What is their life expectancy

I beg your pardon sir, what is the life expectancy of most European drivers?

If you dont have a Twitter acct, please have one. It Will help you the day a dishonorable rider goes online to raise false accusation against you.
A certain lady, @OlukoyaBolade, went to Twitter to raise a false accusation of harassment against a driver, perhaps she thought the driver wouldn't have been on Twitter. Now that the driver has given his side of the story on twitter, the hunter has becone hunted and now the lady has locked her twitter and Instagram accts because of too many dragging.

Oga dru, I've always told you to stay away from this kind of discussion cos rumour has it that you can't drive so your judgement on this kind of matter will not count. I drive a stick shift and it is not as stressful as painted. pros are durability, cheaper maintenance, better fuel economy, cars are cheaper. cons: stress of changing gears in slow moving traffic. if you drive a modern manual car that's well maintained, your clutch and gear will be very soft hence less stress while changing gears. I just pity some drivers that can't think. you have 1m but because you want to drive a particular brand with automatic transmission, you'll go and enslave yourself and be doing hp or rental with your 1m when you can get a good car with manual transmission at that price and make money for yourself and become your own boss. I started this hustle with rentals and I first car was an 04 corolla. That car came from canada so had suspension issues. I later bought my own car which was a big daddy camry 04 little did I know that the car is notorious for shorting oil. I use I litre of oil to top up weekly, I later sold off after 9 months of usage. I bought 09 corolla for 2.1m but discovered it's a wrong tool of the hustle too cos its costlier to maintain than previous car and sold off before the AC wahala too starts. Truth be said! the 03-08 corolla is best for the hustle but it is unnecessarily too expensive and the fact that you can't have peace of mind with that especially in Lagos. it's also becoming expensive to maintain too due to costs of parts too I currently drive a brand that's not popular in Lagos, fits the hustle too, though manual but who cares!, cheaper parts, fuel economy is good, rugged, nice looking atleast to my eyes and fits the fare perfectly.

Can I get link make I go see the gist...

Olayetan:


I be wan quote am same thing,
Suffering and smiling, as if whites that built Auto to replace manual doesn’t know why they did.

I choose comfort over anything, auto that you can easily engage reverse and drive in case of any trouble.


That’s how I was at agungi around 10:45pm waiting for mainland trip, I was inside the car resting while waiting for the trip, suddenly I heard people shouting and running, immediately I put on my engine just in case of anything, a guy just came from behind to my car and wanted to hit my car windscreen with plank, I just quickly engage my car gear and put it on Drive.

I hit the guy and he fell in front of my car, I wanted to climb him and zoom off but something just struck me not to kill someone, so I quickly engage my reverse with ease and cut my hand while I engage my Drive to zoom off.

If I was driving manual, probably I will be at ladipo the next day to look for windscreen or be in a hospital receiving treatment from the beating I would have received...

chillex8:

Instead of you to admit you can't drive you are yapping about manual cars
Most long distance transporters, drive hundreds of km daily with manual transmission.
There's no special consideration for the type transmission you drive. You earn same fares.

It's even actually cheaper to operate a manual vehicle.

Another learner on the arising... .. How many Nigeria drivers can afford health care .... Come to think of itself Europeans have a better health care system than Yankee. Talkless of Nigeria .. Make I off Mic

donfortune48:


You can say AUTOs are better alternatives. But they never stopped building Manual cars.

There are later model of cars that are Manual.
Have you asked why?

Gogettaz:
You will still need the MIC, don't off it yet.
In context of you referring to life expectancy of stick drivers was not about health care system.
So don't shift the goal post.
It is no news that Nigeria healthcare system s**ks, so that one is out of the argument.
As for drivers being able to afford healthcare, it is a matter of someone letting people know that you can have a health insurance for as low as N1k per month.

ksmart027:

people wey dey drive danfo no dey complain of stress, manual is not stressful if you know how to drive it.

Mr. Man come down ... Most cars abroad na Auto ,very few people drive manual abroad o compare to Auto ....

If a car dealer buys manual cars and Auto ... the auto will sell faster before the manual.....

You're the one that needs to calm down bro, cos you've actually driven this argument out of context.

No one ever said here that manual cars are better than AUTOs. Yet that's the only point you're trying to make.

Manual cars are actually good and fun to drive especially if it is sport car ......

But manual for ehailling/ transportation shifting up and down especially in heavy traffic.. It is a no no for me and I will not recommend it to anyone

You can decide to shift the stick to neutral, and use your handbrake

Stop making it sound like Manual is so bad

My point here is manual car is not good for transportation business.. Especially in heavy traffic and I will not recommend it for anyone ..... They are tools out there to make life simple, why not use them .........
