If you share your car with someone else, wife, fried, mom; make sure you triple check all fluids.

1. He is Ikwerre not Ibo

2. You should have written "...that's worth..." instead.

This is the only Ibo man


... that worths my freaking vote if i was to consider them(which i doubt)

A forum is definitely NOT the way to go. The moment people start debating, arguing will follow and the goal will be lost.

This email method could be anonymous and there'd be no need for arguing and quarrelling.

9jatriot:
Nigerians are experts at complaining o not at solving problems.

I will consider a robust solution to send later on so that I do not join the bandwagon. This is a nice initiative from the minister but I think it would have been better if he had created a forum where people can post ideas and debate such ideas, that way he would help from both sides.

1. Tax/customs relief to importers and operators of big buses, e.g: yellow school buses. 1 big yellow bus (72) = 5 Hiace minibuses (14) = 18 taxis (4) = 12 keke buses (8 ) = 24 keke napeps (3) = 72 okadas (1). This will MASSIVELY decongest the roads.

2. Trains. Trains. Trains. Most cost effective and energy efficient form of transport.

3. States and cities should be able to run their own coaches on federal lines. This should decongest major cities.

4. Construction MUST be 24/7 with 3 shifts. This will shorten delivery time and increase employment plus reduce costly delays.

5. Trailers (Dangote & co) should be re-routed from intra-city roads between 6 am and 6 pm.

6. Customs duty incentive to land containers destined for the SE/SS in the SE/SS.

7. Tax relief to operators of inland waterway shipping lines

8. Tax incentive to set up scenic canal ferry lines in major cities: Lagos, Port Harcourt, etc.

These are some ideas which, if economically viable, will definitely improve our transportation experience across Nigeria.

This is a lie. The head of the NAIDC (Nigeria Automotive something something) is from the north.

tex73:
If it were Dangote lor someone from the North, all importation of cars would've been baned. Thats how he became a billionaire. All policies were made to favor him and r still made to favor him and the northern elites .

Even in the abroad that he is talking about, almost nobody buys new cars with cash. Everybody pay gradually over 5-10 years, most times at zero (0) percent interest.

scudmiz:
Look into your marketing strategy. Many middle level Nigerians are ready to get the cars on loan to be repaid over 5 - 6 years when linked with their banks or pension fund collectors. Nigerians will support this laudable project if it is made affordable to them. I believe that the quality of the cars meet or better the tokunbo cars.

When the automotive policy was started, a Toyota Yaris sold for 2 million only and a Hyundai Santa Fe sold for 2 million Naira only. Now, used vehicles of that year (2010) sell for the same price.

Nigeria has 200 million people but only 10 million cars.
Nigeria had high unemployment.
Nigeria's official government minimum wage is 18,000.
Only 10% of families earn $10,000 annually.
Many people are paid N10,000 or less monthly.
We don't have free education for all.
We don't have free healthcare for all.

The automotive industry will ban virtually all used car imports. Note that new cars sell for minimum 6 million Naira. Some can go up to 30 million for Hilux or Prado.

The Automotive Policy as it is is unfit for purpose. Even Innoson who said he was working on producing new cars that will come out at 2 million Naira can't sell cars for less than 6 million. I know he said this before now when 1 USD was ~ 200 NGN.

They should proscribe that government and big companies should buy new cars from local assemblers. If they want to ban anything, they should ban the importation of brand new cars.

How will such a ban work with the new AfCTA Note that if we ban be cars assembled in Africa, Nigerian assembled cars will also be banned or tariffed to the throat.

This wailing by Coscharis is not going to help the average Nigerian.

Reference:
As we shun industrialization we get poorer and poorer and the gap between us and what other progressive nations make will continue to widen. So we can sit our lazy asses down and do nothing but whine that we cannot afford what we should make. Very soon the world willrun out of cou tries that can make stuff we need and we will be left at the bottom of the ladder or at the base of the table eating the leftovers of the world.

We are not even ashamed to admit we prefer to buy used stuff. We gleefully defend it at the expense of our prosperity. I am not saying it is a crime to buy used but it is a shame to make it a way of life, of thinking, of hope and of the future just as begging is not crime until it becomes a way of life.

