AmuDimpka:



Dude go and sit please... Look at you! Are you better than Germans that produce the car and still drive it till date...

Do you guys even know how ridiculous you guys sound....


Please don't quote me again !


I no get una time.... No time for fake news

This one no fit even produce tyre... Everyone dey form!

Okay we don see you with your 2021 car limited edition . .... I hail !

Next

I can drive a 2005 car comfortably in Germany without stress and it will still be like new.
Can I do that in Nigeria?
It's like you love to miss the point.
Someday you will understand sha...

AmuDimpka:


Even in Berlin they still drive it...and I am not doubting the millions of cars you have owned


Even in Berlin they still drive 2005...

Oga I no fit argue all these una argument....

Thanks for understanding

So because they drive 2005 luxury in Berlin(mercedes home country) is reason enough to buy an extremely old car in a country like Nigeria where repair culture and technical know how is poor?
That is like signing a lifelong contract with impoverishment and car repair bills
People buy new luxury cars here so as to consume them while it still kicks for maybe 8-10 years and pass the carcass down the line to a wannabe to bury himself with Bills upon bills while smart oga moves to a newer,livelier car.
Think smart,bro.
Buy,use and pass the carcass...
That's how its done.
At the end of the day,it'll be like you were on rental throughout your lifetime and you will see how much you've saved using this technique.
Atleast it will spare you enough buck to invest time,energy and money in other important things than to spend time proving a point on a very old ML

Gabapentin:




that guy is suffering in silence

I just can't imagine how intellectually bankrupt one can be to say that a 2005 jalopy Mercedes is better than a 2015 Toyota Corolla

keep living in denial

Just imagine spending productive time in a workshop looking for "Male and female" gum to patch one hose that is falling apart or "knacking bushing" into a suspension part or carrying all sorts of oils in your booth to be topping up the engine and the ever shortening steering pump oil
I'm sure he and his mechanic are now on first name bases and probably spend his free time gisting and playing draft with his mechanic.
The most important person to him right now might be his mechanic.
Better to buy Okada than to drive a 20+ year old luxury car.
If you want argue just log into your banking app and see the deplorable state of your account balance...
You'll realise the only thing you've achieved since 3 years is repair Bill's for mechanic.
Your contact list be like;
Jeremiah steering pump
Odinaka oil cooler
Emeka radiator
James brainbox...etc ..

AmuDimpka:


This is it... Oga nobody is buying a car to impress... People are still driving 2005 cars ... Even in USA ! Those guys driving Lexus RX 300 that is 1998 and 1999 model nko....

Abeg make k hear word... Are you driving 2020 car?

You guys should be realistic for once !


Some people don't drive cars to resell, some drive ad give out ..he said he wants a Benz...periods and stop detailing this with your Corolla talks please...

He said he wants a Benz ! Advise him on a Benz and trust me that 2005 Benz iss far far better than that your Corolla...I wojd take it than your 2015 Corolla

It's a choice.... Please respect it

2005 Benz is not better than a newer corolla in any way.
I've owned a lot of Cars,mercedes too so I know what I'm saying.I actually love mercs than you but buying an old one is quite not smart.
I haven't seen a mechanic workshop in a long time because my car is relatively new,not because of marquee or whatever.
I would never advise anyone to buy an old mercedes.
If you never get money for luxury,forget luxury till money comes.
It might surprise you to know how people mock you when you drive pass in your 1999 ML.
No one will mock you if you were in a 99 corolla because you are clearly putting out a hustler message,rather than I wanna belong but too broke to belong
Emancipate from old luxury cars please,na advise.

AmuDimpka:


Bro... You can do C class any of these models ....
Don't go for 4matic or Komprsessor models ....

Don't listen to some of these clowns here... They drive japanese cars

You can comfortably maintain these cars... They rarely spoil ! I drove a c class 4 5 yrs and I never opened the engine just servicing ....

ML is good but it is a bit high and I will not advise first timer to do SUV

Old luxury cars are not quite it,you know.
A 2005 C class doesn't and can't wow anyone in 2020.Nothing like "bad guy is here" untop 15 year old mercedes
I got my 05 C class in 2014 and it kind of lost its wow factor around 2016/17 when the w204 became common.
So if you don't have money for luxury,go for basic rather than buy ancient luxury and prove to the world how poor you are.
I went Car shopping this year again,wanted the W212 facelift but I couldn't afford it and went straight to a corolla.
It's not that corolla is the best but its suits my budget more.I can always resell easily whenever I make enough money to buy a W212 2015.
Also,old luxury cars are nightmares,it can breakdown on you any moment,disgrace you and literally turn you to a mechanic and make you spend a lot of productive time on an old piece of shit car!
Unless of course the old mercedes is an only achievement to a person,I see no reason why anyone should buy a luxury car above 7 years in this age,plain stupid IMO.
There are better things to do with life than looking for where to buy tokunbo parts always to impress people that don't just care cos your car dont Impress them no more for being TOO OLD,whereas the owner thinks he is actually a baller
Delusional!

missjekyll:


LMFAO. Come on now, spill it...what else are they up to?

