This is the comprehensive answer I expect and I think the poster expected also.

But Siena, within what time frame will these negative effects happen? If the car stay 2, 3 or 6 months on the ship/in the port? Dont think that 6 months is far-fetched. This is naija

promise72:
no effect. Its not different from you parking your car in the house without driving for a long time.

Why then do they advise special comprehensive washing and waxing if you live near the sea? or is it just a hoax?

Is babeisme back in business as a car dealer or exchange rates monitor?

for real!!!! I'm loosing a whole whole lot on my previous deals too due to the fall in naira value! it's crazy!
and about Grimaldi, i just heard of them yesterday and the fact that they are never affected by the congestion. So now, i'll have to make better choices for shipping!
whatever the case may be, my customers know that their cars arrived in exactly 2 weeks and the only reason for this is because of the festive December!!! God is on the throne and by God's grace, it'll be over soon!

MSC MSC everywhere----damn!!!

Past experiences reveal Grimaldi gives one the run-around on ship out date-----could even be 2-3months, but clearing is done fast. I surely hope port officials work diligently to reduce this madness at Tincan.

Quote from jenju: on Yesterday at 04:39:53 PM

You are quite correct regarding the run-around on ship out date. It is basically first in first out, and you may need to pull strings at the port to get your vehicle appropriately promoted. The uncertainty is usually with their RORO where your car could sit at the port for months if you don't do the needed due delligence.  As far as containers, my experience has been good, they usually leave when i get the booking.

@ babeisme
The bolded parts are relevant. Look before you leap. don't sack your current shipper yet. This is a force majure situation.

Presidency orders NIPSS to graduate Ribadu, Briggs

The Presidency on Monday directed the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) to immediately release graduation certificates for the Senior Executive Course certification to former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commision (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and another participant, Mr. Allen Briggs who were prevented from participating in the graduation ceremony of the institute held at the weekend. Meanwhile, the Federal Government has denied any involvement in the last weekend's saga, directing the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Alhaji Yayale Ahmed to "investigate the circumstances of Mallam Ribadu's removal from the graduation venue and report back to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan." Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President (Media and Publicity), Mr. Ima Niboro said in a statement on Monday that "it (Federal Government) gave no such directive that Mallam Ribadu or any other person be barred from the NIPSS graduation." The Vice President's office oversees the NIPSS.

i sell my cars cheap because i believe in toro toro better than kobo kobo (as my mumsy says). i don't know if thats right but hey my yoruba is not so sharp!

Your mumsy no say so. I know her. Reverse is the correct saying. Next time you commit error like this, I will ask the moderator to order that all your adverts should be done in yoruba, otherwise ban

That was the ODD and EVEN number days driving policy.

Cars with Odd numbers can come to Central Lagos on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Even number cars on Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Provisions were made for cars to park around the National theater and you can join a "park and ride" bus to Lagos.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

Chei, people don old o. See how somebody recollect 1970s policy effortlessly with graphic details.

Bababuff, which car you dey use then? Morris Marina or Ford Escort?

@babeisme
Hope my own dey among. Where did you keep the iphones? In the pigeon-hole or the trunk? I don't want my boys - the wharf-rats to sweat too much before finding them.

@all
Start pre-ordering for iphones with me now. Very limited quantity available. Delivery will start 14-15 days after December 2nd. email area.father@wharfrats.apapaport.ng

@ jp philips post #9 above

You made good points but spoiled the post by personalising it and using unnecessary strong language.

babeisme:
Hi all, due to a large amount of pre-orders, babeisme is limiting the free iphone to orders 2m and above. Watch out for more promos ahead.
Thanks

Shifting the goal-post during the match? no way. my order is just 750k and I must collect the iphone. No I dont want the iphone again, upgrade it to samsung omnia 900i. I am waiting.

I don't know when the hosting right was given to Nigeria but if it was during Obasanjo's tenure that means it's almost a year and half ago so why the sudden realization of it financial implications.

The hosting right was given to Nigeria in Egypt in 2006 suprisingly by CAF not FIFA. Nigeria did not bid for it. We went to Egypt to bid for hosting of African Cup of Nations (ACON) in 2010 to coincide with our golden jubilee celebration. CAF awarded what we bidded for to Angola and went ahead to also award the 2012 and 2014 editions to other 'minnow' countries. To placate us, it gave us U-17 tournament which we neither publicly accept nor reject at the time. Remember that Nigeria was the only bidding country for the ACON then that its President guarantee government support but it made no impression on the CAF exco.

Anyway all is well. Nigeria govt has reversed its decision not to host the world tournament.

But is this 2007 model? Someone pls enlighten me.

Lucille is the new HOH though it may be of no consequence since there is not likely to be nominations on monday otherwise one of the evicted housemates that will return from the rubbish dump will automatically be exempted.

If big brother allows nominations, it will be unfair because unlike last year when ofunneka and kwaku that got the least nomination votes were fake evicted, this week nominees were validly nominated.

Nigeria is a temperate country and considering the fact that leather need lots of care otherwise they crack and get really ugly. Many people don't seem to know what it takes to keep up a leather interior.

