Live and Let Die

(but I keep telling people I have seen it)

After 72 hours with this impressive machine, I have to say BIG Thank You to German007.

During the entire transaction, his high level of transparency, continuous feedback and remarkable customer service is not only commendable but worthy of emulation by other dealers.

I have only met this impressive young man thrice; this was even after I sent him money for the car.

My new car is a thing of beauty gotten at a bargain.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone who intends to get a great car at a good price.

Judging by the headlight and fog-lights, this is is a pre-2000 BMW E46.

Nice ride though,

Yoruba Pips dey hate on this guy wella, Chill for the homie now, If you watched the match yesterday,you would have noted that he was the only exceptional player in a Chelsea jersey,only over shadowed by Schneider,He had over 78 accurate passes while Ballack managed only 17, Give the guy a break i guess if his name was Ajayi Oluwasegun,we would be saying something different here. No be fight,oh, Just my opinion    

The unfortunate fact that you have access to a computer and internet doesn't mean you should reply all posts.

I hope your JSSCE result is out

What a misleading header. so money should not be disbursed for projects, or what are you insinuating ?

I have been a Nigerian long enough to tell the signs.

When you disburse money under headings like "urgent national development projects", it is definitely a ploy to embezzle the "common wealth".
Where are the so called projects, is it power generation or road repair?
I am not averse to being lied to, but a poor lie insults my intelligence.

I am honestly sick and tired of these people, but I don't know what to do about them.

* Jonathan has approved total of $3 bln in disbursals

* Minister says funds meant for "emergency projects"

(Adds background)

By Camillus Eboh

ABUJA, March 12 (Reuters) - Nigeria's Acting President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday approved the disbursal of a further $1 billion from the country's windfall oil savings, leaving about $4.1 billion in the account, government officials said.

The move brings to $3 billion the total amount of Nigerian oil savings that Jonathan has approved for disbursal to the country's 36 states and government agencies since he took over as acting leader just over a month ago.

It also reduces the level of the OPEC member's windfall oil savings to less than a quarter of where they stood in 2007, when President Umaru Yar'Adua's administration took over at the helm of sub-Saharan Africa's second-biggest economy.

Minister of State for Finance Remi Babalola told reporters the disbursal was meant to fund "urgent national development" projects, but gave no further details.

"The additional $1 billion was distributed today among the three tiers of government for some specific projects so these projects are executed before the rainy season," Babalola said after a meeting of the committee which allocates the funds.

Jonathan has said maintaining peace in the Niger Delta, where years of underinvestment have fuelled militant attacks on the oil industry, improving Nigeria's power supply and fighting corruption are among his top priorities.

Nigeria saves any oil revenue above a benchmark price into the account, a pillar of IMF-backed reforms launched in 2003 meant to help insulate it from volatility in global oil prices.

Jonathan took over as Nigeria's acting head of state on Feb. 9 because of the ill-health of President Umaru Yar'Adua, who recently returned from three months treatment for a heart ailment in a Saudi hospital but remains too sick to govern.

Yar'Adua's return raised fears of a power struggle at the top of Africa's most populous nation if his closest aides tried to maintain their influence by trying to sideline Jonathan.

Jonathan's previous disbursal a month ago of $2 billion from the windfall oil savings to the three tiers of government came days after he took on executive powers with the support of the powerful state governors, parliament and the cabinet.

His critics said the disbursal appeared to be an attempt to quieten those who might otherwise seek to undermine him, a charge government and presidency officials have strongly denied.

The excess crude account stood at over $20 billion when Yar'Adua took over in 2007 but his administration regularly dipped into the account, raising concern about Nigeria's commitment to fiscal discipline.

Babalola said the latest disbursal would be credited to the accounts of the various tiers of government by March 16. (For more Reuters Africa coverage and to have your say on the top issues, visit: af.reuters.com/ ) (Writing by Nick Tattersall; Editing by Ruth Pitchford)

Can't you take a joke?

The Car You Drive…



Alfa
Passionate and romantic, you fancy yourself.  A bit unreliable, and can be eccentric too.  You hate BMW drivers, but think and act just like them.





Audi
You would like to believe you are part of the new generation that is caring, environmentally conscious and family-orientated.  Actually quite boring; nothing more than a glorified wuss.  Will one day probably drive a Merc, but you still sometimes wonder if you shouldn't have bought that Bee-Em.


BMW
Self-centred, ambitious, dynamic and assertive.  Can be a big show-off pig.  Likes impressing too.  Buppies and kugels past sell-by date.  You think you will be CEO one day.  Actually an office weenie who thinks you are God's gift.



