You folks should stop politicising or tribalising this issue.
She was truly innocent, so good justice.

Other Nigerians languishing in Jails and killed across d world are guilty abi?
Even the well known xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa, what did Buhari do?
There will be no peace without equality.

Oga no woman wants to suffer in poverty n penury doesn't matter if she's Igbo, ijaw or kanuri, even the God u r talking about said any man who can't provide for his family is an abomination.

Hello house,
Am a single bachelor living alone, I like to stock my kitchen with foodstuff. I buy everything... Rice, beans, garri, semo, fish, noodles, yam,oil, ,seasonings ,crayfish, stockfish,eggs everything in large quantities.

I Cook when I have the time cos I like cooking.
My problem is that most times my food stuff gets spoilt before making use of them, especially eggs and fish.
I don't know how to buy them in small quantities, I don't want to get home and be lacking anything.
I don't have a fridge cos I don't see the usefulness but I have a deep freezer.
I hate it that am wasting food cos I know millions of people go hungry everyday.
How can I preserve my foodstuff? I need help here pls.
Thanks.

Poverty don deal with this one wella.

This thread is polluted and no longer making sense.

DreCharles:
So guys, I eventually got the w203.
Such a lovely ride.

On my way back from the owner's place I saw coolant level low on the dash. Further investigation revealed that water was boiling over for the radiator in steam form. It occurred 3 times again after refilling the radiator. My Kazeem says it's the water pump. Previous owner said he changed water pump two months ago. Could it be that the water pump earlier changed was faulty or there are other underlying issues causing overheating. What are the things I should look out for in dealing with the issue. Thanks guys. Anticipating a robust answer

Cc: auhanson

The problem u r having may just be the coolant tank lid..
Try another lid or water can cover as they call it here....start the car n allow it to idle for like 30 mins and observe..
Goodluck

BrokenCock:
u just wan see nked girls and women joor .forget this talk

....n wot is wrong with that

This is pure witch hunt and bad belle.
This is just jealousy of the highest order, because the owner is an Igbo man abi and he is making it big.
which neighbors are complaining? that area is filled up with hotels and clubs.
Caramelo is located between two hotels.... Why didn't they also demolished the hotels?
The same AEPB that collects outrageous bills from Caramelo.

Only 87mph? The engineers no try at all.

kingreign:
Brother man, why you so angry and bitter and rude?
Please, who offended you?
What do you need to feel better?
In what ways can we assist to make you feel better?

NOTE: I am genuinely concerned about you as I have been noticing your writeups in this thread shows a trend of anger, bitterness, and uncouthness.

I am sorry if you may find this offensive in anyway but I am seriously bothered about you and I wish you well.
Thanks.

This is an insult...how did my posts showed anger?
Have I threatened anyone?
Did I insult anybody.?
I have a right express my opinion(s)...do u want me gagged?
Do u want me to stop posting in the thread?

Good to know that I have people like u who care about me and wants me to feel better.... Since you want me to feel better.
Get me one of these,it will put a smile to my face.

Eddee:
Baba, I said what I know. Didn't say all are 4matics, I explicitly implied that I'm yet to see one that isn't. Good morning

U meant they are all 4matics...don't try to play smart abeg. No one knows it all.

Essont:
My local mechanic is warning me against a w202 C200 with air flow meter, please is that really something I should be scared of? Can someone explain what the MAF is and how frequently does it fails? How much is the cost?

Is it something I should be bothered about?

U need a new mechanic

Eddee:
Yet to see an AMG that isn't 4matic

Oga say wot u know C63 is a rear wheel drive

Jay3999:
So yhu say maintenance and part are cheap 2007 c300

Depends on the depth of your pocket and what u consider cheap.
Always set aside between 150-200k for replacement /maintenance of very important parts that may fail.

nakoks:
What is wrong with 4matics please?apart from the pricey shocks and shafts

Do you want owners of 4matics to come for my head?
Ain't saying anything more.

Jay3999:
[color=#770077][/color] hello guys i just graduted from school and i want get a benz thats fuel efficient and the maintenance is affordable with less electrical issues i had 2007 c300 in mind what do u fink i need ur advice

C300 is a good choice but if you crave power and speed like me you should go for d C350 2009 sport or u can go for the almighty C63 AMG na there work finish for C class. In all u do stay away from 4matics.

