What are the regular maintenance please?

lol..... oil change. That was all I did.

I drove a Honda accord 2007, before I purchased it people advised not to go there. I did and till this day its one of the best cars I've driven in my life.. speed, steering, balance and interior deco. I NEVER had any issues with the legs. I lived at Ayobo then....no single leg issue. I think ppl just handle these cars terribly.

you keep going on and on and on about German war machines. The U boats, their destroyers, Their bombers, their fighter jets were they not war machines. The fortications and defense of France against the Allied invasion was it not done with the war machines or were they fighting karate over their.
Hitler mistakes wasn't fighting the Soviet Union, his first mistake was not taking Moscow when it was right there for the taking. The second was the battle of Stalingrad, the city had no significant yet he spend resources to capture it all because it bears the name of Stalin at that time.
so Oga rest. There's no emotions over here, I've been dismantling your propaganda since first page, if you're not tired, I am.

lol if you don't know what the GERMAN WAR MACHINE means then you are not grounded in that part of history. Let me help you... In wwii context the German what machine doesn't refer to tanks ships planes etc it refers to both policies, propaganda, military strategy/ resources that was put in place to establish the German empire.. Any historian that has read books knows it's a semi euphemism for Germany's wwii foreign policy. These are little hints to know how well someone is grounded in wwii history books. Anyways your opinions are yours. .open mind to other sources of history esp the axis nations accounts.

emae009:
more and more it's seems you just want the attention to say the same thing over and over again like a broken record.
Nobody was a match for Germany even Britain yet the Germans never came 5 miles close to Britain. USSR was unaware of the Germans Give a break, someone declare a war on you and you are taken by surprise when they attack you? are you kidding? USSR fought the Germans and lost at the very beginning, the Germans were so sure they'd capture Moscow that Hitler postpone the attack and instead send divisions to capture the oil fields which was his main target. Without the winter that came, Moscow was being rained down on with bombs. Even the Stalingrad was this close to being capture that Stalin had to sign a decree "Defend Stalingrad or die". The winter turned the war in favor of the Soviet Union.
In our first encounter, I didn't have to know you to know you have some deep down hatred for anything American. Who defeated the Germans in air? You said the Allied forces but kept out the Americans same thing in the sea but America was one of the Allied force which truly shows your intention from the very beginning. The resources alone the Americans contributed to the Allied forces is enough for them to brag even if they didn't enter the war.
While the Soviet Union were fighting in Stalingrad, Berlin was being bombarded with ordinances. I guess in your little world, it's the Russian Migs that flew all the way to do that.
After seeing what your intention is I see no need to engage you anymore so as a piece of advise, take it or leave it, Read accounts all the WWII from all the countries involved so you get overview picture of the whole war and not looking from the Soviet Union perspective and crying foul about how Hollywood doesn't show you that. Even the French Resistance that fought after France was occupied, their own of the war is in a way praising the French spirit of never giving up.
Yet all your wailing is about how American history doesn't glorify Soviets account of the war. Like for real?? who does that??

oga first I don't debate ppl that attach emotions to debates... If you can't make a point without insult then shove it up your ass. You probably haven't even read Germanys account of wwii....its interesting to note that even German historians point out the fact that Germany's mistake was going to war with the Soviets. The soviets we're responsible for the military decimation of the German war machine.... the allied forces bombed cities and civilians but weren't responsible for decimating the German war machine.
Charles de Gaulles guerilla tactics had no strong effect on the Kaiser's occupation of France. It was significant in supplying info for the Normandy landing but this has never been the argument.
We were devating whose efforts amongst all the allied forces, led to the direct decimation of the German war machine. ...goodbye.

emae009:
"Russia won most of wwii....U.s came in when Germany had been decimated. U.s was no match for the German war machine. Most of today's engineering came from the German war machine. Damn..." - that's what you said incase you have forgotten.
"US came in when Germany had been decimated" - wasn't that 1944? yet you said you didn't say US join the war in 1944.
Like I said the first time before you keep jumping around, half truth doesn't help.
I keep asking who decimated the German airforce? you haven't answered. Who decimated the German Navy? You haven't answered. Germany, Italy, USSR, Japan were all allies at the start in 1939 via various treaties. Yet you say the war against Japan wasn't important or was it not during WWII? so why did the Soviet Union declare war on Japan after Germany surrender?
North Africa? you brush it off.
Liberation of Italy? you brush it off.
Read your history books again, when D-Day happened, USSR were fighting in Poland, they haven't gotten to Czechslovakia yet.
Soviet Union lost the most personnels because their philosophy was to win by shear strength or numerical advantage. The Americans and Britian (other half of the Allied forces) prefer to fight strategically.

