Too small.

At 3.7v that's just 32.56wh and most routers draw 12w, so less than three hours backup time.
It lasts 7 hours

This was installed on monday but was activated on tuesday.
Around 1am yestday, internet went off, i put it off and on, but nothing. I also thought it was cos of the hotness of the router.

If the vehicle has been scanned and they have told you what you need to do, I'll advise you do that soon. Throttle body is a very important component of a car and if it's faulty, it will lead to other related issues like knocking sound, high fuel consumption, wrong air/fuel mixture etc.

If you are in Lagos and you can spare time to visit Willoughby Street in Oyingbo, they have more reliable parts for Honda cars than ladipo. You can search for luvinhubby here on nairaland and contact him for anything you need, he's 100% reliable.

I hope this helps.
Thank you very much boss, I appreciate. will fix the throttle body today first and go to oyingbo as you suggested to fix the rest when I have chance

Only someone who has done same conversion can give you accurate information on this.

Get the mechanic to give you a list of things that will be needed, then you can go to Oyingbo if you're in Lagos to confirm prices yourself. I think this is the best bet for you.

Also remember that with the current situation of Nigeria, the longer you wait to fix/buy something, the higher the prices increases.
please do you have the number of any reliable dealer at oyingbo

i start acura mdx 2011 and the accerleration point is raised above 1, the car making louder noise than usual and I cant accelerate, i have to put off the car ad start it again and it starts working normal but this happpens every other day and not pleasant. i scanned the car and they said I should change the throttle body and rocker arm but the price I'm seeing is ridiculous.

please who knows any dealer in ladipo to get the best prices for quality? they are still other parts to buy like steering rack and pump, lower arm and shocks.

First, I want to say a big thank you to the creator of this forum. I’ve been looking for something like this for years—nice one!

I own my first Honda car, an LX Accord 2013, which I bought as a Nigerian-used vehicle in December 2022. I got it at a very good deal at the time, but deep down, I knew things don’t come that cheap. I was prepared for whatever issues came up! 😄

A week after purchase, the problems started. First, there was oil leakage from the engine, followed by the engine struggling to generate enough power to climb hills. Then, the check engine light and other warning lights popped up—my dashboard was like a Christmas tree! 😅 Upon inspection, the engine was opened up, and it was packed with oil sludge! There were so many issues: the oil pump was faulty, there were piston problems, and more. I decided to replace the engine entirely, and honestly, that was the best decision I made!

After that, I decided to upgrade the look of the car. I transformed it into a 2015 Honda Accord Touring model and replaced the seats with leather. I also installed four brand-new tires, replaced the vapor canister (to resolve the persistent check engine light), changed the spark plugs, brake pads, and steering rack.

To be honest, I didn’t do all the repairs and upgrades at once. It took me about four months to complete everything, costing around ₦1.5m to ₦1.7m in total. But mehn! I fell in love with the car! Money well spent!

Since April 2023, I haven’t had a single check engine light come on. I service the car religiously when the oil life percentage reaches 15%. Maintenance-wise, I always use full synthetic foreign engine oil. For coolant, I stick to the original Honda Long Life Coolant Type 2. I’m very cautious about what goes into the engine—engine don cost oo! 😅

Regarding fuel consumption, I always refill the tank when it gets to half. I’ve never let it go below that point—it’s easier and costs less that way. On average, I get around 170 to 190 miles from a full tank to half. It costs me about ₦35k to ₦40k to fill it up from half.

Currently, I’m planning to get a Honda CR-V EX-L 2018. 😁

Before I forget, a big shout-out to my mechanic, Alhaji Muri! He’s the most honest and respectful mechanic I’ve ever worked with. He’s especially good with electrical issues and has plenty of diagnostic tools to tackle any problem. Another shout-out to My Parts Nigeria, where I get my engine oil, filters, coolant, and other parts—they sell genuine products imported from the USA.
how do u check the oil % in acura mdx?

TravelRe: My International Passport Renewal Experience – How Long Did Yours Take? by Thane(m): 11:48am On Apr 26, 2025
Spark2:
Two weeks ago, I attempted to renew my international passport using the Nigeria Immigration Service's DIY (self-service) platform. Unfortunately, the system couldn't capture my passport photograph for some reason.

A few days later, I decided to visit the immigration office in Jos to complete the process in person. To my surprise, I was told that the 32-page, 5-year passport would cost ₦75,000, even though I was aware that the official fee online is ₦50,000.

Frustrated, I returned home. Fortunately, I later managed to successfully upload my passport photograph on the DIY platform, and the system processed my application. I paid ₦50,500 online and was scheduled for biometric capture on February 3rd.

On the scheduled date, I went to the immigration office, where I was attended to promptly. However, I was asked to pay an additional ₦3,000 for processing, which I did.

To my surprise, I received a call today, February 12th, to pick up my new passport—just 9 days after my capture!

I've heard many people say it took them months to get their renewed passports. So, I'm curious—how long did it take for you to get yours? Share your experience!
1. I want to renew my passport online but its expiring in july, what should i choose as reason?
2. Also i want to pay for 10 years, 100k online, im choosing ikoyi office lagos, is this advisable?
3. about the picture issue you talked about, i reset my picture to 600x800 with a tool online but after i uploaded in the "Test Photo Upload" page, i got this " ICAO Compliance Issue(s)
Image needs to be taken under proper light."

thats the test photo page, not the main application page.

I drove an Acura TSX. 4 plug engine.
Filled my tank in Ojo Lagos.
By asaba, I was a little below half tank. Bought another 30k worth of fuel which took me to my villa in imo state. That one tank I bought in Lagos could have taken me to the villa but I would be low on fuel. I drove that extra fuel I bought for over a week in the villa before buying fuel again.
Thank you,

I bought full tank from lagos to anambra, bought another full tank to run around for a week, then another full tank from asaba to lagos, it's still remaining and I can drive to mainland and bk.

I wouldn't encourage you to buy it because it's cheap especially for a 1st time user.
I'd rather encourage you buy any popular brand with enough mechanic and parts support available in your area until you're comfortable with owning a car (enough hands-on experience) then you can switch to any brand you fancy.
But please go for prepurchase inspection with a qualified technician regardless of what you choose eventually.
Thank you very much sir

Car TalkRe: My Experience Hunting For A Nigerian Used Car With A Budget Of 4.5M by Thane(m): 10:05pm On Feb 16, 2025
Brilliant007:
I step out of Lagos searching for a reliable camry 2004. I saw many dealers on Jiji and nairaland. I visited each of them with my reliable mechanic.
After checking several cars, we discovered that none of the Nigerian used cars is worth buying .
They always have one problem or the other. The most common is bad engines.

Many dealers even promised to give my mechanic 100k behind my back to convince me to buy this melon car.

It's crazy that with 4.5 million, all you can get is a bad car.
We return home disappointed.

On getting home. I went back to check my own car that I have been driving for 5 years. My engine, gear, and ac are still in perfect condition and I wonder if those putting their car on sale are those with major problem.

Nigeria dealers have ruined the used car market.
Is this a problem with toyota or because the car is a lower year.

I didn't consider other brands. Maybe it would have been a different situation.

At the moment, we are considering buying Tokunbo direct or on installment payment in order to evade this madness in the Nigerian used car Market
It's just terrible. I wasted time and inspection fee on 2 scrap cars, I just decided to hold on and add a little bit money. It's just ridiculous that owner will keep car for 6m for 2009 mdx, dealer will say 10m, extra 4m. That was the only reasonable car I saw but I left it after finding out the evil dealer did.
