Travel / Re: My Wife Younger Brother Invited Me To USA; Please I Need Guidance/steps by sintin: 5:53pm On Mar 11, 2023
The US embassy doesn't need and won't reckon with an invitation letter to determine your case. So take the invitation letter with a pinch of salt. Also good luck getting an appointment date before the graduation date. You are looking at 12-15 months away to get an appointment

This is not absolute, for buses it's mostly exact fare because the drivers do not carry cash, cos of robbery, but if you pay at the Station kiosk manned by a staff/employee before boarding bus or train, you will be given your change to the last cent(s) .
In the stores, you will be given your change to the last cent with receipt except you decline the receipt.

Car Talk / Re: Lets Debate This: Fuel Consumption Between A Honda And Toyota by sintin: 3:36pm On Feb 05, 2022
I think we keep making some basic mistake here, each manufacturer states clearly their miles per gallon (MPG) on the vehicle manual, so if a manufacturer states 17mpg for honda and toyota states 15 mpg for instance, then that settles it. Secondly, the Engine size should be the main consideration here, I think the civic is probably 1.4 litre engine while Toyota corolla is 1.6. Hence from the design the honda will definitely consume less fuel than the Toyota corolla.

If you are Uber Partner or Driver in Lagos, kindly share your experience here:

- Considering the unpredictable traffic situation in some parts of Lagos, is it lucrative?
- How much on the average do you make weekly, cworking from morning till evening daily excluding weekends?
- What are the challenges specific to Lagos with being a partner or driver with Uber?
- Would you recommend a friend to be a partner with Uber.
- Any other useful info...

I need this survey/shared experience because I have thought of being a partner with Uber. I have a driver that is assigned to my family. My family's daily itinerary is fixed and this makes my driver and my car idle from 8am to 8pm daily. Registering the car and the driver with Uber has been considered to roll extra bucks into the family's purse and increase my driver's take-home as he will get commission from money made from Uber, apart from the salary he is being paid presently.

Your comments will be appreciated!

Thank you ma'am.

Do not try it with the CR-V. transmission can't handle it especially in mountainous terrain. Get a decent truck. I wouldn't recommend the xterra either. Technically it could but that's not what is designed for. Get the Ford F series though be ready to burn gas. Better to get a diesel.

Aunty Radu,

Good morning,My question goes thus, I have a 2010 Corolla I intend to tow with a Honda CR-V 2013 using u-haul tow dolly, from WV to NJ.(550 miles apart) U-haul said I can't tow it because the load will be too much for the CR-V especially as regards the breaking system and they can't be liable etc.
Besides the break issue, is there any other damage that might happen to the CR-V? E.g will it wreck the transmission/ engine if I go ahead with this.
Secondly am considering getting a F-150 for this occasional towing but it's a little bit pricy, do you think a Nissan Xterra can handle this considering it's an off road and it comes with an average of 3.5 liter engine.
Ps: WV, MD are mountainous areas so I will be ascending and descending hills on the trip.
Thank you
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Is This Job Invite Genuine? by sintin: 3:49pm On May 06, 2021
This is not genuine, there are two different address on this, the first one being Akobo and the other one being Anfani layout. It's like having a Lekki and Iyana-ipaja Address together. Anfani layout is around Challenge which you approach on getting to Ibadan from Lagos while the Akobo address is around bashorun which is on the average 1hour drive from the Anfani layout address. Whoever gave this conflicting address either Doe's know Ibadan or is up to a mischief as the address is quite disjointed.

Please has anyone here had cause to make a claim via taxify cover? If yes what was the experience like as am considering doing a full comprehensive insurance via taxify cover. Just want to find out if that they are reliable when it comes to making claims.
Thank you.

My insurance is expired and I want to renew. Before now I have been maintaining a comprehensive insurance package with another company and just doing the basic taxify cover to fulfil the requirements for taxify.
I am considering doing my comprehensive insurance via taxify cover instead of maintaining two different insurance.
Please has anyone made a claim via taxify cover and what has the experience been so far.
Thanks
Phones / Re: Woman Got Burnt As Gas Cylinder Explodes While Using Her Phone (Graphic photos) by sintin: 2:19pm On Aug 01, 2018
pawesome:
Please I need an explanation as to how a phone can cause an explosion because it's close to a gas and a lighter cant


In short, how them take know say Na immediately she pick call na him e explode

There was a leak which she wasn't aware of. When there is a gas leak, phone ringing, switching on the light, or switching on the cooker can lead to explosion as in this case, which is the reason why we are advised against using phones in the kitchen or gas Depot.
Travel / Re: Police Arrest Owner Of Tanker That Caused Otedola Bridge Fire by sintin: 7:09pm On Jul 27, 2018
dominique:
Was it the tanker owner that drove it? Not trying to be insensitive but this arrest makes no sense

The owner of a business is vicariously liable for the conduct of his employees to certain extent. When registering your business, the type of registration option you choose(sole proprietorship,limited liability etc) determines your liability when issues like this comes up. Lawyers in the house can explain furthermore.

Check out the link, it doesn't count when you move without a rider

Business / Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by sintin: 3:01am On Jul 21, 2018
The 12 hours stuff is based primarily on your driving time with a rider,not 12 hours with or without a rider,and by the time you do 12 hours with a rider in the car, most likely you have log in like 16 hrs on the road. It is safety check to minimise fatigue e.g(sleeping)while driving.
It's actually based on the Yankee pattern for Uber and all other taxis driving in Yankee. Guess Uber decided to effect this across board maybe due to many accidents due to driving fatigue.
