Can you specify the location of Ajman airport...Mr sabinus

Can I specify?

Yes, it is very easy to 'specify'

It is located in Ajman in UAE, just as MMA2 is located in Lagos in Nigeria.

I hope I've answered you question regarding 'specifying'

DelTel:
Without going into "Canada vehicle generally acknowledged problem - Rust" which a dealer will not want to gamble on and wait to encounter like an end-user

However, a business, any business, must consider the following to ascertain profit margin:

- cost of funds (interest rate is what please?)
- location rent
- staff salaries (sales reps, security, admin)
- insurance
- advertisement
- tax (FIRS, state revenue, LGA revenue, agbero)
- profit margin
- etc

Can 10% (or even 20%) can cover for the above, your guess is as good as mine

Your response shows you didn't really understand my post.

I said 10 to 20% after cost price.

Like the example of the car I gave, total cost including 'bribing' etc is ₦5.3m. But similar cars on Jiji starts from ₦6.5m.

Assuming we bought to sell, ₦5.7m to ₦6m would not be bad for a car that cost ₦5.3m

Selling price in business means cost price plus profit margin.

10 to 20% profit is what's added to the cost price, which is more than enough. But most dealers (not only car sales) now capitalize to make close to 50%.

Look at the soaring gas prices. I consult in that industry. If I tell you the profit that gas sellers make on selling 12.5kg gas now, you'll be shocked. Guess what, they'll all come out to tell you, it's the government and that their profit is small blablabla.

It's just business and taking advantage of the system

gulfer:
Nigeria has been ridden roughshod by virtually every country and multinational corporations partly because of the bad name some characters have given us as well as complicity by our government in accepting whatever was thrown at us for so many years.
Small countries with better and stronger foreign diplomacy cannot be trampled by an airline like we've been done by Emirates since prior to coronavirus.
How I wish the government can start putting this sort of pressure on all these indians and Lebanese companies maltreating Nigerians and not just flights because that's all that affects them

I wish they can extend it to foreign nationals that own businesses in Nigeria. The exploitation is too much

blamingthedevil:
Children of 8,who don't understand the topic will still blame Buhari instead of praising him

Why should they?

As I posited, it should have started with Arik Air and Medview, but the government then, under GEJ didn't do much

MelesZenawi:
Buhari is indeed doing great.

Patriotism at its peak by President Buhari.

He made sure Nigeria is given fair share outside.

Emirates will be enjoying red carpet in Nigeria while denying Nigeria airline such in their own country.

Kudos to the minister of aviation.

This fight ought to have started with Arik Air and Medview.

Air Peace is just benefitting now

But come to think of it.

Air Peace can take one slot in Sharjah and take the other two at Ajman.

Ajman to Dubai is like 30-45mins.

Most Northerners/Southerners come into Lagos, then visit MMA2 to board local flights to their final destinations.

UAE has better transportation infrastructure and good buses that can take people from one Emirate to the other

DelTel:
dealers will sell at loss

Forex will also give itself brain

I import quite a number of things and can't tell you that the exaggeration is high.

Yes, exchange rate us high, customs clearing duty is also high, but sellers have also raised prices astronomically taking advantage.

10 to 20% profit margin is not bad after cost price, but what we have now is close to 50% margin if not more.

A relative just brought in a car from Canada

Bought at Auction for $7500 (CAD) * ₦450
Shipping @ ₦600,000
Clearing @₦1,200,000
Total approximately ₦5.2million.

Similar car is advertised on Jiji for ₦6.5m to ₦6.7m

nymphomaniac:
The funny thing is that the person that will buy this car dun position for DM. Before you look now, u go see SOLD

That's the thing.

I'm discussing with a seller for a 2012 CR-V.

The owner brought the car in around 2020 and was asking for ridiculous price.

Now he begging people to pick it up for ₦5m.

The same car he advertised for ₦6.5m last year.

If people give themselves brain and wait, dealers would adjust.

UK placed a heavy quarantine on Nigerians. Imagine that some Nigerians have started traveling and encouraging UK to continue that policy.

