Caaz:
It's a liability if the car is not on the road and bringing money.

That is a poor Nigerian mentality. Not all cars are purchased for commercial purpose.

kpankpangolo:
A clean conscience fears no accusation. Keep chasing shadows.

With your 'rich education', you still move around a public forum joblessly posting irrelevant things.

kpankpangolo:
Funny how with AI being ubiquitous these days, many choose to remain ignorant. Poor education is a bad thing.

Coming from someone who posts useless and shallow topics on Nairaland.

Nor let anybody whine you. Car is a necessity and not a liability. Toyota Camry 2003/2004 model (Big for Nothing) still dey game. The car is strong and durable with less fuel consumption.

I find it really amusing when people say car is a luxury and liability. To be sincere, I see it as a way backward thinking. It clearly shows that the damage that a bad economy can cause to the brains of citizens and their way of reasoning is beyond what many of us can imagine.

It is only in this part of the world that people see car as luxury, and owning one is often seen as owning a liability. Let me tell you today for free, owning a car is owning an asset. In case you still do not understand it, A CAR IS AN ASSET AND NOT A LIABILITY.

Many Nigerians have always seen car as liability even when a litre of fuel was N47.

Benefits of Owning a Car

1. Comfort: A private car gives you comfort and makes you avoid the unnecessary troubles of Nigerian commuters. Many people are sad and depressed. Some are frustrated. They don't mind quarrelling with you over space inside keke or bus. Others don't mind keeping their loads on your legs just to inconvenience you inside a bus or Keke.

2. Ease of movement: There are type of places you stay, and you will understand the importance of owning a car. The distance of your house to the main road is something else. Bikes and Keke do not go inside because they fear coming out without carrying any passenger, and that is a huge lose on their part. Think of a situation where it rains or you are carrying something heavy or fragile. You go cry nwii for Nnewi.

3. Time management: Owning a car can make you manage your time better. The way passengers and drivers quarrel, argue, and fight over time wastage in loading passengers, inaccurate issuance of change, and other issues due to the high level of frustration in the country is on another level. The issue of pick and drop can take a chunk of your time and make you late for a meeting, an appointment or work.

4. Provision of comfort for your family: Taking your kids to school is easier when you own a car. This also extends to family outings when you would need to take your wife and kids to an entertainment spot for relaxation. Just imagine the whole family squeezing themselves inside a Keke or dragging space with strangers inside bus. Na lack of money make poor man say beer dey bitter.

5. You can earn with your car: Some people use their car as a means of making money through car hailing services like Bolt, etc. I have seen folks use such to rake in good money every month.

Final Note

Just buy a car that you can easily maintain. The ones that have parts readily available in the market. I recommend Toyota products. Nor go buy car wey your power nor reach just to prove that you have arrived. Do not purchase a car that is unique and uncommon because you want to be the only one in town driving such. Na unique and uncommon problems dey wait you too.

If you are citing maintenance as reason not to buy a car, you may die without buying one. Nor be only car dem dey maintain. You also maintain house, wife, children, and even girlfriend.

GloriousGbola:
these riff raff spend time they should be using to better themselves making up incel stories about women.

but the real tell is that so many women who actually do decide to go for lower tier guys get murdered or killed often for rituals

The same 'riff-raffs' have achieved more in life than your biological father.

We were greeted with the tragic news of a young lady, Mmesoma Umeorini from Uga Community in Anambra State few days ago. She was brutally murdered by her ex boyfriend, Chima Ofoeke. Mmesoma was just 23 years old!

Over the weekend, I have gotten concrete information from friends in Uga in Anambra State. One was even a kinsman from the same kindred. I have been briefed on what actually transpired between the late Mmesoma Umeorini and Chima Ofoeke. I totally condemn taking anybody's life for whatever reason, and I pray the laws of the land punishes the murderer adequately because by taking the life of the young lady, he has limited his own right to live. There is a popular idea in law that states that "Your right to swing your arms ends where the right to protect my nose starts". Chima Ofoeke deserves to die for taking someone's life.

Why Our Young Women Should Be Careful.

Chima Ofoeke rented a shop for the late Mmesoma Umeorini. He also rented an apartment for her. This could have cost him millions. Unknowingly to him, the girl was planning to get married to another man by December 2026. According to family sources, and information from the chairman of Uga Town Union, the man who was coming to marry her was planning to bring drinks in December, of which the family had been preparing for.

My Questions

1. Since you knew already that you would be getting married to someone else, why collect material things from a man you knew you weren't ready to spend the future with?

2. Why not refund him the money he had invested in you so far, rather than sending him a breakup text message? Just like that?

