1) How much should i budget for clearing?
Depends on age/make/engine capacity budget 250-350 for most cars

2) Is it worth putting it in a container to prevent the car being stripped? Cars are not stripped if they are cleared early enough. For very expensive cars ,it is advisable to crate them. New cars in the port are rarely crated. With the reforms in the ports, stripping of cars is very difficult now.

3) Can I just do roro and make sure the funds and documents are in place before the car lands so as to make things quick. Arrange for the papers to come in by courier.

4) At what points are things stolen from cars on the ship or when in the car park in Lagos? Right now with reforms in the ports , a lot of stealing is done on some transshippment routes outside Nigeria. If it is a bare car, you will certainly not lose much. The biggest stuff that I have lost is relay that cost less than 1k to replace

5) Lastly how long does clearing take from start to finish? If all papers/cash are ready, you can get your car out in 5 day max. I have an agent who clears for me.

I am no agent, but you can reach Toba( an agent and a friend) on 084 743766, 0803096 9702

Thanks,
Pls give me cellphone nos of good mechanics in Portharcourt

Self -contained room in PHC costs at least 65k minimum. It goes for upto 100k in very accessible areas.
BQs should be available in GRA for upto 70k

Do not buy that Chevrolet Corsica Lt.
If you are an auto guy with good skills for car repair and friend in the USA and cash to throw around , then buy it.
American cars are cheap to buy/maintain in the USA only.
Generally , USA cars are poorly made and they are not as reliable as Japanese or european makes.
Except, the price is like 100k , then you can use it for a few months and drop it.



There are 2 key issues here.
parts availability
general reliability( JD power surveys)

Yeah, there are lots of fake/original japanese cars spares in the market,but the American cars spares that I suppose are cheap in the US are not available (cost wise) both fake/original in Nigeria. Infact only in Lagos(Cole street-Ojuelegba) can one buy such spares)

JD power breakdown figures are realeased regularly and are not contestable

Orji Uzor Kalu is a disaster.
He certainly does not have any good ideas about how to govern a state not to talk of a nation.
His english is bad, I also think that he is generally not good with words.
Buhari , Yar adua may not be very eloquent , but they are people of high integrity.
People like OUK think that governance is all about sharing national cake and federal allocation.
Governance for me is all about creating incentives and enabling environment for good ideas to thrive.
There are 1001 companies out there looking for where to invest huge funds and people like OUK are always ranting about little federal allocation.
If he can attract large investments by creating an investment heaven employing about 100,000 people directly and indirectly, earning a salary of about 100k per month, he can generate about N2.5billion monthly from PAYE tax only

2 bedroom flat can go for as from 150k to 300k
3 b/r can go for 180 to 400k
All depends on location . You can count on water but light is really tough. Afriend is giving out nice 2br for 300k at Woji

Go to The Palms at Lekki, You can get good quality halogen light at 2-3k. Poor quality lights sold in the markets cost like N500 but they will mess you up, as they will keep getting burnt per second.
You can arrange the tripod from any good photo equipment shop in the markets, then you can couple them up.

Toyota land Cruiser, 4-runner are the best in terms of total ownership costs.
Nissan Pathfinder /Nissan Patrol are all cool. Also Pajero are all cool maintenance wise.
I have a mid 90s Pajero and it is cool. All those rovers , cherokee, fords and chevrolets are expensive to manage.

The cars with the best fuel efficiency is normally turbo -charged diesel engined cars.
From experience in Nigeria the VW 1.9 TDI that is used for Jetta( Bora) Passat, Golf and Polo( SDi) is the most fuel efficient. They are so good that Volvo and even Toyta are working together with VW for diesel engine development.
Their 8/12 cylinder TD engines are unmatched in the industry.

For Petrol engines Hondas and Toyotas are the leaders
