A young Nigerian man has sparked buzz online after sharing his surprising transformation after buying a car.
His before-and-after photos on TikTok caught the attention of many as they compared his glowing old look with his more stressed new appearance.
Before the Car: Fresh, Bright, and Carefree
In the first photo he shared, the young man looked fresh, well-rested, and happy.
His skin appeared bright, and his relaxed expression suggested a life with fewer responsibilities and more freedom.
After the Car Purchase: Tired Face, Dull Skin
The second photo showed a noticeable change in his appearance. He looked worn-out, with a duller complexion and a stressed facial expression.
According to him, the only major difference between the two periods was becoming a car owner.
Posting via his TikTok handle @whitez_100, he paired the photos with a caption:
“When I was not a car guy. Vs me as a car guy.”
Netizens Reacts
The contrast quickly grabbed attention, with many viewers noting that the change hinted at the pressures of maintaining a vehicle.
Netizens pointed out that owning a car comes with hidden responsibilities such as fuel, repairs, servicing, and unexpected expenses that drain both the wallet and the body.
Many felt that the stress of keeping the car running likely contributed to his drastic transformation.
