Cheers.

Which ban on old number plates?

There's a court judgment which barred the FRSC from banning old number plates. They impounded a lawyer's car over old plates and he sued them and won. The court gave him damages of 1M sef.

It's like the FRSC wants to bless Nigerians with free millions again.

And people will still vote the APC in Lagos after such monumental failure?

What is wrong with Lagosians sef?

Anyways click like for Atiku

Share for Buhari

Let's feel the pulse of people

You're asking what is wrong with Lagosians?

Lagosians aren't stupid people and they don't follow the herd mentality. Lagos has been an opposition state since 1999.

There is a reason why when the recession was biting nij Nigeria, Lagos state was paying salaries, pensions and allowances before the 25th of each month.

APC has solid structures on ground in Lagos and you're sharing likes and shares online. Buhari and APC have Lagos on lockdown in 2019. PDP can try in 2048.

Hackchually, Ambode tried his best considering where he came from where grown men defecate openly in gutters and grown women do their private pooing business in plastic buckets hidden under their beds at night.
You gotta praise this man for his efforts

It is better to keep quiet and be presumed wise than to speak and remove all doubts as to your foolishness.

Nigerian lecturers are not that wicked,some are stepping stone to motivate you to achieve a gorgeous goal,beautiful one for that matter... There silly words like...you'll not pass until you give in, gave me moral to aim 90%,not even 70%,so that after reduction of marks,i can ve something to hold on to. Cheers

Which useless stepping stone?

If you try that nonsense abroad, you'll lose your job and face enough lawsuits to keep you busy for a decade.

Mine wasn't in the University, was in my final year in secondary school.

I wasn't particularly good in mathematics but the maths teacher never stopped insulting and talking me down. One day, I was talking to another teacher in the in the staff room and she told me in front of teachers and everyone that she would see what I would become in life. That statement never left my mind and that was 13 years ago.

Today, I'm a lawyer and just last week, I was invited to speak to students in that same school in a mentoring session.

As I held the mic to address them, I just shook my head at the irony of life. One of the teachers who was in the staff room that day is the present principal and the little me have become a lawyer mentoring students in that same school.

Osita went to Twitter thinking he's talking to ignorant twerps like Temitemi, Beaf, Sincere9gerian and the newbies littering Nairaland today.

Twitter is not Nairaland, they eat people raw over there and there are no mods to hide posts.

If he's not careful, he would deactivate his Twitter account and jump into River Niger tonight.

My own Advice is for people to stay away from the PDP convention. Don't allow their blood splash on to you while they are killing themselves.

I was expecting to see lambos and buggati's not these scraps.

Do you know the meaning of classic cars? I bet if you see a classic Ferrari, you won't even know.

Independence day is not October 1st

Independence day is the day you get your papers to leave this country. That's your Independence day.

This past week, Ambode shared money to wards and CDAs in Lagos. The one opposite my house collected money and campaign materials from Ambode and fought all through last week over sharing the money.

Just this evening, I came out and discovered that those who collected millions from Ambode less than 5 days ago have put Sanwo-olu's banner there tonight.

Story story

Storyyy

Once upon a time

There was once a police PRO whose name was ALIYU GIWA


He always board BRT wen going to work

Idiots everywhere. shiooor

Wetin concern me say u board BRT to work if u like board DANGOTE TRUCK to work.

I GAT NO Bleep

Stingy guy. As cheap as bleep is, you can't even give one.

Na wa for you o!

I'm an APC supporter and I've never met Edgal Imohimi or care about Ambode either but the truth must be said.

Edgal as the CP Lagos has performed creditably well. Under him, we no longer have cases of schoolchildren being kidnapped as happened twice in Epe and once in Isheri. Also, I wouldn't forget that Edgal Imohimi personally led the raid that finished off the Badoo cult group in Lagos.

Let's not forget that Evans was captured under his leadership.

Edgal is not perfect, but professionally, he's a top-notch officer. Let's not use politics to diminish his impeccable professional record.

UK is not a place to go hustle. There's a lot of protectionism coming into play caused by Brexit. Besides, I doubt if you have the required skills to land well paying opportunities in the UK.

Get a better destination and forget about the UK.

In the North, there are well matured ladies still in secondary schools. The Corper may even be age mates with the student.

However, as a teacher, there's a responsibility placed on you not to engage in amorous relationships with your students.

If you know you love her, wait for her to graduate before engaging in a relationship with her.

Sometime ago, a clearing agent boasted here on Nairaland that he helps people bring vehicles in from Cotonou and register them at the Tincan Ports in Lagos despite the fact that land borders have been closed by the Nigerian Customs to vehicle importation. When we asked him how he'll do it, he said he has his way of doing it.

That day, I made this comment below:

MrMcJay:
The land borders were shut to vehicles from Benin Cotonou because it was the point of origin for most smuggled vehicles into Nigeria. Most vehicles from Cotonou do not pay Customs Duty and were usually smuggled. Hence, they decided to throw away the baby with the bath water by closing the land border.

Now, if a vehicle is bought from Cotonou and Customs duty is paid on it at Tincan to give the fraudulent impression that it was brought in from Tincan, no problem. You're attempting to help the FG achieve what they wanted howbeit illegally. It's not outrightly illegal but you're exploiting the weakness of the law. One day, you'll pay for that.

The day an overzealous customs officer insists on sighting supporting documents which you used to obtain your C-number, you may fall into a deep pit. That's the day you'll explain how a vehicle imported into Port of Cotonou found its way into Tincan Port at a time the land borders from Benin to Nigeria were closed to vehicle imports.

