If you have an eye on fuel economy (which you must in this period), you can give the Ford Focus a consideration but it looks overpriced to me. You may not get anything close to that value if you plan to resell in the near future. There are sedans of the same price with same fuel economy that will give you a higher value in the future. The 2015 Hyundai Elantra and Sonata are equally good. Didn't want to mention Toyota since they are not on your list.

Both MDX and Crosstour are Honda vehicles. They are comfortable with good equipment and high ride height. The prices are good and they have good second hand value also. I have used both but fuel economy is like your regular SUV. Always needing more fuel. Mechanics are available.

The Buick Enclave is a sturdy vehicle. But you only see a few on the road. While I do not condemn it, you may struggle with competent technician for vehicles that are not too common on the road. The parts for these American vehicles are certainly available but I will thread with caution since countless more practical options are available.

The LR2 has reigned past though parts are also available. If you must use a Land Rover then be prepared to get competent technician for it and not your typical roadside mechanic. It's also not a vehicle for a first timer. You may be discouraged with expensive parts.

The G35 is a Japanese luxury for Nissan. Parts and mechanics are very much available. This vehicle was very popular about 10 to 12 years ago. It's a big engine no doubt, a bit fuel thirsty but not too much beyond the ordinary. I think the price is good too.

This model of Ford Edge is very common and the quoted price is very good. Do your maths well for an SUV based on the distance you commute being a first timer. Fiel price is not smiling. If you like it go first it because of the price.

I cannot comment on the Malibu and the Chrysler.

Rest well gallant man, even if this is your only life achievement, it's more than worth it sir.

ML550 not ML350. This is uned used car. Still clean though.

Please is this car still on sale for 2 years of advert on Nairaland?

I used the Crosstour about 10 years ago. It's a good machine. Accord as Honda's flagship is also good very good. There may be a few bells and whistles in the Crosstour that may not be in the Accord Could. The Crosstour has a good ride height, firm with AWD and much roomier which incidentally may make it look a little too big for an 18 year old. But it is fuel thirstier particularly of its the V6 even with its VCM technology. Accord is good, but a 2 door is a no for me particularly if you move around with friends.

But most importantly, 4.5m can only get you the Nigerian used of these vehicles. As a first time buyer you need to shine your eyes.

Because you can easily tap light for free from the part where the wires are hidden. That is what is called bying of meter.

I feel her pain...
You can try some of the following:
1. Let her know she still have you to live for. Give her hope of your good future and what is in stock. Tell her uou need her to witness your wedding, graduation, take care of her grandchildren etc. Give her a general hope of a bright future ahead of the rest of you.
2. If you guys have a relative invite the one she loves being who should also not be an extra burden on you.
3. If she attends church, invite your pastor or anyone she respects in church to be coming to check on her regularly. A good pastor knows how to inspire hope in helpless situations such as this.
4. While you will have to travel, make an arrangement for her to stay with a lovely relative and probably with children around for some weeks. Sometimes a change of environment where there activities that can distract can facilitate healing from loss of a loved one. Generally she shouldn't be lonely.
5. While she's away, pack all the items your brother used - if possible give out the clothes, books, accessories etc. Don't keep anything other than a few pictures. Hes not going to come back for them. Please do this in her absence. Keep pictures and other memorabilia far from her.
6. Anytime she's crying or sobbing, don't her to mourn, be firm but do not shout at her. Pretend like you have truly moved on, even if you haven't.
7. Finally, always pray together. Your belief in God being supreme in every situation, good or bad, allows both of you to submit yourselves to his will.

May God heal you both. It may take time, but she will eventually heal.

Depriest2020:
The cyber center where she checked and printed that result should be investigated too.

At over 19 years of age, this girl is not as young as being protrayed. She knew what she did. The annoying thing is that she's hell bent on lies thereby wasting peoples resources of time and efforts that can be used for other productive activities.

For those who may not know, this girl already checked and saw her results via SMS which is the first thing that all candidates do before she went to generate the fake result and awarded herself 362, 2 marks above the original top scorer who scored 360.
The effrontery in going to the Commissioner, Innosson and the rest. If at the end of the investigation she is found guilty then should be punished by the law.

DamnnNiggarr:


I've ed the app, and I've gone through the app.

While I went through the app, I noticed the following;

1. the app doesn't have any option for inserting "date printed" on the top right side, but the result in mmesoma's possession, has date at the top right corner.

2. The app was developed for one Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle with the registration number 11231597AC, but still, the barcode still displays 138 when scanned.

