We've turned ourselves into a dumping ground for other people's garbage.
You only need a few people with money to put their money where their mouth is.
Most of the stuffs we buy from China and India are made in rooms no bigger than most of our bedroom.
From the Chelsea jerseys to the football we kick.

Gerarahia mehn. Dreamers live longer, haven't u heard?

**grins** What do they mean by the statement "at discretion of president and comptroller-general"? So the importation of some goods are dependent on the comptroller-general's mood? If he is happy with you, your goods are cleared, if he is angry, the same goods won't be cleared until may be you grease his palms or buy him some gworo. No wonder Atiku abubakar became a billionaire by just wearing customs uniform. The zoo!!!!!!!! lmao! **grins**

NobleAngell:

Cry me a river.

May God punish those useless custom officers. No wonder, they no dey die well. All they do is pretend to seize those goods only to auction it later at lower price. many others open up stores for their wives where they sell these contraband goods.

What is this na? So if MTN is doing such a promo, why isn't it all over the various media? Why do I have to go to your site for some activation? Are you insinuating that your site is now a substitute for MTN's?

When will all these deceivers change? Interestingly, some people will fall for this! Many have already fallen...

Phew! This man should be traced and prosecuted...sadly, I doubt if that will happen.
