Idaok007:
Do you advice one should go for VW as a first timer and Nigeria used?

Lai lai

Dogalmighty17:
I don't understand what the problem is. Na only you and your husband suppose dey chop church money?

Ask her if before the pastor opened the church in SA, if they gave him money to build a place. Imagine worshipping God in an eatery, a meeting place for fornicators. The money Adeboye gets from the proceeds of the church is more than what Tinubu is grabbing from the Nigerian resources.

MrMcJay:
He doesn't know. Leave am.

Our Saviour's Church, TBS.
Church of Assumption, Falomo.
Ikoyi Baptist Church

Ikoyi Baptist church is the home of Billionaires. The church is the number 1 in supporting the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Bowen University and has set up many churches across Nigeria. They opened a church in Maitama. They bought the land in hundreds of millions. They set up churches in ibadan, ogbomoso, Benin, Bayelsa, London and keffi street and lekki and many other cities. The churches are funded by the parent church and the pastors are being paid by the church in ikoyi. The then MD of Fidelity and First banks were ushers there. Tayo of Gtb was a staunch member before his demise. There's no tunnel of cash that ikoyi gives out the cash, it's from their members who gave out of their abundance. House on the rock has gone a long way from the muson centre to the cathedral. He should go the villages and preach and set up churches just like Paul in the Bible. If Billionaires give to the churches that they attend and the church is still not spreading the word across Nigeria, then they are all guilty of those Jesus told to depart from him because he knew them not.

erico2k2:
Well yeah but I figure I will still need to go one more round of flusing

ANy ways on the Ups side, I might need to buy a new chasis, ie just the whole body 2011 up, cos my chasis bent from that bloody accident with the container truck, do you know of anybody who has a dead RRS 2012

The one with the rotary gear knob? It's very sensitive to transfer the body but I will ask around

erico2k2:
Well my own has the filter attached to the sump of the gear box,I used up to 5 galloons of ATF and changed the Heat exchanger AkA coolr for a brand new one.

At least it's back to the road

bobo65:
Lol
That iyana Itire junction is their service center na

But VW have strong cars

They do have strong cars but...e get as e be

sinebaba:
All de Volkswagen mentioned here have used them without issue. Infact i still have 2013 vw cc bought toks in 2021

You are lucky. The only place where you will find VW in Lagos is in Itire and not on the road. The importer has left the country and abandoned the brand to Itire.

erico2k2:
Howmuch do you call a token
MyB you are confusing this with a Toyota
as per how water gets inside, well, that Gear box of these 8 speed has a heat exchanger for a cooler, with water from radiator running fru, once the fins in these get toasted, water mixes with the gear box fluids.This forms a tick creamy mixture like spoilt milk, the filter in these Gearbox are in built with the bottom plate, so you got to buy the whole bottom plate as you really cannot clean it.The you got to fight with the subframe to get it out and in.This Job takes the whole day!I must have recycled the gear oil with cheaper o ne from NNPC for at least 4 Gallons of 5 ltrs B4 I could refill with the original Oil I bought from Land Rover UK.Then re program the Gear box cos it has gone to limp mode.
Do you still think this is easy?

No, it's not easy because you don't do it all the time. The last one we did, we changed the cooler of the gear, the gear filter and used 2 set of atf like you did and cleaned the water can and entered the road from Abeokuta to Lagos at full speed. It took us 6 hours. The man begged us to come to Abeokuta instead of trucking it to lagos. That's the reason why we would have done it for you for a token

erico2k2:
Great all done car is moving smoonthly, Gear shifting, but Im still running with that cheap gear oil, 2nd group of using it, I done first cheap oil, ran the Engine drained it straight away, still creamy, so put 2nd group, driving around, will drain Saturday morning and see where we at.

Job that we will gladly do for a token, you are stressing yourself to do it. How did the gear mix with water? What is the type of engine oil do you use?

chuka25:
So what's the best plug for C240 ? I noticed my idling is rough in the morning but clears after like 1 km, also mpg is low

Give me the year model of the Mercedes Benz. You should also consider the coils

BigboyOJ:
Oh..you are quoting the Bible now when it suits you,the same Bible your Islamists claim is corrupted.. please I want you to also answer who fought along side Britain in it's war with Nazi Germany in WW2?

There's hardly a country that fought recently without it's supporters or allies in recent wars.
You have allies and form military alliances and pacts for times like this..it's a pity the allies of Iran like Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Houthis didn't raise a finger to help their oga and Russia and China whom they had been hobnobing with didn't do anything more than just give useless statements.

