is there no way to save it

Just backup your work. To save it, you may have to open it and reset the disk.

FFK is lousy. I don't see anything wrong in what that guy asked him but he decided to make it look like the guy was insulting him.

Yankee101:
He dosen't need the money or position

He's comfortable

I like people who will tell the truth, sometimes at a cost

What truth? His story is vague. He didn't say anything.

It may be dying

All I see here is more of failed parenting. If only the parents of the minor have built good values into the girl, this won't happen. An 8 year old child isn't too small to differentiate right from wrong, especially in matters as this.

Let's not only blame the young man but the parents of this little girl. This is one of the manifestations of a failed society as a result of failed families. What you have here may be the making of a rugged prostitute. It's sad.

I'm still here. We can do it together.

Keep seeking your information for an sick elderly woman sir. I'd be hanging around to see how it goes.

What exactly is this one saying?

Everything about Nigeria oozes corruption since the days of old.

I like the way this drama is going. I pray it keeps unfolding. One way or the other, Nigeria, just like Zambia shall be free.

BabaOwen:
This is a very good news.

Even though GMB has been failing woefully in security, fight against corruption and power, he is still the best Nigeria president since 1999

You've just said he's failed in all the things that give life a meaning, what still makes him the best Nigeria president again sir? Is it because his name is Buhari? Let's stop reasoning from our anus please.

I am a silent reader on Nairaland and I created this account just for this post.

So I have been following this thread early 2019 I was not in need of a replacement vehicle, but I keep checking from time to time and I see nice deals, Fast forward to March 9 2020, I took amdmans number and messaged him to keep the good job up and I will be buying from him soon.

Auto response gave me a thank you replay, then I wrote him: I am looking got a 2007 to 2009 MDX with a very good price. Good two weeks he no reply, I wasn't angry because lots of people keep complaining about him not replying messages, yet he comes online every now and then . I waited another 4 days, I sent him a message again ; please once you come across 08 to 09 MDX with good price let me know

Two days later this man never reply me, by this time I am already putting the monies together and this was around the same time the Ford explorer issue came up but I didnt let that deter me. 3 days after this man never still reply me, I was already getting angry that which kind person be this and I decided to message him again and luckily he responded and apologize for not responding

First thing I did was thank him for replying even though say na my money I wan spend,
Immediately he asked " what's your budget" I look say wetin dey do this man, sheybi na you dey state price I told him it depends on what he finds and we will see how we can work with the cost

He said prices of MDX are expensive right now, the price he gave me was 500k more than my budget he said my money can only get me RDX, Luckily he had one RDX at the time he sent pictures and videos, but it was white coloured which I rejected, then told him to let me know once he finds another color for the RDX. I thanked him again for replying (imagine)

April 17 I messaged him again not to forget me, either the MDX or the RDX auto reply came again

Two days later he replied and asked what's my budget, this time I got infuriated wetin dey do this man na sheybi we don talk before. I said to him what you find is what we will work with and if you find 06 to 08 Acura RL I am equally interested

He gave me the price of RL which was too expensive for me, in my mind I said RL wey cheap for Naija and no one wants to buy it, he said exchange rate is the problem, i suggested to him I waited a little more maybe things will get better with naira, he said OK keep me posted

About 26 days after I messaged him again, happy anniversary Amdman and that auto reply came up again he replied few minutes after, I told him not to forget my 07 08 MDX he said buzz me next week Monday dealerships are opening. He again asked my budget and that got me angry, sheybi I don tell this man this thing why he dey ask me unnecessary question again i said to myself

I asked him the payment plan and he gave one that was very suitable for me, me wey my money never complete. Three days after which was a Monday I contacted him to remind him as advised, he gave me the same price that wasn't within my budget and I was still offering something lower, I expected him to get mad and tell me off but he didn't I told him I will save more and he said okay ( The man is very encouraging)

