We are waiting patiently to see how this briliant dude will be rewarded,
Waiting for all the Scholarship that will be coming his way!

Atleast in BIG Brother Nigeria, we know that 60 MILLION NAIRA AND A SUV is waiting for one youth currently, kissing, romancing, twerking, having sex in the toilet locked up in a certain house for 3 months!

Nigeria : A country where. .................... (fill in the gap)

Ngn 60m and an SUV is not the prize for the winner.

I know you can not comprehend when you read.

So tune to BB9JA and watch the advert every 30mins to know what the right price would be.

Lazy youth

Mercy will just ask BB to let her go home

Is this how bridges are constructed on expanded rivers and lagoons?

I have always wondered how third mainland bridge was built. Do the engineers have to sand-fill every now and then before they can complete it?

No, there is something called pilling and suction in shallow waters.

Is it mosquitoes that is on the chicken?

My fellow country men, could some one kindly explain to me the news about a man and his wife having dinner?


Has any one noticed that funny threads comes to FP every month end ?
Could this be a way in which the mods reminds seun of their monthly allowances ?

Rubbish show........ I've not watched a minute of this nonsense and I'm damn sure I'm not alone on this

My dear you are on you own

codedcliq:
Thanks. I copied you because I assume you have your car in the second container as well.

I requested for the number of the clearing agent from him since July 25th so I can make arrangement for the delivery. Like I said, no major issue with his terms of contract (even if they were not spelt out before advance was paid). If he has sent the number of the clearing agent when I requested, my first post on this thread would have been the confirmation that car has arrived.

He has finally sent the number of the clearing agent to me. I will contact the person to make necessary arrangements for the delivery.

Thanks everyone. Like the people above said, this is just miscommunication. Though I have to add that a businessman also shouldn't be too rigid.

I will update once I reach agreement with the clearing agent and also pay amdman the balance shortly.

@bolded, OP is operating on a lean budget
obviously he is not here to kill
but let the cars come in peace, nothing beats that.

portacabin:
1.The containers from Canada are transhipped in Europe, so there wont be a bill of laden until the ship has sailed on the 2nd leg. 2. Demmurage starts to count on the 4 th day. 3.The clearing fees should be paid in principle before the ship berths to reduce clearing time and this was emphasized at the very beginning . 4. I believe, that the OP is a man of integrity and he will deliver the goods as promised. 5. Driving out any vehicle from Apapa axis is a very demanding task this days, and nobody will do it for free. 6. A very dubious person who knows his way around the ports practies can actually clear a vehicle with a kind of indemnity( without original bill of laden. this explains OPs reluctance to hand over a bill of laden for 4 cars to a person that owns just 1 car

well said, but OP should comfort his clients.
The people that bring money and business to him is very important.
Even if you deliver the cars successfully and the buy is not pleased with the process, s/he would not be happy.
OP portrays to do more than car selling, but peace of mind as well.
AMDMAN, find way to connect the car to your customer, someone that trusted you on a porous platform like this with over 1million naira deserves some hugs at end of contract and not public dispute,

lol
when we smite the heads of serpent and celebrate it on FP
some folks come here to blab about animal preservation and extinct gibberish

now see what your oyinbo people are requeting for beow:

The rare osmia avosetta species is to be destroyed on sight as it is considered a threat to native species

nobody cares about the next stuff if it threatens there existence rare or abundant, kill it

The look on Omatsholas face when he discovered he had only been jumping up and down over a cray fish not knowing that a whale is coming the next day......he coudlnt take his eyes off enkays back side...

and Mercy was speechless at seeing Joe, she was thinking she would be the winner......

My advise to Ike is to dump her sorry ass right away, Ike is a real street boy, he knew he needed those coins to survive.
BB made it clear, stealing and gambling with coin is no offence in the game! he told tacha and seyi to come in with the dice so boys can roll and make some money for themselves. Bet9ja needed to put gambling in peoples faces..... hence they sponsor the show...


Now Ike returned the coin, how will he buy immunity. mercy thinks winning 60m NGN is a salvation army programm, bithcth u must work ur ass out now (truly that is all she got) - her ass

when u ignore things, dont call attention.
Now u failed that part again
Can u just get it right next time?

codedcliq:
The time I thought I will comment on this post is when I have received my car from Amdman. However, recent happenings have necessitated this post.

Preamble:
I contacted Amdman concerning one of the cars he posted. Total amount (inclusive of clearing) he posted was N1.1m. I made a payment of N800k to him so he can purchase and ship. Days later, he told me the car owner is no longer willing to sell so he had to source for another. No wahala. He got one with total amount (inclusive of clearing) as N1.25m. My downpayment was still witihin 60-70% of the total cost so all was fine. He sent pictures and videos to me and posted same here. All good.