When you do sit and wait, things would normalize

phemsie:
I don't want to believe it's the same car o.

Ah! This is really serious.

We need to be truthful to ourselves when it comes to selling. Say it as it is

Airbags would have deployed and fixed back here in Nigeria

How did they know?

Alex report with another award show

Salvofthesouth:
You sound educated but lack critical reasoning. Very typical of many lowlife Nigerians.
They talk without proper research but just mere hearsay.

E go reach everybody no worry.

Your point is what exactly?

Tinubu bolted under Abacha
Kanu bolted under Buhari
Zainab also bolted under Buhari

Equation is balanced

Evergreen4:
Mr Alex reports , Your Baba nla is not on the list

Alex is the one organizing the award na.
So he knows what he's doing

halfbloodprince:
But where is Dr. Maduka?

Alex is organizing award for him

Alex reporter don cum again oo

LegalWolf:
Loool, Ohamidike ko, oha and eba soup ni. Your favourite is NO different from her as HE RAN AWAY from the country when the going got tough. He had to be brought back to face charges. Please spare this bunkum!

The same Kanu that was granted bail and bolted, and Government had to use Commado style to rearrest him? grin

A real commando would wait and not run, only to be rearrested

babyfaceafrica:
Be sitting in your room, be making noise. Government pass anybody

The same Kanu that was granted bail and bolted, and Government had to use Commado style to rearrest him?

A real commando would wait and not run, only to be rearrested

Let me educate a lot of people who are talking nonsense especially those that hate Nigeria.

NCAA is actually fighting Emirates because of Air Peace and I hope my Igbo brothers can appreciate the Nigerian government for supporting Air Peace.

UAE restricted Air Peace to Sharjah instead of allowing Air Peace to land in Dubai and UAE also limited Air Peace to only one flight per week. Hence, Nigerian government got upset and restricted Emirates to one flight too.

Emirates in return is upset and has decided to pull out of Nigeria.

This is a case of Government fighting for it's Citizen.

Igbo people stop criticizing government unnecessarily

Here's a link to Kunle Afolayan's restaurant

Money dey food business especially if you come be celeb

Your fellow Celeb would be promoting you on Social media.

I'm planning on visiting Kunle Afọlayan's Restaurant.

The hype is just too much on his Facebook page

genius43:
Ayoola still do theme songs for movies and TV shows

Yes, but he's better known now as an actor than Musician.

Ebuka, a lawyer is now known more as a TV presenter, MC and show host.

I get your point very well, but I'm looking at their major that made them popular

Ameboperoo:
If you need my hand on installation, message me.
Location is Abuja.
Not free o

Lol.

CRUISETOPIAVP:
Imagine these useless white rats trying to bring Laycon into the conversation when we are talking of how much of a failure white monkey is?

Laycon that already had millions of streams across all platforms for his EP then before he even won BBN..

Is it that you guys are smoking something or what?

Your white idiot is almost invisible on all platforms. Even Efe's start was way better.

In coming yrs, white monkey will be the SI unit of failure for BBN winners. Efe will catch some rest.

Some of these guys on reality shows need better advisers.

If you followed MTN Project Fame back then, Ayoola Ayolola won the 2012 edition.

I think he released just one track since then. But the guy is now doing so well as an actor. Many people forgot he won a music talent show.

DJ Switch started as a musician during the early 2000s when her group won Star QUEST show in early 2000 and they did the Sote remix with Busta Rhymes.

She left singing and became popular as a DJ

Uzomarrr123:
The 600k views on YouTube doesn’t mean 600k peeps Dey enjoy the song

Some of us were just eager to listen the comic song and make mockery of Whitemoney
I bet you those 600k peeps can’t play that song on repeat

It was hard torture listening to Selense by Whitemoney, but I wanted to hear the song having claimed so much hype abt his music career in the house

Currently, even Whitemoney fans dey mock Whitemoney about him new release and the thing dey pain am well for Instagram

Who advised the guy to start singing?

He should open a restaurant, as he loves cooking. He would do well there than singing.

Kunle Afolayan just diversified and opened Afefeyeye Restaurant and doing very well there
