There are more pidgin English speakers in Lagos than Warri, Benin and Port-hacourt put together. The only difference is that pidgin is not the only language of choice. There are millions who speak only English and those that speak only Yoruba, Yoruba and pidgin or English ad Yoruba. There also those who speak Igbo, Igbo and pidgin or Igbo and pidgin. let's not forget those that speak hausa and other languages. The competition is just fiercer for languages than in places like Port-hacourt, Warri and co.

plz re read waht you wrote,.Who are the pidgin English speakers in Lagos?typical lagosians or migrated lagosians? Go to the car park, waht language do the touts speak?

bear i n mind there are more people in Lagos than warri, more so we are not talking about how many people speak waht but the originality and its roots.

The worst thing to ever happen to this country is the Senate. Why on earth won't u allow the customs to revert the mistakes they committed thru ur influence of support to endemic corruption? Most senators will fall victims of the ultimatum as they run the business of car deal and will have to pay huge sum. How many Nigerians own a car in comparison to the number of those who do not? If I don't own a car, do I care about the new order? Besides it will make cars cheaper and can easily be owned by the people who earlier found it difficult as those that can't clear their cars will have to either sell them cheaper to those who can afford, or risk having theirs impounded. Senate are only a disgrace and only act quicker when a policy will be to their detriment. Selfish people, making the country poorer through milking the funds meant for public use!

Seriously, you cant see beyound your nose
YOu said something like those who did not clear thier cars will sell cheap, so those who buy these cheap cars what do they do with them?
car Biz is a very time consuming and fund gagging venture,You have to be dubious to make mega profits,I did it for 15 years,I stop and re invested my money in a diff Biz altogether cos i could not be bothered anymore,Imagine you buy and import a camry of 2000 to lagos,it cost you N980K to land it and its been haggard for N1,1M or even N1M, this can go o n for about 4 to 6 months. imagine having profit of N100K from investing N1m for nearly 6 months.
Let me also mention here, smuggling your imported car saves you next to nothing, max gains wont be more than say N30-50K, so why go fru all that stress? now that brings us to the conclusion, you pay people to bring your car across the border, they promise you hey will pay all duties instead smuggle your car across with you non the wiser. Im talking from personal experience,

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
Yes and now we have a leader who is ready to right the wrong and need our support..

what has this got to do with leader? are we talking PMB here? one who was sick instead of fixing the health and medical center he voted billions for at ABJ and ran to meet me here in London for treatment? that speaks volume for the kind of leader you are hammering about.

Jiang:
I said I CAN not I WILL

Look at this jobless applicant.I have gone fru your post, nothing of substance Una go just dey make mouth.kontinu
any lil thing Una go brag, u can feed me dont go and read your books.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
Well you right but still it's illegal driving vehicle with no genuine papers

It is but why would those in government register an illegal vehicle ?
ANSWER . They themselves are corrupt .

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
80% of our senators are into illegality so reason they will support using vehicles without duty..

I get that but duty should then be collected at point of registration .it's that simple not subjecting everyone the highway to stop amd search . Police are already doing that causing huge traffic

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
And why should the citizen buy something illegal? So if NDLEA see you with drugs they should let you know since it came in through the airport?

That's different drugs are illegal in or out of Nigeria full stop

Jiang:

Stop hating

tete7000:
So you agree it is right for them to go around asking for customs' papers for cars that have been duly registered with numbers? What stop them from ensuring such cars can't be registered without proper customs' papers. Once a car is duly registered I don't see why anyone should demand people show customs' paper again, it is preposterous.

Good point but I know why?they won't recieve bribes that way.

SBG04:
You're the one that is not making sense. If your car was smuggled across the border, you cheated the government of customs duties. Nobody is even arresting you for smuggling, they're saying give us our money and we'll forget that you smuggled the car and you're still here complaining.
Nonsense!!!

No custom officer stand in the middle of the road or check already registered vehicle for custom duties in the west.Custom should protect the border amd if cars get fru then at point of registration there should be custom clearance b4 you get the car registered .

"We know all that". Thanks you have accepted that an X6 SUV from BMW is not a Jeep! You can continue to call every 4×4 vehicle you see a Jeep. Ich lach Mich tot!

Im just trying to correct your silly ITK mentality,Nah U sabi pass when teh man said JEEP we all knew what he meant, we aint in an English class here,the information was duly comprehended, but you being ITK must talk.

Lach weiter, bis dein Kopf fällt

Jeep is a registered brand of Chrysler motors of United States of America. The name Jeep is a trademark and brand of off-road vehicles produced exclusively by Chrysler. No model of a German automobile company including BMW has a vehicle known as Jeep. Jeep Cherokee and Wrangler models are all manufactured by Chrysler Motors Inc and its subsidiary.

Stop being silly we know all that and as a matter of fact I own a jeep liberty in Nigeria. The point is there is a clear definition of what a jeep is in the Dictionary so stop being ignorant full stop.
Did you not read the link I sent?

