sincerely, in this matter you are channeling ibime and assuming disposable income dey like that. those eating 15k meat at one sitting are the exception not the rule

If you don’t have disposable income , how are you fueling the car sef ? I hope you know that the N40k monthly is less than the cost of half tank of fuel you buy inside the same N10m vehicle ?

GloriousGbola:
my man

40k a month car insurance and no other bills dey abi?

we have been debating about how far 400k a month can go on this platform - now add 40k /month to it. it may work if the vehicle is commercial and you can simply transfer the cost to clients via billing - but for private owners in this economy?

There’s a reason why I said it’s a matter of choice . The same person that can’t “afford “ 40k monthly to insure his car Dey regularly chop catfish , dey press urgent 5k to friends and acquaintances , dey clear other bills that are not really necessities, etc

For want of better word , let’s just say it’s about priorities , not necessarily affordability .

NAFDAC bursts Trade Fair market where they arrested two suspects revalidating expired drinks and also producing counterfeit drinks .🤦‍♂️

It doesn’t matter whether you drink alcohol or no; they are literally erasing expiry dates off expired soft drinks/fruit wines and replacing it with future expiry date .

#HappeningNow NAFDAC has uncovered a suspected counterfeit production facility at Zamfara Plaza, BBA Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.

Two suspects were arrested at the scene while allegedly revalidating energy drinks and popular wine and whisky brands.

I don't even think it's about the affordability or not, it's more a question of the odds of utilizing said insurance in the course of a year.

Insurance is baked into the financial system of the developed world, if it wasn't they too go dey avoid insurance like their Naija counterprats.

You first paragraph is a thought the general optimistic thoughts of an average person . Of course everyone thinks and hope they don’t have to utilize their insurance. That u are making an insurance claim means an unfortunate event has happened and nobody wants or hope for that .

As per your second paragraph , ironically insurance is more expensive in the western world when compared to naija sef

izzou:
500k a year is 40k a month

So someone driving a 2012 car cannot afford 40k a month?

Don’t mind him . There’s a reason why I didn’t even bother arguing it with him .

If u can’t afford to set aside 40k out of ur monthly income to protect ur car bought for N10m , then u have no business using the vehicle .

Thats why I said its not about affordability because person wey Dey use that vehicle can clearly afford 40k per month , it’s just a choice borne out of either not valuing insurance or believing in insurance as a person .

GloriousGbola:
leave blueray - he has blue chip company insulation

I already said it is a choice.

Shebi if same car gets involved in an accident and u require N1.5m to put it back on the road , u will park the car and not fix it. Shey?

swiz123:
What kind of joke is this. 10 million is 2012 Camry if you price like a vulture pricing dead body.

So you think a Camry user can afford 500k for insurance like it’s nothing? That Camry likely won’t take 500k in maintenance a year.

Okay.

Don’t forget, while kicking football, dribbling people, evading tackles, tackling people, jumping up to head the ball and other things.

He did all these things at about the speed of the fastest Nigerian ever at that distance, who just ran with light sportswear and sneakers. 😁😁😁

I think he was obviously trolling, but Ibime dey take am serious thinking he's educating him. Swiz is definitely not Obaino, he no get any interest in the knowledge sharing Ibime thinks he's doing.

Ibime:
Trust me, he will take it away, run it through AI, understand it, then come back with his counterattack. But the most important thing is he is increasing his understanding.

That's why he went from someone that can't estimate distance yesterday, can't walk 3 km yesterday, can't estimate calorie expenditure yesterday. . . and today he knows how to check his BPM after running 2km Nigerian record pace interval in 6 mins.

GloriousGbola:
BlueRayDick channeling ibime.

Comprehensive insurance has skyrocketed along with car prices. If you are in a big company whose provider subsidizes for personal cars maybe. Otherwise...

Comprehensive insurance is 5% of the value of ur vehicle. If u are driving a N10m car, u certainly can afford N500k to cover ur car for one full year. You may decide not to buy the policy, but u certainly can afford it.

That same car will require you to buy tyre, shock absorber, do regular/routine servicing ,etc which may cost more than that N500k in the long run.

I think people choose not to buy comprehensive insurance not because they can't afford it, but because they either don't value it or they just don't believe in it.

GloriousGbola:
There is a general perception of blue collar criminals as st oo pd. Anyone who has visited VGC will tell you the entrance and exit gate is a choke point. So how did the guy think he would get away. It is not as if the express is clear like that either. A foolish idea with even worse execution. And as the owners of the cars are all well heeled hoa abroadian types - the guy will hear it. It will also be much harder for third parties coming to VGC going forward.

There's no sense to the guy's attempted theft; he clearly lacked exit strategy , maybe he was high on some substances.

