Is RENO really serious?
See Itsekiri man talking crap calling people slaves his people had in captivity. His people that have no legitimate land and defined origin. Probably migrated from Yoruba land to settle in Ijaw & Urhobo land in Warri, land that is still disputed till date.
Itsekiri's are a confused race, most are half Potoki due to the bastardizing vide impregnating of his ilk by drunk colonialists hence the preponderance of half castes in their race.
He should instead clarify how his Itsekiri hamlet are claiming Warri which belongs to Urhobo and Ijaw, and how they have cunningly turned their Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri.
See who is talking! A tribe that only inhabits less than one Local Govt. area is claiming to have dominated major tribes and taken slaves.
Arrant nonsense!!

Pls Reno, if you read this, tell us on how your people have cunningly ursurped the supposed next in line for the Olu throne to a smallie just because he is in-law to a Bini billionaire! Don't you know that he who lives in a glass house doesn't throw stones?

Now they want to suppress our freedom of speech. Brilliant!

Amaechi, bring your son to stand in front of the protest and I will stand beside him. If they indeed postpone the election, won't we vote again whenever they shift it to? You want the children of poor men to die for you. Mgbor pia Kika gi isi! Ewu Congo meat.

[size=16pt]Why is Amaechi still roaming the streets a free man? Shouldnt he called in by the DSS for questioning?

Now they are inciting mutiny by soldiers. When GMB becomes president does Amaechi think the mentality of the already emboldened soldiers will change?

Enough of this APC& PDP nonsense. I don’t belong to any party and won’t waste my time to queue and vote for anybody anyway. The last time I voted in 1992 it didn’t eventually count.

My advice to Nigerian youths; get on with your life. No matter who wins, don’t be used as puppets for violence, killing, maiming, bombing etc the political class doesn’t care about you. All they want is power, and they want it at any cost. I used to have some respect for Buhari as he is seen as a man of integrity but now he is condoning all because he wants power. As a military head of State, doesn’t he know the implication of Amaechi's statement?

Open your eyes Nigerians.[/size]

Hi guys, just picked up my boxes. Both look intact so I doubt if they've been tampered with.

Guys I can categorically confirm to you that my cargo came out today. My shipper just called me to confirm same. Didn't even know they were working today.

I hope this news cheers everyone. Once I lay my hands on it tomorrow will update.

ZACHIE:
Not good news but it must be said since you asked for it.

Customs have decided to double the Duty benchmark hitherto paid on all shipmenst.
Before now, minimum Duty benchmark was 50,000/ shipment of less than 50kgs.
Now that it is doubled, it means you pay 100,000 for any shipment of less than 50kgs regardless of its value/cost. (I will post the intended tariff later on)

And this is beside NAHCO/SAHCOL handling charges, SON/NAFDAC for regulated items, Agency fee and documentation expenses and transportation charges.

Welcome to the changes Olanrewaju brought to the Airport.

Before now, you could arrange to do tarmac pickup for small items and parcels. But with what is coming, you cannot do that.

They may just have killed little businesses with this obnoxious increased benchmark.

Conversely, this might also mean an upsurge in the number of importers doing proper PAAR documentation.

This whole Olanrewaju episode may have been a ruse after all. Seems to me that customs' game plan has always been about doubling their Duty, which importers and clearing agents under the circumstance have seemingly been cornered into accepting and paying.

It's been an amazing time with you guys here. I'm sure this thread will remain open anyway. 

Hopefully there shouldn't be a re-occurrence of such a tormenting and destabilising situation at the airport and even any other area in our dear country be it socio, political, economic etc. Our agitation was properly channelled here and on twitter by those of us that joined the twitter barrage as well. We should be proud of what we've all done (even though we can't say 100% that it was as a result of it the desired result was actualised). I implore us to use the same positive energy to fight the ills in our system. 

Kudos to all (numerous to name), especially r231, Bigtt76, Mr. Mbok(Saintalone), Zachie, Caveatemptor and ZeMadame. Although we (last 3 names mentioned) had altercations somewhere along the line, it was strictly business and nothing personal. Consiglieri Tom Hagen. Lol

Cheers guys!

BREAKING: CGC unseals NAHCO, warns against future unruly behavior.

[size=18pt]BREAKING NEWS!!!

Comptroller General Dikko reopens NAHCO warns agents to avoid unruly behaviour.

Thank God o![/size]

Reports say that the Comptroller General from Abuja is in Lagos and is touring the cargo section of MMIA at the moment.

Fingers crossed.

It's official according to my Customs source. Olanrewaju has been removed and a new Comptroller to resume tomorrow or next and then operations to resume at carrgo terminal afterwards.

Section 145 (1) as stated in the Customs press release, gives the Customs power to examine goods.

ZACHIE:
OLARENWAJU REMOVED FROM THE AIRPORT
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

I heard the news earlier ZACHIE but was sceptical about the source (my shipper's agent) so was reluctant to announce it here.

bdorg:
Hello Guys, I really dont know how it happened but one of my package just arrived about 10mins ago. It was shipped via Fedex. I was completely shocked when my receptionist told me I had a package from Fedex. I rushed downstairs to verify and I was shocked and elated to see my package! I asked the Fedex guy how they did it knowing that the sheds are still shut. He just said they had to go throw 'thick walls' to get it out...

Just to be clear, it doesnt fall in any category of the allowed items (perishables, medicines etc). the package is an electric guitar.

I pray you all expecting your packages would get them sooner than you expect because I really wasnt expecting to see mine.

I am still without you all in the struggle and wait...God bless us all!

As expected, favouritism has come into play. For those who assume that Olanrewaju and Customs might have clear and genuine intentions, what does this tell you?

bigtt76:
Yet another day in wait ...we will remain positive. Our resolve will never be shaken. We will wait the wait ....Good morning guys!

That's the spirit! Today will be a good day.

ZACHIE:


TWITTER would have blown this matter out of Olanrewaju`s reach but how do we make him Trend when
Customs on Twitter seem not to be aware of all the English we have been writing here:

"@nadose: @CustomsNG is the strike over yet?"Who's striking?

https://twitter.com/CustomsNG/status/539410530654765056

I was definitely talking to a conman. I have noticed that the twitter handle you gave (CustomsNG) and the one I contacted (Customsnigeria) are different.

That twitter handle is questionable. I have my doubts if it is indeed Nigerian Customs Official twitter handle. I looked up a number there and called the number listed there for the supposed Comptroller in Seme. The dude started blabbing about helping me to get my cargo out and also mentioned me coming to Seme etc.. I just thought those lines sounded familiar. He may be a con man. I'm not saying he is though. SO guys, you can look up the number on the twitter handle, bombard it with calls and see what you come up with.

I was targeting Mr. Olanrewaju jorr but his picture refused to attach..
Pele, aburo

We are together in this battle ZACHIE. I dont remember being this angry and frustrated in several decades.

.

Just in case someone's doubting again, here's my source for the picture.

http://anlcaupdates.com/2013/august2013/anlca-apologises-to-ptml-command.htm

Nothing meaningful to report. My shipper informed me that Cargo Airlines have suspended shipment MMIA cargo section as there's no space to drop off cargo, hopefully this development should pile more pressure.

I also thought it wise to publish a picture of the evil man here so that we can all place a face to our tormentor and channel our anger and venom appropriately.
