Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not, a lot of factors determines our personal answer. Eg someone driving aston martin dragon 2012 model, phantom 2012 model,bentley 2012 model and porsche 2012 model in nigeria[politicians no follow] can be said to be prosperous, can u also say someone driving a bitus 1965 model and sleeps in the mechanic has prospered?No. 1 Like |

Going by your analysis of properity can you possibly say my friend is properous? |

@All, whether you agree or not, whether BRF said it or not. OWNING A CAR IS A VERY GOOD SIGN OF PROSPERITY. Even in the US, UK and other advanced and developed countries, it is not everybody that owns a car. Now consider this scenario: You were trekking and hustling down bikes (okadas/achabas) public buses (danfos/molues/bolekajas, etc) and taxis (oko ashewos/cabbies), you have been drenched many times by the rain while you were waiting for bikes, taxis or buses or while at the bus stops, taxi ranks or okada points, and also beaten silly by the hot sun especially around 2-3pm on a regular sunny day, then you will appreciate that owning a car is indeed a sign of prosperity. Have ever had an emergency to move in the dead of the night? you will wish you owned that 1945 VW Beetle you despise so much. Owning a car anywhere in the world is a luxury, irrespective of where you live. 1 Like |

Re: Is Having A Car A Sign Of Prosperity? by queensmith: 11:06am On Aug 15, 2012 |
it depends on how you define prosperity, owning a car isn't a major deal. You can buy any odd banger and drive it about. If fashola really said that he might have meant it in commercial terms. The presence of soo many cars reflect a healthy amount of economic activity. 2 Likes |

Let having money=A, buying a car =C, & prosperity =B. We all agree thar if buying car= having money And having money = prosperity Therefore having a car= prosperity proof: C=A, & A=B, therefore form law of equality C=B. I rest my case!! |

If you understand the difference between prosperity and wealth,you will appreciate the argument.Dont mix them up.you can be prosperous without being wealthy.Though both words mean 'rich',you have to gather enough possessions to be wealthy.So fashola is right. 1 Like |

Icon4s: What type & year model of car ar u talkin abt? Can u say some1 hustling with a 1945 Volkswagen beetle shows prosperity. And can u say Some1 that purchases a 2012 Range Rover HSE sports with other cars parked in his garage doesn't show sign of prosperity? How much do you think a 1945 Volkswagen beetle would go for? |

I once saw MTV Crib and one thing I noticed was that when they show a Black Singer / Rapper, Sportsman or Celeb they normally have 5 or 6 cars pimped up to the hill, but the Oyinbo with the same equal status or even richer would have onee car may be plus a motor bike, They showed the house of Ludacris he had 6 cars then they showed the house of the lead drummer for the Rolling stones who is much more richer than Ludacris.... Thats when it dawned on me that Black tend to spend more money on depreciable assets! Jay Jay has all the Jeeps and 4x4 in world in his house compared Klinsman who has a Porsche and a 1970 VW Beetle that he ships to wherever he goes. |

owning a car doesn't necessarily mean prosperity.but it's sign dat you are not too wretched...atleast if u own a car;it means can afford 3 square meals.and have atleast an ''O.K" roof over your head. |
