This complaint is a serious one. If ABC transport must make progress in their customer service they need feedback like this. It may interest you to know that this is actually the founding story of ABC transport. Frank Nneji travelled by road and the bus broke down and he was ill treated and he thought to himself, "this could be done better". He founded ABC transport to do it better. I listened to him on Fidelity SME forum on radio.

That said, the issue at stake is actually a demonstration of collapse of standards in Nigeria generally. ABC transport is well, part of the Nigerian society. We can see change only if we begin to demand it. But it is rather ironical that we expect perfection from others while expecting them to ignore our own deficiencies. We speak with so much anger and commit too much grammatical errors and demonstrate the worst of spelling in modern history. We dilute or water down standards by ourselves yet demand perfection from others. Watch all the posts in this thread and indeed comments from people from Nigeria all over the web. We fail to realize that what we criticize in others we also carry in us.

We call our country naija naija and we "casualise" everything we do and say. We celebrate both the perfect and the imperfect alike. We lose wisdom to distinguish. We pass same to our children and expect them to be better than us.

If this country will see change then it must begin with YOU. Be the change you wish to see.

Google Trader is not a good idea. Sounds like anti-trust to me. Many Nigerian classified websites invested heavily on Google advertising build high traffic and now they are about to enjoy the benefit, Google has decided to kill them. Nigerians are doing very well in the classified business and I dont see what value Google is offering here.
All the classified websites- Dudomart, dealfish, tradestable etc are all offering classified ads for free and with better advert templates and leveraging on Google search. What does Google want to do different here.
I expected Google to assist or partner these start-up companies since they fetch huge business returns to Google and also derive their incomes from Google.
Google Trader is not welcome. Google should compete with Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft or have they run out of ideas?

Advertiser.

Spread your net in many waters, for you don't know which one will bring in the big fish - Simon Peter.

Wise counsel.

Oh, it's actually a tradefair.

It's good to give credit where it is due. Strictly my opinion.

A shopper browsing one of your ads is linked to other ads from you. Check it out.

I'm in.

There is just order.

Wow, dudoMart.

I just placed two ads there and it's cooool and freeeeeeeee.

Wow! 2007 Cerato with 21K mileage.

I think this car is OK for the price. If you convert the 21K kilometers to miles you would get something like 13K miles. It's like an unused car! Imagine a Tokunbo (American used) with 13K mileage. I'm sure many of us here would jump at it.

I think the best way to buy a used car is to schedule an inspection so you can experience what you're buying and verify every claim of the seller. There's more to a used car than the imperical data used in advertising.

1.8m is good pricing for an automatic transmission 07 Cerato if the car is in excellent condition. Prospective buyers should just schedule inspection to clarify car's condition and why it is up for sale.

Sold! Sold!! Sold!!!

Nairalanders couldnt afford. They were pricing it like pepper.

So irrestible you forgot to put down your contact details.

Moderator, please run carfax VIN check on this VIN.

Hard bargaining so far. I feel like responding to the most popular request.

Price now dropped to 2.1 m.

Taking is now easier. Serious interests only.

I have a 2003 Honda Accord Ex L for sale at 2.1m. FULL OPTION WITH CREAM LEATHER
The only difference is the year, it's the same model and mine has got just 73,000miles
Shiped in from US just,

Please start a new thread and advertise your own car. To start a thread is very easy and free. This thread is devoted to discussions on my 2005 Honda Accord EX-L which is 2 years newer than yours.

Also note that age is not the only difference between 05 and 03. A few observable difference is that 05 contains these options which are too advanced for 2003 models:
[list]
[li]Dual zone airconditioner - this means driver can select temperature different from that the front passenger in the same car [/li]
[li]8 airbags. this extends airbag safety all occupants of the car[/li]
[li]XM radio antenna. That fancy stub on the top of the Accord that makes it intimidate others[/li]
[li]All-red rear lights. unique to 05 model year only[/li]
[/list]

All these options and features are conspicuously missing in your old 2003 Accord.

Enough phone calls, pricing and negotiations but no deals yet.

Still open and available.

Nope!

I already have it. I'm shopping for 05.

Happy sales anyway.

Well good news come to your family and your would-be hubby.

Thanx all the same.

Talking about price, babyboy is more costly.

If you're prefering the 99 Camry, be prepared to drive without side mirrors. The camries are equiped with rat-ear mirrors that are so stiff. Lagos okadas and taxi know well how to down 'em. Dont even think of changing 'em cos what you find in the market as foldable is made-in-china. They are not strong, not durable and not firm. When you speed gets to 120km/h, the ordinary wind will fold 'em. Till now American camries still do not have foldable mirror.

The last price is as stated above. The vehicle is accident-free. Buy and drive home. Good news for your wife and bad news for mechanics. Please call on phone if serious.

The VIN is 1HGCM56895A034890.

Comments are welcome but please, pricing and negotiation should be by phone.
