Over 3mil for 2003 corolla? Oga you lie . 2009 corolla sells for 3.8mill

I no blame you. I got contact of people at Begger, Lagos and 2.9 was the least. Here in Owerri it was 3.2 last and 3.15 at Port Harcourt. Where is the lie?

xperiencelove:
Don't be short-sited. Though I don't use Corrola because of the balance at high speed but Corrola is to the world not Nigeria alone because it tolerate any type and kind of abuse.

POS operations has been a blessing to many Nigerians in many ways to both operators and their customers. From my house to the nearest bank is 20mins drive and 40mins for to and fro if their is not traffic congestions and the machines will still tell me 'Unable to dispense cash' after several trails when I can only add #100 to every 5000 I am collecting at the gate of my street!
If something doesn't benefit you, it doesn't mean others are not benefiting immensely from it.
Stop abusing Nigerians ignorantly.

With due respect sir, Corolla does not tolerate abuse, no car does. Do you know the agonies of the owners of all those Nigerian used Corolla littered everywhere for sale? Do you know what the initial owners passed through...?

Flappy222:
This man!

Don't buy Corolla if you're married because the time you should be thinking about your wife, you'll use it and be thinking about your car before you know it you'll start having issues with your woman

chronique:
Nigerians(especially Nigerian mechanics) made it so. Any small thing, they'd tell you to buy corolla because it doesn't consume fuel... Anyways, I have a clean 2003 corolla for less than 3m though. Just in case you are interested. You can dm me on whatsapp 07065614087.

Whereas that is a blatant lie.

shortgun:
Corolla is over hyped, dull,unsafe and uninspiring piece of ugly metal that is littered all over our roads.
It's the band wagon mentality of Nigerians that made the car expensive, Nigerians like to copy others without any assurance that what they are copying will favour them.
Same reason every corner of every street is filled with POS operators.
Same reason every parent want their children to be Doctors or lawyers.

Nigerians are mentally lazy to research any product, scheme or brand they want to commit money into....this is why Ponzi people are cashing out big.

The only condition that a Nigerian needs to do a thing is if someone has done it before.

Corolla will continue to be over priced as long as we have brain washed people with no ability to think for themselves.

The annoying part is that the drivers of this abomination of a car now behave like that proverbial butterfly that thinks itself a bird.... imagine a corolla challenging a 3.0l engine vehicle to a race.

It's still a mystery how Corolla challenges highlander in terms of price

bonnyhope:
Last year I intentionally sold mine and I bought Matrix, although it is corolla in another shape.

Corolla now is like pure water

Na you be the person wey sell monkey buy dog...all dey squat

tonididdy:
Resale value and Uber potentials but at 3m for an oh3 is totally avoidable.

Same car was worth 1.8 4yrs ago (direct toks)

Na the Uber factor mostly

Anchor84:
I hv a 2004 corolla for 2.7m

Nigerian used, shey?

Thanksful:
Don't mind him. Either he didn't read your write up or he didn't understand what you wrote.

Thank you

The houses on the first pictures didn't appear in the second set of pics. Did they demolish the houses after they did the new road?

Something seems wrong

It's a road and not a spot. I took the pictures while on bike. The whole expanse of road was bad

Make sure you don't loose guard, maka ndi ntoro

After

We all remember how orjisblog persistently brought the bad state of Ohi-Orogwe road to the attention of the public albeit comically. The road was started by Emeka Ihedioha but was abandoned when he was removed from office by the supreme court.

The good news is that the road has finally been constructed. It would have been fair for orjisblog bring the cheering news to nairaland as well.

The above notwithstanding, I commend the guy for speaking up

doggedfighter:
I tell you.

What is the use of cheap spare parts and low

fuel consumption when I can't sleep with my two eyes closed.

You're talking of sleep, do you even drive a lonely road with your normal heartbeat?

cutedharmee:
The way people now uses corolla . You'll think there's more to it.

I tire o

oztin:
Back in the days M190 go the same way and Rx 300

M190 reigned amidst P504, V-boot, that other Mercedes, P505, that Volvo that is like palm tree etc. So the madness wasn't as that of Corolla. As for RX300, Camry 2.2 took it's shine.

doggedfighter:
That robbers' magnet.

The imaginary peace of mind that comes with owning a Corolla vanishes with insecurity

Omihanifa:
I think it's because the parts are readily available, it's also has a good resale value and the mechanics are everywhere

It's not the only car with readily available parts. The over demand is why it has resale value.

A friend gave me the task of getting a Tokumbo Corolla for him and I have been on it for few weeks now. In this assignment I've come to realize that Corolla is now more expensive than the following vehicles:

Toyota Camry
Toyota Highlander
Acura MDX
Nissan Pathfinder
Honda Accord
Etc

It's just crazy!!! How can I pay over 3 million naira for a 2003 Corolla? How? I've told him I won't continue in the quest unless he makes another choice.

But why are people so in love with Corolla? I know that the car is strong and reliable, but it's definitely not the only strong and reliable car out there. When we were still in school, whether you scored 70% or 100%, it is "A". So if Toyota Corolla is good at 100%, there are still others that are good at 90%; both are good.

In place of Corolla, we still have Honda Civic, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, Camry, accord etc. They may not be as good as Corolla, but they are definitely not too bad. My opinion

Bakery no be moimoi

2023 election might turn out to be the most expensive election in the history of Africa

Alcohol!!!
That thing can teleport you from Nigeria to America without visa

The labor market is over saturated and highly competitive. The skill market is over saturated and cutthroat competitive. Only those who are marginally good and experienced in their field make it in the skill market.

My advice: rather than waste your time, resources and energy studying archeology and those useless courses before you come back and start learning a skill, use that time and enroll for apprenticeship once you can read, write and speak.

Like I always say, don't let motivational speakers lure you into learning a thread in three months. Go to the field, enroll under someone that is already in the field and do apprenticeship for 3-6 years. You will be good


See my advice to somebody last year

"Bro, before I advise you, let me clear your head about certain things. First, there's a huge difference between being a trader and being an entrepreneur. Less than 2% of Nigerians are actually entrepreneurs. Forget about being an entrepreneur if you do not have strong economic or educational (not to be confused with academic) background. Secondly, flee very far away from motivation speakers at this age of your life if you want a happy future life.

Now my advice:
1. If you still want to go to school afterwards, save that 60k and keep saving more while you learn your graphics design. You will need money to buy laptop, flash drives, printers, modem etc if the skill you're learning now will be useful to you when you gain admission. Starting a business now will 90% likely drain this little change you have or significantly distract you from this skill you're learning.

2. Forget about school for now, think of a physical trade like welding, auto mechanic etc and use that 60k to enroll for apprenticeship. Don't allow motivation speakers to lure you into going the 3 - 6 months route. 3-5 years will be your best bet.

3. Look for a big trader that has a track record of settling his boys well and enroll as an apprentice. If you chose this path, make sure you have a large heart to accommodate insult.

If you start either 2nd or 3rd advice this year, by the time you turn 30, you must have become a landlord, bought your own car and have a family.

This advice should suffice if you're from a modest background

Shalom"

In this Nigeria or in heaven?

Nothing really special here.
I personally will not buy that unripe tomatoes no matter the price. The last onion I bought is equally reasonable
