Car TalkRe: Plz Your Candid Advice Is Needed by thonyman: 8:23pm On Sep 18, 2020
With your budget of 800k for 2005 models upward, na trouble you dey find.
You will soon start suspecting possible family members bewitching you.
The probability of you buying a lemon is high.
You had better stick to a neatly used 2001 Camry so that your subsequent income will be for other projects.

My brother, if carbon wants to deposit in engine, I ll leave it to deposit. It is more important to ensure there is life to buy another car/engine without carbon deposit. My 120km/hr max is super. I may even buy speed limiter is devil wants to tempt me.
Life is sweet!

Lol chill, it's not that deep.
If you check the thread on that car Gazzuzz was driving, he had just bought it and was bringing it down to Lagos for some work, its ABS wasn't even functioning yet he could push it that far with plenty backfiring grin that's how Benz do.
Besides my car is in great shape and I always have a check done before I travel, I easily do 160 on it normally so 220 should be a breeze on a good stretch of road. Note also that the idea is to burn carbon deposits, I'm not going to maintain that speed throughout my trip, 30minutes should be just fine, so will I.
There will be no swinging low, Shalom
Jobs/VacanciesRe: I'm In Dilemma Over A Job Offer. I Urgently Need An Advice by thonyman: 11:24am On Sep 18, 2020
Don't loose your vision for quick relief, stick to it. Somewhere, someday, it will come to pass.
Adonis86:
I graduated from the university seven years ago. After my youth service, I went back to my school for a postgraduate program. It took me four years to complete the program due to death of my supervisor and ASUU strikes.

But in between the four years, my hod called and ask me what I do. When she learnt I was unemployed, she asked me to come over to the department and start working as a casual staff for 20k salary. I had to accept since she needed someone skillful in MS office computer packages, beside I have done a lot of odd jobs before then which couldn't feed me let alone paid my rents and school fees.

Then, last year while doing the job, the university commenced recruitment which was very massive, but underground. God being so faithful, I was able to graduate from the masters program at the time and she kept promising to help me push my cv for employment. I came out as the best postgraduate student in my department with the highest FCGPA.

Brethren, do you know what has happening from then till now? Vested Status interest.
Since then till now, my application has been going one step forward two steps backward. She minuted on the first one last December. It got to the faculty, the Dean minuted and sent it out after much pressure from me, minutes later she ordered the application to be returned and that was all I heard about it. But she pushed her son's application and he was employed as well as our Hod's. She pushed her daughter's and her husband's niece, they both got while she kept lamenting that she's confused on how to go about mine, stating she has ran out of idea on how to go about it.

This afternoon, she called to inform me that, the university wants names of all the ad-hoc staff in all the departments for immediate employment as junior staff. She was asking me if I'm interested in the offer since I'm currently a PhD student and the job should be for ssce or fslc holders...

She said if I should accept the offer that it might terminate my chances of getting a teaching job, which I've been applying.

Please, what should I reply her?

Car TalkRe: One Week Old Tokumbo Car With Engine Problem Please Help by thonyman: 8:26am On Sep 13, 2020
Nairaland car talk section has educated many of us, I believe you are new and have not been using this section, avid users of the auto section won't make such expensive mistake.
Gazzuzz and co are there to assist with inspection at just a token charge when compared to what you will spent on repairs of this type of lemon purchase.
I really feel for you, but don't feel too bad, it happens like that sometimes. It could have been worse.

Doslop:
I saw a Hyundai Sonata 2012 online and I liked the car so I called the seller and arranged for someone I know who is a driver he drives from Warri where I reside to Lagos every day so I told him to help me check out the car, since he’s a driver he should know about cars. So he got there checked the car and told me it is a perfect car that I should pay so I paid and he brought it to me.
When the car got home I started it and immediately I told him I don’t like the sound of the engine that it is too loud and he said it is fine I shouldn’t worry that’s how the car is.
When I drove it I discovered all the bearings on four legs were bad so I changed them the next day, and did lots of maintenance on it.
Fast forward exactly one week later which is yesterday I started hearing a metallic sound from the engine while I was driving so I quickly rushed to park the car. On calling a mechanic this morning he said the it is crankshaft and connecting rod noise that they have to dismantle the engine and change them or he’ll advise me to buy a new engine that if they repair the one on it it wouldn’t last at all.
I am here regretting my life who sent me to buy this car!

bro pls can i Whatsapp you concerning this arbitrage makers
Arbitrage games trading no longer profitable for close to 2 months now, you can hardly see errors from them as arbitrage gaming means feeding on bookmakers errors , i have stopped trading it, but it may swing back to full business as soon as as new football season resumes.
So if still interested, i can put you through during my free periods, please i don't mean to advertise arbitrage game trading here and i don't expect people to request for more info. Despite the fact that you are not placing bet but trading games for little profit, arbitrage still has low risk if any game is spotted and voided, nothing in life is without risk sha.
As i have said, it's no longer profitable as most bookmakers have upgraded their system to have fewer odd errors, but not zero error.
BusinessRe: Biggest Amount Of Money You Have Ever Lost In Life And Lessons Learnt From It by thonyman:
I lost over 450k within a month to bet9ja in 2019, I tried recouping my lost fund of initial 260k only to see it increase to 450k in space of 2 months, Liverpool vs Barcelona semi final champions league was the last straw that broke my camel back as i layed 260k for Barcelona to qualify for final, i think the odd was around 1.12 as Barca has already thrashed Liverpool 3 to 0 at Camp Nou only for Barcelona to receive 4 to 0 at Anfield, what a game!
I couldn't sleep and felt so depressed.
February 2020, a miracle happened, i saw a link for arbitrage betting training, d guy requested 1k to join the watsapp group for training and i decided to try it out, i was like 1k is too small, i won't mind getting scammed, only for it to be real.
Between Febuary to June dis year, i recovered all lost to betting from many bookmakers sites and made more than what i lost, it only pained me that bet9ja was not the bookmaker that paid most of the funds recovered. There was no lockdown for me as the period was when i recovered all my lost fund from conglomerates of betting sites through arbitrage makers.

