Can I get for both types please? Thanks

Fhemmmy:

Thanks for your time on our thread... please we need to know the year of the ride you are interested in or the budget you working with, it will be almost a tough one to list all price of Lexus rides from 2001 to 2016 for you sir.....looking forward to doing business with you.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Let's make it 2007-2009.

Hey my man. Can I get quotes for your Lexus brands and how much to get it into nigeria? I live in the US but eventual car destination is nigeria.

Anyway I can help you guys solve the mystery? Its unbelievable she dropped off the face of the earth just like that. I seem to remember in her "Mama" video she featured an older woman who looked very much like her.

stories like this gladden my heart. To see a young Nigerian recognizing this resilient ability innate in us to fight and to apply yourself as you have done tells me all hope is not lost. It reminds me of my beginnings and continuing efforts to survive the Big 4's challenges , especially in a place as cutthroat as NYC. Keep pushing bro. I have a law background like you from Nigeria. That is why I am all the more impressed. God be with you

I am in the process of setting up a company to import medical equipment - ranging from disposables like syringes to heavy duty equipment like X Ray machines into Nigeria. I would just like to know what the market is like , the challenges and other factors that I need to consider before going ahead. Thanks

Would you all prefer excess of 250,000 barrels (N2 BILLION) be stolen everyday?

Do you guys know even multi national oil companies in Nigeria are part of the oil theft/bunkering -- and some have actually been indicted before?

Should we continue to allow such leakages unchecked because some 'indian buyers' (be wary) and their shippers prefer the old ways whereby they can 'collabo' to sabotage Nigeria?

Whence the system is purged and stable, serious countries will patronize us -- even in other non-oil sectors!

It is tough on everybody. Personally, my businesses in Nigeria are affected -- good things come with a price -- hopefully in time we get it right, 'cause it's tough as it is.

brother na God go bless you. Sincerely when I hear the way some so called educated youths talk ,I now know why companies complain about the lack of employable workers. They can't read and think and yet these are the leaders of tomorrow Nigeria relies on. Sad!. For a country who loses a significant amount of its output to theft, a situation which endangers the revenue base of the entire nation and affect government expenditure, should we continue to allow crude to be stolen? One entity says they are not comfortable with it and now has Nigerian crude stopped selling ? Has the global market stopped seeing Nigerian crude? You don't even need to be a sophisticated researcher to not sound stupid. Just use google. Should we deprive ourselves of revenue because a buyer decides not to abide by terms ?should we jeopardize our own interests and pander to those who are probable crude stealers? And I am reading some dolts talk about outdated economic policy. If economic policy came to bite them they won't event recognize it. What better economic policy is better than blocking revenue leaks? Its a disgrace to see those who only talk after reading headlines only and with no follow up thinking converse. Disgusting !

Firefire:
Balance of power required.

You must have missed the memo where the PDP was roundly rejected. We run a Presidential System. Trying to achieve what could not be achieved at the ballot box is what the PDP is trying to do. Not going to work if the APC get Saraki out . after all its their mandate and he ran as APC. You can show me where the PDP was so magnanimous during their 16 years of waste.

OrlandoOwoh:
How come nobody hear about them? Major Umukoro and other officers that partook in the Orkah's failed coup that escaped to the UK and the US are still heard of. Could it be that Yildar and Usman changed their names and decided to remain outside the country, knowing that their offence is punishable by death?

who knows really. I learned they became citizens in the late 70s. They could be dead also. its a long time

Learned they both emigrated to the UK where they became citizens

Bollinger:
As sure as the sun shines. You cannot buy property unless those conditions are met.

not true. You don't have to be a citizen or green card holder to have a property in the US. The current owners of the Waldorf Astoria,arguably the most prestigious hotel in the US are Chinese

A very apt response to those who merely cherry pick what suits them without actually putting thinking into it. More grease to your intellectual prowess

SenseiX:
Brace yourselves welfare seeking Nigerians, tough times are ahead.
The economy is heading for a recession by the last quarter of the year and if Iran is allowed to release more oil into the already over saturated oil market, oil price might even fall below $40.....
In the midst of all this, the country is yet to get an economic Marshall plan and even an economic team.
Okonjo Iweala's tireless efforts placed the Nigerian economy on a pedestal, kept us at constant 7% growth, single digit inflation, got us into the bond index etc while Bubu's body language or is it body odour has got us here.

you really can't read can you? Did you read the part that said the process started in January or you were rushing to post without thinking? This information is basically beyond your league I'd say. Why not let those who know and can discuss these implications without sounding like ignoramuses talk and you can learn?

Tranquill:
When did they leave Nigeria? To the best of my knowledge they only withdrew from operating in the domestic market but still operate internationally from Nigeria. In any case, Whether the company operates from Russia or Togo, he is obligated to declare his assets whether quoted by NSE or not. You are the one displaying ignorance here. Afterall, the VP declared the property he owns outside Nigeria and his foreign accounts.

