Hannover:


Nah, that's not true. I personally have refused to buy a car not because I can't afford it but due to the fact that I don't really see the need and besides an average Nigerian driver is mad!!!

2braithe:

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.

2braithe:


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

Medianna:


Ahh

Your last paragraph
Is equally unnecessary.

Nozino:



If you like, trek from Aduwawa to Etete under hot sun. Do this with your entire family members. Na you know.

2braithe:
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.

Nozino:



Ok. But you enjoying using public transport where you have to trek some distance and stand under the sun for hours right? You enjoy public transport with the awful smells right? You forbid getting out of your house into your Air conditioned car right? God will help.

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.

2braithe:


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

Your contribution so far too is unnecessary

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

2braithe:


Thanks for your input.

2braithe:


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

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

DLonely1:


Don't blame him bro. Some people are naturally addicted to poverty

I'm getting my first ride by next month and yes, I'm in 300 level and planing to leave the country as well.
But I go buy the car and sell it off or dash somebody when leaving. I'm tired of all this public transportation wahala and insecurity plus robbery inside vehicle.

2braithe:


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

You Need Common Sense Asap

2braithe:


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?

SocialJustice:


What were you trying to say here?

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

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.

2braithe:


Na elderly people cars be that

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....

Kaymaxine:

Na lie bros.Just say you can't afford it.
Make rain meet you for oshodi bustop by 5am in the morning...you go drive car come back for evening

GooodHardDick:
Having a car is not a must but however having a car is very necessary!

To poor people, having a car is like luxury while to the rich having a car makes it easier to go around.

2braithe:


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?

2braithe:


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?
