Oga, the used cars imported from Europe and america are not cheap. These oyinbo people often laugh at us because of the high price we pay for these "Belgium" cars.

lonelydora:
The problem is those cars from the East are largely right-hand drive. Are you ready to do the conversion here in Nigeria?

Also, you don't get exactly the same model. Haven't you seen European-made and Eastern-made Camry, Corolla, Accord, Civic, Hiace, etc. Same engine and little difference in interior.
Another issue is bad wagon mentality of our people. Even though they have same engine, but they believe they are not strong

TechAI:
Thank you.

What prompted this thread were concerns about durability. You’re absolutely right about the pristine condition of the cars — especially when compared to those from the U.S., which are often accidented or flood-damaged.

My only hesitation has been around the durability of the cars. Something in me just felt they might be of lower quality or inferior in some way. Also, what about the issue of language barriers — like manuals and other information written on the cars?

I come to China very often on business and I am currently here at the moment, having got here early last month.
I can authoritatively state that most cars Nigerians import from the US, Europe and UAE are plentiful here in China. The Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, Benz, Volvo, Audi, Range Rover, etc are all here and much cheaper. In addition, they are mostly in much better mechanical and structural condition because China doesn't have the system of selling salvage/accidented cars to the public like it is done in the US and Europe. And so there is a massive endless supply of pre-owned vehicles at bargain prices. There is a problem however. It is extremely difficult to export used vehicles out of China. The bureaucratic and governmental red tape involved is daunting. EACH vehicle requires an export license before it can be cleared by customs for export. The process can take almost 2 months in some cases and the cost is prohibitive. Sometimes a car is deemed un-exportable by the government and thus cannot be issued an export license. Those that have tried to circumvent this process by hiding the vehicles inside containers have paid a heavy price.
Because of this, the massive pool of very clean and cheap used vehicles found all over China just sit down and waste away because no one wants to deal with the hassles involved in exporting them.

Trust America and her brothers..
The West has a special agreement with the Chinese government that prohibits
the sell of popular Western brands straight to other markets without going through the parent owners of the car companies.

Infact, apart from the models from the indigeneous Chinese car companies, most western brands are very costly in China, and that includes the Japanese . This effects their second prices.
As per the spare parts, most are already being imported from China ..

Blame the sense less Nigerian leaders who fail to prioritise that are supposed to blaze the trail in protecting human dignity have since joined in enslavement of Nigerian workers!

It's too bad! Why can't the government emulate the western societies where workers are paid uniform wages across board? There should be uniform wages for workers be they private, government or missionary employment. I wonder why non of our senators has ever thought it necessary to sponsor bills to make wages uniform for Nigerian workers across all sectors.

KillahPriest:
I hope you also investigate the Nigerian agents who caused all these by making sure the Indians make all employments through them and original salaries paid are slashed making the workers end up with the peanuts. Ask Kimberly Clark that has shut down how much they originally wanted to pay factory floor workers and what Nigerian agents did

Switruth:
Wike talks anyhow. Replicate Dubai lifestyle ke when he has closed the IBB golf club. I played in Dubai Creek golf courses,sharja,jabel alli and have gone to marina for ice cream and dinner on a boat. Desert cruise and the rest. Abuja like Dubai ke. Where will he put the gold market abi inflated balloon markets? Who will water the trees and palms at midnight,who will prune flowers and the rest.? Cho Cho Cho on a 40 year old whisky.

If you've been to Dubai you'll understand that Nigerians are being deceived with all these political talks.

Agugbadin:
The same Wike that did not pay Rivers retirees gratuity throughout his 8yrs as Governor of Rivers State, a sin against God and man.Those who retired in 2015,2016 till date are yet to paid their gratuity, therefore even if he line the street of FCT with Gold no work done as long as he has deprived the poor and ordinary people there entitlement.

luminouz:
Why am I not surprised you are here saying this? Jesus! Are you that blessed with low self esteem that you must keep saying these belittling things about yourself?

You still can't see that the post is never about household shiit but the mentality of women who possess them.

ifabulousroy:
Finance related courses never ceased to be in demand anywhere in the world. U.S. has alot of financial institutions. Do your research.

Teymanhenry:
I think people misunderstand what the post truly mean. Some women with lavish lifestyles might have questionable income sources. If the boyfriend visits her two-bedroom flat and notices expensive items, he might wonder how she affords them on her salary. Worst case is if she's not working, that could raise suspicions about her financial situation. We know most of our girls na. Nobody go tell us

PulaPower:
As in ehh, I was laughing when I see people mentioning Rwanda. Delta state alone is better than the whole of Rwanda..

The only thing I enjoyed most in Rwanda was their girls 😉

PulaPower:
You didn’t tell them all the whole truth..

Rwanda is trash with exception of Kigali.. I’ve been to Botswana, Tanzania, Namibia and I can tell you that there’s absolutely nothing in those countries.. Mauritius, syechelles are just good for vacation to me, nothing special in those countries..

