Sometimes it could be a business decision.
Having a certain kind of car could allow you roll with people in a higher social class.
This in turn could help you get contracts among such people.

I once heard a story about a guy who attended a business/contract meeting driving a 'small' car.
The guy impressed the stakeholders so much during his pitch and he was assured of getting the contract.
After the meeting, the MD walked with him as they were discussing until they got to where the guy parked his car.
The countenance of the MD changed immediately he saw the guy's car but the MD said nothing.
On his way driving back to Lagos, he got a text which informed him that unfortunately they could not offer the contract to him.

What do you think could have prompted that?

Car is a liability while landed property is not. With car comes dependence on cost of fuel which is costly.

My view is that you plan according to your pocket. That 3 million can get you a plot of land with a roof over your head. With no land lord to knock on your gate every year with increment of rent noticification.

you talk about building house like it is buying fufu... i dont know where you stay... but i stay in lagos and you really dont want to know the price of land around where i stay... so i should suffer trekking and jumping bus cuz i dont have up to 30 mill to buy a land... when i can take just 3mill to buy a nice car?

Mercedes Benz Glk, Toyota Venza, Honda accord 2010 model, Acura ZDX, Toyota Hybrid, honda crosstour etc.
They basically wake up every morning to wash the car like it's the most important asset they own in life, whereas the money used for the purchase of some of these cars could help them start a petty business and even start building houses. Don't you think it's just the prestige and social class and the fact that they want to gain the approval of their peers as being well-off that's driving them to commit to buying such expensive cars?

Lol... am not a member of the NPF, am just someone fascinated by consumption behaviour of people. I am of the opinion that one should purchase something if it is absolutely necessary given the situation one finds his/ herself in. I was in Warri recently, where I went to see a friend and stayed over, and in the area, there were families living in a one room apartment on average, 3 children in the house and a very expensive car is parked outside, don't you think it will be rational to get a bigger apartment for the family than spend huge amount on a car, while the children are literally struggling to feed and attend better schools?
