Meanwhile rent for Lekki na 4m,to buy house for igando na 4m...Nissan xterra (tokunbo)na 1m ,LR3 na 6m ,all na SUV.
Oga rent for lekki is not 4m.

You have to be specific about the type of house and the location within lekki. This half baked information isn't healthy on a social media.
Rents in Lekki can be as high as 4m; and as low as N200k

Can N2mill buy land close to his area of economic interest?

If the guy works in Victoria Island, is he supposed to go buy land in Sango-ota or Ifo and build a house there and still commute to the Island because he doesn't want to live in a rented apartment closer to work?
He can buy a land and be a proud land owner and can resell over a period of years and maybe buy another closer to where he hope to live.

Yes he can, but he'll still be living elsewhere on rent.

That should not stop him from buying a car as a necessity to commute to work and other social outings.

just incase

op. I neva still understand wetin u dey ask.
dt I stay in a self contain n drive an suv doesn't necessarily mean I live a fake life.




...and the silly thread made front page.

@o.p, before my marriage, I had 2 cars and one was/is an suv, and I stayed in a rented flat, but that in no way meant I was being flamboyant,and more importantly,I have a plan for my future.


ur sisters rejection of her suitor probably had little to do with wat he had but a perception of wat was his possible NFA lifestyle.

Eventually, it's the inner workings of the man/woman that matters.

Is matter a lot, leave in a rented apartment and drove SUV #2million is bad, because investment first is a gr8 opportunity. I have a customer living in a rented house and drove Toyota jeep #8million he had accident with the jeep right off only God save his life. And this Bro didn't have a single land talk of one plot. He was sack where is working no money to pay the house rent now is living in one uncompleted building in Ago palace way. Investment first before pleasure, no matter how much salary you earn every month !

I ask because my sister before she got married to another guy rejected a suitor because according to her he drives a car worth 2million yet no investment anywhere and lives in a. Rented selfcontain where he pays 200, 000 yearly.

I actually thought it isn't a big deal until another friend of mine rejected another guy because to her he lives a fake life.
Is it wise to have no investment anywhere but live a flamboyant livestyle?

Ladies over to you, what if you meet someone who has no investment but is willing to spend so much in one day, will you date such a guy believing you can change him or leave him knowing you can't change that part of him?

To the guys can you date a girl who wears the latest designers when you know her job doesn't pay that much for her to live in such a way?

OP, that's how we leave here in Lagos o.

But you and your sister funny die. What if he uses that SUV to set bigger jobs that can earn him income to buy a house? Do u know if some companies want to give u a contract they start by accessing u and not one house u built in the village. Your car in that regard is an asset. If u tell me those boys are NFA's then I will think again.

we all have got different dreams and aspirations. If I currently use a 2 mil car and live in a 200k house does not mean I don't have plans to have an investment anywhere. They are 2 different things. I wonder how unintelligent people can be. The car may be of utmost importance to me maybe because perhaps it facilitates my business plans and needs which an asset may not be able to do at that time. It's never good to jump at conclusions.

naija mentality cry

God blessed u with a man that can cater 4 ur needs and the needs of the family ur going to start together now becomes a problem in this country??
so we must drink garri with him to prove our love?
it really doesn't mean u love him or does it guarantee marriage!


am not in anyway encouraging girls not to work hard 4 a living o
that's what most if you would see it to be sha

What sort of reasoning is this? A guy works in a good company in a busy city like Lagos at terrible traffic locations like Apapa or Ikeja and decided to rent house in peaceful and sane environment very close to his work and start planning towards raising mortgage to get his personal building in such place instead of going to a place where he would leave house at 4 am in d morning and get home by 11 or 12 pm every night, facing dangers on the way. So u expect him to trek to office everyday?

Living in a self contain flat but drives a 2 million naira car with no investment anywhere is madness and lack of vision. I will never advise any girl to marry such a person.
2million ke. In 2010, I know of a guy dat owns a hummer truck worth over 10million then, brand new tear rubber, dat live in a one bedroom flat which is not fenced,not tile, old modeled structure, road-side parking space n no water supply. He had no investment, no land, not even thinking of building any yet. D rent of dat house was 150k.
What would u call dat kinda person?
And another civil servant dat lives in a 4 bedroom duplex with a year rent of 1.2million, owns 2 SUVs, 3 kids attending a british school wit school fees of over 150k per term n he's feeling like a yankee based guy. No land yet because he loves his apartment n says he intends 2 live there for some years.
And both families r so happy n they feel/act classy. *smh*
NB: I know these persons very well.

You can get a smaller car and invest too.
It isn't wise to own a 2million naira car when you have nothing to fall back on if anything happens to that car.
Ph men are mostly guilty of this wayward lifestyle. My gfrnds living in ph says men over there are more interested in living wayward lives.

Re: Ladies Can You Marry A Man Who Drives An SUV But Lives In A Rented Self Contain? by chronique(m): 9:54am On Mar 21, 2015
It depends though. At a point while we were growing up,we had about 4 cars and we were still living in a rented apartment until we later moved into our own house in Lagos. Building your own house in Lagos is not very easy sometimes as some people may see it. Except you intend to build in areas where there are virgin lands. Moreover,you might have other projects competing for your scarce resources. Again,the type of job He does might necessitate the kind of ride He drives. In my years of doing biz and submitting proposals as a young man,I have come to understand what serious packaging in business is. You'd go somewhere to submit proposal and they'd stylishly send someone to come look at the car you came in(as a means of assessing your worth and seeing if they could entrust huge sum of money in your hands). Most times,the man who came well packaged in a range rover sport,gets the job ahead of you. This was something I experienced a lot around 2008.

In a nutshell,I think what's more important,is what plans the dude has for his future and how he intends to go about them.

maam/ sir, it's not a wayward lifestyle. When you talk fall back on, I don't really understand. if one perhaps have an asset like you said which maybe a landed property, it still might not be easy to do away with. I encourage savings, one can always hold on to that. Well, you have something to fall back on when you car is faulty or damaged, it is called insurance. Which ever way you see it. It is not beans owing an asset in choice locations in ph. Majority have investments in their hometown perhaps but not in ph.

Their investment is in heaven grin

But this investment thingy could get crazy sometimes. I know a guy that earns 25k as salary and is planning to buy a land in mowe. Isn't that crazy? Isn't he supposed to live first and let God take care of the future.

From my christian point of view, massive rush to investment is an expression of lack of faith. I don't expect many to understand tho smiley

A lady would be a harlot to live above her means. Bangles, earnings, necklaces and costly clothes and handbags.

If she is always at the tailor or bend-down-select, she is fashion crazy and therefore a thief or runz girl.
