Changing the shocks is not a common occurrence here at all. May be on a car that has been driven hard a lot and has lots of miles. Let me give you a scenario. A friend of mine bought a brand new 2010 Acura MDX and shipped it straight to Nigeria with only 47 miles on it. In early 2013 his shocks were gone! He was in town and went to the Acura dealership to inquire about the shocks. The service guy said it's absolutely impossible for the car to need shocks. He said unless may be the car was dropped from a 4 story building and landing on its tires. Of coruse, he was not aware that the car was being used in Nigeria until my friend explained to him. The sales guy just could not believe it. Of course, they do not carry such items in stock, so they had to order it. The roads are just so bad in Nigeria. I can't even imagine enjoying a luxury car there. Toppytek: 6 Likes 2 Shares |

oyb: u never see where some car users dey economise... just this afternoon a man came asking for used engine oil otherwise known as Black oil.. he said he's gonna use for his car's gears. people just find it difficult buying things that are needed by their cars. it's not our fault oo .. the wish of our customers is our command .. 2 Likes |

FrankNetter:No truer words than this, you've hit the at the very spot, I've always seen myself as a person in transit in this country, I don't engage in all the ruckus about Nigeria because I just believe am here for a while, one day, just one day, I'll get to leave here. I know this. 27 Likes 4 Shares |

I got to work on an asylum application of a Nigerian woman and her child. Their story was quite touching, but still needed some details from her.. |

CFCman: Asylum on what grounds bro? They're hunting her from the village? |

FrankNetter:lol. So true. It's just similar to how pigs find comfort in mud and dirt. If one has never left the shoresof nigeria to EU or America, you feel all is normal and well. EgunMogaji:Hmmm. The graduates would come back to the country to revolt against the government that sent them there, so they would rather keep them in the dark. EgunMogaji: I just got a used car from a car dealer. The car just ran out of its 5 years original manufacturer warranty, so the dealer was somehow able to convince me to get an expensive after market warranty. It was later i discovered that this after market warranty firms also order used part for cars if you succesfully make a claim. i even heard making a succesful claim is like a carmel passing through the eye of a needle. Luckily I am still in the cooling off period so i am cancelling it and sending the money to my bank to reduce the term of my car finance. If anything happens to the car which i doubt anyway as the mileage is still very low (37k) miles..i go just use a local mech and jejely order parts from a used part seller or junk yard. 3 Likes |

decode55:Some occultists killed her husband and son at their home. She discovered the crime scene, contacted the police, but the police didn't investigate the alleged murder because she "didn't have concrete proof" that the act was committed. The woman and her daughter claim that they are in danger of being killed by the occultists if they return to Nigeria. But an Immigration judge may not buy her argument cos it doesn't state whether she and her daughter would be target due to their religion, race, nationality, ethnicity etc. 1 Like |

Toppytek: The roads are bad but some Nigerian drivers are vehicle destroyers. My building site in Elebu is on a very bad road (iCast area). I drive gently and can't believe how many asshats overtake me and basically pound their cars into the road. |
