Economically, Direct bus I'm being advise to get I believe would be expensive than the cutting

So I want to seek advise and ask some questions from car gurus and experts here;

What's the disadvantages of getting the cutting/assembling mini bus in Nigeria

How much is direct/imported from abroad sold in Nigeria

I look forward to your intelligent contributions. Thanks in anticipation

"When buying, don't buy the turbo."... If I can still remember his reasons well, I think he said turbo type breaks down easily, the body, fuel consumption and the nature of Nigerian roads.

That is what a Korope driver told me early this year when I was searching for which business to venture into.

The starting price for the one he advised me to buy then was around 800k or so... It is the Belgium grade.

P. S- I can't remember the actual name of the one he told me to buy.

YNWA!

Go and pay her bride price first, then come back and tell us if your neighbor still dey disturb her.

In the process some Northern Christian political and religious leaders became captives to the spell of anti-Jonathan ritual-cow syndrome and consequently became the willing political tools of the Caliphate’s evil machinations, mostly through the Episcopal exertions of the Northern-led Roman Catholic Church of which the Metropolitan Archbishop of Abuja the Okun Yoruba-born John Cardinal Onaiyekan, the Taraba State Kona-born President of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, the Kaduna State-born Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto Bishop Matthew Kukah, and the Tiv-born former Governor of Benue State Senator George Akume.

The first strategy adopted by the Caliphate in recruiting these willing Christian quislings was to sow the seed of discord among the Nigerian Christian family. In pursuing this strategy they found a willing tool in the person of John Cardinal Onaiyekan the Episcopal head of Abuja Catholic Archdiocese and titular head of the Roman Catholic flock in Nigeria. John Cardinal Onaiyakan was quick in accepting to be a quisling to the Caliphate’s design to sow the seed of discord among the Nigerian Christendom which ultimately paved the way for the failed attempt to destroy Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s reputation as President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the eventual scuttling of President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid for obvious personal reasons.

First, he saw it as an opportunity to cut his own pound of flesh from Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor who according to him master-minded his failed bid for second-term in office as President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) by opting to challenge him and eventually defeating him in the election that followed. But the same John Cardinal Onaiyekan forgot that his election as CAN President in the first indtance was the result of his scuttling of the second-term bid of the Primate of Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) Most Reverend Peter Akinola for the same reason of under-performance.

Furthermore, it is instructive to note that Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor did not in the first place indicate any intetest to challenge John Cardinal Onaiyekan for the CAN Presidency but was only invited to take the mantle of leadership by the Northern caucus of the Christian Association of Nigeria of which John Cardinal Onaiyekan was a member, who saw the latter’s unrestricted cuncubinage with the Caliphate utterly embarrassing at the detriment of the collective interests of the Northern Christians.

The second reason why John Cardinal Onaiyekan easily fell prey to the Caliphate sinister political motives was his ridiculous belief that even though he is a Yoruba by ethnic definition from Okun sub-ethnic group in Kogi State, he proudly sees himself as a Northerner first with the sumptuous carriage of an Ahmadu Bello protégé in the manner of his Okun kinsman Chief Sunday Awoniyi and the Okene-born Alhaji Abdulrahman Okene of Ebira ethnic extraction. John Cardinal Onaiyekan was reported one time eulogizing Sir Ahmadu Bello for offering him scholarship, which he skipped in place of Roman Catholic priesthood. Thus from all intents and purposes his primary allegiance neither goes to his Yoruba root nor his Christian vocation but to the Caliphate.

Thirdly, the leadership of the Caliphate was quick to exploit this deep-seethed sentiment against Pastor Oritsejafor by John Cardinal Onaiyekan which had already infested the greater part of the Roman Catholic clergy. Through what they concocted as Protestant domination of the Nigerian political scene against the Roman Catholics, the Caliphate invited the Roman Catholic leadership to ally with them against President Goodluck Jonathan who is an Anglican, with the promise of their support for a Roman Catholic Vice President or President of the Federation as the case may be. This agreement actually played out when Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over-turned all PDP Party rules and agreements decided to pick Mr. Peter Obi as his Vice Presidential Running-mate against popular Party decision. Indeed Peter Obi schemed his way through the Roman Catholic leadership, presenting himself as the champion of Roman Catholic political revolution in the Southeast which led the latter to present him to Atiku Abubakar as their choice candidate.

