Any sensible person reading this will wonder how they came to conclude ipob is behind this. Or even that he actually sneaked out. He's dead, so he can't tell what happened. IPOB shot and killed a soldier and didn't take his gun. Okay.

Dunlop Elite, na baba o. 🎶🎵

sweetkev:
Bata, Dunlop tyre, Leventis all left this God forsaken country long long time ago.

Omo Aba! I hail you. Indomie generations from Aba don't even know why that junction is called Bata.

I rock am in my 70s

#1 Factory road Aba

Why the dealer's plate number still dey there? U sure say we no go hear Portable-type story later? 😁

Goddam. E be like say u be nwa Aba.

SirBunky85:
yes,mopol

Is that the "real" ES you were talking about? My mistake then. If you were the gearhead I thought you were, pure ICE would've been what you mean by "real" ES. I'm the person who made this post, and I commented that it is hybrid. I also commented that it comes as hybrid and all-electric.

Port443:


How you say what you don't know with arrogance is really funny. There will be es350h which will be a 2.5liter hybrid vehicle. Counter me with fact

You sabi am. The Junior brother died last year

SirBunky85:
this guy,uchenna erondu aka igodo was the defacto Governor during ikpeazus tenure in Abia.this same guy was responsible for denying party tickets to PDP grassroot politicians in Abia state.h even boasted of being the potential speaker of ABHA with the hope that, the PDP will win the gubernatorial elections.

My brother, this isn't a rendering. This is a finished product. Due for release later this year as a 2026 model.

SeeWahala:


So they have confirmed this as the final render of the 2026 Lexus ES series sedan? Isn't this still a prototype design?

Well, it looks TESLAish to me

It comes with both hybrid and all-electric variants. No pure ICE, though.

SeeWahala:


Sure? I will wait till it's out to be sure if I were you. Those ventless front bumpers can not accommodate the requirements for cooling a robust ICE machine.

On regular ICE vehicles, the location of that grille vent is adequate only for cooling it's transmission/gearbox cooler radiator

You'll wait forever for the "real" ES. Chai, I feel your pain 🙂. It's the end of an era, bro.

Port443:
This is EV, no combustion machine will have that grill

Modified:
Yup, I was correct, there is "e" in the name, zoom the pics

So we wait for the real es

BMW no dey hear for that one. They will get bigger and bigger

NSNO:

Please tell that to BMW

Indeed. Absent internal combustion= needles front grille.

TechCapon:
the era of big front grills is coming to an end

Yep. And now hybrid.

NSNO:
I like the design, alot more modern than the current es.

Believe it or not, this is the new ES.

Lalami, is that you? 😁

DNAProphet:

Na wa oooooooo!!! Laslas, after she don tire for runs, she go say "my past doesn't matter". One man go marry her for house and he go say, I trust my borehole wife. This na why one block my other because of my DNA test gospel. Oga, you can stop the messenger but you can't stop the DNA test message. Una wey dey marry non-virgins, una dey try abeg. When this girl is ready for marriage, he go tell her man say he's just the 3rd guy she's having it with and the other 2 guys took advantage of her.
What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news

Very funny. Even the GM cars aren't built from top to bottom in the United States. You've heard about the trade war going on right now, right? Trump's tariff on North America and Mexico, slamming 25% tariff on auto imports from Canada and Mexico, why? Is that because the US import cars from Canada? No. It's because the so-called "American-made" cars actually traverse the US/Canada and US/Mexico borders several times before the model becomes finished products. Do you know that more than half of FCA US (Stellantis), Ford, and General Motors models contain approximately 55% domestic content? The rest of the parts are sourced from overseas, including Canada and Mexico. A Tesla Model 3 is only 45% USA+Canada content and 25% Mexico. A Toyota Camry is 55% USA+Canada and 30% Japan. I'm bringing up these details because you emphasized Nigerian manufacturers outsourcing to foreign companies, which supposedly makes us unworthy. You then went on to say "some of us" don't have "profound insight into manufacturing plants in the country." And you do? Have you heard about Bennie Automobile? The Bennie Strenum sports car isn't merely assembled here. The guy designed, molded, and fabricated the car here. He studied Mechanical Engineering at the UK's University of Hertfordshire. My point, from the start, is that local talents must be relied on, trusted, tasked, and empowered for us to achieve self sustenance. You'd rather give the money to foreign companies? For how long? When will it end? Task Bennie with building a high-security vehicle for diplomats and let's see if he says "we can't do it." He'll ask for time and go to work. That's how a nation grows and stops being so danm reliant on outsiders and pseudo-colonists. And "some of you" boast of loving Nigeria.

JagabanBorgu:

Do you really know anything about manufacturing in Nigeria?
Nigeria is a country where local companies bring foreigners to spearhead productions such as production of vegetable oil.
I would rather import the product than give it to a local company that will end up paying foreigners to do it.
It's that simple, most of u arguing have no profound insight into manufacturing plants in the country.