Just yesterday, a Nairalander opened the thread below:
https://www.nairaland.com/4737275/muscle-camry-almost-got-impounded




What made me open this thread was an incident that happened to a friend a few weeks ago. He bought a Tokunbo Venza from an auto dealer here in Nigeria. Before buying, he conducted due-diligence at the customs desk and it checked out.

After using it for about a year, he resold it to another buyer. The second buyer also conducted due-diligence at the customs desk and it also checked out.

While on Badagry Road, customs officers stopped him and after inspecting his papers, they impounded the vehicle. The buyer was confident to take on them because he had Customs Papers which checked out as at when he bought.

When he got to the office, the Customs guys explained what happened.

1. The agent who cleared the vehicle attached the details of the vehicle to a Container coming into Nigeria as if the vehicle was part of the cargo into Nigeria.

2. The Origin of the container was China and it was carrying industrial parts.

3. The dealership that sold the vehicle was in Texas, America.

4. They traced the details of the vehicle and discovered that it sailed from Houston to Porto Novo in Republic of Benin.

5. Last recorded Port was in Benin Republic before it miraculously appeared in a container coming from China to be cleared in Lagos.

6. There is no legal way that vehicle could have gotten to Nigeria from Cotonou.

7. In Lagos Port, the agent underpaid the value of the car but somehow got the customs papers.





The reason for this epistle is to provide information to prevent innocent Nairalanders from falling into this crime perpetrated by fraudulent agents and their allies.

1. Is there a way an innocent buyer can avoid falling into this problem?

2. Is there a particular Customs office buyers can go to physically verify that not only were the proper duties paid, but correct information given?

3. If you pay and customs officers collude with unscrupulous agents to defraud Nigerians, is there an official mechanism to get redress for the innocent buyer?

4. Is there an avenue for innocent buyers to pay unpaid customs fees over sized vehicles and ensure they are released?

5. For vehicles bought brand new in Nigeria and receipts issued by dealers, is there a way to verify duties were paid on those vehicles?





This is a kind of self-help thread since there's hardly information on these anywhere and the customs guys don't care.

Comments are welcome.

When an "agent" was asked to clarify the process:

To which the response was:

From the "agent":

Cosplay, I'll create a topic and mention you. I have a live case over this matter at hand.

Congrats to him

You made some valid points but rubbished it by saying you we should buy Toyotas.

Is there any valid technical scientific or empirical reason why I should choose a Toyota over a Benz for instance?

mogreen22:
What I did in my corrola was to install an am amplifier and subwoofer, changed my head unit as well. Trust me, no mecerdez can match the sound coming out from my car. Wish I could post a video when they were installing it. Job was done very neat. Changed my stock speakers to Sony xplod.as well. I was able to screen grab my Snapchat, let me post. That's his store when I went to select woofers

You've obviously never owned a new model Benz.
You'll hear sound and be turning around, looking for who is beating drums behind you.

OP, the best sound I ever ever came across was a 2017 Range Autobiography LWB. Obviously not in your budget.

sultaan:
When is innosson coming out with his own version since no bank will finance his importation now

Any staff of ANY bank in Nigeria who gives extends a single kobo facility to Innoson would be fired within 6 business hours.

His reputation is in tatters in financial circles and that alone is capable of killing his business.

Of what use is a businessman who is not creditworthy?

Which legal skills?

It's like a mechanical engineer asking promising you that he would help you wire your house if you give him your daughter. Engineer na engineer but specialities dey.

Even if he's an SAN, what's his track record in election petition?

They would solve this crisis in a jiffy. We're in politics season when they are trying to impress voters, they won't want fuel scarcity to dent their chances.

This is what Nairaland has been reduced to?

Those who make noise about their relationships are trying to cover up underlying problems.

Toto Decay made more noise than a colonial-era train when she was married to Churchill. Today, they're apart.

This one turned himself to Clarence Peters shooting pre-wedding pictures and posting videos online like Woli Arole. When his wife's uncle hammered him, he couldn't put it online o.

Good engine doesn't make unnecessary noise, when it starts making noise, it wants to knock.

When you have something precious, you shut up your mouth and protect it be it money, gold, documents or bae.

I wish you a happy married life and most of all, I wish you commonsense required of adults.

The lesson is that whatever you are doing, do it well. If you want to be a prostitute, do it well.

OP is suffering from messianic complex.

If you want to help someone, see those elderly women and kinds selling stuff by the roadside? Those are the people who need help.

I consult for an NGO and I've seen firsthand what poverty does to people and how little sums of money can help people.

If you genuinely need to help people, there are plenty trades you can set up with 20k and they'll make a living from there.

You see that girl, even if a foreign NGO comes and pays her dollars to leave that job, she won't leave if she doesn't want to.

Tetragramaton:
Please how can you compare her and offuneka. Offumeka is married with kids and based in Australia. Plus she did not have sex in the house.

Ofunneka was controversial that year. Even the Senate had to step in.

The difference between Ofunneka and Nina is that Ofunneka was seen as a victim of Richard's nonsense, Nina is seen as a victim of her own foolishness.

Karma served Nina hot under a year. Karma came running.

dannyzakks:
Now this is a red scam.......real red scam.
#chali why the lies now

The OP registered in 2006, you registered in 2016 and you're accusing him of being a scammer?

Say something else.

Nina is finished.
What is remaining for her is empty carcass. No added value or intelligence to display. She's gonna end up like Ofunneka who did the same nonsense she did.

Anywhere she goes, she's gonna be the dumb hoe who got dumped.

She's a living definition of Karma. RIP to her reputation.
