BusinessRe: Cheap Gsm Or Landline Package For Companies And Their Staff by obua: 4:30pm On Apr 17, 2008
Contract package or VPN should lower your phone bills.
VPN will be very good if most of the calls are between fellow company staff.
Starcomms, Visaphone have good VPN,
Check their web sites

Can I get a bank guarantee if I transfer money to your account abroad for supply of goods ?
Do you have a local account in Nigeria ?
AutosRe: Fed. Gov. Imposes Age Limit On Imported Buses And Trucks by obua: 7:09pm On Apr 08, 2008
That is just a thought/plan of the minister.
I guess that it will be feasible when all things are in place for massive local vehicle assembly.
Lots of countries in SE Asia developed their auto industry like that

BusinessRe: Cashcraft - Thieves Or A Broker by obua: 6:35pm On Mar 23, 2008
I am not holding brief for  Cashcraft and do not have any dealings with them
From my experience with the investing public,  there is a lot of ignorance among the investors.
There is a need to understand the market before heaping insults on  the operators.
2006 and 2007  were very active years in the stock market and many companies could not cope with the demand/supply of shares.
When some specific shares are scarce , some investors might not believe as long as the shares are traded .
Investors should make out time to visit the brokers instead of heaping insults on them.
One lousy marketing or admin staff  might be the problem and not just a whole company

Car TalkRe: Right Hand Drive (RHD) To Left Hand Drive (LHD) Conversion by obua: 11:49am On Mar 14, 2008
I do not have practical experience in conversion from RHD to LHD but I have done some reading on it.



4) The Brake Master Cylinder will have to be repositioned and re-lined ( depends on the link between the brake pedal and brake master cylinder
6) Door panels and door mounted Electric Controls (depends on car) will be replaced with LHD door panels and controls (cars with electric control in the center console won't have this problem) This is not so neccessary in view of the added cost
7) Wiper motor and mechanism must be repositioned or replaced (I suppose this depends on particular design) Not so neccessary
8 ) Engine and transmission have to be removed to allow access to firewall and accessories. Firewall is the wall between the passenger compartment and the engine bay, right under the windshield.
Not so critical
9) All secondary accessories located on the firewall such as Blower motor, Heater core, AC duct, wires and cables will have to be re-positioned.
This depends on how the dashboard alligns with the consoles below
10 ) If car is automatic, then gear selector may have to be replaced with one facing the right direction or entire floor console may have to be replaced to allow emergency brakes and Gear selector indicators to be properly positioned (but this varies with each car’s design peculiarities)
Not so critical
BusinessRe: Why Are Imported Goods Excessively Expensive In Nigeria? by obua: 7:37pm On Mar 13, 2008
Profit motive in Naija is high so traders tend to go for a kill.
Your costing for a y2k honda is on the low side. A good y2k+ car is well above 4000 Euro ie well above £3000

AutosRe: Advice Between A Used Corrolla Or Brand New Skoda Fabia / Kia Rio by obua: 10:08am On Feb 20, 2008
It the Corolla were a fresh tokunbo, I will have said go on and buy the Corolla.
A Nigerian used ,well maintained car will most probably be used on bad and traffic prone roads.
Those are 2 killers for cars in Nigeria.
Take the car to a garage and look at the underbody, borrow for some hrs/days and test it.
Finally try to beat down the price,as much as possible. You did not mention the price
Car TalkRe: Does A/c Wear Off Car Engine? by obua: 9:14am On Feb 20, 2008
A few points more on this :

Most AC compressors drain up 5w of engine power.
Most naija ACs do not work with the engine vacuum raiser to increase engine speed when the AC is put on. The vacuum lines are either blocked or even disconnected by error. This happens even with factory AC cars
As soon as the AC is put on, the engine rpm drops, this should not happen. This actually causes engine wear.
Most of the non factory AC fixed locally actually cause engine wear.
For a normal working( factory)AC, city driving will consume more fuel than highway driving.
For a  non factory wrongly installed  AC, city driving will also consume more fuel than highway driving and impact more negatively on a car engine, cause overheating and engine wear
BusinessRe: Importation Of Goods From China. What Is The Feasibility? by obua: 8:37pm On Feb 19, 2008
Look for those who are into it and understudy them.
There are lots of things involved in doing profitable import biz.
If you try it alone ,you might crash by having goods costing well above market price.

There are still some intricasies with the Ecobank credit card stuff that most ecobank marketers do not know about.
So throw more light on the loan durations , loan periods, timings and extra percentage
AutosRe: I Can Make Your Headlamps Brandnew Again by obua: 10:18am On Feb 19, 2008
Be more eleaborate on what you do do to bring the old headlamps back to life, then pricing can be talked about.
Some head lights like VW are dead cheap in Nigeria, so you have to balance that out
AutosRe: 2000 Mitsubishi Galant For Sale At 550k by obua: 3:45pm On Feb 18, 2008
That is certainly no 2000 Mitsubishi Galant.
It is 1987–1993 ie 6th generation model. A VIN check will confirm.

Lets ask our selves some questions
When did money spraying start
what is the essence of spraying money
Is KSA now the proponent of a progressive culture in Nigeria( with due respect)
I have seen people spray money and stop pickers from picking it, only for the thugs of the sprayers to pick up the mint notes

BusinessRe: Transcorp: The Fall Of A Giant? by obua: 1:27pm On Feb 18, 2008
Transcorp still owns Transcorp Noga hotel and some oil licences.
I am actually a big fan of the Transcorp idea. Transcorp did not just get it right with Nitel. For more than a year, no tangible results.
I believe the govt will still negotiate with Transcorp on Nitel. They may be forced to sell off some holding

AutosRe: Toyota Avensis: Info by obua: 8:05pm On Feb 16, 2008
Avensis was mainly made for the European market and the 2nd hand Toyotas are damn to expensive and some how not always as available as other cars.
A good 2-3 yr old Avensis should set you back by at least N2.5m or more. A Camry of the same age and even a higher class will cost almost less if it is brought from America. I will give anything for a turbo diesel avensis
Brand new avensis goes for well above N4m in Nigeria