Coming to your last point. How does Russia history books portray the D-Day invasion Very minimal like an afterthought. So in your mind, you expect the US or Britain that want to impire their future generations about their heroic in WWII to leave out the sacrifices of their own men and be talking about the Battle of Stalingrad? common sense dude.

The Luftwaffe Qs as decimated by a combination of allied forces, especially British spitfire and the Russian migs(if I'm correct). The Germsns had very few ships abd a large fleet of U-boats which dominated the seas till around early 1944. They were simply out produced by allied forced ie outnumbered. The AXIS forces were mere appendages of the German war machine. Italy even had a hard time defeating north Africa, could hardly hild territories they captured and were no match for any allied force press.
You make it sound like Ussr had no strategy fighting... You are very wrong. Ussr was left to battle the German war machine alone whom they were caught unawares by Hitler. Once they were able to prep themselves and gather their army....errrmmm plus id say....with divine help (THE COLDEST WINTER EVER TO HIT THERE), Germany was sent on the retreat till the end of the war.
Now my point is you cannot compare the resources, man power and time invested by ussr to the u.s. Every historian knows American tanks, ships, planes were no where comparable to any European powers weapons until they began to capture German weapons.
. U.s military were not half as experienced as other soldiers and were unnecessarily expensively dressed, expended more ammunition than necessary and recorded heavy casualties than every opponent they faced.... The ratio at which U.S recorded casualties with the depleted German war machine and an already worn out /demoralised axis army it's a little interesting to wonder what would have happened if u.s had joined the war in 1939... Maybe a repeat of wwi in 1916...Perhaps there might not have been a U.S today.
In a nutshell all parties fought gallantly but no one should compare the sacrifice and role played by the Ussr to U.S in wwii. If not for USSR I doubt Hitler would have been conquered.... Ofvos we know nobody was a match for germany., even Britain.

half truth doesn't help in a good post like this. If Russia won WWII, who defeated the Germans from the sea, who defeated them from the air?. How was Germany pushed back from France and western Europe all the way back to Germany? or are you saying Russia somehow circumvent Eastern Europe to get the western part to push back the Germans?
You may not like America that's fine, a lot of people don't either, but the truth whether you choose to deliberately ignore it or not is that WWII was won by a collective effort

i didn't say Russia won wwii..... I said USSR had already depleted the German war machine.before allied forces came in. In fact the allied forces were hoping Hitler would destroy the Soviet union and deplete it's forces there. They didn't care how many ussr lives would be lost.

emae009:
in 1939, who aided Germany with the invasion of Poland? Russia. See Russia was Germany ally until after Germany occupy France but couldn't invade Britian as the British Navy was formidable. Hitler needed a stronger Navy which means more oil to power the ships. He declared war on Russia in May 1941. The war on the Soviet Union started in June 1941. And no America entered WWII in December 1941 and not 1944. You claim America is your country yet you don't know this simple facts.
Ever heard of the "Lend-Lease Act". That was America and Britian sending supplies and Resources to the Soviet Union. The war against Japan which at that time had a treaty with the Soviet Union, the war in North Africa, the liberation of Italy which were ally with Germany for much of the WWII. The thousands of air sorties that depleted and weakened the Nazis airforce. The defeat of the Nazis Navy.
I could go on and on but like I said, nobody has a monopoly on winning WWII, Hitler was defeated by a collective effort. So Oga, America did not just swoop in and take credit for the war after the fight had finished. so much for knowing your country

FIRST OF ALL, I NEVER SAID U.S GOT INTO THE WAR IN 1944..U.s joined the war in 1941 December. So we can say 1942. The Japanese war was not a a significant part of wwii perse... The real theatre was in Europe and parts of Africa. U.S was 10 times more powerful than Japan in all ramifications but we're not so experienced in war so lost a lot of resources. U.S joined the western front in 1944 ie Normandy landing where as the German machine was already depleted in eastern Europe. U.s herself as the saviour that came in and changed the tide in Europe. U.s history books make it look like there was a stalemate until u.s came in and saved the day. The truth is before the Normandy landings Russia was marching to liberated western Europe and marching to Berlin.

