This may be the situation in the early days. But the trend has advanced in the recent days. Today one…

It’s obvious we are all aware of what has become of Nigerian civil servants. About the newly approved N70,000 minimum wage. A lot of people are afraid to approach car dealers.

And to think that there are a lot of affordable, quality cars in Nigeria, you are probably not…

The fact that most women who love to drive SUVs, drive them because of the ride height. For them, it feels safe to sit “above” traffic.

So add those together and you get very few cars in that segment.  “Both cars are similar in terms of appeal. As for what most women would prefer, I would say Mercedes. They are a genuine luxury car in terms of looks and…

Tyre! Tyre.. I am very certain everyone knows what a TYRE is. A Tyre is a round rubber object that, like a pair of human shoes, interfaces with the earth’s surface (either a tarred road or a beaten track) while it seems like it’s carrying the whole weight of the vehicle. The wheel, like a pair of natural feet that wears the shoes, is the round mechanical object that the tyre is worn around. In Nigeria, Car owners always ask for car tyres that are durable because of the condition of our roads, while some car owners probably think they…

It’s a very wrong decision to make; Buying a car and skipping the registration aspect of owning the car. This happens mostly in Nigeria. We complain so much about law enforcement agencies stopping and harassing car owners on the road, but the question is: Are the car owners on their rights?  Because for you to officially be tagged a car owner and be able to drive freely on the road, the vehicle must be registered for you to legally drive it. If you are in an accident or stopped by law enforcement, you’ll be asked to show your license, proof…

You all won’t believe what happened yesterday. Like…. I’m still in shock after hearing what I heard yesterday. I’m somehow surprised one of us would actually say that.
