Politics / Re: Wike Erects Bola Tinubu Billboards All Over Rivers State by kashoggi: 10:50am On Feb 01, 2023
Ezeama400:


1993 election shows how tribalistic northerners are.. I want you to go and study 1993 election once again when we had 30 states before creation of additional 6 that made it 36..After the study, juxtapose it with today's additional states in the north and south, you will find out that a political novice like Tofa Defeated a political guru like Abiola in the NE and NW put together..
What really saved Abiola was the strong support he got from middle belt, entire SW,4 SS states and Anambra state..

Abiola got those votes because Nigerians especially southerners and Christians were so desperate for democracy, not even minding who's on the ballot..

You made reference of 1999 election , No it's not true..No northerner contested election in 1999, it was between Obasanjo and Falae.. Then in 2003 when Buhari came in, northerners started with tribalism they are known for, that's why Buhari defeated Obasanjo in the NE and NW , what saved Obasanjo was middle belt and entire southern Nigeria.. Infact Buhari has been winning NE and NW election from 2003 till 2019 when he won second term ... I forgot to tell you that Buhari also defeated Jonathan in the core north in 2011.. What saved Jonathan is still the same NC and entire southern Nigeria

Now Buhari is out, they have switched to another demi northern god, probably Kwankwaso or Atiku..

Core northerners are very tribalistic, Obasanjo knew this hence his refusal to form any alliance with them.. Obasanjo allies are SE, SS NC and SW... Obasanjo never had any strong ally in the core north because he understands the way they play politics...
But Tinubu is claiming to be wise hence forming alliance with core north that despise anything south, but he will learn his lesson in a bitter way ..
Who told u Atiku is not trustworthy ?.. Even in your village there are some people you quarell with, that doesn't mean that you will support an outsider if those people you have issue with in the village come to attack those your people..This is the mentality of core northerners..

Let me summarise it for u...

No southerner can become/ win the president of Nigeria without having a regional base .. Majority of southerners must support you before you emerge

Southern Nigeria has 17 states

Abiola won 11 states out of 17

Obasanjo won 17 out of 17

Jonathan won 16 out of 17

Now how many states can Tinubu win in the south?
If Tinubu cannot win up to Ten states in the south then he can never win the president of this country...

Election is next month, let's watch and see

Lol. I wish you could see me face to face and say all this. NMS 05 till NMS 2010 did not go to unit. NMS 05 were giving army number but a signal from DHQ or AHQ withdrawn changed the whole story. An NMS 05 went to a military hospital and tender his army number, did you believe the number was active which simply means some idiots are eating their pay while this sets were asked to go to their fathers house. Anyway, I'm glad it's back and the first set are in Infantry and Armor

NYSC / Re: Do Military Men Go For NYSC? by kashoggi: 12:48pm On Nov 18, 2020
Let me contribute on this NMS issue.

Up to 1976, when you joined NMS you are issued with a Nigerian Army no, 63NA in those days, which makes you a soldier from day1
From 1977 NMS started issuing it's numbers but on passing out (graduation), but you were issued with an Army number and ID and posted to a unit. While at NMS you got monthly stipends courtesy of the Nigerian Army after passing out and reporting to your unit you are enrolled in the NA payroll and start receiving your salary as a private soldier. For some this ends up being a career path for others they proceed to NDA meanwhile others proceed to Universities. You remain on the NA payroll while at the University and are expected to report back during every holiday and on graduation. From here other paths to commission( becoming an officer) open up.

This is how it used to be, not sure if this holds true today.

So even though graduates choose to go for NYSC, it is technically illegal for them to do so because they are expected to be back in their unit.

Autos / Re: Basic Steps Involved In Clearing Vehicles At Tincan Island Port --- 2020 by kashoggi: 10:49am On Aug 17, 2020
Very informative.
So what criteria do they use to determine what a "new car" is that incurs 35% levy ? Mileage, year of manufacture or something else?
It seems ambiguous

fideBABA:
Ordinarily, clearing a car from the PORTS should be an easy and largely automated task as it's usually done in other advanced part of the world. However, it is plagued with bureaucracies, system downtime, crowd of people to struggle against and dangerous traffic on Apapa roads to contend with when clearing in Lagos.