As you rightly pointed out, he has just made it harder for non-residents to gain entrance into VGC. I'm sure they will put in serious measures to ensure entry and exit for non-residents will be very difficult.

Ibime:
lol. What you can't detect is how much education on Aerobic stats those those screenshots have given him in the last 24 hours.

From his numbers not lining up yesterday, he's been able to nail down that 20 km/hr pace gets you to 2km in 6 mins. He wasn't capable of that calculation before. He is now even adding that he uses that test to check his heart rate.

So those screenshots are educating him. While he has got the desktop calculation right, he has never put his body through that actual stress to know how superhuman such an effort is in practice. That's why Afrodoc was laughing at him, cos he understands what those numbers mean on the human physiology.

Bold of you to think swiz will take aerobic lessons from you 😂

GloriousGbola:
Anyone who can afford VGC likely already has comprehensive insurance as standard imho.

Most Nigerian car owners can afford comprehensive insurance , but they don’t buy it anyways . Being able to afford it does not mean they actually value it to the extent of purchasing it .

By the way, it’s not just in VGC he damaged people’s cars , he damaged people’s car all the way down to Ajiran where he was finally arrested

Theflint1:
I like as the people really take their time beat the guy before police come.

The beating is well deserved ! He has thrown the car dealer into serious debt by wrecking that Tundra . I don’t think that truck will be less than 50 million naira .

I’m sure if they sell the criminal and everything he has sef , it won’t be up to the cost of the tundra alone. Now imagine the other road users he damaged their cars . 😲

iamoyindamola:
There is no way out for this guy, the damage and the deaths he caused

The problem here is that everybody affected by his criminal act are on their own . Those whose cars were damaged will have to either bear the repair cost themselves or have their insurers pay (that is for those who have comprehensive insurance o)

Those injured will have to pay medical bills by themselves. People like this no Dey get money at all .

This guy went to a car dealer in VGC in Lagos posing as customer . As soon as he was handed Toyota Tundra keys , he central locked car and sped off on high speed in an attempt to steal the vehicle .

He damaged the gate of the estate, hit a security guard and allegedly damaged several vehicles while he was being chased .

The weyrey was eventually caught after crashing the vehicle ; leaving behind several cars damaged while he was being pursued .

He damaged 39 cars in total before they caught him….

10 in VGC

11 in Chevron

20 from tollgate to Ajiran 😭😭😭

How will he pay for all this debts and damages ?

They should just give him 110 years imprisonment 🥹😭😭 https://t.co/u76im7Sc5l pic.twitter.com/P2X2aWraj1

We can already see the good works in the current term which is what we need to continue

Its those who are challenging that need to prove something

Na so !

Agendaland- a platform for attack,defence and sticking to your truth,bluffs,facts and opinions.

The more screenshot Ibime post, the more ammunitions he dey willingly handover to swiz to create bigger agenda.

izzou:
In case you are expecting another Balablue or Microphone tasting episode, it won't happen

I can picture their supporters agreeing with/defending this already. They will tell you that the good works of this administration like the coastal road, "stabilizing the economy", NELFUND , etc are enough to campaign for Master Strategist.

While at it, they would ask you: how many states out of the total 50 did POTUS visit before he won the US presidential election ?

The fact that swiz Dey effortlessly make Ibime post screenshot upon screenshot without having any interest in the screenshot Dey muse me 😂

Like Ibime thinks he’s going to make Swiz agree with him or what ?

izzou:
Section 1 from Lagos to Ogun = Fully constructed

Ogun to Ondo = Under construction

Then 400 kilometers that will cover 90% of the SS completely deleted

Go and use the East West road, Osiso

So called Coastal road of 700km suddenly takes a detour on to East west road covering a whole 400km and somebody is trying to explain it away . 🤦‍♂️

Indeed APC worse pass secret cult.

swiz123:
Arena to PWD is 2.2Km. PWD to that diversion is less than 2km obviously.

That diversion is not even Mangoro , but Ile Zik. Ile Zik to Mangoro sef Dey like 500m

The number one issue is that you don’t even know the places well enough to know which is which . That was why I laughed when u claimed the whole stretch of the road was 3km . I knew Oshodi to PWD sef pass 2km on a normal day without checking any map .

swiz123:
I know why I said Arena and not Oshodi underbridge. And I count Mangoro from the diversion leading to Agege. Thats a maximum of 4km.

😂

So it’s no longer 3km Abi ?

swiz123:
That is erroneous.

It’s not erroneous, na u Dey understate the actual distance .

raumdeuter:
Thats what I think too. Na my adugo be that Bolade to PwD to Ile Zik, to Mangoro Cement Iyana Ipaja underbridge

That Oshodi to Mangoro go pass 3km

Over pass sef ! He’s just adding unnecessary salt and pepper to make a case for gassing out after 3km walk .

swiz123:
From Arena to Mangoro is around 3km to 4km. Just as Dopemu to national is 3 to 4km. From Iyana Ipaja to Arena is 7 to 8km.

