WHAT A LIFE WE LIVE
According to Wikipedia This is the garage of the Second Nigerian Senate President Prince Nweke Nwafor from 1960 to 1966. I vividly Recall the story of a man who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude. You wouldn't buy that car for 50k today. Some other guy brutally murdered his brother ( whom their father gave cash 2 travel 4 the purpose of re- stocking their warehouse), just cos he wanted to acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep. That same vehicle is now better described as a coffin. I Remember as a kid, my whole street gathered to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbour's house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every student's room. What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V boot, 505Evolution, Toyota Crown, all overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti, Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity... Vanity! Some ladies left their true loves cos some rich guy then persuaded them with a Benz 190, which turned out to be the only car they ever owned till date. They found out too late that true love is invaluable. A friend declared drinks because he launched the Nokia Communicator for over hundred grand in 2002. Today that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phones. What about the MTN SIM card that many people went extra miles before they bought for over 30k, today you will not buy it at N100 because all networks are begging people to even take it for free. People are still making the most horrific sacrifices over 'vanity' and make enemies over worthless material things. What can I say? Look back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today and see what becomes of it tomorrow. There is absolutely nothing you can't achieve. All you need is a little time and PATIENCE and you would thank God without regrets. There is actually nothing in this world that is worth dying for, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Chai!!!

These cars will be worth a fortune now

Ship those cars to Europe or America and you'd be laughing all the way to the bank.

You can say that again. Antiques collection.

They've come with their vanity talk again Where they supposed to last forever

He lived his live, enjoy his live in his days, coming days and years are for another and may not be him.

So he ought to be greatful.

Today, we are still making the mistake of giving costly meaning to the cars, phones in vogue, not realizing those things don't actually worth the cost and that we're the ones fooling our minds of whatever value we place on it. Once humans learn that we're the ones creating our reality and the cachet around whatever it is, we'll be free from pursuit of things we don't need.

Life is not meant to be static. ..change is a constant factor..for his time he sure lived big. ..like someone said up...they are worth a fortune now ..so stop shocking over it

Those cars are expensive even by today's value

In Europe and America, those cars cost a fortune.

Those cars would be vintage collectors items in the United States. One of them is a 1960 Chevy Impala.

Reminds me of when blackberry was trending. Everyone was spending more than a 100k to get one.

see person garage

If we dont buy them, how would the poor workers who made them feed and take care of their families?

If these "Vanities" were not discovered or created, how would jobs be created?

God bless you and increase your wisdom in Jesus name.

The best thing I have ever read on Nairaland. Keep it up

As long as you do not struggle to buy it, as long as the expense made did not inflict injury on the emotion, buy what you can afford and comfortably so.

That is why I buy anything I want in cash and keep it until I am tired then I give it out for free.

MEN SEE PERSON GARAGE

you can imagine this kind garage

@OP you succinctly hashed out the issues. Focus shouldn't be on material stuff. Rather, attention should be on our shared humanity. Technology, riches and the likes quickly fade out. However, what stands the test of time is relationships. Datsall!!

Classic cars

This garage is still very expensive even with Today's value
