you can drive your car since you have evidence of payment, in case, police stops you on the road

People no dey hear word, the pressure and quest to appear rich is putting people in unnecessary debts in the abroad.. A friend landed Canada some months ago and he was trying to convince me on why buying a car on financing is good. I asked him one simple question, if you were in Nigeria, would u be able to afford this car? He said No, I asked so why do u think u need it now. This was 2 months after he landed in Canada ooo.

Two key words are my mantra:
Delayed gratification
Budgeting

l de tell you....l asked the guy if he has maxed out his £20k ISA account for NYSE stocks as April is fast approaching and he said he has not opened the ISA account l told him to open since January 2022 and cannot save anything because of the car financing taking out £600 per month for the next 4 years. He has learnt his lessons (101)....

You know it's a lovely thing to drive a brand new car (tear rubber)........

For the 1st few month's, the car go dey shack person ......

After a few month's and almost £2000 already paid + other financial pressures joining that long queue.......

Would you still love that car ............😂😜

A friend l adviced to buy a car with his cash de way l bought mine and moved on refused and he de hear am now, na why l de laugh....nostalgia....

seunpinky:
Although I am based in Canada, what u have written here applies across board. From the short time I have spent in mapleland, I have come to realise that the major mistake most new immigrants make is financing a car. So many older immigrants have made that same mistake and they keep telling the newer immigrants not to make that same mistake but these pleas often falls on deaf ears. The adrenaline to drive a brand new car pushes a lot of immigrant into untold hardship.

To further buttress my point, in Canada as of today the average salary is $75k per annum which equates to 4K per month after taxes. The average 2021-2023 car costs approximately $800 per month coupled with insurance cost of $400 per month and fuelling costs of $300 per month. Before the twinkle of an eye, you are set back $1,500 per month because u want to drive a brand new car and show off to people that don’t care about what u drive.

I am preacher of the buy a older car cash down ($5k) and move on with ur life. 3 years down the line after u have gathered valuable investments (real estate, stocks, a biz) u can then buy the car of your choice.. This is the approach I have chosen, to each mallam his kettle😂

over sense de worry u
if you know you know.....

Lexusgs430:
- How secure is your Job
- How comfortable are to subscribing to vehicle ownership
- Do you want to outrightly own the vehicle, after full payment is made
- Do you want to keep driving a new car, every 3 years (subject to deal )
- Do you fully understand both concepts of car ownership
- Have you weighed the consequences of a default
- Would you rather buy an older vehicle, for under £2000 (and pay cash)
- Once the nostalgia wears off, would you still be happy with your decision

Many more questions, but it's past my bedtime.......

At the end of the day, nobody can advice which option is BEST ...... Arm yourself with the conditions and make an informed decision............😁😂🤣

It’s too late he has already opened his mouth. If he doesn’t go he will be found guilty of contempt of court ( legal gurus please feel free to correct me). If he goes he could be putting his life and family in danger. So he is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. If you want to look on the what is the right thing to do. If people don’t come forward how can crimes be solved? If you or your family were involved, you would hope that an eye witness would come forward, in order for justice to be served

May God protect him and his family and may justice be served....

Hello my people,

I need a serious advice please , I made a mistake and I need help in regards with the issue.

There was a fight in one of the 5 flats opposite mine. It resulted into police action which they came knocking at our door. I was about leaving home for work in the morning and I was asked what I can say in regards to the seen. I informed them I saw an hammer with someone I can't really describe except that the person is bald.

Now the issue is that I got a letter to come forward to the court as a withness to the crime committed by my neighbor. My mind has not been at rest since I got the letter cos of the likely public display of me as a withness.

I am thinking of going to the police station that I'm not comfortable doing this as i felt that I might not be safe living in that area anymore.
Kindly advise on this move.

And anyone with experience in such aspect should please advice.

Next time close mouth and move on....

I think going to the police station is fine to let them know your not comfortable and let's see what they will do.

Happy New Year 2023 BnSITL....more celebrations...

Just making our bucket list for 2023
I am planning of going home with my family at some point in this year, I am from the rural part of South Western Nigeria.

My son is 2 years old and has never been to Nigeria. His Dad is white Scottish .

Please what are the safety precautions for food and water safety? Do I need to go with bottled water from here or just boil water at home for them? What are the dos and don't? Do you think it is wise to go now that he is 2 years old or I should wait a bit longer? What are the necessary immunisations to take? Please kindly help a confused mum. Thank you xx

Normal 'pure water' or bottled water for naija should be ok nah.

Routine immunizations upto date should be ok..

Get anti-malaria medication

I do hope this is not 'village people calling'

Wait a little let the insecurity level and the election tension reduce a beg

But you have the final decision to make......

Ooh great and what app or platform do you suggest one to use for the Stocks and Shares?

Try Freetrade app or Moneybox app or Trading212 or IG stockbroker or Nutmeg or AJbell stockbroker.

I use Moneybox for cash LISA and Trading212 for stocks & shares ISA...
