Why mock the poor and down-trodden. I suggest you give a better hand abi head

Why hate on someone who doesn't even know you?? lol

jasper83:
This my piece of advice is to all, that we should always differentiate between a need and a want. Though is not a bad thing to wanna have a ride, infact it shouldn't be a luxury if all things are equal. I closely observed from experience that it is we the children of average/below average homes things like this freak alot. Imagine a child whose dad n mum owns a car and throughout cradle to early childhood to primary to secondary and tertiary he was privilege to be chauffeur driven or play around dad n mum's car, hurriedly owning a car wouldn't be a freak.

I remember my days in Unilag, whenever a yahoo guy hits money the first thing on their mind is owning a car and an intimidating one at that, and eventually wen water don pass garri they sell off at a ridiculous price and a back to square one. So why the rush in life, and moreover the societal expectations around you will rise. Pple will think u don arrive, turning you into a money lender, and if u dnt measure up na wahala be dat. Av aa re think and safe ur head for now.

My personal experience now, I'm 33 yrs and I earn 110k, my wife is a serving corp member and my son is just 3months. I started working like 2 yrs now afta service. Though I am nt regretting because give or take i dey progress in life gradually but I Neva knew family life in Naija is quite challenging. My house rent alone a mini flat around ikeja is 200k, my baby alone takes 20k monthly(baby food+diaper). Talkless for our own feeding and other utilities, and family expenses.

Initially I tot I was earning good until bukata(responsibilities wan tear ma pocket) lol. My wife and i are seriously thinking of how to generate more sources for the family in other to be balanced financially, wen I was I like u I could Av generated another way, salary walahi no be am.

Back to the OP, infact I they envy you. This is the best time of ur life to triple ur income and be financially independent because the economy of this country is uncertain, God forbids, job loss nko. Try and establish yourself now, family pple will never tell u all this unless u bcom one. Pls forgive me for my epistle, save for the raining day and make ur hay while the sun shine. #Wisdom....

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it

We need to hold our politicians to their promises. No more promise and fail. No more one chance politics. Buhari must deliver or else...........he'll be branded a villian.

10 Powerful Reasons to Vote General Buhari

I am not a fan of Buhari, but I admire his doggedness and capacity for pain. Heck a man who keeps going for election every four-year, loses, then proceed to court, loses in court, does nothing meaningful preceding the next election, only to pop-out again during another election period, is a "specialist in failure" (to borrow from Morinhno). So even as I don’t like him, I admit he’s an enigma, and have put up these 10 reasons why we should consider casting our votes for him. “I have come to bury Caesar, not to praise him!”

1. To Save an old man some tears
Nigerians are happy people (happiest at some point) and we always like to be hospitable and respectful especially to the elderly, old, and aged. So why do we derive joy in seeing an old man – General Buhari weep? Is it because he murdered his colleagues during his active period in the army? Is it because he signed Nigeria into Organisation of Islamic Country (OIC)? Is it because he asked “Muslims to vote for muslims, and Christians to vote for Christians”? Is it because he truncated the Lagos Metro Line setting the city back, in similar fashion as he truncated democracy in 1983 to turn the hands of clock backward? Is because of those he murdered with retroactive decree and several of those infractions he committed when he was a clueless dictator? Is it because he’s more clueless than he looks? How much more crocodile tears must this weeping general shed for Nigerians to forgive him and vote for him? A bucket? A river?

2. To save the Dogs and Baboons
Ladies and gentlemen, and erudite members of this platform, the sanctity of life is paramount; that’s why it is the fundamental of every human right principle. In 2011, when General Buhari lost his third series of general election, our able bodied and talented Youth Corpers, in services of the nation, were slaughtered by supporters of the people's general - almajiris. Throughout this spontaneous act of sheer wickedness and barbarism, not once did the general call them to order; not once did he tell his supporters that they are not acting on his behalf. The general kept mute, obviously pleased with what his supporter did in his name (and hoping it spiral out of control). Thankfully it never did.

Not long ago, the unrepentant general threatened again that “the dogs and the baboons will be soaked in blood” should another humiliating electoral defeat befall him. Nairalanders, let’s save our Youth Corpers, let’s save our friends and family, let avoid this ominous threat altogether by voting the General, else his almajiris, now evolved and more organised with choice weapons, will slaughter all the “dogs and baboons!”