OGA U.S HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME.WHY WOULD U HATE MY COUNTRY ..LEARN NOT TO BRING IN SENTIMENTS INTO HISTORY CLASSES.
NOW EUROPE WAS ALREADY UNDER SUEGE WITH MOST PARTS OCCUIRD BY THE GERMAN WAR MACHINE. WITH THE HUMILIATING LOSS AT STALINGRAD HITLER PULLED OUT MOST OF THE FORBES FROM EUROPE AND SENT THEM TO THE EASTERN FRONT IE USSR. OFCOS WE ALL KNOW THOUGH THE CASUALTY WAS GREAT ON USSR BUT GERMANY LOST A WATR OF ATTRITION THERE. NOW WITH THE EXIT OF MOST OF THE GERMAN FORCES TO USSR, THE WESTERN FRONT WAS HEAVILY WEAKENED AND U.S LANDING IN FRANCE WAS STILL MET WITH HEAVY CASUALTIES. ON THE SIDE OF U.S.
In fact U.S GSS CONTINUED TO CENSOR THE LOSS THEY HAD WITH GERMANY.. WHICH HAD BEEN FIGHTING FOR 4 YEARS B4 U.S JOINED THE WAR. AND STILL TOOK 3 MORE YEARS TO TSKE DIWN THE GERMAN WAR MACHINE. U.S WAS LOSING 10/15 TANKS TO 1. GERMAN TIGER TANK. Germany LOST THE WAR COS OF USSR AND THE FACT THEY WERE SIMPLY OURNUMBERED.

Henrodah:
Pains me how the US take glory for ww2, after 50million russians perished protecting the world from the megalomaniac Fuhrer. The speech given by Stalin during the german invasion with his heavy Georgian accent, is one of the greatest speeches ever, but since they don't have HOLLYWOOD, people won't know the significance. The Hunters from Siberia finish work during the great battles of russia.

ONLY PPL THAT GET HISTORY FROM HOLLYWOOD, DONT KNOW USSR VIRTUALLY CONQUERED GERMANY.... AT TERRIBLY GREAT LOSS..

Russia won most of wwii....U.s came in when Germany had been decimated. U.s was no match for the German war machine. Most of today's engineering came from the German war machine. Damn...

ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?
Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.
Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.
However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.
This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.
This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.
Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.
But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra

boro was not sentenced to death...the worst ppl are those that try to rewrite history....

If only we had allowed GEJ's attempt at full subsidy removal in 2012 to stand!

Today, we would have completely forgotten about subsidy, government would have had more money, the Naira would have remained at 168 or less against the dollar, modular refineries would have sprung up all over the place, pump price may have dropped to less than NGN100, massive job creation would have happened etc etc

Unfortunately, some irredeemably dummb Nigerians forced GEJ to change his policy.

And the spineless GEJ too gave in!!

Now, deregulation would have to happen under Buhari and it's going to be more painful.

When GEJ removed subsidy, the pump price became N141. Crude oil price in the world market was around USD100. It could not get worse.

If Buhari removes subsidy, the pump price will become N216. Crude oil price in world market is around USD70. It may get worse.

So you see, Nigerians have been pennywise pound foolish...

EVERYBODY THAT TOOK PART IN THAT OCCUPY NIGERIA JAMBOREE SPONSORED BY Tinubu APC SHOULD BE SHOT ASWEAR. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HVE ALWAYS TAKEN NIGERIA BACK. THE SAI BABA EDIOTS..... AND FOR WHAT REASON?!!!! because THEY FELT GEJ WAS AFFILIATED TO IBO PPL.... That's WHAT BIGOTRY DOES.... IT BLURRS SENSE OF REASONING. LOOK WHAT THEYVE CAUSED OUR BELOVED NATION. FOLKS LIKE US PREACHED TIRELESSLY. TOWN SQUARE MEETINGS WERE HELD ALL OVER NIGERIA TO EDUCATE THEM ON WHY SUBSIDY HAD TO GO THEN......YET THESE EDIOTS WENT TO OCCUPY OJOTA, WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHY THEY WERE THERE. . DUMB YOUTHS

Biden is the president, so expect more awkward, senseless and stupid laws...
It's so easy to become a politician, jxt be stupid...

Nonsense comment... BIDDEN. HAS NO BIZ IN CALI POLITICS...U.S IS A CONFEDERSTION.. .DUHHH

And he didn't patronize INNOSON. Rubbish govt

Ofcos it's easy to play the race card. If you don't give names then I don't believe it. Harry na simp sha....

AlexBells:
I think I don't have to keep prolonging this conversation, you can demonize Zik and Ironsi the way you want but both men are honourable men, as if the civil war was not going to happen, it could have happened anyway, so what are you saying, Nigeria was going to have a war someday, because the arrangements of the regional government was not right even back then, midwest as a region was smaller than AlaIgbo, why wasn't ndigbo made a distinct region.

