Jonathan’ll hand over to Igbo –Ezeife

As power brokers across the country make subtle moves ahead of the 2015 presidential election, former governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has said President Goodluck Jonathan would hand over to a candidate from the South East zone.

This conclusion came even as he dismissed the clamour to recapture power by the North, saying that the ethnic bloc should forget their ambition for now until the South East enjoys its share of the nation’s presidential power equation.
He revealed that though the South East at no point reached an agreement with Jonathan on the succession issue, but the understanding between the President and Ndigbo is that one of their own should succeed him.

Speaking with Sunday Sun on phone, he said people of the zone had always made it clear to Jonathan that a candidate from the zone would succeed him when he leaves office. According to him, the understanding is that by the time Jonathan had exhausted his mandate, he would support the idea of an Igbo man becoming the next president of Nigeria.

“At every opportunity with Jonathan, Ndigbo have made it clear that anyt ime he completes his constitutionally guaranteed tenure, it would now be the turn of the South East,” he said. He, however, noted that the South East was not in a hurry to see Jonathan out of power, but would continue to support him until he completes his tenure.“I repeat what I said before, that the Igbo would succeed President Jonathan whenever he leaves office, but we are not in a hurry to hound him out of office.

“We have given Jonathan our total support, but we have always made it clear that after his tenure, it would now be the turn of the South East,” he said. The former governor also noted that the president has the constitutional right to run for a second term and recalled that some of his predecessors enjoyed similar opportunities in office. He said apart from the South East, all other geo-political zones have ruled Nigeria, lamenting that the short tenure of Gen Aguiyi Ironsi was mired in violence.

“The North should forget the presidency until the South East zone has enjoyed its turn. Out of the over 50 years of Nigeria’s independence, the North ruled for about 38 years.

“The North knows that they should reorganize themselves.”

MOBBDEEP:
PREAMBLE :
I had a sweet European 2002 Honda Accord 1.8Ltr Sport iVTEC which I didn't enjoy much because it was completely totalled in a ghastly RTA the 1st time I drove it for a long-distance journey in June, 2014.
I was hit by a sand-ferrying lorry just as I entered into Calabar from Uyo.
Car was sold as a scrap at a great loss at a scrap-value of 50K.
This is a car I bought for 900K aside the purchase of additional 4 brand new tyres (42K) & 4 grade A Toks alloy rims (30K).
The Catalytic-converter was replaced at 18K & I did a comprehensive/detailed servicing going to almost 70K with replacement of all clutch-plates, brakes pads, 4 brand new OEM spark plugs, new 12-cell battery et cetera.
The pre-order brouhaha this Honda gave me before I took the delivery was a story for another day.
I paid for it in February 2013 but I didn't get the car until November 2013.
Funny enough, I didn't use the car because my house was close to the working place and I'm the type that doesn't want you to know I have a car.
I can be quite secretive.

TRICKED :
Because I was made to believe living in Calabar as a Civil-Servant without an owned means of transportation could be hell due to its heavy-rainy weather, I decided to promptly get another car.
That's how I landed in the almighty hand of Mr Ademola aka Triple-A who conned me of 550K in the name of a pre-ordering a 2002 Volvo V40 from COPART in June 2014.
He's yet to refund my cash.

PRE-ORDER WEEK 1 ( NOV 17 - 23 ) :
Then, on Monday Nov 17 2014, I saw on the "Point & Kill" thread of Mr Kakakibuy in Auto-section of Nairaland this particular BMW, precisely on page 9 of that lovely thread, whose beauty caught my attention.
I PM-ed him about it and I signified my interest.
Value written on the thread was 1.3M
He sent me a link to get full details about the car & I got hooked completely.
Details were:
* A 2004 BMW 320i Sedan of the Exclusive Trim with 5-speed Steptronic ( Auto-manual ) Transmission.
* One previous owner of user with 190,000km (~119,000miles) mileage.
* Well maintained with Full Service History.
* Alloy Rims.
* MP3 Interface.
* Multi-functional Steering Wheel.
* Xenon headlights with Fog-lamps.
* Navigation System.
* Sparkling dark Metallic-Blue color.
* Full-Velour seats.
* Rear parking sensors.
* Child isofix points.
* Electric heated seats.
* Loads of more bells, whistles, gadgets, buttons & toys.

