He will be released almost immediately
No big deal.
Maybe he didn't get a permit or he violated people's space or used derogatory language
Those of you rejoicing are clueless
yep you are right, he probably was disturbing the peace, not everyone wants to hear your religion being preached hence there are free speech areas, he must have wondered from them areas!

sad Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think preaching the gospel should be banned worldwide. We Christians are constituting nuisances all over the world with our hypocritical evangelism afterall we fail to practice what we preach. No muslim will do this madness in public, why are we Christians so primitivehuh sad
I don't think this is the issue here, the fact is there are designated places for preaching, in the Uk it is called free speech area!

Let me explain something to us.

No President can emerge in NIGERIA without having at list 25% in Fct..... I repeat atlist 25% in Fct..... Forget about other votes, the rule is have atlist 25% in Abuja first then others comes in..... With d look of things is like the PDP has more than 76% in Abuja..... Which isn't good for the Apc. CHECK THIS OUT!!!

Section 134 (2) states that “A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there been more than two candidates for the election- (a) he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two- thirds of all the states in Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Just analysing FACTS
So do we have an official result out of FCT yet?

Tough question. Buy the Lexus since you are using it for a month and resell. A diesel engine is good even with the dirty diesel but to sell it quickly is the issue unless the circle where you hang out might make the difference.

Nobody is asking you all this stories chief.
Not a fight.
I gave the landing cost to lagos port.
Nobody here spoke abput duty.
But i Repeat the p380 velar will be gotten for 23M or slighty lesser . and the P250 i4 lower trim will be gotten for less.


As for duty
This 2018 has more than 10k miles and will be decleared as used.
All this will be paid. Respectively.
Stop making a mere velar look like rocket science.
If you fear the velar like this then how much would be paid for the 2018 Vogue top trim .


Your 012 sport would be cleared for less than 4m .
Oga so in ur response to my 4 lines you decided to write a textbook, nah wah for 9ja people I am still challenging you to land this said car with your own N23m, I will buy it from you N25m.I am challenging you. angry
Car Talk › Re: What Is a "scam" in auto repair? by erico2k2(m):
radautoworks:
So I log on today and there a LOT of mud-slinging about pricing!! My question is a simple one.:

1) what percentage profit do you think it is fair for a mechanic/parts seller to make on parts?

2) how much do you think it is fair for a mechanic to make on labor?

I'll go one step further. Assume the part cost the seller and/or mechanic N1,000.
My recent Encounter to what I call a SCAM
My Mrs called me and here is the convo
Mrs, Honi, I'm fed up with this car, when I brake I pull to one side and I can hear some grinding noise like kraaa kraaaa
Me: That would be the Bushing cos when we replaced the rear axle it came complete I should have gotten suspension arms with new bushing
Mrs.: Honi all this car part you are talking about I have no clue if we were talking bout punny braids now yes smiles
Me; Ok whats the way 4ward, take it to a mechanic since I'm not there and Ike our mechanic has gone to the village
Mrs OK honi I will give you feedback
Note car is jeep Liberty 2003. Complete rear axle bought from the US and changed in PHC.
Next Day
Mrs:Honi the mechanic has fixed the car all working fine, he said he bought two Hubs for N40k and labour N5k, I'm happy, abeg update my account angry angry (Women)arghhhh
Me: Honi do you have the parts he claimed he replaced huh huh
Mrs: Yes nah, you know you have warned me to always keep replaced parts at the storage so I did wink
Me: Please snap and send me a photo of it, I'm a bit confused about the part.
Mrs here it is, two things he said Hub.
Me;Honi that hub is not from the jeep, in fact, the only hub the car has is in the front and it has no ABS, the rear axle has no hub its one unit with spyder bearing this was the reasons I bought a complete axle from the USA to replace it.
Mrs:Wow honi so you mean the mechanic scammed me huh embarassed embarassed
Me: yes I am afraid love angry angry , what is going to happen now is go to Uniport,Dept Engineering, Proff is there today I spoke to him already ask him to accompany you to that mechanic, ask him to loosen the part he changed then we will get to the bottom of this
Mrs; oright honi, I'm going now.
Prff: Oga Malic, U say U change this hub from back tyre abi
Mechanic: yes sir, E hard nor be small
Prof: Oyah losen tyre show me the hub, I go pay you labour money N5k nothing do me
Mechanic: Oga Inor get tools oh,my boy go outside work,
Prof;The owner of this car nah my friend E get full tools in the boot to loosen the car even Hydraulic jack so no shaking, start work
Mechanic: Started crying,Oga nah devil work, I nor know wetin enter my head, true I nor change hub nah bushing we change,I carry am go waterlines go press
proff: Howmuch to do am
mechanic:nah N5k for both
Mrs:Oyah as I dey see you so return my N40k if not nah SARS straight
Mechanic:Ahh Madam abeg i get N30k, I go bring the balance come shop 4 evening
Mrs: takes the money and slammed it into her bag, was very angry
Both Proff and Mrs left and prof called me, I spoke to both and was laughing.
I was talking about the whole drama with the Mrs for up to 30 mins on phone, when she said Please honi got to go, I got customers, I now said Ok but do not forget to return the retrieved money,
Mrs says I hear
Up till now, no Alert from Mrs (WOmen) grin grin
So you see the scam there,I dont mind being billed cos that's your labour but the real cost for parts should be billed to the cliant.

