How will your vehicle be shipped?

The moment you inform us of the vehicle to be shipped, a dock receipt is generated for delivery of the vehicle to the port, you will be sent a copy of this via e-mail.

The dock receipt contains information about shipper and receiver, the vessel/carrier's details, the expected time of departure and arrival of the vessel, details of the vehicle, port of loading and discharge port.

When the vehicle is delivered to the port, you will get a confirmation of the delivery. We will also send you confirmation, once your vehicle starts her voyage to her new destination

INLAND TRANSPORT COST

The cost of transporting your vehicle from the dealer's lot to the seaport is not fixed but depends on location and number of miles to the seaport. For a cheap fee, it is advised that you purchase your vehicle in States close to the port.

OCEAN SHIPPING COST

Find below the cost of shipping your cars from the seaport to Lagos, Cotonou etc.

Ocean shipping and Courier fee (DHL) for sending your documents: $1050
Bank charges (offshore and onshore) : $50
Total : $1100

Ocean shipping for Sedans and SUVs that run and drive is $1100



Payments are not made upfront but after the vessel carries your vehicle. However, if an upfront payment is convenient for you, it is acceptable.

The above cost is for RO-RO services. Contact for detailed cost of container services.

Ujujoan: Not yet, this only happened this year and she's not even dating again yet. sad

I know she'll get over it and learn . . .
Ha ha ha... I wish her well. No matter the seriousness of a relationship, ladies should learn how and when to close their legs.
If you lose money, you have lost nothing but when dignity/pride is lost, everything is lost.

She opened her legs the first time of meeting a guy, pathetic. Please, help her with a lock and key for her down below.... cheesy

@Aisha2,

One of the problems of people is we give in easily to stupid and crazy opinions of others.

No one should compromise some fundamental principles and standards no matter the urgency to be married.

When greed meets desperation, this is always the result.

Na so husband scarce reach?

I once tried to date a girl who refused to take me to her house. She was always giving a meeting point.

I told her, at my age, I am told for meeting "ladies behind a car". I left her without looking back.

To start a relationship, you must know the official residence of your potential spouse including that of his/her parents. You never can tell, he/she may be a ghost grin grin

I pity a lot of singles who for emotions sake, forget basic questions to ask and investigate. I still love the investigating techniques of our forefathers in this matter. Though, knowledge may abound now but they were wiser in their generation compared to this age as per marital scrutiny. They do investigate family background, culture, fidelity etc but our age is all about, I love him/her, he is cute and fun to be with bla bla bla... No substance.

May God help all singles who are willing to do it right.

freakcin: He omitted her name out of spite. It wasn't borne of a rationale act. It might not register in his brain now, but years from now when he matures more and become truly enlightened, he'll realise he did wrong.

I should know! I've had similar experience, not exactly like this but quite similar. I was quite vengeful back then and did something quite nasty to someone.

You wanno know the worst part. . . the person's late.

Anger/vengence is one of the greatest emotion in life, when it posses you, even the devil ain' got nothing on you that moment.

I've since learnt to let God battle for me.
But we don't know if he did it for revenge. We can't conclude why he left her name out.

divalishis: @bukatyne

It's bound and copies have been signed by both supervisors and HOD. I think What's left is for the Dean to sign.

His second supervisor did not support him even. I don't want to talk about what happened. He was mentioned though.

It hurts sha. But I just look at it that Maybe It's cause he was virtually through when we made up.
We broke up like eight months into the program.
You shouldn't be hurt. You came in at the rush hour.

onegig: We both know that's not the case here given the fact she said he added the names of his friends and roommates. Even went as far as mentioning individual names.

There's something up his sleeves and that's not how healthy couples do things. Once something is in the past you forgive and let go.
We are not in the best position to know whether those he mentioned contributed to the thesis or not.

The fact that he mentioned his friends doesn't mean he mentioned them because they are his friends. It maybe because they contributed.

The OP didn't help matter by bottling the issue instead of talking about it.
Family › Re: He Didnt Mention Me In His Acknowledgment! by bellong: 6:14pm On Aug 10, 2014
freakcin: @ OP, simply try to o be the best you can and continue to support him.This is your penance for your past deeds.

Funny thing is that, dude will regret this action of his years from now. There're things we just have to overlook, not for now but for posterity
!
How and what will make him regret his justified action?

bukatyne: I get where the OP is coming from.

In school, we acknowlegded those that did not know our project title as far they were/are our friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, roommates, reading partners etc.

The guy should just add her, she has learnt a big lesson.

I am also curious to know why he reconciled with her
I understand you but the OP's boyfriend maybe sticking to those that made the thesis a success and not the everyday junk people write in acknowledgements.

This your definition is ambiguous... cheesy.

OP,

In an academic thesis, what does "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT" means?

Is she the only lady in town? huh huh huh

Nobody should be in fear to talk to a spouse, irrespective of gender.

There is no fear in Love. He that hath fear is not made perfect in Love.
Family › Re: He Didnt Mention Me In His Acknowledgment! by bellong: 4:14pm On Aug 10, 2014
As an academics, thesis is not for romantic pass or gesture but strictly academic.