3. Why not tell him not to invest in you because you don't see any future with him while he was paying for a shop and apartment?

4. What did the parents of the 23 year old girl do when they discovered that their daughter was planning to get married to another man who isn't the one that has been sponsoring her? Did they even bother to know how the house and shop came about? That is another case of parental irresponsibility.

I would advise young Nigerian ladies to be careful with how they collect material things, money, gifts from men. Any meat you know you cannot chew, don't bite it. If you know you do not love a man to the extent of spending the future with him, cut off immediately and stop collecting things from him. It is the spirit of greed and "I am smart, I am smart" that lead to things like this. Be contented with what you can create for yourself. Do not prove to be too smart, because that 'smartness' can eventually lead to your untimely death.

A word is enough for the wise. Know your way nor be curse.

ugwumichael:
Gross irresponsibility on display

It is really terrible. A shameful act. He should have done it in his house.

A mini bus driver parked his bus on the road in New Owerri area of Owerri to masturbate. The event took place in broad daylight while other transporters were busy looking for passengers to increase their daily earnings. Konji is truly a baskard!

An angry Nigerian lecturer was visibly seen destroying Tinubu's poster in Lekki, Lagos State. The man seemed not to care about the presence of a security officer. On the other hand, the officer looked away, clearly showing that he felt unbothered by the angry man's action.

I TELL UNA SAY NIGERIANS DON TIRE FOR APC AND THEIR SHENANIGANS.

HERE IS A LECTURER TEARING TINUBU BILLBOARD IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN FRONT OF SECURITY OFFICER.
NOBODY SEND TINUBU AND APC ANYMORE.

The good old days when Nollywood was still Nollywood.

Yes ooooo, the good old days.

There are some photos I see, and they remind me of yesteryears. This is a rare throwback photo of late Francis Duru, Olu Jacobs, and Ashley Nwosu. Legendary Nollywood veteran actors.

We remember:

Sam Loco Efe
Dede One Day
Amaechi Muonagor
Pete Eneh
Fabian Adibe
JT Tom West
John Okafor
Enebeli Elebuwa
Justice Esiri
Saint Obi
Ada Ameh
Junior Pope Odonwodo
Muna Obiekwe
David Offor aka Clarus
Alex Ekubo
Oby Kechere
Ernest Asuzu
Emmanuel France aka Tufancha
Jennifer Okere Ossai
Geraldine Ekeocha
Bisi Komalafe
Francis Agu
David Ihesie
Bukky Ajayi

This reminds me of the African play 'Sizwe Bansi Is Dead". Behind the lively photo studio where people go to have nice photoshoots with their family, there is a funeral parlour where their dead bodies are also prepared for burial. The greatest thing in life is life itself.

He can say emi lokan, if he is sure it is his turn,he is not a baby politician like you

Move go front. Nor be me you go use take practice how to be a psychiatric patient.

Enugu has stable power supply. I can attest to that. I lived in Enugu for 10 years and enjoyed at least 18 to 20 hrs power supply in a day.

You could have led the way by disputing my comments sensibily but unfortunately, baabu

No need arguing with people like you. You are just an online joke.

helinues:
Okay, who is the better alternative?

If you mentioned Atiku or Obi, you might be attracting thunder to yourself

Look for something sensible to say. I was told that people get more sensible as they grow older, but I do not know what to say in your own case.

delpee:
Hmmm! The opposition's campaign seems to be deeply rooted in insulting the President. The focus should be on their plan and how they plan to accomplish same. That was how the campaigns of the past panned out. Makinde can do better.

Was that how APC treated Goodluck Jonathan? Was Jonathan not called all sorts of derogatory names? Or you have forgotten so soon. We witnessed everything, so stop sounding as if we were born last night.

The Allied Peoples Movement, APM, presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde, on Thursday, criticised President Bola Tinubu’s popular “Emi Lokan” slogan ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Makinde said Nigerians did not need “turn-by-turn nepotism”, arguing that voters should be free to decide who becomes the country’s next president in 2027.

The Oyo State governor spoke during the APM’s town hall meeting in Akure, Ondo State.

According to Makinde, “How can someone say, ‘Eemi lokan’, in a country like Nigeria? You were given the opportunity. If you recall the 1999 presidential election, the South-West voted massively for Baba Olu Falae, but the rest of Nigerians voted for Baba Obasanjo. So, this is not an issue that only the South-West can resolve; it is an issue we must address collectively as Nigerians.

“We do not want ‘turn-by-turn nepotism’, nor do we want a situation where people say, ‘I will vote for projects because it is my turn’. You will not finish those projects, and when it becomes someone else’s turn, they will do the same thing. We will end up with a Nigeria where we cannot get value for the resources belonging to Nigerians.

