Very clean ride!

What's your last price?

Lol, enjoy, bro!

You are my Jonathan! Same qualities ,

Phew. That was a Kia Picanto plus I did not see anything wrong in pricing rather than make derogatory comments (without pricing)!
Congrats, you finally learnt how to do some research!

Did Sheyai see the year of manufacture?

With all the above explanations, you should just lay off!

Let the buyers decide. Rovers, Chevys, Volvos etc have no second hand value in Naija but people still buy them.

This is a Korean car that has pushed ALL its Japanese competitors to the limit and winning awards (over the Japanese counterparts) in the process and there you are talking out of ignorance!

It's high time people go for functionality (fuel economy, reliability, after sales support etc) over brand names and stop following the crowd: do your research!

Here are just a few links for you , if you don't know, use the internet!

I'd rather buy a 2009 hyundai elantra for 1.6m than a 2003 honda eod for 1.6m. My opinion!

Happy sales jare!

Kx, that's so untrue!

I happen to have used virtually all the isps in Nigeria. ALL have issues!
While Mobitel is having some challenges, you can not rule out teething problems in technology especially when you are pioneering it - in this case Mobitel is the pioneer if 4 G wimax technology.
I almost burnt my swift modems both at home and at work. Glo wasn't any better. Airtek, Etisalat, Zoom, Starcomms, etc had their own head/heart aches too.
I am really impressed with the Mobitel service. Sometimes there are down times but never had downloads and youtube so good in Naija before.
While ALL operators have their issues (home and abroad), we should not rule economic and environmental factors playing a major role in affecting the quality of technology service in Nigeria. There was a time construction workers cut a main one fibre to Mobitel (got to know cos i kept calling them) so naturally they hax to move to their backup link till they fixed it.
Always check out COVERAGE before buying any internet modem. Make sure there's strong service around your area. In my case, Mobitel did a pre-test before I bought my device - they still do.
Let us pray that broadband services improve in Nigeria.

Try Mobitel 4G. The fastest around. Blazing downloads without a data cap.
I think their website is www.mobitel.com.ng
Never been a dull moment since I got their wireless indoor unit
#impressive!

Can it go for 800k? Serious buyer.

Please try MOBITEL, Nigeria's first 4G provider.
Fast, reliable and affordable.
Check www.mobitel.com.ng for latest PROMO more details!
Awesome!!!

It's not only Kia. It's across all the auto manufacturers.

The cars shipped to Nigeria are of lower specs than the ones in Europe and America.

We got some Toyota Corollas, at my workplace, without airbags!
And that's the Toyotas people literarily worship - death boxes being sold at more exhorbitant prices than the ones sold in the UK and US with way lower specifications/features!!!

The Standards Organisation of Nigeria has to step up its game!

Noted sir, but I thought the posts were free!
Second leg will surely come, we eagerly await it but there must be a build up!
That's what's going on: posts and counter-posts!

Why Barcelona win proved Arsenal youngsters have maturity to triumph at the Nou Camp

By John Cross
Published 12:05 17/02/11

The Uefa Full Time Report is packed full of incredible statistics and Arsenal's win over Barcelona made for particularly fascinating reading.

Arsenal made 423 passes and completed 299, which is 71 per cent. Barcelona made 773 and completed 629 (81 per cent). Barcelona also had 61 per cent of the possession.

Let's face it. Arsenal do that to Premier League opposition week-in and week-out and don't always win. You can bet a few managers will have managed a wry smile as they watched Barcelona "do an Arsenal" on Arsenal. But you've got to make passes count.

Which is why there's only one statistic that really matters and that is: Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona.


There's also another factor that cannot be measured by statistics - never-say-die spirit.

Arsenal had it in abundance. They will need even more of it in the Nou Camp for the return leg on March 8.

But there's no doubt in their minds - they can complete the job against Barcelona. The return leg will all centre on Cesc Fabregas' emotional return to the Nou Camp.

However, the other stat to blow me away related to Jack Wilshere. He made 48 passes and completed 40, which is 83 per cent, according to Uefa's post-match report.