Boy we have no leadership. No one to inspire and inject national pride into a people and wake them from the slumber of hopelessness. All we have are leaders of deceit who paint rosy pictures in the daytime and join us to rest under the bridge in the wee hours of the night when no one is watching. Hapless nation.

If I were to be president in this situation today I will be on speed dial with every major industrialist in Nigeria and I will want to know their thinking and positive moves even before they imagine them.

Look at the issue well.

The auto policy prescribes banning virtually all car imports outright. If you think cars are expensive now, wait until they ban cheaper used car imports.

What government should do is buy and encourage companies to only buy new cars that are assembled locally. They could ban large scale imports of NEW cars but leave used cars for the masses.

Someone tried to kill himself because life is too hard so the solution is to....make life even harder by sending him to prison??

Fornicate with your wife not your side chick. Many wives are sexually depressed yet their husbands are breaking their backs on expensive side pieces.

Not full grown human but babies and toddlers yes.

Destined2win:
Thank God it was a turkey. That size can swallow a human

First of all, it's "I'm" not "am".

Second of all, she dey make sense.

Why man go cheat and go expect in wife to dey cry.

Dullards.

Make all of them cheat together na. Make dem join the swinging lifestyle.

Il n'y a aucune crime ici. La fille est plus agée que lui.

Voici les problemes avec les Nigerians. I l ne fait pas cette "erreure" une fois, deux fois ou dix fois.

Toi, monsieur est partie du probleme.

MoonWater:
make this matter rest abeg... The guy has been apprehended, fine. He might have made his mistake, let everyone move on.
There is large scale fraud going on under your nose here in Nigeria no one is bothering about

It should be possible for a minor to be represented without the consent of her guardians in the national interest.

Why was this a private case?

Why wasn't the state Directorate of Public Prosecution handling the case?

Well, I guess this is statutory rape so police should be involved.

Some Nigerians can be very distant. They'll prefer to "pray" for you or advise you. Especially family. Only true friends can go all out to get positive results.

dfrost:


And nobody was close to her to pull her out of depression?

And you had the time to tell the story but never had time to spend with her and help her?

Covenant is not a government university and is a for profit venture.

Notwithstanding, a Covenant degree is respected. People believe that you can defend your certificate and that you did not do any sorting.

If you are lower middle class and can afford it, I suggest you try because the company you keep there can take you places.

Marriage alone...

Reminds me of the song: "if you work hard at it, you can be anything"

He has finally seen the light

I meant funny as it's not true.

OLAADEGBU:
What is funny about it?

1. Good on her for responding calmly and thoughtfully.
2. She may actually like the guy from the write-up
3. OP should move on.
4. The girl is clearly looking for someone to be dependent on.

They're not all the same. I've recently been caught by the love bug so I'm a bit biased.

Is corruption, kidnapping, extra-judicial murder not moral decay or is morality only linked to sex?

nabegibeg:
It is a secular state does mean the country should wallow in moral decay

When I had an accident with GIGM, the customer service was top-notch. Even when I used The Young, they tried.

I was about searching for a bus and opened PMT as well as the others. Clearly won't be considering them anymore.

Explain

nicepoker101:
We practice presidential system of government. Why do we have ministers?

Isn't there a zoo in Akwa Ibom? I never even knew of this animal and now one is dead.

And apparently, it produces civetone, a rare, expensive and useful ingredient in the perfume industry.

People are mad. Don't love her because she's a single mom. Don't love her because she's beautiful or just because you guys have good sex.

Can you build a future with her? Answer honestly. Is she working/business? Do you guys have a connection? Do you trust her with your life?

Don't follow konjified, single Nairaland guys to make stupid decisions.

He should marry the person he enjoys spending time with.

If you can condition your mind to like a specific trait, you can recondition or uncondition same mind

Fountainofyouth:
...if I like a tall guy, it is a preference and I will condition my mind to be have an attraction for anyone tall and there is nothing wrong with that.....

Are these women the ideal women of their ideal men?? Some get but either an equal or lower number don't get.

Fountainofyouth:
Pls don't make people think their ideal kind of man will not be available for them, some got him or her and their marriage is working well.

Lol. I believe we have found the devil guys

devlishGINGER:
I agree with you.
Me and my girlfriend has been dating for the last 19 years
