samuelson06:
Let's start from your location and what car is common there. So, where do you live? Also, how long do you intend to use the car you want to buy now? Is it going to be a highly (pimped) private thing, a family thing, or a casual thing as a business man or someone that doesn't really care much about things? Are you a 9-5 person or self-employed? Do you live in a gated compound or your own compound (gated/ungated?)? Or a family compound? How's your street? Good? Tarred? Untarred? What set of people do you have in your neighborhood: rich, well to do, or poor/thugs? Are you married or single? If single, when do hope to get married?

These and more are questions you need to answer for yourself, as they can influence a lot of things about your life after getting the car. Don't be too centered on buying a car, but also consider your life after the car. Once you answer these questions, I can advise further.
Mr man wetin concern if person dey married or single or even divorced inside car wey person wan buy....life is not too hard na we dey make things complicated for ourselves. You for add virgin or non virgin for the criteria too.

Whenever you're ready to get the car let me know. I have a friend in Abuja that sells cars, solid cars at good prices too. He just posted one today even- toks grade, neat and solid 2013 Camry SE with papers and everything for less than 12m. I was surprised because I've seen before where it was quoted at higher price.

He has other cars though that are quite lower than 7m, 8m, 9m, and so on depending on the brand, make, model, year and so on.

That was how Tinubu deceived us with APC change in 2015 using his expired Buhari of four years earlier, only to scam us with renewed hope in 2023 again.

Anyway, the OP should get a car that is fuel efficient since APC leaders looters have failed to deliver their promises for cheap fuel.

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

Life is not about your individual self but about your different communities that we belong to.

What is the point of being a local champion, lone star ọkanlawọn one eyed king of blind people, who becomes an inconsequential nonentity in communities of people who all have two eyes 👀?


TheBedWench:
The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood) is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).

This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of  hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]

The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.

Louiscars:
2007 Toyota Camry ( solid car, but you’ll most likely face oil burn issues later on )
2005-2008 corolla ( actually a good option, just get a car tracker if you opt for it, it’s a thieve magnet )
2005 -6 Toyota Highlander ( you probably have kids or would need something with a higher ground clearance , it’s very reliable but then it’s a v6 )
- 2008 Honda Crv, honestly, this is the best option for you, absolutely wonderful cuv, nice interior has ground clearance, 4 plugs engine, maintenance friendly, fit the budget perfectly, just make sure you get a good unit
Whenever you’re ready to get any vehicle generally you can always reach out to me on 08028992075
Why do people overlook Toyota Matrix? Is it not a good car or is the price on the high side?

Actually it’s an amazing vehicle, shares same powertrain with the corolla, Infact if you’re someone who would like more cargo space or maybe you need something that looks different it’s a good choice too but as the downside as the corolla of being stolen or vandalized for part