Only those who contributed positively in kind, research, monetary, consciously and unconsciously deserve a mention.

From what you have narrated, you don't deserve a drop of ink in that thesis, it doesn't mean the guy is not in love with you. It only means this is strictly academics not romance.

If you had been supportive, you would have gotten a mention. Those people you thought contributed little to his success actually contributed something invaluable like words of encouragement during your caustic mouth days. So, it is not because he is marrying you, he should put up a smokescreen in a thesis.


Now tell me, why did you think you deserve a mention?

The money gets deducted not immediately perse but within 24hrs.

However, you wouldn't be able to access it except the available balance.

@Temi4God,

One thing I have learnt about mothers is "their instinct" towards their children. It is God's blessings for motherhood.


If you are probably being disturbed by your instinct, I guess you shouldn't push it aside. Since your husband has refused to talk or clarify issues, your best bet is to be watchful over the little girl. Not saying he is capable of doing it or not but take necessary precautions from allowing your fears to happen.

Is your husband's testosterone abnormally high? How does he reacts to touch and gestures from opposite sex irrespective of age?

Observe him around the opposite sex across age range and note his reactions. If its same with your daughter, it may be extremely high libido worrying him and he needs psychological help.

For now, don't let your fear consume you but do not leave the girl unattended till your confidence is restored.

There should be something to catch the fancy of your husband for discussion. Do you know?
Health › Re: Ebola Scare In Imo State (bath Salt Water) by bellong: 9:54am On Aug 08, 2014
onegig: You are not a scientist. You are an educated illiterate. Something is called a virus and you believe salt water would prevent it?

In your journey as a scientist you should have learnt how viruses work.


@op. All these educated illiterate people we have in this country is why the black man can never move forward. To process a simple information is big issues. Viruses are microscopic organisms that attach themselves to the cells of a living body. They are not worms that their growth can be impeded by salt solutions. Neither are they anti virals. If saline solutions work then no one should have cold and cattarrh which are viral infections again as your body already contains a considerable amount of saline. Even the saltiest water body the Dead sea has bacteria and algae flourishing in it.

Get your facts right and stop spreading rumours please. It's very annoying.
The question I asked when I was told of the salt bath is what is in the Sodium Chloride solution that will kill a virus?

Well, the bible says "Afflictions make a wise man mad". Fear has the power of blocking every avenue of reasoning for those governed by it.

Simple and basic hygienic culture is enough as a precautionary measure.

It wasn't luck but Dell is tested and trusted.

Maybe you need to ask hardware professionals about Dell and not daily users who use it for watching movies grin

As for HP, it is a fake product anywhere. Their major market is Africa, the dumping ground.

I have never owned any other make aside Dell. I have bought three so far. None has ever had issue with motherboard.

Don't let the ignorance of few discourage you from a good brand. The present issue with yours is not the status quo.

Did they give you suggestion of the brand to buy in place of Dell?

ladygogo: Thank you so much bellong.

Hmmmm. ok o.

Damn! How did you pull that off in Nigeria? shocked Are you an Accountant? Cos i'm one too and was feeling cool with myslef that i was able to save some money.

You be original Aka gum! grin
Far from being an accountant but values accountability grin....

I already summarized how I did it above. I didn't spend more than I quoted because I made the budget and didn't borrow a dime to supplement.

The case was more of I cut my clothes according to my material. No time comparing life with another.

Contentment is one important virtue everyone must imbibe, it gives peace of mind.

coogar: bellong, the best money-manager in the world. i still marvel at how you could have achieved this. surely, there are some stuff you musta forgotten you spent money on. N0.85m looks so small with the number of guests you invited.
I already told my people that the budget I have can only cater for numbered guests, so the cost for the additional guests will be on them.

I already told my wife that she should choose one of traditional or church wedding. Unknown to me, my father-in-law does not give a damn about traditional marriage. We only took the stuff to their compound with selected people to join in the prayer traditional ceremony. Nothing was shared as it was strictly a prayer program with rendition of hymns.

Cutting cost should be an agreement between the two parties with the family. If we couldn't agree on something immaterial like budget for ceremony, how then can we agree on more complex issues that can mar or make destiny?

Even if my parents were to be a multi-billionaire, I still wouldn't subscribe to frivolity as the money can be better spent to touch lives and destiny than merriment that profits little.

snazzylove: Now that we are married, I haven't really stopped snooping, he doesn't even know I do that. Its a habit for me though. He does not even safe guard his phone like most men do, we are free with each other, he takes my calls I take his, we talk, a lot, we talk about our, feelings for each other, our $ex life etc. He once asked me if I've ever taught of cheating on him.
Little foxes spoil the vine. Your husband will be disappointed the day he discovers you still snoop around his phone looking for evidence of infidelity.

Going by what you've written about him, he has not given you any reason to doubt his fidelity, I see no reason why snooping is necessary.

How will you feel if you discover your husband nurses silent suspicion of infidelity against you all these years?

You have a great husband, stop the secret snooping of his communications. That to me is paranoia.
