Can any dealer in the house link me up with a Toyota RAV4 '96 Model with 2doors.(Tokumbor or fairly used).

This is just a means of reducing over-head cost so as to ensure profitability. Believe me this is a right step in the right direction. Atleast depositors and investors' money will not be used to pay some of those proud for nothing and extravagant bankers salaries.

@Freshwater,

What specie of fingerlings do you have? How reliable are they? Can you supply to a Customer in Benin-City?

, it's just that I am just waiting for these 2008,2009 & 2010 cars to lose some market value so I can go for say a 3-4 yrs old Toyota or Honda product.

@BIZBOOKS,

You seem to always display quality cars.

I hope I'll be able to reach you when I want my next ride?

I was enrolled into pry. sch @ exactly age 6

I wrote my sec. sch. entrance exams @ age 12(6 yrs in pry sch.)

I wrote my SSCE/GCE @ age 18(6yrs in sec. sch.)

There was no Jamb in 1996 when I wrote WAEC So I wrote JAMB '97 @ age 19

I gained admission into the University @ age 20.

I graduated from the University @ age 25 1/2(ASUU & FG stole 1.5yrs of my life!)

I Went for Service the month I turned age 26.

I completed Service @ 27yrs.

I ENTERED THE LABOUR MARKET @ 27YRS WITHOUT FAILING ANY EXAMS IN MY LIFE NOT EVEN A CARRY-OVER IN THE UNIVERSITY!!!

I was heart broken when Some Banks and auditing firms and co were peging age @ 24-26yrs.

Thank God I never gave up .I currently work with an Oil major- a job I got when I was 28 1/2yrs old.
Prior to that I got a job with an indigenous oil servicing firm @ age 27yrs 3months(3 months after NYSC).

So if you are affected by the age thing don't worry and keep trying. Your job will meet you some day *In as much as you have a good result.*

60-40% !!!

It has been observed in so many families, mine inclusive, that mothers would always want to protect the interest of their first son more than they would do for the other children.And conversely fathers can kill anybody to protect their daughters particular first daughter.



Please my poeple what do you think is responsible for this Mother-son and Father-daughter relationships

bimmyd2000:
My Analysis of a good salary is this

Needs Salary Monthly(divided by 12 months)
3 bedroom flat (cheapest) - N200,000 N17,000
Transportation (far distance 700 per day) N17,000
Meal (250 per day) N6,000
Feeding for the family N25,000
School Fees average of 30k per child x 4kids
(120,000 per term) N40,000
Medical N10,000
Miscellaneous N10,000
Clothing N10,000

TOTAL N135,000

This is the average salary that a Nigerian should be paid after tax and this money it self is not enough but can be managed by a family with stigent budget but anything less than this amount is killing in the next few weeks fuel price will increase, market women will increase the price of food stuffs, transport will be increased, so where do we go from here.

@bimmyd2000, where will you put costs like:-
GSM recharge cards,
Electricity bill,
Cost of fueling your generator
Church donations(u knw God loves a cheerful giver)
Won't you send money to ur parents, probably siblings and inlaw(s)?
Let us even asume that you don't have a car cos where will fueling and maitenance cost come in?
And you have left out some thing- SAVINGS!!
And you will also aspire to buy your own land and build ur house.

Can you see that a person that earns 135k/months with that ur budget cannot survive?

LOOK AT THIS COMPARISON

My generation                                               Today
-1) We watched TV only from 5pm daily       They watch TV 24hrs no thanks to private stations,DSTV and co
-2) We spent 0 time on the internet            They spend hours on the internet
-3) We never watched Live premiership      They spend hours on sat, sun and mon watching Premiership games
    games
-4) We never watched Champions/              They spend hours on tue, wed and thu watching Champions/Europa
     Europa League games                            league games
-5) GSM: We never made mid-night calls     After watching TV for hours of the day they make mid-night call for hours
-6) We were more creative with toys           They never make their own toys instead it's computer games
     that develop the brain.
-7)The average age for a WAEC candidate   The average age for WAEC candidate is 15yrs(immaturity)
    18yrs(maturity)

PUTTING POINTS 1 TO 6 TOGETHER IT'S OBVIOUSE THAT WE HAD MORE TIME FOR OUR BOOKS IN MY GENERATION.
YOU YOUTH'S OF TODAY SHOULD LEARN TO READ YOUR BOOKS. THAT IS THE WAY OUT OF YOUR FAILURES!!!!

Thanks all for the advice. Infact a colleague of mine just bought a 2000model Sienna and it is a jewel to behold especially the interior. Then come to think of what the more recent models would be like. I think I am going the Sienna way, Quest is too low for my liking and Odyssey does not have strong body parts and also the gear box problem 'Kunle -A' just mentioned.

