Thank you. By implication, the parts are scarce here?

This happened on my way back from Kaduna to Abuja this January. Being quite wary of the insecurity on the road I made to leave around 10am and planned to spend the minimum time on the road.

Consequently, I had to engage in some mild commando style driving so I averaged a speed of about 140km/h. I didn't stay long behind any vehicle and always aimed to have a clear road ahead. Thankfully we were just 2 in the car and there wasn't much load in the trunk so the vehicle picked up nicely.

The drama happened shortly after Jere, road wasn't too good but not bad either. Mr Mercedes must have linked up from Jere and was headed towards Abuja as well coasting at about 110km/h using eye judgement. Based on comparative speed, I soon caught up behind them, honked for an opening as two cars were beside each other and made to leave them behind as I passed.

From my observation, the car was packed with about 5 men, windows all wound up with AC. Car definitely looked new as well. From Mr C-class behavior, I judged he wasn't too happy as I attempted to reeze past him. He tended to pick up speed once I found an opening but a pothole in front forced him to slow down. Fortunately my left side of the road was clear with a much smaller ditch which I cleared with ease (thanks to wide tyres) as made up the hill as it was kind of a valley section. Mr C-class as I'll like to refer to him from now on, made to catch up with me thereafter but I guess the load he was carrying and the fact that we were going uphill gave me an advantage. I noticed he was trying to catch up so I turned off Eco mode, switched off the AC and stomped the vehicle to about 160km/h leaving him behind fast.

Just a few kilometers ahead, the road became smooth and straight and I surged forward, overtaking other vehicles and gaining a good lead. By now, I didn't see Mr Benz again...or did I? Yes I did! Although he was merely a small dot, I noticed there was something different, he had started gaining momentum. Evidently he had joined the good patch of road.

This reminded me of an experience in 2017. I was driving a Toyota Hilux as well but the 2007 year. A stubborn white w202 started gaining on me from the rear on a smooth tarred road and no matter how hard I tried (I do a lot of spirited driving), this guy gradually reined himself in, caught up with me, overtook and gave me a wide gap till he was invisible. Seems I'm having a deja vu.

Well, I stormed up to about 170km/h but for where, Mr Mercedes had cleared all the cars between us and was right on my tail. He caught up and passed! I gaped at my speedometer as he overtook and saw that I was topping 180km/h but at the speed with which he overtook, this guy was nothing less than 210 -220km/h. He had cracked open his windows a bit, definitely AC is now off and his tailpipe was squirting water vapour like crazy. I was stumped man. Dude didn't stop until he had at least 10 cars between us. I jejely came back to 140km/h and carried my L with pride.

Truly, German cars deserve the respect.

Modified: I was driving a 2020 Toyota Hilux

Living is a risky thing already and if you look at the passengers, you would see that they do not feel risked.

They just sit cooly like the road knows their names

psalmson001:
While risking the lives of all the passenger?

Igbos has no problem of acceptance.

SS and NC voted Igbo man.

NE and NW don't vote christian, it's not a tribe thing.

Yoruba is plain envious of Igbo.

Lagos Guber: You Want One Nigeria, Yet You Want Igbos To Leave Lagos - Aloy Ejimakor

Aloy Ejimakor, a Nigerian lawyer has condemned the hostility meted out to Igbos in Lagos by other Nigerians who claim they want a united Nigeria, IGBERETV reports.

Ejimakor wrote on his Twitter handle;



https://twitter.com/AloyEjimakor/status/1635177977356091394?t=86TxUmCI1imzgUcs4FAltg&s=19[/quote]Have you asked yourself what the typical Igbo has said in Lagos that prompted the attitude you now complain about. Did Sunak declare Britain a Province of India or “No man’s land” just because he is PM? Tell yourself the truth my friend! Baba Chinua Achebe famously said concerning the Igbo:
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.”
So long as the Igbo fail to deal with the above problem they will have problems of acceptance EVERYWHERE!

Wike is seeing clearly that he is on a free fall. He is now CORN-fused and looking for anything to hold on to. Even his shadows are getting ready to depart from him.

Governor Nyesome wike, nobody cares who you decided to support. But robbing and fraudulently manipulating the votes of the people of rivers is a crime against humanity which you must face the music.
