Car Talk / Re: Between Toyota Corolla And Toyota Matrix by Timagex(m): 1:22am On Feb 03
Louiscars:
They are quite similar/ identical vehicles, you wouldn’t go wrong with any of them, quite reliable if they’ve been previously maintained by whoever used them.
A bad note about both vehicles is they are prone to theft or being broken into.
Another note is they are older vehicles so must of them have a higher mileage, now that isn’t bad but there might be one or two things you might need to do to put in shape

You said it all..

Chai ! Oga Your Description Na Second to one ooo.

Honestly you are Changing My thought ooo.

But Another thing is this Jagaban Period .. Fuel Price , Final Question, Is Mercedes Fuel Economical like Toyota ?

Cars were made for different individuals with different needs. If fuel economy is top of your priority, kindly stick with matrix and corrola counterparts. To maintain and fuel a Mercedes is not equivalent to Japanese counterparts.

Can you Share the Experience that Stood Out ?

Mercedes has this luxury feeling that you can’t get in other Japanese cars. The balance, the grace, the comfort and the confidence it gives you. A very special old Mercedes Benz is even called a “classic “ Can you call a Camry a classic?

I will come back when this hits front page.

I drove a 2005 c230k once, I swore that day that, I would buy it. I have driven 2012+ Toyota and Honda cars, but, the Mercedes experience still stood out!!!

If I no buy Benz, Wetin I gain😁

Politics / Re: Photos And Videos Of The Commissioning Of The Bola Tinubu Barracks, Abuja by Timagex(m): 7:27pm On Jan 23
I know many people might not notice, but, the image quality is appalling. It looks like the photographer overexposed the shots and then attempted to reduce it by dragging down the curves slider on photoshop. That is why the colors look blackish. The photographer in me is not happy.

Very low quality work from the presidential media team.




But, the structures are nice. 👍

Very good car, I would recommend it to a first timer. Just pay attention to the warnings on the dash and no short cuts to fixes, use quality oils and don't let any rewire cut wires and use a wire in place of a fuse, you will enjoy the car.

Thanks so very much sir.

No issues with that car. Just get a foreign used one. Another thing, you will have to increase the engine fan speed by 0.5 or 0.7 because of the engine heat on the AC compressor, besides this, it is a fantastic Supercharged straight inline-4 1.8L beast on the road and can outlast a few other brands in its range.

Thanks so much for this.

How long did you use yours before selling?

I've used BMW e46 for over 15 years with no major repairs. I drive it from Warri to Kaduna and back, ones every two to three months. Most of the parts are very cheap and durable.

Would you recommend the e46 for a first timer?

Religion / Miracle For Sale!! by Timagex(m): 9:33am On Dec 08, 2024
Hello everyone! Happy Sunday to you all.

I was opportune to attend the 30th anniversary celebration of a particular church in Ibadan a while ago as a photographer. People who attend these anniversaries know how they aggressively use it for fund raising. The program was going smoothly, but, something happened and it caught my attention.

The pastor that did Mc for the program at a particular time told the congregation that, anyone who has a special prayer point should come forward, touch and hold the garment of the general overseer and pray with it. He even made reference to the time when the bleeding woman touched the helm of the garment of Christ Jesus in the Bible and became whole. But, there was a clause! You guessed it already? If you think it is money, then, I can confirm to you that, you are indeed correct. The starting price was a thousand naira. People started coming out, held the helm of the agbada of the general overseer and prayed fervently for some seconds. It was later reduced to 500 naira. Some parents even gave their children as low as 200 naira just to kneel down and pray while holding the agbada. Most of those kids didn’t even know what to do. They just knelt down, held the agbada and looked on.

I like to assume that, I am a Christian, but not the churchy type and I must say I was somehow embarrassed on behalf of the gospel. These kind of scenarios were definitely part of the reasons I withdrew from church related activities.

My question is, why must people pay to receive “blessings/miracles” from God? What is the necessary connection between the money and “miracles? If there is another explanation by people who are used to these kind of miracles and money exchange, kindly illuminate me.
