The honestly is refreshing..But what exactly is the buyer paying N200,000 for? A pile of metals?

Dybala11:

According to the rule, two opposition players must be ahead of the attacking player. In that scenario only one player was ahead of Semi Ajayi.

Note: The two opposition players doesn't necessarily have to include the goalkeeper.

That's the correct interpretation of the rules. Only one Cameroonian player was beyond the Nigerian striker. It made the Nigerian striker off side.

This is a gem if the advert is true

good day Guys, please I need an informed response to my question.

I have a Honda pilot 2004, which I have packed for over a year now, I want to start using it so I went to the mechanic and do the necessary servicing.
but I noticed that my brakes are not working correctly when I step on the brake pedals, I will have to press to the floor before it holds the car, I thought it was worn-out brake pads, so I changed the brake pads to Asimco brake pads, but still, the problem persists. please what might be wrong?, is it a faulty ABS or something else?.. I need informed answers before I take it to the mechanic again...thanks

Check brake fluid level and confirm no leak. The fluid may have disintegrated so bleed all out and replace with new fluid, ensuring no leak.

When I read the story I was so sad wondering how a man can kill his wife and will go Scot free. Little did I know that Karma will deal with him so soon.

That's a cruel thing to say...It's not about the man for me..It's tempting to say he got his just desserts but the innocent children trapped in this unfortunate melodrama should weigh more than anything else..It may not be as bad in functional nations where government provides several effective safety nets for such children .The loss would be limited to emotional connection to parents but it's a jungle here...
Yes, the man deserves all the knocks he's getting but what was the point of chasing them in a car? We don't blame the dead. I acknowledge in these matters emotions take over. She may not even be sure why she took the car to go after them..She just couldn't think straight when she got the information..Sadly, they've turned themselves to guinea pigs..Men should learn from the man's mistakes and women should learn from the woman's..The man never imagined the cascade of events that would follow the seemingly harmless fun on the side..99% of men love their wives much more than any side chick..but men appear to be naturally wired to cheat..That does not excuse them though . Men need to be disciplined and responsible..

How about consumption of animals meat?

There are guidelines in rearing, slaughtering and consumption of animals. It's not common to, for example buy live chicken and slaughter in your home. There are regulations ensuring that the animals don't suffer unduly in the process of preparation. Meat is usually bought, already prepared in supermarkets and market halls. The businesses comply with government guidelines relating to the welfare of the animals. . Even then, there is a very robust campaign from various NGO's discouraging the consumption of meat and other animal products .Animal welfare is taken very seriously in the UK

RenaissanceGuy:
As much as I know that that this thread photo is not really what it's claiming, there's no doubting the fact that a lot of blood sacrifices HAS BEEN and WILL BE made in all of these burial and coronation CEREMONIES, albeit PRIVATELY under utmost secrecy.

Lie!

Threesha:
This is the British carrying a white ram (intended for sacrifice) for the crowning and declaration of Prince Charles as King of England.

This is their ancient tradition and culture (Ọdịnaanị na Omenaanị as we call it).

If this was an African king or Ìgbò chief, our brainwashed Christian brethren will call it idol worship, worshipping Alusi, and paganism.

These are the same people that brought you the "church" and told you that your ways were evil. They deceived you to abandon your ancient ways, only for them to hold unto their own.

See them celebrate their own with pride.

Africa wake up.

Fake News. Charles' coronation won't take place before mid to late 2023. There's no place in the programme for animal sacrifice. The suggestion is preposterous. Charles himself is an animal rights activist and would never allow such I'm all for culture and identity, but we shouldn't be making wild claims to push our culture agenda. Animal sacrifice is barbaric. It has no place in modern Britain ..It shouldn't take place in any modern society..

SavageResponse:


A 2005 Corrola is almost N4 million now!

So you expect a company to give you a car of that value without taking steps to ensure that it can get it's money back?

There is a new start-up car leasing company called Moove.

Go to their workshop/car park at Mushin along Agege Motor Road (Opposite the office of Mutual Benefits Life Assurance) you will see over 100 late model Toyota Corrolas which were recovered from Uber and Bolt drivers who refused to pay their installments!

They also have a car park inside the compound of the ECWA church beside their workshop that is also filled with recovered cars.

A business whereby you give out assets on credit in Nigeria is a very risky venture because Nigerians just do not like to pay debts!!!