Fourth and finally, John Cardinal Onaiyekan was reminded of the long-standing Caliphate magnanimity to the Roman Catholic Church when the Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region approved against all opposition by Sultan Abubakar and other prominent Sokoto Caliphate religious leaders the establishment of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto on June 16, 1964, whereas it was only in 1990 that the Anglican Church was permitted to upgrade to a Diocese. Thus it was incumbent for the Roman Catholic leadership to reciprocate by joining their onslaught against President Goodluck Jonathan.

In pursuing the above objectives the Cardinal opted to operate from the background by delegating the anti-Oritsejajor and Jonathan onslaughts to his subordinates led by the Archbishop of Jos and now his successor-Metropolitan Archbishop of Abuja Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama. But that was not before he fired the first shot in January 2013 when he threatened to pull the Roman Catholic Church out the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for what he claimed was Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s closeness to President Goodluck Jonathan, but which was in fact part of his calculated objectives within the Caliphate scheme to divide the Nigerian Christian body and in the process issolate the body from President Goodluck Jonathan.

John Cardinal Onaiyekan’s mutinous statement sent cold shivers down the spines of many concerned Christians but none was able to overtly come out to confront the seemingly invincible Roman Catholic Potentate. It took the President of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) the now late Dr. Frederick Faseun to urgently invite the present writer for a strategic deliberation on the consequences of John Cardinal Onaiyekan’s Judasian statement. The result was the present writer’s feature article on the January 31, 2013 issue of the Vanguard newspaper which momentarily put the planned exit in an uneasy state of abbeyance.

After effectively getting the Roman Catholic leadership into their ship of political Armageddon, the Caliphate decided to to launch one of their biggest conspiracies against Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor through the office of the Chief Security Adviser to the President, Col Samdo Dasuki. As the chief procurement officer for special arms in the Presidency Dasuki decided to clandestinely seek for the lease of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s semi-commercialised aircraft for a stage-managed arm purchase in South Africa. Pastor Oritsejafor on the knowledge that his aircraft was being hired by the Presidency thought it was a favour coming from President Goodluck Jonathan. But unknown to him it was a political bubby-trap set for him by the Caliphate in conspiracy with the Roman Catholic clergy-leadership through Sambo Dasuki without the knowledge of President Jonathan.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who had been promised to take over from Muhammadu Buhari after the latter’s first term of office was effective in linking up the plan with his friend and South African President Jacob Zuma. Both men had become very close friends when they were both Vice Presidents. Both had the same clandestine ambitions to succeed their Presidents. While Jacob Zuma succeeded in his bid against President Thabo Mbeki, Atiku Abubakar failed in his bid to either unseat or succeed President Olusugun Obasanjo. Indeed both men were suspended almost at the height of their ambitions by their respective political parties—ANC and PDP. Both have equally exchanged visits both official and private. In later years Atiku Abubakar was to act as President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Envoy to President Jacob Zuma. So it wasn’t a coincidence that South Africa was chosen as the hatchet country for the plan.

Ordinarily special arm purchases by most countries are carried out with raw cash due to their secrecy and often pass through coadunate Secret Service links of the purchasing and supplying countries. In other words, the Presidency should not have sent out the sum of 9.3 million US dollars for purchase of arms in the Republic of South Africa without the formal knowledge of the South African Government and Secret Service. Indeed that was actually done but this time for the purpose of blackmailing the owner of the courier aircraft and embarassing President Goodluck Jonathan. The idea being, as in the theory of vile propaganda, sell the story and wait till it sinks into the minds of the people before telling the truth about it. That was the strategy and it worked out perfectly for them.