From Iyana Ipaja to Ilupeju bypass is around 10 to 11km.

Get your facts right. Look at the map when driving next time.

Oga u are capping !

Road wey I don drive on wella with Google Maps . Just type “ Oshodi underbridge to Mangoro “ on Google Maps and see the number of kilometers .

Na person wey never drive with Google Maps nor know that road will believe Oshodi to Mangoro is 3km .

swiz123:
Oshodi to Mangoro is around 3km. How many Lagosians do that kind of trekking? You hardly see anyone casually trekking 3km except they don’t have money for transport.

Oshodi to mangoro is not 3km abeg ! U don Dey add too much salt to this thing . You are saying Oshodi to PWD to Ikeja to Mangoro is around 3km ? 😂

Oshodi to mangoro should be almost 10km or more sef .

Ihebu4chelsea:
Thanks so much, I have tried to get closer to her on so many occasions, but it feels totally strange. Also she's always making financial demands each time I get closer, the older is sick and needs all the financial help I could render at the moment but she still finds it difficult to ask me (though I don't even wait for her to ask). My mom's relatives are saying she has turned my attention to herself alone and they say all kinds of nasty things.

Don't let anybody gaslight you bro.....Please do as much as you can do for the older woman while she's still with us and don't mind anything ur mum's relatives are saying.

When ur mum asks and it is not convinient for u, please don't stress urself or go into debt because of her. In fact, I will suggest u plan ur own family future while doing sparingly for her. No let anybody put u for talk.

raumdeuter:
Different people react differently to situations. Whatever she feels IMO, her mother is still her mother regardless of how imperfect she was. She gave birth to her(risking her life) and nurtured her for some time. While its okay not to be fully open but basic courtesy is okay IMO

Something ceremonial like sitting at a wedding is not a big deal for me but doing it to spite your mom/dad is not what I will do. There are people whose father/mother walked away and they remained cordial if not friendly.

Well, sayings like "her mother is still her mother regardless of how imperfect she was" seem like a get-away card that always enabled irresponsible and deadbeat parents to face little or no consequences for their actions & inactions.

I think a child's emotions are very valid when parents failed to provide parental care , guidance and protection while growing up.

Do you know what it means for a female child to be taught sexual education by her father in place of her absentee mother ? I mean the Child's first menstrual period is explained to her by her father instead of the mother performing that motherly role. Some of the things girls learn from their mother, she has to learn by either interracting with her friends or asking her father out of curiousity.

I think being a father or mother goes beyond just birthing a child.

I know life happens and a family may disintegrate leading to both parents going their separate ways; but allowing a child to miss parental care from either or both parents definitely should have consequence for such parents.

Ihebu4chelsea:
My biological mother abandoned me when I was just eight months old and left me in the care of an elderly woman who took me in and raised me as her own child. This woman had married my biological mother but could not have a child of her own, so she accepted the responsibility of raising me.

Permit me to ask:

1.What reasons did your mum give for leaving ?

2. What was you father's side/version of the story?

raumdeuter:
That was why my friend went to the Brother inlaw that you sef be man. Think am that its your own daughter doing that to you

I told my friend that if your sister felt that way about the dad she should not have invited the father in the first place, but she wanted the Pain served back to be extreme, Invite him, make him believe things will go as normal then push the dagger in an humiliate him in public telling him to sit at the back

Speaking for myself, No one can convince me to sit for another man who is alive because his daughter is angry with him, even if na my relative. Its better to put cardboard on the chair than for me to join to humiliate a father

I think the man actually did hurt the lady by his actions and inactions; so her anger at him is very valid. I also think maybe she shouldn't have invited the father in the first place .

My mum has a friend whose mother abandoned her with the father while she was few months old. The mother just walked out of the marriage leaving the father to cater for the child with the help of his aged mother. According to my mum, that her friend grew up knowing just her father. The father tried as best as he could to fill the void left by the mother. The mother got married to another man and started another family while the father remained single till the lady was out of secondary school.(The man feels if he marries another wife while the daugther was still young, she will be maltreated by the new wife)

When it was time for the daughter to get married, she insisted she doesn't want her mum at her wedding . Her groom is from a very strong Christian family, so the groom's family started preaching about forgiveness, reconciliation ....blah blah.....She insisted she doesn't want the woman at her wedding. Then people started talking about dangers of going into marriage without her mother's blessing and all.

Las Las, na the father's sister sit in place of the mother and the marriage was fruitful (They had 3 boys). Tho she later reconciled with the woman years later, but according to my mum anytime she sends the woman money she dey always let her bear that guilt. She lets her know she doesn't deserve anything she does for her as a daughter.
