If you sell used cars, be careful - the next few years will be rough for you, and you may not have a business by the time the wave that is coming is done:
The reason is because the Chinese have set their eyes on Africa, and when they move - it is usually aggresive price cut that favors volume over margins.
Which means they will sell better and more recent cars at a cheaper price and at first you will laugh at them; but they will win.
It is how people laughed at Opay at first (a bank with no branch) but now Opay is used by almost everyone.
...but car is not like the banking sector, a cheaper car & better car will FORCE everyone else out.
Wait till they are done countering all the lies about parts and engine not being strong; once they enter a market - they find the biggest objections and they get to work towards countering it.
That work has started. Goodluck everyone.

Daniel Bwala reportedly suing Al Jazeera in the UK over his interview with Mehdi Hasan is one of the funniest political developments of the year.
A man who built his public career attacking people, insulting opponents, defending power aggressively and turning television appearances into political combat has suddenly discovered the importance of reputation.
So Bwala can dish it out, but he cannot take it?
He can appear on national television to lecture Nigerians, dismiss criticism, defend every embarrassment from the Presidency and attack opposition figures, but when a journalist asks him difficult questions, the next destination is a courtroom in London?
This is comedy wearing a legal gown.
Mehdi Hasan is known for tough interviews. He asks direct questions. He interrupts evasive answers. He confronts contradictions. He does not sit quietly while politicians recite prepared talking points.
If Bwala believed the interview was unfair, he had the opportunity to answer clearly, challenge the questions, correct the record and defend himself before the audience.
That is what serious public officials do.
But instead, the same government spokesperson who constantly tells Nigerians to tolerate hardship, criticism and uncomfortable realities is now reportedly seeking legal protection from an uncomfortable interview.
The irony is too heavy.
This is the same political class that tells citizens they are spreading misinformation whenever they question government. The same people call critics bitter, opposition agents or enemies of progress. They enjoy using powerful platforms to attack others, but the moment an international journalist turns the spotlight on them, they suddenly remember defamation law.
Bwala should understand that international media is not the same as a friendly Nigerian television studio where government defenders are allowed to speak for ten minutes without serious follow-up questions.
Outside Nigeria, slogans are not answers.
Noise is not evidence.
Confidence is not competence.
And presidential proximity does not automatically command respect.
The reported lawsuit also raises another question: is Bwala angry because the interview contained falsehoods, or because Nigerians saw a government spokesman struggling outside the comfort of domestic propaganda?
A courtroom may examine his legal claims, and he is entitled to pursue whatever remedy the law permits. But politically, the damage is already done.
The interview exposed the weakness of a communication system built on talking loudly instead of answering clearly.
You cannot defend a government battling hunger, insecurity, corruption allegations, budget controversies and collapsing public trust with grammar alone. Eventually, somebody will ask for evidence.
That is what happened.
Now Bwala wants Al Jazeera to explain itself in Britain while Nigerians are still waiting for his government to explain itself at home.
Why are food prices high?
Why is insecurity spreading?
Why are public institutions losing credibility?
Why are scandals becoming weekly entertainment?
Why does every difficult question produce anger instead of answers?
Bwala should save some legal energy for defending the Tinubu administration before the court of Nigerian public opinion.
Because that is the case he is already losing.
Mehdi Hasan asked questions.
Bwala answered with a lawsuit.