BizBooks:
@ Syenite,

It appears you drive a Honda Accord (Baby Boy) according to your statment in the Post below. Now how can a Baby Boy have 13,000 kilometers or miles. Please explain.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=385879

@Poster, I did not say my odometer is currently reading 13000 miles. When I bought my baby boy 2yrs ago my odometer was reading 162,700miles it just crossed into 176,000miles. It is the difference that makes 13000+. It's not as if I travel to Lagos or Ibadan every day. I've travelled Benin to Lagos and fro once , then also Benin to Ibadan to Osogbo back to Ibadan down to Lagos and back to Benin. I've also visited with the car places like Warri 2ce, Agbo, Abraka, Asaba. Coupled with these I drive to work and other places. I can tell you that there's nothing wrong with my odometer.
Not that I am trying to spoil market for you. I am only curious that a 2010 Car has that mileage.

tedanne:
the non response tire me oooooooooooo.abi the guy go sabatica?
OGA.PLS WE DEY WAIT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You have to be patient and wait for him. He went to look for Toyota Camry(slim light) that cost 400k,Honda bullet that cost 350k, golf 3 that cost 250k. Una think say na beans to ride good cars?

But how come the mileage of a 2010 car is 15,554 just 2months into the year? I have been driving my current car for almost every day(to work, market, church etc) and at times long trips(Benin to Lagos and fro, Benin to Ibadan and fro, Benin to Warri and fro etc) for 2years now and I have used only 13,000+? Or is it possible for a 2010 car to be in use since 2008 or so?

Yes, you need a registration with the DPR, and Corparate Affairs Commision and then a clearance from the NNPC.

@opes please send the e-book to me as well. My e-mail: peter2nwogu@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Any one knows where to get fingerlings in Benin-City or neighbouring towns eg Sapele, Warri, Agbor etc?
Please call Peter on 08053055767.

Please any one knows any where in Benin-City or Warri where I can get Catfish fingerlings and Fish feed for my proposed Fish Farm to be sited in Benin-City. Urgent please.

Kobojunkie:
Now I am befuddled . . . . I mean what is the connection between this




and this . . . .

Or is this yet another attempt to EXCUSE the issue being discussed yet again? Roflmao!!!

@ Kobojunkie, I am surprised at your stand on this issue. Nigeria does not need people like you.

Still waiting,

LOL! My brother oil is not measured in metric tons or do you mean gas?. And how much did you say it is? #26-3 per what?
By the way who gave you the authority to sell crude. I have copied those numbers you unwisely displayed. Expect the law enforcement agents at your door-steps soon.

My family is growing coupled with visits by family members,inlaws and family friends. There are times when I over-load my Honda accord( baby boy). I live in Benin-City where we have the worst roads in Nigeria. Pot holes are my night-mares mostly when it rains. At times when the car is over-loaded the car scratches the ground severally and I always feel bad about it.
I need a 7 or an 8 persenger car. I find the three cars above listed suitable.
Please I need advice from car experts in the house.Which would be better considering the need and environment in which I drive?
I'll prefer the 2006-2009 models of these cars.

I love Sienna. My next car would be either Nissan Quest, Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna. They are family cars.Very roomer and prestigeous.

Ojame:
Ain't nutin wrong with having different bedrooms. Infact, it keeps romance alive when u visit each other wid 'gifts'. Remember how it used to be when u were courtin? Passions ran high, gist was sweeter on each visit! I recommend it!

Quiet a romantic fairy tale, just like what you see in movies right. It means you'll spend all your life earnings buying gifts.Wake-up my friend!!

Wrex:
I don't really support it.I prefer having my own room to myself because i am a kind of person that needs privacy all the time.

Sorry to disappoint you boy.As soon as u get married you've lost that privacy.

@ Poster, if the topic you raised is actually what's in your mind then future brides should be ready for hard times ahead.

Confirmation now has it that Nigeria plays Zambia.
Better peering for Nigeria. I dread the Camerounians at any level in football

Cameroon, Zambia and Gabon all have 4 points and no goal advantage. Cameroon has head to head over Zambia, Zambia has head to head over Gabon, and Gabon has head to head over Cameroon. At this point, no team can have the advantage so we now go to goal difference.

Cameroon and Zambia both has scored 5 goals and conceded 5 while Gabon has scored only 2 and conceded 2. So, Cameroon and Zambia has the advantage for scoring more goals.

Now between the two teams, who is the leader of the group? We now go back to head to head. Now, you know that Cameroon won Zambia. So Cameroon heads the group on that.

Its complicated and requires some calculation and reasoning and after explaining this, those who do not reason and who have a lot of sentiments will understand.

I know many people wished Cameroon to be out but either of the rules; head to head or goal difference, they will lead the group.

CAF DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

When you tell a Nigerian " Hey! Your House is dirty. Clean it up" he immediately tells you " Why are you disturbing me? Look at that house , and that other house. They are as dirty as mine".

[So if your father's house is dirty and you need to clean up you will go into the streets and start making mokery of your father's house and displaying the pictures before the world. You don't know how far these images go. Nigerians should learn to respect this country. Are we the poorest in the world?

@poster you should be ashamed of yourself. Where on earth aren't there truck pushers, beggers and homeless. It is people like you that give our country a very ugly image. Tomorow you'll complain that other nationals don't regard us. Infact this is a trismnable offence and u should be arrested.
