Nairaland / General / Our Christmas Plans !!! - Nigerians React. by Wisegeek01(m): 4:43am On Dec 24, 2014
This Festive season no go easy,
Not with the present state of the economy, here are what a few Nigerians have to say. ..

I’ll want to spend more
It seems like the older I get, the more expensive
Christmas becomes. Subconsciously, I want to do
better than last year’s Christmas. But of course,
‘better’ comes at a higher price.
— Chukwunoyelum Odili

I’ll target lower prices
At another time of the year, the current
economic fortunes of Nigeria would have
certainly led to reduced spending, but business
has somehow found a way to stay booming
during Christmas. Like the saying goes, where
there’s a will, there’s a way; consumers have
been known to still find ways to make purchases
irrespective of financial challenges. For me,
however, I will become more critical about where
I buy things from and in price negotiation or
even settle for lower quality compared to what
available resources could have purchased in the
past.
— Uche Okoro

No lavish spending
The economy is really bad this year and I plan to
spend prudently because I don’t want to enter
the New Year broke. I think it used to be better
because I could ask for money from my parents
at will. But now, I have allowances and I have to
be prudent with my spending if I don’t want to
go bankrupt.
— Tobi Akinyede

Low sales
There is no money to celebrate the Christmas
because traders are complaining of low sales,
some workers have not been paid and prices of
commodities are high.
— Ihuoma Esinwoke

Bleak Xmas
I do not have money to spend this Christmas, let
alone enough of it. Some civil servants have not
been paid their November salary and December
is almost going to an end. There is no hope.
— Ucho Ugochukwu

I’ll watch movies
I cannot do the things I would love to do for
Christmas because I do not have money for
them, but I have money for fuel to use in my
generator. At least I can watch movies with it.
The reason is politicians are keeping all the cash
for elections.
— Kelvin Lawson

Money is scarce
People should learn to cut their coats according
to their clothes. It is as simple as that. Nobody
has enough money anywhere in Nigeria.
— Eniola Murphy-Tare

Cash-strapped
The fuel and economic crisis in the country right
now has left me cash-strapped because my
earnings have been reduced as a result of the
high cost of living.
— David Nwosu

I can’t overspend
Christmas is really different this year. It was
terrible last year, but this time, it’s on another
level. Though I have as much as I’ve always had,
I cannot overspend because there is school next
year. Normally, on the streets you would see
people running around trying to buy things in
preparation for Christmas; funfair for children
and others. Even Christmas decorations and
lights are scanty this year.
— Kenny Oluwatosin

I’ll spend less
I will ensure that I spend less on house
accessories and cash-related transactions, which
is against the usual plan for the season. Though
there is never a right time for economic
downturn, this season clearly is the worst time
for such economic struggle.
— Sola Afolabi

I’ll cut down expenses
With the economic downturn, this year has been
worse compared to previous years, I would have
to cut down on my expenses and buy only the
very necessary things. I sincerely hope things
get better next year.
— Faith Ibigbemi

Economy not favourable
The prices of goods in the country are rising fast,
just like cost of transportation due to the
meltdown which will make it quite hard to travel
and purchase the essential things one needs.
The economic implication for me is that it will
restrict my spending because I will start to focus
more on what I need and not what I want.
— Toyosi Kolawole

I’ll cut cost
December is always my favourite month of the
year and Christmas is always the icing on the
cake for me, regardless of my financial status. I
placed an order for some shoes from abroad and
they have yet to be delivered. The way things are
going now, I will have to ask for a refund. With
the rise of the dollar, I think I will make a good
use of the money.
— Feyi Oladewa

I will cope
I do not have a choice. I have money to take care
of myself this Christmas, even with the hard
times. But that does not mean there is enough
money. I will cope with what I have this
Christmas.
— Chinedu Mark

No spare money
I have no spare money to spend this Christmas
because of the current situation of things in the
country. It can only be good when things get
better.
— Juliet Okwuonu

Fashion / Why Do Ladies Shave Their Eyebrows And Still Draw It Back ? by Wisegeek01(m): 7:38pm On Dec 23, 2014
After rediscovering some long forgotten photo
albums around the house, I was thinking about ladies and their eyebrows.

As a culture, I don't understande why ladies are extremely obsessed with eyebrows.

There's no way you'd walk
along the streets and not take notice of the various degrees in which women will arch, pluck, tweeze, wax and shave their brows into unnatural angles.

Like the thin dramatic high arch brow or the
thick and full brow with the softer angles.

And then of course there is the already spoken on, yet equally mystifying, stenciled brows.

It’s like out of all the body parts, eyebrows have the least utility and yet eyebrow shaping and grooming is virtually a necessity in some instances the most important facial grooming habit for Ladies.

So why do ladies shave them off if they're only going to draw them back on again?

Autos / Pushing The Clutch Down For Every Brake - Is It Right? by Wisegeek01(m): 6:54am On Dec 23, 2014
Been Driving on manual for a while now,
I've started to doubt my driving
technique. This is currently how
I slow down:

1. Push clutch down
2. Apply brake
3. Come to a stop, or pop back
into gear
I don't touch my brake pedal
unless my clutch pedal is on
the floor. I've been doing some
reading now and it seems like
the proper method to slow
down is to apply the brake first
until you reach a low speed,
then pushing down the clutch
before coming to a complete
stop to avoid stalling.

Is my technique so bad enough
for me to change?

Or what's the proper way to use the clutch both for Engaging and disengaing gears or Stopping,
To avoid wear and tear"
