Boss13: @ dutchstar you are funny. You are worried about clearing agent that may lose their jobs. Well the policy will not stop importation of fairly used cars but may discourage buyers from buying fairly used cars due to price hike as a result of increase import duties/tariff

How about jobs that will be created from the establishment of the assembly plants. The overall effect of this plant to the economy will be great. Plus the fact that people would be encouraged to drive brand new car. You cannot compare a brand new car to a tokunbo.

chronique: I wonder why most people are complaining about govt's decision to increase the tariff on imported vehicles. Incase most of you do not know,the cars you guys see as affordable for the masses,are mostly junks(flooded/salvaged/accidented vehicles) shipped in by most importers. A lot of Nigerians can't afford clean title cars being brought into the country. Secondly,manufacturing cars here,would take away at least,350-400k(minimal cost of shipping and clearing) from the cost of purchase. Some parts will be produced here,thereby saving us foreign exchange that would have been spent on importing them. Cost of labour here,would be cheaper than what would be paid for labour cost,in a manufacturing plant in the U.S. By the time you take out the cost of shipping and clearing,the amount saved on foreign exchange from importing several parts that can be made here,and then,deducting what you'd save from cheap labour,you'd understand that it's a win-win case for us. At the long run,you get more value from ur brand new cars than your tokunbo. There are some cars in the market that if you deduct their shipping and clearing charges,they'd amount to 200k-400k. If the price of a brand new one is twice/thrice the amount of a tokunbo(after deducting clearing and shipping charges),it means Nigerians "might" be able to get brand new cars between the ranges of 400k/600k - 800k/1.2m,depending on the quality/class of car you need.

For me,I think it's still a win-win situation for Nigerians.

Cuche: Mr Philips you write well, I was reading your biased write up on Ngige. Was that the reason for demanding I should tell you about Fidelity bank merger? Peter Obi is the greatest thief to emerge from Nigeria, that his criminal agenda was the only reason he schemed out Soludo Solution can't be disputed. Ngige is more intelligent than Obi and his Stooge put together, he is more energetic, Besides he loves his people
You don't need to call anybody illiterate, just present your opinion, somebody might be educated by it Full stop

Sir Cee: The most eligible and qualified candidate for this position is NGIGE.
This is the only man that showed Anambrians that there is money in Anambra state.
And he used the money to achieve a lot,roads, education, agriculture, hospitals,etc
He set a pace by dismantling the so called god fatherism in Anambra state, he suffered a lot of oppressions
and set back, yet he proved that he is a man, within his 34 months, he created an impact
that the past Governors never did. Today, Ngige can walk accross the nooks and crannys
of Anambra state with echos NGIGE, NGIGE NGIGE our man. He set a pace where Peter Obi followed to work.
Anambrians, this is our opportunity to say bye bye to god fatherism, interference from oga at the top,
he was tested and can do it again even better. remember the devil we know is better than the angel we dont know.
What Anambra State needs now is a worthy Governor, trusted and who can deliver and not a sentiment governor
based on the fact that Gov. Peter Obi will compensate east,west north or south.
This state is for all of us and we must look beyond sentiment and vote for the right candidate now.
NGIGE is the right candidate.

jchime: Sylvester is not recognised as one of ojukwus children.

Don Magic Juan: On a serious note, no single investor will want to invest in northern Nigeria for a whole lot of reasons.
Even in the Niger-Delta oil firms are de-investing on-shore and concentrating offshore.
This is one reason coupled with oil theft and vandalization that oil revenues have dropped.

Now picture northern Nigeria today with Boko Haram. Which firm other than an Arab oil company with Arab expats may be tolerated by Muslim fanatics but [b]there is no such thing as Arab oil workers [/b]as most of the drilling is done by american, European and Indonesian drillers.

Now after you drill the oil, you need to ship it. The most ideal route will be through Kogi and Ondo. Saboteurs will ensure that this pipeline is constantly vandalized. And who will these saboteurs be? Well the same people who if they don't get their way will always cause trouble; The Tinibus, IBBs, Buharis, etc.

jonniegill: Over 65% of the people in onitsha are not indigenes of onitsha, that's why indigenes hardly become chairmen of the LGS in onitsha. So if the Obi cannot use his influence to make onitsha indigenes as chairmen of their own logal govt, Ђơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ω can he stop Ngige?

