Though I'm not impressed with OP's use of 'ogbonge inglis' as well as the condescending comparisons, I have to agree with him on the matter. Wallahi like he said, even in a bunch, peeps like to flaunt the 1 car key, using it atimes like a sixth thumb. The 1 that irritates me is those that twirl it around esp if its one of these remote keys. And in the face of online bashing, ladies are unfortunately the culprits here.

someone based in mushin was talking about his "mortgage" the other time.

today, it's somebody on okada/keke napep going on and on about his bmw X10.

@Poster
To me you seem to be the one whose 'head is hot' because you have a BMW X6. You think that the other guy with a lower car is claiming for you. Well you may be wrong. While not disputing that some may use it as a fluant tool, let me say that majority do it as a habit. Since you said it was also done in Ireland, it means it is not a Nigerian 'claiming' thing.

Personally I dont like putting my car keys in my pocket, it is discomforting and it bulges out. This same thing applies to my GSM phone, should I be putting my car keys and phone in my pocket? I don't think it is healthy or gentlemanly. Well, it may depend on the kind of clothes you wear, for me wearing a normal trouser, I dont need to spoil my outlook by having a discomforting and awkward bulge on my thigh or chest. I will rather hold it. Just not to be seen as you are seeing guys doing it, I sometimes put my phone/car key in my back pocket to my discomfort physically and mentally with the thought that phones and electronics (including remote car keys)are not safe at close body contact.

And by the way, I'm too used to having different cars that, I don't really need to fluant or impress any body, neither do I point my car keys at anyone, but I have to hold it for my comfort and not be influenced by those who may have your view. You may be completely wrong brother. If I am big, as you depict, then I won't bother with another 'claiming' or flaunting, because I know who I am. So the person can go ahead and claim all he/she wants. It doesn't change you are an X6 owner, or does it?

Seconded! And he want us to know that is car is expensive enough to buy off 5 iv-tecs.
Re: Why Do People Always Advertise Their Car Keys? by Pain(m): 8:57am On Apr 04, 2012
I guess you just used this thread to flaunt the fact or fallacy that you own an X6.

What you have categorically displayed is that you have an deep gap to fill in your own ego while shrouding in a delusive sense of humility.Or else why boast that your "X6" can buy 5 times the Honda of your alleged flaunting accost-er!! Give us a break!!

NB: This is to SEUN the FO. You automated spelling correction bot has gone gaga. Why does it keep re-spelling "else" wrongly? Besides, your key words like "Nairaland" & even "Seun" are non existent in the forums' dictionary!

@ Topic/OP.

Nothing to it. . .the sheer number of people that indulge in it is enough proof to the fact that it is borne more out of habit than anything else. By my reckoning, you are potentially insinuating that 70-80% of Nigerian car users/owners are show-offs; I beg to differ, strongly!

I have been wondering for long never to find an answer to this. Could it be an Automotive anathema?
Every car owner flaunt his or her car keys even if there are 50 keys on one holder, the car key
Remains pointed at people during conversation. I noticed that not only in nigeria but even worse
here in Ieland. Am not trying to be egotistic but i own an X6 with a beautiful remote key yet
I always adumbrate my key when not in need of it. This morning morning a guy came to my office with a honda
key in his hand talking and pointing at me, not knowing my car can buy 5 of his ivtec. Wat is the exact
antecedent behind this?
it's an unconscious gesture. People most times forget they are holding their keys and I think they mostly do it when their next destination is their car.

Re: Why Do People Always Advertise Their Car Keys? by OperaMini1(m): 12:35pm On Apr 04, 2012
It's not necessarily advert, since no Nigerian could lay claim of being the sole owner of a paricular car in the town he/she lives in.I think the hand remains the most convenient place to have my car keys.
Re: Why Do People Always Advertise Their Car Keys? by Johnny(m): 12:43pm On Apr 04, 2012
It is done unintentionally....i believe d safest place to keep ur keys is in ur hand,or stuck to ur belt holder...for those pointing it when they talk,its done unconsciously.u will do same wit ur phone or pen...just anytin u re holding!
Re: Why Do People Always Advertise Their Car Keys? by illuminati9: 2:27pm On Apr 04, 2012

Wallie: People do the same with their fake watches.

lol I kept wondering why someone would keep looking at the "time" every 2 minutes while in a conversation,meanwhile they were just waiting for you to comment on their watch,last thing on my mind was it being a fake watch.Some people do the silliest things sometimes

loool, i cant stop laughing,so na so people go dey abuse me say d guy dey check him cheap wrist watch every minute make we c am... ejoor o, i use my own brand wristwatch which isnt costly at all, buh am used to looking at my time almost every minute when am talking with people, or somwhere i feel i need to use that time instead of doing whatever am doing...
Re: Why Do People Always Advertise Their Car Keys? by stuhporh: 12:01pm On Apr 05, 2012
When i was in the UNIVERSITY i used to see my mates holding up their car keys in their hand, and honestlt i believd dis isnt neccesary as its just show off, the fact is v nt a good opinion of u when i c a young dude doing that, but in the real world, started working, and in every meeting evryone has their car keys on their hand or on the desk infront of them. i think now it isnt show off anymore.
@poster, u might just be wrong about the guy and this is the wrong place to tell people you own an X6, Yet i understand what you mean by your post,

You need to b closer to the europeans to know that they faucking care abt what you drive, better still get a dude drivn a peugeot u both drive in front of a club @ leicester in the morning holla at same kinda girls and see if they wil follow peugeot or prsche cayenne.
