Many Nigerian roads are for cattle movement and parties.

ridevendor:
Honestly…

I used to think people were exaggerating when they complained about maintaining a car in Nigeria.

Until I sat down one day and calculated everything properly.

And I won’t lie… I was shocked.

Let’s Break It Down

This is just an average car owner trying to maintain a decent vehicle.

Not even luxury.

Fuel

Depending on movement:
₦10,000 – ₦30,000+ weekly

And if you move around a lot?
Even worse.

Maintenance

This one humbles people fast.

* Oil servicing
* Brake pads
* Suspension
* Tyres
* Battery

One small issue can suddenly become:

> ₦80k
> ₦150k
> ₦300k

Just like that.

Nigerian Roads

This one deserves its own section honestly.

Bad roads damage:

* Tyres
* Shock absorbers
* Alignment
* Underbody

Sometimes it feels like the road is fighting the car personally 😅

Other Hidden Costs

People forget:

* Car wash
* Parking
* Insurance
* Documents
* Traffic stress
* Unexpected repairs

Everything adds up quickly.

WHAT SURPRISED ME MOST

I finally understood why many people now:

* Use Bolt more
* Rent cars occasionally instead
* Or delay buying another vehicle entirely

Because owning a car in Nigeria today is almost like managing another responsibility on its own.

THEN I UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING

A lot of people complain about:

* Car rental prices
* Transport prices
* Driver costs

But after seeing what car owners spend regularly…

I started understanding the business side better.

Especially for operators managing multiple vehicles.

MY HONEST OPINION

At this point, reliability matters more than “forming”.

I’d rather use:

* A well-maintained car
* With peace of mind

Than force luxury and end up stranded somewhere.

LET’S DISCUSS

Car owners here:

What shocked you most after buying your car?

* Fuel?
* Maintenance?
* Nigerian roads?
* Spare parts?

Or do you think people are still exaggerating?

FINAL THOUGHT

Owning a car in Nigeria is no longer just about buying the vehicle…

The real challenge starts AFTER purchase.

How do people even enjoy rape? I've never been able to understand it.

I can't even be intimate with someone I don't like. Neither can I be intimate if I notice any sort of reluctance on the part of my partner.

If we're not both fully locked in, I'm out.

I just can't figure how you have sex with someone who was surely struggling with you.

They see kidnapped victims as infidels whose lives don't worth a dime

There are very few rewards for prioritizing education in Nigeria. You reward education by improving industrialization & commercialization. The industries & small factories shouldbe able to absorb 60-70% of graduates in a developing country

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

We do not accept a ceasefire. We are seeking an end to the war.

We seek guarantees that such aggressions will not be repeated.

Trump also said Iran has agreed to no Nukes, right before he attacked them. He's highly unstable and ill.

Only an equally insane person will believe Trump.

Iran has said it a million times,, no negotiation.

1999 Presidential Election results was an Interesting one. OBJ a Yoruba man became the president without winning any YORUBA state. OBJ Results in Blue, Falae in Red. He won in North, South South and South East. It shows Regional party can't win a Presidential Election in Nigeria. You need national appeal.

It's good that Israel is part of the countries that killed Ayatollah Khamenei and is destroying the regime that's hellbent on destroying Israel. Anybody with an appreciable IQ level knew Oct 7th was going to come with deadly consequences. Going into the mainland of Jews to massacre them whilst knowing how the IDF and mossad operates was stupid. The chief planner of Oct 7th is now grooving with his 72 virgins

Court trials against corrupt officials in Nigeria are done to legalize illegal possessions. We saw how Ibori was acquitted several times but went to UK and got properly prosecuted. The system in Nigeria is by design