3. To help avenge the death of Buhari’s people killed by JTF
At the height of the Boko Haram murderous saga, the JTF acting in the interest of Nigeria, and while performing their duties, gave Boko haram members a taste of their own medicine by returning fire for fire. As the casualty mounts, General Buhari was famously quoted to have insinuated that the JTF are killing “his people”, instead of inviting them to Aso Rock for dialogue. Equating the murderous and barbaric Boko haram hordes (his people) to the Niger Delta Militants, Buhari was of the opinion that the JFT should stop killing them, rather we should pay them off (amnesty package) for killing Nigerians. A similar debt is said to be owned by the good people Oyo. El Rufia, his party member, reminded us that such deaths are debts which will be paid, even if it takes a hundred years. Gentlemen and ladies, shouldn’t we vote this man in so that our debts are quickly paid and forgotten?

4. Gen Buhari is original “Born to Rule”
Let’s face fact, unless you are Fulani muslim, you are not born to rule, and MUST NEVER rule. If you do, it must be under specific terms and conditionS. Even if you are voted in, you are either a puppet or just a temporary occupant. Buhari fits the profile: He is a Fulani Muslim; a special stock, a descendant of the great Uthman Dan Fodio, conqueror of Hausa, scourge of Ilorin, owner of Nigeria, the prima dona of Born to Rule. Nigeria, according to Ahmadu Bello, is the estate of Uthman Dan Fodio. Who better continue this storied lagacy than General Buhari himself, a true descendant of Uthman Dan Fodio?

5. Buhari has no property; no house (maybe like our current President – no shoes)
Buhari has no house, no property at all (since Nigeria belongs to his great grandfather perhaps). This according to his supporters is the acme of incorrigibility. I don’t know if Buhari’s parents grew up in the streets, and had no houses/properties – not even cows. If they did have any of those, they must be corrupt; they and other Nigerians who own houses are only able to do so because they are corrupt! If Buhari could work, and earn salaries all these years, yet unable to own a home or two, therefore any Nigerian who earned salaries of equal amount as Buhari but manage to own property or two must have corruptly enriched himself. Buhari’s lack of properties has nothing to do with his inability to think, forecast, plan, and execute, he couldn’t own a house because only corrupt people do. Let’s vote Buhari because he has no house, no property (perhaps no shoes too).

6. Buhari will “fight” corruption
Buhari will fight corruption they continue tell us. But no one seems to tell us how! Fortunately, history tells us how Buhari did it the first time out. After successfully (some say cowardly) benefiting from the coup plot that ousted Shagari ‘corrupt’ regime, Buhari placed President Shagari under house arrest, while Ekwueme the VP was bundled into prison. Buhari threw Fela Anikulapo Kuti into prison for possession of foreign currency (Fela had just returned from performing abroad, the poor fella didn’t know a decree has been passed prohibiting holding foreign currency). Meanwhile in the same era 53 suitcases containing some $700M was smuggled into the country by Emir of Gwando, the father of Buhari’s ADC. While Fela languished in detention, the Emir, a well connected “born to rule”, was given a pass! Let’s not forget banning of press freedom (decree 4) and the botched attempt to smuggle a fugitive from the UK by the Buhari’s regime. That is how Buhari fought corruption; wouldn’t we rather go back to this ‘wonderful’ era by voting him?

7. To enlarge Tinubu's empire
The say Buhari is poor, and has no property anywhere in the country (they must really pay peanuts in the military for someone to be unable to save, buy a land, and build a three bedroom apartment after working for decades, either that or the individual has no vision). Since Buhari has no need for material acquisition, but has chosen one of the most avaricious as his backbone and sponsor, isn’t it clear who stands to benefit from the contract? Let’s vote Buhari, and expand Tinubu’s empire from Lagos to beyond!

8. To continue the population lie
A major event in 2016 (a year after the election) is the National Population Census. The stakes are high as evident from the drama and rhetoric. Only in Nigeria is the Sahel savanna region more populated than tropical region, citerus paribus. The fellow who stated he will demystify this myth by not counting cows and goats in the core North as people has already lost his job. Knowing how things work in Nigeria, we can continue with this lie, by voting the People’s General – Gen Muhammad Buhari!

