This life sef.

KidsNEXTdoor:
Yesterday... Car killed someone around new road before chevron round about.....

It's a norm in Lagos

Sometimes I just don't want to go out. But danger is everywhere.

UNIZIK1stSon:



Its only in Nigeria that standard driving and road use practices are not observed.

In developed climes, speed limiters and detectors are used, Zebra crossings are provided at strategic points and strictly adhered to (even animals use them), the traffic police do not just control the traffic but curb driver's excesses and so many more...

With those things in place, we'll have less reports of these BS we hear everyday.

May her gentle soul rest in peace

In UK, this is what happens.
1. Everybody is registered.
2. With regstration,you have some sort of a social security number.
3. Every home address is registered.
4. Everyone is registered to their home address.
(A lot of database and paper work)
5. With your registration status, you can open a bank account (they know your house)
6. They will give you a credit card. This is extra money above your real money.
7. You can use that credit money to do business/whatever and pay back in monthly installments over a period of time
---
8. Depending on your credit rating and income, you can go to a car dealership and pick up the latest car and put monthly installments for X number of years.

In essences, everyone is able to afford new things. iPhone X, Galaxy S10,.. fine house, new car. Vehicles operate fine, brake pad etc.. People are relaxed. Everyone already has new things so they are not jealous of each other.

They don't save their money complete before buying anything. They just take it and pay in installments, till they sell it off to another person or pay off.

That's how UK economy works
The upside of this:
Manufacturers can keep manufacturing new things that people "buy".
Everyone gets new/latest/high quality things

The down side of this:
People tend to fall into perpetual debt.

Aww poor soul, why do I the feeling that the people below are responsible?

lonelydora:
Going out and coming back safely in Nigeria is an underrated blessing.

RIP to the dead

I'm re-echo that: underrated blessing.

I always tell my loved ones: don't pray for me to bring more money. Pray for me to come home safe.

Rest in Peace Ogoo

So sad to end up like this; after struggling to land a job and then struggling every morning to get to work early and trying by all means to avoid being sacked or retrenched!
