Religion / Re: Family Tithing In The Diaspora by DMechyy: 12:31pm On May 12

Please this topic wants to tear the family apart.
.


The good news is that I won a large sum of money from my savings, tens of thousands of dollars. I intend to pay tithe, and channel most of the money to my professional development so I can earn more. I don't think I deserve that money I won, that money was from God.
She thinks otherwise.

What's your opinion?


Won

You meant you won a lottery?

Business / Exchange Rate Is Low, But Prices Are Still High. Importers Perspective by DMechyy: 9:49am On Apr 20

I have read a couple of rejoinders and plenty expert economic analyst, explaining why the dollar rates is crashing, but prices of goods are still expensive.

I find most of the analysis written like a terms paper, and with plenty statistics and really not relate able to the average Joe.


Dollar to Naira was 1,700 to a dollar, but now at 1050. But prices arent crashing. I will give an importers perspective, on why this is happening, and when to expect prices to crash.


1. Averagely, it takes goods shipped through sea. 3 months to get to Nigeria from China. And a week, for Air goods (shipping cost for air goods are too expensive), most goods come through sea.

What does that mean ; There are goods, bought, 1 month ago, before the crash in rates, that has not arrived yet. They will get here in June. Those are goods bought at 1,800 to a dollar

Before we would experience a price change, it will take between 3 to 4 months from Now. Because goods bought at the current exchange rate, will only get here by July.

What that means is, even though the rates are down, the products bought at those rates will only get here by July, practically, real price change will be experienced by then. On the condition that naira continues to gain between now and then.

2. Before the high exchange rates, most businesses were already looking for ways to increase their prices.
Oftentimes, customers do not respond well to hike in prices, as you could loose them and lose business. The high rates gave business owners no other option but to increase their prices.

Left to the average business owner, the aim is to make more profit. Most businesses were already struggling with margins. Now that rates are down, I can guarantee, prices will go down, but not to prior prices before the naira crash.

3. Greed


This is to policy makers. Your decisions have longterm effect on the economy. sad


Have you ever wondered, why just a vehicle breakdown on say, Lagos Ibadan expressway will cause 5 hours hold up?

Nothing has changed, just one lane, out of 3 is affected, but it will still cause hold up. Even when the vehicle is towed from the location, the backlog of holdups will still cause extra 2 hours delay.

You sound naive.

Alcohol makes women Hot. And you say your own drinks, and she's a virgin. The family also collects money from her, like she has a job. So people just dash her money, or borrow her because she's a virgin. Dey play. Keep playing

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Who Knows About Or Have Worked With This Company? by DMechyy: 3:07pm On Aug 22, 2023
Excell2:
Hey folks.
So I was thinking it would be better off for me to continue with my personal hustle that pays me similar amount (or slightly higher) monthly with ease and convenience, but I'm also scared that i may be throwing away a good opportunity peradventure this company turns out to be a good company that would reward in the long run.
What do you advise? Can anyone attest if this company is a good company to work for?
I'll be waiting for your urgent replies.

A company that pays 80k per month, is not, and will never be a good company.

If however, the job is a career job, where you learn skills you can use to survive after 3 months with them. Then take the job

Bosses, abeg I needs help with the cost of original serpentine belt. I just replaced one on Tuesday and by Friday it has expired and the inner began to crumble and peel off. Its for a civic 8th gen.

Check your rollers, misaligned compressor if changed, check adjuster, look out for bad grooves on pulley wheels. Even if it is fake, there is no way it will go bad 4 days

Car Talk / Re: Why Are Cars In Nigeria Appreciating In Value As The Years Go By? by DMechyy: 1:56am On Mar 12, 2022
Tombrown3:
Normally, the reverse should be the case. Like how can a car worth 3 million naira 7 years ago now be almost 8.5 million?
No modification, just the normal same car of 7 years ago with the same engine and probably the same body.

How do these things appreciate so much once they get to Nigeria, even worse the value keeps adding as the year goes by.

Same thing with laptop computers.

What's going on?

