Okayyyyyyyyyyy

I have one turning 17 in a bit. We have applied for a provisional license and he is getting a block of driving lessons as his birthday present.
When he passes his test, we are going to get him a banger. It will def make my life much easier. He can now run errands for me and I cease being the "glorified" taxi driver. He can now drive himself to the shops or wherever he wants to go

[s]it also means that he now has no reason to touch my car. [/s]

If at 40 your son has not bought a car by himself, then it will take another Rolling-dollar comeback to ....

Roflmao No be Buzugee again?!

pafestula: Buying car as a gift for child or children, some people sees it as wrong moves and way of destroying their future or career, while some does not even attached any meanings to it. I don't want to sound sentimental here, as for me, if u are able to afford it for your children, I don't see such portraying any harms, some wealthy people still condemned the act, please matured response on Nairaland is seriously needed on this issue if the act is on point or off point, or when buying it, must it be lower cost of car or the act is totally off point? . Thanks

Na wa o!!

normal thing

You or rather yourself

Like most people have said, if the child is the responsible type why not? If mobility is to make life easy for the child and yourself, why not?

If na my mama sef you will almost regret that car cos you will get turned to unofficial driver.'Where are you going?' Mum I am going to ikeja.'Ehen ok can you pls help drop this for Mrs A at maryland, then help stop at Iya lagbaja's shop at Alade and collect the thing she wanted to give me last week.On you way stop at Aunty I's shop at Iponri and pick up all the water and souvenirs for party on saturday.Uhm also no fuel for gen so stop and buy fuel
(this is an illustration of my younger brother's life).I tell him you cant complain, nobody buy moto for me so suck it in

You this animal, i will kill you o! MODs wtf is this?!

keep fooling yourself with your moniker.

I dont blame mummy o!
How can I have a kid that can drive and I bought a car for and I will still be collecting my dresses from the tailor or the dtycleaners?

See mummy slave driver o

chaircover:

its payback time ni

All those times I drove to football practice, those horrible 1.5 hour parties on a saturday afternoon, school . . too many to mention.

Lol.....I honestly can't wait to exact my pound of flesh on that count.

If I can afford to, why not

chaircover:

those 1.5 hour parties are the worst. By the time you drop them off have a chat with the other mums, and drive back home, you sit down for 10 minutes and its time to jump back in the car to go and pick them up them again. Sometimes I just sit outside and wait as its not worth going back home again. Imagine spending Saturday afternoon drinking coffee in macdonalds

Thank God for technology o. I am usually in the car playing with something on my phone or reading.

Heyyyyyyyyy my daddy will not even give you his car key talkless of buying you one

Teejayphillip: Very wrong.... D only legacy i can gif dem is Education and show dem d parental love.. Wif dat u can relax n watch dem grow more stronger...

Let dem buy dia cars wif dia hard earned money,zo dat dey know dis life is not 4 d lazy one's...

My parent told me i can only b successful wen i start doin tinz on my own... My mum once told me my dad's property isnt mine,dat i shuld try n b successful in life,so as 2 achieve mor dan moi parent..

N 2day i gif all d glory 2 God... D same legacy also goes 2 moi children...

Guy, na this your type spelling they hold people progress back for this life. Just saying.

WRONG with capital letter?

Depends on their age and responsibility. No clear cut or short answer as good or bad.

interesting... learning a lot

No big deal.


You must have done something that worths you having the car. Not a status upgrade.

Nashville: If your child needs a car and you can afford to buy one for him/her there is no reason why you cannot. What else are you storing the cash for? To spend in heaven? If that child falls down from an okada or gets robbed in a bus, then you start praying.

I wouldn't buy a brand new car for a 17 year old though!

i will not buy a car for an irresponsible child

My pops kept his promise to every child of his that upon graduation a car gift awaits.Even though I was given a one door golf,it still took me frm point A to point B...I even got married with the car,but ofcourse moved to better autos over the yrs...I shall up the ante' for my own kids...I'm bent on seeing my kids pursue any career of their choice in the Nigerian Navy,so I've started intimating them of my intention to get them new cars(and I shall,God willing)as soon as they conclude NDA and are decorated as officers of the Nigerian Navy.So I don't see anything wrong in buying cars for kids/young adults,cos we all turned out right...Gbam!