Nigeria is a tropical country not temperate. We don't have winter, that is why we need guaranteed high performing air cooler [aka factory fitted].

People ask for car with leather seats because of some direct correlation between leather seat and availability of luxury options which come as standard with such trims. Of course I agree with you that such wish should be backed by ability and willingness to pay. That is called effective demand.

Do we have non-factory fitted aircon passed off as factory fitted? Are u kidding? Dealers (unscrupulous ones) buy value package trim vehicles and fit them with ac may be at Cotonou or oju or even etielegba and tell you they are Special Edition.

Holier-than-thou Lucille used the same F word she cried over when Uti did same and she got a subtle threat from big brother.

After spending almost two weeks in the House, Lucille sees her Diary Sessions as no game for the kids.
She says her worst nightmare in the House are the times she confronts the faceless man with a husky voice – Big Brother.

Lucille says she finds “the whole Big Brother Africa III experience so f****d up. How cold and unfair is that [speaking to Biggie]?”

Speaking to Munya in the bedroom Lucille says she can’t understand why Big Brother insists on finding out from each Housemate what happened the previous day yet he watches them everyday.

She questions what more does he want he to know because he’s privileged to the ‘ins’ of the House 24/7. Lucille says rather than chatting to Big Brother she’d prefer writing a journal to give feedback to the general public about her activities in there.

She says what also "pisses her off" about the Diary Sessions is that she doesn’t feel any interaction with him at all. As a result she doesn’t look at the camera they were told to focus on when addressing him in that tiny room with an orange couch because the whole experience sucks.

“I feel no connection at all …and it feels very strange and very intimidating”.

Well enough said Lucille… it remains to be seen how long the self declared Big Brother ‘hater’ is going to last in the House.

Pls give more info like when the car will be available in Nigeria. Also price will allow pple to decide if it is worth their while to pursue further negotiation with you afterall you want only serious buyers. _{are there unserious buyers?}

Biggie’s Stern Warning to the Housemates!

At 4:26 pm today, Big Brother called the Housemates into the lounge and issued them a stern warning!

His words:

“Big brother would like to issue an extremely stern warning to housemates regarding nudity in the house. Big Brother will only tolerate nudity in the Big Brother Africa house in the bathroom or bedrooms, and only when natural and appropriate.”

He continued unequivocally: “This also applies to underwear, which may only be shown or worn in the bathroom or bedroom. Swimming costumes may be worn when swimming. Any breaking of these rules in future will result in severe punishment.”

Big Brother’s strict warning was followed by a punishment to the Housemates. They were asked to clean up the House for one hour.

Olugbon01, please give us some suggestions of an ideal place for a christian to work.

Barbing salon, Redemption Camp, Cannan Land.

But christain should not sell recharge cards because men send 'credits' to their illicit lovers. Not work in telecoms companies because sinners use phones to set up sinful appoinments and dates.

DZ, no mind them jare, i'm glad that we are having more intellectuals among us. The car doesn't cost up to 4.3m for brand new at HONDA'S PLACE,if klas and Josboy think because of the hussle to bring one to Nigeria should make the price that high, too bad and mind you JOSBOY, this is Nigerian registered NOT cleared at the port, God dey sha and MAGA must pay like they say, lol

Bugybugy, read my post again. I was also asking a question if we are being ripped off.

But my beef with DZ  in that post relates to what I noticed in this auto section. Pple hardly criticised adverts by the "big" nairaland dealers but will pounce on perceived one off dealer. Why should 2006 Accord be advertised for almost N3m without a whimper from anyone but the newer version attract negative comment.

Perhaps somebody can take up the intellectual challenge of giving us detail breakdown of what the advertised vehicles actually should cost all inclusive. Somebody told me that the $ price on the net is as misleading as quoting airfare net of taxes when we know that taxes on airticket are usually hefty. How true this is, I don't know. Is tax on car in US really that much that it can account for huge price differential when converted to naira as we are seeing here?

Do you also notice that NL dealers hardly state the trim (LX, EX, EX-L etc) of Honda cars? just the nebulous "American spec". yet trim level should be a factor in pricing.

inspired_m:
[The Pre Order Arrangement is way Cheaper because lots of overhead Costs like Rents / Space, Security, Labour, Day to Day Cleaning of the Car etc won't be included in the Final Price.
Your car would be [b]delivered to your door Straight from the Port. With Pre Orders you save hundreds of thousands.

Nevertheless My Cash & Carry Cars are still your best alternatives if you can't wait for 30 - 45 days, We give the Best Prices[/b]

Hope doorstep delivery include outside Lagos destinations and at whose risk? Sent you a mail last Friday

DeepZone:
The same full loaded standard is sold[b] new[/b] in the US for $26500 and that's about N2.9M, how come you are selling one with 5400 miles for N4.7M?

DZ, like how much do you think this car is worth in Nigeria because Honda Place sells 2008 Accord at almost double the price you quoted. Not saying you are wrong with the $ price, I have also seen that on the net but even on other threads here, 2006/2007 Accord are being offered for N3m and over which I cant recall you reacting against. Are we being ripped off?

Which one is more expensive? This pre order arrangement or cash and carry. I am asking with specific reference to you not on general principle.