I carried one Bigboy from Ikeja to Oral Estate, Lekki, the dude was advising me on investing on crytop currencies on a long-term. He showed me so many things on his phone regarding his investment. I was flabbergasted. Young lad wey never reach 35years don buy house, get expensive cars in his garage. I saw Brabus of ₦50M and 2020 CLA Benz owned by him. Omo fear catch me. This Uber hustle cant make u rich O!. It's good as side hustle.

And what made him show me all these info was when I told him I am looking for a profitable business I can invest like ₦4 million.

Good morning bosses in the house. I bought engine for my Corolla 03 last year May and the mechanic recommended that I use visco 2000 engine oil which I have been using and engine is sound.
I recently discovered that visco 2000 is not the right engine oil for the car.

the engine seems to be shorting oil these days. I service my car at every 2,000km because I no want face engine issues again but the oil level at a service always above the second dot on the oil stick but by the time it gets to 2000km, the oil level will be below the second dot
I will like to change to HARDEX 5W-30 engine oil or any other good oil that is affordable.

If any that sells original and affordable oil here I will appreciate.

Please am I good to go? Hope change of oil won't affect my engine.

Your responses will be highly appreciated

Don't, get this instead.

You already started on a wrong footing, you might just make an already bad situation worse switching to 5w30, a thinner oil

Good evening guys I dropped a comment last week about selling my land worth #20Million then getting to have a fleet of cars some people advised that I shouldn't instead na to japa. My plans has always been to japa sha right now what I want to do is buy a tokunbo matrix say 2.5M-3M then test the waters. I have some problems I no sabi drive so I want to go to driving school to learn hopefully within a Month and I no Even to sabi Lagos roads with google map how the business now comrades I just want something that would keep me busy cos visa processing for the countries I wan japa to go be from next year

You've sold your land already,
there is no point telling you shouldn't have.

Cos with the free fall of naira in the next one year,
your 20 million would have lost value. You could have preferably wait till when you will need proof of funds before selling.

Yes, to keep yourself busy, getting the matrix is good. Preferably the corolla incase you want to sell.

Learn how to drive first, there are a lot of driving schools around. within one week, you should be able to drive to your church, then back, with your bible on the dash.

You will surely need more than 3 months to match the madness and deft to be able to drive in Lagos.

Whatever you do, don't spend more than 3 million from the 20 million. So many people will come with brilliant business ideas. You should get a couple of pms, and nudge from family members.
Don't forget the goal. Japa! Japa with at least 17m intact. You will need it.

And start the processing immediately. Don't wait, the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be!

Yes, you can start a business in Nigeria, but if you are not a business person, or have not done any business here before. Don't try it! Doing business here is crazy. You need craze.

One of my coil was bad and was shocking oil so I'd to replace the top seal as the oil shortage was getting too much... I've use about 3ltrs since my last serving as topping.

A bad ignition coil won't cause oil shortage.

Oil shortage is one of the signs when your oil is due for change.

Yes, a bad valve cover oil seal can cause oil leakage

LASESMA trailer batched my car and they tried to intimidate me. They even called their toying van to come and toy my vehicle away when I blocked the ikorodu road. I was persuaded by people to follow them to their office because a LASTMA officer confirmed what happened to the police. But on getting their office, they changed the story that I forced myself through.
Now my insurance coy AXA demanded I should bring letter from them, copy of driver's license of the truck driver and copy of their insurance which they refused.
In a situation like this, what is the best way to go about it? I have comprehensive insurance on my car.

Though I have had to handle repairs from Clients that had AXA insurance and they paid with plenty aguements and trying to lowball on repair cost. My direct response is always, see, I don't have to handle repairs. The quote I gave is best price and I ain't dropping shi shi. And tell my customer not to bulge.

Nevertheless, I have always had an inclination of things like this happening. Where it is easy to collect money, but when you want to make claims they turn to tiger and start turn turn turning you around like turn table till you vex and leave the money with them.

I like to be in charge, and not at the mercy of anybody. The Nigerian factor is turning a beautiful and necessary business practice to a nightmare.
Till further notice, saving problem money is better. May we not enter wahala. Amen
