No one is talking about the commonest and most annoying one.

Cruising around in cars for movement that would have costed u just 200 naira to and fro.
Most time u end up regretting driving down when u get brushed by an impatient driver, or when u find urself spending hours, burning the fuel within a spot as a result of traffic.

People mostly attribute cars to being a big boy, and consequently, someone that should have ordinarily expected a favour of 10 naira step it up to 50 naira, simply acting on the common say 'enh get car'

Appearing beyond our true self has killed a lot of people financially..

I'm always conscious of this and has saved me a lot of cost and leave me with a peaceful and restful life

Lilimax:
Not true!
It takes less then 45mins from Lagos to Asaba by air whereas you spend almost 6 hours by road.
Considering the time, safety and comfort; it's worth it undecided

Time??: One can always schedule the time to suit the journey.
Safety: who says road aint safe when we now have good roads.
Comfort: what are the bus seats made of? plank? We are talking about saving money here!!!!

Nigerians waste far too much money on phones.

The average Nigerian changes their phone twice a year. The most annoying part is the ones who earn below 200k but want to be using phones worth over 100k just to feel among. Very annoying!

Another thing guys waste money on is alcohol.

Concerning borrowing this is the wisest advise "The wisdom here is never lend out an amount you are not willing to forget!"

Omexonomy: 11. Campainging for the wrong party in the wrong state with ur hard earn income.
12. Spending money on a woman u will not see her pants and for another man to marry.
13. Living in ajegunle or amukoko instead of living in banana island that is too cheap.

number 12 is the most stupid way to spend ever... especially spending on anoda man WIFE jst to impress her

(she is married nah brothers)