The British don't have any solid army. The Germans almost bombed them out of existence alongside France until they begged the US to come to their aid. If Israel had control of the Iranian skies, how come America came in to help them? There is this term used in war, international community. Was Nigeria involved in the war against Libya, Iraq? But the US made countries that refuse to send troops pay money by extortion and who is the beneficiary? The US. The contractors that came into Iraq were US companies. The Europeans have realised their folly of giving America their defence burden. Japan and Germany and Italy cannot go to war except America gives them the go ahead. These countries' armies are like Man o war, na uniformed estate gatemen. A case in point of how Europeans have sold themselves knowingly into bondage is an army that has Prince charles as an officer fighting against Argentina. It was the Americans that aided them codedly to save their face. France went to Vietnam to test themselves after the Germans defeated them and they lost and the US came in and they also lost woefully.
The war was a good distraction while it lasted, Beans is now cheap and chicken is 5500 a kilo.

Welcome2Lagos:
Hello Nairalanders,
‎
‎I took a short walk around Ikeja and snapped some unfiltered photos — covering Ikeja Along, parts of Computer Village, and Obafemi Awolowo Way. Just capturing the streets, the hustle, and the everyday vibe of the area.
‎
‎What’s your honest view about Ikeja these days?
‎Is Computer Village still the best place to buy gadgets, or has it lost its touch?
‎When was the last time you passed through Ikeja Along — and how was the experience?
‎If you could change anything about Ikeja, what would it be?
‎
‎Drop your thoughts. See the photos below 👇

That axis was built by roadside contractors. There is no sheltered bus stop. The trekking from Computer village to Ikeja Along bus stop is meant to train our leg pilots on how to navigate before they board buses and the rains will baptise them because there are no shelters for a major bus stop on both sides. then they gave a painter to mark the roads who created more confusion traffic than before inwards Connoil. The worst one is comimg from Medical Rd and turning right to climb the bridge and it is not possible and you are oblidged to go ahead and make a uturn at Oba Akran or Awolowo road but coming from Awolowo road, you can make a uturn and go back to Awolowo road. It is a full time confusion

I beg give me your number. I don look for you for a long time

ariesbull:
if the North can make the country better let the president move to the North and trust me it is turn of the igbo and the South South is also angry

I recall the era of Obj and the momentum with his reforms in telecoms and electricity and the economy and Yaradua came and dragged us backwards into 1900 and GEJ came in and turned the tides around and the West African region were gainfully engaged and then Buhari took us to the stone age and Tinubu with all his imperfections has given us electricity after the seeds Obj and GEJ sowed. 24 hours. Never in the history of Nigeria except in Jos will there be light.

anonimi:
So what is the gain of southerners now that ebilokan has run aground our country, 10 years after he got rid of Jonathan and replaced him with a clueless northerner

Otherwise can you mention just one thing that has changed since 2015 for better in our country.

I gave out my generator to the man fixing it as a gift. The gen mechanic is contemplating changing his hand work as no generator to repair as no one is using their generator anymore even in Agege. That's one of the gains

BigboyOJ:
Delusions and Islamist sympathizers are like 5&6.. you call Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear program unprovoked then a screw is loose in your brain🙆,so you would have preferred they stand aside and watch their arch enemy who threatens them day and night to wipe them of the map to acquire a nuclear weapon.

For your information no country fights alone in modern day warfare that's why it is pertinent you have allies,thats what allies are for.why do you think countries go though all the hustle having allies and joining military organizations and forging military pacts and partnerships?

If Israel had been bombing Iran indescriminately and not strategically like Iran was bombing Israel,Iran would have been like Gaza by the 3rd day.
its actually not surprising the Ayatollah was claiming victory even though it was plain to see even to Stevie wonder who the victors were after crawling out of the hole he was holes up in because it was exactly what Hamas did after the pummelling it got from Israel and begging for a ceasefire.🤣🤣🤣

Please let us know who fought alongside Britain against Argentina? If you don't know who's Iran, it is Persia which withstood the mighty Angel and in Ezra 1.2 whom was given all the kingdoms and was made to build a temple for the Lord God of heaven in Jerusalem. Maybe the prophecy is taking place now

stanluiz:
The same awaits those governors, senators and house of rep that are decamping to Apc. All of them will loose!

It's a South vs North battle. The presidency must remain in the South. That is why Wike is gallivanting everywhere. It was only him that came out that power must return to the South else the country would have run aground.

I did through Copart and the owners picked up the two cars in Lagos with 2 keys each. I never saw the cars physically until they drove it to me one in Lagos and the other in Abuja. It is still possible today.

