Investment › Re: CNN Makes Fun Of Nigerians For Still Believing In MMM by GetUmad: 5:14am On Dec 15, 2016

Meanwhile, who else has noticed that MMM amd Buhari both have some things in common?

1) Both have Ms

2) They are both ponzi schemes

3) Their ardent supporters are so deluded. Even when everything has "crashed" or "frozen", you hear things like: it's a worthy risk or it's gonna get better soon. Meanwhile, they're suffering as a result of their action.

4) Fans of both are Suicidal. Very risky set of people to jokingly "bully".

Some people would just open mouth "gbaga" and exhale rubbish.

That you're PRIVILEGED shouldn't make you call another person a LAZY man.

Why wishing evil on people cos you think (just as of this moment), you're better than them.

So many of the so called illegal immigrants, esp from Nigeria have through this sojourn, turned the fortune of their respective families around. Some youths are in higher institution of learning right now just because their brother/sister took that risk and became that "illegal immigrant".
Some fathers have been saved from hypertension, mothers high BP (that could have been as a result of seeing their children still struggling without hope in Nigeria after several yrs of joblessness ) cos their offspring took that decision and have become so responsible that they never joke with their parents wellbeing/health.

Majority of Naijas that travel both legally and illegally have in no immeasurable ways become great source of blessings unto their numerous friends and families. Its so so annoying seeing many people right here condemning them. Just same way I see some e.diots condemning people people trying to stay away from crime by hawking gala and beverages in traffic. Live and let's live.

I agree it's a crime or whatever definition its tagged, however, we should not be too fast at wishing woes on people who aren't fortunate to be " citizen" but have been law-abiding as they could. Don't let us forget the economic impact of diaspora transactions on this our staggering economy. The billions sent home (Remember through either legal or illegal stay) could not be wished away. So far you're not engaging in any criminal activities, I don't wish you evil. 'nuff said.

After all the epistle still couldn't see where you affirmed he was with security detail when he came to Nigeria. I'm not sure anyone argues he's without none, ever over there. He sure could even have Navy SEALS guarding him around in his country, But the bone of contention is " who protected him while he walked around here in Nigeria"? (Which your epistle still fails to reveal) A sort of invisible voltron? He could have even come with couple of Guards over here. Very possible, but it still doesn't change the fact that he was most times seen alone without any, probably elected not to go with any in some instances.

@ OP: If you must have this particular toyota brand,have it @ all cost

This is a Tested and Trusted Toyota Brand that has never failed the owners. Parts are relatively cheap and available @ Ladipo. Reason for its high price is actually because of demand and supply. I was on auction Today and I can confidently tell you a Manual Tranny 05 Corolla was sold for $1200. Guess how much an Automatic Tranny will be sold for? These are salvage with minimal dent. Let's do some rough calculations together

Cost of Purchase $1200
Auction Fee 350
Trucking to Port 300 depending on proximity
Shipping 900 depending
....................................
$2750
Forex Rate x 400
.....................................
Total #1,100,000
Clearing in Lagos 450,000
..........................................
Total Landing Cost #1,550,000

Remember this is based on Today's Auction and for a Manual Transmission 05 Corolla, let alone Automatic Transmission
So, don't blame we dealers most times. If only you know what we go through before we get $ @ reasonable rate. If you see any 03 - 06 Corolla online for #1.8m, pls grab the offer without looking back. A clean Title 03 - 06 Corolla will sell for nothing less than #2.1m. How many Nigerians can afford to pay that huge amount of money for 03 - 06 Corolla.
Remember also that the above estimate exclude fixing of the Car which could cost between 30k - 50k. Let's be enlightened and stop blaming dealers of smiling to the bank.

But how do you then explain the sudden deviation from the pencil and fish light camry that was trending then? As at that time, this particular corrola was not as prominent as it is now.
I believe just like the daewoo of the 90s, the opel of the early 2000s, it's a matter of time before it goes into oblivion. Sometimes, I also wonder why Prius which has got a better fuel economy is not well accepted in the country while the Camry(ies) are.

