In the UK, one can buy a car from like £1000. For other better cars in the £10,000 and above range, I know of no British man who has the completed cash in his account to buy cash down. What they always do is payment plan or monthly payments. Small-small till the amount is complete.

Nigerians always buy CASH DOWN complete. It is not an easy feat.

In UK, petrol is like £1.20 per litter. Check out exchange rate. It is not beans for them. In NigEria, out petrol at N145 is not up to £1.

UK, car insurance is paid MONTHLY. £100 - £200 per month. YOU CANNOT DODGE. THEY WILL FIND YOU AND ARREST YOU.

Nigeria, car insurance is paid annually (you can even dodge it)

In UK vehicle licence is a must. You must pay it -£100 - £200 per annum. You can't Dodge. they know your house.

Nigeria, well Vehicle licence is N1400. Also a must.

In UK, after the 16year old buys a car, he will be a debtor for the rest of his life. Bank account £0 every month end or Negative. Credit card bill sucking you more.

In Nigeria, you are always a saver. Any how e bad reach something will always be in your account.

UK is very depressing and boring. When white man can't pay his debt he flees to Australia to form big boy. They are always in debt.

Actually you can get a car for £500.
Yes because Nigeria is a cash economy so you lot pay straight up plus no taxes. Taxes suck ppl dry in the UK, the government wants their cut.Bills here and there, ppl have less spending money.
Driving licence isnt paid annually but renewed every 10 years.

Lol who says the 16 year old will be a debtor? A 16 year can get a job in the UK and pay off bills unlike Nigeria where you lot don't get a job until your 20s

@tosyne2much as ur name implies ur too much.This is good Nice write up bra... Kudos !!!

Oga mi, thank you so much

thats a nigerian thing and I was shocked when I watched a nigerian movie and saw nigerians holding several mobile phones. it is called poverty mentality. out here in the west people only have 1 mobile phone at a time. if that one spoils then they go buy another one. i have never met anyone in the west who owned two phones at one time.

No, it's a network thing. Our networks are so effing unreliable that no one can take chances. Simple Glo data, in my home works reasonably well upstairs. Go down stairs and it goes to sheet.

Marina Lagos is an Etisalat dead zone( at least it was 2 years ago)

some years back, I was at oshodi with a laptop, and some policebiatch was harassing me. Dragged me to their station, was giving me statement to write. No mtn network . The saving grace was that my brother was with me and he had a Starcomms phone which had network. We made the calls to the necesssary people and watched the Biatch grovel on the phone.

I was in an accident in ore some years back too. Two phones. Etisalat and mtn. No Etisalat network and this was after 5pm. Mtn came through.

You cannot go around naija with only one phone. It's practically suicide.

and this would be the perfect explanation. I stand corrected. In my ignorance I thought they were doing it so as to show off that I have several mobile phones. Yeah that network situation need to be rectified in naija. We will get their eventually with the iron fist of baba daura lolzzz

Buy your own car and show off the way you want. In the absence of inspiring threads this is what makes front page

quite the obvious... How would u expect them to learn to be civil?
Guess it will take a thousand years for Nigerians to get to the same level as the western world.

You guys are lucky in the UK. Here in California, I have to renew my drivers license every 5 years.
Vehicle registration fee is a $100 annual fee. And vehicles must pass a SMOG test in order to be deemed road-worthy every 2 years.

I have 3 cars yet I take time to walk around, I take public transport and I allow my younger ones to use these cars, I have never in my life cherished a car because there are always new ones today and still coming,,,maybe its because of my nature, always wanting to be a helping hand,,a lady who was driving very fast got my tail at a stop and turn section of the road, my bumper was badly scratched, what I did was to stop the car, checked to discover it could be fixed with out changing it, I didn't say a word and drove off, keke napep will still put their own scratches with out you knowing. lol some people are wicked shaaaaa....becus of moto lol.....

@op it's obvious you don't have a car, if you own yours, you can start picking up people right from your gate to your destination like a taxi, stupid fellow, buy your own and see how easy it is, don't you know you have to be careful whom you give lift these days, and BTW anyone is free to do whatever he like, that's it
