nurey:
no issues for that design

Okay. It helps to know, since I've already order for the '07. Thanks

nurey:
same thing but always advice able to not pick the first production year run of a vehicle so I would say settle for a 2008

Thanks for the reply.
But is there any known issues with the 2007?

Reading through this thread has really been helpful. Though i wish there was a way to search through a particular thread on nairaland instead of having to go through each page.
Thanks for all the contributions.
Please, Is there really a significant difference between Lexus es 350 2007 vs 2008 model?

kakakibuy:
The right answer to your question is that it depends on your budget. This will determine the quality of the 2008 Lexus ES 350 we'll get. Take a look at these 2 attached ones for example.
One cost $2,700 while the other cost $5,100 There are other 2008 ES 350s without a fixed price whose winning bids will vary significantly. That's why it makes little sense for me to give you a price. The best approach is for you to connect with me on WhatsApp, we go over your budget and other basic expenses needed to get the car to Lagos, and we evaluate if what's left will be enough to win a 2008 Lexus ES 350.

We don't resell cars for profit . Pay exact costs
only!!!

Well, I asked because I've gone through every single page on this thread (and other of your threads + other dealers) and saw where you gave people estimates of what certain cars will cost. I'm quite aware of how prices vary; which was why I gave the description [Full option, low mileage, minimum fixing required.]
You will agree with me that the 2nd car in the pictures doesn't meet the above criteria.
I had to state these because it seemed you considered my question unreasonable enough to warrant a response at first.

Thank you for your response nonetheless.
I may reach out to you soon.

whaithee:
Oh, I forgot to mention. 2008

I'm still waiting for your response.

Hello
How much to get this to me in Nigeria?

kakakibuy:
It depends on the year of manufacture.

Oh, I forgot to mention. 2008

Hello,

I'm considering between ES 350 and RX 350.
What's the total budget I should be looking at for either of them?
Full option, low mileage, minimum fixing required.

AreaFada2:
Does this story not sound a bit funny?

@OP, You as a wife, are standing by a deportee hubby faithfully. You both did registry marriage (which might eventually help him return to UK) and he suddenly wants out?

Abeg ma tell us the whole truth.

Is it that you both acquired certain assets together or even alone in his name in the UK and having now married him, you can claim those assets alone in his absence?

Because it appears to me that your hubby is particularly against you getting a copy of the MC. Why is that?

You said you were ready to forget UK and settle in Nigeria. Did you later realise that option is a big step and got cold feet?

Or is it that you now changed your mind and want divorce? Your hubby having done all he could to keep you and you refused, is desperately trying to prevent divorce by hiding the MC?

Please tell us the full honest story so that we can stop speculating.

Exactly!
Question is:
Shouldn't the husband be more interested in the divorce than the lady, since he is the one that decided to end the marriage? So why is it difficult for him to produce the marriage certificate?
This lady (if she is real) is likely trying to play a fast one on the man.
As always most people will respond out of sentiments.

SPCAdmin:
that is good

Read the transcript of the interview below.
Tell us about these scholarships you won?

Kaleab: It's about six scholarships that I have won which are fully funded. The first one is an Erasmus Mundus program. It is given at three different institutions in 3 countries in Europe (France, Spain and Hungary). The other scholarships are the Invest Your Talent in Italy (Universita de Pisa), and the Italian Government scholarship (University of Messina). The next one is, the Korean government scholarship. I was admitted to Seoul National University, which is a top university in Korea to study engineering and the other to study Computer science and engineering.

Are you going to take the whole scholarships or would you have to select some and let go the others?

Kaleab: Yeah, I have to select exactly one. I cannot take more than one. I think most of the schools that I've been admitted are really great. The disciplines are what I would want to study, but I have to select one as I have said. So I think I would go for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship program because it's in the specialisation that I am really in love with. Very prestigious institution. Plus the Erasmus Mundus is a wonderful program, it also has a generous scholarship package, so I think I'd be good with it.

What is it about you that gave you the advantage to acquire all these scholarships?

Kaleab: Maybe it could be my academic performance and some awards. Actually, I have the best degree in Computer Science from Addis Ababa University, which is the largest and the oldest university in Ethiopia. I had a CGPA of 3.93 which was the highest CGP from my college and there are also some awards that I have gained during my study. But beyond that, I think the most important thing is how I presented myself to the committee. I have calculated and clearly stated my strengths and my plan, and I think I have shown them why I’m worth it. I think that's what made me stand out from the others.

Let's talk about how you got to know about these scholarships in the first place.

Kaleab: I think one is from word of mouth. The other is through a professor in my school and the rest is through your amazing platform, Afterschool Africa.

That's good to know. Which of the platform are you more active with on Afterschool Africa? Is it the mobile app or the website?

Kaleab: As a matter of fact, I have used all of them and I think I have used a lot the mobile app. I really love your platform because it has an elegant user interface, it is very easy to navigate. And then above all, it's very organized. Anyone can easily get the scholarship. I have actually recommended it to a lot of friends and colleagues and it's really a great job that you are doing. Keep it up!