Righteousness2:
Vanity upon Vanity! ALL IS VANITY!

Dont carry things of this life as do it die. What you are killing yourself for today is what will be used as Dust bin tommorrow


The only thing has Eternal value in this Life is the Genuie Salvation of your soul.
Every other thing does not Really matter.

All our automobiles, Architectural wonders, Degrees/ Educational accomplishments, Connections, Positions, Wealth, fame etc. None of this really matters. They have no Eternsl value.
We came Here Empty and will Leave Here Empty.

No one will carry his Building, business, position , wealth ,fame or degree to the other.

No one cares about about who you are, what you have and all that on that side.

The ONLY THING THAT MATTERS THERE IS IF YOU HAD A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST!
THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS ETERNAL VALUE.

PURSUE WHAT REALLY MATTERS. THE GENUIE SALVATION OF YOUR SOUL US WHAT REALLY MATTERS. ITS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

The Bible enjoined us to build houses, build vineyards and eat and drink and not forget the Lord for he gave us the power to do so. Forget about vanity and trust the Lord to give you the same. At the time the owner bought the car, there was no good suitable fuel neither good mechanics with the knowledge of the car even today VW is no longer in Nigeria. At the time he probably brought it to Nigeria, Nigerians were taking their BMW out to Germany for routine service. If it was a Toyota, it would have been demolished but..

The reason why the Op was not taken serious was because he is selling like the typical na long or tiny plug parts sellers. Every car has a plug number. The fact that a Mercedes plug is star does not mean that they are all the same thing for all Mercedes. In 2008, I once bought a star plug for my E240 Mercedes at Ojuelegba and I was given a so called a so called original Star plug. Then the Internet was still archaic as there were no smartphone, I took the number of the plug and went home and checked my plug manual and it showed the Star plug was for A140 Mercedes AClass. A 140 plug on an E240 12 plugs car. Disaster averted. A range rover sports supercharged does not use the same plug number as the Hse. That should be the goal if anyone is buying spark plugs for any car hence used plug is a no go area

Ignorance is the problem. Even Toyota Dealers use 20w50 oils and many of other car manufacturers do the same thing. They claim that our weather is too hot for 5w30 oils and I asked one recently what do they use in florida that is as hot like our weather? No answer. All cars sold by our franchised dealerships are not meant to last long. 4 years maximum. On the cap to the oil chamber, you will never see the recommended oil to use. Check the US specs of the same car especially Toyota and Honda, they will put Gasoline engine only with the starbust logo. Only mobil oil has upgraded the 20w50 oil to Api SN but the question is for which car? No oil sold in Nigeria meets the requirements of the Toyota Corolla 2005 which requires Api Sl or SN only and not the SN/CF that is prevalent everywhere. If you also go on Jumia, you will find Mobil 1 and Castrol extended performance sold for 30k and 80k. Same gallon make and it is destroying engines everywhere. We are lucky to have good demolition companies that squeeze the life out of the cars in 20 minutes so that the car will never remember that it was once in Nigeria.

BlackViper:
This comes just days after veteran Nollywood actor Ganiu Nafiu, popularly known as Alapini, and actress Bukky Adekogbe Raji, also known as Aminatu Papapa, expressed deep regret for supporting President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential campaign.

But Tinubu lost woefully in Lagos. What is the essence of the campaign if they failed to win Lagos votes?

I recall in the 90s in Switzerland that Ericsson highest phone was sold equivalent of 1500 dollars while Nokia 1220 series was sold for 1200 dollars. No camera, only SMS and calls. Samsung was one the upcoming phones then. Everyone has its season. If Naira was steady, Iphone 16 would have been less than 300k

F117nighthawk:
And if Israel had been throwing missiles or bombing Iran indiscriminately the way Iran had been throwing it's ballistic missiles into civilian areas,what would have also been left of Iran,as they are defenseless and do not have any anti aircraft or anti missile systems?
There is a difference between a Smart, intelligent and focused robust military than a military and a regime who basically just depends on firing ballistic missiles without good intelligence and Air Force campaign, Israel any day has the capacity to cripple Iran military,you also saw how they destroyed all proxies linked to Iran



uote author=God1000 post=135920285]Iran has already proven to the entire world what they're made of, they should just leave the unhinged guy in the oval office, Israel would have been reduced to rubble if it wasn't for USA, a country that cannot fight on their own cannot claim to be powerful

As we've seen so far, Such unprovoked attack will only solidify nationalism and national unity among the Iranian people

If Israel had the upper edge, then it would be futile to bring American into the war. They used the stealth war planes on Iraq and all services were up and running. They were found to be dropping the bombs into the sea until Ross Perot asked the question, where did 88000 tonnes of bombs go to?

iwaeda:
Nlfpmod, this man spent just four months as governor, but later became Minister of Communications under OBJ.