3. Is there any other app that inserts "date printed" at top right corner?

The "date printed" was separately printed after generating the result from the app. You don't need a special app. Corel Draw, Microsoft Word or any other text typing app can do it with little skill. If you look at the girl's result you will notice that they just squeezed in the text in the little space available. Even the month "May" was written as "may". The entire text on that date has encroached unto the space for the next line. The "p" in printed almost touching the "l" in Results. No proper alignment all because it must look like JAMB's result slip which she didn't realize was last used in 2021.

Happened to me. Email me so i can explain

We will all be glad to learn from your experience so we know what to do in the situation instead of requesting for private mail. This thread is for knowledge sharing.

meljoe:
He’s in the uk . There is date for this early . Currently in June

I missed that. He should be fine then.

[quote author=Akinloyefemi post=121966827][/quote]
Yes! Please to update your appointment profile with the new application number. If you got a new port since then you also need to update these info.

mrsnoname:
Hi everyone, I have a question. I’m in uk and I am applying for a business visa (job related ) to go to USA for a conference which takes me 100 days. However, I am skeptical of putting 100 days as days I will spend in the USA in my ds-160. I’m thinking of just doing 2 weeks or 3 weeks. Has anyone been in a situation like this. What’s the best option, include 100 days? Would it be a problem to VO. Or should I just do 2 weeks.

From experience, it is the border officer at the airport that determines how long you will be allowed to stay in the US. For my last visit, I was given 5 months at the border meanwhile i needed just 3 weeks for vacation.
So if you have a document that details the schedule for the training, I suggest you provide a full disclosure based on what is stated there and also provide the document during your interview. But I must add that there will be need to update your application with new dates of the training when the time comes. Right now dates are no longer available at any location for in-person visa interview until like middle of next year 2024.

Good day house.
Sorry to bother the house,
Please i just want to find out if there is a way out, I was trying to pay for US Visa fee for my wife and son, on GTB world, so after filling the information, instead of inputting my wife's date of birth, I went to put the expiry date on her port, in place of her date of birth and before I could say jack, it has already been submitted. My question is

1. Will it affect the application process.

2. Will it render that her perticuler fee useless.

3. Is there a way head office (GTB) can help me correct the mistake.

4. Should i pay for another visa fee for her.

Your quick responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Please visit GTB closest to you. They made a similar mistake on one of my kids payment. The teller told me they will send a mail but I actually cannot say to who the mail was sent. I went back to collect the receipt at close of business after the teller called me to say they have effected the correction. Though I paid in the banking hall unlike yours.

Beelaye:
Just picked up my own visa. Got 5 years as well( hubby got 5 years earlier this month). So now waiting for dates to take my children for fingerprinting. I beg let them release dates o. Been checking since 1st of March.

Congrats madam. There are dates. As of yesterday I got July 2024 in Abuja for my kids by which time we would have to start another round of renewal of port. Wahala be like bicycle.

Kayraph:
Good morning people,

Please I need help.

I have my valid US visa and I have also been able to schedule visa interview appointment for my madam and kids.

However, I have not been able to successfully to the US visa interview portal as I kept getting the below error message (attached)

I have sent mail to them and after few days they said that it has been resolved but the situation still persists.

I need to gain access to my family's profile so that I can update the form DS-160

I had this issue too. I couldn't use the new they provided. I simply used and logged in. They had also attended to my request because I requested for a separation of my wife details from my profile so she could apply for appointment by herself. She was able to continue with her appointment booking. So you may wish to do same.

My wife and I applied for renewal of our B1/B2 visa via Interview Waiver. In the past we used to book appointment as a family (just two of us together). Bu this time around we had to apply with our individual profiles.
I also want to apply afresh for my 4 kids in which case they will have to attend an interview. I will like to know if family appointment is still allowed for in-person interview at Abuja embassy. If so, can I use my eldest child's profile to book family appointment? Or does it mean I have to individually book their appointments? My eldest son will be 18yrs by June 2023. I am already aware that dates are not so available in Abuja for the rest of the year.

But come to think of it, how many people withdraws cash of 500k every week when there are other channels of payments
Besides the CBN policy says you can withdraw above the limit once you provide some certain documents.

Another Terrible Bad News!

Don't Forget, , Bring This Bad News

Guy this is someone's wife, sister, mother and friend!!!
Please stop being childish with these your useless followup lines. If you cannot show show some sympathy just keep quiet and let the bereaved mourn their dead without you rubbing it in on them.

This car is plenty in Europe. Please Lade007. He is in this forum, he will get it for you.

