Abudu2000: I think he is talking about people "who buy expensive cars and live in houses that do not befit the standard of the house", not necessarily people who buy expensive cars while living in rented apartments. |

chygoz3: I have practically experienced that in the past when I was very much into showbiz. People who were to work with my team on projects, basically looked down on us cos none of us had a car and during sharing formula for anticipated revenue, they decided to allot us a paltry 5% cos they felt we were the least in status amongst all partners despite the fact that we were the original owners of the concept. My partner wanted us to manage whatever they gave us but I kicked against it. I went as far as banging the table in a board meeting with these supposed big men and I looked them in the eyes and told them point blank,that it wouldn't work. At the end of the day,I made sure the project never held. Someone got a hint that I was about taking legal actions to stop the whole thing and the others just respected themselves and abandoned it... See ehn,it is good to be intelligent, enlightened, bold and have confidence cos when you have them, people would be careful of what they say to you. 2 Likes |

Joelete: I think it comes down to preference. Sm people stay in expensive apartments bt yet drive camry and corolla cos security at home tops their list. Not everyone has the passion or brain for biz dey rather do deals cud be legal or illegal i don't know. Sm again are car fans and like machines. I know sm1 who buys nice cars and fone cos of his work and needs to impress/woo investors like packaging. So its not always about posing tho sm its the case. 1 Like |

greenhulk: its only in nigeria you see people who never think logically. any person who tries to think logically is seen as envioys or negative... you need to change your mindset.would it be ok that you live in a small apartment and barely have space for whatever you need and you go to acquire an automobile that can almost build a decent house for you? would you? |

aonag: U need to change ur own mindset and stop pokenosing in people's matter. If I buy an expensive car how is that ur business? is is ur life, is it ur money? Jeez. When u work for ur money u are free to buy whatever makes u happy. And who told u people that are living in rented apartment and own a big car don't have plans? Some people have house rented out and still live in rented apartment.. shebi na because u dey see am dey ride expensive car, does he also need to write it on his head that he owns his own house or building a house? mtcheew Nigerians sha. Only in Nigeria will someone hustle for his money and some lazy bones will sit down somewhere and want to dictate to him how he must spend it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Joelete:sometimes its for their business. some people like seeing that you have a worthy property in case business goes bad between you and them. thats why the first question police ask you if someone takes you to the station for a business gone bad is: sir, what kind of car do you have? i was in someones office for a 1.4m naira contract. after investigating and confirming my prowess in solar power installation, he called someone on his phone and spoke yoruba to him telling him to go downstairs to check the car i came with. he earlier asked me if i could speak yoruba and i said no. what he didnt realise is that you can understand some languages but cant speak them after everything, i didnt get that job. but on another occasion, i was with a rich white client, i had done. job for him before. someone called me for a job and he decided to drop me off there. i sat at the back, and the door was bad, he sat at the front, so he had to come down to open the door from outside for me. the new client saw all that. i didnt have to talk too much. i got that job |

Readonee35L: Car is a liability while landed property is not. With car comes dependence on cost of fuel which is costly. My view is that you plan according to your pocket. That 3 million can get you a plot of land with a roof over your head. With no land lord to knock on your gate every year with increment of rent noticification. |