Weeks later, I contacted him to send me a scanned copy of the original bill of lading. Please note scanned copy as I wasn't expecting him to courier the original to me since I am not the one clearing. First he said it wasn't ready, then later he said he will send a part of the original. After a couple of weeks, he send he can only send the Draft Bill of Lading. When I asked why he can't just scan the original Bill of Lading with his phone and send to me, below was his response verbatim

"The amount of bad press that will be generated against us if anything goes wrong with anyone’s car is not something we are willing to risk"

How sending a scanned copy of transport document will make anything go wrong with someone's car is what I am still trying to undestand. I have been working with shipping documents for almost 10years now so there is no risk he wants to claim that I don't know of. You can only clear your car at the Seaport if you have the original Bill of Lading and evidence to show you are the one it was consigned to. Any clearing agent here is free to counter this.

Two reasons I requested for the scanned Bill of Lading
1. To apply for car financing - since I am pre-ordering the car, it is one of the required documents
2. To be able to indepently verify that actual shipment took place using the International Maritime Bureau portal


He eventually sent the draft bill of lading which didn't qualify for the intended purpose. Still I moved on.

Later, he sent the tracking details of the vessel / shipment to me. As at this moment, tracking details he sent is still showing that Vessel will likely arrive today, not that it has arrived.
He chatted me up days ago that the ship has berthed and I should pay the balance of 450k. No wahala. I told him to send the contact of the clearing agent so I can make arrangement to have him deliver the car to my place. Let me state here that on the Invoice he sent, two conditions stood out:

1. Pick up at Lagos port
2. 2nd payment due after confirmation of vehicle purchase

The Pick up at Lagos port is not something I am comfortable with. This was not communicated until I made the advance payment. His post here after he decided to be handling the clearing cost was - "buying, shipping and clearing" - not that the buyer will still have to go the port to pick up the car.

Still I was ready to proceed but I told him I will rather the Agent delivers the car to my place so he should send his number let me liaise with him. Next thing he told me is quoted verbatim below:

"Depending on your location, that can range from 20k to 50k"

So I have to tell him facts and any clearing agent here is free to counter. If I pay a clearing agent to clear my car in Lagos ports, I expect him to deliver the car to my place (they already calculate these costs in the fees they charge). If I am outside Lagos, he is free to negotiate additional cost with me for delivery. Why will I have to go to the port to pick up a car when I am paying for clearing? I can as well just get another clearing agent to do the clearing for me then. Imagine driving a non-registered car when I am not a car dealer or clearing agent and you are stopped by the police. Nigeria police do not respect the 90days grace period. That's why we have clearing agents for this.

He started threatening me with demurrage fees. Hello, you've been the one providing all the information. I can't run an independent check because you refused to provide a scanned copy of the transport document. The draft Bill of Lading you sent shows the shipping line Hapag-Lloyd gives 21 days free demurrage (which was clearly stated on the draft you yourself sent). So even if the claim by you that the vessel is in Tincan is true, it is after 21days that demurrage will start counting.

He is yet to provide the contact of the clearing agent but he wants me to pay 100%, leave my work and go to the port to wait for car to come out.

The tracking details he sent shows vessel is not yet at Tincan but he claims otherwise.

Amdman, I am willing to pay the balance right now, that is not an issue. However, I need to:
1. Independently confirm that the shipment took place and vessel has arrived. You can get your clearing agent to come here and confirm this or you provide me with a scanned copy of the original bill of lading
2. I won't leave my work to come to the port to pick up a car and I can't & won't pay "20k to 50k" for a distance of less than 15km from the port to my place.

I still believe Amdman is legit and these things are just business issues that can be resolved. I won't have brought this here if he has shown some flexibility because I even told him I may have to bring it public and he said I should go ahead. So fellow buyers, please if I am the one that is being unreasonable, kindly let me know. I am not a rigid person. Though I believe it doesn't make sense for one to pay for clearing fees and still have to go to the port to pick up an unregistered car to drive home.

Cc: deepwater

We never grind beans, moi moi don dey smell
Everyone seems to be more concerned about 20k - 50k (this is not an issue, deepwater will pay that for u as a friend )
First things First
Where is your car?


On the flip side, and as you know already, OP is a man who speaks the law very well, he wouldn't want to break any law himself. he knows how wordings work in context of contracts....
I would advise you reach a compromise with him to deliver, 1km to anywhere from TIN CAN is equivalent to a journey for the brave only...thanks to bad road. However, not an issue, cars dey enter steady even as i type. Agents know their ways.

If i had my way, ur post should have been a testimony, u have waited this long already! do the needful and complete the journey so we can celebrate your new whip here with you.

I saw ur comment the other day and i thought u are one of the few intelligent Nigerians who know that bigbrother is a show for the unwise now i know that u are not 1 of them

An intelligent person is a person who knows little about everything and not a person who knows everything about little.

My friend, u are not one of the intelligent people out here.

FYI, BB9Ja is a social experiment - this is science, notwithstanding the arts wrapped around it

now u know, make use of this knowledge

This year's edition is too close to call for now. The previous two had early favourites who rode to victory from day one (Efe and Miracle).
Let's see how this goes.

miracle was not ontop his game from day 1

yes he kissed nina on the 3rd day but was still clueless afterwards. in his words, he was studying the house

he only became active after Tobi could not gain a stand with madam ceec after they left the HOH room.

Tobi brought him out instead.

Had it been TOBI was able to get CeeC full attention, Miracle for don go house since.

Fat lie.
Boy dont have that funds in raw cash
