[quote author=CHARLOE post=Once custom is ready to fleece you, they will frustrate your life. Also can you prove beyond reasonable doubt there and then that the car was imported in 08 without custom document to verify, I doubt it. If the former owner had been doing interstate with the car and custom no catch am, you can heave a sign of relieve. Line of action 1. Go and swear a court avidavit for the lost doc 2. Walk into the custom office in your area armed with avidavit, complete car document showing Vin and other things. 3. Make payment for the verification of the said car and when verified that it's in the system you can continue using the avidavit. If your car is siezed you just hire lawyer and threaten. Or 4. Pay for a new original print out and drive with peace of mind.][/quote] That's the advice I gave the person. 1. You can choose to follow it, if you don't mind, or 2. don't bother doing interstate with the said vehicle 3. When customs flank you down, whatever you do, don't match brake. The choice is yours |

There was a time I bought car in Lagos, it was a clean used car and I wasn't sure of the customs, so I left Lagos Saturday evening and slept in Ibadan and took off early in the morning toward Abuja. I deliberately wore my northern attire with cap so when I was stopped between Ibadan and Ife by customs, I just stopped and said Salamu alaikum they all answered they said from where I said am coming from Ibadan I went to a conference but going back to Abuja, we spoke politely through out in hausa and they let me go without asking me for any paper they just said I should be careful driving as I was alone 1 Like 1 Share |

Guys O, I Drive A 1999 VW Beetle, Bought Nigerian Used In 2014. Throughout My Trip Back From Lagos To Calabar, Only One Police Officer Demanded To See Customs Paper. The Car Per Papers I Got Was Registered To A Company In Lagos. Eventually Parted With The Officer With 3k. Was Already Gasping For Energy Coming All The Way From Lagos. Security Agencies Wahala Was The Least I Needed. My Question Is, Am I Safe To Continue Driving This Car Without Customs Paper? I Have Been Driving Since April 2014 Anyway. It Has The Old Number Plate. |

Nice one. Pls how does d clearance on new cars from the dealer look like? New cars dat don't have custom papers. Is it just a typed paper?

saintjoel: You are right because I don't help people verify, I am not a custom officer, I am just an ordinary citizen. If you purchase a vehicle without a physical custom papers, how do you then know the 'C' number from a supposed unknown document? According to reliable sources it will be hard to utilize the Vin of the vehicle to confirm. Please enlighten me and others Below is the advice I gave the individual. As suggested by others 1. Go and swear a court avidavit for the lost doc (this suggestion was given by someone and people were adamant it may not work) 2. Walk into the custom office in your area armed with avidavit, complete car document showing Vin and other things. (no two cars can share same Vin, but your pocket must be deep or you must know someone for them to help you use this. Normally the 'C' number would have been easiest) 3. Make payment for the verification of the said car and when verified that it's in the system you can continue using the avidavit. If your car is siezed you just hire lawyer and threaten. Or 4. Pay for a new original print out and drive with peace of mind. If I was in that condition I would pick option 3 and 4 but now how many people who struggled to buy naija used car will dish out 400k or more for a new custom document? 1 Like |

nurey: NICE JOB SIR. NOW IMAGINE YOU'VE BOUGHT A RECHARGE CARD AND YOU MISTAKENLY SCRATCH OUT TWO OR THREE RECHARGE DIGITS, WHENEVER YOU CALL THE CUSTOMER CARE, WHAT THEY BASICALLY ASK FOR IS THE SERIAL DIGITS AND NOT THE RECHARGE PIN. THAT'S ALSO THE WAY THE CUSTOM DATABASE IS CONFIGURED. MOST TIMES, PEOPLE WITH MISSING PAPERS ARE ALWAYS SECOND HAND USERS THAT FELL TO THE DEALER/FORMER OWNERS PRANK AND THAT'S THE REASON THAT AN AFFIDAVIT WILL NOT WORK. WHICH IS MORE EASIER TO LOOSE, PAPERS STORED IN A FILE OR NOT STORED IN A FILE. OFFICERS NOW KNOW THAT MOST DEALERS LIE ABOUT MISSING PAPERS JUST TO SELL THEIR VEHICLES. THE BEST THING IS JUST TO OBTAIN NEW PAPERS IF YOU DON'T HAVE OR YOU DON'T BUY IT. |

Nigeria First is a non-partisan movement involving all Nigerians in the necessary task of nation building. We are an assembly of individuals, groups, and entities envisioned to congregate ideas and resources in a bid to address our core national concerns, and fashion a workable sustainable agenda for Nigeria, by Nigerians. The current system (institutions, structures and platforms) has become inadequate and compromised. The enormous benefits accrued by those reaping from the flaws in our system will make it near impossible for them to frontally address these systemic imbalances. Articulating the solution and enlightening Nigerians on the importance of their participation in frontally addressing these concerns is imperative. Nigerians should be enlightened on practical actions that must be taken to initiate systemic reforms. We want to ensure that come 2019, a minimum of 60% of all elected persons, are those who subscribe to, and believe in our leadership recruitment principles, (Character, Capability, Connect, Patriotism, X-Factor -3CPX-), which define SERVICE AS THE ESSENCE OF SEEKING PUBLIC OFFICE. Ultimately, this involves Situation Analysis, Solution Articulation, and the strategy to provide Nigerians with the five key considerations for leadership recruitment processes. THE FIVE PRINCIPLES ARE: ▪ Character: Persons seeking public office must possess the right Values, Ethics and Morals. ▪ Capability: Persons seeking public office must possess the right skill set, relevant exposure, and be physically and mentally fit. He/she must have the capacity to look beyond today, and envision a better Nigeria, with a clear roadmap to achieving that goal. ▪ Connect: The best Leaders are those who can connect with the people. There is a huge void between our leaders and our people. We need leaders who can bridge that gap and address our local and national concerns. ▪ Patriotism: Understanding and acceptance of our people, compassion, tolerance, willingness to ensure a level playing field for all and sundry. They must possess the will to tackle the problems of tribalism, nepotism, ethnicity and religious intolerance. ▪ X-factor: Those unique features that give each individual a distinct edge. Nigeria First is committed to preparing Nigerians with all that is needed to make informed decisions, so that together we can ensure sustainable and inclusive development. The time has come for a unified voice, propelled by patriotic instincts to redefine the leadership recruitment process, and, ultimately, articulate a national agenda. NIGERIA FIRST… If it is to be, it is up to US.

somehow: Depends on what vehicle you're driving and the kind of plate number you have. If your vehicle is still very fresh and neat with shinning color customs go stop you. If your plate number is less than a year hold, custom go stop you for Lagos plate any H& you would be stopped by customs and police for sure. If you drive luxury cars without escort custom go stop you like Range Rover, Gwagon, Lexus RX, BMW, benz even B200 got stopped at every custom checkpoint. If you drive normal cars with load custom must stop you to know wetin you carry. If you speed pass custom yo avoid being checked custom yo chase you and search your car for rice or contraband goods |
