Election is around the corner

Fake humility everywhere!

Pat081:
Telling you what happen to me seller will tell you is Belgium ,chaina is 2nd hand one

I got one from a guy on Nairaland and everyone who have gotten theirs from the guy gave a feedback that it has never cut which made me buy it, and mine hasn't cut too

Pat081:
First one problem is belt because it can cut at anytime always have like 2 or 3 in your car the rest is when the car is getting old problem

Having 2 or 3 belts spare belts for wetin nah?

That's if you're buying fake belts... Just get one original Belgium timing belt and the rest is history

Sensiblerealist:
That 2001 model na die. E dey do me make I noor sell am self but nobody dey drive am as my mum who owns passed on a few months ago.
Can someone suggest how much it can be sold for?
Still in good condition.
But I prefer Muscle sha and the even more muscular 2020

I have never seen anyone sell that car without missing it, especially it wasn't giving you headache

Pootle:
1998 to 2001 model, its stood the test of time. just get good timing belt and good to go

I used to hear people talk about how rugged Pencil camry is, and I used to think it was some kind of exaggerations until I own one

Omo! It's been two years now and the car rugged die.. No major issue apart from slight issues that can be easily fixed in a matter of minutes

The car never disappoints every morning, and as bad as the road in my area is, the car still dey ply am

That's the sad reality of the country

Graduates eyes dey see shege for this country.. Na you go dey prepare yourself wella and find something doing before NYSC end

pocohantas:
All of this happened in 3 years?
That was fast one.

All this drama in just 3 years ooo

Shey no be juju be that?

Sensiblerealist:
As long as she can produce eggs, IVF surrogacy will take care of it. The down part is the awkwardness around her when are friends start noticing she doesn't have her monthly menstrual cycle

Haba! Why will her friends notice she isn't having her monthly cycle?

As long as she doesn't tell them, no one would know

Any post about GEJ contesting for 2027 presidential election should be moved to the jokes section

I have a very close friend who have two siblings. My friend was an SS while his younger brother was also an SS but his elder brother is not

My friend was a very brilliant guy. In fact, he was one of the most brilliant students when we were in JJS 2 back then, but he used to skip school a lot back then during crisis

He might come to school consecutively for 3 weeks and in the coming week, he might not come at all

In 2012, he lost his younger brother who had SS crisis and they were remaining just two

They later relocated out of our area and we lost contact.. I tried reaching out to him but no way.. I also went to his Facebook and I discovered it has been inactive for more than 10 years

I was added to our alumni group and I decided to ask about him, only for me to be told that he passed on around 2016

His elder brother is the only one alive now.. Imagine! 3 children reduced to 1 in a span of 14 years

manuelkel:
This your probability rating be one kind.
Abstinence is the best solution. Let's not rely on probabilities.

Marriage alone comes with a lot of stress talk more of adding SS probability to it

AlbertNewton:
They can certainly win.
I believe we have enough sensible people in Nigeria to make them win. We only need to ensure we come out to vote on election day.

Even with their combo, it would be hard to win

Nigerians are not only contesting against Tinubu but also INEC chairman who has been bribed

Cars aren't all about fuel efficiency.. There are a lot of things to consider when buying a car aside just fuel efficiency

A car can be very fuel efficient yet it will give you a lot of headache during any slight issue

It's ruggedity first and the ability to withstand bad roads

koladata:
There's no 3million car in nigeria, which one is 700k - 500k , Even bike is 1million naira above

I just dey laugh too bro

No car is cheap anymore including a Nigerian used car.. If you ever find anyone willing to sell their car for peanut for whatever reason, you need to thread with caution

Oisagbai78:
Even korope is now #5M. All these prices are just lies from the pit of hell.

I wonder oooo broo.. Na real lies

I

Angelfrost:
Game wey Everton don win since... Ref say no way!

Mtchewwww! Corrupt League.

Just like the shameless match-fixing between Villa and Spurs.

A part of me was telling me that that Aston Vs Tottenham match was fixed

Evangelisttj:
Wow!
Obi is loved. I naturally would vote for him.
Though not sure why he said he only needed one term.

I don't think he can stick to that promise

dominique:
Once again the opposition has scattered themselves, they will now start crying about rigging when the results don't go their way. You can't keep doing the same things and expect different results.

They don't even have one voice and are all fighting for their selfish interest

Is this the way they want to defeat a sitting president?

This is an easy victory for Tinubu

Ayo25:
Don’t misled the person please. No law gives you six months to vacate property.

After your rent expires, you are served with owners intention to recover property after 7 days. If you don’t vacate after seven days, landlord takes you to court. In court you tell the the judge how long before you vacate property which can’t be more than 1 month and you must pay the rent for the 1 month. You are not entitled to occupy a property more than a day after your rent expires.

Always get the through position of the law. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

What you're saying is nonsense and you have no sympathy at all

Increasing rent by 108% is pure wickedness no matter how you try to justify this wickedness, and you're here quoting stupid laws that the OP is meant to vacate the property within a month

If a landlord can be so inconsiderate to raise rent by 108% overnight, he should be able to at least give the tenant 3 or 6 months to prepare his exit since he can't afford it

But you're here defending the landlord and quoting rubbish law, saying the OP is supposed to pay if he exceeds the time his rent expired

Do you people think others pick money on the floor?

Bendeco02:
Not bad as Atiku don't want to consider zoning.

Atiku don't care about zoning because age is not on his side anymore forgetting that if Obi and Kwakwanso is not on his side, he can't win as well.

How will Atiku now achieve his presidential ambition without Obi and Kwakwanso on his side? The man is not really wise.