Individuals are usually restricted from handling their clearing jobs themselves. Only licensed clearing agencies get online access and access cards to do the job. This does not mean it is not possible for an individual to clear a car personally. However, they will still need the assistance of a licensed clearing agency at one point or the other.

Today, I will be sharing this interesting article and will be taking us through the basic steps involved in clearing a car at the Pprt.

1. Get the vehicle’s Bill of Lading:

It will be sent to you by your foreign shipping agent. They can send the original bill of lading through courier services (DHL, FedEx, etc). Alternatively you can opt for it to be sent to you via email if you want to do “Telex Release” or “Print at Destination” in which a copy of the Bill of Lading can be printed here in Nigeria.

Please know that, without any of the above mentioned documents, it is impossible to do anything in respect of clearing your vehicle. The Bill of Lading contains the information of the vehicle you want to clear e.g the model, year, VIN/Chasis number, weight, name of vessel, port of origin, port of discharge as well as the details of the shipper abroad as well as the name of the consignee who will receive the vehicle in Nigeria.

2. Apply for import duty valuation:

The application must be on the letter head paper of a Registered and Licensed Custom Clearing Agency. A copy of the bill of lading will be attached to the application letter which will be addressed to the Nigeria Custom office e.g TINCAN, PTML Command etc. Unfortunately, individuals cannot apply for this valuation directly, so you have to apply for it through a clearing agency.

In response to the application letter which will be submitted physically, the Customs officials will write the dollar($) value of the vehicle and this value is what is used to calculate the surface duty which is 35%. Additional 35% levy is charged on brand new vehicles which makes it 70%.
This is how to calculate the surface duty assuming the dollar rate of a car is $4000.

$4000 X 35% (import duty rate) X #361(Custom official Dollar exchange rate) = #505,400

Note: This value is just the surface duty and you’ll still have to pay for Tax, Surcharge...etc which will make the TOTAL DUTY #697,957.
Terminal, Shipping and other charges will also be paid, it varies depending on the size of the car and it's content.


3. Input the valuation into the custom server:

After getting the valuation from the custom command, the details will have to be input into the custom server. This is officially called “Direct Trader Input (DTI)”. However, it is popularly referred to as[b] “Punching”[/b]. It is the unique procedure for submitting electronic manifest to Nigeria Custom Service and it can only be done through the same registered agency whose letter head paper was used to apply for the valuation. The Tax Identification Number (TIN) of the consignee will also be needed at this stage.

Upon completion, print the DTI also called “Assessment Notice” as well as SGD (Single Goods Declaration Form). The SGD gives a description of the transaction e.g type of vehicle, the terminal it is located, duty amount and content of the car if anything is loaded in it.

4. Pay import duty:

The import duty has to be paid to the bank that was stated while punching. The document needed by the bank for import duty payment is the assessment notice.

After the payment is made, the bank will issue a bank receipt. Some banks now accept online payment (GTB) but evidence of payment will still be picked up from their branch.


5. Physical inspection and releasing from customs:

Collate all the documents and submit them to the custom office. The required documents are: bank receipt, assessment notice, SGD, valuation copy and Billl of Lading. Upon submission, the documents are registered then they’ll schedule the vehicle for physical examination. This will enable them sight the car and confirm that it tallies with the submitted documents.

They confirm the make, year and VIN/chassis number of the vehicle. They will also check the amount paid for duty and confirm if there is any load in the vehicle after which a report will be submitted to the releasing officer. At this point, the vehicle may not be released if the amount paid is less than the required import duty as an[b] “Alert[/b]” may have been placed on that vehicle until the outstanding is paid.


6. Print exit at the Terminal:

After releasing, proceed to the Terminal with the SGD to print exit copy, you can print this with the C-Number on the custom document if you like. This is the simplest of all the processes.


