Good morning Nairalands

After my never ending fuel gulping battle with my Toyota Camry, I later ended up buying a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

I went with my mechanic to a car stand to get it, when we got there we saw different kinds/types of corolla. My mechanic told me some are 1.8l engine while others are 2.0l and a lot of the corolla uses venza engine.

I wanted to buy any of the corolla of 1.8L engine but my mechanic told me that they're old model, that I should get a recent corolla with Venza engine, but I refused when I heard the word "venza engine"

I told my mechanic that over my dead body will I jump from frying pan to fire, from Camry to Venza. I said so because since the corolla is using Venza engine, it'd surely gulp up fuel like Venza, which would be a lot worst than a camry.

But my mechanic assured me that what I said is very false, that it won't. That a corolla is a corolla and corollas doesn't eat fuel.

His words really calmed me down and I bought the 2012 corolla.

So I bought 8k fuel to test the fuel usage and see how long it'd last, I know I should have bought more, but I needed to get a faster result.

Well, it turns out that my mechanic tricked me and I'm in so much pains right now, my 8k fuel only went for 31km before the fuel got exhausted, I later realized that I was very much right and shouldn't have listened to my mechanic that a corolla is a corolla, venza engine or small 1.8L engine.

From my observation, it seems the 2012 corolla is gulping up fuel like a venza. Yesterday, I took it to a mechanic and asked them to fix anything that'd make the car to gulp up fuel, they changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, I will be testing it today with another 8k fuel, I pray and I hope that it won't be as bad as it was yesterday, because I'm so depressed right now, after what my camry did to me which made me went for a corolla, now I'm having same issue with my corolla. I'm really so down right now.

Let me help you out. I need to know how much you paid for a liter of fuel. Assuming 1k per liter that should have give you 8 liters which to me is 2 gallon,

Corolla 18L 4 cylinders fuel rate is 35 miles per gallon Highway and 28 miles per gallon city
Venza engine 4 cylinders 2.7L fuel rate is 30 miles highway and 22 miles city
Partner you getting 31 km (19 miles) for 2 gallons just doesn't make any sense to me. Unless the dispensing pump had been tampered with. Even GMC Yukon with 8 cylinders 5.7L engine still gives 16 miles of Highway and 10 miles of City. My advice to Nigerians is to try as much as possible to drive a car with a minimum of 2.4L engines that will help your transmission torque converter due to constant use of the car AC and high temperature. Nigeria weather is similar to Texas, and 80% of Texans drive V6-engine cars.

If you want freedom to display yer secessionist flag, get your house of rep member to make it legal to do so

Till then, the police will act and arrest you for doing something illegal

Forget tribe, and no, it does not mean I am happy when police ignore corrupt politicans and bandits....so don't go there.

MODIFIED

Personally , I believe in the right of secessionist groups to organize and raise their flags...it is the mark of a mature democracy to do so. But right now it is illegal to do so here...so it is better to use your right as a citizen to approach the NA and change the rules.

When an Hausa man says that it was their right to rule the country no problem, but someone displaying a flag that gives you a hard-on. Jeeze tell yaa no group or ethnic group likes the current way that country is made up more than the Northern people. The freaking least educated group of people ruing the country.

Tell yaa it has come to this when a Nollywood actress is now a mouthpiece on the country's economy. This shouldn't be a surprise when a country elects a single digits IQ individual as President

Newsmills:
Dangote is right in whatever he is doing,south-south needs artisanal refiners nobody should disturb them any longer

Don't you have one in P'Harcourt?

Damn and you are a woman?

Coolsperm:
They only people enjoying this Tinubus gvt is Yoruba Muslims

You gotta right. I am glad you said it correctly 'YORUBA MUSLIMS" Keep telling yaa the Nigeria problem had always been the Yoruba Muslims and people think I was going on a freaking deep end.

Neduzoma123456:
Money isn't safe then in most American banks...

How can someone miles away defraud a bank with cheap mail scams ...come on.

This man-made one simple error, he did the transaction using the internet. That was what brought the FBI into the matter. Interstate commerce fraud is the domain of the FBI. Had he committed the fraud within the state of North Dakota, then it would have been a state matter. Some states don't have the resources to investigate all the banking fraud within their jurisdiction, but the government of the USA, that is another matter partner.

omoredia:
Nigerians are criminals. That's why they support criminals as leaders.