Very nice of him, I was already appearing unserious by now but he was cool with me. By this time I was already feeling comfortable with amdman as he is replying my messages within minutes. 2 weeks later I messaged him that my money is ready he replied and said once he identifies a vehicle he will let me know, 3 days after nothing from him I thought he had forgotten me I messaged him again he didn't reply

I messaged him the day after and he responded saying he is on the lookout, what he has seen so far is even 200k more than my new budget this time it's a 2009 MDX, I told him let's take 100k off and I will make payment he said it wont work

Later he sent me a 2007 with my comfortable budget I said okay lets do this, by this time I was getting tired of adding more money , dollar was also adding weight every other day on the other side. After several hours no message form him I asked for update he didn't reply

He messaged me the day after telling me he is waiting for feedback from the seller.

The day after, he messaged me himself with pictures of another MDX this time 2008, i was tired by now I just said okay let's do this. What surprised me is he could have added more money for the 2008 he found but he didn't

We exchange contact and account number, he sent me the invoice, money was sent and later that day he sent me pictures and video when he was inspecting. He showed me the scratches on the vehicle and I still okayed it

2 days later he messaged me with more pictures of the vehicle and said it has been delivered to shipper, I did not expect it to be that quick. 12 days later I asked him amdman how far, he said car was shipped yesterday and in few days he would send me the tracking, by this time I had his balance and he sent the tracking as promised and I sent the balance 2 days after

The wait began, the cost of the wait is more expensive than the vehicle itself. I started tracking the level every 3 days, I was following it from port to port , vessel to vessel, voyage to voyage until the container discharged here in Nigeria

I messaged him after 11 days of discharge for update he replied almost immediately and said his team mates are working on it and will be available in a couple of days. That faithful day came, my entire community was on ground for the arrival (about 200 people) children inclusive and we gave the vehicle a welcome party

Amdman it takes a lot of courage for a stranger to trust you with millions of naira without meeting you in person or knowing where to find you. You have never failed anyone on that, God will continue to bless your hand. Please don't fail

I trusted an idiot with 3k here on auto section for a service, it's over 5 months he won't refund or reply my messages

Amdman always respond to your customers when they don't feel satisfied, settle the little difference with them don't give them reasons to ever call you out on here, what you have built here is worth more than that.

Some people are here monitoring the thread waiting for you to fail, while some potential customer don't care and will still go ahead and do business with you regardless of what anyone brings on here

As for we customers, we are buying used cars it will sure have one or two things to fix let's budget 50 to 60k and that might be enough for the fixes we need depending on the kind of vehicle we bought

Amdman, this business you have can't be handled by you alone. You need to employ someone else to attend to inquires while you are out doing your thing for other customers. You sure cannot satisfy everyone but you can do better than this

Over a thousand cars and counting , God bless your hands.

Pardon my typo and construction

God bless us

Are you writing a novel? What is it sef Congrats anyway since everyone is congratulating you.

. Habit / Character / Greediness / Wrong Attitudes of someone is different from the Blood in his body.A Criminal/ Armed robber blood does not meant that His the blood in him is a criminal too ,if such blood is transfused into another person ,It will never made him a Criminal please .There could be a Problem only when the blood of an Infected sick person with Serious infection like HIV etc is transfused into another person .But I know Medical doctors must have carried a test on someone before they gets his or her blood .I repeat you are very very wrong to let a Soul to die when such Soul can be saved with blood transfusion it's just unfortunate that the Person in question is either sick in his brain or his religious idealogy is sick

I'm not against blood transfusion in its entirety but I'm only calling for caution. Health practitioners should seek the consent of the patient directly or indirectly except in rare cases as this.

I understand all you guys have said. However, I'll still seek more clarifications on transfer of characters or genetic characters that may be on the blood.

Thanks so much for the enlightenment. We learn everyday.

BabaRamota1980:
Really? The same church where pastor sleep with married women. Thats body of christ?

Ahh, look, who knows where i can enroll for bible school? I need to become a evangelist pastor.