P250 can be gotten as low as 48kusd
With shipping and fees about 20M



This is a p380 S. 10k miles
58k usd. Can be slightly negotiated.
Plus 5k fees and shipping.
Thats about 22m+ to the port. Could be lesser if properly negotiated .

The marginal difference between 2018 and 2019 pricing is barely noticeable
Add vat of 20% where does that land you? and there is no way landing price would not costN35m I was billed approx N4m clearing for my 2012 Autobiography so imagine howmuch this will cost after clearing, now who sells cars at landing price??

Lol you reason like a child. Nobody is distrupting the ports clearance is disfunctional. Nothing you wrote disproves any fact I gave you hence why you run to next topic each time I answer you.

Funny you wrong about the wagons, ignorant about coaches, current and future rail connectivity. Now you reduced to captain obvious statements about Nigerian ports being inefficient. The fact it took NRC a year to get 18 wagons shows theirs an issue.
Your arguments are lame as usual and lack moral substance, what in craap name has this response of urs got to do with the initial gibberish you posted of which I gave a full narrative of the full reality on the ground as suppose to your video clip which by now I suggest is political?

Petrol version usa spec.
19k miles
This vehicle will get to lagos port 23M .

Diesel is great but i won't advice it if you intend to resell because of the value over here.

Rx350 is also a great purchase.
Both vehicles are great .

Which ever one you want to buy. Do a proper check against accident and floods. Importing it is your best bet (saves more cash and you buy something good) . Just get a trust worthy importer to help you.

You're rambling now. You're simply wrong about wagon because you didnt post or watch video. Second the coaches are on the way as stated in the video. I quoted what I saw before you edit post so quit complaining. Lol finish your thought before posting so I can respond to everything.



The narrow guage rails connect directly to the lagos ports. They dont connect to the others that means they will need to move by truck to the rail lines. The standard guages will connect to the ports.
so they are going to build standard gauge lines to the port,?
if there is a narrow gauge line does this not mean they have been in existence for ages?

PHCN in my Area was shit , in the whole south east ,south south and etc PHCN was shit ,but now I know most places can boast of constant light , the issue is not selling stuff the issue is selling it and aslo put a fair body that will monitor it , if Nepa was actually monitored well , then will have constant light , but when bribe is the major thing in Nigeria who are u blaming , most of u here will join police and still collect bribe , most of u will be chief jugde and still collect bribe , o Efcc are full of bribery and corrucption , no true Justice in this country , so we want a fresh start , NNPC is one of our problems den let it go , secondly the constitution ,if Atiku will amend the constitution as he promised then Nigeria will be better
quick question for you, if NNPC was sold for N100k would you buy it?

Bro you dont get it, google train coaches or wagons see if anything resembles whats on them pictures then come back!
However these are freight trains..These are container trains, so my question is this, Are or is there a train terminal at the Port in Lagos or any other port? if so where? or where are they planning on loading an unloading containers?

Thank God for Buhari coming in to stabilize us through this recession which happened because jonathan failed to save despite earning 60% more than Buhari. Note the global fall in the price of crude oil from $110 per barrel in 5 years under Jonathan to a paltry $50 per barrel under Buhari administration yet Buhari was able to give us many project such railway, Baro port, Revival of fertilizer mills etc as well as keeping us afloat through the recession while surprising Iweala and Soludo who all predicted recession in the coming years regardless who wins between Jonathan and Buhari in 2015.