I think you may be right.

hisexcellency34:
Bismarck company. Is that Bismarck Rewane

capital of North Dakota I think is Bismarck

IBB007:
Lol…holiday too plenty for this country sha

Goddamn, how many holidays does the Muslim religion have? I am just curious. Seem like there is one in every damn month. I think they just making sh*t up now, This country is becoming an Islamic Country

Dshocker:
Young man, the system doesn't work the way you think, reverse is the case.

Even if you found a man on top of your wife, the system will ask you to leave the house for her, even if you were the person that single handedly bought the house.

Not true. If the deed to the property only has your name, guess what you own the property. She gotta go and you will need to work out accommodations for her in case kids are involved, If no kids then all she has coming her way is spousal support if you make more money than her. Most women that gets married in USA always do a Quit Claim Deed on the property right after moving in with their husband to protect their interest in case sh*t happens. Mind you all pointers I just gave you varies from state to state. In California after 3 years of living together even if you are married, that is called joint community property. She is entitled to half. Laws in West Virginia, Utah, and Nevada favor men. Now you know why Mormons in Utah, and Nevada marries more than one woman. Also, I married my wife in Nevada, Las Vegas, and have been happily married for over 36 years. Though I live in Florida now. My wife is from Ijebu Igbo

DevilsEqual:
And the US want to throw in a woman into this mix

Jokers of the century

What's wrong with a woman? All she needs to be able to do is listen to the joint chiefs. All this show by both China and Russia is nothing. The Seventh and Sixth Fleet has more ships than their combined 450 ships. Did I mention both fleets have 50 attacked Submarines and 35 nuclear ballistics submarines each submarine carrying 30 Tomahawk missiles each missile with 12 independently targeted warhead. That is enough firepower to end all life on this earth 10 times over. That is just a partial list of what an 800 Billion dollars annual budget can get you.

Krankhead:
This is the same narrative of your is what is going to cost Trump the coming election in USA. Denigrating your country simply because your pathetic Obi lost woefully

Partner I don't give a rat a** if Trump loses the election. I am voting BLUE down my ballot. Regarding your Dead Man President FYI I am not an Igbo man so get that through your cement head. I am a Yoruba man from Ijebu Ode.

immortalcrown:
Sentiment aside, the mother was heartless, irrational and careless, no matter her desperation for money. Who is that adult that will leave an eight-year-old baby alone for 8 hours? Her jail term is too small.

Jeeze people stop passing judgment until you've walked in her shoes. Gotta be more to the story. She was doing her best where was the baby's father? Two people made the baby right?

What Is 200,000naira, Why Killing Over 200k

Going rate that is $120 just imagine . Goddamn a cheap thrill on the Vegas Strip will cost you $400 of the off the strip going rate is still $300

Alusiizizi:
Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is?

On this one regarding Trump getting more than half of the black votes? Hell Yeah.

Alusiizizi:
Actually, Trump won that election, that was the reason for that violent episode. Look at the big picture, the Liberals will do anything to stay in power, fixing elections, attempted assassination, false charges, you name it.

Oh, I forgot to mention one thing, for the first time in history, a Republican nominee is going to win the majority of the black vote. If that doesn't convince you that this Harris character doesn't stand a chance against Trump then nothing will.

Partner if Trump won the majority of the black votes, I will personally give you $1000. Trust me I can afford it. That ain't gonna happen

kestolove95:
My only prayer is that people from SadEast should not support Harris pls, we don't want her to loose this, they should support Trump

I am still trying to figure out this fascination that the Igbos have for Trump. This Trump guy is from Queens, New York he hates everybody that ain't white.

EvilMerodack:
One of the things I dont like to see is about to happen


A female American President .

OMG! I hate this

Partner just take 30 aspirins that will take care of all your headaches because I sense you going to be needing it. I have 6 votes under my roof that I cloth and feed and all the six votes are voting BLUE down their ballot to the dog catcher level. The country is freaking tired of all the REPUBLICAN's bull craps

CommonSense1967:
Story for the IPOB retards to console their miserable low lives. Continue clowns

How are you doing?

This brother was born in Mississippi in 1931, Wow !!!! and he made it out of that state alive. People if you think Nigeria is bad please try and go to the Mississippi Delta partner you will thank your God to still be in Nigeria. Mississippi and West Virginia are two of the worst states in the USA.