SETBACK :
On Wed Nov 19, at the point of deciding to pay, I asked Kakakibuy if there were no other costs that I would be required to pay.
There & then, he told me he need to confirm from ADEXFEM the exact clearing cost/duty fee.
That 1M will put the car on the ship on sail to Nigeria & the balance of supposed 300K would clear it.
However, unfortunately, he reported back to me that ADEXFEM said the clearing cost is 370K.
He urged me to source for my own Clearing, Freight & Forwarding agent if I think 370K is too much, though he prefers ADEXFEM because of the previous dealings they have had together.
I started contacting the Clearing Agents on Nairaland but all the quotes I got were far higher than 370K.
The closest was 400K.
Many were quoting 500K because I was made to realize that BMWs are on premium/reserve list of Nigerian Customs. Hence, it attracts relatively higher pricey custom duty & clearing cost.
I wasted 3 days begging Kakakibuy to adjust price from the calculated 1.37M in order to accommodate my budgeted 1.3M.
He made me realize that the car was priced at 3,590Euros aside his Automobile-Technician's fee, his Europe-based manager's fee, logistic cost e.g mailing of Bill of Lading to Nigeria, trucking of car to dock et cetera.
That if not for a trade-discount offer he had from the dealer, with whom he has had previous dealings, he won't even attempt it.
He offered me other excellent close alternatives of similar BMWs which could accommodate my 1.3M budget but my mind was already sold on this.
I whatsapped him on Thursday 20th that I can add additional 50K to make 1.35M and nothing more.
Then he did the most amazing for me.
He decided to take 980K from me with the remaining 370K to go to ADEXFEM for its clearing.
On Friday Nov 21, having requested his Account details, he took a very dangerous risk of using his money to purchase the car from Germany without getting alerts of my payment nor confirmation message that I have paid. He reportedly took that risk because the offered discount was supposedly ending that Friday Nov 21 & he didn't want me to lose it.
I actually paid the 980K on the day Nov 21 though it didn't drop until the following Monday Nov 24.
Car was reportedly inspected by his Automobile-Technician on same day (Nov 21) with his Belgian-resident manager and was driven from Germany to Belgium over 300km.

PRE-ORDER WEEK 2 ( NOV 24 - 30 ) :
On Wednesday Nov 26, car was reportedly transported & delivered to the Port of Antwerp in Belgium.

PRE-ORDER WEEK 3 ( DEC 1 - 7 ) :
Between Dec 1-3, the car was reportedly loaded on the next available vessel to ply the NorthEurope-WestAfrica route on the Grimaldi line which is Grande Sierra Leone 0914 (GSL 0914).
On Dec 5, KAKAKIBUY called me that he has my car's Bill of Lading BOL & requesting if I would still want it to be courier-ed to ADEXFEM (his preferred choice) or any other Clearing Agent of my choice.
I simply told him ADEXFEM was still my choice.

PRE-ORDER WEEK 4 ( DEC 8 - 14 ) :
On Dec 10, ADEXFEM communicated with me affirming the delivery & receipt of the BOL.
On Dec 11, I wired electronically 403K Naira to ADEXFEM with the said 370K being for the car clearing & the remaining 33K for Complete Lagos Paper works, documentation & registration of the car ( this was minus the cost of the usual fake 3rd-party insurance because I wanted to take a Comprehensive Auto Insurance ).
Then, I started tracking the vessel myself as it sailed the ocean.

PRE-ORDER WEEK 5 ( DEC 15 - 21 ) :
On Dec 18 at 6pm, GSL 0914 berthed at Tincan Island Port of Lagos 3 days behind the proposed initial schedule of Dec 14/15.

