PoliticsWhat Exactly Is Wrong With Our Government? by blackmann(op): 10:01am On Sep 05, 2012
[b]Things going on in this country are not favourable and nothing good to write home about. Is it that our leaders have no idea about how to lead? Everyone in the country today knows it is getting harder and harder everyday to live. The recent economic issues brings more suffering to the already suffering masses.

Take the case of the new insistence of the FG to introduce the controverial 5000 naira notes. Don't these people think at all? These are the same people who are trying to introduce a cashless economy, but yet they insist on introducing another high-denomination bill into our currency, giving excuses that it will be only available for the high-spending calibre of the society, and that it will discourage people from using the dollar to loot. To me, it is just another way of increasing the amount of money being stolen by these so-called leaders. dont these people ever reason that if higher denominations are introduced, the lower denominations suffer? where are our 50kobo and 1 naira today? very soon 5 naira, 10 naira and even 20 naira will be phased out(knowing nigerians for who we are, who will want to carry bulky 20 naira coins around), and things which are 20 naira now will increase to fifty naira, and with respect to all our garri lovers on nairaland, it will DEFINITELY increase the price of garri in the market.

Another issue is this eccessant fuel strikes here and there. Any small thing, u will begin to see fuel queues in the streets. it seems these fuel importers and fuel marketers have the government by the jugular, knowing that if the govt doesn't bow to their demands, all they need to do is to declare a strike and havoc ensues.

the issue of security is a totally different matter which i will not go into. everyone knows what's going on in that area.

It seems the governmetn have no idea how to handle the issues plaguing the country's economy. are these people weak? are they clueless? what is actually wrong? ur views are welcome.
the issue of security is[/b]

Car TalkRe: How Do I Register (Plate Number) My Car? by blackmann(m): 1:38pm On Jun 19, 2012
stagger: Number plates are not being issued in the FCT because of the reduction of the cost from N45,000 to N8,400. Better go to Nasarawa state for your plates.
This was way before the plates were reduced. it had to do with some people producing fake number plates in abuja. thats why they initially stopped. the problem of reduction of the cost came afterwards.

Guy if u know u want to drive tht ur car without any hassles from these yeye numerous traffic agents, please do not go for an FCT number for now. just get ur lagos plate jeje. i applied for an abuja number plate for a RAV4 i brought into the country since February and up till now, na story dem dey yarn at the VIO office. numbers are not being issued in abuja for now and there is no assurred time they will start again. to refund the money of those who have already paid is now another problem for them too. i don tell them in that vio office that if any vio officer dares try to pull me over for driving without a number plate, i will run him over. bunch of losers.

HealthRe: Member Feese Survived The UN Building Bomb Blast. Her Story: by blackmann(m): 8:58am On May 10, 2012
All of u that are making noise about her name, may God forgive u all. This is a person who survived a serious event. What about those who did not make it? What do u say about them? Dr Dede, Yemi, Francis, the Norwegian lady, what about them? And here u all are questioning the lady's name. What about those who are scarred and remember the day vividly? My dad was in the building that day. In fact he was in the conference room directly above the spot where the bomb was detonated. All those people I mentioned were in the same room with him. He survived the bombing but a few months later we got to know he had an injury in his brain that was bleeding and putting pressure on his brain. He had to undergo two surgeries here in Nigeria and one in South Africa and months of rehabilitation before he came back to his normal self. Yet he is one of the lucky ones, and one of those who had the least amount of injuries. He is not different from those that died that day, they were breadwinners like he is, but yet he survived and we give thanks for that. Even a few of those that survived the blast that dayndied later. So those here that are questioning the story should be a little bit more sensitive and respectful please. It has and will forever remain a scar on so many lives that were affected that day, both the survivors and those that died and the ones they left behind.

Car TalkRe: The Implications Of Buying A Vehicle With High Odometer Reading? by blackmann(m): 6:48pm On Nov 02, 2011
[b]Salvaged cars are more of a 50-50 thing, but one must "shine your eye well" when dealing with such.

of course they are much cheaper than the regular ones, but if you are very smart and know what to look for, you will definitely get one that needs just very minor repairs and with very low mileage. it is just the same as when someone has an accident with his car in nigeria and you decide to repair it. won't you still use it after repairs?

the last car i used before i left nigeria was salvaged, and it served me very well for two years before i gave it to my younger brother. when looking to buy a salvaged car, here are a couple of things you should watch out for -

1. make sure it is not a head-on collision as this might affect the radiator and AC Condenser.
2. Even if it is head on, make sure the Air-bags have not been deployed. this is a no-go area when dealing with salvage vehicles.
3. make sure the car is not a flood vehicle. u might be lucky in this case, but more often than not electrical issues occur in flood vehicles.
4. always look out for cars with minor damages (bumper, not-too serious looking rear-ending, things that can easily be replaced).
5. ALWAYS make sure the car RUNS and DRIVES. it is usually stated there on the vehicle on the auction websites.
6. Make sure all the wheels are intact i.e no form of upper arm, suspension, etc damage. this refers to no. 5 above.
7. atimes thesecars can have frame damage. this can be seen by the doors not aligning properly, having to slam the doors etc before closing.