Krankhead:
Tinubu is your headsche

Okay, what is your headache? At least the man knew the source of his headache. You Dead Man Walking supporter never ceased to amaze me. You are all in the same mess with the rest of the population but you will still insist on going down with the sinking ship called Nigeria.

press9jatv:
Check out the pictures of Trump presidential campaign in Wisconsin State. Very massive here

All white no minority in the picture. That is the problem with the Republican party they are monolithic in their composition, all whites. America's demographic is changing and the Republicans refuse to change with it because of their base, which are elderly white people in the rural areas of America. Guess what happens to old people they all die off. 20 years ago whites made up to 74% of the voting population now that number is down to 57%. They are swimming upstream. Destiny is against them. By the way, this is exactly what is happening across the pond to the Tories in Great Britain.

viodemus:
He will still loose

Americans are more wise now. Even with Kamala Harris not being white, more whites will vote for her. She has more quality than trump. She warned illegal immigrants not to come to the USA, but trump adviced republicans not to vote for better immigration laws because he is not in power.


Everyone is tired of trump's immaturity.

Don't mind these Nigerians they don't understand the dynamics of the USA elections. Sure Trump is going to win 67% of the white votes but when all the dust has settled he still gonna lose the popular votes by over 10 million and electoral votes by 294 to 254. Mark my word the day Texas goes blue will mark the end of the Republican party ever winning the Presidency. The Republicans are on their last gasp demographic is all against them. Barak Obama was the first to open the door he won the presidency twice winning just 25% and 22% of the white votes It was the warning bell to the white people that things were changing

SpaceX:
I pray Trump gets elected. He is the right man for the job.

Keep praying but it ain't gonna win. I have 6 votes under my roof already that he ain't gonna get.

Gboom:
Ebiri a Yoruba name?
From which town or village?

Good question. Definitely not from Ijebu

SirJerrie:
If this is true, it's wrong and she could be charged to court if he takes up the matter.

If you know you'll not go, why collect TP?

Some people will call politicians dishonest and thieves but will support this

This is fraud!!!

She even called him "babe"... Meaning she has been fooling him for God-knows-how-long!

This is wrong...

Charged to court for what offense? There was no written agreement; the money was sent voluntarily. I see no offense here, but please do this only in Nigeria. On the south side of Chicago, this might get you smoked.

Lashbaba:
This is a fraudulent act and she will pay back in somewhat form. How is what I can't tell. Nothing is free this days.....

here is another believer who still subscribes to the Heaven and Hell narratives.

Holluwhakemmy:
That's a fraudulent act my sister

In Nigeria nope that is par for the course

MEEVEET:
Most people don't understand why USA allow their citizens to hold guns

1) so that no leader can ever be a dictator

2) there would never be a military coup in American

3) America can never be conquered... Even if you defeat the army there are 300 million army to fight


It also a guarantee that

Partner the second amendment was put into the constitution because at that time the USA was in constant war with the native Indians hence the phrase 'regulated Militia' was included. Now that we have killed off the native Indians, I mean when was the last time anyone has seen two native Indians in a McDonald's? It's Time to get rid of the Second Amendment or at least modify it. I used to be a dues-paying member of the National Rifle Association until 2020. I still have my guns but I don't mind background checks before buying a firearm.

ecolime:
Bill Gates again?

There is something this man is wants to achieve in Nigeria and Africa that we do not know yet.

All I know is it's definitely not something good.

STFU Do you in your wildest dream think there is something in that Nigeria that will interest Bill Gates? The man has a house in Seattle that covers an entire zip code.

Goodvibes007:
Cry all you want, iyalojas have been collecting levies for centuries before the formation of Nigeria. It's part of the culture. Same you are supporting IPOB/ESN sit at home in your region.


The Iyaoloja would collect the levy and nothing you IPOB can do about it. Worse case scenario, you will shout and call your IPOB and you would land in jail like the clown below.

Boy I do hope the Iyaloja is giving you a cut of the levy collected If not your freaking Black a** is getting yipe. It would be best if you demanded your cut. Tell yaa we Yorubas need to start thinking critically instead of following the herds. What are we benefiting from this so-called Messiah Tinubu? This is an equal opportunity oppressor administration. Wake up, People.
