They should make life liveable for car dealers and buyers too buy making the custom duties moderate and not collect almost the exact money you used in buy the car.

And he is not ashamed to talk like that. What is the custom doing at the border then.

Why should he be ashamed? You and I know that most establishments of government is very corrupt including most citizens. Even you, have also been involved in one corruption or the other, either directly or indirectly. So Alli is calling a spade a spade.

The problem has to be corrected
1. by discouraging patronage of smuggled cars and 2. closing the borders where smuggled cars thrive.
2 has been achieved successfully and hence the achievement of daily revenue generation averaging 5Billion Naira.

The 1st has to be achieved too by discouraging you and I, including well meaning citizens from buying smuggled products. By that, we can grow the country economy together holistically. Once a potential buyer knows that He will still pay, a whopping fine by buying/using a smuggled product, such will desist from patronizing smugglers and this will discourage every smuggler out there killing our economy.

Nigerians and their entitlement mentality. You want the economy to thrive like that of the US or the Europeans and you don't want policies that encourages such? you want to eat your cake and still have it. Sense fall on all of you.

I totally disagree with you sir. If you truly believe this, then your claim indicts your organization as incompetent and redundant.
This means 9 in every 10 cars are smuggled. How could you believe this? Talk more of voicing it.
Your organization has lost credibility before Nigerians. Not when its always being associated with Corruption and Extortion.

God bless Nigeria!

Then review your policies / levies etc and make it a win-win.

I’m sure you know that you can’t close your border forever.

If he said 30% of the cars were smuggled then it can be considered an operational problem, but at 90% where do you start to find solution.

It doesn't help when the president ignores the judiciary institutions that he should be supporting. When the legal institutions are compromised, it affects other security institutions such as the customs office.

This is so true.
We need to sanitize our border efficiently.
Apart from cars, many bad vices are smuggled through the border on a daily basis.


Some of the cars at this car dealers shop are stolen cars.



This is how it is suppose to be done.
We will get there in out nation.

This is not how it is supposed to be done. The innocent buyer is a victim of a crime as well. He should not be punished - rather the seller until you get to the original criminal. Most likely the original criminal is engaging in this act in a wholesale manner. If you take him out, then you solve one big problem using less resources rather than running around chasing after several car owners.

Also if things work this way, car owners would cooperate with customs. It will also lead to people changing their behavior and buying from approved car dealers.
This is how things work in normal countries, a man who reasons like the customs boss (based on his comments) has no business running any public agency. Sad!

We only have borders in the south.


BTW, this comment from Customs is an indictment on them.

Exactly my point, it means they have out lived their usefulness

OlujobaSamuel:
You mean with the increase in custom revenue, we still have about 90% of our vehicles having unpaid duty?
I guess the figure must be about 98% before your arrival then?

Don't mind the liar