PRE-ORDER WEEK 6 ( DEC 22 - 28 ) :
Clearing could not be done completely until Dec 22 supposedly because of the Port's worker End-of-Year activities.
Saw the car on Dec 23 & was awed beyond description.
Took delivery of the car on Dec 24 with all papers & drove down to Owerri to continue to Calabar when the charged atmosphere of her carnival has ebbed.
Car performed beyond expectation. It was as if new.
I haven't done anything in the car except fix the Lagos Registration Plates.
Used about 40L of fuel from Lagos to Imo State ( a distance spanning more than 500km ) with intermittent AC use & my poor driving skills having not touched a car since I had accident in June 2014.
Papers were so complete that, at all the check-points where I was stopped by Customs & Nigerian Police Force, they couldn't hold anything against me after rifling through the documents other than asking me to celebrate the car with them.

ASSESSMENTS

KAKAKIBUY :
* Excellent personality & business-acumen. Top-notch.
* Very courteous & polite on phone.
* Constantly gives you feedback & updates.
Eventhough I restricted my communication means with him to Whatsapp, he won't hesitate to call you.
* Fast & speedy service. Got my car to the port within 1week of payment.
* He's trustworthy, reliable & dependable. Why do I say so? I'm not throwing words nor praise-singing. People who know me know that I'm not given to flattery nor unnecessary adulation. In fact, I'm very HARD/DIFFICULT to impress.
I had this fear of not getting the car before 2014 ends which was why I didn't use Issfat ( another excellent Pre-order mistress & car-dealer on Nairaland. You can search her ) because she was unsure of delivering before Dec 31 though she was getting the car from USA or Canada. This was 1 week before I met KAKAKIBUY.
I was taken aback when KAKAKIBUY, not only promised to deliver before Dec 31, but avowed to fulfill my earnest desire of getting it before Dec 25. And he did just that exactly the way he promised.

CAR ( ASIDE THE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES LISTED UP ) :
* Very clean ( as if new ).
* Manufactured in September 2004 despite VIN of WBAEV11080KK79971 which misled me to think the car was made in 2000 because of the 10th digit which is 0.
* Mileage was already 208,000km instead of the 190,000km advertised.
* Almost new tires on 4 beautiful alloy rims ( 2012 Michelin Primacy All seasons Performance tyres ).
* 6 CD changer & DVD/Navigation player ( yet to figure out where the MP3 interface is ).
* Ice-freezing cold AC.
* All gadgets & electronics working perfectly.
* 2 keys ( almost new-looking ) + 1 valet key.
* Powered Moon-roof
* Engine bay completely new ( thought they installed new engine if not for the VIN which was same as advertised ).
* Has its own array/collection of technician/engineering tools, Fire Extinguisher & C-caution triangular etc.
* Manual was completely in German/Dutch Lang. I had to download online the English manual.
* No evidence of the Wharf-rats activities on the car through-out the 5 days it spent on the port/terminal.
* In fact, the car was excellent scoring 10 on scale of 10.
I'll upload the Naija pictures on Sunday when I have enough data subscription.

ADEXFEM :
* A perfect partner to KAKAKIBUY.
* Very polite on phone too.
* Fair price.
No other offered price was better than 370K of his, except a young man who contacted me via Nairaland PM lobbying that I give the deal to his Clearing-Agent friend at a quoted price of 350K & use it to help him. But, by then, the BOL was already on its way to ADEXFEM, ADEXFEM was recommended by KAKAKIBUY himself & the price difference was just 20K.
Then, I reasoned that unnecessary frugality can be disastrous sometimes.

At the young man, if you are reading this piece, please Sir, don't be angry.
I have your contact details already. I would use or recommend you in the nearest future.

CONCLUSION & SUBMISSION :