He was the minister of works until may 2007. The best minister of works after Anenih.

Moniter0:
but he is doing the right thing.

Israel is not after the Civilians in Iran but for the disarmament of Terrorists who chant "death to Israel" and "death to America" which indicates what they'll do if they get weapons of mass destruction.. they believe a religious lie that if they destroy Israel and America it will usher in some kind of religious figure.

As a Christian and a Pastor, he should not support Tērrorists to destroy people.

As for you, you should be cautioning your brothers gloating over how Iran is firing missiles at Civilians. Am sure they would have been screaming "gēnocide" if Israel was the one firing missiles indiscriminately at civilians.

Please quote Ezra chapter 1 from verse 2

ChristCee:
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Soon you will be crying ge**nocide in Iran here and free iran. We are waiting peacefully and quetly. All top generals gone, Khamenei rumoured gone, over 350 casualties in Iran and 1500 wounded, Hezbollah, Houthies, Hamas, Syria rebels all decimated and you are still here dreaming of a win?

How little can human brain cells be? 🤣🤣



🔹 Nuclear Edge:
Israel is a nuclear power with over 80 warheads (Stockholm Int’l Peace Research Institute), while Iran and Nigeria have zero. Even Iran’s ex-president Rafsanjani admitted Israel’s nukes could crush the Muslim world’s strategy.

🔹 Military Tech:
Israel builds missile defense systems (Iron Dome, Arrow), spy satellites, and combat drones used globally. Iran still buys parts from China. Nigeria relies on foreign help to fight Boko Haram.

🔹 Economic Power:
Israel’s GDP per capita is $55,000+, vs. Iran’s ~$3,800 and Nigeria’s ~$2,400. Israel’s tech exports alone outmatch Nigeria and Iran’s total export value.

🔹 Startup Superpower:
More startups per capita than any country. Google, Intel, and Apple have R& centers in Israel—not in Nigeria or Iran.

🔹 Respected by Enemies:
Iranian generals openly fear Israeli strikes. Nigeria’s government has repeatedly sought Israeli help in counter-terrorism and agriculture.


Tiny Israel = Nuclear, Tech, and Economic giant.
Iran + Nigeria = Oil-dependent, struggling economies.
Even their own leaders admit it. Facts don’t lie.

How much does America spend on Israel? Military, technology and all facets of life. The Iron Dome which has failed because the US deceived them of its capability to stop missiles. It was not tested and now it's being seen as good for nothing

SarkinYarki:
Be like death dey call this man, if he allows American B52s take to the sky he won't survive it , those B52s have not seen action for more than 10 years and are eager to test their new ability to fire cruise missiles

88000 tonnes of bombs landed on Iraq and Nepa nor take light, Taxis dey pick passengers and Baghdad was not destroyed. Which B52 bombers go enter Iran when bombs dey stroll into tel aviv? The Air Dome owner yansh don expose. Catapult and knock out banger dey waka pass

lecowas:
The defense systems are still there, just that hypersonic missiles are nearly unstoppable, but it's funny how you think Iran will win a war just shooting randomly from thousands of miles away.

Isreal are refueling over Iranian airspace because they have to work extra time to seek those launchers, and the result is already showing, they aren't firing 200 missiles at once according to the initial plan.

Iran will capitulate this week and will have a new king. There is only one Supreme Leader in the world and that's not Ayatollah

na only catapult and knock out banger naim the Iron dome dey stop now. Netanyahu deceived his people about the iron dome and was embarrassed on Sunday when he saw the buildings that were destroyed. American will suffer loss just like they did in Iraq.

Christmyhope:
When happenings such as d one occurring in Israel, God's own nation. This reminds us Christians all over the world that Christ coming is nearer than ever. We also know that no nation can erase Israel from the world map because the land, they occupy presently was promised to their ancestors and no one can take it from them.

Is that land flowing with milk and honey? Does the land drinks the rain from heaven? The promised land is not to be irrigated. Go and search for it

cardoctor:
Be prepared for engine brainbox issues, misfire caused by faulty ignition coils, ac compressor and cooling malfunctions from electrical issues. Very expensive to maintain. Avoid Nigeria used .

What is the cause of faulty ignition coil? All cars using premium fuel has the fault because even Dangote fuel cannot power these cars
