Hello Honda users , i intend getting a Honda baby for uber like business here in porthacourt, i will like the house suggestion on how durable Honda baby boy 1998 - 2002 can be for the job. i also came across the article on the solution to Honda problems , i need to know who has done it,

Honda is a popular car manufacturer in the world. It has
won several awards in Japan, Europe and North America.
Nigerians love Honda vehicles and it is one of the most
driven brands in the country. We love it so much that we
gave different brands names like: ‘Halla’, ‘bull dog’, ‘Baby
Boy’ etc. As you are reading this blog, you probably own a
Honda, know who has one or planning to buy one. I am a
Honda user too so I am not telling you what I saw
elsewhere.
Honda cars are good but the major nightmare the owners
face is the lower ball joint pulling off, sometimes at odd
hours, U-turns, roundabouts, highways and so on. Honda
also make luxury Acura versions that some have ball joint
problems. Below is a list of, but not all, honda that have this
problem:
1. ACCORDS and Acura equivalents.
a. Fourth generation (1990-1993): Honda “hala”
b. Fifth generation (1994-1997) Honda ”bulldog” and the
European spec. Honda ”Bullet”
c. Sixth generation (1998-2002) all with N. America spec.
Honda ”Baby Boy”
d. Seventh generation (2003-2007) all with N. America spec.
Honda ”End of Discussion”
2. CRV’s, HRV’s etc
Note that not all Hondas have this problem and it has been
corrected in latest models (2009 and above).
Honda City does not also have this problem. 95% of
mechanics do not have this piece of information I am
sharing free of charge.
Prior to reading this blog, you may have tried to stop this
problem to no avail. You may have read materials that say
that OEM ball joints are of high grade, regular interval
replacement is required but all these sound expensive to
me. As a Nigerian with scarce and tight financial
obligations, you need a cheaper but lasting solution to your
problem. I carried out a research in mechanics and
stumbled upon the idea I am about to share with you. I
have seen people do it- even my neigbour, and are happy. I
am the first person to blog this. After reading this, you can
drive you Honda car with rest of mind. The steps are:
1. Take your car to a GOOD mechanic in your area or you
can do it yourself (Like me)
2. After he loosens the hub from shock, tie rod etc,
3. Fix a new original ball joint (some recommend OEM) but
for me, the one you use is ok.
4. IMPORTANT! Wait! Before he fixes the hub to the shock
etc, take it to a panel beater (most mechanic workshops
have one) and ask him to ‘TACK’ (weld just enough to hold
it) the head of the ball joint in three equidistant points,
where it attaches to the hub as illustrated in the picture
below:
5. Give your mechanic to fix the hub. Go for alligment if
neccesary. Thats it! Lafon! Ogwusigo! O kpari! Shikina!
N.B: If the ball joint goes bad [I mean when you feel it in ur
steering] after some time, a panel beater has to chisel out
the welded three points on ball joint attached to the hub,
before you can remove it from hub and replace with a new
one and repeat the process.
Below is a video to illustrate how to replace a Honda
Accord ball joint but the tacking (step 4) isnt included:

Sad. That road literally calls to you to floor it, coupled with all the factors you've listed, I can see how it's a death trap.
