That 3rd picture looks like Lakeshore drive. I used to work in that second building from the right (the 3rd picture). Working our of the Northwest suburbs now. I see you are really enjoying Chi-Town.

But seriously why do people write 'am not one....' instead of 'I'm not one....' Have not seen it, instead of 'I've not seen it..' is this how you write where you get paid over 1million per month?

EgunMogaji:


You know, the reality is that people have been travelling out since the days of boats to Europe.

All that I'm saying is that one can also make it in Nigeria too. I'm just trying to support those that chose to stay in Nigeria.

Americas door is always wide open. Delta Airlines dey fill their plane every night from Lagos to Atlanta. Just do it legitimately with proper paperwork is all that I'm also saying.

my bros use air France to Yankee as him reach France airport go shit, him just stand up the thing just flush him shout blood of Jesus.. ... Oyinbo bad gaaaan

Toppytek:
@franknetter how often do you change the shock absorber of your car over there compared to the frequent changing of shock absorber cos of the road irregularities here in Nigeria. Cos I learnt the main problem car suspension system is Nigeria is our poor road network. i guess there is no availability of "Tokunbo" spare parts over there. Lol

Today, I was hit by an epiphany...

I normally drive around in a toyota camry (2010 model). Though somewhat old, it gets me from point A to point B, I use it for school runs, grocery runs and for work. So, today, my elder sister used the car to go get some stuff and I had to run some urgent errands for My mum. I had to use her car, a toyota highlander (2015 model).

On driving for some minutes, I was slamming some cool jams on the stereo, I realized that my mum's car was actually better, controls and all; the steering wheel turned smoother, the brakes worked better, the car accelerated smoother. It was then it dawned on me that her car was all round better than mine, that driving wasn't just about moving from point A to point B. I would not have come to the conclusion if I had not driven her car (which I was somehow skeptical about driving at first).

That exactly is how those who have been in Nigeria all their lives will never know how a sane society works, how stuff are meant to be. We are so used to the fvckery in nigeria that we see it as a way of life, we have gotten so used to suffering and smiling. We have been so used by our leaders, go to politics section, you'd see our youths taking sides and defending these same persons who are robbing us blind, the same people who have sworn never to relinquish power, who have sworn to keep nigeria in this undeveloped and backward state. Go to romance section, my mates are posting all over social media, making noise about bbn, "teamefe! teamtboss!" they cry, I shake my head in pity. My brothers and sisters, try as much as you can to leave nigeria, hustle for a tourist visa and visit a first world country, only then would you realize how messed up nigeria is. only then will you appreciate the difference between a Camry tiny light and a Bugatti Veyron.

FrankNetter:

I've always wished that NYSC graduates, as part of their service, should be sponsored for two weeks visit to a developed country by the government.

Toppytek:
and you think someone like me will come back to this country? Never!!!

FrankNetter:


Baba, you get my point na. If your motor spoil for here, na tokunbo dem go put for you?

Toppytek:
so how often do you work on your car's suspension system?

FrankNetter:


I'll ask bro. You don forget say na yesterday I enter yankee?

Toppytek:



na true sha .. but if na Naija and d area where I dey for Lagos... u go don bring that car come my workshop cos of suspension system problem.

as at yesterday we changed one shock absorber (front left) of one ACURA ZDX which cost ₦150k and that's the highest price for a shock absorber that I've ever heard of.

EgunMogaji:


It depends.

I buy used engines all the time from UK.

Unless your car is under warranty, then you'll find out that used engine market is robust here.

Toppytek:


how?.. tell me more pls.. edakun

Toppytek:


If I tell u say this country no taya me I swear na lie. Like u said , it seems we've been accustomed to suffering and being taking advantage of, We see it as a normal thing. And that's the reason I'm always careful to have any kind of discussion that has to do with my life with anybody. Before gaining admission into the University.. I decided to go into Automobile mechanic training .. come see as people dey laugh me.... Na dat time I know say some kinds of works are not meant for Handsome guys.. I was really discouraged but my Ideal of determinism kept me going.. I gained admission that same year and today am an intern in the same auto workshop cos am studying an automobile related course which I really love and I think it'd make alot of sense if I know the practical aspects and not the theory alone. Though it not easy, I get depressed at times cos I don't even know what tomorrow holds in my dear country .. no hope for the youths or fresh graduates.. I no go relent sha .. I'll keep the ambitious fire burning.But if I fit manage get that thing wey dem call Visa after school.. make I hear say I wait..

EgunMogaji:


You should always change parts like these in pairs.

You'll have all sorts of issues on this car.

Toppytek:


I'm just an intern in the said auto workshop, i believe my master and the owner of the ride would have discussed the whole thing before bringing the car for repair..

I marveled when I saw the car thou.. cute and cool

EgunMogaji:


Well maybe you can educate them and score points