That ratio is higher than any other Arsenal midfielder and was better than even the great Andres Iniesta with 81 per cent.

For a 19-year-old up against the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, that is just astonishing.

No wonder England boss Fabio Capello and his assistant Franco Baldini left the Emirates smiling. They have seen England's future and they like what they see.

Even when Arsenal were being pinned back and dominated during the first half, Wilshere never gave up - and shone.

When Arsenal led their late rally, Wilshere was at the forefront, driving forward. Samir Nasri was clearly not fully fit and Wilshere stepped into the breach to be Arsenal's best and most creative player.

It was a coming of age for Wilshere and a coming of age for Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger will point to the fact he had players missing when they crumbled in Catalonia last year, but the Arsenal manager was also hurting after such a heavy defeat.

That was Arsenal's inspiration this time. They have matured individually and collectively and really put in a brave performance that said more about their mental strength than their beautiful football.

Other players deserve great credit, too. Keeper Wojicech Szczesny was superb. He's only 20 and yet showed amazing confidence and belief to stay on his feet for as long as possible even with Messi bearing down on him.

There is simply no way that Szczesny should be displaced as Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper. He must work on his kicking, but he admits that. Don't forget that this was his Champions League debut.

Theo Walcott has also matured from supersub to first team regular. His pace frightened Barcelona, his passing, final ball and crossing is so much better now. He's even shut Chris Waddle up.

Laurent Koscielny had a towering game. His stats are superb, too. Sometimes it can be hard when writing and filing copy throughout game to digest it in the way you would when watching on TV. That's maybe why my 7/10 rating for him doesn't do him justice at all.

We file copy throughout the game, and when you have late goals it makes life difficult adding new words. Readers are amazed that we have to write before the game's over but that's a tribute to my colleagues' match reporting skills. They get a chance to rewrite later.

But another player deserves a mention and that's Andrey Arshavin. He came on and made a real difference, helping to set up the equaliser and, of course, scoring the winner.

Yet afterwards, Arshavin was straight down the tunnel, no celebrating. He walked through the mixed zone area for press interviews without stopping.

Clearly, the Russian was upset at being left out of the starting line-up. But the Champions League is a squad tournament and Arshavin showed just how important a role he has to play.

Let's hope he's not sulking and is merely determined to learn his lesson, accept his kick up the backside and come back even stronger.

Arsenal have certainly done that from a year ago.

Some of us may have to "see" outside the box!

Nice read guys:
Jack Wilshere is the midfielder we have been waiting for

Arsenal scoured the world for a player like Jack Wilshere but it turns out he was in Hitchin all along

Arsène Wenger has roamed the earth for footballers who can pass like Xavi or Andrés Iniesta. For a long time he may have thought English youngsters were good only for giving the ball away or getting into scrapes in nightclubs. Imagine his surprise, then, when he found what he was looking for in Hitchin, a Hertfordshire town from where Valerie Singleton went on to present Blue Peter – a show Jack Wilshere has not long grown out of.

In French academies and African villages Wenger has pursued players capable of executing his vision of what football should be: a game of pace, skill, fluidity, adventure. But all he had to do was motor north from the club's training ground at London Colney to a heartland of suburban Arsenal support. There he found the most gifted young English midfielder since Paul Scholes, who made his debut for Manchester United at the age Wilshere is now.

The difference is that Scholes padded on to the scene in a League Cup match at Port Vale while Wilshere, at 19, already appears indistinguishable from Barcelona's two best midfielders, who took silver and bronze behind Lionel Messi in Fifa's world footballer of the year award. In Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Pep Guardiola's team Wilshere could have worn the livery of either side, such was his range of passing, his courage in demanding the ball in tight spots, his confidence and sense of belonging.

The two compatriots who bear comparison from the last 25 years are Scholes and Paul Gascoigne, who crashed the picture with Newcastle shortly before his 18th birthday, against QPR, in April 1985. Scholes was a small bundle of dexterity and toughness who still lacked the physical dimensions to convince United's coaching staff he would fully make the grade. Gascoigne was more of a maverick: brilliant but troubled, blessed but wayward.