No one actually likes to pay debts. The problem with the nigerian situation is that there are no reliable debt recovery institutions and procedures. People can easily walk away from their debts and damn the consequences..More often than not, there are no consequences. Most creditors are forced to employ unorthodox methods to recover debts. That equally means loans are both expensive and very difficult obtain. That stifles economic growth. Credit is the 'lubricant' of the economy. Without easy access to credit, the economy is stymied..

SeaTrade:
When I dey tell them,them dey argue.
Old luxury cars aren't worth it in my opinion.The money and the attention it takes from you is just something else.
I'd advise the op to get rid of it if he can.

...largely true..the exceptions however are Lexus LS400 and 430. Those cars are bomb proof! They can go on forever. German luxury cars are pure evil after about 10 years .

The story of many Nigerian young graduates is really pathetic! Very eye watering! How can a human live on 20K, 30K, 50K etc a month? Gallingly these are same people throwing hateful expletives at each other in defence of the politicians that condemned them to this inhuman existence, ensuring that they never come together to fight these malevolent men...It's heartbreaking!

buygala:



This unrequested trumpet-blow is for what biko?


Just tell us wetin you dey sell


Swear with Ogun say since ya mama born you, you have never told a lie

I'm not selling anything. The car I sold was a personal car I no longer needed. And yes, full disclosure is essential in business. You don't ambush potential customers. That is fraudulent.

fineboynl:
With slack bumper I'm seeing and dull headlight.

The headlamp and the bumper especially..Why the lie? I once informed someone enquiring about a car I wanted to sell that the car was burning oil (not smoking) and he was stunned. Why would I disclose not so obvious adverse information? I replied that I want to sleep well at night, look him well in the eye and greet him freely even months and years after the transaction. He said he had never seen someone like me, which is a shame because these types of disclosures are normal and routine in most decent countries. I keep saying that the world is not as bad as Nigerians make it look

Price?

alphabbey1:



But why will any reasonable person pay 1M for a manual vehicle with bad engine, bad AC, bad interior.... na everyday una no dey get conscience for this site

....I'll tell you why...It's because it's a Corolla..Lol!

jstrollet:
Used Toyota Corolla 2008.
Manual Transmission
AC not working,
Interior not too good,
Painted once and ringed due to smoking before.
Every other thing is good. papers are up to date except for Road Worthiness that expired earlier this Mach.

Asking Price:1M (negotiable)



Call or WhatsApp: 08167433551

You're effectively selling the SHELL for N1M! I don't blame you. I blame naira. It has lost every respect!

Gkemz:
Applying clutch before brake keeps the vehicle from stalling and manual tranny is designed to work like that. Clutch is also engaged before changing gears.
If you get used to it, driving manual becomes fun.

You don't always apply clutch while braking. Even if you are coming to a halt, you need to apply the brakes first and apply the clutch only at the point of the car coming to complete stop to avoid stalling, at which point you also change to lower gears or neutral. If you're not coming to a complete stop, you apply the clutch only when you want to change to the appropriate gear.

oldienavie:

This was exactly the same thing going through my head, the type of people calling themselves Born again these days is shocking.
This is what Christianity has become, it has been very diluted.
Someone that should bury her head in shame and cry out for forgiveness, someone still keeping in with the same person she committed emotional adultery with is still proud to seat on the throne of advise.

I bet she is a "women leader" in church teaching young women.
Such a terrible and sad thing to read, that a wife and a mother can become so loose as to make themselves vulnerable to this point highlights how weak this person is spiritually.

As a born again person, your spiritual antenna ought to be able to spot these kind of things from a yard away.

Reminds me of a particular white girl in my church, I knew she loved me and I always avoided her, we were put in a group together and she eventually got my phone number, that was when the stalking began. But having a pre-knowledge of her intentions I already knew how to handle it.

By the way I am single, so I wonder when married people who claim to be christians and have loving families behave like goats on heat without self control.
It is a shame... spits

I scoff at this sanctimonious posture. She's only human, living in a city full of sin. She got tempted and I'll score her high in the way she managed the temptation. Someone is even suggesting the husband shouldn't allow her continue with the employment that takes her out of her home. What's the meaning of that? What do you know about the family's finances? What if that job is central to their survival as a family? And who says a husband has the sole right to pick and choose the type of work the wife does? Those trying to apply the undiluted biblical standards would tell me how comfortable they would feel if their wife offers them their housemaid to sleep with (as Sarah did to Abraham) or when they suddenly lose all with their spouse only for them to turn up three days after to tell them they were swallowed by a fish for all of those three days and taken to another city for evangelism( as we were told about Jonah). I'm sure even the most faithful pastors among them would struggle with these scenarios .

