Nigerian comedian Aloma Isaac Junior, popularly known as Zicsaloma, revealed how buying a luxury Range Rover Sport became his worst financial mistake. The Nigerian comedian shared the story during a recent Drink or Spill interview hosted by Pulse Nigeria. During the interview, the popular skit maker was asked a question about money mistakes he made and now laughs about.
Zicsaloma disclosed that he bought a Range Rover Sport for over N30m, hoping to enjoy the luxury that comes with owning a high-end vehicle in Nigeria. But the excitement didn’t last long as mechanical problems showed up, forcing him to spend a lot on repairs in no time. According to the comedian, he spent about 10 million naira fixing the car within just 3 to 4 months, yet the problems refused to stop.
He explained that the situation became unbearable, leaving him with no option but to sell the vehicle far below its purchase value. Zicsaloma revealed that he eventually sold the Range Rover for 11 million naira, making his total loss close to 29 million naira after combining the purchase and repair costs.
In his words, “I think it’s buying a Range Rover Sport. That was one of my worst financial mistakes. “When I bought that car, I bought it for over 30 million. I sold it 11 million in 3 or 4 months’ time. And I spent about 10 million naira fixing the car in those three months.” The content creator added that after all the stress, he practically made a huge loss from the entire transaction. “So it’s just like I threw 30 million and got back 1 million, with a lot of stress,” he stated. Zicsaloma also reflected on alternative uses for the money, suggesting it could have been invested in a business instead, which would have fetched him a lot of profit.
