tosyne2much: haaaa egbon dat your neighbour bad gan oooooo... For where he wan see dat one

Brother them dey but e no plenty. That my neighbour was very notorious with girls and there was one lady that gave him tough time(over 1 year of toasting) and he felt with the level of torture and judging by her quietness,that she'll be a fantastic babe but my brother after the babe finally accepted,we were so happy with Oge thinking marriage matter had ended but one weekend i saw Oge squeezing face & i asked what was the matter & he narrated his ordeal to me that he tested & in conclusion the babe was a disaster

As my former neighbour(OGE) will always say,an average number that he feels a girl/lady/woman must have slept with before he can consider marriage is 2 but that the figure is not realistic these days and if a lady claims she only slept with 10 you should assume & multiply the number by that same number which in this case would be 10x10=100 men

mufutau55: I guess you are right Eyop. May be because we don't have the money that is why we are scared for those projects.
I see your points when building for a commercial property... Thanks.

Hajji M.

You welcome sir...God will provide the funds for you not to be scared of such projects.

Graham123: Thanks. Will do. But I still need other to share an experience or two.

That's why i sent you that link so you can go through comments from those that has patronised her

Graham123: I intend to buy stuffs from ebay, Amazon et al and that's where I need a forwarding company that provides a US address to receive the goods and forward them to Nigeria at a given rate. Although I use Cargoatlantic presently and their services has been nothing short of impressive, however, I'd like to try out a few other options so as to make a comparism.
My preference will be likely tilted towards one with a competitive shipping rate per pound, reliability, great and responsive customer service, ship out days, etc.
Any suggestions will be appreciated but I prefer if the suggested company has been tested and trusted.

@mufutau55 and Fastshipping:

Though i understand you guys points but if one has the fund to buy/erect the structure for commercial purpose,he or she can go for it. In some parts of Gbagada for instance,a plot of land goes for about #20million or more. If one is able to erect a commercial structure in that same land,i bet you in 10 years time or less,the owner would have recovered the cost of the land & the building because a 3bedroom flat goes for about #1million to about #1.5million per annum.

That question should be addressed to a Lady not a man like me

Friendz4blue: pretty girls attract so much admirers....dis means dat dere so many guys dat wil b interested in d girl.and dat means evry guy wil wnt to up his game to get her.infact d competition wil be too much abeg.

I disagree so because of avoiding the competition you are now advising that the guys should go for ugly ladies? Life is full of challenges and babes inclusive so you need to be man enough to face the challenge

klint16: Tnx bro. I also went to visit anoda mechanic and he observed it and said its gasket issue. He said if gasket didnt create gap btw the top and the something i cant rember that i ll b hearing that noise. I think wen the previous gasket was changed it wasnt replaced with the original one.
He still said that the black smoke is cause by the air flow meter and i ve tried two but didnt work. I tot wen catalytic converter is bad, i ll be perceiving rotten egg smell from the exhaust? I planned taking to mechanic tomorrow but the worst happen today. My friend just bashed the car with a range rover 2014. The front is finished my broda. I pray the own forgives my car Amen!!!

Sorry about your ordeal, who was at fault @ the bolded?

This one will double the price of BB porsche.

what do you expect after sitting for Jamb and scoring below 100 even when they manage to defeat Jamb another obstacle is post Jamb so they must help themselves

cne010: @Eyop People buy car for different reasons depending on kind if business they do. There is a reasonable amount you can spend. The guy with over a 100million and drives a Golf3 is my hero.

I remember my Dads friend that bought a 2004 Accord to present himself very well in front of prospective clients to get contracts and it works well for him than his 190 Benz. I ran into him and he drives a GL 450 now guess business has been good. Personally I would do a multimillion naira deal with a guy in a Golf 3.

My friend has a big poultry farm and he drives a recent Ford Pickup. He could have settled for a Peugeot 404 pickup but he targets high end clientele like eateries and big hotels.

@Cne010,

We are still saying the same thing with different analysis/interpretations. I completely understood your points and like i said previously if need be and the person has a strong financial base,then he or she can go for it. Individual opinion differs: Some people buy cars on loans(you find this mostly with corporate workers) but very few business men or women does that. Business cars as a representation in business is not an issue but if the means is not really there,such an individual is better off renting the car for that purpose and save himself the stress to acquire his or her own personally.

You also mentioned you wouldn't do a multi-million naira deal with a guy that drives a Golf 3. but you would have asked what type of business does he do? He's an importer/trader so because he doesn't drive a classical vehicle,you wouldn't patronise his business?

Your friend that has a big poultry farm: Buying the ford is 100% right because that's a commercial vehicle which will serve the purpose of which he bought it for so is not as if he bought that for oppressing people. The ford is indirectly bringing in money by assisting his business.