I repeat, the woman is only human. I'm impressed with the way she managed the situation. These times are very different from biblical times. Even the bible has the old and new testament...

Karleb:
Everything is no about money but money also matters tho.

Don't be ashamed to it that.

Money matters a lot to those that don't have it. We all need money but there are far more important things in life than money. Money is seen as a god here simply because of the perversive poverty. Many don't have it. Most of the people that acquired it grew through extreme poverty, want and deprivation. It's therefore the most important thing to a significant proportion of the population. But that is wrong. We should work hard to earn a living but we should focus more on humanity. That's the only thing that could guarantee our survival and that of our coming generations..

Xscape1993:
I am not surprised ooo. This is what I have been saying about this evil party and some people will not accept it.

Buhari and APC have failed Nigerians..But we know where we were coming from. Jonathan's failure was so colossal we thought we couldn't sink any lower...We're between the rock and a hard place..PDP and APC..Gut wrenching mentioning those two destroyers..
But by far my biggest worry is the unguarded exchange of hateful expletives by Nigerian youths here. It breaks my heart. Do these youths understand their hateful antics here can mar their future? Instigating hate against others based on ethnicity or religion can bar you permanently from civilized countries like the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia etc..These are not things to toy with. It makes nairaland very repulsive. I get very close to crying for Nigeria each time I open a thread in nairaland...and yes, I'm a proud Igbo. We need more love in Nigeria irrespective of tribe or religion

JosephXavier:
Can you afford a good lawyer and continually fund him for over two years?

If you have eye witness that can attest to what you said and you should have taken pictures of the bullion van too

You can get justice against government institutions but you must have the funds to pursue your case

I don't think the biggest issue here is fund. To me, it's evidence. The OP doesn't seem to have any. No picture. No evidence, unless perhaps the incident was captured on CCTV, which the OP did not state. Some are talking about insurance. Yes, it makes things easier but not necessarily more straight forward. Your Third Party insurance won't fix your car in the event of an accident. It's for the offending party if the fault is not yours. If you're at fault, you're on your own. Comprehensive insurance will, but they would still thoroughly investigate the accident. So same questions being asked would still apply. If the fault is not yours, they won't pay but they may help chase the faulty party. If you were at fault, they would fix but would raise your on renewal.

BobPRESS5:
So which is the best alternative!?.
To go meet your insurance company or hold the the perpetrator to repair your car?

Your insurance company would not repair damage not caused by you. The person at fault, intentionally or not should do the repairs. Ideally his or her insurance company would carry out the repairs. The first step in an accident is for the two parties to exchange insurance details. The usually increases after such repairs. It goes into a database so that even if the person decides to change insurer, the history would still be accessed and a higher still applies. But here, most drivers have fake insurance and so negotiate an out of pocket payment in the event of an accident. No road has the right to impose costs, injuries or inconveniences on others.

madridguy:
If not the wicked and heartless leaders we have, I don't see any reason married women should be working.
Women are home maker, they are to be at home looking after the kids.

Women are no longer staying at home again due to the harsh economy and the results is what we are seeing in our society of today.

Are you for real? So women don't work in countries with good leaders? SMH! I've seen some silly posts on nairaland, but this one takes the cake..

Totilopussylick:
So it's a crime to give out what you can afford

Enemies of progress

Public safety overrides every other consideration. The organizers of that event were reckless and thoughtless to the point of criminality..

No one has really answered his question. He needs an ownership experience from someone, not stereotypes and prejudices. The poster appears to know all about the Fords and Toyotas, he's only asking for someone with experience with Chinese trucks so he can weigh his options..

wirinet:


Sorry you feel that way, but crypto is the future of finance. We are just scratching the surface of DiFi, blockchain technology and crypto currencies. If you don't obtain the necessary education and skills, you will be left behind.

After saying that, it was not because of crypto that the Sister got scammed, it was because of greed. It could have been other financial instruments like stocks, forex, gold or even wash wash dollars.
People have been scams with agriculture pools, ponzi schemes and online shopping.
The lesson here is never invest your money in instruments or businesses you have no knowledge of. Crypto sounds exotic and sophisticated to lots of people and so easily falls for scams using cryptos as instruments.

If those crypto merchants tell their gullible victims the whole truth about crypto, 99% of them won't stake their money in it. Many see it as a way of making fast money, others are made to believe they can get monthly returns from a lump sum crypto investment..These are the stories the crypto scammers tell their victims. Many don't know any better. 90% of crypto merchants in Nigeria are fraudsters so advising one to stay away from all of them is not out of place.

