Why Lagos? Instead of buying in Onisha here, well if you go ahead to buy in Lagos make sure you have you custom papers, but the seller will never give you custom papers because, they don't have it, you have to take the original receipt to custom office for them to give you the paper, or look for One Army officer and pay him up to 50k to bring it back for you.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. How car the shuttle bus be registered with Customs for them to provide paper-work?
What are the procedures?
And what might it cost?

The shuttle bus will be majorly used in Lagos.
But I am mindful that a situation might arise that could warrant to drive it to the East and then back to Lagos.

Many thanks for your feedback.

What to do - No Custom's documents for Shuttle Buses?


I am here at Ladipo, Lagos - trying to buy a shuttle bus.
The budget for this is between 1.5 to 2.0.

I asked the sellers about Custom's documents - that I need to
verify the custom's paper regarding payment of duties on the bus before
buying any. I do not want to have any problems with Nigerian customs.

I have been just told - by multiple sellers at Ladipo - that they do not give
Custom's papers for shuttle buses; that shuttle buses are imported into the country as spare parts,
and then assembled in Nigeria. That the only documents I will receive are receipts
and change of ownership documents.


I understand that the shuttle buses come as spare parts ...

Questions:
(1) But what if I run into customs guys and they ask about custom's papers?
(2) What if I go to register the shuttle bus to get plate number and other documents and they ask about custom's paper?
(3) What if I drive the shuttle bus from Lagos to Anambra - how am I going to handle Custom's guys?

Guys with experience, please I need your advice. I don't want to be at the mercy of Custom's people.
I am afraid that the shuttle bus risk being impounded, so a big risk of losing 1.5 - 2.0 in the future.


Thanks!

I recently got a tokunbo (never driven in Nigeria before) toyota truck in Lagos and want to send it to Anambra.

At the moment, the truck only has purchase receipts, customs paper and change of ownership documents.
Vehicle license, plate number, road worthiness, vehicle insurance and related documents will be processed in Anambra subsequently, as the truck will be used in Anambra.

I am looking at the best way to get this truck from Lagos to Anambra without facing extortion and harrassment from Police officers, customs, FRSC and road touts.

Someone told me that he has been delivering tokunbo cars from Lagos to Abuja - and that he can deliver this car to the East without any issues. However, I think delivering from Lagos to Abuja, and delivering from Lagos to the East are different issues altogether.
So, I still think the driver of the tokunbo truck will be a big victim of extortion and harrassment.

My people - what options are available for delivering this truck from Lagos to Anambra without facing any harrassment and extortion?

Hello Nairalanders,
Hope you all are doing well. I am not new here, but just opening a new account to ask this question.

I am 25 yrs old male and living in the South East of Nigeria. Finished OND, and had been doing nothing.
My Uncle yesterday called me and asked me if I could go into a haulage business - something like buying a mini truck, like toyota dyna truck and using it for delivering goods to people, something like a small haulage business.

I spoke to one of my friends who drives Uber in Lagos - he told me it's a good idea; that I could buy a toyota dyna and then deliver goods to people. He also suggested that I could attach myself to a building materials market - after Customers buy their goods, I could charge them based on the quantity of goods and the delivery distance. He also said it will be better to get a direct tokumbo, mini truck not yet driven in Nigeria.
Maybe double tires at the back. That probably we could get it in Lagos. I hope I can get one in Lagos and then take it down to South East for Business.

My brothers and sisters - it's my uncle wanting to help me, so I have some questions:

(1) Where could one get a good toyota dyna truck in a good condition, not yet driven in Nigerian roads, in Lagos? It is not new but has to be in a good condition. Ideally double tires at the back.

(2) Someone suggested Ladipoja in Lagos. How can I get it at Ladipoja considering that I don't know anyone there?

(3) What is the price range of such a truck in Lagos - second hand in a good condition, not yet driven in Nigeria.

(4) I heard some use diesel, some use petrol. Which one is better?

(5) What are the steps one can use to ensure that one buys a truck in a very good condition? How do I select a mechanic that will inspect and certify the truck before payment?

(6) What should the mechanic be looking for? Only the Engine? How can I ensure tha the mechanic is telling me the truth?

(7) What paperwork should I process after payment before taking the truck to South East?

(cool I am a newbie, so I may not have asked all relevant questions. So any tips would be highly appreciated.

I hope someone can help you too. I hope my Uncle's promise will come to fruition.