Thank you for that. Did you apply any strategy in applying for this number of scholarships?

Kaleab: Actually, I had not a clearly stated plan, but I know that I have to pursue my study, next year. So I was very dedicated applying to numerous scholarship programs. But when I apply, I don't just apply to try, I applied to win. I made sure that I do everything that makes the selection committee select or choose my application. I have put a lot of hard work into it.

And your hard work paid eventually.

Kaleab: Of course, it paid off, but I felt amazed when I learned that I have won the scholarships. I planned to get at least one or two and I didn't expect getting all of them honestly speaking.

In total, how many scholarships did you apply for?

Kaleab: I have applied for 8 scholarships, but the other two gave me a partial scholarship.

Were you involved in any form of community service during your stay in the higher institution that also played out to your advantage of getting the scholarship?

Kaleab: Oh yeah, of course. I was, but not that much a member of a charity club. I have played some role. I have played a role in designing brochures and creating awareness of the club. But not as much actually. And I mentioned this in the course of my application.

How do you think African students can be more competitive in applying for these international scholarships?

Kaleab: I think what most of the African youth or students lack is the devotion or the dedication to apply. And I have seen a lot of students even my friends being discouraged after they see that they have to write a lot of essays and they have to sit for a standard language options. They feel discouraged, they drop out easily. They give up easily. So what I would advise is, never give up because of the time it will take. The time will pass anyway. So to achieve your goal, you have to be dedicated and put a lot of hard work and you can easily achieve it.

What would you tell someone who is still working towards that point of getting a scholarship to be doing today to be better qualified for a scholarship tomorrow?

Kaleab: Yeah, that's a great question because as a student, they have to work hard to get good grade, better knowledge and to prepare for further studies. So if you can show that you are talented or you have the academic knowledge, anyone would like to work with you, anyone would like to invest in you.

What essay tips would you give to prospective candidates?

Kaleab: As I have said earlier, you have to present your strengths, you have to focus on your strengths and show the committee you know what you are doing. You're not just applying. The other thing is that you have to show your enthusiasm for the field of study that you are applying.

Can you tell us about yourself, and your background?

Kaleab: I was born in a historical town in Ethiopia. I have a sister. I am the second and the last child in my family. I was introduced to the computing system when I was 13 years old and since then I felt in love with the computing world. My family has played a great role to becoming who I am now. I even worked in my dad's computing solution centre as a desktop publisher, as cell phone and computer technician, as a web developer and mobile app developer. It helped me a lot to become who I am today.

How did you feel when you saw all that “congratulation” emails coming your way?

Kaleab: I felt surprised to learn that I have these several scholarships. I felt lucky. I was destined for this, you know, luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. I was prepared and the opportunities were out there. So when my preparation met the opportunities out there this just came out. The harder you work on your dream, the greater you will feel when you achieve it, I really do feel great.

Final word of encouragement to other African students out there looking for scholarships…

Kaleab: Never give up; work hard until you get “congratulations” on your email inbox.

What do you think about Afterschool Africa?

Kaleab: As I have told you it's an amazing app. It's wonderful. It's very easy to navigate and get scholarship that really fits you. The subscription is really amazing. The mobile app; especially because it loads only the scholarships you are likely to be eligible for. I have recommended it to lots of friends and colleagues. So it's really a great job.

Thank you for your time and for sharing your experience. I hope people who get to read about this would be inspired, and also take action on what you have shared today.

Kaleab: Thank you for having me.

Life may seem unfair sometimes. While a lot of people are looking for funding for their studies, someone is being spoilt with the options of six fully-funded and two partial international scholarships.

After his first encounter with a computer at the age of 13, Kaleab Alemayehu found himself in a long-term romance with the computing world. This has lead him from designing an award-winning project at the Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, lending his skills at his fathers’ company, to winning six fully-funded scholarships and two partial scholarships to study abroad for Masters in Korea, Italy, France, Spain, and Hungary.

In his words, "The harder you work on your dream, the greater you will feel when you achieve it."

This is very possible. The fault is not usually from the phone but the charger. Once I bought a charger. It shocks like hell when I mistakenly touch the camera (has metal component). Some of these chargers they sell in the market are not friendly at all. You better take caution.

Still eager to hear your or friends experience.

A friend of mine told me how a particular study abroad agency charged her N50,000 to help process her admission abroad.

Hello whaithee , any update on your quest. Would be interested in your findings �

From my research months ago, few banks offer USD fixed deposit: FCMB, Fidelity bank are the ones I can remember. The Firstbank staff I met then said they don't (or they no longer). I had to settle with Diamond since they had the best interest rate, though not so attractive (6%). But you can't do less than 50k. Early December, they usually open for smaller amount and higher %age though.

There is such thing as emotional intelligence. And she failed woefully at that.
While it's not the smartest tactic to sieve out applicants (if that was the employers intention), working away is impolite, even if he was a gate-man.
Everyone acts good mannered when looking for a job. She just let herself out.
