mastermaestro:
Why are you so concerned about police harassment? Are you into shady acts? I used a car while in the university. I had a valid drivers license with complete vehicle papers. I passed police points all the time without fear because I didn’t do shit to acquire the vehicle.

Look inwards dude!

Many young guys who own a car are termed yahoo boys by police just to extort them.I don't have time to be dragging with them.I no like long talks.

Imagine them seeing a personal and a business email on your phone.They will say having two emails means you're a fraudster.

TheOldGods:
this doesn't make sense. What are you doing with a car in private university? Where will you be parking it. I think the problem with you right now is peer pressure. You want to show off or belong in the society. You're a student and no source of income as you mentioned above, but Lt you want to show off. No wahala. I'll advice you to then buy a Benz, add more money and get a Benz then show off all you want.


He who thinks he knows, but doesn't know he does not know, and does not want to know, is a fool.

I already put that into consideration.
My mom's friend stays in the state I school.My parents' house is in a far state from where I school.I have to journey home during breaks.

Also when I graduate, I'll have unlimited access to it.

I do have a source of income.
This is why I brought it here for advice.
Thank you.

heykims:
Sincerely, I don't know why this is on front page. U need the public to make such decision for you?

There are a lot of older people here who are wiser than I am.
It's important to seek counsel.

Legalcriminal:
It worth buying but be ready to give Nigeria police money every fucking point if you don’t want bullet in your head

I actually know how to treat their f*ck up.But how many times will I be doing that.
Those people dey vex me.

johnjay4u2u:
Yes and no.
The above is based on incomplete facts from your points.
If your parents are bankrolling you and will continue to after school, then Yes. Because if you are under parents that can afford funding you till you save up to get a car, then police would be least of your problems (Your class of parents will always know someone that know someone that knows the police)


Yes, point 2. Yes, get a personal car if you are bankrolling yourself in a legit business because you will need a car to facelift your business and get things sorted out faster. Clients also fell safer seeing you comfortable. (In Nigeria,most people will pick an engineer with a car over one with bicycle for a job. LOL)
When getting the car, go for the uncommon brands attached to yahoo boys. You gerrit?
Say range of 2.4 to 2.8m
While driving, always look responsible. It's normal all over the world for police to stop any young black man with dreadlocks, ice on the neck, dirty jeans etc driving a car.

No, don't buy a car if;
1.Parents are bankrolling presently but will stop after school
2. If you drink alcohol to stupor (you fit crash am)
3. You just want to use it as show off or to catch chicks . lol

All said and done, you know which you will do and take responsibility for the decision.

Thank you very much.

1.Actually,I work and earn by myself.I don't dress like yahoo boys and I have this cool gentle look because I am indeed gentle
2.I don't drink to stupor.If I drink, I'll be wise enough not to drive.
3.No I don't show off.I need it for easy mobility.
I'm tired of bus conductors shouting "four four per row" in a heated bus filled with people who smell nice and those who don't.I like comfort.

Legendrysailor:
Hell yeah !!!!

Buying a car is nice investment if only it is used for the purpose of generating income and for official duties anything aside from d two things I just mentioned is total frivolity to me especially if u are not bouyant enough.

I'm buying only for easy mobility.
Tired of public transportation.

Esseite:
Yes if you can afford and maintain one comfortably while being focused and not deviating from the goal..

Infact a car at your level would open doors, network and contacts amongst peers for you because majority can't afford one at 300level. People would include you in business ideas even without knowing your worth. most-times people assume we are worth our cars at first impression, which tends to open doors faster than usual especially in Nigeria.

Note: 3.5m tokunbo car is an average car in Nigeria, nothing too flashy or spectacular.

Noted thanks.

MASTAkiLLAh:
You're in 300 level studying a four year course with three years remaining

Having a car stopped being a luxury in Nigeria years ago but rather a necessity so I'll say you should get one but since you're also trying to avoid police disturbance then I'll suggest you get one that'll keep you under the radar maybe an Accord, Volvo or Jetta (you can get direct toks for the last two way below your budget and still enjoy your driving)

300 level-2022
400 level-2023
NYSC-2024
It is less than 3 years since a session is less than a year.I rounded it up to 3 years.