9. To maintain oil block status quo
We know how the oil blocks ownerships are skewed against resources owner, while abundant solid minerals littering other enclaves are rarely stated in the equation, let alone exploited federally. The oil blocks are due for renewal by 2015 and beyond. We can continue to cheat the South and maintain the status quo by voting Buhari! Least we forget, these oil blocks are spoils of war, and payment to the Northern elite for the liberation of Niger Delta from Biafran force. (abi no be so?)


10. To save Buhari's Bank manager
At the basic human level, I really sympathize with Buhari’s bank manager (if Buhari N27M loan claim is anything to go by.) Sanusi spent most of his tenure as central bank governor, hounding bankers for granting loans to you and I to invest in capital market, with the certificate as collateral. If that is considered criminal, how much more granting unsecured loan of such magnitude to Buhari? Or didn’t the bank manager read severally that Buhari has no properties, hence nothing of value to use as security/collateral! I didn’t even know that bank managers can grant a loan of such magnitude on the spot. Someone please tell me the bank and branch. I smell fraud! I am sure the bank manager is being grilled by bank’s credit committee even as we speak, but he could become the finance minister if we all vote Buhari!


I know there are several other reason to 'vote' buhari, but these are my top 10. Let's hear yours.

My very candid advice to you!

At 25, you should no longer be staying with folks while working. Your priority should be getting ur own place even if its a decent Miniflat.

You wonna buy a car while squarting with ppl? You remind mi of a scenario I withnessed. The guy bought a car while staying with his elder brother that assumed major financial responsibility at home including all bills and feeding.

It suddenly dawned on the brother that he had so much money to throw around. He withdrew all financial support he had given him and his wife made things worse for him.

An intelligent man will not buy a car until he has his own accomodation. You wonna bring girls with ur car to another person's house.
I laugh you! It is either you release your car to be used at will by the people you live with or face their wrath

Also in ur office enviroment, are people on the same salary with you driving cars? Else you wonna put urself in problem, all fingers relating to fraud will point to you even if are not involved in such.

Maintaining a car goes beyond just fueling, they will never tell you the truth. You are not buying a brand new car afterall expect any unexpected expenses. And to crown it all, you wonna buy a nigerian used EOD at 650k and you expect to only buy fuel and drain oils.

I pity you! Na basket you won design for ur salary

Pls learn to put things in order of importance in life.

Nigerians and our comical way of advising, lol, thanx bro

FlyboyZee:
If you think its unbelievable/impossible, then why did you open this thread?

I thought it was meant to help you make a decision from other people's experiences. Or may be, just may be I misunderstood the essence of this thread.

FYI, I have junior staff in my office earning about N40,000.00 who own and maintain their cars. How they do it? I don't know, but I know them personally, their salary levels and how they roll. All I meant was that its neither rocket science nor undoable to own or maintain a car with a take home of about a 100 grand in Naira.

Bros i was actually referring to the guys savings culture and it has nothing to do with the topic at hand

blackfm:
On a 160k income, I gotta commend u. U should open a thread on your savings culture

i swear

blackfm:
The more reason why I advised he goes for a corolla instead of a accord. Less cost, it get you around and frankly, it's not bad to look at

I really like the honda accord 03- is the maintenance and fuel cost that much compared to a corolla

SA

Price reduction 40k

pls can this be on front page

Raymie:
OP's issue is similar to one I responded to here on NL. www.nairaland.com/2111020/car-piece-land-which-buy/1#30132346 Nonetheless, can @OP's salary keep up with a car's maintenance, yes. Does OP need a car, its up to him.

Thanks for your contribution and link

elewedu:
I bought my first car while earning arround 100k.I must confess it didnt change much in my spending pattern,since I bought a very small one (toyota paseo) with extremely low fuel consumption and maintenance cost. I am on my second car now, a bigger one, but very reliable one again. I spend a little above 2k weekly, and I have not had to do any major maintenance for the past 9months. My advice is that, at that level of income, the best that can happen to you is to buy a very reliable one with very low fuel consumption. Beware of cars with expensive parts and crazy fuel consumption...and finally beware of Niger used, dont be penny wise pounds foolish. Cheers

Thanks, does an accord fit that bill? Fuel and parts?
