You should always change parts like these in pairs.

You'll have all sorts of issues on this car.

I'm just an intern in the said auto workshop, i believe my master and the owner of the ride would have discussed the whole thing before bringing the car for repair..

I marveled when I saw the car thou.. cute and cool

It depends.

I buy used engines all the time from UK.

Unless your car is under warranty, then you'll find out that used engine market is robust here.

What Trump issue?

If you're in legally then he can't touch you.

You only need to be concerned if you intend to commit immigration fraud.

The way that they are deporting people this year is unprecedented. I am certain this year will have more deportees than any Obama years and he held the record of most deportings.



yes... that's what I tell people during the previous US election when people who don't even have an intl passport like me dey shout "deportation this and that", just do just things legally and I believe no body will disturb you... I can't involve myself in anything illegal ooo

EgunMogaji is a US citizen and doesn't like felony charges that might come from assisting foreigners in committing immigration fraud grin

I would advise OP, like I advise all others to only immigrate legally.

With eVerify, there will be no jobs of any repute to be hard.

"E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. E-Verify is fast, free and easy to use – and it’s the best way employers can ensure a legal workforce."

I've read some of your comments here and I know you won't support anything illegal.. nice one sir.. OP u don hear ooo

Today, I was hit by an epiphany...

I normally drive around in a toyota camry (2010 model). Though somewhat old, it gets me from point A to point B, I use it for school runs, grocery runs and for work. So, today, my elder sister used the car to go get some stuff and I had to run some urgent errands for My mum. I had to use her car, a toyota highlander (2015 model).

On driving for some minutes, I was slamming some cool jams on the stereo, I realized that my mum's car was actually better, controls and all; the steering wheel turned smoother, the brakes worked better, the car accelerated smoother. It was then it dawned on me that her car was all round better than mine, that driving wasn't just about moving from point A to point B. I would not have come to the conclusion if I had not driven her car (which I was somehow skeptical about driving at first).

That exactly is how those who have been in Nigeria all their lives will never know how a sane society works, how stuff are meant to be. We are so used to the fvckery in nigeria that we see it as a way of life, we have gotten so used to suffering and smiling. We have been so used by our leaders, go to politics section, you'd see our youths taking sides and defending these same persons who are robbing us blind, the same people who have sworn never to relinquish power, who have sworn to keep nigeria in this undeveloped and backward state. Go to romance section, my mates are posting all over social media, making noise about bbn, "teamefe! teamtboss!" they cry, I shake my head in pity. My brothers and sisters, try as much as you can to leave nigeria, hustle for a tourist visa and visit a first world country, only then would you realize how messed up nigeria is. only then will you appreciate the difference between a Camry tiny light and a Bugatti Veyron.

If I tell u say this country no taya me I swear na lie. Like u said , it seems we've been accustomed to suffering and being taking advantage of, We see it as a normal thing. And that's the reason I'm always careful to have any kind of discussion that has to do with my life with anybody. Before gaining admission into the University.. I decided to go into Automobile mechanic training .. come see as people dey laugh me.... Na dat time I know say some kinds of works are not meant for Handsome guys.. I was really discouraged but my Ideal of determinism kept me going.. I gained admission that same year and today am an intern in the same auto workshop cos am studying an automobile related course which I really love and I think it'd make alot of sense if I know the practical aspects and not the theory alone. Though it not easy, I get depressed at times cos I don't even know what tomorrow holds in my dear country .. no hope for the youths or fresh graduates.. I no go relent sha .. I'll keep the ambitious fire burning.But if I fit manage get that thing wey dem call Visa after school.. make I hear say I wait..

Nothing like tokunbo parts here bro. anything wey spoil for ya motor, na new one, tearrubber them go put for you.
so how often do you work on your car's suspension system?
Travel / Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by Toppytek(m): 7:45pm On Apr 04, 2017
@franknetter how often do you change the shock absorber of your car over there compared to the frequent changing of shock absorber cos of the road irregularities here in Nigeria. Cos I learnt the main problem car suspension system is Nigeria is our poor road network. i guess there is no availability of "Tokunbo" spare parts over there. Lol

not only the motivational speakers... even some unserious lazy students compensate themselves with the believe that their certificate is not a yardstick to their success even when they don't have a better alternative... this is very common among the so called believers on campus... dem go get exams dem no go read ... na fellowship and vigil you go dey see dem... later they'll say an unbeliever is doing very well than them... Note: I'm a Christian and I believe in working hard and being rational with a positive mindset.