Daewoo
Faceless, subservient and demure (except for Matiz drivers).  To you, a good deal is to work from nine to five, get nothing for it, and still say thank you.  And then you wonder why you don't have money for a time after hours.


Fiat
Cute self-confident girls climbing the corporate ladder with ball-breaking as their hidden agenda.  Will take everything you own if she divorces you.


Ford
You still live in the 70's, trying to cope with the 90's (don't even mention the millennium). A loyal, diligent worker, but baffled by office politics and labour policies.  Next car will probably also be a Ford.

Honda
You aspire to drive a BMW.  You are an opinionated pain-in-the-butt.  The ultimate suffragette, or the boss's girlfriend (male or female!).



Isuzu
You like the smell of diesel and have secret fantasy of being a truck driver.





Hyundai /Kia[/b]
Quite progressive, intelligent and practical.  But misguided.  The kind of person who will suggest a sub-committee to find solutions to what the committee couldn't.  You will always maintain that a Korean car is better than any Japanese model.


[b]Jeep
You would like to believe you are living the American dream and just love the great outdoors.  The closest you get to it is by watching Days of Our Lives and the Adventure Channel.


Land Rover
You are a designer person with a designer life, who always pays too much for everything.  Designer mud comes free with the badge.  You're a closet colonial racist and have fantasies about the Queen.  If you have a Freelander, it was probably a break-up gift from your ex.

Mazda
A Ford driver with less money.  Mostly staid boring with no image and less imagination.  Lots of retired people drive Mazdas.  You're in the way and should get off the road.


Mercedes-Benz
Responsible, immaculate and conservative.  Boring CEO clones with too much money, or the office super-geek who can't remember what it's like to have fun.  Definitely not dating material.



Nissan
Good, solid, responsible, loyal office-fodder.  You like to travel and maintain that you can sell ice to the Eskimos.  Favourite answer: "It's a company car."


Opel
Wannabe Schumachers.  Would like a VW, but fell for the bumf about German engineering.  Always in a rush, but never get anything done.  Kicks BMW 3 series butts because they can. Spend all their money on trying to keep it going.


Pajero
Not as label-conscious as your Land Rover counterpart, but still suckered into believing in the ultimate Paris-to-Dakar, African adventure.  You drive through puddles to create your own designer mud.  You believe you've made the grade, but everyone else knows you've got a long way to go.


Peugeot
Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of the Louvre and the Sourbonne.




Porsche
Smalldick
(my best)





Renault
An eccentric who likes doing things the wrong way around.  Usually the one who asks all the silly questions at staff meetings.  You fervently believe you have flair, but it's less than that of a French cookbook.  Most probably gay.



Ssangyong
A make-believe fool, because you'd like a Pajero but can't afford it.  Don't actually know that the engines are made in India and not in Germany



Toyota
Although there are thousands of them, you mostly can’t spot them in their zero-image cars.  Toyotas are good, reliable cars and are bought by a wide variety of people who have zero personality to go with their cars and are basically chicken-shit scared people who will never take chances and will therefore be driving Toyotas forever. 
The most zero-image car in the world?, ,  a white Corolla

Volkswagen
Highly overrated for dependability cars since the days of the Beetle, but they do have a good re-sale value.  Usually practical, sensible people who like to drive fast where nobody can see them.  They are usually loyal to their brand to the point of irritation due to the fact that they lost their virginity on a Beetle's back seat.

Volvo
As square and safe as the car

I can authoritatively confirm to you that there is no Akeem Abiola in any BAT office in Nigeria.

I work with BAT in Ibadan

Fixed:
Indeed baconline's response may appear rude, but pricing a tokunbo 05 EOD for 1.35m is grossly unfair to the seller.

I really don't get the point here.
Yes, the car is very good for 1.6m; but what is unfair about a buyer bargaining for 1.35m? The right approach would be to politely decline if such a price is unacceptable to the dealer.

We still have a long way to go with regards to customer service and expecting customers to be "fair" is not a step in the right direction. The onus is on the seller to coax the buyer to up his game.

Secondly, I honestly think Baconline is uncouth  to continue posting without admitting the fact that he goofed with that remark.

Sorry is not  such a long word.

i need between 5-6.5kva soundproof preferably petrol.
please what's the price?

Hello Oga Jeuju,
Kindly help me check this

Kindly correct the model year

Happy sales

2.65m for an E46 (COJA)