7. Release from Shipping Company:

Collate all your ocuments to get the car released from the shipping company. The required documents include signed Original Bill of Lading, SGD, Exit copy and signed copy of the consignee’s identity (e.g Drivers Licence, International Passport, National ID and duly stamped/signed Certificate of Incorporation for companies). You also need a copy of the Form C30 (Custom document that permits clearing agencies to operate) and an authority letter from the agency whose details was used to apply for valuation. The shipping company will check all these documents then give an assessment to pay for shipping and terminal charges which can be paid as cash, through POS or online transfer.

8. Sign Gate at Custom Office:

Proceed to register and sign at the gate office. The custom release document and the Exit copy from the shipping company will be needed. They will check the duty paid and verify it on the system. After which, the officer in charge will stamp and sign-off your document.

9. Collect TDO (Terminal Delivery Order):

To collect the TDO, the shipping company’s payment receipt and copy of the signed gate document are required.

10. Receive delivery of the vehicle at the floor:

Documents can now be submitted for the vehicle to be delivered to the open floor ready to cross the final Exit gate.


11. Final custom check:

At the floor, a custom officer and a shipping company official will do their final checks before the car drives out of the port.


12. Final fees:

Before the vehicle is driven out of the gate, final fees will be paid to custom officers on duty, clearing agent’s association, omo-onile fees etc.

Don’t forget to like, rate and share.


Note:These steps are subject to change without notice and may vary from one shipping line or terminal to another. We used cars shipped through Grimaldi and Sallaum RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) as case study for this write up.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Macdonald In China Apologizes For Saying Blacks Not Allowed In Their Restaurant by kashoggi: 2:40pm On Apr 16, 2020
Unfortunately racial bias is inherent in all of us.
This example from China is not unique to that country unfortunately.

"More than 8,000 Starbucks coffee shops in the US closed their doors for racial bias training on Tuesday, in what the company said “isn’t a solution, it’s a first step” as it sought to rebuild its damaged reputation.
Starbucks announced the training after two black men were arrested in one of the company’s Philadelphia cafes in April. Staff had called the police, accusing the men of trespassing, despite them explaining they were in the store for a business meeting."

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/may/29/starbucks-coffee-shops-racial-bias-training

This is a country that has had a "black" man as president. If we research well enough, we would find similar cases of varying degrees all over the world. You can have all the money in the world, if they want to disgrace you as a person of color, they will

Personally, i would rather know you don't like me upfront so we can base our relationship on that fact than a pretext you do. I am under no illusions that all the people i meet like me as an individual or for my race.

In Louisiana, one of the states most devastated by the coronavirus, about 70 percent of the people who have died are African-American, officials announced on Monday, though only a third of the state’s population is black.

In the county around Milwaukee, where 27 percent of residents are black, nearly twice as many African-American residents tested positive for the virus as white people, figures released this week show.

And in Chicago, where African-American residents make up a little less than a third of the population, more than half of those found to have the virus are black. The death toll there is even more alarming: African-American residents make up 72 percent of those who have succumbed to the virus in Chicago.

Crime / Re: Woman Stabs Male Neighbour To Death In Lagos For Playfully Touching Her by kashoggi: 10:47am On Jan 18, 2020
BluntBoy:


You people should stop abusing the word self-defense.

The summary of the police report stated she stabbed the man because he would not stop touching her waist. There was nowhere it implied that she felt that her life was at anytime in danger. She stabbed him out of anger, not in self-defense.

This does not even remotely sound like a legal homicide. Although it is more of voluntary manslaughter than murder.

There may be an underlining trauma she previously suffered which could have started from being touched like that. We can't know what went through her head at that time. It's unfortunate

All I know is people hate men of God and can even kill them if given the opportunity.

Finally, God is the ultimate Judge.
I hereby rest my case.

I don't think people hate men of God, they are just being held to a higher standard. They are supposed to be the moral compass for millions of persons thus are expected to carry themselves in a manner whereby even the probable cause of the current case will not arise.