Personally I have never had any issues importing cars from Yankee.. The cars that I do buy are from private owners and some are from auction.. But at the same time it is not like I import 50 cars a year.. And also the issues that I do have at times with the cars is rust.. The states that I buy from tend to get a lot of snow.. But overall have had more good cars than bad ones..
From my experience bad oil and use of water instead of coolant is the number one killers of cars on Nigeria.. Let me break it down for u .. I started investing in uber when uber was still fresh in Nigeria.. I had cars been managed for me . And every time the car is always having issues, sludge, engine smoke etc .. It got so bad that I had to remove sludge from all my cars.. So I ask the manager what is going on ,he said engine not strong, your cars are not built like Toyota etc .. So I Google what causes sludge in cars.. So now I ask the manager what oil does he use for my cars.. He said Total oil 5k naira ...but what grade do you use.. He says total and total is good oil.. But I said the car requires 5w30, but he said total is ok.. I shook my head.. And I now went into more research about engine oil .. The benefits of synthetic oil and mineral oil .. Types of oil etc when to change oil .. Did research on Mobil 1 oil and castrol oil etc. So I than started with castrol till I was able to settle with Mobil 1oil . So I personally use them and sell them.. I notice that mostly Nigerian do have the same attitude towards car maintenance, between mechanic and car owners I can't tell which ones are worse or ignorant.. A lot of them fail to educate themselves.. Mind you I can't even change tire at or do my own oil change.. But I notice a problem that was causing me to lose money and I look for answers.. All these oil stuff are just basic things that people should know about, but sadly people don't bother . Ever since I started using the correct oil, my cars are doing better..
My experience is that lack of good engine oil is the number one reason or one of the reason of car issues with cars in Nigeria.. They are others reasons too ,but trust me wrong engine oil will be top 5 .. ..
Ps. I had to replace 80% of my cars on uber due to wrong engine oil .. And started all over ( true story).

As much as I don't want to doubt ur story.
It's a fact that if u change from mineral to synthetic oil the chances of having oil leaks is very high. 2 out of 5 cars will have a smoking engine after the switch... this is because most synthetic oils contains detergents that will wash off deposits that had been acting as sealant in the the engine. Xw30 grade synthetic oils is a bad choice for our climate. The oil will thin out at high temperatures, our concern here should be on the behaviour of the oils at high temperatures and not freezing temperature.
The higher the number the better.
Also bear in mind that some engines are designed to burn oil(yes u heard right)...when u use oils that thins out at high temperatures the engine will burn off most of the oil before ur service due date and you will have oil shortages which will eventually result to a knock. This is one of the reasons why most people engine will knock.
They will pour in synthetic oils and believe that it will serve their engines for 6,8,or 12 months not knowing that the engines burns the oil gradually till it will get to dangerous low levels where the engine will eventually knock.

dru23:
The manufacture recommended 5w20 for that car .. You dey use 20w50. So I guess u know a lot better than than manufacture.. Smh ...#get the strap# if a knowledgeable buyer hears that, the person will never buy that car .. I wish I believe u .. So that civic is still running strong... people like you are the ones that wrecked my uber cars .. Due to the use of wrong engine oil .. People like you are the reasons that I started importing oil ... so basically it means that you will still use 20w50 on a 2018 brand new civic.. Smh ... thank God I have the means to bring in tokunbo cars .. Personally I will never, never ,ever buy naija used cars ..due to the maintenence culture of people like you and Nigerians as whole .. I always advice people when it comes to oil always follow the manufacture advice.
Example below is the ATF for a 2013 Hyundai Genesis for a client of mine. He could have use any ATF ,but he follows the manufacture advice to use the correct fluid.. Those transmission of those cars cost a fortune.. People try and read your owners manual.. It will save you cost and headache in the long run

I tot u will even say u will start buying new cars, tokunbo cars are second hand vehicles.
You don't know what the cars have been through forget that Vin report u believe so much in. Most of the reports are not comprehensive enough or doctored to place more value on the second vehicles.
If you don't know most people in Europe and America where you get ur tokunbo cars from don't know much about vehicles, maintenance or how it works.
Go to YouTube, you will see videos of white people trying to pour in diesel in a petrol car, or petrol in a diesel.
I saw one where a white lady took her electric car to refuel in a gas station.

