how did you come to the conclusion that he is a nigerian?

Honestly i cant just contain my joy,for nigerians living spain you will agree with me that we are all used to the rude staff in the embassy and condesending way they treat nigerians whenever we go there for one thing or the other.you can then imagine my shock and happness at the kind of attention we recieved recently from the ambassador over a case involving a nigerian lady here.
As one of the leaders of the nigerian community here,we had a case of a young nigerian mother of two kids whose kids were taken away from her by the social services because she had no papers and hence no work to take care of t the two kids.
We decided to go the emabassy to see if they could help and as usual we met this young lady staff who was very rude asking us "so what do you expect the embassy to do?pls leave here jare!,as we were about leaving bianca happened to come down,and she called us to ask what the problem was,the whole staff was shocked including me.
To cut a long story short,the ambassador personally took up the case,wait for this!! she personally called up the social service and national police officals who were involved in the matter,through out the whole saga,she was always calling the the mother of the two kids with her personal phone,there was a stage bianca even shed tears with the mother of the kids,at the end the kids were returned to the mother.
The ambassador actions has given me hope that all is not lost in nigeria,there are stlll few leaders with hearts.we need more of her type.bless you ma

gbam!!!

can you just imagine insipered i think you have to start montoring car deals involving dealers on nairaland

This is a good topic i wonder why people are not particpating that much on it,i have been in the auto world now for 5 years and i can tell you that the business comes with its own harzards especially concerning the nigeria market,i ship cars to many other african countries and everything always goes smoothly but when it it comes to the nigeria market one has to be really carefull,the government has some blames too in this with their funny new charges that comes up at times at the port,no stability whatsoever ask any seansoned importer and he or she will tell you what am saying.
personally am not a great fan of the pre oder system,what i do at times is this,if a client indicates interest in a car and i dont have it in my stand in nigeria,i will source, buy and ship the car to lagos on my own expenses,as soon as the car arives the port,i will invite the buyer to come inspect and pay me for the car,this way i always have rest of mind, if the buyer defaults and this has happened to me many times i simply resale to the ride to someone else though this might take sometime and hold my money down,when i see some so called dealers here on nl giving gurantee of two weeks delivery i laugh,in reality you cant give gurantee until the ship has actually set sail for GOD sake,i have been in this business for 5 years so i know what am saying,honesty with buyers is the key to suceess in this business.when i say harzards come with this business there are times a car gets dents and bashes on the ship before it gets to lagos,there are some cars i have loaded intact from the source when i get to lagos i see dents and bashes,how do i then explain to the customer?these are some of the things we need to inform clients beforehand except if the car is given vip holding on the ship,i always go to great pains in explaing the risks involved to my customers cause to me name is more important than money.for anyone who wants to go into this business of pre order should his homework very well.nuff said

@insipred ol boy i like your style,keep it up,your name speaks for itself,honesty and trusworthiness keep it up,but come o you guys are forgetting us dealers here in europe o ,na only america una just dey face lo!remember cars shipped from here in europe always arrive faster than the ones from america and you know how solid europe engines are compared to made in america engines.make una dey patronise us too.cheers