KAKAKIBUY is a genuine experienced car-dealer & maestro of pre-order.
He's mastered the art. It seemed as if he took his time to know the nitty-gritty of the trade, judging from the smoothness & ease with which he operated & how the process flowed.
He works with a team of experts both home-based & abroad e.g automobile-technicians, logistics managers, drivers etc.
He uses a seasoned & experienced Clearing + Forwarding Agent whose price is quite very affordable (ADEXFEM).
He knows a lot of German auto-dealers. You may start asking yourself how this is of benefit to you. It is because they may give him a trade-discount as a result of the trust & relationship they have, which you can ultimately take advantage of.
My car cost 3590 Euros with the dealer, which meant that, if not for the trade-discount given to KAKAKIBUY, the cost to put it on ship would have been close to 1.2M.
I'm sure KAKAKIBUY may not like all these info I'm giving but he should please bear with me. It's my life. I'm very plain, sincere & loathe half-truth.
Let me spill everything so that others can learn.
In same vein, I want to believe ADEXFEM gave the last quote of 370K clearing-fee because of the existing relationship between him & KAKAKIBUY, and because KAKAKIBUY was the one that contacted him on my behalf as if he was the one shipping the car. I reasoned that if I had contacted ADEXFEM directly myself to request for the clearing cost, his quoted prices would have been in the range of 400-500K or more.
KAKAKIBUY's service is excellent & speedy. My whole pre-order from the day I paid to when it was cleared was 31days i.e Nov 21 - Dec 22.
He's successfully pre-ordered for more than 3 people on this Nairaland that I know e.g Joker, Tayosmatt etc
He would get you an excellent top-notch car without breaking your bank account/savings.
The Beemer landing cost was 1.35M and, honestly speaking, that car is worth more than 1.8M.
There is a current advert thread in the Auto-section where 3 similar but less rated/loaded car are offered at 1.7M. Mind you that I'm not saying those cars are overpriced.
Honestly, I pitied him at a time because he spent much on Logistics.
That's why I don't believe him saying I put smile on his face. It was the other way round. I don't think he made any significant gain on me.
I paid him a Friday & our current foreign exchange index slid the next Monday before he could convert the fund which was a loss to him. He never complained about it.
He's too professional, & trust me on this, he would wear you out with his frequent/constant communication & updates.
He's very very patient. I know this because, at times, I can be intolerably indecisive, terribly niggardly, worrisomely fixated on a particular thing/choice & can be naggingly impatient.
And to be self-righteous, I exhibited all these nasty traits with him, but never did he respond in any negative manner. No show of pride.
It was as if he took training courses in Management & Behavioral Science.
It's indeed a "point & kill" experience for me.
I pointed & killed a modest but worthy fish.

My fear is that he won't change in the future, but rather, wax more stronger & higher doing what he knows how to do best i.e putting generous sincere smiles on clients' faces.
For the 2nd time in my life & for a longwhile, I acknowledgedly & consciously smiled to myself & I thanked God.
Don't worry, I will tell you the 1st time. It was in April 2003 when it dawned on me then that I had been given admission into University of Ibadan to study Human Medicine & Surgery having spent 3 years at my hostile home seeking admission without any helper or known resource-person except God.

I recommend him to everyone hoping to get an excellent car at an affordable price.
Oga KAKAKIBUY, thank you very very much.
Words, either written or spoken, can't describe nor fully express my profound gratitude & appreciation.
I promise you loads of clients.
One is already with you waiting for 2015 to set in.
I'll proclaim you among my colleagues like the Gospel!!!
Please, kindly don't change for bad.
Don't let greed creep in. It will destroy you.
Slow but steady wins race. It unequivocally builds lasting wealth.
I'll also implore you to get enough sleep & rest.
You are too hardworking & you don't sleep. It won't be nice if you start using the wealth to tend to ill-health in your middle-age when you are supposed to be enjoying the reward of your hard-work.
Thank you once again.

Oga ADEXFEM Sir, thank you too.
Sai Sir!!!!

And to all, thank you all for reading.
Don't forget to get a car through KAKAKIBUY.
He's tested, trusted & in the distinguished league of his own. No one comes close that I know off.

Lastly, if not for our poor & downtrodden economy, affordable cars should be a necessity for all & the cost of owning one should be easy.
No thanks to what our politicians cum devourers have turned it into.
But it's not yet completely over.
There's a man who's been vehement on his idea of correcting the ills of our nation.
This man can make good things of life affordable for majority by executing/implementing sound policies while stamping-out corruption.
Let's give him a chance by voting for him.
He's no other person than GMB.
Please, kindly take note that I'm not a politician nor a campaigner.
Thank you all.

the committee is also saddled with reviewing and making preliminary assessment of the balance sheet of government with particular emphasis on the status of assets and liabilities of government; cash flow position of the government; quantum of public domestic and external debt of government and their deployment; government’s out-standing contractual obligations and its ability to meet such obligations and the status of implementation of capital projects.