Good day all! I know this is not the right thread for this, but I need your assistance for a friend who wants to conclude on a deal for a toyota camry on Saturday.

The issue is that I am suspecting something obviously fishy with the Odometer reading of the car. They told her it is a 2001 model with an odometer of ' 9649 miles' . Please I'll appreciate if somebody can help me to run a VIN check: '4TIBG22K3YU942977'. Thanks in anticipation.
Although I have report for it from other VIN sites but mileage not available in the report.

RomanceRe: My Fiance's Ex Is Fabricating Lies Against Me by thonyman: 11:03pm On Aug 18, 2020
juliabobly65:
Hello nairalanders, I need your opinions on this matter.

My boyfriend of 3 years who is now my fiancee (we are talking marriage already) is constantly talking to his ex girlfriend (who is now married).

They discuss all manner of things, ranging from how she misses him and wished she had waited for him.

Trouble started when he told her he was planning to settle down (I still wonder why he told her) ever since she's always coming up with pots of lies against me. She claims someone told her so many things about me.

She fabricating lies isn't my major concern because I know once something good is about to happen the devil comes in many ways than one to destroy it.

I've told my man all about my past life and everything in it, recently he accused me of withholding some information of my past. The ex girlfriend had a chat with and told him things I don't even know about.

Nairalanders this lady is married, why is she poke nosing into our affair?? If she loved him that much, why did she marry another man?? Why is my man giving her audiencehuh Is he still in love with herhuh I know she's obsessed about me. Her constant chats with him, makes him accuse me of things I've never done in my entire life.

I told him we should suspend the marriage until he's done with his investigation since he doesn't believe me cos he said if he finds out something I did in my past in the future and I didn't tell him it will be a problem.

Admins pls push to front page.
..
Here is what you need to do,
Try and get the ex husband,
Brief him details and let him know how his wife still have feelings for your fiance, let him see evidence of chat if available, in fact make it available to backup your claims.
Now, you would av brought down the heat on everybody including you, which is the best way.
Note this, d kid you called boyfriend/fiancee will call the relationship with you over, the ex will also be in hot soup and may loose her marraige,
But be rest assured, your fiancee brain will be restored back to factory settings after some months, and he will want you back into his life if he really loves you , also the ex will let your relationship be and face her marriage
Peace like a river will come into your relationship.

OK thank you but what kind of information that one can ask before going for physical inspection?
Car TalkRe: I Need Ur Advice Regards Rav4 2007/2008 by thonyman:
Having a Nigerian used car put up for sale doesn't necessarily mean it was faulty prompting seller to put it up for sales, if going for Nigerian used car, get Gazzuzz service.
With him & God by ur side, you are covered from Lemon purchase.
He saved me from buying an overhyped Nigerian used highlander 2007 in Ibadan few weeks ago.
Seller claimed no hidden faults/pristine state, my friend who went earlier to check fell in love with it only for Gazzuzz to inspect & root out all hidden faults and advise on what the ride actually worth.

abujarealtor:
I deserve it, no doubt. And I regret it. Never throught I could do it myself until it happened.

I understand the point you're trying to make. But bros, country hard. Not trying to justify gambling or any of that, but I feel betting is better than theft. Without enough jobs and enabling business environment, I feel it helps to keep our youth occupied in the meantime. Assuming one plays responsibly, of course.

About the client, no, I don't intend on telling stories. In fact, I've been trying to make back the money from them. So far, I've made about 100k. Only difference is that I now bet more responsibly.

Thanks for your insight.
..
You will end up losing the 100k and any other fund you borrowed to recoup your money by placing more bet. That's for sure, you can argue in your mind but that's reality.
I have been in your shoes before.
Count your loss and move on.
You can't beat the bookmakers bro!
InvestmentRe: Safe Betting: How I Lost N880,000 In 8 Minutes by thonyman: 2:50pm On Jul 30, 2020

candyguyofficia:
The choice of vehicle I feel depend on specific factor (s) that are percular to you. Factors of which you mentioned some:

1) fairly large family (but going for sienna depend on how long your niece will be staying) because if it's for a short time they staying and your immediate family (including you) isn't more than 4 in total then they MAY not be need to opt for Sienna.

2) The unpaved road that leads to your house and considering the nature of Nigeria road generally the Highlander will be a better choice.

A major factor you haven't stated:
3) Who plan on using the car most of the times, if wifey Sienna won't be bad just the way the Highlander won't be a bad choice

4) Profession: What is your profession or wife? (It's a rhythorical question but if you choose you can answer) but if you an Engineer and you plan to use most of the time the new vehicle I would say go for Highlander, trust me when awarding contract(s) the person awarding it want to see some sense of security and stability of the contractor and a vehicle like Highlander would give positive vibe but driving a vehicle like Sienna can give vibe like hope the contractor wouldn't use my money to solve immediate family problem before even starting the job and vice versa in that Sienna connote family man in some profession that one will want a family man.

The long and short of it is that your profession and who intend to drive the vehicle is a major factor.
Your response is explicit and guiding. Thanks, sir.