GBAJAGATE: A DAMNING REVELATION OF THE INCOMPETENCE AND NEGLIGENCE OF THE APC-LED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The recent grave accusations levelled against the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, by Prince Adeniyi Matthew, of the now notorious Presidential Economic Advisory Council and the admissions contained in the response issued by Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, have confirmed what many Nigerians had long suspected-that the APC-led Federal Government is running the country with alarming recklessness, where nepotism and cronyism have displaced merit, and impunity has become standard practice, administered in a manner akin to a criminal enterprise.
Prince Matthew alleged that the Chief of Staff solicited and received financial inducements from him in exchange for facilitating his appointment into the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and also made further demands in the course of running the office. In response, the Presidency, through Bayo Onanuga, did not directly deny the allegation; instead, it parried them, rather describing Prince Matthew as an impostor and a fraudster who forged his way into the highest levels of government, securing an office space in a government facility, having staff posted to him, receiving budgetary allocations, operating CBN-registered accounts, and conducting official business with institutions including the EFCC and various security agencies, all without any authority.
How else can one explain the serial embarrassments emanating from the Presidential Villa under this administration? From the appointment of deceased persons into government offices, to the inclusion of undeserving individuals on the presidential pardon list, the N800 billion Progressive Governors Forum scandal, and numerous other avoidable blunders. This administration has demonstrated a troubling pattern of institutional failure.
The two possible outcomes of this scandal are very damning. If the Presidency's account is correct, that Prince Matthew is an impostor, then it means the Federal Government is so porous and vulnerable- an admission that the country has been brazenly defrauded because institutional gatekeepers entrusted with protecting our collective patrimony are either grossly incompetent or thoroughly distracted from the responsibilities of governance. If, on the other hand, Prince Matthew's account is accurate, that the Chief of Staff solicited and actually received bribes to facilitate his appointment, then this is yet another act of shameless corruption added to a long and growing queue of unchallenged corrupt officials in this administration. Anyway this pendulum swings, the Nigerian people lose.
Assuming that Nigerians were to accept the Presidency's explanation at face value, the implications would be staggering. How could an impostor operate freely and undetected at the highest level of government? How was he allocated office space at the Federal Secretariat complex, provided with staff, given budgetary provisions, granted CBN accounts, and allowed to interface with top-tier institutions? This is, by any measure, a monumental failure of the state.
Any responsible government confronted with this scale of institutional breakdown would immediately commission an independent forensic investigation, suspend the key officials implicated, implement systemic reforms to prevent a recurrence, issue an unreserved public apology, and consider the resignation of those found culpable. Instead, the APC-led Federal Government appears to be pursuing a covert internal review, dismissing legitimate public concerns by talking down on the citizens, and hoping that the passage of time will erase the anomaly from public memory
We therefore call on the president, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to immediately order a forensic investigation of this scandal by a reputable firm of international standing, announce the suspension of all key officials connected to the matter.

"For Nigeria to be so degraded to this level of hopelessness is really a world class embarrassment..."
Journalist Fatai Ogunribido says the Nigerian military, once globally respected, has declined significantly, adding that the failure to rescue Oriire school kidnapping victims in Oyo State after 50 days is a national embarrassment.
@sseehn11 Stop the threats! It can be control and destroy. There's nothing to do with the foundations. It appears on one of my doors recently. I eradicated them with brake fluid. Till date no appearance of them.
The imminent defection of H.E Dr Yusuf Nasiru Gawuna is not just another political movement. It is a major signal that the NDC structure in Kano is beginning to shrink around Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso himself.
If Gawuna finally moves, then the message will be clear: only Kwankwaso and Mustapha Kwankwaso will remain standing at the centre of what was once presented as a serious political force.
That is how political isolation begins.
For months, some people packaged NDC as if it was a national earthquake waiting to happen. They spoke with confidence. They made noise. They mocked everyone. They insulted Atiku. They dismissed ADC. They told Nigerians that Kwankwaso was building something historic.
But politics is not built with red caps alone.
Politics is built with alliances, trust, sacrifice, expansion, negotiation and the ability to keep strong people inside your house. When serious names begin to walk away, it means something is wrong. When key figures begin to look elsewhere, it means the centre is no longer holding. When the movement becomes a family corner, then the national ambition has already entered trouble.
Gawuna’s possible movement exposes the deeper weakness of the NDC project. It shows that many politicians are beginning to read the handwriting on the wall. They know 2027 will not be about emotional loyalty or personal cult politics. It will be about national spread, serious structure, winning capacity and the ability to defeat APC.
That is where Atiku Abubakar and ADC stand apart.
Atiku is building a national coalition. ADC is attracting serious political players. The movement is expanding beyond one state, one bloc, one personality and one family name. While others are losing people, ADC is gaining momentum. While others are shrinking, Atiku is widening the map.
This is the difference between a real presidential project and a regional emotional experiment.
Kwankwaso remains a major political figure, but the question is no longer whether he has loyal supporters. Of course he does. The real question is whether his platform can expand enough to defeat APC nationally. And every major defection away from his camp makes that question harder to answer.
2027 will humble many motivational analysts.
Noise cannot replace structure. Red caps cannot replace national spread. Family loyalty cannot replace coalition politics. And no serious politician wants to waste his future inside a project that cannot cross the national bridge.
If Gawuna leaves, it will not be an ordinary defection.
It will be a political verdict.
NDC is shrinking.
ADC is rising.
Atiku is coming.
Data is brutal.