Op, berra be careful. That a country has a constant electricity doesn’t make it a good country..

Goldforever:
All are fake Rwanda is the worst among all. No good business no purchasing power. Congo is the only place you can do business and make some small change. I went to Kigali and all parts of Rwanda all nah a complete village settings . Tanzania same story , satome and principle is okay for business nah village but business will be sure bether of. Rwanda nah scam over hipe

Exousiang01:
Is this 7million naira you mean?

With 7million naira even relocating to another state in Nigeria will be difficult.

You are moving to a new country to start life with N7million naira, hunger go beat you, we go see you for news say you carry coco.

Haaaa. Some of una like suffer.
The same energy you used to make that 7m double am spread am invest and you will see yourself making multiples of 7million in 2 years.

Karleb:
Don't mind those fools. If no be nigeria wey don turn something else. How much does it takes to set up a self-contained with those?

In 2013, 500k would cover everything. When a dollar was like N200.
I am really angry some people are used to poverty. This are not even luxuries, they are essentials.

Esthered:
Where shold they stay?

A lady working in Lagos and earns well but her parents live in Ikorudu while she works at CBD should not rent closer to her workplace because she wants to be marriageable. Is aunty saying she should sleep under bridge or live in a dipilated house to be marriageable? Aunty doesn't know what a good interior does to one's mental health as a home is a place of relaxation and not TURMOIL.

My sister just bought a washing machine last month and doing her Masters while working and we've always known that laundry is a chore for her. She was squatting with an aunt but needed more space for herself which we deliberated from a place of concern in terms of security and NEVER marriage.

Pay attention to the ladies doing well here, you'll see that they achieved a level of comfort before saying I do and it raises their standard to seek for the best for themselves. If a lady who wasn't born a nepo works hard and is becoming something, the guy that wants her should also be working hard to be deserving of such woman as she too knows the value she has added and is adding to herself for a better tomorrow.

whippersnapper:
Na this kind life federal government no want make we live. If not how will you be paying a doctor 100k naira.

Zico5:
He is very right. Akpabio is such a leader that everyone should not be associated with. Someone said, his people love him. I was wondering the kind of love that you can have for a corrupt and very crude man like him.

Love800:
I thought they said we should all shave-clean when wanting to engage in sexual intercourse!

suckprick:
There's a difference between Education and academic. Education is acquired everywhere (informal and formal). While academics is formal education. For crying out loud, dangote is educated business wise, every successful person is educated in their field. It doesn't have to be in the classroom( formal). Without education of any form, you can't be successful. So education is the key to success koz it gives you vital information needed to succeed in your field while academics doesn't always hold the key.

If i am not mistaken, the point-based system is for the HSP visa (Highly Skilled Visa).
If you get 80 points and apply for the HSP Visa in say for example Y2024/25, you qualify to apply for the PR visa (eijuken) the next fiscal year Y2025/26.

With a Phd degree from a Japanese University, the points you easily qualify for towards the HSP visa are;
1. Phd Degree - 30 points
2. Graduated from Japanese University - 10 points
3. **Research achievements (3 papers) - 20/15 points

** a Phd graduate must publish 3 papers to graduate in Japan. so your papers automatically gives you 15/20 extra points.

So phd from a Japanese university gives you additional easy - 55/60 points before considering other mandatory criterias such as
age, salary, professional career etc.
So with these almost all phd graduates in Japan are over-qualified for the HSP Visa (80 points) . Thats how phd graduates in Japan quickly qualify to apply for PR

My humble 2 cents

blackbriar:
With a phd in Japan. PR is almost certain.
As phd graduates over exceed the points requirement ofr HSP visa(highly skilled visa)
After holding the HSP vsisa for 1 year, you can apply for PR.
Too easy, no country does it this easy.

Bahamas95:
If you like call me insensitive I don't care. I don't pity these girls whenever terrible things happen to them.

They take foolish risk jumping from one hotel to another because of money..... Pranksters have exposed most of them. Just have a car they will follow you to wherever you wish.
Brainless beings!

chaiks:
How does the point system work please?yes he meant permanent stay.

ask4bk:
Most infections enter via the pores of your skin and not through the urinal tract.
A little sore or cut can give you an infection from an infected person.
That's why it is said that those who don't shave have less chance of infection compared to those with clean shaves.

lawbabs:
Those who understand what Tinubu is doing will be eternally grateful that we had a president who was ready to damn the consequences and take the bullet so that there can still be a country. Unfortunately, the same people who destroyed the economy under Buhari have joined those who destroyed it under the PDP era to sabotage the country, taking advantage of the ignorant Nigerian youths to spread falsehood in a bid to remove Tinubu.

What will happen next year will be a great leap, with the rewards of these policies coming to fruition. I expect a significant drop in inflation from 2026, and a strong manufacturing base in Nigeria.
