I had an amazing experience with the happiest people on earth when we escaped from the hustle and bustle of the City of Lagos, to the charming Inagbe Grand Resorts & Leisure set on the serene banks of the magnificent Lagos Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean.

This beautiful resort is a hidden paradise located on Inagbe Island, which is about 15mins boat ride from Victoria Island. We set out from the Regatta Jetty on Queens Drive (now Oyinkan Abayomi Drive) in Ikoyi area of Lagos on a charter boat and had a memorable experience exploring this stunning resort which captures the essence of nature, culture and tradition.

Pros

Customer service here is top-notch. On a scale of 1 to 10, they rate an easy 9.

Cons

The rooms require attention to details and proper maintenance. We checked into a two bedroom chalet that had a terrible smell. We returned to our apartment about 10pm and discovered that the tap wasn’t running. The intercom wasn’t working so we had to walk all the way to the reception to get help. Eventually we were upgraded to the six bedroom apartment shortly before midnight. I slept like a baby; my room had the ocean view so I woke up to the calmness and peace of the environment.
Wifi was free but very poor.

I have been trying to pay for a domain to no avail for the past 3 days.
My payment method has been paypal (using my GTbank Naira Mastercard) but it has not been true. I thought the issue was with paypal or the registrar website.
I realized today that it is bank issue when I tried to pay on Vultr.com and I experience the same issue.
I do not receive any email from GTbank for ny previous notice.

I decided to pull a call through to the customer care and to my surprise I was informed that GTBank has blocked any transaction on PayPal.

I tried to use the domain registar and Vultr card processing yet no success.

GTBANK IS TRYING TO FORCE THEIR DOLLAR CARD ON NIGERIANS
Only time will tell whowill lose at the end.

SAME THING HERE. I HAVE BEEN TRY TO PAY FOR LIKE COUPLE OF DAYS NOW AND NOT SUCCESS. TRIED DIRECTLY AND IT WORKED...USE YOUR CARD DIRECTLY

Please I am asking the IM people what card has been working flawlessly on payPal or other international card processing platforms.

Please share with my working Nigerian Bank Cards.

Thanks.

You may not need to do a physical inspection when you know the exact things to look out for. When in doubt, you can employ the service of a professional vehicle inspector for 90 dollars although I have used this service only once because of the year and cost of the car to be purchased.

The benefit of doing a VIN check in Nigeria before you purchase a car can never be overestimated. It will help save your hard earned money and most importantly your time amongst others. I have always known that some of us would do anything to sell our cars. However, the extent of this malicious act has grown from unreasonable to unfathomable.

You won’t believe what my eyes have seen as I am currently trying to get a 2007-2010 Camry for a client. The issues vary from flooded cars, rolled back mileage and extreme accidents to jalopy cars that look picture-perfect online. The car that drove me to the brink was a 2009 tokunbo Camry on OLX for N2m which looked good enough coupled with the usual hype from the seller.

Nevertheless, something seemed amiss because the price was too good. As usual, I requested for the car’s VIN to determine its history before going for a physical inspection. The disastrous history report revealed it was sold as scrap/destroyed car in USA and shipped to Nigeria 4 years ago, but the seller misrepresented this car to be a clean tokunbo, despite the fact that it has been registered and used in Nigeria for 3 years.

T[s]hese same reasons compelled me to start importing a[b]ll my client’s cars from the USA and Canada[b] in 2011, it has been cheaper and less stressful as the entire process from purchase to delivery is usually done from the comfort of my home[/b[/s]]. [/b]Fast forward to 2016, looking inward has become inevitable due to the sky-high dollar exchange rate. Therefore, clients with constrained budget have to settle for tokunbo cars while some prefer the Nigerian used cars.

Finally, when a deal seems too good to be true, then you need to be more careful e.g when the price is too fanimorous, the low mileage is not commensurate to the age of the car (e.g a 2001 model regular car will hardly have a mileage of 75,000 miles), when the seller wants you to take the car after paying 60% deposit while the balance will be spread over 3-6 months (in this case, the car is probably a Nigeria used car presented as tokunbo and it’s not worth more than your initial deposit so the balance you’ll be paying is extra profit to the seller) etc.

Let’s all make Nigeria great again.
