Make una share rice for december and oyeel.

Those rides, Lexus

Who buys expensive cars only for it to be abandoned....what exactly happens to the previous ones seized

I hope to have a customs babe, don't ask me why, go figure
@the poster above me, all those stuffs are kept in tthe warehouse for a determined period of time (depending on their perishability). Once that time elapses and no one comes up to claim it, the stuffs are auctioned at ridiculously low prices, while the minor stuffs are distributed among themselves (before they are destroyed -for the contraband stuffs sha).
Now you know why i want a customs babe

I have never seen a more wicked govt
than this Buhari regime.

We are unable to produce enough food
to feed the population, but customs
seizes any food coming in.

We say we want to be a food exporting
country, but raise alarm when neighboring
countries come to load our farm produce
to take out.

The Agric minister is an incompetent
French graduate who confuses ignorant
people with fake statistics. His fake theories
including Ibe Kachikwu's nonsense policies
are responsible for the terrible hunger &
inflation that have become normal things
under this clueless regime.

They are again considering another increase
of NEPA & fuel prices.

This govt is full of deadwood Ministers who
have no idea of what to do.

Can anybody name any positives that
this govt has brought to their lives?

All they do is to chase moving shadows.

All the corrupt bigwigs of GEJ regime are
walking about freely & enjoying their loot.

All these cars & monies they claim they have been
confiscating, what became of them?

All the guns & arms smugglers, what
became of them.

The serial Fulani kidnappers they have
been apprehending are released
through the back door.

Issokay.... 2019!!

ZOO.


They won't produce, they won't allow importation.

Most of these seized new cars are orders of government parastatals. Someone is trying to pocket the custom fees. Once they carry the FG green tag, no one will ever ask for the custom papers.

This is a welcome development, I wonder why some stupid minded citizens love evading tax and import duties.

the same set of pple who engage in this criminal activities pay tithe and offering pass. Good for them. heart attack fall on dem

Milllz:
All year they have been seizing bulletproof cars.

I’m yet to understand the rationale behind this or what makes the cars liable to be seized. I hope they’re not just trampling on the work of honest hardworking people like in the days of OBJ just to announce a 1trn Naira revenue.

Unless these cars are stolen, anyone who imports these expensive vehicles clearly has enough funds to legally clear them.

For Bullet proof vehicles you need an end-user certificate as it is seen as goods that can be readily converted to military use.

Is it an offence to import bullet proof cars?

With the number of bulletproof vehicles on our roads today and the ease with which money can purchase anything in this country, I’m sure the certificate won’t be hard to obtain. And I’m sure the owners of those cars are not poverty ridden.

Ajepako come see rice and plenty ororo o
