Nice write up, dunno why people do Auctions, its loads of time wasting though you might get a cheap deal but hey do you have time to check the true conditions of the car?

Yes you do get an inspection, it depends on the auction house. Manheim, the largest auctioneers, have an in-house inspection service that I find invaluable. After a bid is won, you can ask for an inspection, which is usually done within 24 hours. Where the car fails inspection, you may reject the vehicle. Well worth the nominal fee.

lol. My business bank account number in the US ends in 419! You would not believe the looks I have received from clients in Nigeria sending wire transfers to us in the US! Thank God say I fine small. lol.

Kudos to the resourcefulness and dedication of the young man.

However, this is not a prototype, it is a model helicopter. A prototype is built to test a new design or concept.
There is nothing new or conceptual about the design of this helicopter.

Wondering how that could be the picture of said accident, since it is reported that the driver did not die in the accident. This picture clearly shows a lifeless body in the driver's seat. Hmmnn.

Hey there!
Has this bike ever been dropped (fallen)?

I'm interested, please send better pictures (not blurred) directly to me at raven_mortal at hotmail.com

Strong statement from a seeming ineffectual leader!
May God continue to help Nigeria!

My point precisely! Ikea is infact cheaply made, however the quality and feel of an Ikea chaise is significantly better than most locally made sofas. That speaks volumes of the relative quality of the locally made items.

You know this "quality has improved in Nigeria" talk is amusing. To be fair, local furniture has improved somewhat, however people like what they like. If a person wants his furniture from the UK and can afford it, then so be it. Truth be told, even my cheap chaise lounge from Ikea is significantly more comfortable than the sofa set I paid a lot of money to have made here!

Siena:

What a coincidence, a little bird whispered in my ear too - a yellow canary. Must have been the same one that told you about those pesky Audi A4's.

Honda Accord built between 2003 - 2005 are moving time bombs. If you drive at 55 km/h for up to 6.735 minutes, the engines literally grenade. To avoid this explosive disaster, you need to drive at 53 km/h, and accelerate quickly through the explosive 55 km/h, to 56.75 and above.

You'll be safe then, don't forget to spread the word.

Oh, I forgot to mention - this only applies to 4 cylinder models with automatic transmission. V6 manual models are exempt.

ROTFLMAO!!

Advocate Sam -
If you were as good a lawyer as you say you are, you would know:
1. The perils involved in basing a case entirely on hearsay (you say your demand is based entirely on Tracs comments).
2. That every case must be heard and the accused afforded an opportunity to meet his accuser, hear the case against him and put up a defense.
3. A person cannot be accuser, judge and jury in the same case.

Insurance companies are not working hard enough to advertise and educate.
Their failure.

Thanks Ikenna! Very helpful.
Anyone in Lagos with a recent experience? Renewal or forced new registration?

Ikenna,
A follow up question please - Has the license issue been resolved yet? Are renewals still being done, or is one forced to get a new vehicle license and plate?

yods1000:
Not a hater and I am not trying to spoil his thread, I just didn't feel his estimates were correct and was trying to help. Someone asked for a car, I don't think the question was directed to anyone in particular. You can ask Bizbooks about the fx 45 , don't want to spoil his thread

As for the pictures, any one can get pictures from craigslist and post them on here. You don't fool me. You said you get all your cars from Manheim. I will not argue with you, but i just hope you are for real and not one of those guys who spoil our name, both here and in Naija. Also you said you charge 300 bucks we both know that's a lie, the normal price I have seen almost all dealers charge is $500 and I am in chicago which is far bigger than Baltimore and has waayyyyyy cheaper taxes. If you are for real, give me the name of your dealership, I will look it up.

Before I got my license in Atlanta, I always paid $300 to local dealers to purchase from Manheim, as did all my friends and family. I avoided the guys and gals who try to charge $500. Now I also charge $300 for pre-paid purchases. Same service, better price. That Bizboks charges $300 does not make him a liar or a socialist (like another Nlder suggested). It is what makes sense for his business model. Do you, let him do him.

Hi there!
As a returnee, you are entitled to ship "personal effects" in two (2) 40 foot containers, after your sojourn abroad. "Personal effects", for the record, includes your used furniture, your used clothing and vehicle(s), basically all of your personal items with which you wish to return. Legal items only (no guns, no ammo, no smokes and paraphernalia ). This means two things: 1. Items that are normally banned (furniture, used clothing) will be allowable on your container, but in "non-commercial" quantity (not a full container of 'bend down boutique' clothing or of furniture!); and 2. The duties payable would be either marginally lower or significantly lower than usual, depending on your agent.

Recent example:
returnee shipped items in 2011 in a 40footer from Savannah, GA.
Bill of lading listed "personal effects" - used furniture, used electronics, housewares, books, used clothing, used vehicle (actual contents).
Clearing and inspection done, with no serious problems (One SON officer took a wall bar shower off my container for "testing". Never got it back!).

Total fees paid:
$5400 for 40 footer
N1.5M clearing fees (plus truck driver and demurrage after 3 days of grace)
N30,000 to offload container at a secure location near TinCan
N15,000 to daily hire port hands to offload the container into smaller trucks under my watchful eye at 7AM.
N150,000 for 2 / 3 smaller trucks to transport my items to my location in Lagos (Optional. I did not want the attention generated from a container arrival)
N10,000 my local guys to offload trucks into property.

6PM done, showered, sipping a cold drink.

Caveat - this is my example. I have heard horror stories, especially regarding fees assessed, satanic clearing agents and missing items. You decide.

Awesome performances! Mama Onyeka rocked it!!