This is where Wilshere's story veers off into its own sparkly realm. A Premier League debutant at 16 years and 256 days, the Stevenage-born but Hitchin-raised Wilshere won his first England cap at 18 years and 222 days and has already played 48 times for Arsenal.

Gascoigne was granted the freedom to self-destruct. Scholes had to fight his way through a thicket of selectorial challenges. At various times in his early years Mark Hughes, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Juan Sebastián Verón all stood in his way. Scholes is a majestic player who has had to accommodate or work around rival talent more than we appreciate. In the end his class and loyalty paid dividends. At first he was seldom in command of his own destiny, as Wilshere is now.

In the aftermath of Arsenal's thrilling counter-drive one witness pointed out that Barcelona may forget Cesc Fábregas next summer and come calling for Wilshere instead. Normally, hype fixes itself on a young striker who announces himself with a rash of goals, or a zesty teenage winger who smears full-backs on toast. This time, though, praise is being stacked up for a young English conductor in the hardest position of all: a fresh face with the full repertoire of short and long link-play, balls round the corner and probing passes delivered on the run, like Steven Gerrard at his best.

In all dimensions Wilshere exceeded the bounds of what ought to be possible for a player of his years against the world's best club side. Gascoigne's finest moments were in an England shirt. In his brief prime he locked antlers with many formidable opponents. There is no memory, though, of him having to struggle against a Messi, Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi in spaces so heavily compressed that the rest of us would have no time to shout "help!" between receiving and losing the ball.

Scholes mastered this art steadily, in the company of serial trophy-winning colleagues. Wilshere seems to have arrived there by some developmental miracle. No time seemed to elapse between reports of his promise and the delivery of those hopes against Barcelona, in a Champions League knockout tie, amid suffocating pressure.

There is good news on the England front too. In an interview before the game Wilshere surrendered an insight into how highly his international team-mates rate him. Fabio Capello is in danger of using him as a luxury David Batty but Wilshere says: "I spoke to Frank Lampard before the [Denmark] game and he said – 'don't just sit, we've seen you can go forward, so if you want to go forward just tell me and I'll sit' – which is similar to my role with Arsenal really, when I have that licence too."

Lampard, who has travelled up many dead ends with England, is evidently helping with the future, which has arrived early, in the shape of a young orchestrator who defies the English norm. The system can be beaten.

I have seen your comments with others and concluded its unnecessary to continue this discussion.

"hey boi, u sound like you just had 2 much menstrual fluid 2 drink. (ever since the last 4-1 bashing y'all been whinning about losing key players instead of GIVING BARCA PROPS. even hercules beat barca, there wasnt so much noise. arsenal wont win the champions league, arsenal wont produce a ballon diorist, arsenal best passers in england! cant even have a 40% possession against barca. props to arsenal 4 achieving an UNPRECEDENTED FEAT; OBVIOUSLY A MUCH HAPPIER DAY THAN THE DAY U WON THE CHAMP, OH SORRY THE PREMIER LEAGUE".

Not worth it!

From there, you can see the match statistics, player ratings etc. That clearly buttresses my claims.

Now, i just showed you how to use the internet to support arguments.

You should research more sites and base your arguments on better facts than your thoughts and stop asking me to spoon feed you with more.

Facts are not necessarily what we think/believe.

I rest my case. Na so Goliath do when David kill am.

Barca WILL NOT make the top four of the EPL. The likes of Wolves will make the top 4 of the La Liga!

@ dippwhatever, are you sure you watched the same match? Go to the Brca website and read Guordiola's comments.

Have you seen online reviews? Go through this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/16/arsenal-barcelona-champions-league-report

check match statistics and the player ratings tabs

Wake up! Or are you still stunned?

Last year Inter "upset" Barca, this year Arsenal have "upset" them in the first leg.
But if its another team, you will use the word the work won/defeat/beat abi? Barca wasn't registered like every other football club, abi? Hence their unique definitions of losing a match. Wake up to the reality of out times!

