Geology is a great course with good career prospect. In Nigeria jobs have a lot to do with who you know irrespective of the course you study. I studied chemistry but I work with a geological company. This life no balance at all.

Have u ever wondered how you can identify fake custom papers?

All you need to check is what we call "CUSTOMS REFERENCE NUMBER" or c-number on your SGD form *single goods declaration form*.

This particular number is actually used to input details of your vehicle and payment of duty into the customs' database. It shows information like the consignee info ( agency handling your job),the means of entry (road for vehicles through land borders and ports for sea),office of entry (idiroko customs command or seme customs command or tincan port),location of vehicle and place of discharge(idiroko border/seme border,tincan),name and address of person/persons responsible for financial settlement (the owner of the vehicle) etc.

What fraudulent dealers do is called MO or machined outside-this is a process where a forger forges the bank receipts and all customs documentation. The documents look genuine but are not in the customs data base. It is a giant syndicate in the ports and borders because the vehicles are ultimately smuggled out of the ports/borders with conivance of fraudulent customs officials.

At the top right hand corner of your document is a very bold set of numbers. This is the "C" number. You can not miss it because it is so bold and prominent. Underneath it is a date. That date is to reflect the date duty was paid at the bank and stored in the customs ASSYCUDA data base. ASSYCUA means "automated system customs data". And the date under the C number means that that C number was computed into the data system on that date plus all the charges paid. If the payment reflects on the data base it means your documents are genuine,on the other hand if it does not reflect it means your car documents are duds/fake and your vehicle is liable to seizure and confiscation if you are stopped at any check point,if you are on a long distance journey.

My advise to any one buying a car from anybody is to request for the relevant documents in particular the SGD form which means "single goods declaration form" and has the C number boldly written at the top right hand corner. Under the C number is the date that document was posted into the data system.
No two vehicles can have the same C number and date. So armed with this you can visit any customs station to know if your documents are genuine.

With some cotonou smuggled cars showing up on our streets with forged documents as lagos cleared hand vehicles been M.Od out of ports,this is a stress-free method of verifying your papers.

We have opened this thread for verification of C-numbers from the following points of entry -

1. Lagos port
2. Seme
3. Idiroko.

Also please beware of those people that call you early in the morning and tell you your number was given to them in a dream, they try to play on your religion, listen to them at your own risk. What I believe is that they dial random number. My wife received a call at about 6am sunday morning
My wife:hello
Caller:good morning sir
My wife:hello
Caller:pls sir, ur no was given to me in a dream dat is why am calling
My wife:pls I don't know u

Next thing he started asking where my wife is based, what she is doing for a living e.t.c I had to step in and since then we did not hear from him again

Bliss4Lyfe:
Comments like this never help situation. The terrorist insist that their actions is for Islam, the president saying it has nothing to do with Islam sends the message to muslims and muslim terrosrist that it is business as usual.


Dat is never Ok, since it is we the general public that are often cut in the cross fire or targeted by the muslim terrorist.


Islam and Muslims are the ones that should search deep amongst themselves for a solution and not the president excusing them of their duty to checkmate and deter their members from ever hurting the innocent or anybody without recourse to the law and i don't mean sharia law either.


Terrorism has everything to do with Islam.

Gbam!

Jonathan should not make himself the spokeman for muslims. They should speak for themselves but the fact remains that all boko haram are muslims, islamist and Terrorist.