Patrioticbreed9:

I thought as much.

But a key rule in life acording to my mentor is "to get rich you must learn not doubt everything" and the principle is actualy working for me, the only thing is that you must not stake what you can't loose.

Not necessarily a good rule. If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably is. To be rich, you run risks, but you must understand what the risks are. Believing cock and bull stories won't make you rich. It would only lead to misery.

That's a country where business is real. Competition takes place and businesses are looking for innovation and cutting edge to get ahead. My experience with interviews in developed countries is that no one actually asks for your qualifications initially. They read your cover letter and CV ( no doubt low grade won't be a very good advert, but graduating from an Ivy league institution is) and invite you for an interview if they consider you a good fit. You're hired purely on your performance at the interview. Your certificates are needed for documentation after you've secured the job. .

In Nigeria, in contrast, businesses are not necessarily competing on equal keel. They need you to just do routine jobs requiring no special skills or innovation. Most businesses here thrive on government patronage rather than innovation and are more inclined to employing people that have connections in government, which is why you have like Politically Exposed Persons'...The richest person in Nigeria deals on pedestrian goods like sugar, flour, cement etc..Richest men elsewhere are innovators like Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Bill Gates etc..I'm not aware of any innovative product that came out of Nigeria .

HeavenlyBang:


Who even parks without straightening their wheels anyway.

...Lol! ...as it turns out, in driving training in the UK, you're advised to turn your wheels towards the kerb when parking so that if the vehicle rolls off for any reason, it would move towards the kerb and get stopped by it, rather than moving straight and perhaps hitting another vehicle..So where does this tip leave Benz owners?

The guy should have known the girl better before embarking on that potentially embarrassing adventure. He obviously didn't. A girl that makes no particular choice but demands the most expensive drink available, obviously has self esteem issues. .. or the man may have boasted about his wealth and the woman was only being cynical. Secondly, you take a girl to a location you can afford. There are locations you are fairly certain you can afford any bill they throw at you. Finally, a confident man could very easily ask how much that costs and tell the lady politely he didn't prepare for such an outlay..She could offer to , make another choice or simply walk away. If she walks away you're better off without her anyway..The waiter could still have mentioned any affordable drink as their most expensive, seeing the guy's uneasiness at the strange request..

backbencher:


That's immature, alligator.



Good, so....

,

It is, because consent.

If you think having sex with a drunk is ok...then...you need to change your thinking.

I've treated drunk people. They are sick, and at a certain level, alcohol can kill. Also, they've lost control of many of their bodily controls which a round of sex can cause trobule for.

Plus, I'm not here to argue for men or women's rights. I'm here to say that having sex with a drunken person, who is not in control of his or her faculties is WRONG.

We can agree to disagree here.

Good evening, alligator...or should we say, pterodactyl?

@ the bolded...That's key for me. However, not all drunken people are in that category. There are levels of intoxication. And I agree with you that no one should have sex with anyone drunk or not, who has no mental capacity to make decisions.

backbencher:


1.Why should anyone regardless of gender have sex with a drunk person?

Is the woman in your question madt?

2.Consent, presumably happens either way.

Anyway, anecdotes does not a law make....



Yeah, which is why if you can't do the crime, don't do the crime.




Having sex with a drunk person is hardly consensual...whatever the gender, religion, etc.

P.S You guys should stop living in a world where you think everyone is out to get you because of your gender. You are sounding like the male version of some of these femminists here....

Sorry, cupcake, I'm not in any way holding brief for Robinho. He deserves his comeuppance..It's bad enough for anyone to play these types of silly games. Robinho doing so, given his status, is the pits. But I don't think having sex with someone drunk is illegal. Put in another way, I don't think one or both parties being drunk in itself makes sex illegal. Couples routinely go out, get drunk, have sex and sleep off without incident. I'm aware there are cases of date rape where a woman arrives with no intention of having sex but gets plied with drugs and alcohol and raped. That is clearly criminal. For me, what happens when you're with a drunk person should be dictated by common sense. One could be inebriated but still retains enough consciousness to consent to sex. The law recognizes this, which is why I've seen no law anywhere in the world that criminalizes sex with a drunk person. Having said all these, I'll always err on the side of caution in these mstters. Any suggestion that a woman has no capacity to give consent, would always set the alarm bells ringing for me.. I'll certainly not gamble!