If FIFA/UEFA were not aware there could be uncertainties, shocks and surprises, they'd have just abandoned the game between Arsenal and Barca and handed Barca automatic qualification based on their previous soccer pedigree!
Upsets will come (like we saw on wednesday and between Spurs and AC Milan) and more will come in the return legs.
Don't write any team (in the last 16) off!

Where were the three balon d'or veterans when 19 yr old Jack Wilshere held down the midfield? He was man of the match!
Look, people never learn that NO condition is permanent!
Once upon a time, Brazil dominated world football, then came France, Argentina, Germany and most recently Spain. Spain was humiliated by Argentina after the world cup (against the predictions of the so-called pundits).
FOOTBALL is not STATIC! Things keep revolving. Players get wiser n more experienced! Teams grow stronger with time.
As an Arsenal fan, I'll tell you the scoreline is more important than beautiful football cos I've seen it happen to us time and time again.
We have combined determination, ruggedness and cutting edge to our beautiful football this season. Hence it was not surprise that we beat Chelsea to their game - ruggedness!
Before the 1st leg, a lot on people never believed in what the Arsenal community believed in. Now they have swallowed the humble pie and have turned their focus on the result at the Nou Camp.
Will Wenger and his boys field cripples at the Nou Camp?
Will Barca field any better players than they fielded at the Emirates?
STRATEGY, like what we saw at the Emirates, is what COUNTS not assumptions/speculations.
In a short while, Barca (or Real Madrid) will reel out a list of the Arsenal players they want to sign on! Because they are ALL WORLD CLASS!
These guys are young (average age is 23 years!) with players like Wojiech (20) and Wilshere (19) brimming with unparalleled confidence!
It's their time, they will SOAR!

If you choose to dwell in the dark ages, that"s your own cup of coffee.
Once you've done something before, you have the courage/confidence/determination to do it again; regardless of the location!
Whether you believe it or not, it is doable. It has been done once and it will be done twice!
Some people are not even Barca fans but are envious of the achievement(s) of the young gunners.
Na so una go dey till una intestines twist out of jealousy!
Shame to bad belle people!

All you fake football pundits and false prophets will be amazed at the result of the return leg.
Will Arsenal go there with crippled players to give Barca (who will be without their central defensive pair) a chance to qualify at their expense?
Are Barca going to use another set of players aside the ones that tasted defeat yesterday?
Will Arsenal Wenger fold his hands and believe he has qualified or cook up some other tactics before their next meeting?
TALK is CHEAP! Infact, FREE!!!
The haters spoke about Barca beating Arsenal blue-black at the Emirates and lost out (with Barca).
Now their focus is at Camp Nou!
Let's see if they will take steroids to match Arsenal's pace at the Nou Camp!
Barca ko, Ragga ni!

@ flops: Inter milan is the best team in the world right now not Barcelona. They won a quadruple including Champions' league and World club football for the 2009/2010 season. The 2010/2011 season has not been concluded. If they win the UEFA Champs league, then they can be classified as the world's best team. In the same vein, Chelsea are the champs of the EPL, not Man United cos the are the current title holders (like Inter Milan).
Arsenal can match Barca in every department, you'll see that in a few hours. Last year, we fielded a depleted squad (no thanks to injury) but this year, we are almost complete (Vermalen, Fabianski etc still out). Injury is not an excuse but its worth mentioning.

@ LouisThoru, ever wondered that everyone's not on FB plus not everyone has GEJ as a friend on facebook?

@ LouisThoru, not everyone's on FB plus not everyone has GEJ as a friend on facebook so let the poster be!

could we get better interior pics?
like to see the dash board and steering properly.

El Rufai has every right to air his views!
What if someone asks "who is Nna Boy to talk about El Rufai"?

apn for zain?

He who kills by the sword, dies by the sword!
Forgiveness is divine.
If a person kills, he/she could be killed.
If a person commits adultery, why should he/she be killed?
By that yardstick, roughly 65% of couples will be killed because people commit adultery everyday!
Thanks Oluite, what happened to the man she slept with? Biased judgement, I must state!
Well posted, dayokanu!

you got another one of this? auto prefarably.