Now I wont get smart with you since you may actually not own a company or know how it works. Now hear this- the company stopped operating in Nigeria in 2008. this means their parent company which probably owned most of their shares divested from its Nigerian subsidiary which made the company stop work. they would however run in other areas as it is an international company. Now these foreign companies have these things they call annual reports which show you their leadership, board, operations. google can come to your aid then if you use it instead of relying of information from half literate bloggers. do yourself a favor and seek information before declaring about what you don't know and showing your lack of knowledge here

they left in.2008.I won't get smart with you since you may not know how company registration works if you don't have one. Now hear this: this company left 2008. Which means the company does not exist anymore in Nigeria and you do not own shares.in a company that has ceased to exist as far back.as.2008. Now for their international.shareholding , these companies abroad have this thing called annual.from.which you can glean information about their directors and operations . Please don't expose.your lack of knowledge further and do yourself some favor by using google

Tanoids , Jonathanians or whatever these distractions are called these days. please learn to read. a quick research on, wait for it, GOOGLE could have stopped this trash from going on FP

The company is no more in Nigeria! They left Nigeria after operational infractions in Nigeria that made Nigeria government revoke its license! Stop this Lilliputian lies! How do you declare a share by same company that is not situated in the country! The company was never listed in NSE!
Bu why is it so easy publish foolishness and have foolish people believe? how hard is it to cross check facts before rushing to post or publish same? why cant people who claim to be educated walk up to CAC and ask for these facts instead of printing libelous crap? the irony of it is you get exposed for not thinking properly . no wonder the failure rate for university entrance examinations are high... to research is so new to some people. they wait for a deluded person to post gibberish and then start commenting on what they absolutely have no clue about . education is indeed in a sorry state in Nigeria. ok shares discoverers , go to court please. Jeez!

saw them all.

dam007:
I'm really encouraged by your words sir..

I am glad I encouraged you

queenfav:
its sickening o..God will help us.Only a lawyer wil fully understand what new wigs go through.I have a male friend who was in the same law school campus with me.After our call to bar,he set up his own fish farming company in delta and is doing ok.Then I thought he was making a mistake since he is extremely good in advocacy.But now,I totally see why he dumped his wig and gown.

if practice is what you want to do, stick to it. the limitations of our legal training blinds we lawyers to see the opportunities that are revolving around law. a few folks here have talked about being an in-house counsel or legal officer. you can look for that. also , learn and learn. I know it is hard because bills have to be paid and backgrounds are different but take the little and work as hard as possible to learn. that knowledge would speak for you when the opportunities come your way. if you are able, look at niche areas you can identify after getting grounded. law is a jealous profession. you have to covet and serve it with all your being before it begins to serve you

queenfav:
thanks a lot..at least someone underdtands what I am going thru.many are here screaming mindset up and down.When you spend over a million naira in law school,and close to 200k for call to bar expenses;only for most firms to be payin10-15k,u will understand fully that it goes beyond mindset.The seniors are not helping.My friend works with an AG,d man makes millions yet cannot even pay the guy 5k.his reason being that the govt pays him 19800.Wheras my friend works like a horse to keep the firm running.

the way new wigs are treated is something I would hope the NBA would address. lip service has been paid to it for far too long. new wigs should be mentored properly to keep the ones with the most potential in the profession. However , it is clear that the law profession is very different in practice now from what was obtainable in the past. please read my recommendations and work as hard as possible. go for what is at hand and start from there.

lastpage:
What exactly are you saying? You dont know nadda so STFU!

Please, l am from a royal family and "of age" as well. I have seen things with my own naked eyes, ...in the past.

Those things being discussed are NOT DONE at the Coronation proper (that one is a public event for all "neophyte eyes".

The "preparation" is done way before then and its done in utter secrecy in the dead of the night and in places where only the "initiated" are allowed entry.

Even his wife and children dont have access to such initiation ceremony; only the "elders".

I doubt they can even abolish it because it is TRADITION and THAT IS HOW IT IS DONE .....though they are under immense pressure now that "internet and phone technology" is trying to expose that which use to be very secret and cultish.

But then, hwy are they even bordering to change people's opinion like they owe anyone an explanation?
Its our Tradition and culture and whoever does not like it can phuck-off to where they came from.


Lastpage!

No I am not from a royal family. I just happen to be the son of the Elegboro of Ijebu-Jesa, a sitting principal member of the Osun State Council of Traditional Rulers. your ignorant self has never attended one of these things. I have so till you tell me you have partaken of these rites listen to those who know . I repeat again and I am sure your ignorance has been further exposed by the high chiefs who have already said what is obvious. NO ABOBAKU CURRENTLY EXISTS. get that straight!