Thanks a lot for the advice!!

Nozino:
A car is suppose to aid mobility and generally make your life easier. Some people like suffer and trekking, if you’re in that group, a car will look like luxury to you .

A car doesn't look like a luxury to me.

You didn't put my metrics into consideration.
1.I have only 3 years more in the country.
2.Police wahala.

HarunaWest:
Use Uber or Bolt guy. A vehicle comes with great responsibility. I haven't owned a vehicle even though I can afford it. I can not do fuel, mechanic or road rage madness. I am too lazy for that mehn....

Thanks for the input.

Topzee109:
I will reply you honorably
They are being condemned but welcomed home secretly when successfully done

Are you the one that is welcoming them home?
What proof have you got to back your statement up?

Okay, Russia Is a secular nation but has majority of Christians, and you must be a fool for bringing Saudi Arabia to this

If Russia have a christian majority,are those christians the one that ordered the invasion?

Saudi arabia,a country that beheads non muslims,kill people at the slightest provocation,stone people to death,cut off body parts,no room for forgiveness,making women insignificant,a country that encourages terrorism(jihad)...all because of a shitty sharia law.Is saudi arabia not a shitty country like that?

Your Bible claims origin from mid-eastern nations but they practice Islam there in reality, most mid eastern nation are Arabi, except for Isreal which consist of jews, even Egypt that was cited multiple times in Bible was Islamic historically,
Which means Christianity is false, so there's nothing like Christian country. Since there are so many false story without origin

Mr history,the bible did not originate from the middle eastern nations.
If you know history, you will know that Christianity existed years before islam was created.This is why muslims copy the bible: creation story of Adam and eve-Adamu,Moses-musa,Aaron-haruna, Joseph-Yunusa,Jesus-Isa, Jacob-Yakubu and many more.

Christianity is false yet the quran recognized the second coming of Jesus Christ(Isa)?

I mean those aggressive leaders are being celebrated, imagine hitler killed over 2 million people, remember when these Europeans brutalize and enslave Africa

Bro go and read history and see the atrocities Christians has done in the past

Mr History,Adolf Hitler(Nazi) is condemned worldwide.There is a way the nazis salute each other(check online).This saluting has been made illegal in numerous countries.You can be arrested for doing that salute even if it is for fun.
A footballer did it when he scored a goal.Before he finished playing, different people from different countries were already lashing him.He had to be banned from playing in the nation's team permanently.

As for Europeans brutalizing and enslaving africans,show me proof that they were praised and supported.
Even at that,their brutalizing is nothing compared to headslammer terrorists' massacres and bombing.

So I'm currently in 300 level with a plan to leave the country immediately after my NYSC.
Since I'm studying a 4 year course in a private uni,I have about 3 years more in this country.

I wish to get a car with a budget of 3.5 to 3.8 million naira.
Due to the 3 years duration coupled with police harassing young car owners.

Is a car really worth buying now or I should jejely wait till I move??

I need inputs please.

kozmokaz:
Yen yen yen

I say it with my full chest

A General is meant to lead in battle due to his wealth of experience.However,it is deemed "unofficially optional" because if he loses his life,that will be a great loss to the entire Army.You can't replace a General in a matter of 14 years because a General isn't made in 14 years.

Many rugged and fearless Generals stay in the trenches with their troops to fight, lead their troops in clearance operations and patrols,lead troops advancing on enemy positions.

Gen Adeniyi(rtd),the former theater commander of Operation Lafiya Dole did engage the enemy alongside his troops.
Late Brig.Gen Zirkisu fought side by side with his gallant troops till his last breath.
We miss you oga sir!



I repeat,DO NOT SAY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!

Fear of change.

If I marry a lady whose character I deem alright,what if after marriage she starts acting like siofra,candidlady,fernandezisback,iyaebe,animegirl,datboredberry,kobojunkiee,saphiere??

