Car Talk / Re: Driving Overseas Vs Driving In Nigeria: Which Is Better? by Sladem05: 7:23am On Sep 28
Onwan:
My major problem out there is the seat belt and the $100 fine (its not funny at all) and too much monitoring.

For me, Naija is king.

There is no safety

AKAFINA101:
I was fined twice last week but what i learn from there fine policy here is that you are not meant to pay the fine instance like own Road Safety i was giving 15 days to pay. One for Over speeding and other for making U TURN when i should not have. I hope our Road Safety in Nigeria can work on this system not that you fine someone you want the person to pay instance or you seize his or her car.

Nigeria and Africa has by far the worst road safety measures. African driving is jungle driving😂. Hit and Run is the order of the day.

yusuf2:
i do not agree that "black" women are materialistic, i think that title should go to the Arabs. on the other hand, i can agree that Nigerian women "mostly those that are not financially independent" are very materiallistic, & i am of the opinion that Nigerian men are the cause of this due to how we always want 2 prove how financially strong we are to the ladies, what then do u expect of them "the ladies"? it has come to be an unwritten rule that the amount of loving u get from a nigerian woman is directly proportional with how much u're capable of spending on her. 2 bad.
Arabs come close but blacks are way worse

Google the dangers associated with EV production particularly the lithium-ion batteries that degrade the environment and does damage to the climate. It's not clean as being touted.. undecided

It’s better and more eco-friendly than ICE cars that pollute the environment. ICE vehicles ruined the environment. There is a lot more noise pollution too.

No investor would put down money he doesn't hope to see returns in his life time. If the investors behind Eko Atlantic were looking at 70 years as you claim, they would never have put down their money. Also, the American consul would not occupy the entire landmass. Clearly, Eko Atlantic is not a hot property. It's too pricy for the environment.
Why would I want to spend so much to buy an apartment in Lagos when I can buy in Rabat, Prague, and Lisbon.
Eko Atlantic many not be the first choice for global billionaires.
Is the project a failure? Too early to say. But it is clearly very ambitious.

Comparing to the modern world is even too much, South Africa, Kenya etc is so much better.

Several other factors besides availability of charging stations will determine the acceptability of EVs in the Nigerian market.

ValCon888:
Electric vehicles can never make a meaningful impact in society. Not in Nigeria and not abroad.

You know why?

Because the trucks that deliver them to the owners are still petrol and diesel powered trucks while 80% of the charging stations that power them get their power from fossil fuels like coal.

For Nigerians waiting to go electric, prepare to use your generator to charge your car cheesy


In another 50 years' time in the developed parts of the world, there will be no ICE vehicles around. The developed countries will have dumped them into Africa. Most industrial countries have place ICE Bans.

Honestly, honestly, have had the privilege of riding in some so-called exotic cars but i just think anything from the millennium cars (starting from baby boy and camry pencil) that gives max comfort is ok enough for any individual.

It’s not that you can’t own luxury things. But it’s the way you go about owning them and not going overboard. A wealthy westerner or Asian or Latino will live a simple, ordinary lifestyle for the most part. Yeah many will have their fair share of luxuries but they won’t go over the board and will attempt to blend into society. In that part of the world, you can bump into someone whom you don’t know is a billionaire, celeb or a politician but you won’t know. In the black world, average politician or wealthy person carries 15-20 car convoy everywhere they go. And their lifestyle is just vanity upon vanity.

A wealthy white, asian or latino will still live a normal life. A wealthy black man will live like a king

Explorers:
Billionaires are often thought of as lavish spenders, splurging on collections such as big houses, private resorts, clothes, shoes, and the most common of them all, cars. Many think that if they look at the garage of the world’s wealthiest, they’d surely find a Ferrari, Bentley or a Rolls Royce in it. But of course, there are still those billionaires who drive cars just like the average people do. In short, they choose to be humble and show the world that cars are not the status symbol of being extremely rich. Believe it or not, there are still quite a lot of humble billionaires out there. Here are some billionaires, celebrities who actually drive inexpensive cars.

Netherlands and Denmark are places where they really value bicycle. Here in Nigeria everybody wants to form big boy, but in those countries where people are really enjoying they don't see the need for all this extra.

Another thing is risk of accident and distance Sha. Imagine someone riding bicycle in Lagos. It is very risky na. Even okada that can sharply move out in case of incasity are not safe talk less of bicycle.

Business / Re: Warren Buffett Never Spends More Than $3.17 On Breakfast by Sladem05: 8:42pm On Sep 19
segunjowo:
If you are a business man sufficiently oriented and making money, invest more and don't be like some Nigerian politicians and celebrities flaunting their wealth all around. I have seen some Nigerian g-boys and other celebrities going around clubbing and spending money on MOET etc to the tune of thousands of Naira or even millions without a tangible investment in place. Learn from Warren Buffertt, guys!