Working in concert with the Roman Catholic leadership and to drive the embarrassment deeper into the homebase of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor the 5th of September 2014 was chosen as the D-Day for the operation, and for that reason the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria under the Presidency of Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama chose to hold their meeting the same date in Warri, the homebase of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. Thus it was a calculated plan for the Catholic Bishops to learn about the news of the abortive use of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s Aircraft for illegal arms purchase by the Presidency while holding their annual Conference in Warri. But the question which most people failed to ask at that time was, can the Presidency engage on illegal arms purchase?

It was interesting if not ridiculous to note that it took the Presidency close to two weeks to clear the air about the truth of the arms purchase saga, enough time for the damaging news to sink down the gullible minds of most Nigerians. That was indeed after Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor had battled on his own to clear his name from the calculated mess. But then the objective having been achieved it soon became the platform for the open vilification of the person of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor thereby putting the entire body of Christian Association of Nigeria in a terrible momentary shock nationwide. For the Roman Catholic leadership however it afforded them the opportunity as planned to commence their onslaught against both Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and President Goodluck Jonathan.

The first onlaughr came from the retired Archbishop of Lagos Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie who loudly accused President Goodluck Jonathan of inept leadership and corruption and advised him not to run for a second term. He then turned to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and not minding his position as the President of Christian Association of Nigeria rained unprintable insults on him concluding that Pastor Oritsejafor had “finished himself” and “fallen from grace to grass”, for no other reason than being close to President Goodluck Jonathan.

The former Governor of Benue State Senator George Akume acting under the commission of his religious potentates described Pastor Oritsejafor as “clearly criminal, immoral and unethical.” For Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, acting under the commission of his Caliphate memtors, used unprintable names against the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria which under no circumstance a Christian would call a Muslim religious leader, describing Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor as “an irresponsible leader.”

From that stage the baton was handed over to Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama who became the official APC Ecclesiastical Chief Campaign Officer with his Episcopal House outreach to President Muhammadu Buhari. Indeed as Archbishop Kaigama evidently stated in 2016, “we needed change and it came by the Person of President Buhari.”To bring in some Protestant colourings in the anti-Oritsejafor campaign one renegade Protestant clergyman named Pastor Kallamu Ali Dikwa who claimed to be the Executive Director of Voice of Northern Christian Movement was recruited by Archbishop Kaigama to sell the phantom 7 billion naira campaign bribe to Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) by the Presidency. Pastor Ali Dikwa was to later apologise to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor for the damaging falsehood through Pastor Emmanuel Bosun.

For Archbishop Kaigama however, the launching of anti-Oritsejafor/Jonathan campaign in the South was to be undertaken with great caution because of the high state of pro-Jonathan sentiment among the people. But at the end a convenient tool was found in the person of Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka who came with a bang in his now infamous clandestine Homily code-named “From Goodluck to Badluck” on December 31, 2014. The other priests and the Knighthood wing of the Church were cautiously implored to work in tandem with Father Mbaka’s venomous utterances by subtly desuading their members from turning out en mass for the 2015 General elections in order to reduce the chances of President Goodluck Jonathan securing enough votes in the South. That was indeed what happened.

The calculation of the Caliphate was that President Jonathan would definitely reject the result of the Presidential election which would then pave way for the planned mayhem against the Christians with the already stock-piled illegal arms which would then would have served to provide the massive human blood needed to atone the rituals of the buried live-cow. It should be noted that as far back as 2013 illegal arms had been streaming into the country in massive order with the connivance of Northern political and religious leadership and the present writer was privileged to warn the Federal Government of the impending danger during the Channels Televion morning programme “Sunrise” on April 11, 2013.

Fortunately against the opinions of all doubting Thomases, President Goodluck Jonathan as if moved under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit refused to be used as the conduit for the spilling of the blood of innocent Nigerians when he dramatically accepted his defeat in good fate. Although celebrated widely, that decision did not go down well with the Northern leaders. Indeed signs that Nigerians will live to re-pay for the unatoned blood of the ritual-cow began to emerge with the September 24 2015 Hajj stampede in Mina Saudi Arabia where Nigeria recorded 74 victims out of a total 717 victims.

