You have crossed that awkward, deeply uncomfortable, sometimes shameful social state of being without a car. I mean in some countries where the public transport system works, not having a car is no big deal. But you are in Nigeria, where public transport is living hell, and owning a car can be the difference between life and social death. http://dailytimes.com.ng/opinion/how-behave-car-owner-nigeria 20 Likes 1 Share |

this is funny, simply hillarious. Buh d fact is, it captures our every-day-living realities. It is paradoxical in form which makes it more appealing and humourous. I like it! |

The above is sarcasm of the highest order. God answered the prayers of some men on a raining say when his neighbor rather than just drive pass, actually horned at him and his wife while they were standing at the bus stop waiting for a public transport. Knowing fully well he is heading toward their direction. Another man's prayers was answered when a driver splashed him mud while speeding pass. The driver realizing he has splashed the pedestrian mud rather than appeal for his forgiveness rained him with insults like "am I the one to tell you not to have a car?". A woman who went to pick her children from school. They stood by the zebra crossing for over 10minutes as no vehicle refused to slow down for her and her kids to cross. These 3 people and many others while in that sad situation looked up to God at those moment for Him to also bless them with a car. And then and there God sent down His abundant of blessings on these people and their prayers got answered. ......3 months down the line, these same people who were weeping on the streets while working became terror to other road users, pedestrians, street hawkers, school children, neighbors and others. They stopped associating with their friends who had no cars, and at the slightest opportunity mocked people they know who haven't gotten a car. They drove in at 1am blasting their car sound system heavily to alert neighbors they are back. And accelerated the car heavily in the mornings all in the name of warming the car engine. Well...the good news is God fulfilled His part by blessing you with your request but could also use that same car to humiliate you. For wise men and women with wisdom, if you fear to return to where you are coming from, act right and be humble. God that gives today can decide to take it back tomorrow. Heard of men who had nothing less than 6 wonder on wheels but ended up walking through those same streets they once oppressed people. We know of people (musicians, businessmen and politicians). Which the very car they bought with their money was what killed them. Car or no car....treat every man right if you are really scared of the unknown (future). Afterall....life na turn by turn. 5 Likes |

@OP, you didn't remember cleaning/ washing the car for about 2 hours every morning. Washing & cleaning the car anything he passes through a dusty street or a puddle of water. Trying to play Mr. Clean or is it Neat. These days, the norm is to drive with headlights & hazard lights on during the day time. I wonder what he's gonna do when night comes or there is hazardous driving conditions such as heavy or windy rains. Its always like that with the first car, but on buying the second car, he gets used to owning a car & begins to complain of those that exhibits all the behaviours described above. Well, such is life & it is a passing phase that most a new car owner passess through. 1 Like |

Billyonaire: You have forgotten about playing loud music and winding down while doing so........haha....reminds me of a guy on ma street during the '90s. Played his music so loud that he made sure u knew he was back. No matter what song he was playing, once he entered the street he made sure all we heard was Lauryn Hill of the fugees singing: 'ready or not, here i come, u cant hide'! 3 Likes |
