If this is a paid partnership with BYD Nigeria, disclosing that upfront would do wonders for the credibility of @234Drive. Blurring the lines between editorial content and a commercial ad only hurts your long-term trustworthiness. Viewers rely on you for balanced analysis, not PR readouts where every vehicle is a "10/10." This is one of the biggest problems with product reviews in Nigeria. Most reviews are in fact paid ads and the blurry lines are never disclosed. Many people are on this table.
No car is perfect, and buyers deserve to know the compromises they are making with the Song Plus EV. I will highlight them below:
- Underpowered for its weight: The car is sluggish for its class. For a mid-sized SUV, a 150kW motor is quite underpowered, which accounts for the relatively slow 9.3s for the 0-100 km/h sprint. Even BYD's smaller SUV, the Atto 3, uses a 150kW motor but is significantly punchier, sprinting 0-100km/h in 7.3s because it isn't dragging around excess weight.
- Limited Space: The Song Plus EV edition shares its chassis with the DM-i plug-in hybrid variants. Because it isn't built on a dedicated EV-only skateboard platform (like BYD's own e-Platform 3.0), the battery placement is compromised to account for a platform that still needs to make room for things like a gas tank and exhaust routing. This leads to a raised floor and sacrificed vertical trunk space. The result is that a mid-sized SUV has noticeably less usable space compared to its peers. The Song Plus tops out at around 574 liters of rear trunk space with zero frunk (front trunk) storage because the front end is still designed to hold a gas engine. Compare that to dedicated EVs in the exact same class like the XPeng G6 (571 liters of deeper, optimized rear storage) or the Deepal S07, which offers 510 liters in the rear plus a massive 125-liter frunk (635 liters total) because its EPA1 platform was designed for electric architecture first.
- Aging Charging Tech: The Blade Battery is safe, but this car runs on a dated 400V architecture. For a 2026 car, this means it misses out on the efficiency and fast charging that comes with the modern 800V architecture which the EV industry is moving toward. The result is that DC fast charging speeds lag noticeably behind modern 800V competitors that can charge in half the time.
It’s a good car, but an honest review requires highlighting these realities rather than delivering a rose-tinted sales pitch. Please respect your audience enough to separate your paid ads from your reviews.
@234Drive
I think there is a spirit attached to receiving money 😭
I didn’t have all these problems before until now.
My car fan suddenly stopped working.
My brake fluid is leaking.
My fuel gauge stopped working.
I need to change one of my tyres.
My AC at home stopped working, so now I need to fix or buy another one.
Among other things.
All these things didn’t happen before until I received this money.
Now all that money will just go into bills 😭
There is really a spirit attached to money.
Na month end everything dey spoil.
@KerenKBitto So Is the problem what was said? Or who said it?
If it's a disparaging comment in the legal ecosystem, then it shouldn't matter who says it.
Anything less and we're just being mother justice without the blindfolds
@Oyo_Matters I have never seen a lineup of educated young people in this primary election, it's only the poor and wretched 😩, "keep them poor and use them"
Until they got there and realized that, yes, nobody did too much for sure, but they somehow did far less.
Nobody knows the people here or their stories, and that is why this pushback is necessary. It might also be true that they were not very thoughtful.
Funny enough hiring the smart talker is the actual moat😂
But that’s what we do @blocstreets , we already have a network of trained field sales agents across highly concentrated areas. If you need distribution on ground, we can work with your company directly.
And if you’d rather build your own internal field team, we can help you:
📍 hire agents
📍 train them
📍 structure operations
📍 develop them around your company goals
Basically helping you build a proper field distribution system from scratch.

You don’t want to identify as a “feminist”, because you’re a christian and being Christian is enough. No problems. In fact, I hear you.
However, the responsibility is now on you to speak boldly and directly against misogyny and patriarchy using our Christian persuasion from the holistic understanding of scripture.
It should be very easy to do that. Start from the church and spread the message everywhere else.
Teach on the equality of their worth before God. Teach that the women and children department, serving puffpuff,etc is not an exclusive office for women, the women should also preach, teach, disciple God’s people and start full gospel ministries as God leads.
Teach on single men respecting the boundaries of women and not feeling intimidated by their ambition and success.
Teach how headship in a home is not for subjugation but sacrifice and a desire to die for your wife in a heartbeat.
Teach women that submission IN A MARRIAGE is NOT a relinquishing of their identity and purpose but honour for their husbands under God.
Teach women that staying in an abusive marriage and relationship is NOT scriptural—They should leave! Teach them that submission in a marriage shouldn’t cut short their destinies and diminish their worth and self esteem.
Teach women that marriage is NOT a must and if it will happen, it must be on God’s terms with a worthy male partner. Teach them that God is NOT waiting for them to be married before fulfilling purpose. Teach them not to shrink for male validation because they are both made in the image and likeness of God.
Teach men how God never said the husband must be richer/bigger/more famous than the wife. Teach men to not just allow their women shine but support and deeply encourage it because that is what being a husband is about.
Teach how men should be able to cook because it is a survival skill. Teach on how men should be actively involved in their children’s lives without seeking brownie points because that is what normal parenting is. I could go on.
@AkposMalafakumo Threw in free meals every weekend like that was supposed to be impressive.
A "Managerial" role in PH for 250k.
No wonder you're angry that everyone wants to make $100 from 10m views.
If na you nko?
For some, the concern was never really about The Arsenal. It was about judgment, responsibility, and the line between pulpit humour and spiritual authority.
When a pastor says it was banter, the follow-up question is fair: what else is said from the pulpit as banter? The altar is not a fan zone, and popularity should not become licence for 'careless' speech.
Had Arsenal failed, some would have treated the comment as prophetic insight. Since Arsenal won, it is now humour. That ambiguity is the real problem.
The Pastor’s 'apology' is noted, but the larger lesson remains succinct enough to recall why spiritual platforms require restraint.
A pulpit should not be used to launder personal bias, ridicule (banter) a community, or convert football rivalry into performative prophecy. Faith leadership must carry more discipline than that.
The lesson is simple: popularity must mature into responsibility. The pulpit should elevate, not entertain at the expense of discernment.
He will be okay and get better, as he appreciates the grace that the broken shackles truly represent.
Selah! 'FA