Idi Amin: And who is Obi of onitsha? Does he have two heads? Why must everything about Ngige be politicized? A culti*st and ritual*ist placing a curse on an innocent man is simply the biggest joke of the century. As if the so called gods of the land are listening to him.mtcheeeeeew

oluboyo04: my brother, this is one of the prices that you and i must pay to allow for meaningful development in our dear country. no car manufacturer will ever invest in nigeria considering the rate at which tokunbo cars are flowing in. this ban will pave way for made in Nigeria cars as some car manufacturing companies have shown interest to invest in Nigeria only the govt can stop the inflow of tokunbo cars.

Carsonv: I thought someone might still keep in perspective the economic reason for the new regulationn

The Winners as pointed out by the op would actually be winners if the govt doesn't fortify our Cotonou borders. Asides that, it's a good thing for our economy.

We already have some assemblies in the country. And for those troubled by the fact that we'll be driving cars that are still budding in technology lyk IVM, remember Japan's technology didn't just blossom. After WW2, they started making small knives called 'okapi'. Today they're making things we(Nigeria) could only wish we could make.

Let's make the sacrfice, stop importing Tokunbo cars. Buy the tear-rubber cars made in Nigeria. For those who wanna keep making money selling cars, you can go into dealership for these Made in Nigeria cars afterall that's the essence of the regulation...to create market for the MiN cars. By that the manufacturerrs will continue to improve until we start exporting cars.

It's good for us as a Nation, it's good for our economy!

NB: If you still no wan gree my advise, go import Camry 2003 model and sell it for N3Million against a MiN car salon car selling for N800k....#the numbers aint real but I'm sure you get the idea#

babyhrt: [b][/b]hmmmm.God bless Gej n his leadership style.u dnt understand cos u r nt a leader.great leaders lead with vision n lead in prospective...by 2mro wen Nigeria jus like south starts producing its own brand of cars,d over all benefit to our economy will nt in any way b compared to dis outcry by a few on dis forum who cannot see byond 2day.it might b painful bt its worth it.

360command: This is a good plan if govt are to finalize the ban on importation of tokunbo(second hand) cars in Nigeria. With time, there will be car reduction of second hand cars on the street as various alternative of transportation(public) starts increasing with lots of people using it(we hope the govt improves the public transportation to cater for the increased masses). Also, it paves way for automobile industry to come into the Nigerian market and start manufacturing cars, buses etc. just like what is happening in Mexico.

We should put in mind that with this ban, air pollution and noise pollution on our streets and environs will be at a reduction.

Akpa ife: @OP respect ur president u evil citizen u dnt see d good one only d bad one
This is why our leaders dnt pity us after reading ur senseless topic

ghettodreamz: I'm I the only one that noticed one common feature they all shared?

Marital status; Married

More like being married also helped them got where they were today..

God, let your will be done in my life.

For every successful man, there is a woman, wives of truck pushers are??

Sterling Towers: Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija the fourth richest person in Africa. She is quiet and unassuming unlike some loud mouth noveau riches thronging about with stolen quids

lol, imagine getting an oil block by virtue of being friends with Ibb's wife, lol,

yet NPDC has less than 120,000bbls of oil to call its own to boost our refinning capacity,
Nigeria is a joke!

gymnasium: my dear go and seek for ifeanyi ubah's manifesto and stop blabbing what you dont know ooh! is that what they sent you to say, to call an aspiring governor an empty skull ? woe betide you if you keep slandering your fellow human being for no personal reason not too long and nemesis will catch up with you coscharis! !!! coscharis !!! what do you know about the deal between the duos nwokem support the youth jare and anambra will breath a breathe of fresh air thank you

gymnasium: do you really believe in the biblical meaning of brotherhood or you're just one of those fanatics that spend more time putting illustrious personalities into social mesmerisation please stop soiling peoples image for your own good

olatiler: U must be stupid, this is only Governor in this country that survive 18 good month without FG allocation and still he owe no worker and more developmental project was going on

Sery777: don't mind them,instead of saying their area they said ph.

Kennysazzy: I know that pilot very well he lives 3 houses to mine Captain Yakubu is 1 of the best in Nigeria, that man is so cool and easy going, he fly's international and chattered flights only, OUR LIFES ARE IN GOD HAND. ONLY GOD IS THE GREAREST PILOT.

bukatyne: What do you expect when we have no functional labor union?

Danhumprey: This isn't about disbursement. This is about ensuring that the money disbursed is used well and for the purpose for which it was disbursed. We don't want to hear of embezzlement or that the money was laundered or that part of the money was directed to private pockets.