You expect Zik and Ironsi to do the magic to pull Biafra out, where was your grand father then, you forget that there was a coup lead by Igbos and you tell Ironsi to eliminate notherners from his ranks, are you saying then he was a mastermind to the coup,. It is easy for us to say what others could have done or what they didn't do but if it were us, I don't think we could have taken different steps.

oga stop talking nonsense...u never mentioned Biafra neither am I a believer in this new Biafra struggle....zik should have done exactly what my grand dad ( stay out of politics )instead of aligning with the north. My grand was quite wealthy and even built the Anglican Church in my village.. HOLY TRINITY mbieri umuchoke. .we lost 98% of that wealth during the civil war and abandoned property in ph. Anyways good day

Her Olympus has descended massively

AlexBells:
You can't really blame them, they didnt have the experience, Zik was a politian and it is just like today, we Igbos still allies with the North for Vice, Alex Okwueme was there, so what do you want Zik to do, if he don't allies with the North to be the figure head, maybe the north allies with the west and we get nothing.

If you are saying they warned Ironsi not to make Northerners in his commands, then what happened to Ahmedu Bello who was very close to Ojukwu and Nzeogwu, that's how the time was, the past didn't know what the future knew otherwise you will blame a lot of people.

Ahmadu bello didn't have nzoogwu as security. .. Ironsi had experienced a coup, and there was tension....then he introduced unitary system.....the reason we're in this shit till date.. He could have proceed the thousands of igbos that lost their lives as a result if his death. Zik had no biz gunning for one Nigeria... Even awo knew we weren't one. He has his selfish reasons ie his maternal connections in the north.

AlexBells:
What's with the hate on Zik, please if you must not respect him, it your personal view. As for Ironsi he did a lot

please if you don't know history...GO AND READ. THOSE TWO FOLKS ARE THE REAL REASON WE ARE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. ZIK FORMED A GOVT WITH THE NORTH AND PREFERRED TO BE A FIGURE HEAD WHILE IRONSIDE WAS WARNED ABOUT THE IMPENDING COUP AND HE RATHER MADE HIS ORDERLIES NORTHERNERS.. EVERYBODY WARNED HIM MADIEBO ETC.. GO AND READ HISTORY.

AlexBells:
I think you had left so many more people behind, you should also thank Nnamdi Azikiwe, AguIyi Ironsi, Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu etc. Ojukwu too, Nnamdi Kanu, Okonjo Iweala is great, Chinua Achebe, in fact many Igbos had made sacrifices for the reality we are seeing today and now no one dare to stop us, we will dominate now with reckless abandon becuase when we had no intention dominate They labelled us, Forget Biafra or another country, Nnamdi Kanu and everyone else understands that it is a pay back time

pleaaeeee remove zik and ironsi from that list plzzzzzzzz

SweetVibe:
I hope you know the Democrat party is that oppressor whom they still queue to vote for every election

a large number of black Americans are republican too so get your facts right. Trump was removed by ha small margin...get your facts right

I remember when AMBODE kick started this project, these nonsense APC lagos chapter were busy insulting him... Because he refuse to share money now it's complete and sanwo olu is taking the glory. They voted out lagos states best govt for this nonsense govt... Am bode will always be lagos states best govt in this era

And the people with AK47s won't respond abi? Do if police picks up innocent ppl and puts toy ak 47 beside them then they can be killed without trial or proof. This ediot president is so stupid...no thought out policies. Wonder if they ever deliberate on these useless orders. Well una vote am in ESPECIALLY my yoruba folks that looked at this Dillard and supported him enmasse

Me that spent 4 months there already had $4700 in my PayPal from joining a video crew to do video editing for music videos
AND IM A FORIEGNER ooo

The worst is "THE VICTIM MENTALITY"
Every small thing, they shout racism
While I was in Georgia Atalanta
I noticed black Americans are always late
And they hate when you correct them
If a white person corrects them of their lateness or bad behavior they call the white person a racist.
They refer to themselves as "COLORED PEOPLE" instead of African American.
They don't want to be associated with Africa
Some hate Africans (one of them called me and my cousin "African booty scratchers" and said that African kids always dusty with flies flying around around their eyes and mouth) SMH
So many childish behavior and victim mentality. It's so annoying.

As a Nigerian, I wish they can spend 1 year in Nigeria
They don't know how lucky they are to be in USA. By the time they step foot here, only the hot sun and generator noise and smoke will deal with them. Dem go hear am.
After my experience in U.S
It is very hard for me to take any black American serious when they complain about racism. I see them as very weak emotional baby adults. Always crying like victims while me a foreigner was making cool cash within my short 4 months I spent there.

oga shut up, you hv no idea what the black community has faced. The white man destroyed their values, poisons their food supply, water via zipcode. Destroyer their two parent homes. Encouraged the black women to be single mothers...ure lucky you grew up in Nigeria with a dad, plus great value systems.

Right from when they're born, toxic vaccines are injected in them. Bulk of them are autistic....u have no idea

They should stay permanently at home... They are quite useless except a few parastatals with abysmal services. Bulk of them are useleess. Nobody even felt the impact of their absence..
