Nusaf:
Been following your comments on this thread and I quite understand and agree with your analyses but this one doesn't just appeal to me.

A friend wanted to change his car (Toyota Corrola, 05), well maintained. He took it to the dealers. While the dealers where emphasising on the high forex on one hand for the new car he wanted to buy, same dealers were pricing his Corrola Sport for N800k on the account that he had bought it for about N1.5m and used same for about 3 yrs, on the other hand.

Actually, having used a car for that long, its value is expected to depreciate but in the wake of high exchange which is reflected on car prices, why shouldn't consideration be given to same prevailing exchange rate while pricing the registered car?

Meanwhile, a graded tokunbo of same brand hovered around N2.5m.

ademasta:
You are right... We need to know when it started awarding B.Sc in Geography to ascertain where Dino falls according to his graduation in 1998 or 1999

jpworld:
That you ended up giving stupid analysis is not insult.

oruma19:
this ur yeye one sided analysis. I suppose u r one of the useless marketers killing d system. What about the goods u stocked when dollar was still below #200? Wicked people who jus take laws into their hands and make Nigeria suffer unduly. Did u consider 2 months space before changing thr prices of old goods u already imported during the crises?I pity all of u cos u won't even enjoy the so called "windfall". now ,dollar has come crashing, offset ur debt by using the windfall u made when dollar was scarce and u sold ur goods at triple the price. Eranwe.

jpworld:
After good analysis, then you end up sounding very stupi.d

If he bought the highlander 3years ago,@ the dollar rate then and you expect him to sell it off below the current market rate, dont you think he need to buy ticket that probably most have been inflated also, and wont him buy dollar as a BTA.

wristbangle:
U are right because sometimes I wonder why a Benz E320 of 05/06/07 model will be cheaper to corolla of 04 model? Definitely it must be law of demand and supply. Don't see the fancy/crave for corolla sef.

ismokeweed:
Please what are the cheaper alternatives? You know we have to consider maintenance due to our death traps called roads. Was thinking of mazda or nissan but wss warned not to try it.

DrOBD:
Sir, you didn't complete scenario number 2.
If that same man bought a car at 520k in Nigeria which was 1000 USD last month, and he sells that car at 400k, he will have excess of 20k and can buy that same car again at 1000 USD, because 1000 USD today is 380 Naira to a dollar. Who is fooling who.

sekem:
Warped logic

Yesn, I expect him to sell

Why?

Because If he doesnt sell now, another dealer who is ready to sell at the prevailing market price will be smiling to the bank instead

If you dont know that sometimes in business, you just have to cut your losses, then you aint a smart businessman afterall...

SIMEONMPEE:
Especially those that are selling used car.. which they have used for more than 2, 3, 4, 5 years... I was so shock seeing Toyota highlander used 2003 to 2005 selling for 2. 3m to 2. 8m

Most of those car are bought far lesser than the price they want to sell now

I swear na we Nigeria they do ourselves

greedy

miraclea:
How long does it takes a ship to travel from the us to Nigeria and for you to think dollar crashed at 390 400 DAT to me is not crashing and may not affect the auto market its not beureu de exchange market have you forgotten custom increased their duty b4 the increase many factors determines that hop dollar comes back to where it was b4 we might attempt to answer this question for now its a no go area

oruma19:
taaaaa!!! Nigerians are the enemies of Nigeria. If there's a problem, it doesn't take a second to hike prices, when things are returning to normal now, Nigerian traders who are the devil's will refuse to do the corresponding change in prices of goods and services. Tell me who us now to blame . If u go to buy something from the mkt, the sellers first make calls to either lagos or Onitsha to knw if prices have changed. What sort of a country is dis? Now that dollar is crashing, u may not believe me some pple are not happy. U can imagine ..

adanny01:
alumni.abu.edu.ng is not connecting again. Is ABU trying to tamper with the site?

Delphi:
If I were Dino, I will just present a scanned copy of my certificate for the world to see and thus shame S.R.

TGM2015:
Thank you, as posted in the provided link, I was able to find 2 of the names. Hence, the OP cannot be ignored only that we can not rely on the site FOR NOW to conclude that Dino did not graduate from ABU as we can not also verified if the listed names (as you have posted) genuinely graduated from the University.

engineerboat:

TGM2015:
Please check very well using their first name or last name, I was able to find the two below names and you might also need to consider some that might have changed names like Hon Esther.
1. Alhaji (Marafa Sadiq) Diggi - BSc 1977
2. Gaza Lazarus Saka - MSc

NgeneUkwenu:
Why do ipob miscreants adopt anybody accused of corruption irrespective of his/her geographical locations?

soberdrunk:
.............i wonder what the 'commander-in-chief' was doing when all this was going on..........

Ps-Sometimes i wonder how the mind of a typical Nigerian works, how can you deprive so many people of what is rightfully theirs and wallow in 'extreme' luxury? I remember the biggest amount i stole from my mum as a teenager was 5k and although it was quite a huge sum back then, my conscience didnt allow me enjoy the money

GAZZUZZ:
1GR-FE Aluminum Block, aluminum head.

Car came in without any engine compression. Possible history of sever over heating.

Head cylinder resurface, valve grind,valve seal replacement, head gasket replacement, coil pack replacement water pump replacement. That should have solved the problem if there were no cracks on the cylinder or block.

Presently you have misfires on a couple of cylinders, you have timing marks that are off by a couple of degrees, you have coil packs that are shorting out voltage.

My advice start again from the beginning.


Go back to what you should have done, but this time ensure that he who does it, knows what he is doing.
