7 Things I Would Check Before Paying For A Used Car In Nigeria - Car Talk

  Buying a used car is not just about finding one with clean paint, a good interior and an engine that sounds fine. Some expensive problems are not obvious when you first see the vehicle. If I were helping someone inspect a car before payment, these are seven areas I would want checked. 1. Engine condition: Does it start easily, idle smoothly and run without unusual knocking or excessive smoke? 2. Transmission: Does the gear engage properly? For an automatic, does it shift smoothly during a test drive? 3. Chassis number: Does the number on the vehicle match the relevant vehicle documents? 4. Accident history: Check for uneven panel gaps, unusual welding, overspray and signs of major structural repairs. 5. Cooling system: Does the temperature remain normal during the drive? Any coolant leaks or signs of overheating? 6. Suspension and steering: Listen for knocking sounds and notice whether the car pulls to one side or vibrates unusually. 7. Documents and ownership: Confirm that the s...

Segun Showunmi’s Tinubu File: Five Policies That Turned A Critic Around. - Politics

Image
  SEGUN SHOWUNMI’S TINUBU FILE: FIVE POLICIES THAT TURNED A CRITIC INTO “SAUL BECAME PAUL” In a remarkably candid interview on Nigeria Unfiltered , opposition politician and longtime PDP chieftain Segun Showunmi sat across from presenter Olabode Roland and did something increasingly rare in Nigerian politics: he explained, policy by policy, why a man who had fiercely criticised President Bola Tinubu in 2023 had gradually reassessed the administration. Roland- the erudite host of Nigeria Unfiltered repeatedly pushed Showunmi to explain the contradiction of remaining an opposition politician while openly supporting Tinubu’s continuation in office—and Showunmi’s answer was essentially: LOOK AT THE POLICIES. His words were extraordinary: “ If what is on the table today is anything to measure by, miles, Bola Tinubu is better than them. Look at the policies. Let’s break it down. ” And break them down he did. First: PETROL SUBSIDY. “ Do I really think that this country… can do with payin...

Ogun Needs Spatial Sovereignty, Not Lagosian Paternalism - Kehinde Sogunle - Politics

Image
  The Fallacy of the Border Messiah: Why Ogun Needs Spatial Sovereignty, Not Lagosian Paternalism Director-General, Ladi Adebutu Campaign Organisation (LCO), former Commissioner for Finance, Ogun State A recent intervention published in The Daily Crucible, titled “Ogun Works, Lagos Eats and Yayi’s ITESIWAJU Requite,” has attempted to reframe the complex political economy of our border corridors as a novel justification for an imported political messiah. That piece, circulated within the echo chambers of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi), presents the historical fiscal tension between Ogun and Lagos as an unexamined discovery that can only be resolved by transposing an outsourced administrative model across our borders. This analysis serves as both a strategic correction and an informational response to that narrative, stripping away the revisionism to confront the documented realities of sub-national governance, regional spatial planning, and fiscal sovereignty. The proposit...
