"I was at a mechanic workshop yesterday. The mechanic's Toyota Corolla Old Model that he bought for 400k in 2022 was sold for 2m right in front of my eyes."

"Same dollar value or maybe less. It’s naira that’s playing tricks."

@Dahmolah said:

"Me, I just want to know what car you are driving now, make I see something."

@Lord_of_Nigeria said:

"It is almost like the Nigerian govt doesn’t understand the importance cars play in driving up economy and productivity. For statistical purposes, the UK with less than 70 million people and smaller land mass has over 40 million cars on the road and a very robust and efficient public transportation system, infact, most people in the UK can live a normal life without ever buying a car. The USA with a population of 334 million has over 280 million cars on the road, which means almost everyone drives. Conversely, Nigeria has a population that is over 223 million with a massive land mass but has less than 12 million cars on the road, this is abysmally low."