Salvaged vehicles are usually a game of luck, but if you know what to look for and what to avoid, you can get a very good one. all you will just need to do is buy replacement parts, ship them to nigeria or wherever you are, and get a very good mechanic and panel-beater to work on the car. before you know it, it is as good as new and you can then sell the car at a good price, or use it yourself.[/b]

AutosRe: Total Cost Of Clearing A Vehicle In Nigeria by blackmann(m): 6:37pm On Oct 17, 2011
femmy2010:

The shipping line it is coming on would determine the clearing cost.
Do you know the shipping line name yet?

If you have not shipped those vehicles yet and not planning to ship other personal items in the container then i do advice to ship it Roro and on Grimaldi shipping line,that way i can guarantee your vehicle would be delivered as shipped and you would save money on clearing cost.

N650k and N350k would clear the 08 Rav4 and 07 Camry respectively if shipped Roro on Grimaldi shipping line and at "least" N100k more if shipped Roro on any other shipping line.

Call 08036363467 or email duduconsultt@yahoo.com


All you need to present at the licensing office is your Custom papers and the registration of your vehicle would be done for you.
unfortunately i do not know the shipping line yet. i am yet to even load the container itself. i do not want to RORO any of the cars because they belong to customers of mine. the last car i shipped out with RORO in June got tampered with as those port rats removed things like the radio and AC knobs, the Battery, jack and wheel-spanner, and the front logo of the car.
AutosRe: Total Cost Of Clearing A Vehicle In Nigeria by blackmann(m): 5:34pm On Oct 17, 2011
How about a 2007 Toyota Camry and a 2008 toyota RAV4? Both are containerized.

And what sort of things do i need for the registeration of the RAV4? i intend taking both cars to Abuja. The RAV4 has factory tinted glass and the works. what thing do u think i need handy for those crooked policemen on the highway?

I will not condescend to your primitive level of thinking. Imagine the use of the word 'dummy' on someone you know next to nothing about and to think you could even attempt to justify the use of the word 'goat' while talking referring to the President of a country you are supposed to be a citizen further elucidate your primitive nature. I rather save my breath (or fingers) because your case seem to be beyond redemption.
hear the kettle calling the pot black. primitive level of thinking indeed. who is the primitive one if you cannot simply understand what i said after i tried to explain? read the damn thing again and understand the meaning behind the phrase, not the literal meaning of the word "goat". i used the phrase figuratively and not literarily, which to me seems to be your own way of thinking and interpretation of it. try to understand something very well before u decide to castigate someone.

"You can put a tuxedo on a goat. it is still a goat"
meaning - you cannot change the way a man behaves by only changing the way he looks.


Simple as that. if you still cannot understand it, then i'm sorry to say its you that needs redemption, not me.

Foreign AffairsBoy’s $50,000 Hockey Shot Slapped Away - your views by blackmann(op): 6:38pm On Oct 13, 2011
[b]I don't know if this has been treated here before, but here goes. it is a story about honesty (or misplaced luck, u just pick your poison).

for those of you living in the USA, i'm pretty sure you heard about this a few weeks back. a family went to an ice hockey game, and before the game started, people had the chance to win $50000 if they could shoot the puck into a hole not much wider than the puck itself from some 89 feet away. aparently, the name of a young boy was called out and he stepped up to the plate. wham!!! he hit the shot perfectly and to everyone's surprise, he nailed the hole and won!!!

but here is the problem - the little boy who hit the winning shot was actually not the boy whose name was called, but the twin brother. the boy whose name was called (Nick) had actually gone outside with his mum to get a snack, so when the dad heard his name, he sent out his identical twin brother (Nate) to take the shot, and he nailed it. in other words, Nick's name was called out, but Nate made the shot and won.

the dad felt guilty about this and confessed to the whole shenanigan, and after a few days of deliberation, it was decided that the money will not be given to them. the money instead went to charity(on a lighter note, that charity babe is one hell of a lucky and rich girl!!!)

now if any of u were in this scenario, would you give it up just like that? would you present Nate as Nick and pocket the money, hoping that no one finds out, or will you do what this father did?[/b]