Investing legend Warren Buffett is worth an estimated $86 billion, which makes him one of the richest people in the world. But you'd never know it from his lifestyle. The 87-year-old billionaire still lives in the five-bedroom home in Omaha, Neb., that he bought in 1958 for $31,500. And he never spends more than $3.17 on breakfast.
On his five-minute drive to the office, which he's been making for the past five decades, Buffett stops by McDonald's and orders one of three items: two sausage patties; a sausage, egg and cheese; or a bacon, egg and cheese.
"I tell my wife, as I shave in the morning, I say, 'Either $2.61, $2.95 or $3.17.' And she puts that amount in the little cup by me here" in the car, he explains in the HBO documentary "Becoming Warren Buffett." Each amount corresponds to one of his three go-to breakfast items.
"When I'm not feeling quite so prosperous, I might go with the $2.61, which is two sausage patties, and then I put them together and pour myself a Coke," he tells the documentary director Peter Kunhardt in the McDonald's drive-through. "$3.17 is a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, but the market's down this morning, so I'll pass up the $3.17 and go with the $2.95." Buffett proceeds to order a sausage, egg and cheese and pay using exact change.

Romance / Re: Nobody Is Humble, They Are Just Broke by Sladem05: 7:38pm On Sep 19
Nobody in this life is humble. Yes I said it with my full chest!
When you are broke it’s almost impossible to carry yourself with confidence because even if you manage to fool others that you’re rich your conscience will mock you and whisper to you that you’re fooling yourself. So you will find yourself tolerating insults, disrespect, and whatever and others will tag you “humble”.

In Africa people consider people with inferiority complex as humble people, because you don’t talk and always put up with bullshit they will say you’re humble meanwhile you’re like that because you have no real power or authority.

Money brings out your true nature. Yes you may not go around abusing people or bragging every minute but trust me when you have a bunch of money in your account you cannot be humble. The best you can do is to not be arrogant and mean but definitely not humble. You will have automatic confidence, you will speak your mind at all times and you will fear no single person. That is when society will tag you as proud because you will find yourself, the real you and not the one poverty conditioned you to be.

There is no humble person, just timid and broke people who have no money to act confident. Give them money and see if they will allow you walk over them.

you people keep disrespecting people and then emotionally blackmail them that they are humble just to keep them that way, I pray you make money in this life so you don’t take no disrespect from any person all in the name of being humble.

Only applies to Nigerians

KingClovisone:

If you do the math you would figure out quite easy that although Whites run around in this world they don't control it. If money is power then you might think the Rothschild Jews control the world because they have 100 trillion dollars. Yet the money is an illusion and is made up out of thin air. The real power behind Currency is precious metals and commodities. When you factor in Africa has the most precious natural resources than any continent and the lowest cost of living you have to adjust your figures. For instance, Nigeria is rich in oil and has a 58 percentage cost of living than the United States. The average wage earner in Nigeria makes about $2.00 U.S dollars per day. Nobody in America is going to work for that amount, even 2 dollars an hour. grin Yet a rich man can afford in Africa to hire lots of workers to build his mansion, work as servants and cooks for almost nothing. So these rich Africans aren't really spending any of their money to live or operate like businessmen abroad. They are living at an equal standard of high living as the Rothschilds while hiding behind 422 million poor souls living in abject poverty. Now who do you think controls the world? Remember the Moors were the manpower behind British, Belgium, and French colonization of Africa. Guns didnt defeat Africa or help the Whiteman win it was collusion.

There are tourist attractions in Nigeria. Nigeria has the equivalent tourist attractions of Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Mauritius, etc. The economy needs to grow so Nigerians can patronise them, and most importantly, infrastructure and security needs to be in place. When the economy was good, we patronised Obudu Resort.

I agree and it’s obviously not surprising that Nigeria can’t really compete in tourism with its rivals. Nigeria’s international reputation is not as good as those countries though. That’s another thing that affects global tourism.

It’s oblivious you don’t know what they call US passport. Just traveling Visa free is not the Koko. You will enter any country in the world with US passport , getting the visa is less stressful and most times they get visa on arrival. Do you get it?

The reason behind the craze of the US passport is due of how easy it is to get. Once a woman gives birth (even if she’s an illegal) within US territory. That child is an American. And being able to get a passport from a world power that easily is very enticing to tourists allover the world.

You’ve fallen for the lies of the American dream 😂. A)The US is in decline as the global superpower. B)The country’s reputation and thus diplomacy has taken a hit which affects the passport score
C) that’s not now how you measure passport strength. It’s no easier using a U.S. passport than an EU/Schengen or Canadian, UK etc to get visa on arrival somewhere. You’re greatly overestimating as to how strong blue passport is.

These days having a US passport the cons may exceed the pros
Having a passport from a world power in general makes it easier to get a visa in. The US passport doesn’t make it any easier. You seem to forget as to how much of a global laughing stock the US has become.

With Singapore, you can currently go to all the 195 countries in the world visa free. So your argument has been defeated. The US isn’t even in the top 5 strongest passports.

With a Singapore Passport, There is no visa documentation required to enter any country in the world. With the US, You have to fill out documentation and pay fees to go to many countries.

‘As the term suggests, visas-on-arrival are issued when the visitor arrives in a country. Travellers need not apply for a visa beforehand. Government authorities generally examine the visitor's passport and may collect any applicable fees before issuing the documentation’

Visa on Arrival is also not free like visa free travel is.
