Besides, a 2m suv cannot be something too nice.
Comkon toyota matrix which is not an suv goes for 1.2-1.7m (second hand ooh)

2m suv is not that fantastic... most like 2002-2007 model of any car.

we're expected to marry for love and not for money but men can treat us the way the like because they are richwell that's y gold diggers are everywhere.
and who told u all rich men behave that way?? comfort over respect?
so marrying a rich man now means u only need the comfort of his wealth??
babe wat are u saying?
. Please read my post well. I said MOST men, and trust me when I say the so called rich men already have someone in their lives(unless you want to steal another woman's man). If not for comfort, what else will make a woman marry a rich man? So called quality education(read mothers choice and see what the repercussions are), 3 square meals?(Yet most die of cancer or live short lives) what else could make a woman marry a rich man if not for her comfort? Please educate me. Am not saying poor or average men don't have issues, but am 100percent sure theirs is less than 40percent of the trouble rich men give their wives. My spirit tells me you are below 30 hence the way you reason, please just take my advice cause it will save you a lot of heart ache, if you don't believe me just attend any marriage counseling seminar and HEAR TRUE life stories. I rest my case, have done my best, its your life after all...

So, u will trek everywhere and jump molue... nawaao for people.... very myopic.

I am not myopic, it's my choice because it doesn't make sense driving the lastest car yet you have no house to call your own, if it's some wicked Landlord, they will top the price of the rented house when seeing the car in their compound, secondly having a car is an expenses and building a house is another form of wealth creation.

I am not rich... dont get me wrong. Im only being reasonable here. A good car costs nothing less than 3.5-4m.
A decent house on the island cost from 800k-3.5million.

A young guy buys a car of 2m and lives in a house of 200k pet annum.

That is a great start. Fine, he doesnt have an investment but that comes with time.

What do you want him to do??
Fly molue everyday and live in a house of 100k per annum so as to have investments
Comfort comes first. If you are not comfortable, u cannot push forward. A private car is an extension of your office. U will leave ur relevant documents there sometimes and also feel more relaxed when coming back from work.

Your sister is either unemployed or working a job that pays low.
Any lagos guy seeing up to 3-7m per annum knows what I am talking about.

You remind me of my friend chibuzor.
Before he got a good job, he would always tell me I am extravagant cos I always do fast food alot.
Now, he has a good job at plycon and guess what, he rented a house of 2 million naira, bought a car and eats out like no man's business.

When u get there, u will understand.

Dont be misled, maybe the vehicle is important for his work and earning a living.. Maybe living in the cheap simple rented place, is actually his attempt to save money so its not all spent on rent and car... Its really not sufficient evidence of anything unbalanced, until you see what he is earning versus what he is spending.. But yes its true, many do buy more than they can comfortably afford, just to appear more endowed than they are..
I am single and dont drive a car ,and live in a simple rented self contained.. But i own a Quadraplex house elsewhere, rented out to 4 separate tenants and I also own over 3000sqm land out in a quiet small town area, and that doesn't include my abandoned rights to land in Grandfathers village where he was the chief in Nigeria.. In addition, there is the matter of how much i earn and how much i have in savings..
When you look at me and see no car,living in rented small self contained, my clothes look like that of a common simple person and even faded color from old age,( I do spend quite well on good strong quality shoes though). You would easily think i was a waste of time even though you would end up picking another guy who has all you are looking for, but has not much money left because he bought has all the things you are looking for..
I always hear young girls talking on the bus, how they will never date a person who rides the bus, because they need a man who can afford a car.. They have no Idea that the money i save becaue of riding the bus, is enough to buy a second house or second land, and those girls will just rather put their behinds in some guys car to ride around, and they just grow fatter, and fatter and more discontented along every stage of accomplishment, and pressure their man to no avail but the growth of fat behinds and emotional torpor from the girl's selfish ways of reasoning...
I will wait for the poor bush girl who sees me and just takes me because she is happy to have someone pay her fare on the bus on our way to buy Boli and Epa... Then she will find herself surprisingly well endowed by a love that does not show off, yet grows out of simple frugal conservation of value that really matters...

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?
ops respect urself no talk to us like that. There is difference between car and house. I ve two cars but still don't have enough money to build house. So I shouldn't be married?

Make your own money and decide what to do with it, everything must not be done by a man, there are women who own houses today.
2 million naira cannot even by a plot of land in a developed part of a city. A man can buy a car for his moving around while saving for a house or building a house, nothing wrong with that. Most people prefer SUVs because of the bad roads not for showing off.

The girl in question isn't considering that she wants to live in her husband house as landlady not tennant she doesn't knw house is capital project which most men don't even embark on it until they are married and have the support of their spouse.


Even at that it is financially savvy to have something close to a value of what you have as a liability in investment. If you are driving a car of N2million, you should a minimum of N1 million in income generating investment.

Well for now real estate still remains the best investments then food.
A nigerian lawyer based abroad started a biz in Nigeria and you will be surprise if I tell you he started a cold room where he earns millions in a week.
Some ppl do not knw wat to invest in like you while many are smart enough.

Stop telling me of someone's cold room, tell me what investment you have or abi na ur salary de sustain U?

The OP is worried that the guy does not have any form of investment, driving a car of N2 million without an investment is a very bad financial planning strategy.

The guy can buy a car of N1 million and have another N1 million invested in an income generating asset, likr real estate, money market instrument, small businesses or stocks in blue chip companies.

I UNDERSTAND YOURS VIEWS.
People are different, you can choose to ride a million naira car, while another chooses 400k car.

Like I started earlier, the nature of ones current job can affect business ventures.

Investments can easily be said but it practical its not same. Not everyone can venture into every form of business.

Well said, I don't know the guy in question so No need to drag the argument, but,
If the guy can afford a 2million naira car and a rent of 200k unless he is into shady deals, he has a good job, and I don't want to assume he doesn't have any investment plans, probably the lady is not aware.

Even if he doesn't what is the role of a woman in a man's life??
she could advise him on what to do.

Pls, what's in an SUV?

Can the money for an SUV build and furnish a house?

The way some people reason sef dey tire me.

there are small cars (eg, mini cooper) that can buy two of some SUVs. So, SUV is not the biggest kind of car, una hear?

This is the president (Maybe he is finished with his term by now?) of Uruguay, or is it Paraguay? Any way, one of those countries... Google it and read his story... He drives old VW beetle from the 1980's or 1970's and it has not been repainted or rufurbished in any presidential fashion.. His house is a farm peasant dwelling and he appears to be what most people would mistake for a never do well.... He is Mr. president in his country where ^Marijuana* was made leagal...
Listen to him and see how people caste one another from the depths of their own misconceptions of wealth and status..

Not just any car, but a nice car.

There is a say: "The way you arrive is the price you are". Though erroneous, this saying holds very true in business.

my first car was ike 700k (a nissan primera).
My house rent was like 50k then.

Na my last savings i use buy the car in 2002-2003 or there about.
Then, it was a very very sharp car. looool.

Seriously, i don't see the big deal in buying a decent car even if you dont have investments.

Despite using all my savings to buy the car then, i am not broke today.
as a matter of fact, i am doing very well by any standard and i still own that nissan primera. ... i no dey sell am...
Now i have investments and even have education insurance for my unborn children.

That is life bro. People grow!!.....

one thing the OP didnt tell us is where the guy lives.
In lagos, 2m naira car is not something to boast of. Most young guys ride 4m car and above and live in rented houses. Its a way of Life in Lagos.
