Another reason to extend payment of salaries. State funds was used to host him.
Dickson is a very foolish man. Someone who called former First lady from Bayelsa names is who he's making an ambassador.

I dey vex for all these kidnappers sef. List of people plenty wey they for dey carry.

Presently I don't think Seriake and the first lady are on good terms hence the award to Soyinka to pepper her.

sheffyUTD:
Oga, I provide clearing service, I am neither CG of customs nor Minister of Finance. Please forward your complain to the right place. We as agents body have been fighting it, join us.

Kindly answer with a breakdown of the official fees and your own fee too.

Agents are not shady people because it seems you've closed your eyes to all that had been explained above. Well, I'll take the pains to teach you again and if you still think otherwise, you can also spare around N30million NAIRA to setup your DTI, register it with customs and ministry of finance ,get agents to work with you and start processing duties too.

No one has discredited the man,neither have we said that the calculation is wrong but what we have said is as follows :-

1. When your car gets to the port and you contact your agent, he goes into a DTI to capture and also write an application to the valuation unit .

2 . The valuation unit already has a template like the one I'll still show below. The template is an assumed dollar rate for each manufacture year of vehicles drawn up by the ministry of finance and downloaded into the database of Nigerian customs.

3. The calculation is now done based on the valuation that your agent is given and it's done when paying to bank because it's machine generated, it's not done by hand. As you pay what the valuations unit has given you, the payslip that the banks give you will be printed out with the calculations on it.

Now, his calculations would've worked if the Nigerian system allows you to declare the amount that each and every person buys his/her vehicle but it doesn't work that way and that's what we've tried to highlight before you came forward to say "agents are shady". Nothing or no one has stopped anyone from been an AGENT,you Cam also leave your job to become one.

The same agents that you're discrediting have been going up and down,from Lagos to Abuja trying to get The Federal government to drop the rates and also bring sanity to the system, do you think if ALNCA and NAGAFF have been sitting idle,government wouldn't have done more than what they've been doing right now. Go on the internet and read about the many times we've always gone on strike because of government policies aimed towards importation and how the borders and ports are operated.

If you do not wish to educate us then let it be. Cartalk forum which I moderate was set up solely for educating one another on issues bordering on cars.

Have a wonderful day.

sheffyUTD:
I believe you read the post from the beginning. I asked him the basis of his calculation and he reference the value OP quoted, fine. The calculation was correct. In the same post, he turned to say that's d duty to be paid for 2015 Camry. That is why I asked him to quote from value chat the value for the car and how he arrived at the quoted duty. If he's in the know of how things work with Nigeria customs, your purchase price don't work for vehicles; except general cargo.

The main motive for asking the question of basis this. To avoid misleading people. Yet, some are already saying corruption fighting back. nobody is trying to discredit him.

For clarity sake, 2015 Camry value on Customs chat is $28k for hybrid and $33,000 for normal. Using the smaller value
I.e

28,000 * 306 (exchange rate) = 8,568,000
@ 35% (surface duty) = 2,998,800
With this total duty is (surface * 1.281) = 3,841,463

Now, for customs to give you 1.5m as surface instead of 2.9m, if they will ever give, how much will they take from valuation unit, releasing officer, gate, Customs Processing Center and others. This is a simple thing I expected when I asked for people to understand. Nobody is trying to rip off or scam anyone.

I hope the shady aspect is not for me sir.

Thanks for the clarification. I never said your are shady. I don't even know if you are an agent! Am only speaking from experience based on what I have gone through.

Thanks for your input once again.

sheffyUTD:
Ignore the guy, it does not worth the argument. By his comments, he's clueless as to how things work at Port. You can only learn when you admit your ignorance, his claim of authority over assumptions is not convincible. This is not A for Apple class.

The guy posted something and you have been trying hard to discredit it.

Give us your own breakdown if you feel his breakdown is incorrect.

Agents are very shady people.

From Onitsha to my compound a distance of about 20kn is all tarred, with no bad portion. My friends from other states Marvels at the goods when they come visiting.

Anambra has the best road network in the SE. But most roads in the SE are terrible!!!

Pls where can I get a good door lock to buy in Lagos?

What happened to all the police dogs that used to be in service in the 80's in Nigeria?

Hunger killed them all.

In 2012, the annual revenue received by Indonesia and Malaysia together, the top two producers of palm oil, was $40 billion.[34] Between 1962 and 1982 global exports of palm oil increased from around half a million to 2.4 million tonnes annually and in 2008 world production of palm oil and palm kernel oil amounted to 48 million tonnes. According to FAO forecasts by 2020 the global demand for palm oil will double, and triple by 2050.

kpaminose:
Wrong. They start from infancy. It's only someone that's a dada that has a law of not touching his head. You got it all mixed up.

Go back and read what I wrote slowly! Then read what you wrote.

49cents:
I have observed with fascination that Churches like Celestial Church of Christ, Cherubim and seraphim and other white garment churches have a good number of their male members and Prophets having natural dreads locally called Dada......they wil even afix small crucifixes within it..

Am I the only one who has seen this?

When you don't cut or groom your hair for a long time it tangles and becomes dreads.

Most white garment members don't cut their kids hair from infancy and as such it tangles.

And when they comb an infant hair and he or she cries too much they take it as a sign that his hair shouldn't be touched.

eyeview:
Sometimes when I look at some of the buildings they tag 'high end properties' in UK or US, I wonder what's special about such cos I have a lot of guys in my village building far more exquisite structures with state of the art facilities sitting on more expansive and sprawling land size.

And how is the road network, light and security situation in your village?

GAZZUZZ:
Excellent choice.

* Rugged engine

* Inexpensive available parts

* Immune to theft/Vandalism.

* Great 2nd hand value

* Easy to fix/maintain by almost any tech

What year for the accent and rio?