If Atiku still go ahead and contest, then I know he like wasting money. He don't even campaign or move around but just depend on his wealth which will still fail him.

Atiku is very stubborn and greedy at the same time to the extent that despite the woes we are passing through, people still prefer to vote Tinubu instead of Atiku

ChiefS:
Cutting of timing belt especially at an unexpected time. This is common with Toyota Camry

I guess you're talking about Toyota pencil

Indaboski bahose!

He remains my favorite fake pastor

gtassure:
There is nothing wrong with your camry, I get the same stat as well! Don't listen to all these Nairaland boys, claiming low fuel consumption on their imaginary car!
Most of them are lifting the stat straight from the internet!
There is no way you will get 1 gallon/ 100km on any car, except the engine is small and the car is brand new!

Some people will read some comments and will start thinking they're using the wrong car.. They will start diagnosing a faultless car, looking for a fault that is absent thereby enriching their mechanic

Nothing wey person no go see for Autos section of Nairaland. In fact, the only comment I'm yet to see is that their car using 2litre /100km 😂

casualobserver:
The problem with most Nigerians is 1) they were not properly taught how to drive and 2) petrol had been very cheap so they have developed very bad and fuel inefficient driving habits 3) most don’t understand the physics of motion.

80% of the fuel you burn is to overcome inertia from standstill. Once a car is in motion you require very little fuel to maintain your speed. This applies to all cars up to about 100km/h and quite frankly there are very few roads or road conditions in Lagos that warrant you traveling above 100km/h. However if you drive without regard to the road conditions ahead of you, you will find yourself constantly accelerating and braking. You can go from one traffic light to another and only need to accelerate or brake once or you can drive like a typical Nigerian and accelerate and brake 5 times. There are cars ahead of you, you accelerate like a mad man, you move 10-30m and you have to brake….that’s why your consumption is high and you keep changing your brake pads. A knowledgeable person never goes above the speed warranted by the general traffic conditions he is in. He rarely has to press his brake and most times all that is required a gentle press on the accelerator.

Try the same route tommorow and instead of looking at your Speedo, look at your rev counter, don’t accelerate dramatically if the road in front of you is not free. Try and drive in such a way as you minimize the number of times you press your brake and your rev counter is roughly @1500. You will be shocked!!

AC is not the reason your consumption is high, it’s bad driving habits, constantly accelerating hard beyond what is warranted by the road conditions.

Think of a car like a fridge with an old style compressor. E.G a 250w fridge, Each time you turn on the fridge, you can draw up to 1200w just to start the compressor. Once it starts and settles, consumption drops to 250w, it can even drop to below that once it achieves the set temperature but if you keep switching it off and on, every time it restarts the compressor will draw 1200w. That’s how a car works. You need more energy to get it to a certain speed that to maintain it at that speed.

Finally another thing. Put your hand out of the window with your palm facing the wind. The higher your speed the higher the force of the wind against your palm and hence the more the wind resistance the car has to overthe more petrol you are burning to overcome that wind force against you. You start to feel that heavy force at about 100-120km/h. That’s why when you travel at say
160/170km/h you can burn twice the petrol of someone traveling at 100km/h.

This is very objective 👍

When people talk about fuel economy, they start talking about injector, nossle, 02 sensor, catalyst, spark plugs without talking about driving habit

In fact, driving habit can even significantly reduce the fuel consumption of a car that is said to be a fuel gruzzler

Offpoint1:
My woman that one no dey wear clothes indoor... I don talk tire and give up.

Even in their family house, she only wear pant and walk around, this is someone with elder brothers o.

All family members said they are tired of correcting her.

If someone knocks at my gate and she sees it's a woman from the security cam, she's legit going out to open the gate naked, until I yell at her.

I've never met anyone who hates clothes as her.

If I see her putting on clothes indoor, then she's sick or about to fall sick.

Mine also doesn't really like wearing clothes around the house.. Most times, I yell at the top of my voice and I'm tired of correcting

I'm doing all these because I don't want my kids to grow up seeing nudity as a norm (I have two girls)

The way I see it, some family grow up this way where anyone can appear naked around the house without feeling discomfort, so changing such a person would be hard

They're both goons, so you can't expect him to do that

The same way Adeboye has been silent about the present government

Since they're the same gender, it's not really an issue

The one I detest is a mother always appearing naked in front of her female kids

angelboy01:
The guy that posted about taking pepsi twice a day, this is one of the effects of taking too much sugar o.

I don't think excess sugar intake has anything to do with this but that Pepsi guy no just well at all 😂

helinues:
Yoghurt and milk, I can't call it addiction as for me as that's what turning me off from taking alcohol

Even without tasting the 2 together, your stomach won't hesitate to say don't

Yoghurt is a very good way to combat that alcohol addiction

At least, Yoghurt has health benefits

Seun:
Hello Nairalanders,

I'm Seun, the founder of Nairaland. Talk to me about what Nairaland is like for you. What's good and what's not so good right now.

I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features. It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.

So, talk to me. What should we focus on in order to encourage you to start being more active on Nairaland?

PS: I have people dropping me messages presuming that Nairaland is over. What's that about?

Please in case you want to do overhauling and want to recruit more hands to work on Nairaland, I'm gladly available to work

Well, this is like cheating. Telling someone no sex before marriage and going ahead to have sex with someone else. It's no different from telling the person, he or she is a fool.

Any woman who use her mouth to tell me that nonsense, it's the surest say for me to tell her to get lost. She's not serious. Period.

I no know say baba no dey use Opueh play