This youtube channel I found shows how Indians and Tunisians do theirs. It gets really scary as they can remotely access your computer. I am not happy to share the link here so as not to give anybody ideas. But ,I will just say this.,invest in good antivirus and vpn. Delete suspicious emails. Do not take suspicious calls

What they do is cloning.
They'll clone apps and give you registration steps that would expose your details to them.
When they have those details,sorry.
Na back to back debit alert you go dey receive.
Also they hack emails and steal sensitive informations too.
They also impersonate via web.
To be safe,avoid those platforms at all cost.
Or operate multiple accounts with limited funds in the account for online transactions.
I am conventional,I do all my transfers via pen and paper,no bank entry,no transfer.

missjekyll:


The app is downloaded off Android app store. You provide the documents inside the app not on the web.

I have been using them for 3 months happily. I dont mean to knock Nigerian fraudsters but they never reach to hack app. They are still doing phishing

Are you sure of this?

missjekyll:


I registered my debit card,provided identification documents and voila it was done. Download and try. it cant hurt to try

It doesn't hurt to try till he registers and input his details on a clone website and have his account cleared...
Nkpucha aburu ujo ooo

emmanuelewumi:



You spent 10 hours or less every week running your side hustle and it gives you 50% of the income from your full time hustle.


If you turn the side hustle to full time hustle, spending minimum of 40 hours every week. In 2 years times all things being equal you will make 200% of your former salary unless you are not a born entrepreneur.

Exactly.
The only reason his friend is still running his farm as a side hustle is because it isn't profitable enough or worse,running at a loss
Maybe his friend might even be paying his labourers their "salary" from his "salary" and crying to bed every night.
Business hard ooo...

emmaodet:

Yes, to me, this is the major factor.
Others are government policies, competitors, buyers/wholesalers/distributors/marketers that won't mind buying off your goods or products at ridiculous prices far below the cost of production, theft from workers, machinery breakdown, power/electricity shortage etc and the list goes on and on and on.
Sometimes, i look at how indians, Lebanese, Pakistanis, chinese are surviving and making a lot of profits in this same nigeria economy and sometimes i believe they are doing shaddy deals behind to pad the profit like cocaine. I may be wrong though.

Indians,Lebanese,etc...succeed because they come with good money.
Wetin money no fit do,too much money go do am.
For instance,Indians doing well here are in retail.
They come with good capital,establish good and clean structure,bring all products under one conducive roof and sell even cheaper than your regular "iya big nyarsh" for dirty market.
Tell me,why won't he make it?
How they do it is that all the products they sell is sourced directly and they eliminate almost all middle men,giving good room for competitive pricing.
Iya big nyarsh buy from sub distributors with her 100k capital at very high prices with high overhead making her pricing high upon dirty market she sells in.
Why I go leave spar go iya big nyarsh shed?
Succesful Lebanese are in a niche market(construction) built for them by their great grandfathers.
Leave those ones,them hold money and connection die.
If you have money as a manufacturer and distributors dey form for you to buy your product and dey want dictate price for you,simply open retail outlets yourself and crash the price and watch him suffocate na

ojesymsym:
Is this because of the Nigerian factor of workers wanting to kill a person's business or more than that?

Everywhere in the world,if you no guide your business well,your employees will use your money and shine.
It's not a Nigerian thing only.

emmaodet:


You are absolutely right bro.
This is what am facing too.
I guess you will have to leave one for one.
You will have to sacrifice your comfort for a life of uncharted territory.

Na person weh no know.
Business is very very very hard but it pays if you can navigate the storm.

unite4real:


He is a chartered accountant and if after 7 years of running a farm and it's not profitable, he would have abandoned it. He told me is making profits. I can't be asking him to prove it

If Nestlè,GM and co that have a host of accountants and a full economic team still lose sometimes for 4 years in a row and still working,I wonder why your friend is bigger than loses just because he is an accountant.
You want him to abandon his farm because it isn't profitable after 7 years?
You think say business na yahoo yahoo abi wetin?

Grupo:

Lol. Always quick to mention Dangote and a few other exceptions.

Bezos is in America. Had rich parents.

Even if he didn't have rich parents, he had a lot of back up.

He could easily get a job in a fast food that will pay his bills until he's back on his feet.

In Nigeria, job at a fast food pays ₦10k a month which cannot even feed a child for two weeks.