USAutoBuy:
This Corolla is in a class of its own. The reason is that buyers of this car spans several age category. Single Young chaps on the come up love it. Young family (1- 3kids). Single female, married female, older people etc.

It "fits" into just any category of family structure you can think of hence the higher demand. And the resale value is fantastic. People that paid about N1.3m about 2 yrs ago are now asking N1.1m-1.2m to sell used! and they are getting at least N1m

Fuel consumption is EXCELLENT!. Better than Camry

Its what it is. the market dictates. Close eye and buy if u can afford it

vivalaurel:
The 03-07 corolla is not expensive in Nigeria alone,even in the US the resale value is very high.It is not the best car around but does everything well and therefore appeal to an average Nigerian. Its fuel economy is superb,it is elegant,the engine is pretty basic(no unnecessary gizmos to give wahala when they breakdown), parts are relatively cheap(toks o), it is fast(at least for an average joe) and hardly breaks down. I have friends who have been using theirs for over 5 years and are reluctant to upgrade. I av only used mine for 16months and its been a wonderful experience (I only visit filling stations twice a month unless I go on a very long journey) and changed d front hub(cos of noisy wheel bearing).Go for it if u can afford it Op.

So educative. Nice one.... But let me ask you, have you used Kia or hyundia before [pre-07 models] ? Do you think they are any different in terms of fuel economy, speed and maintenance?
I actually have d manual corolla, wanting to get the auto for my wife cos I like it but I'm not finding the price funny. Thinking of finding her an alternative esp in the class of Kia.

Wow, very neat. Guess you just bought it.

You can imagine this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3299679/neat-2004-4runner-1.200m for an SUV with price lower than that of corrola same year. Saw a guy advertising a corrola on this section for 1.530m.

How is the second-hand ( third-hand at this junction since its tokunbo) value of this car and like how much does it go for presently.

the fact is that you hardly get a clean one even in cotonou. when you finally pick one the price is something else.

My sentiment exactly!

Dealers in the country are smiling to bank with this particular vehicle, while some of them are selling a refurbished accidented as a first grade.
The car is so hotcake now that hardly would you get to any showroom and you'd see a first grade without neck_breaking amount tagged to it.

Dear Gurus in the house,

Pls I need some clarifications on this craze about Toyota corolla (1. 8 ) esp 03- 06 models.

Nigerians believe that particular brand and model of vehicle consumes less fuel compared to other vehicles in its class, hence its now so so expensive. A clean Toyota corrola (03-05) model is now costlier than some SUVS.

Pls, I need the Car gurus on this forum to enlighten more on car and fuel consumptions.

Which other vehicles out there do you think one could consider as (better) alternative(s) to this corolla in terms of FUEL ECONOMY AND ease of MAINTENANCE on Nigerian roads.

This would help some of us to make an informed decision when hunting for one.

This does not of course exclude other Car users who can share their experience on good fuel economy of their brand of cars.

Thanks in advance.

Can this be pushed to frontpage. Really want to get more enlightened opinions.

Contributions please. I'm tending towards the situation and I need to decide.

You should be more concerned about

1} The chemistry between you too. Do you love your partner? Is he or she also so much into you?

2} How about the Parents. Both Parents? Have they given their assent to the union? The earlier you discover this the better. Of course, some might tell you it doesn't really matter, truth is, it does, esp for an inter-tribal union, else, it becomes too frustratingly complicated.

3} How strong are you to take the bullets for what you believe in? Believe me, its inevitable. It'd mos' def' come in one form or the other.

You are on a very loooooong thing.

You wanted a candid advise for a serious decision on Nairaland of all places, involving the online Cain and Abel tribes.

Fact; These two tribes easily cohabit and have great families way more than any other tribal combo in this country ( I.e you'd easily see 10 SE-SW combo homes before you'd see either of them with the North). Yorubas and Ibos marry almost every saturdays contrary to what they present to you online.

how do I know that? Well, I'm a first class Witness and I must tell you its been so great.