Hey there,
I totally understand the way you feel right now. Its the same way I felt about 9 years back after youth service. my first salary was 5, 000 in Ibadan and I remembered thinking to myself "what have I gotten myself into?". now know this- the law profession is a great profession but it is a profession for hardworking people. the fact is the Nigerian economy is taking its own toll on the practice abilities of colleagues like yourself to sustain themselves. The seniors in the profession do not help the matter too. this is where you have to be creative and daring. for instance in my case I went to become a state counsel and later travelled out for my masters in the US. today I am an international tax counsel with knowledge in economics and finance. be creative ma'am. take whatever comes your way for now and get into the system. from there, drop the lawyer stiffness and talk to people and increase your social contacts . the connections will come like a trickle but nurture them till they become a flood. do what comes to you diligently and learn as much as you can. you have a unique knowledge not many people have . use it . I remember while I was a lawyer working for Oyo State, I volunteered for the difficult land cases. this made me know lots of people then in Ibadan. I went on radio to talk about new areas such as Alternative Dispute Resolution. the law certificate is just a mere ticket to the party. what you make of it is entirely up to you. I managed properties, sold land, marketed same , drafted agreements, sold diesel, formed companies for people, did divorces, evicted nonpaying tenants and so many more things I could not count. All legal and honorable. Get going and roll up your sleeves ma'am. I wish you all the best. Let me know how you are doing .

icecool982:
I wish that was true but far from it,bunch of liars!

Did you provide the human sacrifice?

Shymm3x:
Well said.

The custodians of Yoruba culture are loutish and stupid. Not everything should be discussed on the pages of newspaper and the internet. And if at all they want to change anything, it should be a private thing. These folks are just making a mockery of everything and they don't know when to shut up.

I am sure they said what they said to dispel the erroneous information being peddled around by those who have no idea what they are doing or saying. you want them to be accused of performing human sacrifice in this internet age? the implications of that to them and their family members would be enormous socially. blame those with cheap internet access who chose to spread stupid untrue news and those who were gullible enough to believe such idiocy with no research. No one dies and the fact that they keep their rites secret means they don't need the speculation or people poking their noses into what is not their business

Sweetlemon:
I don't know why all these chiefs are bothering with all these lies.

If they are feeling guilty then they can abolish the damn tradition. But it should not be like they are trying to make themselves look better because abeg leave story, Royalty in Africa is very very very very dirty business. The kinds of things these royals and their chiefs do periodically ehn? You will coil! The King's death is the zenith of all. You just cannot imagine!

As for those saying the Oba is now a Christian. Leave that thing. No pastor can do nada. The Oba is a public property. He belongs to his people. I don't even think an Oba or any King can even decide to step down. Once you've been chosen by the oracle, you are the King whether you like it or not, if you no like am, then die.

Have you attended a coronation before? I have and no one dies in the process. do you know the number of people that would have been reported missing if it were fact that humans were used as sacrifice? It amuses me how the ignorant are the ones whose fingers type the fastest when speaking about things they are totally clueless about. take your time and ask questions then you can speak with authority not base your comments on foolish people who just type rubbish on the internet and pass it along for you guys. there is no tradition to abolish because it has not happened in many many years. hopefully you have been better educated now

favourelisha:
Useless yoruba culture.

You think believing a tweet from a random individual out to have fun and speculate without you fact checking does not make you more useless?

oreos:
Yes, I have

It is very much still alive

I would like you to tell me with facts where in Yorubaland this exists now

There is no Abobaku title in Ife and there has never been such requirements. In the old days of the Oyo Empire,the Aremo (Crown Prince) was required to die with his father when the latter joins his ancestors. There were also other individuals required to die with him to serve him in the afterlife as it was believed then. Among those were the Abobaku. This changed with the decline and breakup of that Empire. Do not fall victim of unresearched articles proliferating because of cheap internet access

TheOnlyWiseMan:
This Mbaka again?
He turned against Former president Jonathan because his Wife refused to be scammed by him.

Do you know how to read?

BrownCookie:
Nigerians can never concern themselves with vital things. So someone actual takes times to notice she deleted her former instagram page only to open a new one & her beau's pic is not there Mschew!

Sips d last content of my grand malt.

Returns to the Nigerian weekly law report right in front of me.

totally impressed!how many years at the bar miss?

Topman0001:
NLC is thinking in a very wrong way, an idle hand they say is the devil's workshop. Imagine what the decline in corruption and crime rate would have been if the million unemployed people are gainfully employed. Can u remember the imigration exam that was written and job seekers were stapeded. Those that wrote the exam were several HND, Bsc and masters degree
holder. If Nigeria does not take care of the unemployed first, crime and corruption will remain.

Exactly I would expect them to be bothered about how to make sure the economy the workers spend their wages in becomes improved and that can be done by pressurizing the government to continue to improve economic conditions . solving the unemployment issue would be a direct consequence of an improved economy . then wages would matter.