In the US,minimum wage cannot also take care of kids and one will barely survive.
Do you know how many entrepreneurs that don't even have any certificate and are doing so well that to pay some of your salaries will be cake walk?
You want me not to call Dangote?bruv if I call some of the people I know in business you won't know them na,not that they don't exist.
They are in hundreds littered throughout PH,Aba,Onitsha,Alaba,lagos island,Vgc...etc..
Same way if you mention some average guy in corporate Nigeria earning and barely surviving on 300k a month that drives a 2010 corolla I won't know na.
But if you mention some CEOs now I might know.
Look entrepreneurs will be entrepreneurs,while workers will be workers.
I have respect for the 2 but an entrepreneur does not need to start from corporate world if he knows what he is doing.

Grupo:


Business like smuggling fake wine into the country and passing it off as original?

Fake ke?lol.
If only you knew
New product/shipment coming to a store near you soonest

Grupo:


What's the weird about what I have said?

Did Dangote,bill gates,Jeff Bezos,alhassan rabiu,Vincent obianodo,orju uzor kalu,obi Jackson,etc...raise money for their businesses from salary?
Entrepreneurs would be entrepreneurs while some people are designed for corporate world.
Although some later become entrepreneurs by stealing ideas and contacts in their time in the corporate world,others are daring enough to go straight into business after formal education and they do succeed,infact most times they are the most succesful.
If you have been in good business,you will understand what I am saying.

Nwokeomajayb:
Don’t say this outside to people they’ll laugh at you. Dumbest thing I heard this week Jesus Christ.

I wanted to ask him some questions like what if the person was already in business while in school but I decided to ignore to avoid argument and plenty shalaye.

unite4real:


I have a friend who works in an international agency here in Nigeria, earning close to 1M monthly. He also has a farm that he is running successfully.

Have you seen his books?
Having a farm doesn't mean it is profitable or succesful.
How do you know his farming is successful?
It is very difficult to run a profitable farm and combine it with a day job.

Me na. Olosho finish my money for Cameroon. Now am back to square one in my village.

Hi, it's me Raissa.

Longest time

I also miss you too but you need to send me 20,000 naira cash so we can meet. Dm for my bank account

Oboy this format don cast tey tey..
Besides if you be better scammer,you for read my message and you for see say I say Raissa no dey ask me money,
Learner.

grandlexuz:


You sure do know your way around Cameroon. Yeah Ndoumbe is more of a Duala name but her mum could be Bassa though, a tribe closely related to the Dualas. Can't stop laughing at the leech describtion.

Yeah naija girls and anglophone are money hungry.
They behave the same and wear funny makeup the same way looking like scare crows.
But francophone are naturally beautiful with very fresh skin and easy going.
I think I will retire in Limbe or Sao tome and principle someday when I make enough money.
Cameroun is a nice country with easy going people,no discrimination again like in the past for Nigerians.

grandlexuz:


I am glad to hear of your adventures in Cameroon. Lots of Cameroonian girls can be very loving. Was Raissa an Anglophone or Francophone? How long ago was that? Do you know her surname?

She was Francophone.
Anglophone girls and naija leeches are the same.Only a francophone girl can love you for you till death so you part.
It was 4 years ago or so...
Her surname was Ndoumbe and I think she is Bassah or so.
They lived in Bonaberi,I think her dad worked for AES,she was a twin,she later went to further her studies i think in languages in one higher institution in Douala.
This was where we parted ways as I couldn't keep up a lot as my business made me travel around countries a lot.

Vyzz:
If u are talking about beauty and endowed women....

Na Brazil...

Mexico

India

Naija


SA...

Some Eastern and norther African girlz

Commot naija from that list.
Go to Douala and see something
Which kind naija you dey talk about?
You no even call SA.
You don travel so?

Douala la belle ville.
I remember Raissa too in my time in littoral.
Tall,super fine,calm to a fault,beautiful,her smile,her waist ...
Girl loved me die but was too busy shuttling up and down for money.
Today small better don dey I can no longer find raissa.
I've tried Facebook,Instagram,everything to no avail.
Cameroon get women abeg!!
And the funny thing is there was a day this girl sent me money while I was in an emergency and never bothered to ask.
I miss her die
If you ever this Raissa,don't hesitate to reach out to me.
I met you in Buea when you were studying English final year and I was just a hustler.
I still miss you till this day

If a whole MAN who has cheap dollars to their advantage is complaining,I wonder why some argue this glaring fact.
CBN commot hand for naira,if una like make una no listen.Keep pleasing the fùcking masses at the expense of the nation's industrialisation.
If you want buy import,please pay the real price for it and stop enjoying free subsidy because of Nigeria leaders quest for re-election.
