Car Talk / Re: Finally Getting An 09/010 Corolla. Advice by Selfkontrol: 7:29am On Mar 03, 2020

Car Talk / Finally Getting An 09/010 Corolla. Advice by Selfkontrol: 7:16am On Mar 03, 2020
So guys few days ago I posted about an 08 Honda Civic I wanted to get and got some advice. Thanks everyone for your input. Well I contacted the owner and asked why he was selling and he told me the car is low and his area has bad road and that gave me a rethink. For sure I know the car is low but didn’t think It’s that low that would make an owner want to sell it.

The owner lives in port Harcourt and I live in port harcourt myself and the roads here are not all perfect and besides that I want to use the car partly for bolt business and you never can tell where a customer would take you so that justifies my reason for letting it go. So after reading many threads on ‘car talks section’, I’m finally going for an 09/010 Corolla but a Nigerian used one because to get direct Belgium of same model is around 1.8-2m and way out of my budget.

I’m checking out two and they are going for 1.3 and 1.4 respectively. I’m going with a good mechanic today and check everything and also FRSC to verify it’s Authenticity plus other tips I read on here.

I know we’re like family here I need all the advice pls because this would be my first car thank you

Lies. A 2008 vehicle bought brand new in 2016?

Better go with a mechanic to thoroughly inspect it.

Doesn't add up, 2008 bought brand new means 12yrs but used 4years.

The fact that it was bought brand new or not is not important. What is important is the current state of the car.
yes I thought as much. I will check it properly with a good mechanic today. Thank you

I think it is rather expensive for a used one.

Its a nice car. Good engine. Good gearbox, nice fuel consumption.
Only issue is that it is a low ride.
Pls it does not tolerate abuse
I haven’t negotiated yet. That’s just the price on Jiji. I know I can get it for 1.1-1.2 if it’s good

Good evening all, pls I need advice on this Nigerian used car I want to buy since it’s budget friendly. Owner said it was bought brand new with about 70,000+ mileage and it’s going for 1.350m
Been used for 4 years plus and the owner is a manager like I heard.
I’m yet to go with a mechanic and a car scanner though.
I’m just here to seek advice if it’s advisable to go check out the car because I want to use it for bolt business sometimes thank you

on no condition should you buy a Nigerian used corolla bro, most have been bastardized yet they always come with "clean, nothing to fix corolla" sale headline. Please stay away. I will suggest you up your budget to say 1.8 - 2m or so, I'm sure you will get a very clean direct tokunbo with that, you don't want to have a problem car as your first, the frustration is not of this world. I don't know much about cars too, but this is the gospel
thanks bro. I understand most Nigerian used cars are death trap but I just have to find something to get. That’s my budget right now. I can’t afford anything more than that for car and I don’t intend to wait because the car is needed urgently. I planned to go with atleast two mechanics. I’m sure I can get a clean car. Even if it’s camry
Car Talk / Re: Are There Cheap Nigerian Used Cars? by Selfkontrol: 7:56am On Feb 24, 2020
@Gazuzz pls can you advice me on a good car to buy for Uber and personal use? My budget is around 1.4-1.6
I was advised to get a 2007 Corolla sport or a 4plug Toyota spider but that price can’t get it as a good toks is about 1.8-2m for the Corolla
Is it advisable to buy a Nigerian used 2007 Corolla? Or a spider (4plugs) If not please advice me on the best car around my budget that’s not less than 2006 with good fuel economy and and not so bad interior that won’t give me much problems.
I don’t know anything about cars and this would be my first car. Thank you

You have problem of comprehension. Senseless point as usual. Because this is a faceless forum where you hide behind the keyboard doesn't mean you should sound stupiiid, people call me chat me on how to setup a salon which I always give them advice free to setup the salon wayback 2016. This is recent chat someone chat me. If u need to visit keep asking on nairaland till you are answered oo. You can't just make sense cos you're not clever in any way.
hello bro please I need advice on setting up a standard barbing saloon in port harcourt. Budget is around 1.2m
I want to know if it’s a good idea or my money would be better with a different business since you have a better experience and I saw where you said alcohol business is far better. Thank you
Business / My Best Shot In These Three Businesses. by Selfkontrol: 5:01pm On Jan 28, 2020
Evening all, I’m a young guy of 27 years and just recently relocated to port harcourt from yenegoa.
I have been doing some little online business last year like bitcoin and altcoin trading,and investment, mini importation plus other side businesses and have saved up about 1.5m which I intend to invest in a Physcial business.

I thought about keke business on a hire purchase but after all the advice here from experience folks, I realized it’s a no go area.
So now, I came up with these ideas;

1. A standard unisex saloon with cctv cameras to oversee the day to day operations because I won’t always be there to monitor it.
2. A standard barbing saloon/Drycleaner (laundry). A very big space to run the two.
3. A mini fancy outlet to sell Shawama, pizza, barbecue And other small chops,
4. A mini bar

Please I need your opinions and advice on these businesses from experienced folks here and my best bet and if you have a better business idea, please kindly share. I’m sure people would also learn one or two from this post.