Please stop blaming your parents. You sounded like you were locked up inside your room your entire life. But you spent at least 16 years out of your 24 years of existence in school. You had a very good opportunity to associate with people but nature somehow happened to you, not your parents please. All I see you picking on is your inability to go out and "carry" girls like that is life achievement. When it is time to marry nature will bring your partner your way, that is why it is called suitor. It's funny how you blame pornography on your parents. Core street guys are worse, they don't only masturbate, they visit ashawo ts. if your parents had allowed you to go on the street maybe you would have fathered like 2 kids with different girls by now.
For business sense, how many graduates do parents raise to have business acumen? You even have the sense to save which is a plus. You have asked the right question of what to use the money for. You can use it to learn a skill if business is not for you. Everyone must not go into business please.
About not wanting to return home and your inability to army, I will say you just got to the crossroad of life. Almost all graduates come to this point not only you. Do a SWOT analysis of yourself. Use your strength to overcome your weakness. Focus on opportunities to deal with your threats.
Look life may have thrown lemons at you, but you can make a sweet lemonade out if it. Your case is not as bad as you painted it. Dwelling in it instead if looking into a very bright future will only complicate it.
Finally, don't cut off your source, your parents because they did no wrong. They were after your well-being. You didn't see what they saw. If you put yourself in their shoes perhaps you would do worse.
Peace.

Reply 'OKAY' if received........

I received this sms today..... pls who else received such sms and how legit it's......they said it's an NGO.
Should I go for the invite?

They are into multilevel marketing. The NGO thing is just to give it a colouration. They will take you into a cozy room, show some presentations on how someone resigned from a bank and ed their team and now living the good life and holidaying in the Bahamas. They will also show pictures of people they have helped as an NGO. At the end, they want your money, pyramid runs last last.

Calm down and listen....

Extra marital /pre marital sex ofcourse is discouraged, but we need to get to the root of what really disarmed Samson.

Before that fateful day, Samson had sex partners in almost every city he's been to ( just as many today)

Samson's fall was progressive but one thing destroyed him completely. Read on to find out…..

All the mistakes Samson made prepared him by weakening him for that final fall.

: if you fall in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

WHAT THEN HAPPENED TO SAMSON.

The same mistake Eve made, by revealing to the serpent what God told them.

Thrones are preserved by secrets.

Kingdoms are secured by mysteries.

Destiny is guarded by codes.

The moment Eve gave serpent the secret, she handed the code of the garden to the enemy.

There are covenant secrets you must defend with your life.

God is God because of secrets, there are a lot we still don't know about God.

Every nation has their secret service agency.

There are offices, companies and ministries you can never work in, until you are initiated into their secrecy, to preserve their secret.

Every destiny has a code and that's the secret of their success.

Joseph made same mistake, when he revealed to his brothers more than they deserve to know at that moment.

Stop talking too much.

Stop talking to everybody.

Stop talking about everything.

There are things God tells you that are meant for you only.

The damage the enemy couldn't do to Samson through sex, the moment he revealed his sacred covenant secret; they finished him.

Nobody should know your covenant code with God.

Preserve your spiritual ticket to Kingdom mysteries.

He that dwells in the secret place...

You cannot dwell in the secret place, until you are initiated into divine secrecy.

When Paul was caught up into the third heaven, he said he heard things which are not permitted for man to say.

If you have a leaking mouth, you are not qualified for power.

PADLOCK YOUR MOUTH ! ! !
Psalms 141:3

Great message!

But I think if Joseph was not sold by his brothers to Egypt, God's plan would not have been fulfilled.
Message is still very valid regardless.

sotech:
Good evening chief. I am working towards starting a haulage business.
Is the vw T4 good.
Which year should one buy
What's the difference between long and short chassis
Is it fuel efficient and maintenance?
What's the present price of vw T4 ( long and short)
Alternatively
Is Ford Transit ok too as regards the questions above.
Hope to hear from you soon

Haulage from where to where? Though I don't know your location. If it's long distance haulage or interstate then you may want to consider a van that gives you more space to move goods. A T4 wouldn't carry as much as a big size Ducato would. You will need to carry bigger load (not overweight please) in a long distance to compensate for the expenses. But if your plan is to get a van that can haul goods from say building material market to another location within the city or state, then the T4 is just perfect. For durability, T4 is good. It is now very common as commercial buses in many parts of Lagos and some other towns. I saw them in use all over Lagos Island. It is the model that replaced T3, that is the enduring popular rear-engined Vanagon.
The difference between long and short chassis is the length. Long chassis is about half a meter longer than the Short chassis. So it gives you more space to carry load. Also perfect if you decide to convert to enger bus.
Your best bet on price is to go to car stand where they sell. Prices are so fluid these days and I may mislead you. By the time you go to 3 places you will get a good idea. But note that there are several configurations and their prices are different. Engine type, body type, roof height, seats etc. All of these will determine price variations. Just as a guide, very clean petrol long chassis may be around 3m while the short may be 200k cheaper. Diesel models are a little cheaper.

