Nigerian comedian Aloma Isaac Junior, popularly known as Zicsaloma, has spoken candidly about what he now considers his worst money mistake — buying a Range Rover Sport.
The skit maker shared the experience on a recent episode of Drink or Spill, an interview series by Pulse Nigeria, where he was asked to reflect on financial decisions he regrets.
According to Zicsaloma, the luxury SUV, which he bought for over ₦30 million, initially appealed to him because of the status and comfort associated with high-end cars in Nigeria. Unfortunately, the excitement didn’t last.
He revealed that shortly after purchase, the vehicle began developing serious mechanical faults. Within just three to four months, he had spent about ₦10 million on repairs, yet the issues refused to stop.
Completely worn out by the experience, the comedian said he eventually sold the car for ₦11 million, taking a massive loss in the process. When all expenses were added together, Zicsaloma estimated his total loss at nearly ₦29 million.
Reflecting on the ordeal, he said:
“I think it’s buying a Range Rover Sport. That was one of my worst financial mistakes. I bought the car for over 30 million and sold it for 11 million within 3 or 4 months. On top of that, I spent about 10 million fixing it.”
He added that the emotional and mental toll made the situation even worse:
“It’s just like I threw 30 million and got back 1 million, with a lot of stress.”
Zicsaloma concluded by admitting that the money would have been better used to invest in a business or venture that could have multiplied instead of draining him.
Reactions From Social Media
@gaby_rinz:
“Nigerians will tell you that you don’t know how to maintain a car, that’s why you’re saying this. Everybody wey I know wey get that car, their mechanic attended their weddings, child dedication, anniversary and what have you. They turned best friends.”
@toplevl:
“Range Rover is the car you buy as evidence that your mother has stopped praying for you. The devil practically bids you farewell after you buy a Range Rover.”
@SirLeoBDasilva:
“They thought it was agenda I was running. Their best car was made 16 years ago. The recent ones have spoiled a lot of lives.”
@DukeDarls:
“When I say it, people think I’m bluffing. Buying a Range Rover shouldn’t ever cross your mind.”
@Iblaww:
“As you are remembering that car now, the person that bought it from you may try to start it tomorrow morning and it won’t start. Very emotional car.”
@KhalifaPromo:
“Everyone who owns a Range Rover wishes to sell. But the fear that you can’t sell at the same price, plus societal pressure, won’t allow them.”
@MrTlagaccy:
“Just today at the workshop, there was this fine black Range Rover Sport. Someone was admiring it and a senior guy warned us never to invest in one — not good for business.”