TheBigUrban2: It is foolishness of course. But peer pressure is very effective.

Then such individual should disassociate his or herself from such peer group that will influence his or her actions negatively.

TheBigUrban2: That is a well qualified opinion.

Honestly, it is tempting to buy a car for 3 million plus.....I mean, just look at all those young island (lekki ikoyi etc) boys just cruising about. I know a guy who is 26 and cruises an 07 range rover.

Forget about what others are doing and face yours though i understand the intimidation but it shouldn't bother you because the future is what you are looking at and not the present. There are some of them driving a #7million SUV but don't have #5million either in Cash or Investment. There's nothing bad in buying a #3million car but before doing so,you should ensure that you have invested in so many investment opportunities and you have a very solid financial base with good ROI and not a shaky one.

Some of those guys you mentioned don't even have need for such cars but they just buy that for intimidation or to oppress people so is that not foolishness?

Bossforeva: pls i'll like to know the questions that i should i ask myself.. Anyway, what am trying to say in my post, is it also a wise decision dissing a 30M range for a 3.5M highlander

Individual opinion differs...

There's a guy i met some years ago and we got so close later that same year but i never knew at that time he had such an amount of money(over a #100m) in his account and was driving volkswagen Golf 3 though a business man. But judging by the comments on this post if some were to be that guy,they should have bought a ranger rover or G wagon.

Some of the questions you should ask yourself are:
(1) What do i need this car for?
(2) Economical wise does it make sense to invest such an amount of money in this car?
(3) What value do i stand to get after i purchase this ride...etc

A young guy in his early 20's so fortunate to be a millionaire should be wise to make good decision and not to be wasteful with the resources he's fortunate to get. Imagine he or she starts investing smartly,do you know how much he would be making in future? Don't get me wrong,i am not saying is bad to buy a vehicle of #10million but you should have reasons for such before taking that decision & also consider how much investment you have to put #10million in a liability because after the vehicle leaves the dealership,depreciation starts immediately.

Ishilove: And so is chelsea!

How romantic...our first quarrel

...u know na flexibility matters

cupid4ig: Currently using BlackBerry Z30 and I tell u BlackBerry os10 is the best out there. A friend sold her own Z30 on Thursday and by Friday evening started crying she want her z30 back. The hub, the option of real multitasking imaging chatting with someone on whatsapp or watching a movie and another person send u a msg in bbm it pops up and u reply without pursing ur video. I don't blame people who judge BlackBerry based on their old os but I blame them for choosing to remain illiterate

TheBigUrban2: 100 million na big money oooo

Agreed,but a businessman sees that money as "small money oooo" because it can be recycled to double the amount.

Bossforeva: Abeg.. As am 20 now, and have 100 Mn worth assets both fixed and not, i wn't be able to buy a 3.5 Mn Car for myself, when i know i can get a 30 Mn Range.
Are you guys really sure of what you are saying, each day i see young guys that drive Venza so WTF

I didn't really understand your post but was able to pick one or two points there. At 20 you wish to drive a 30 million Range Rover because you have 100 million in assets? Because others are doing so does not mean you should also do same. There are question you need to ask yourself before taking such action. Though you won't understand my point now but later in life you'll do. So you feel with 100 million,the person has arrived?

Ishilove: I support Enyimba FC

Very boring Club

It looks rugged to me but the wideness is my concern.

aikerism: I have been eyeing a W203 for a while now... Trying to make up my mind on changing my W202 to it.
But from my personal observation:
(1) the W202 is more roomy (both in width and height, am very tall and the 203 feels a bit tight, if you find yourself in a situation where u have to sit 4 adults behind, the 202 will do better)
(2) for me the 202 is more rugged and reliable and just Oga Cne said d 203 has way too much wire dis and wire dat hence making the 202 more tolerable when it comes to electrical issues.
(3) the 202 has cheaper components. When its time for replacements and also a simpler engine bay compared to the 203 that has sensor this and sensor that.
(*) but I read somewhere that the 202 has a recirculating ball steering while the 203 drives and handles better because it has a rack and pinion steering.( whatever that means )

But truth is the styling and packaging of the 203 is more appealing, it has more toys therefore its nippier than the 202 in dat.

My brother you cannot remain with the 202 forever and you must definitely upgrade. A lot are driving the 203 without issues and thank God you know all these things you pointed out and is just for you to be watchful of them. Apart from the issue of space with the 203 because of your height,every other reason pointed out to me is not an issue.

So if you still have interest in the 203,i still will suggest you go for it and you can still decide to keep your 202 to support the 203.

Ishilove: Hokay, I undastand you now. You no dey watch match?

naaa...am not a football freak and i only watch when am opportuned to do so though i support Chelsea FC
