I've noticed over time how the perception of people towards others change when they get a car-new, foreign used and nigerian used. It really doesn't matter the state of the car. The buyer starts hearing words like congratulations, we go wash am, you have arrived and all sorts.

Is getting a car really a success benchmark?
CAN YOU IMAGINE I NEVER KNEW YOU ARE THIS POOR

Very interesting topic
1. We all need to move from one place to the other, either u own a car or not you need to pay to move from places to places
2. If you have a large family, I think you need a car. That reduces d cost of transport and ease u d stress of looking for public transportation
3. If your business requires that you buy a car, go for it.
4. A car is not a luxury but a necessity. Look our climate, in the raining season, sometimes you will blame youself for not owning a car especially when going out with kids.

Therefore never mind some traditional believes, get a car if u can afford it and if u can maintain it without running into serious debt

Remember, do not spend more than
50% of your income on NEEDS
30% of your income on WANTS

Always save at least 20% of your income to invest. Source----GTB

unforgiven: Transportation, like housing, electricity, etc, is a major challenge in the Nigerian society. Always, your ability to resolve a major challenge shows that you have moved a notch up, in the society.

nija think really fast o . u must be a genius

Libkid: Lyk my papa would say if u want to get help 4rm ppl dont go get a car first.u knw y?? Cos ppl wil think dat u are rich and can handle all problem dat cums ur way

...that only applied in a much poorer clan. what if u hv a small business that requires u have one?...wait till when?

"success" that's what a car means to the society where we found ourselves.- Nija!!! ....FOr me , it is n it is not! It all depends on individual critical analysis of oneself means of life. I had less than a million when I bought my car for abt 650k leaving me with less than 200k. Lolz. ...but that car became my business partner , coz it took me to my clients (nigerians o) and I got more money...coz I entered places. Walahi.

u will loose projects if u don't care to get one ,in ,Nigeria with nigerians... Experience is the best teacher

Lexusgs: Depends on the car in question. If we are talking Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini veneno,Pagani Zonda,Maybach landaulet,Zenvo ST1,Hennessey Venom GT spyder,Mclaren F1, Ferrari Enzo,Aston Martin one-77,Ascari,Koenigsegg or other cars in this league, then the answer is, YES !!!!!!

hay my nigga, u ain't making sense here u knw? Take for instance : in Nigeria aw many ppl have any of the cars u mentioned as a possession? Does it mean ppl aren't successful here?...those buildings owners in V.I, Maggodo, IKoyi, LEKKI ,VGC , name it around Nigeria who ride VEnZa aren't successful ? Is that what u want to have US believe?....those cars u mentioned are under "Heavy LUXURY" category, Ma nigga!!

Buying a car don't mean jack!!!. When the organisation i work for forced me to buy a brand new car in 2010; i had barely 30k left as take home after monthly deductions.....and peeps were busy hailing me.....me wey not fit even afford to drink beer that period. When i offset the loan, i disposed the car immediately. Whas the point in having a brand new car and not being able to buy more than 2k fuel at once.