If you are going to get the petrol then you may consider the 5 cylinder 2.5 engine. You will have about 115 horsepower to haul goods. If you want to go for diesel, I suggest you consider the 2.4 which I think does not have turbo that can stress lazy mechanics.

I sell all the vehicles listed above... Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen LT, Volkswagen T4, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper. The Ducato, Jumper and Boxer are cousins and use similar engines. But there are several options to choose from in both diesel and petrol engines. They are very good and super strong. The Ford Transit is equally good and handles very well.

What should determine your choice should be purpose which you stated, size of usual load to determine engine option that will serve, tire size and reinforcement of the shocks. Your location will also determine availability of technician and parts and even availability of fuel type in your area - diesel or petrol.

The VW LT and Mercedes Sprinter were tly developed by both companies. They share the same petrol engine but different engines for diesel models. Many mechanical parts are interchangeable. These are horses that will serve you any day.

If you are going for the Fiat/Peugeot/Citroen then go for the 2nd generation, 1996-2001. Though very scarce and expensive, the petrol versions are better considering the cost of diesel. Parts are abundant and mechanics are available if you are in Lagos. The diesel models are also still very good. Petrol is well above 4m if you can ever get while diesel is about 3m.

Ford Transit is cheaper. Petrol is also scarce but available for 2001 models and below. Perhaps the shape of the old models may be a bit too old for your type of business, all the same they are good.

The LT and Sprinter are very good and even stronger to me. Though they look similar but the sprinter is usually more expensive even from the point of import because oyinbo believe this is Mercedes. Petrol versions are almost now non-existent in the market. But their engines can be replaced with Mercedes C class petrol engine here if you must. Clean LT is about 3m+ and sprinter is a bit higher.

If your goods are not so heavy and not so big, you may want to consider a long chassis VW T4 petrol which are available in the market. Fuel consumption is much lower, maintenance is cheaper and mechanics and parts are available. I am saying this because of the current realities. Fueling the larger diesel vans could cost up to 80k for 100 liters of diesel in their big thanks. Their fuel versions are scarce and expensive. Depending on the orders you have to fulfill, you can burn 80k in just one week and over 300k in one month on the diesel vans but much lower for a T4.

Vacation is a noun as well as a verb. Don't act like you know it all next time.

SO YOU DISCOVERED THAT YOUR SISTER MAY BE SEEING A BOY AND YOUR FIRST AND ONLY IDEA OF ACTION IS TO SHOW HER LOVE LETTERS TO POPSY? YOU ALSO CLAIM THAT YOU FEAR POPSY WILL SEND HER PACKING, SO WHY THEN DO YOU WANT TO SHOW HIM THE LETTER UNLESS YOU WANT HER TO BE SENT PACKING?

YOU'RE NOT A VERY BRIGHT PERSON, SIR/MA. IF YOU CANNOT COUNSEL A TEENAGER WITHOUT DOING DAMAGE TO THE EXTENT OF LOSING A PLACE SHE CALLS HER HOME THEN I WONDER WHAT IT IS IN THIS WORLD THAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH FOR.

So you too after all the capital letters what is your advice for him?

daddymummy:




Mendy is FIFA best goal keeper and he is from Africa. So CAF which is under FIFA felt that someone who is best in the world is actually the best in his continent.


That is why they gave him the award which they called "continental best goal keeper"


that FIFA president was around, so CAF must do everything to please him.


Also Edourd Mendy actually merit the award after his penalty save helped Senegal to win the trophy.

Gabaski was outstanding, but his efforts did not make Egypt win the trophy, so he can't actually be the best.

The focus is on the person whose efforts landed his team the trophy and the person is Mendy.

So CAF knows what it's doing. Before we think of the impressive performance of Gabaski, CAF already thought of it but by their wisdom, they gave him the man of the match but not the best goalkeeper because he didn't help Egypt win the tournament.

He didn't start the tournament with the team but came in as a substitute and was at a point also substituted.


So he cannot really be the best in the wisdom of CAF.


Don't forget that CAF also has wise people the same way those people who are posting online believe they are wise.

They gave Mendy because of his five clean sheets in the tournament helping his team to win the trophy. Rarely will they give best goalkeeper of a tournament to a losing team. Forget all the long story.