Awon idamu Nairaland


Well, there's always a divorce option.My mother didn't kill my father.So one daughter of Jezebel can't kill me too.

Clementz0:
I'm not a writer so I'll just go straight to the point please pardon my punctuation marks,well I just met this lady whom I find to be amazing,her smile and her hardworking nature makes me appreciate her alot I really wish to date her (possibly marry her) but I'm a bit skeptical about my decision cause of the country she's from she's currently learning tailoring she can read but can't speak English fluently, she currently stays here in Ogun with her elder brother please guys tell me what you know about ladies from that part, I'd love this to be in front page

So you communicate by writing on a piece of paper.

kozmokaz:
Imagine see as mayor de lead for front line

While in Nigeria,generals don’t even lead

Don't say what you don't know.

Bastardlyrich:
Olumba is divine,please don't talk bad about him.
He is everywhere and can hear everything.is just an advice.
Those who talked bad letter begged.
Olum olumba.
I'm inviting yoruba Muslim to come and see how sweet and good Christianity is.

Even those who talked bad about Jesus, tortured and crucified him, nothing happened to them.Jesus even begged God to forgive them for they know not what they are doing.

But your own olumba can wreck havoc on those who talk bad about him.This means he doesn't operate with the spirit of God.

Only holy spirit is everywhere and can hear everything.

Olumba is not Christianity.It is an occultic network.

Bastardlyrich:
I already know you are an afonja fakee Muslim with these your comments.
Macaroni is a Yoruba Christian and we can all see that.
I'm inviting you to my church olumba next week to come and enjoy Christianity.

That cultism is what you call church?

Topzee109:
At least they are condemned all over the world

What about your people drugging India and every Asian country
What about Russia, a Christian nation dehumanizing its fellow brother


The worst thing is they are being celebrated

Remember Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Bill Clinton were all Christians

So who told you drug pushers in Asia aren't condemned?Why are they imprisoned then?

Russia is not a christian nation!!!You are free to practice any religion you wish in Russia.Can anyone practice Christianity in saudia arabia without him being executed?(one of the barbaric acts of headslammers).
If Russia is celebrated worldwide,why are nations then slapping them with sanctions?Why are nations supporting Ukraine with weapons and ammunition?

Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Bill Clinton are all individuals.I am talking of headslammers;a whole religion of piss,whole Islamic nations,whole of terrorist groups.

Come back when you have a sensible point that holds water.

So many guys have died without knowing that their attitude towards their creditor led to their untimely death.

So how will the creditor recover his money from the dead

Ishilove:

Her mum entered without knocking. I saw her angry with her mum.

I removed the entire key. she has been begging me. I said be in the top 3 in your class and i will replace the key but no rules in my house

On a serious note,if she is up to 16 years,she deserves privacy.

Things can still be changed.

Topzee109:
Ode, what about your brothers cannibalizing the east

They only cannibalize in the east.

Head slammers are scattered all over the world and they perpetrate evil wherever they step their feet in.

Boko haram,iswap,bandits,al-qaeda,taliban,isis,isil-k,al-shabaab e.t.c
Head slammers are a menace and disaster to the world.

azraeljaheel:
You see the bolded is necessary just no do anything illegal because karma na bst..

Because when you have it the legal way you'd always have peace of mind... Me I dey suffer the consequences of my illegality now

Lol you gallant na.
Nobody fit check you for this Nigeria

Cokahot:
U can't hit my car and escape,I turboed my v6 till I parked I front of th[e useless van,I was scared,he was scared and I threw a blow to his face before he blew
me in the nose and my gun injured with lips. Thank God he did not have a gun but I made sure I damaged the drivers body and broke his side mirror. I won't take shi t from any mofocka

Sounds like some james bond shii.
He was the only one in the vehicle right?

Topzee109:
Fool, Islam has always been your nightmare

Head slammer.

Your brothers attacked a train while shouting "Allahu Akbar". How about that?
Religion of piss.

thesicilian:
A well trained soldier shouldn't be terrified of being alone in the bush to the point of making this kind of video.

Except you're being sarcastic.