Litmus:
And look at what the fools did to Libya. The West sowed the seeds of revolutionary fervour in the heads of those Libyans not already hankering after one themselves because of tribal differences with Gadafi. And when the West saw the opportunity to go after Qaddafi, to settle old relatively petty grievances, there was a ready supply of "revolutionaries" to call upon. Revolution, for that is what the coups, insurrections and ethnic strife amount to in their own small ways, is and always has been the undoing of Africa.

Today the Libyans have been barred from traveling to the US.them eye don clear.

LordCenturion:
All those fake pastors parading themselves as men of GOD, sleeping with their female members, non of them can never says they haven't slept with any of their members(both single and married) before...

Nah so my gf pastor dey text her last last month that "hi bbe, I have missed ur face, actually I couldn't concentrate during the sermon on Sunday" I was shocked to read this from GO of the church, my gf said he has been disturbing her since early February, she said she is going to report the matter to his wife which I go against it, I told her to leave the church instead, which we agreed upon, but to my greatest surprise, my girlfriend secretly going to that church as at last week Sunday and yesterday,I challenge her today but she says she will soon quit the church, she doesn't know that she is fooling herself not me, and am 100% sure that her old pastor who is enough to be her grandfather has been having canal knowledge of her,i have promised not to have anything to do with her as from today,but she never know this yet....i have move on with my life...

Wise choice.

Pure greed and covetousness.

I'd imagine that anywhere in Africa, $850 is enough to start some kind of business, and definitely so in the Gambia. I know people who have started with $10 and are doing good today. This one in particular, that is teling this story must have expended at least $1,500 and his own goal is just to get there and become a parasite to the system.

What is worse is that he is not actually discouraging people from going to Europe the back way, but he is only warning them not to use the Libya route.

Cost far less

nothing bro, its just like gambling

Make I nor lie.of you pit Senate Job down amd for me to go to the West guy I go take the opportunity to go West any day any time..

Africans should stay back home and fight for their emancipation from the corrupt, thieving, mediocre, incompetent, and megalomaniac governments that plague the continent. For instance, in the case of Nigeria, instead of hopeless Nigerians going through this sort of hell in Libya and still dying, why not die at home but after making sure that people like Obasanjo, IBB, all former presidents, governors, senator - EVERY PERSON WHO'S HELD ANY POLITICAL/GOVERNMENT OFFICE are also killed and not allowed to enjoy the stolen wealth. It is called revolution, a non ethnic-based revolution that would "drain the Nigerian swamp of thieving elites." How achieve this?

If everyone takes up arms, our military does not even come close to stopping us. Imagine if 20 million men confront the less than 1 million highly incompetent Nigeria military force (with no special skills, training or equipment). Did you know most of our military people don't have any more tactical training, after their initial training when they joined the force? That is why they (our military) seem to perform ONLY if the civilians are unarmed.

It is this understanding that is responsible for how and why the ARAB SPRING succeeded in ousting those respective governments in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, etc. The military force of those countries were simply out-numbered and out-armed with superior weapons. What would happen if, for instance, groups of 2-3 million highly armed Nigerian men surround and attack ASO Rock, the 36 State houses, and key military formations/installations?

If Nigerians rise up and kill these people, no force can stop us (our military couldn't even stop Boko Haram, talkless of stopping 20 or more million people that are equally armed with superior weapons) and that is the only means by which we can return hope to our people. Ofcourse, you'd be naive to think people won't die from all sides. Many people would die but the country would be better for it, afterwards. It is called "sacrificing for the greater/common good!" We are all dying silently anyway (from lack of electricity, roads, hospitals, etc), so why not die much more honorably by stopping those who are causing the hardship? Why not die after killing your governor, senator, IBB and Obasanjo (so that you stop them from their continuous rape of the country)?

Dying that way is better than dying in the desert, in Libya, like this, allowing the looters to enjoy their lives with the loot. Did you know IBB, Obasanjo, and the rest of them collect more money than some states, monthly, from the oils wells they stole for themselves? Should it be so? Should a few people alot the resources of a country to themselves and their families while over 150 million people wallop in squalor and abject poverty and deprivation?

Ofcourse, ethnicity won't allow us to do anything like that! We can't think in this country because of ethnicity! Our youth can't think and act to correct this zoo called Nigeria because ethnicity has clouded their sense of reasoning. Oh ... we can't kill Obasanjo or IBB (to stop them from stealing from us) because they're from our village, local government, state, or ethnic group....eventhough they haven't done anything to benefit you or your ethnic group.

I cease having pity for Nigerians and Africans because we are unwilling to sacrifice for our own good. Continue to elect old and expired people and then expect the dead woods to provide jobs! Nigerians are cowards; the population is dumb, and the ethnic groups are a defeated people! No pity for Nigerians and Africans! Cowards!!!

Let me say this.u can never achieve peace by staying at home.you have to go out and make others not get to you. The freedom and enrichment enjoyed today was as a result of thier forefather who ventured unto unknown world's to hustle . These great explorers where the ones who gave the west it's advantages they are enjoying today .
