Why do you cry in your closet and not the open even when you had the opportunity to?

Why do you say good morning to people sometimes when the morning isn't good to you?

Why do you say "you're fine " when actually you're not, when people ask you the question "how are you?

Why do you pretend to be okay sometimes when you're not?

You can't be doing all the above and condemn someone who tries to appear rich.
All these are done to protect oneself or to avoid burdening others. But projection of wealth is driven by insecurity and a desire to impress when you have no value to portray on why they should buy what you are selling. This would eventually have a negative consequences.

Mumu boys; as if they can afford wheelbarrow tyre shocked cheesy



How is Honda Accord 2009/2010 cheap?


He even foolishly called it "Eagle Spirit" instead of "Evil Spirit".



No car is cheap again in Nigeria under Bola Tinubu's regime.


So to those who haven't bought any car, don't let this yeye op deceive you that some cars are cheap in Nigeria, currently in Nigeria, no car is cheap.

The least amount you can get any foreign used car aka Tokunbo of any car brand in Nigeria now is 7million upwards, all thanks to Bola Tinubu and his directionless failed leadership angry

Same here, followed by the Accord coupe. Those cars were very easy to maintain for me, and yet they looked classy. Ball joint issues made ditch those cars.
If you do proper maintenance, you will not have a peoblem with pulling ball joints. Most "kamorus" will install ball joints without putting the locking pin. Why they do this I do not know.

Your attack serious o, wetin the OP do you na? It's like you sabi am somewhere before.

Anyway, no car is cheap as you said. You are even moderate to say any good car price starts from 7milla. To me, buying a good cool car these days starts from 10Milla, either Toks or Emilokan used...... bro, dey cool your temper o, Wayo Wayo......

See how you're discarding what you know of over something you're not sure of.

You guys believe so easily in everything you read online.

It called ''Evil spirit'' in Nigeria, not ''Eagle spirit''.

It's a confidence booster whether u like it or not

Exactly, that car looks luxury but everything about it is very cheap. Very low fuel consumption, cheap parts. The car it's self is cheap
You guys have obviously not explore other cars at all...

Who says Evil.spirit 2009 to 2012 Accord is cheap?

I'm a car dealer and at tje same time I've used several cars as I buy, fix and resell after some time, so I can tell which car is cheaper in terms of maintenence, purchase, fuel economy and at the same time classic or make you look richer in the Nigerian society


1. Mercedes Benz C230, C200k, C180, go for the 4 cylinder engine. These cars have engine sizes ranging from 1.8L to 2.0L engine size and they full option with sun roof or panoramic roof, back air condition vent with leather and fabric interior. The make alone is every classy when heard.

Let me burst your bubbles, Nigerian used is sold btw 3m to 4.5m. While toks is sold around 7m.
Intact I sold my 2 yrs used last year for 2.4m, first body with a tokunbo engine I installed barely 2 months b4 selling it ooo, with ac and everything working perfectly, c200k, 2003 model.

Parts are very very affordable, and are everywhere in the market. And their parts can last a life time unlike the Japanese you'll have to change after 4 months or 6 months max.

It's fuel economy is topnotch, 1.8l engine with kompressor that energises the engine and speed making fuel economy low, as a matter of fact, it conserve fuel more tha. Corolla 2006... don't argue with me... I used this car for ehailing (Uber) for 2yrs plus so I can tell you for free...

What other car again, can present you well... oooh?... hmmm!!!

I would have mentioned the Peagout 406 sedan, not the hatch back oh the car... that car is damn cheap, both parts and fuel economy, menh... I travelled to Illorin with it, I bought full tank and spent 3 days b4 coming back to lagos, I was still having little fuel left. The car is classic as well and will.present you to the society like a military personal.

Tokunbo is sold for around 6 to 7m currently
9ja use is very scarce but if you see a good one it should rank almost 4m.

But this Honda is very expensive ooh as 9ja used toks grade is around 7m, 7.5m... I sold one 7.8m last month.
Tokunbo is about 10m 10.5m depends on the mileage and title. Part are quite expensive... and you've the dislocation of legs to worry about.

So to me base on experience I'll go with the first two over and over again b4 I will even think on the Accord or any other car

Until the ball joint issue starts coming up.
That issue ended with EOD, which stopped in 2006.
Any model from 2007 upwards, which includes the ''Discussion continues'', ''Evil spirit'', etc, doesn't have it.

Nifemy4:
For those asking why you want to look rich, I have solid reasons why it's good to look rich. However, that does not mean breaking your bank, borrowing money to do so, or living beyond your means.

1. Looking successful will surely rewire your mind and fine-tune it to the wavelength of success till you become one.
2. It will attract success towards you. These are spiritual laws.
3. It will make you think bigger and expand your mind capacity for success
4. In Nigeria especially, looking rich will save you from a lot of embarrassment. from police,lastma, Frsc, Agbero, touts, etc

so my friend, in your little capacity, always appear successful and rich without borrowing or living beyond your means and power.
On the downside, it makes you attractive to kidnappers. Woe betide you if they kidnap you and you can't pay the ransom based on your estimated worth .

To be respected in the society.

It open doors.
What's special portraying urself as wealthy, aside unnecessary greetings/hailing/hyping and billings from people. Forming wealthy doesn't necessarily open doors for u in Nigeria, na who u knw and ur kinda hussle.