“The Reset Nigeria agenda is about building a country where infrastructure development supports economic growth and addresses the concerns of young people and women.

“Once we fix our economy, no zone will be left behind, and no demographic group will be left behind".

If you are a young person who wants peace of mind, privacy, and you are ambitious and focused on your dreams, avoid this type of building. It is usually associated with the following:

1. Loud noise from children and annoying adults.

2. Gossips here and there. They will talk about your clothes, the way you walk, the time you usually come home, and all sorts of irrelevant things.

3. There is trouble lurking everywhere. The more the people, the greater the troubles.

4. There are lots of idle women and men whose occupation is to forment trouble.

5. You won't have privacy. Your every move is followed by various eyes.

Nigeria, one step forward, ten steps backward.

Vote buying strategy that will yield no results

This man is simply cruel, he knows he was over taxing them and changing now for political reasons, he equally forced the KEKE RIDERs to attend an arranged rally where they were coarced to accept endorsing Peter Mbah,

The only problem in Enugu state is that the credible alternative in NDC is not serious at all and there is always rumors that the Governor is bankrolling him to reduce the PDP candidate votes

Ndi ara

You are very correct. Same thing I have said.

Blunt99:
Elections induced policies are no genuine policies and surely not goodwill.

Let the manipulation begins.

It like sharing bread on election eve or few weeks and months before election,

After the people have painfully endure 3 years with water and bread.

But the people are too slow to understand this.


Next!

Exactly my point. I'm glad someone is also seeing what I have seen.

Peter Mbah is just doing this for election purposes. Enugu people should not be fooled. Why did he not take this action all this while? Make nobody tell me nonsense. I lived in Enugu for almost 10 years.

Fiscus105:
Most especially TikTok, the way they are using it to miseducate people, I pity the gullible ones among them.

Atimes, I if I read some comments coming out from so-called married women, you would notice this is beyond contents and many are swayed by complete wrong advice from social media.

Those same people know nothing about feminism. They are just some bitter set of creatures who must have had nasty experiences based on the wrong choice of men in relationships.

Stephen0mozzy:
Na them.... Very olodo set of people. They claim movements and ideas that they can't even define its meaning or purpose.

The same set of people that will use the word "narcissist" for any and everything.

I have seen countless content on feminism from Nigerians and it is really terrible because it actually deviates from what feminism is meant to be.

I remember growing up in Nigeria in the 80s and 90s, and how less dramatic relationships and marriages were. How less toxic institutions that involve the masculine and feminine genders were. Today, it is a whole new concept filled with extreme toxicity, sheer bitterness and unimaginable level of drama due to the Nigerian version of feminism.

The internet has made it possible for anyone to create a page or platform on social media to miseducate, mislead, and brainwash folks who might be too gullible to think critically and rationally for themselves. It is very pertinent to note that the Nigerian version of feminism is almost equivalent to pure madness.

What is feminism? FEMINISM is the belief in and advocacy for full social, economic, and political equality between women and men. What are the key areas of feminism? 1. Equal opportunity 2. Protection from violence 3. Reproductive rights. Looking at the focus areas of feminism as an idea in general and what is obtainable in the Nigerian internet space as feminism, one begins to wonder if this strange Nigerian version is feminism or madness. Real feminists should be fighting for equal opportunities for women. Real feminists should be canvassing for protection of women against violence, and the protection of women's rights. Those ones who create social media platforms to brainwash other women to hate men, insult men, and ridicule men are not feminists. They are mad people who have been soaked in the ocean of bitterness.

Feminism is NOT an idea that paints men as rapists, evil, and bad intentioned as opined by many self-acclaimed overnight Nigerian feminists. Feminism is NOT an idea that ridicules men who cannot provide all the material things that a woman wants. Feminism is NOT an idea that teaches a young woman to be bitter, stubborn, disobedient, disloyal, insultive, and dramatic unnecessarily towards men. The core ideas revolving around feminism are equal opportunities and protection from violence against women. The idea by many self-acclaimed overnight Nigerian feminists that every man is a potential rapist is an advanced stage of madness and a direct insult to the very man whose sperm mixed with their mothers' eggs to produce them.

There is a confusing aspect to this. You call yourself a feminist. Fine and good. You believe men are scum and evil. Fine and good. But why do you still depend on the same people who are scum and evil for your financial and material needs? You are fighting patriarchy but you still depend on the same partriachy for survival. What a warped mentality!

Every society has roles for its genders. The Nigerian society is a partriachal society. You cannot fight it and win till everyone of us leaves the surface of this Earth. That is the basic truth. Believing otherwise will turn out to be really bad for your health.
