totalled everything, including his workmanship to be 450k.

I left there unconvinced, went to the second person, and he diagnosed the car and told me the gear sensor is faulty and some other things. He told me he will rectify the issue at the sum of 150k.

I was still unconvinced, so I went to another rewirer, he diagnose the car and told me the machine was pointing out the gear sensor, and that I should take the car to my mechanic to replace the sensor(he failed to mention which particular gear sensor). So I took the car to my mechanic, and after allowing the car to cool, he cleaned all the sensors, still the issue persist.

So, I called another gear specialist at Ladipo. He told me it is the valve body, and I need to change it. So we booked an appointment. Prior to that, I met someone in the church who referred a gear specialist/rewirer to me at Ladipo. So, I booked an appointment with that guy too. And, following my spirit leads, I asked the other specialist who suggested the valve body has developed faults to wait until the following day. I did that to meet with the other guy first to hear his own suggestions or findings.

When I finally meet this new guy(one young guy), he drove the car around and told me he will fix it but it will cost me 60k. So, we bargained and finally settled at 30k. He initially told me he will need to allow the car to cool for a minimum of 6 hours b4 he will open the gearbox, and that the car will be ready the next day. So I said okay. Later, he told me to enter the car and let's drive it again. We drove it a few distances then he parked and fixed his machine in the car. He carried out a TRANSMISSION ADAPTATION RESET and that solve the whole issue. This same thing was suggested to me by Jimts AutoJando here, but since I don't have the device to do it, I had to allow those guys to have their way.

I wanted to still bargain the initially agreed price(30k) but he declined that we already had an agreement. I was like something you did that did not take you 5 mins, he said "na my work." lol.

Guys, this issue affected my car fuel consumption seriously. Besides, the car doesn't move smoothly or speed as it use to. But since the rewirer guy reset the transmission adaption, the car is back to normal.

I took out time to narrate my experiences so other car owners can learn from them. Those mechanics and rewire guys are ready to milk you dry if you don't shine your eyes. Again, don't totally trust your mechanic, irrespective of your relationship with them. Try to verify things from 2 or 3 others before agreeing to most of their suggestions.

Thank you, xperiencelove, Jimts AutoJando, etc., for your suggestions and advice.

Mod please move this to the front page to reach a wider audience. Thanks.

Ogun state should be barricaded and used as a location for testing of nuclear weapons.
Nigeria can even make money from that, by billing countries that want to test their nuclear weapons over there.
The rot there is irreparable and the land should be converted to something more profitable.

Abduction, illegal imprisonment on the part of the husband.