Please I don’t need anyone to tell me about going for what I have passion for. I’m sure I will have passion for anything that gives me money. Thank you

Romance / Re: Need A Man For My Single Mom. Any Idea? by Selfkontrol: 8:29pm On Jan 14, 2020
Offpoint:
I'm available, if she can pay me 60k per month to be her companion.

I'm a very jovial, lovely and mature guy...

And precisely, she can't have Jesus and still be lonely.

...........
On a serious note, it's pointless trying to seek a man for your religious mom whom you know if you find a man and her pastor is not in support or she hasn't seen a vision, she will reject him and the circle continues.

Go back home and stay with your mom, for there will be no man who will treat her better than you.
You're her husband now, you carry your Dad traits and she sees him in you.

If you're running away from her because you need a space to go on a fückin spree, I'll look for you whenever you are and knack you jazz.
lmao grin grin aswer bro you’re hilarious. Thanks for your weird advice lol

Okay.

Can you take her to your church sometimes then?
Or get her a club membership in some kind of social setting. I don’t know what you have around you.

But a book club, garden club, etc any thing like that might work .
lol me and church na friend? I hardly go to church. Highest 5 times a year. Doesn’t make me a non believer o lol. I have seen so many rubbish in the name of church. For the club membership, that won’t work. She’s not that type.

You are inviting gold diggers o. Advice your mom to be more social biko. Why can't she keep female friends and what kind of trouble are we looking at
her own case is something is. She’s very controlling and Can be authoritative because she’s doing better than them by far even though they are far older. Sometimes the way she talks to them I feel bad about it. Sad to say but my mom has no regard for them. She’s very nice and very generous but when she’s angry she shouts at them. She wants to the the boss in everything lol. The matter tire me.

Your best bet is open account for her on different social media, reply all messages on her behalf and meet the men first by yourself. Screen and choose the bests.

Then you can arrange a dinner between the 3 of you and after that, release the rein to the suitor, he can handle it from there
I don’t think I have that time. Things like this takes time and I’m a busy person. Maybe I can just open with my phone and use her details and chat men at my spare time but it just sound super weird and creepy

Good intentions but.....it is not your responsibility to find your Mum a man.
She will find one in church on her own...if she wants to.
Its not a matter of if she wants to, She actually wants a man in her life. Lol I’m not sure of finding one in the church becos she attends white garment and people their are mostly old people. In fact her female friends that she ends up having problem with them are far older than her. She has major influence and authoritative because she’s independent and super comfortable so they respect her a lot

If only she attends one of the Pentecostal churches that would have been easier for her but she attends a white garment church that’s mostly filled with old people not her type. To be frank, I don’t think there’s any one she can find in that church. All her past relationships has been outside the church so it makes it even harder. And for people asking if she ever told me she needs a man. I’m her son and yes she needs a man. She always pray for that and hoping on God to bring a man lol

Bro, Firstly when you need serious and mature advice it's always better to post in the family section, here is full jokers and kids (no offense)

It seems you are an only child, if you are, then I'm happy to announce to you, you can't get "rid" of her, She is your first wife, she is always going to be in your business as long you are closeby. My friend who is also an only child didn't even allow the mom to know his house even when they are in the same city, though he goes home to visit every weekend. Maybe you should adopt this means too, it seems unfair but if you REALLY want that privacy then you should.

I know you are looking out for her happiness, I can't even imagine how lonely it can get, it also good she is devoted to the church to at least occupy her time.

The best place for someone like her is nowhere except where she spends most her time, the church but I'm sure she doesn't just interest. Talk to her pastor about your worry and concern, the pastor will be in the best position to help.

Finally , please don't be too far away from her in the name of "hustle and privacy"
yes bro you’re right. I’m the only child. I don’t think keeping her away from my house is a good option, It won’t be funny at all but I might be forced to do that and I feel bad because I know how lonely she would be and she would read a different meaning to it. She’s based in yenegoa but mostly in Port harcourt because of business Nd church (80% of the time) and I just rented my place in ph so she would always give me unwanted and unexpected visits which I don’t want.

How can I find a good and matured man for my single independent mother. (She’s 46)
I am a young guy in my 20s and I just recently rented an apartment that’s just like two hours drive from her because I need my own space and privacy and to hussle as a man.

I lost my dad when I was still a teenager but before then my mom and dad where separated. (He married other wives thought)
Truth is deep down I knew my mom never wanted me to rent the apartment but I had to make that decision and move out for my sanity because I can’t do any reasonable thing in the Godforsaken state I am so I needed to move out and start life as a man

The problem now is I know for sure my mom will be lonely. She has already started disturbing me to take her to my house I rented even when I have not packed in lol. She had other relationships that I knew of but non worked out. She’s overly spiritual too and believes you have to seek the face of God for a man lol. That made her loose a good man that I know. Her reason was she had a bad dream about him lol and a pastor told her he’s not her husband and so many bullshit

She’s not into social media so that option is ruled out.
It has to be physical. She needs a man in her life before she start invading my privacy because of loneliness
She doesn’t have any female friends. She ends up having problem with them at the end.

He life is just church and business. Infact she’s mostly in church. So please guys if you have any good idea and advice, kindly drop. Thanks
