When afonjas are not raping, mining skulls and killing their people for ritualism, they are exporting drugs and doing thuggery

Cursed sect

Kai you disowned your brothers caught with them??

gospelpen:
Out there in the streets, it is said that if EFCC has never arrested nor invited you for questioning, then nobody knows you have money yet. Unless you are above 50 years. Unfortunately, the agency expects you to suffer till you are 50 years before you blow.

If you are below that age, you will have to explain and explain, till you get tired of the money as well. Old frustrated people always have a way of meting out their frustrations on the young and rich. Know this and know peace ✌️

If you are reading this now, the best thing to do for yourself is to join the majority of Nigerian students studying and working abroad through undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships. Checkout S C H O L A R S V I B E. COM to see some of available opportunities for this 2022.

So you think EFCC just picks anyone that has money and is below 50?
That's a ridiculous allegation.

Once they suspect you,they start investigating you secretly.When they find out that you possess wealth from a not so clean source,they invite you for questioning.If you can prove it's source, you'll be freed.

Except an Igbo man becoming the president terrorism isn't ending soon

Is it simon ekpa That will become a president without terrorism?
Think not with your anus.

Blackblackbeaut:

You dey command me to watch.

slimanyd:
You should go to lagos and tell Sanwo olu to first of all go and arrest MC oluomo first b4 talking about Auxiliary . No be only una get craze for head. Nah craze them dey use cure craze.

We are talking about Auxiliary not mc oluomo.
No change topic!

ChybuzzDD:
It doesn't matter

As long as it wasn't stated, people should asked questions first before giving advice

That's how those who are interested in the progress of their society do.

So if I am into something shady,I will say it right here?

Meanwhile,why are you saying it as if 3.5 is BIG money that can only be gotten through ill means?

TheOldGods:
if you are extorted then you were never clean from the beginning. For you to be scared of police shows your source of income is questionable. I'm 25, I have a Benz and a Lexus. Police has never extorted me, infact my name is in the papers of the cars both original duties. The only thing it just makes police always stop you, and ask you for something. That's it

Maybe It doesn't happen in your state.

Don't tell me you don't know police extort innocent people.That means you don't stay in Nigeria.

SocialJustice:
What were you trying to say here?

I stated the obvious in which you too confirmed.How is that pride?

3.5 that many people do squander in a day.Is that the money I'll be displaying pride for?

frozen70:
As a student that will soon graduate and leave the country, what do you need the car for

Why not invest in land that will appreciate over time

Open a business they will bring in more money

Lastly, keep the money and plan your relocation with it

Thanks for your input.

OgunkeelAllMod:
my brother ,your level of reasoning is TOP notch!na your IQ level I like being friend with .. imagine the sort of question a whole undergrad is asking ..!!if it was a job interview and he gave this kinda submission, I'd reject him without even thinking about it!only black African , especially nigerians,with their cockeyed ways of doing & looking at things! Necessity,they say,is the mother of INVENTION! Car was invented for the sole reason of SAVING TIME!, follow by convenience,and comfort and lastly,for luxury (which isn't that important) I no fit type abeg. graduate my arss ,no brainier lot.

You're doing too much.

I kept an open mind when asking.Because no man is an island...

Job interview?I'll be the interviewer.

Medianna:
Ahh

Your last paragraph
Is equally unnecessary.

You can only spot the unnecessary but can't spot the necessary.

Your contribution so far too has been unnecessary.

SocialJustice:
Yes, I was trained through school on N7k monthly allowance back in 2004-2008.

You better swallow your pride because there is nothing you have done or will do that hasn't been done by others before you.

Which pride did you see me display?
I don't even qualify as a "big boy" or as a rich kid.So which pride?

ChybuzzDD:
So far, no one has bothered to ask how a student got 3.5m for a car.

Tomorrow, when these same people hear about a child missing or a girl killed in a hotel with missing parts, they'll start screaming and cursing.

What a useless, hypocritical people!

Doomed and foolish generation!

You don't know my family,background, work e.t.c
You don't expect me to reveal all that online.

What if you meet people from the upper class families?

Heathrow44:
don't get a car, for the fact you.re.asking us for advise means u really don't need it,.cos if u did u wouldn't bother letting us know, at ur age and moving abroad, u need to save money cos I heard 1L of cooking gas in UK is €5 thats above N2,500\L here, not to talk of petrol for a vehicle,look into the future u would need it then, save for the rainy day

Money making abroad ain't as hard as in Nigeria..
If I can be comfortable over here,I will be comfortable over there.

Thanks.

Originalsly:
There are several.factors to consider if it is worth buying a car..... factors that we do not know.... that only you know. Should a lady going somewhere ask what she should wear.... can you advise her without knowing the occasion? Buy a gown... just above the ankles... only to find out later she was going to a pool party. Same thing. How far do you live from school?... is it that difficult to in getting transportation to and from?... do you over around a lot that require you to be using taxi/bus? .... do you be hauling loads often? .... do you have to be dropping off and picking up siblings?... or will having a car make it easier for them to get to school and wherever?.... is your neighbourhood a safe one?... are they often be stealing cars?... or parts? ... do Police be setting up extortion points? .... would you be using the car for private use only?.... or intend to use it as a taxi? ..... what about the condition of roads in your area?... are you in Aba? .....these are some of the factors that need to be considered and we know none of these. Why would you then expect us to advise you?

Lol
Okay I don't need a car within my school premises as I live inside school.

I need it mainly during school breaks to move back home(interstate),attend occasions,visiting,travel....just mobility basically.I'm tired of public transport.

