Contentment. Aka Don't Be Greedy.


From Alawiye Google.

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty”



“Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase”
“We may pass violets looking for roses. We may pass contentment looking for victory.”

Thats a fair point.
One other issue with the MDX is the recommended premium fuel requirements.
I think Nigerian fuels would have an octane rating similar to American regular 87 or so.
Premium is 91. I've heard about certain fuel additives but I need to be clarified on that.
How will this affect the MDX engine performance and longevity in Nigeria?

I am not really sure how this will affect its performance. I must say Nigerian fuel will pose a problem. I will opt  for Honda Pilot in Nigeria and I cannot drive anything luxury in Nigeria except a regular Mid Size SUV.

My car stopped on a freeway 2 weeks ago. The engine switch off when I was speeding and I had to pack. I towed it to the dealer and they fixed it. When I asked what happened to it, I was told it was a fly that entered the air filter and the car's computer shut down when it sensed there is something in it.
I payed nothing, even for towing (I have manufacturer's warranty).

If i don't have the warranty, it will cost just $100.

Tell me, If it is a dealer in Nigeria, you could pay 50,000 naira to remove a fly from a regular car. If it is a luxury car, it could be 100,000 to remove a fly.

An average SUV that can easily be repaired is the best bet.

Nigerian police dey follow person go cash money for ATM now.

Hello Chairman,

Thanks

Pls, go for MDX. It is cheaper to maintain compared with the others you listed. See, cost of maintenance is the king when it comes to auto.

A friend driving Benz in Nigeria was told to register is Benz for 200,000 and the repair cost of what is troubling the Benz is 400,000. That will be 600,000. When I even priced the component in the US for him from Benz Dealers, it was $1,400.

HELLO Devonian:

Listen to what everyone on this blog is telling you. No information is useless. Suggesting that you need advice from from "professionals only" is ignorance and arrogance. Try as much as possible to get as much information as possible from everybody here. As I said "NO INFORMATION USELESS."

HERE IS MY STORY: I will make it short. I had my high honour bachelor degree in one of the best (in Africa) universities in western Nigeria. Due to hardship, I immigrated to the US. I worked hard, earned graduate degrees and fellowships from a US top university (globally known and respected). I had the desire to go back home to contribute and to be with my loved ones (extended family). They also urged me to come back and settle that everything will be fine. Last year, I took an unpaid leave from my job and traveled to Nigeria with my credentials (degrees and scholarly publications, etc). When I arrive, There were scheduled meetings the Dean of the Faculty to discuss my credentials and hiring. All the scheduled failed because the Dean canceled all planned meeting (for some unforeseen circumstances). Now, a lecturer I met at the faculty advised me to contact the Vice Chancellor V.C. (Head of the University). The lecture believes that with my OUTSTANDING qualifications the V.C. would intervene. However, nothing happened. The V.C. office cancelled my two sheduled meetings with the VC. THIS IS VERY SAD. NOT FOR ME. THIS IS VERY SAD FOR NIGERIA AND AFRICA. AFRICAN TALENTS ARE HELPING IN ADVANCING THE DEVELOPED WORLD.

I returned to U.S. continue with my old job. Making my dollars and living out my American Dream.
THANK YOU JESUS
GOD BLESS AMERICA

IN USA - life is hard. But if you work hard, you will succeed. While there is always racial discrimination, Employers are looking to employ hard working and dedicated people. Therefore, if you are qualified, and show you are a dedicated individual you will be hired.


GOD BLESS AMERICA. I don't feel homesick any more. I call my loved ones regularly, and have easy access to buy and eat Nigeria food.

IS AFRICA CURSED.

No, we are just backward.

I am moving back by this December. I am setting up a company and everything is on ground now.
While I am there hustling, my wife will not go with me. I have prepared my mind for Dusts, Generator's noise, Do You Know Who I am and all the packages that come with Lagos. At least i was hustling before i left and it is still in my DNA.

I have done a 1 month trial last year but i failed to experience any hardship due to the generosity of people around me.

It is going to be OYO (On Your Own) this time around.

As part of my preparation, everything to live a comfortable life is on ground.

Also, it is going to be 3 months in Nigeria, 2 Months off.(I will never put all my eggs in one basket.)

It is going to be difficult but there is more Money in Naija than Abroad - True Talk