You are free to open a Bible school or even run a church. But know one thing, you'll eventually be disgraced like the ones that do abominable things in the church. Go and check all those who try to make a mockery of the church how their life is and also check those who are genuinely call for the work how they're doing. So anyone is free to do anything I'm the name of God and the church but the Satan they work for always have a way of disgracing them.

I'll stand for Christ regardless because I know the bad news are coming from the wolves in sheep's clothing within the church. It's always a matter of time before the weeds are separated from the crops. The church is open for all but if you think you can come in and rubbish the name of God, you tell yourself a lie.

. Seek the consents of a dying man indirectly .Asking a dying man who is unconscious the contact of a family member / friend to sign for him .Your comments rightly proves that many are really mad but few are Roaming the street Naked . Psychiatrist on the Platform pls.check this one .

Papa, calm down. I said some people may even prefer to die than accept blood. Now that the man is alive and isn't appreciating your 'gesture,' what do you do? Isn't the doctors the same people that wouldn't attend to a dying man because there's no one to deposit for his treatment? What if you end up giving the person the blood of a criminal and later he becomes a highway robber? Don't you think it would've have been better you allow him to die?

Kobojunkie:
God never asked His followers to gather in buildings belonging to world government registered businesses.

There's no sense in what you've just typed. By the way, did God even ask you to type this? No! So why did you do? You can't answer. Did we have churches in the days of old? Yes! Why don't you want to see the church today? You can't answer. However, the point remains that the Nigeria CAMA Act 2020 against the church won't stand whether you like it or not. Don't be an enemy to the cause of Christ and still parading like you are for Him. Stop this ignorance. It'll only take you to hell. I won't answer you again.

Kobojunkie:
God is only concerned with His followers and their obedience to His Commandments. Your churches and their existences as business entities of the world have nothing to do with God, but the world.

Who are God's followers and where do they gather to praise and worship Him? It's not my churches sir, it's the church of Christ. Jesus Christ alone started the church. It has nothing to do with business. Whoever is using a church's name to do business is entirely up to the person. You or I are not in a position to judge. Let God alone pass judgement.

It shouldn't be because someone does something and you are not happy with the person and then you generalize. Let's stop this nonsense. We have true churches and children of God maintaining their focus on their calling on a daily basis. When you begin to generalize, you pack them in and that's wrong.

You don't pull the whole house down because the roof is leaking. You fix the leakage and let the house be. Sadly, in this case, it's not ours to fix it but God who owns it. The church wasn't man's idea but Christ himself. We had churches right from the days of old and the church would stand until the day of Jesus Christ. No one can cut it down through useless laws. It's written that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church and so shall it be.

Kobojunkie:
Nah! please leave God out of the world's business

What's God's business to you? How do you define it? School me, please.

BabaRamota1980:
We know govt isnt God, are Pastors God?

You have pastors who have abandoned the pulpit and are chasing election news in a rush to be the first with prophesy. Pastors are now predicting who will win what state, who will die when, what calamity is about to happen. Is this truly good for society?

It's not about the pastors but the church. The church is the body of Christ and not about any man. Hence, no government can rubbish the body of Christ. Most importantly, Nigeria is the heartbeat of God so evil can't prevail. CAMA is evil against the church and the clause that's conflicting with the church's operation should be removed. It's like another man coming to run your family where you are the head. How would you feel?

On the issue of prophesy, there's nothing wrong about it. Prophesy by design is meant to be a warning so we can adjust our actions and avert it. It's shouldn't be about prophesying sweet things except when totally necessary. If a man of God prophesies about an impending calamity and then we adjust our actions to avert it, isn't that a good thing?

I understand that there are bad eggs in Christianity, just as it is in every other religion, but it's God's to weed His church and not any man to try to take advantage of that to destroy it. This is what it is. If you know anyone that is part of the CAMA plan against the church, tell them to walk away. This is a fight against God and no man can stand Him.

BabaRamota1980:
The churches brought this upon themselves.