I think you've brought grossly underestimated us. We may not have a conglomerate as big as GM, but I'm pretty sure we can build cars fit for a president.

JagabanBorgu:

Local companies don't have the capacity to build a presidential vehicle for Nigeria, unless you are saying we have a manufacturer that's as astute as General Motors.

Na now I know you dey seriously with this your advocacy campaign o. Ah, see arguments. And ma true you talk. But why I no dey share the good news again?

Lalami3232:

People will say, no advantage in marrying as a virgin. Others will say, virginity doesn't guarantee been a good wife. Now make i analyze am for una:
1. If your babe/GF/wife/fiancee had sexual discipline, she for no open leg upandan for other men.
2. If virginity doesn't guarantee been a good wife, does sleeping with multiple men guarantee it?
3. You don't need to spend money on DNA test, especially for your first child. But when you marry a non-virgin, bros it's a must
4. She doesn't know if you're the best on bed or not because no competitors. But your non-virgin woman know say Tunde and Ismaila sabi knack you
5. You tend to trust her 100%. If she couldn't open legs upandan when she dey single, bros E go hard for her to start in marriage.
6. You no need sexual enhancing drugs to satisfy her engine, but with a non-virgin, oga you need tramadol and burutanshi
7. No fear about her womb working or not.
8. No fear of ex trying to get into her pant one last time.
Bros, the advantage of virginity is too big abeg. Its just like using a new car to compare a tokunbo.... For those of you who are non-virgins a.k.a boreholes, I sincerely hope you make amends by educating your children about the danger of premarital sex.
What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news

Oga you're very very very lucky oooooooo. Treat her like a queen because you're eating fresh food and not stale food

Americans don't import their "specifications" and "tailor-made." I'm sure we can do the same. Unless you're saying local companies in Nigeria can't build VIP-speced models? Is that what you're saying? ing homegrown manufacturing is why GM now has an arm called GM Defense. They just recently supplied Qatari government with the American made Suburban Shield armored SUV.

JagabanBorgu:

Official cars of the president of a country comes with specifications and are tailor made, you are so f00Iish u think you are wiser than those in charge of that.
Same FG is the biggest buyer of Innoson vehicles, f00Is are aIways smart when sitting in the crowd.

Donkeys ba?

Dogalmighty17:


You are a slowpoke. No one is scared of Russia. A country that needs north korea to help out can't be taken seriously. They can't even afford military logistics anymore and are depending on donkeys to move men and supplies to the front. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Again, you deserve a cold beer. I could never have said better.

God1000:
Donald trump should go to hell, he's a big embarrassment and a disgrace to his office, you don't talk to another president that way

I have never seen a President act so disrespectful to a President of another country in my life. zelensky should have walked out on him.

Trump is a vile bully, his behaviour was appalling, Zelenskyy has shown strength and dignity that trump could only dream of

You deserve a cold beer. Trump has no class. Zero class. Not even Putin would behave this way. Why treat the man like this in front of the camera? They invited Zelensky to the White House to intimidate him into g away his country to America. Is it just balls or is Trump roundly deluded? How did Ukraine become the villain in this story? What I didn't get is why the entire Europe can't sustain Ukraine without America? I don't get it?

royalfly:
Why? The Ukraine president is a president, I wonder how the true Ukrainians feel now seeing thier head talked to like this. Can Russian president be talked to like this by Vance, what ever you do in this life, depend on God and yourself, this really hurts, trump is trying to stop a 3rd world war, its there something that is not being said about thus issue. Great America is defending Russia for what exactly, trump and his folks just made it look like they are scared of Russia or they are Russian friends. In my layman opinion zelensky has shown strength and resilience. History will this. I pray trump reconsider this issue because most countries will loose trust for America after this. I am for peace but not on this oppressive . Is diplomacy about the truth or manipulation.

Someone reading this right now is thinking about how to replicate to scam to scam other people. whatever you do will follow you just .

Received this email from an old plug I used to have back in Jonathan's time, when small-scale importation still made sense. Now, though, I'm not sure this will be profitable. What do you think?

Fine. I indulged you and rephrased the prompt. I got this answer:

Counterfeit food, drinks, and drugs are a widespread problem in Nigeria, and no single tribe can be definitively labeled as the most notorious. However, if we look at historical trends and law enforcement crackdowns, certain areas and business networks have been linked to the production and distribution of fake goods.

The Igbo tribe, known for their strong entrepreneurial spirit and dominance in trade, has often been associated with counterfeit products, including fake drugs and substandard goods. Cities like Onitsha and Aba—major commercial hubs in the Southeast—have been flagged multiple times by NAFDAC and other agencies for housing illegal factories producing fake pharmaceuticals, beverages, and food products. That said, this is more about business practices in unregulated environments rather than a cultural trait of the Igbo people themselves.

At the same time, counterfeit trade is not limited to the Southeast. Lagos (predominantly Yoruba), Kano (Hausa-Fulani), and other commercial centers also have significant markets for fake goods. The demand for cheap alternatives, weak regulatory enforcement, and corruption all contribute to the problem.