Looking at this extracted part of the committee's term of reference, it's very obvious why the Jonathan Administration is not comfortable with the terms of reference. They are scared all of a sudden that the committee is about to find out the true financial position of the federal government. And again, the committees findings will prevent any last minute perfection of documents or cover up. It's really game over for the GEJ government.

To stampede the jonathan administration out of ofifce.....na cattle dem be?i no fit laugh

deletrue:
For those of you who thinks what is happening is a child play should watch it. Whatever apc is looking for willl be provided by someone else for this government and not GEJ. Whether you described it visitors, whether you call it, whatever name or description, Buhari can still tell those visitors to wait a little. There are ways things are done. No body will benefits if GEJ had refuse to go. At the end, many things will go wrong. Many people will die. Why has Buhari allowed and take all these actions, while there is an existing president? Buhari is about to be swon in within four weeks. Those visits can only be approved after series of exchange of letters, phone calls etc. Why can't Buhari ask those people to wait. What is this rush for.
Am sure whatever, this Buhari is looking for will be giving to him but not by GEJ. Some one else or something will answer him. Everything that has to do that relates to official functions should wait. He has won. He has four years he may not even complete because of his dead body system. Again, why this rush?

If he said make ambassadors,oyinbo,sycopants like artur eze no visit am again una go say he be arrogant,dictator,ingrate,unfrdly just as he told AIT make dem no harrass him family again,bringing back painful memory of d death.wetin una want make him do,by d way who giv min.of nat.planning d authority 2 speak 4 GEJ?

Press statement from the PDP on AIT ban, which the APC has since lifted..
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as unacceptable the Monday’s directive by the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to bar a television house, the AIT, from covering his activities, saying the suppression of the media under any guise portends danger for the nation’s democracy.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Tuesday said that after carefully studying the defence posited by General Buhari’s campaign spokesperson as well as the smokescreen statement by the APC to cover and mitigate his anti-media posture, the PDP and indeed all lovers of democracy are persuaded that the action was not only unjustifiable, but also unconstitutional and completely against the spirit of liberty and the rule of law in a democracy.

He said “the PDP as a party that have nurtured the nation’s democracy in the past 16 years cannot afford to fold its hands and watch the constitutional rights, media freedom and personal liberty of Nigerians, the basic tenets of democracy being demolished.

“We ask, is this a beginning of the feared erosion of the freedom and personal liberty the media and Nigerian citizens have been enjoying in the last 16 years under the PDP led-administration? Has our dear nation finally fallen into the clutches of totalitarianism and impunity where government actions will based on egocentric decisions and impulses of individuals rather than the rule of law?

“While we assure the President-elect of our resolve to run a mature and responsible opposition based on issues, we are disturbed by this emerging development and reassure the Nigerian people that we will continue to stand with them on issues of democracy and freedom at all times.

“Perhaps, we need to remind General Buhari that part of the challenge of his new position, even as President-elect is that he has lost his private life which is now subject to public scrutiny and media interrogation, as required of the custodian of the mandate of the Nigerian people.

“The PDP is not oblivious of the background of the President-elect especially as it relates to the freedom of the media, but we had thought that having declared to be a converted democrat, he would make himself amenable to the basic principles of democracy by following the due process of the law on any circumstance.

“General Buhari may also wish to be reminded that the Nigerian constitution upon which provisions he emerged President-elect, also gave the media powers to cover activities of public office holders while at the same time providing legal avenues for redress in the event of any violation. If the right of the President-elect was in anyway violated by the AIT or any media house for that matter, he is expected to act within the law and seek redress in the courts otherwise one would have no option than to conclude that he is out for personal vendetta.

“The APC and the President-elect may have one or two lessons to pick from President Goodluck Jonathan, who though the most maligned and abused President in the history of our nation, even by the APC, allowed his actions to be sufficiently guided by humility, tolerance and the rule of law”, the PDP said.

The party called on Nigerians not to despair but remain steadfast and unite in resisting any anti-democratic tendencies intended to instill fear in them and set the stage for a dictatorial order and the erosion of their personal freedom and liberty as citizens, which they have been enjoying in the last 16 years under the PDP.
