According to Wikipedia This is the garage of the Second Nigerian Senate President Prince Nweke Nwafor from 1960 to 1966. I vividly Recall the story of a man who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude. You wouldn't buy that car for 50k today. Some other guy brutally murdered his brother ( whom their father gave cash 2 travel 4 the purpose of re- stocking their warehouse), just cos he wanted to acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep. That same vehicle is now better described as a coffin. I Remember as a kid, my whole street gathered to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbour's house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every student's room. What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V boot, 505Evolution, Toyota Crown, all overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti, Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity... Vanity! Some ladies left their true loves cos some rich guy then persuaded them with a Benz 190, which turned out to be the only car they ever owned till date. They found out too late that true love is invaluable. A friend declared drinks because he launched the Nokia Communicator for over hundred grand in 2002. Today that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phones. What about the MTN SIM card that many people went extra miles before they bought for over 30k, today you will not buy it at N100 because all networks are begging people to even take it for free. People are still making the most horrific sacrifices over 'vanity' and make enemies over worthless material things. What can I say? Look back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today and see what becomes of it tomorrow. There is absolutely nothing you can't achieve. All you need is a little time and PATIENCE and you would thank God without regrets. There is actually nothing in this world that is worth dying for, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!!

I love this write-up. One of the most sensible I've ever read on this sub. God bless you.

Hahahahahaha.. In the next 50 years everything existing now will be so obsolete too. That's life... Time and chance happens to all things

50yrs for this jet age? Give them 10yrs max.

those are vintage cars and they worth thousands of dollars. export them and become a millionaire.

@OP.

What's your point? Must we all live an ascetic life? Abeg free those who love nice things and want to surround themselves with such.

We only live once. Hard-working and honest people should indulge themselves and not care what the "vanity upon vanity" crew think.

Most are just poor losers who have given up on life and want to make everyone else miserable about their wealth and success as if it is a crime to have both.

Nigeria never had a Senate President called Prince Nweke Nwafor. Please, crosscheck your facts before you post anything.

Indeed. Any rare or classic vehicle pre-1960 is worth serious dosh. The 1955 Mercedes SL Gullwing below is selling for 1.25 million euros. Love those cars die. Might kill for one actually. Lol.
