deeMarc:As for Americans who first settled there, they invented cars. They never imported anything. Why can't Nigerians do likewise? All we need is National pride and things will begin to happen. |

/ I cannot even look at any car now. $45k car @ N199/$ exchange rate used to be about N9m before S & H. At the current rate of N485/$, it becomes N22m. No. Thank you. They can even close Apapa wharf for all I care. This is the best time to move into fixed assets. \ 1 Like 1 Share |

Nigerians are people with inherent sophisticated ignorance. It has been further compounded by perpetual failure to drop the toga of a looser being manifested by Jonathanians. These are the reasons why they can't give robust arguments to buttress their point but readily resort to abusive and gutter languages. Let them continue. Even Lee Kwon Young had critics before they were put to embarrassing shame by his exceptional performance. So, my fingers are crossed till 2018. 3 Likes 1 Share |

nextprince:thumps up to you too bro, the thing is this, who tells the op that they don't smuggle Cars in Nigerian seaport? A lot of nasty things goes on in tincan most times they smuggle Cars due to high custom duty rate and bring it to seme border to pay duty, I have paid duty to tincan smuggled cars more than 1000 times, I even did one 2014 Toyota venza just last week. 2 Likes 1 Share |

lifezone247:OP doesn't have any idea of what he is saying. The fuel subsidy fraud was perpetrated at Apapa port, so what's he saying again. There's this trending line of trying to make us believe any unpopular policy is only gonna affect the rich negatively. I can never understand. |

Op u are wrong. Do you know that there is corruption in apapa port than seme, idiroko and illaro combine. As a Licence agent in seme, I can tell you that an average Custom will prefer working in apapa port than our land boarder. Let me ask you, how many vessel or container do we receive daily on our land boarder compare to what comes to the port.? My bro no talk watin you no know |

kolnel:The federal government should ask itself why several Nigerians ship their cars to Cotonou rather than Lagos. Car importers would prefer to minimize cost wherever possible. If the cost of clearing cars were standard and at a cost similar to that of Benin Republic, our ports would get much more patronage. In addition, clearing of cars should not be cumbersome and should be achieved within the shortest time possible. Banning car importation through the land borders is not likely to work; there is no point in making rules that cannot be enforced. 1 Like |

Because some individuals are trying to regain lost control on the market share. Thé car prices in Lagos and Niger or Katsina are almost thesame. So whère is thé double taxation effect. If Thérè are crupt officers on land Thérè are also crupt officers at d port |

''Note: The 500,000 Cefa duty in Cotonou is usually a flat fee so it is insignificant to importers of expensive and exotic cars. So, a 2016 G-Wagon owner will prefer to smuggle through Cotonou with N2 million instead of paying N21 million in Apapa port" You just showed your level of bias in your write-up. Why would i ever wanna bring my 2015 Camry in through Tincan with N2.4m when i can easily pay the cfa 480,000 (N369,000) plus the N1.250m to Nigerian Customs and drive my car into the country by myself. Like many people have pointed it out, this ban would only keep enriching the ever-greedy customs officials and also make the car smugglers laugh at how stupid the government is. I dare you to pay a visit to Idi-iroko and Seme borders and gather your facts and come back here to edit your points. |

lifezone247: Thank you brother. These are what should dominate discussions on nl; educating those who know little or nothing about some issues with a view of finding a way out when one is trapped in such situations. Honestly, I know nothing about these illicit deals in vehicle importation cos my job is not related to that but the idea of smuggling vehicles from Tincan to Seme Border to evade exorbitant custom charges is the least I expect. Wonderful!!! In summary, it is cheaper to go through that process than simply getting the vehicle cleared at the port, implying that custom duties at the ports are throat-cutting, hmm. Nawao. May God save us in this country. I have learnt a trick and this is coming at the right time. Tnx. 2 Likes |

Instead of us running away from our problems which we would meet where we are going to in double fold, we shud face d land border issues, beef up d security measures address d issues of irregularities at d border and "#make it work". Since d announcement d seaport giant are waiting developing means whereby to thrive on corrupt measures. Even a robot can be corrupt, its a matter of hacking and reprogramming not to talk of humans.

veekid: You are the gullible and dllard here, I based in cotonou and am into car business too but i will never support another growth at the expense of my own country, Nigeria economy is benefiting little or nothing from importing cars through Cotonou, We have 6 seaports in Nigeria and Benin Republic have just one and we still buying from them growing their economy and our own economy is going down by the day.. The OP is right and the ban should remain.. Most of those senators import big and expensive cars through Cotonou so as to evade duty and we want our country to grow.. 1 Like |

kokaneprodigy: Bro we have 6 seaports in Nigeria and working on the 7th badagry seaport, I based in Cotonou and also into cars but our land borders are is not helping anything, Cars through land are short paid, We pay less at the border and it's due to corruption.. For example, 2010 Camry will be declared as 2002 and the value will be reduced so instead of paying for example 350-400k to Government account, We pay like 180k and settle the customs from office to office to get our papers approved.. also settle customs on the road.. |

bashydemy: That is the smart way to go for the FG. Any vehicle coming in from Cotonou should be registered in Benin Republic. Once a car is imported and cleared in Kenya, it enters the database. So if l want to know who owns a car, all l need to know is the plate number then go online pay about $5 and l will get the history of that car right from where it was bought from , arrival at the sea port, its clearance, who it was sold to etc. With this selling stolen vehicles is very difficult in Kenya because you can easily car search online. If the ID of the seller of the car and the documentation does not match what is on the database.... red flag. 1 Like |
