In Nigeria we live today it has become a common mentality that if you don’t own a car, then it is concluded that you simply are not wealthy
People now try hard to get a car by all means. For instance i have a friend who is presently planning to use his life saving to buy a car.
This makes me think, is it compulsory to have a car when u simply cant afford one. i also read an article sometime last week where the OP was seeking for advice whether he should get a loan to buy a car. lool i mean what kind of reasoning is that.
This mentality is also present in our corporate environment whereby the kind of car you ride determinesthe type of contract you would be awarded. My personal opinion based on standard economic practices is that if you are not getting a car to generate more income for yourself then you simply should not exercise the thoughts of buying a car if you are not worth x3 of the price of purchase. Thou our government is used to making baseless policies but i love this one about increasing the tariffs on used imported cars. The high prices of cars will discourage us from buying thenencourage us to channel our hard earn money to better use.
In summary, since our people always want a car buy all means, i will like to seek the opinion of fellow niralanders, DOES OWNING A CAR INDICATE SUCESS OR DOES THE MODEL AND TYPE OF CAR YOU RIDE INDICATE YOUR LEVEL OF SUCESS. thank you.
