Those tokunbo tyres can be serious headache. You buy a tire today and it bends and starts wobbling in three months then you buy another. Before you know it, you have spent more than the same amount you would have used buying a new tire on the tokunbos. It's not like the tokunbos are even cheap.

Secondly, depending on the car you drive, getting a good used tire within the 4 year rule scam of FRSC can be difficult. I have a car that uses 235/45/17. Even tire sellers don't buy the used one from me because they say there's no demand for it.

Our roads are also fairly good here and I know them like the back of my palm. I can drive a whole year without entering any pothole.

The Michelins, Continentals and Dunlops cannot be found in new ones here. If you see am, na two arms and a leg e go cost.

And even in their Tokunboh state, they are better than using a new tyre that will tear inside a muddy pothole.

Na who tyre never show pepper dey price new one.

Me? New tyres are not for me in Lagos, and Nigeria

I just dey look theflint that day when he was making inquiries about brand new tyres. I just talk am for my mind say this bros na "rich kid"

If I buy new tyres make I know wetin cause am. U will buy new tyres wey bad road go still help u condemn in months; It can't be me.

Na when i do Uber I come understand why Tokunboh are the way to go.

Those Chinese ones na Insha Allah. You fit use 60k buy tyre, come back next week after one iron slice am inside water.

Isn't it better i spend 20k and buy it 3 times, in 3 weeks?

Australia and New Zealand are by far the largest exporters of lamb and not far behind Brazil in beef.

They mostly produce for the Arab market who eat lamb like it's going out of fashion.

I don't think they are price competitive with our mallams though. We keep our meat cheap in Nigeria by sacrificing our farms as grazing routes for herdsmen, so the cost of cattle production is limited to herdsmen labour. That's why beef is cheaper than chicken in Nigeria. In most climes, chicken is the cheapest meat because it costs more money and land to raise cattle and sheep.

Why not?

We can afford chicken from the Netherlands 🇳🇱,poundo yam from the USA why not processed meats from Australia?

I know Australia export Lamb to other countries but like you said, Nigerians are used to cheap beef.

This small piece in this picture is about 11,000 Naira… now add export cost and VAT.

and if you are buying tokunbo use a smart vulcaniser, not your mechanic.

Meanwhile, the Concerned Yoruba Community in Kano, on Thursday, raised the alarm over an alleged possible attack on Yoruba indigenes in Kano and called on all Yoruba leaders in the country to engage President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a possible political settlement of the Kano political logjam.

The Secretary General of the group, Taofeek Olaosebikan, who addressed a news conference in Kano, said, “We are using this platform to call on our leading Obas and leaders to come to our assistance by engaging President Bola Tinubu on the political situation in Kano.

“The average man already believes that the judiciary has been interfered with. We are calling on our fathers, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the Oni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, to intervene without further delay.

“We are also calling on Oba of Lagos, Alake of Agba, Awujare of Ijebuland, Olubadan of Ibadan and other and other Yoruba leading lights to come to our aid as we won’t find it easy if the situation degenerates further as we actually expect it would.

“The people here will believe that they were cheated by a Yoruba President. That’s the word going around now. A stitch in time, they say saves nine.”

And the sweetest part is that traffic congestion had greatly reduced.

One time I was in Ibadan and was in thick traffic around 12pm. I couldn't believe my eyes. Except a major accident happens that blocks the entire road, it's almost impossible here.

You can only get pockets of traffic here in the evening when people are returning from work especially when it rains.

Theflint1:
Yea, my own bin don bend, and was problematic. In fact by the time I was changing the tyres, was already running on spare. Got my tokunbo from the vulcanizer, just outside my gate...e no fit run if the tyre begin misbehave, so na like insurance of sort.

Price of tokunbo compared to new depends on which new you're getting sha, I spent 30k on the two tyres I got, and I know say the guy still cheat me, cause na 10k e dey sell on a norms...but lamba about these ones being special tokunbo....new China sef would have set me back a lot more.