But then the twin-problem of what to do with the stock-piled illegal arms and where to source the ritual blood as required by the buried live-cow remained unresolved. Here again one can explain the rise of the muderous armed Fulani herdsmen with their atrocious activities, of which the people of Southern Kaduna, the States of Benue, Plateau and Enugu were the greatest victims, as well as the surging banditry in Katsina and Zamfara States and, the now daily occurrences of massive kidnappings along the major highways in Northern Nigeria.

In January 2017, following the genocidal killings in Southern Kaduna in which more than 200 defenceless citizens were killed, the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor called for one day fasting and prayer in honour of the victims. To prove the insensitivity of the Roman Catholic leadership and their marked collusion with the Caliphate John Cardinal Onaiyekan came out to publicly denounce the one day fasting and prayer in honour of the Southern Kaduna victims of Fulani herdsmen massacre ordering the Roman Catholics not to be part of the activity.

The present writer was to again take the bull by the horn by publishing a featured advertotial titled: “Cardinal Onaiyekan, the Southern Kaduna Killings and the Roman Catholic Divisiveness Against the Body of Christ”, respectively on Vanguard, Sun and Leadership newspaper issues of Thursday January 19, 2017. Coupled with the present writer’s anti-islamization suit against the Federal Government at Federal High Court, Asaba, John Cardinal Onaiyekan had to walk straight in person to President Muhammadu Buhari and demanded to know why the present writer was still moving freely with all his anti-government activities. The rest are history as it was only by the act of Providence that he found himself alive today in exile.

Today it appears that the Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor metaphor “Mr. President you’re finished” is no longer applicable within the time and space of present Nigeria. It is indeed right to redefine the metafor as “Mr. President we’re finished”, for although President Goodluck might have been finished from remaining Nigeria’s President, he was however not finished in the actual sense of the phrase, having assumed the role of a Special Envoy to the same people who fought to see his exit from Aso Villa. Those who seem to be the real victims of that metaphor are now the ordinary people with no religious and ethnic distinctions, and the question which arises is who should be blamed?

A tree stands and bears fruit only if supported by the coordinated efforts of the tap and fibrous roots. Today while the Caliphate represents the tap root of the present Federal Government, the Roman Catholic leadership represents the fibrous roots. Many Nigerians are equally aware that Nigeria is run today by two-in-one Presidency. The de jure represented by President Muhammadu Buhari and the de facto represented by the Caliphate through the present Chief of Staff Prof. Ibrahim Gambari.

So it looks ridiculous and phony for a group which describes itself as Northern Elders Forum to demand the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over his inability to arrest the sliding insecurity in the country. How can the tap root of a tree question the same tree over the type of fruit it bears? This is impossible. They know the source of Nigeria’s current problem of widespread insecurity. They know that it is a spiritual problem created by them. And they are very well aware that neither President Muhammadu Buhari nor General Tukur Yusuf Buratai has the solution to the problem, and that even if both men are removed from office today the problem will still persist. The fact is obvious. Any problem generated from a spirtual conclave can only be solved in like spiritual manner. Anyone therefore hoping to resolve such a problem by physical means is only playing the Ostrich.

Some of them will convert that bikes to private bikes before you know whatsup.

Story story, they should apply a reasonable method, instead of the scandalous auctioning if vehicles.

Fine them heavily iand sieze the car until they pay the fine, it will be more effective than auctioning of people's cars.

Some will still go behind and pay little money to get their cars during the auction.

You get the point joor!

Tetehjewels:
So you want the military to kill the abducted victims? What if they used them as human shields?

It's not everything you read that tells the whole story. This is not a movie scene. It is reality.

Read that post again please, they ran during the shootout, it is not as if they used them as human shields during the shootout nor were they inside their vehicles already.

According to the report, the school has one vehicular entrance through which the bandits and the army both gained entrance. Abi they use helicopter take fly comot?

Even if they used them as human shields as you insinuated, what happened during that moment they stopped firing to the moment they stationed or lined up the abducted victims as shields, and again the moment they moved themselves and the abducted victims inside the vehicle and zoomed off?
What happens to trailing them or surrounding them?

You don't need rocket science to see through this bit common sense.

This one to follow sha but it is not the main reason bro.