The truth most people won't tell you is that in grading engine oils winter climates are considered first before tropical regions.
Let me also let u know that the bigger challenge we have here is bad fuel....there is no where in Nigeria that you can get 100% unadulterated petrol. Maybe u will also import ur petrol.
Bad fuel is a vehicles no 1 enemy, its worse than bad oil.
Whatever you think you are doing right you will eventually need another car tomorrow. So why spend a fortune on a vehicle that u will eventually replace?

I know that I am spoiling business for some people here.
I will continue to do that until u start doing the right thing

nakoks:
Bros no vex i no like quarrel,na oil the guy ask of.besides lets open your engine and inspect for sludge,I have used 20W50 for 7 years on a honda and serviced every 2 months,the engine didnt knock but what about compression?economy? wear?so much to mention just a few...he can use 5w30 too but i prefer the 5w40 haven used both

OK, I like it that u want us to discuss like humans.
The primary purpose of oil is to lubricate moving parts in an engine. All over the world, the advantage(s) of synthetic oil over mineral oil is a subject of debate.
1) sludge: Sludge is not entirely a bad thing.
Sludge will hold a weak seal together for the life span of ur engine. synthetic oils will clean out the deposits that may be holding a weak seal together. This will lead to an engine oil leak that will cause myriad of problems and cost you a lot of money to fix as well.

2.Economy: It is not proven that synthetic oil will give u a better millage than mineral oil, even if this is true the amount u spend on synthetic will cancel whatever gain u make on gas millage.

3. Wear: both mineral and synthetic oils have been proven to decrease wear. Though from test results carried out by some oil companies it was proven that both mineral oil and synthetic oil will decrease wear.
Wear will eventually come cos nothing lasts forever.

Let me stop here for now.

CityNGR:
I feel like slapping you with the harmonic balancer in your M112

Very unfortunate for u that u will never have that privilege in ur 10 lifetimes

nakoks:
Be weary of the counsel of ahithophel...what A feels is working which actually isnt..might be disastrous for B.Total Synthetic 5w40,Castrol 5w40,Liqui Moly 5w40 are a few great oils for your engine

Actually not working? I guess u own my car to know its not working?
If u like use 0w20 my XHP gets the job done well with enough change to spare.
I wonder why u r not recommending 5w30 Mobil 1 to him since its the approved oil by Benz.
Why are u not recommending Benz battery or Benz coolant?

CityNGR:

Why u dey quote me dey squeeze face?

Essont:
So which do you recommend as an alternative to the Mobil 1?

Which engine?
Mine is 3.2l M112 and I use Mobil XHP 20w50.

HeavenlyBang:
Do whatever works for you. We didn't contribute money to buy the car for you after all.

I know bro but misinformation is disservice to humanity.
Peace

HeavenlyBang:
And I'm sure your owners manual doesn't support it. Good luck with your car, do whatever works for you but don't try to convince people that it's the best.

Am not trying to convince any1 mate ...I know my car like the back of my palm, why spend over 30k servicing an engine that is not more than 50k in the market top down.
Doesn't make economic sense.
The worst is that one will still buy fake oil labelled as Mobil 1.
This what they won't tell u.
They will ask people to revert to Mobil 1 without putting into consideration the history of the car. For Gods seek we don't have a freezing whether here.

Viscosity is notated with the common "XW-XX." The number preceding the "W" rates the oil's flow at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-17.8 degrees Celsius).
The "W" here stands for winter, not weight as many people think.

The lower the number here, the less the oil thickens in the cold. So 5W-30 viscosity engine oil thickens less in the cold than a 10W-30, but more than a 0W-30.
An engine in a colder climate, where motor oil tends to thicken because of lower temperatures, would benefit from 0W or 5W viscosity.

The second number after the "W" indicates the oil's viscosity measured at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius). This number represents the oil's resistance to thinning at high temperatures. For example, 10W-30 oil will thin out at higher temperatures faster than 10W-40 will.

HeavenlyBang:
If you're throwing shade, @ the individuals with your chest. These subs are unbecoming.

Throwing shades?
That will be childish.
I've been using Mobil XHP 20w50 on my C320 for 5 years now and I still travel on average of 170km/h.
Dem no born you well to overtake me with ur fake Mobil 1 .
Am even praying for the engine to kaput but engine no gree die.
Why will someone ask people to buy their groundnut oil Mobil 1? In the name of OEM oil.

Bia!! Take your time.. Anything Toyota is the best
