Exactly six days ago, we made a post on how the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) are working towards the reduction of the current vehicle import duty from 70% to 45%.

The Comptroller-General of Customs, Col Hameed Ali (retd.) has urged the federal government to reduce the 35% levy on imported vehicles , saying the move is necessary to check the rising cases of smuggled vehicles into the country. You can read all through the link here.

An automobile expert thinks otherwise; he proposes that reducing the import duty of these used cars can be dangerous to the economy.

The Vice-President, Business Development, Dana Motors, Mr Olu Tikolo, on Saturday said that the recent call for the reduction of import duties on used cars portends danger to the 2013 Nigeria Auto Policy.

Mr Olu Tikolo made the call at a media parley at his office, Akin Adesola, Victoria Island, on the partnership between Cars45 and Dana Motors.

Tikolo, on the heels of the recent call made by some stakeholders demanding a reduction on the tariff for imported vehicle by 15 per cent said such reduction could derail the existing auto policy. Saying it is anathema to the desired economic prosperity of the country.

“We must understand the prospect of the 2013 Auto Policy by the previous government which is aimed at encouraging local manufacturing of cars in Nigeria.

“The call for the reduction in the tariff for the importation of used cars portends great danger to the economy and also for investors’ confidence in our economy.

“Only the manufacturing sector can contribute effectively to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country which cars assembly and manufacturing can contribute up to 7 per cent.

“In other advanced countries, car manufacturing contributes up to 12 per cent of their economy, examples are South Africa and Brazil,’’ he said.

I am in the market for a Toyota Siena 2005 / 2006 that will help improve logistics for our movie crew @JanellaTV. Being on a tight schedule and to avoid buying a “Lemon”, I decided to reach out to one of the trusted names on Nairaland “Gazzuzz.”

After a brief chat with him yesterday evening 01/07/2019, and reaching an agreement on his service fees and estimated budget for the car, I transferred the full amount he requested this morning 02/07/2019. This thread was opened was record and transparency purpose.

Oga Gazzuzz, over to you. Full disclosure permitted, but leave out details like names and account.

In other words, the country does not earn enough money to do what its citizens think should be done.

It does not earn enough money to become a developed country, even without corruption.

In other words, if there was no corruption at all, Nigeria would be hardly different from what it is today. Perhaps only just marginally better.

Take a look at this page:

List of Countries By Annual Budget

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_budget

Under ''Earnings'' you can see that Nigeria earns around the same amount annually as ETHIOPIA.

ALGERIA earns four times more than Nigeria per annum.

KENYA earns more than Nigeria per annum. You read that correctly.

Under ''Expenditures'' which is the budget, you can see that Nigeria's annual budget is 22 billion USD.

South Africa's annual budget is 103 billion USD.

Egypt's annual budget is 55 billion USD.

Saudi Arabia's annual budget is 246 billion USD.

The United States' annual budget is 6.8 TRILLION USD

China: 3.8 TRILLION USD

Japan: 1.9 TRILLION USD

Germany: 1.6 TRILLION USD

France: 1.4 TRILLION USD

United Kingdom: 1.1 TRILLION USD

Italy: 927 billion USD

Brazil: 779 billion USD

India: 725 billion USD

Canada: 657 billion USD

And so on and so forth.....

Even countries we rarely hear about...Austria for example, has an annual budget of 201 billion USD.

Turkey: 190 billion USD

Denmark: 175 billion USD

Finland: 140 billion USD.

Meanwhile most of these nations are far less than Nigeria in population size, meaning far less mouths to feed.

Why won't those places look like heaven compared to Nigeria?

Note: These are the countries that Nigerians keep comparing themselves to, and attacking their govt for not making Nigeria like those countries, and blaming ''corruption'' for the problem of Nigeria not being like those countries. In other words, if the politicians did not embezzle money, Nigeria would be like those countries, including the USA. Nothing could be further from the truth.

As you can see, our Number 1 problem is NOT corruption. It is lack of money. Low national income. Specifically, inadequate diversification away from oil.

Here's some mathematics. If out of the Nigerian govt's annual budget of 22 billion USD, say 6 billion was lost to corruption, that leaves us with 16 billion USD per annum, an admittedly pitiful amount.

But what if Nigeria's annual budget, ie a diversified Nigerian economy's annual budget, was 250 billion USD? Guess what? Even if the politicians stole a full HALF of that amount - highly unlikely in this digital age where such amount cannot be hidden - we would still have a 125 billion USD annual budget. More than enough to solve our basic problems, plus some change left over!

In other words, mathematically speaking, it is very possible for us to TRIPLE or even QUADRUPLE our level of corruption and yet still get on the right path to development, and become an advanced nation, insofar as we put the right economic policies in place.

So, you see, until WE start to stress DIVERSIFICATION as our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY, and far, far ahead of CORRUPTION, we will continue being a people fighting over little crumbs while ignoring the bigger picture, and failing to meet our potential.

Thank you.

If the person has a collateral "worth the amount needed", wouldn't he/she simply save the trouble and sell it to raise the cash.

Thanks Bro do they give non salary earners n those outside lagos? Because m in ibadan m self employed n have my own small business

ithink7:
Where and how can you get a quick loan in Lagos to finance a one time supply business when you have something you can give as a collateral like your car.

Most Micro-finance banks seems to only be interested in presenting a guarantor instead of asking for collateral.

Are there money lenders than will not ask for more than 10% interest for a short term loan in Lagos.

Guys, please drop your suggestions.

Thanks

If you are Uber Partner or Driver in Lagos, kindly share your experience here:

- Considering the unpredictable traffic situation in some parts of Lagos, is it lucrative?
- How much on the average do you make weekly, working from morning till evening daily excluding weekends?
- What are the challenges specific to Lagos with being a partner or driver with Uber?
- Would you recommend a friend to be a partner with Uber.
- Any other useful info...

I need this survey/shared experience because I have thought of being a partner with Uber. I have a driver that is assigned to my family. My family's daily itinerary is fixed and this makes my driver and my car idle from 8am to 8pm daily. Registering the car and the driver with Uber has been considered to roll extra bucks into the family's purse and increase my driver's take-home as he will get commission from money made from Uber, apart from the salary he is being paid presently.

Your comments will be appreciated!
