It's quite unfortunate that people like these exist here. Not a very great tribute but it does have some elements of truth. I am a mechanic and I'm extremely proud of my profession because I believe I have all the knowledge and experience to handle any automobile issue hence my background as a qualified and certified Automobile Engineer with experience that spans three continents.

Thus said, yes we do have many unscrupulous elements parading as Auto technicians who will recklessly rip apart any unsuspecting victim and fleece them as an appended part of his trade. Many of such victims usually seek cheap labour and minimal costs to parts (usually fake or substandard) to effect repairs on their cars. Familiarity and fairness of the first visit is the lure and over time becomes breach in trust, negligence and ignorance not forgetting incompetence. But thats what you get when you want cheap, unprofessional and unskilled labor. Most of these mechanics are illiterate to the discipline and ethics required for these tasks which are mostly complicated and requires a good level of knowledge of the operational principles of the Internal Combustion engine and the all its associated components before establishing a service provision platform. So you'll find out that most car owners are more educated via interactions and information on the Internet than the individual handling a repair job on their behalf. The frustration is that most car owners don't want to get their hands dirty and most likely don't have the mechanical temerity to process the job hands-on or may possibly be a total layperson. Thats the price you pay.

Back to terra firma, I have always maintained integrity and honesty as watchwords in my own professional conducts and have exhibited and conducted various challenging jobs in car repairs in 37 years of my career and I do know that certain jobs requires well grounded knowledge of car mechanics and particularly specific to the make and model of any car before ANY kind of repairs is attempted. I as a professional have had my hand burnt and disappointed from third party associations and have learned the hard way especially here in the climes of Nigeria. What I know now and understand is quite unbelievable and the dark side for those who don't know is treacherous and uncharted. Still best to approach with caution by verifying content and capacity before engagement.

Now for the poster of this post, may I inform you that Gazzuzz is not a thief. Kingreign is not a thief. Sienna is not a thief. Ikenna is not a thief and my humble self The Car-doctor of Nairaland, I AM NOT A THIEF. We are all professionals in this industry and I believe we represent and eschew great value on this forum so I bsee this as an insult to our personalities and more importantly our integrity when we get labeled and listed in the likes of those "quacks" as you rightly named whom you may have fallen victim to.

I am demanding an apology from you for you statement in this post on behalf of all Nairalanders and moderators especially on the Car Talk forum.

If I can ask you a question from the advice that you gave. It will go thus: WHO WILL FIT IN THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE YOU ADVISED? WHO?

Please lets respect ourselves here and avoid putting unnecessary fear into the hearts of those who are passionate and reliant on our honest contributions on this forum.

Thank you.

One chilled Goldberg for you boss🙌

A soldier's sacrifice, a nation's pride
Their bravery in battle, we cannot hide
With hearts full of honor, they fought for our land
Their memories we cherish, hand in hand

Their footsteps echoed through the sands of time
As they marched forward, their hearts aligned
To protect and serve, their solemn vow
For Nigeria's freedom, they gave their all, now

On this Armed Forces Remembrance Day
We pay tribute to their courage in every way
Their legacy lives on, a beacon of light
Guiding us forward, through the darkest night

May their memories inspire us to strive
For a united Nigeria, where peace and love thrive
We salute their bravery, their honor and might
Nigeria's fallen heroes, we remember you tonight.

My Toyota Corolla car fuel gauge was like these when we reached Ibadan from Abuja.

But we refilled as a precaution but when we get to lagos the driver said the full tank would have been a enough to take us to lagos even if we didn't refill in Ibadan.


Lagos to Abuja was 748 kilometers, more than 11hrs.

Budget 1 full tank and half depending on your destination. If you’re goin as a far as Kubwa, Bwari you should have enough fuel to take you home from Lagos

Half tank did it with a Toyota Yaris.

There used to be a South African girl here on this forum, by the name Samantha, but she deleted her account.

I have asked this particular one if she was the one, she said no, that she isn't from SA, so i felt she is from Nigeria.

She’s the one.

Dshocker:
Stop lying, we know Nigerian girls don't woo guys, whether direct or indirect.

She’s not Nigerian

I have been monitoring my corolla 2010 model fuelling lately.

My car have covered 249km with 27.3 liters of fuel.

Is this fuel efficient, if no.....pls what do i need to do to improve my fuel efficiency.

There is no visible sign of check light.

It’s not bad actually. You should just look out for some things. If the spark plugs are still white, your fuel consumption is good. Your driving habits too matters. If you accelerate and brake aggressively, your fuel go tell you. Among other factors sha

One time a corp member flogged my younger brother who was in jss1 at that time. He said his offense was that he wasn’t writing the dictated lesson fast enough thereby slowing down the lesson or something. He flogged the poor boy 24 strokes on his back. He came back home crying with different crazy cane marks on his back.

Wetin vex me pass na when I hear say the stupid corpse say nothing even soldier fit do am. I sent the picture of the lacerated back to an uncle who’s a lieutenant colonel plus his claim. Next day we visited the school with one army hilux of soldiers. Unfortunately it was a Thursday, the WEREY wasn’t around. The school management begged and begged.
The following term, the boy’s school fees were waived for us.

You said she shouldn't have arrested the teacher though that it is too much.

Let’s say it’s your child it happened to, you’ll be saying the same thing you’re saying now

Are you sure the quality of the iphone 7 camera has not faded. Considering the fact that, the iphone 7 is an older version of iphone that was made so many years ago?

Its not, Considering your budget. If you shoot indoors ensure there is proper lightning. If outdoors, its not bad. You just have to ensure the phone you're getting is in good condition.

Iphone has a very good mic if your going to use it for recording. Newer versions have this background noise reduction features which is very great if you're recording in a busy place outside.

What do we want to do with 5mp camera?

If Ogun later kill am now, people go dey pity am dey blame govt join.

The man sef don forget say na eod, the fuel go finnish this week. Them go catch am. Ekiti is not as big as it appears.

Yes... They tend to be loud and agressive.

Maybe cos they're closer to the ground. So they feel intimidated always.

Start with a fairly used IPhone 7 if you have power supply. You should get a good one withim your budget and even get a ring light for lightning.

The iphone is better cos of its microphone and camera. Downside is the battery and incase you have to send it to an android device, it might not come in the usual mp4 format you know which might cause a small problem for you if you don't know your way around it.

Na this one you call belgium equivalent?