So, while the Igbo-dominated commercial hubs have been frequently implicated, it's not about ethnicity—it's about opportunistic business practices in poorly regulated markets. The real issue is systemic, not tribal.

Check my prompt, i told it to be brutal honest without filter..

When you ask like the way you did, chatgpt will definitely try to be diplomatic in response.. and again, go and use and stop using free model

You don’t have to call it fabricated, if you want me to take it down, I can…

And ChatGPT or no ChatGPT, that’s the truth and we all know it… the hub of fake drugs and foods in Nigeria is Aba and Onitsha

Some people are experts in twisting the truth. Turning things upside down. Calling Black White. Ultimately, truth will prevail. Even your chatgpt screenshot is fake.

Omoawoke:
Many onye billlioanires go turn onye povertynaire and onye prisoner


If not for evil and callousness, you a human being will make things that can destroy a whole nation just because you wan chop life…
Making and dealing with fake drugs and foods is nothing different from genocide

Indeed Past. Eze has a strange and overwhelming rise in the Ministry of Christ especially in Africa.


There's probably a man or woman who was called to do this, but that person was not paying attention. Or the person was more interested in other things. And the person got ed by. God sends the one who is available and willing to go. He may not even had imagined by his wildest imagination that this would be happening today. But God can use anything for greatness, even "ordinary" prayer we've all heard a million times before.

Daejumong:
Pastor Kumuyi’s wife, Esther is a selfless and perfect partner and friend! She married Kumuyi 14 yrs ago at the age of 65. She was never married before then and doesn’t have kids of her own.

She is 79yrs old now and still standing strong beside her husband(83).She follows him everywhere doing crusades and winning souls for Christ together!
She doesn’t bother about having biological kids through IVF

How do you know this? You're not in her head. I understand the iration and a woman of virtue is worthy of praise, but you can't really know what's going on in her head.

but rather concentrated on having millions of spiritual kids who would be found worthy of making heaven!

I salute you mummy Esther. You are a true general and defender of the faith! Your selflessness and commitment to the ministry of your partner is exemplary. I would suggest you take more time to mentor and build more women especially the younger generation(gen-Z’s) who desperately need quality Christian mother figures like you!

It is indeed very rare to see a tall,beautiful, well educated, UK based Christian Nigerian woman to keep herself untouched till 65yrs of age.

The truth is, some times, it's lack of opportunity that keeps someone a virgin for that long. But then again, I don't know. I'm not her and I'm not God. Only God and her knows what really happened.

Thank you for submitting yourself completely to God and helping your hubby to fulfill his ministerial duties! God bless you.

I think pastor Kumuyi deserve more iration in this context. He's the man who lost his wife in an advanced age and chose to remarry to a woman around his age gap, a woman who's never been married. A woman from her own church. That's practicing what you preach and it shows his dedication to the word of God. He could've easily remarried to a much younger damsel who will rush to marry him for obvious reasons. Instead he chose to marry a 60+ years old Christian woman who has never experienced marriage in her life and may never experience it if the pastor hadn't married her. Now they can grow old together in the service of God. I bet pastor Kumuyi already noticed that woman's dedication to God before asking for her hand in marriage.

Sounds like you have a good car maintenance culture. I laughed about the crude oil part, though. Nawa for people o.

Dtruthspeaker:


I do not say that they are stupid for stating it but what I said was that I read the arguments for and against and the analysis in between them. And I learnt a lot and I carried out my decision on it.

Which is why I am happy to report my findings and to point out that those who said that if we do not follow the manufacturer's specifications, our engines would get damaged are wrong.

I have used different types of oils which my oil and parts seller and mechanics says is ok as they have used them in other vehicles and my vehicles are 12years now and they are still working perfectly and always ready for travel.

And the key from that argument is service when due for obviously Nigerians only change oils when they want to travel, which means that the oil can be there for a year or 2. I once bought a Nigerian used car for my brother in law and the engine oil we drain was crude oil. The engine hole was brown black and even after we flushed the engine and put fresh oil, the fresh oil immediately became brown like oil that has already run 3months. So why would there not be problems with the engine?

For me, once my oils change from gold to brown I am already buying down its replacement and I even keep a book to remind me of when my last oil change took place, so that I would not be deceived by the fact that my engine sounds fine and has not yet given me problems.

Hmm. I disagree. If the cap recommendations don't matter, why do automakers do it?

Dtruthspeaker:
Let me spoil the thread.

After I read all the arguments here ing cap recommendations and I decided to ditch the cap recommend, I am happy to report that my 04 CRV

https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/5614792/drove-home-discharged-engine-oil#85518848

is now 12yrs old and 8 yrs back when it rejected Quaker 5w30 after I had used Mobil xhp when I was waiting for my Quaker to arrive, I have used many different oils and everytime mechanics always complain that my engine is still new ooo. See as e dey steam.

So, I dare to say that the cap recommendations does not matter provided you change your oils at the appropriate times.