The rest of the questions are overwhelming to answer

Thanks for stopping by.

AlmonDeLemon:
Why worry if ur money is legit and u buying from a legit source also?

I have young guys who get extorted by those criminals in uniform.They always tag them "yahoo boys" falsely.

oweniwe:
It's those driving Camry, Lexus and Benz police disturb.

Buy Highlander, 4Runner, Prado, RAV4, CRV, Civic, Tacoma/Hilux, police won't disturb you.

Na elderly people cars be that

shegun4sur:
Nonsense post

Why quote the amount

How does quoting the amount affect you?Are you intimidated?

Due to my quoting of the amount,I have been advised I don't need to spend up to that.

TheOldGods:
you're not bouyant enough. You enter bus, and then you want to buy a car. Before I bought my first car, I paid a personal Keke driver 35k every month for 4 months, do you know the last time I entered bus. That's was when I knew I needed a car, because I can afford to fuel my tanks with 10 k three good times in a month. and save myself the remaining 5k and collect AC and comfort. If you don't have upto 5milluon in your account or you job gives you not less than 500k a month, then you don't need a car.

I will only advice you to get those camrybig yansh or buy corolla. You can't maintain luxury now

I'm very frugal with spending.Since I am single with no family burden,I ensure I save over half of my income (my parents handle school fees).
This is why I still enter bus inter-state and Uber intra-state.

I think I'll stick to my Uber ordering.When I travel out,I can get a car.
Thanks for your input.

jideq:
If your moni don finish you no go talk....which one be say "car na luxury".

300L student? Get a toks corolla with no added frills or pimping.
Budget 20k monthly for fuel costs depending on how far your daily commute is.
Budget 200k/year for the first 2 years for repairs (be sure to do comprehensive insurance as well).
Be disciplined with the car. No excesses, at times leave the car back home for really unnecessary trips.
Register with Uber, Bolt etc. (Half a weekend's work can get you a weeks worth of fuel to use if you know what I mean).
Make sure your papers are always up to date. Don't ever "borrow" friends the car for whatever reason.

It isn't a luxury unless you treat it as such. Being disciplined with using the car will definitely improve your quality of life and the opportunities within your reach in the long run. I can get into my car at 5:30 am in Lagos, be in Ibadan by 8:00 am and back in Lagos by 12:30 pm having achieved my aim in relative comfort without my neighbors having inkling as to what has transpired.

Detailed response.Thanks so much for this.

Rinoxy:
The police part is what I want to respond to; my bro, as long as you're responsible in your appearance, no unnecessary youthful behaviour, and you carry yourself with decorum, then you've gat no problems.
One even asked what I do for a living, and I told him I'm a civil servant which I am.
Funny enough, I enjoy meeting policemen on the way. I greet them respectfully, hail them at times, then move. I know a lot of them now.
Be sincere, be free.

Thanks.

It just seems like every young man who owns a car is a fraudster to them.

Medianna:
Too much unnecessary info
So you have to tell us you're in a private uni
Your level(why not add the course of study name of school)
Leaving the country
And also the prize of the car(why not add the model and name)

You should equally add age so will be ascertain if police will harrass you or not.

How will I get effective answers if I don't give details?
Would you suggest I ask a rather vague question like "Is buying a car worth it?"
Tell me how I should have asked.

Nigeria's hardship is really making people bitter.Out of all your envy and jealousy, you still didn't give me advice that I seek.

SocialJustice:
Must you guys pass all your rubbish thoughts through nairaland before making your inconsequential decisions?

Is it daftness or you just want to be popular in a faceless forum?

It's understandable that you couldn't afford #3.5m as an undergraduate.

golor:
Look at this guy !!! Car in today's Nigeria looks like investment...it appreciate value weda u use the car or not ..if I de lie ask people way buy foreign used car 3 years ago and ask how much is the second hand value of today or foreign value...when u wan sell u fit sell same amount or more self ...I am speaking from experience

Epic failed attempt at sarcasm.

Mooh247:




What's the point of buying operational vehicles for Amotekun when Seyi Makinde won't allow anybody arrest Auxiliary thugs causing trouble


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rNbk6iCnks

.

Who wan arrest auxiliary thugs in Oyo state when it was the governor himself that freed him from prison.
Na their second governor be that.

Articul8:
Sounds funny. Is this relegating NSCDC and NPF? Most of these Amotekun guys sre illiterates. I don't know how much of training they receive to use these equipments. Let them not just be driving around and be picking people indiscriminately.

I will love that they invest more in training the Amotekun officers and let their operations be top notch so people can trust them and criminals fear them enough.

Who told you they are not well trained?

You can't drive in the mid night in Ibadan without them stoping you.

qekng40:
Nice one.

Amotekuns, to me look like they are glorified hunters/Vigilante though!



If you can prove me wrong, mention but if not better drink water and look away

You don old pass all these okoto wey you dey yarn o.

samuelevans:
lol, i can't just stop laughing, Nigerian and their shows, you mean you don't have friends or family to advice you on this, unless #land??

You don't happen to know a chronic introvert?
Airtime of #200 lasts me for 2 weeks.This is to tell you how infrequent i do talk to people.

Originalsly:
I think you should not buy a car. Maybe in two years time when you are mature enough. Needing help to know if you need a car shows you are not matured enough to be a car owner.

If I have no intention to leave the country yet, I'll buy it straight away.

All I'm asking is "is buying a car for just a 3 year duration worth it?".
In 2 years time like you said, I'll only have 1 year more in Nigeria and it won't be worth it.