There are many muslim communities just like Zakzaky group in North. They mind their business and never get involved in govt issues. Zakyzaky stays in govt business all the time. Thats why he is in trouble now.

Jonathan set a bad precedence when he will have these pastors meddling govt business. They got too comfortable and started commenting on what govt is doing or not doing. When you are a tax exempt organization, stay away from govt the best you can. Put a long distance between you and govt. Govt has all the rules and ways to fvk up anyone, if they choose to. These churches did same thing Zakyzaky did, started fvkng with govt. So now govt wants to fcvk with them too. Its unfortunate but its reality.

There is a pastor in America called Pastor Dollar or something like that. He used to condemn govt and live large and flaunt. One of their legislators got on his case and wanted to probe him and his church. The Pastor got the message at that point.

If CAMA can bring out same result in Nigerian pastors it will be great. The money they waste on acquiring jets and building for-profit private institutions should be better used in promoting wellbeing and supporting needs of communities and people. At the end of it people benefit when churches come to their aid in time of distress and need.

CAMA will fail in Nigeria even if similar laws is succeeding elsewhere. Mark my words, it will fail. Government isn't God. Don't magnify them. God can direct man's heart to anywhere. Beware!

Funny thing is; the fix was done like last week Thursday. Car runs great and the dashboard is cluster free. I had written this off but the dude didnt even care to check up on. I cudnt let dat shit slide, it aint abt the money.

I understand you perfectly. Forgive and move on. Be happy with your ride. It is well.

amuwo1980:
Are u ok?

In 2014, we were yearning for APC change. In 2020, we are praying against and wishing PDP continued. In 2023, another stupid set would come in, and then the cycle continue and here you say coup is bad. Are you okay as well?

amdman:
Oga... let’s be calming down. We cannot tell anyone; customer or not, to go to hell

... After that, you go offline, read and ignore.

I understand that you can't literally tell anyone to go to hell, but the action here suggest so. If only you responded to the customer in record time, this issue wouldn't have gotten to this stage.

I don't see any issue here that should be escalated to this level but your poor handling of the issue led to this. Now others are mocking him that once he was by your side. You didn't consider that.

Look, running a business is like leading people. Sometimes, a leader can run into pains to keep his subjects happy, else, sooner or later, he may be standing alone. In business, sometimes you can run into losses to keep your customers happy, else, sooner or later, you may be running your business alone.

Again, I don't see any issue here. If whatever is the problem can even be fixed, you work with the customer, fix the problem and move on. You are big and you don't have to argue everything especially when the other party is cooperating. A good name is better than silver or gold. If you feel you can't bear losses sometimes in your business, then clean up your present problems and close the business without messing up your reputation.

In my review, I warned about handling by your team at port. I had a reason, but here we are today, that's still an issue. That means you don't consider buyers' review to improve your business. But the problem isn't that but you. YOU!

I see no reason why Amdman should be allowing issues like this to escalate. It doesn't make sense to me at all and it only shows he's a bad businessman. What's 70k that he cannot share the loss with the buyer?

The buyer understands that the fault isn't yours and that can be a good point for argument. Yet you tell him 'go to hell' and here he is in hell. I hope this makes you happy Amdman. Typical Nigerians! You'll always find that trail of where they come from in them even when they leave the country.

I don't blame these guys. If only the democratically elected government was good, the army won't have time for this. The only reason this is not happening in Nigeria is because the army here has been purchased and pocketed. A real army won't fold hands and watch the way things are going on in Nigeria. Our army here is counterfeit.

I don't support coup but if this is what we need in Africa so our politicians can wake up to their responsibilities, then so be it. Africa's suffering and underdevelopment is too much and something needs to change.

APC man you will never see any good thing in any PDP governor.

You are wrong sir. I'm neutral. I'm a supporter of anything good, whether from APC or PDP. I used to support Buhari but the man disappointed me so bad. Now I'm neutral. I like Ayade as a person but he should step up.
