There was this myth that if you freeze the card in a refrigerator, it will increase the call credit on it. Naija sha.

This is a good elevation.

33gig for 10k on Glo. It supports all my devices. Phones, laptop, TV, PS, name it. I also share it with wife and other family members.

Nigerians are swayed by emotions. Not until we outgrow it, we can never be reasonable. What more do we expect? So that singular act has made him the best thing ever to happen to Nigeria. We should grow up please.

These cars aren't really that expensive, I wish the car companies that make electric cars should advertise more in Nigeria. We need more cars like this, it saves cost and helps the environment. But Nigerians will always prefer Lexus 570 to prove you are a big boy. It is well. Hope he achieves what he told us about the cars.

Where we go see electricity charge the car? Do you know the rate of electricity consumption? The car is not expensive but do you know ONE can get you 3 good tokunbo cars?
Our dear country is not yet ripe for electric cars.

The guy has every reason to be grateful.

A car is a liability and no matter how you maintain it, it depreciates every day. Not to talk about loss to armed robbers together with your life atimes. I'll rather invest 5million in buying a house and 800,000 in getting a car.

#My opinion

It is good to invest, but there are times you just need to flaunt what you've got. What if a man invests all he has today and dies tomorrow, what becomes of the investment?

So here it is... the Nigerian Military Hierarchy.

this term has never been used practically in
Nigeria, means no Nigerian has ever attained this

Half baked info. What about Major General and Colonel? Are they not recognised ranks in the Nigerian Army?

Thank God. Very good news

Ok I have seen enuf evidence.. that shows that itsekiri is a continuum of the yoruba language.. my argument which I was standing on was that the reason why I said itsekiri was different from the yoruba language is because I used cultural practices and dressing patterns as well as history which pays more reference to the benin empire.

Also our chieftaincy titles r more related to the benin language. That was why I said the itsekiri was nt yoruba.. thanks for adding to my knowledge

Cc:setaje scholes0

Bros, I have to give it to you.

onuwaje:
To me if it's not there then it's not

You make me laugh. I am an Awori and I know that my language is a variety of Yoruba(dialect). It does not have to be in the write-up before I admit and I know scholars and every member of Awori cannot be wrong on this.

onuwaje:
Pls help me look for itsekiri here

I can't find Awori there too. Does it make it less a Yoruba dialect?

gabriplane:
akowa means first to come which is thesame as taiwo which means first to taste life...

Beautiful. Nice interpretation.

Kirri:
Otipa.....(OKITIPUPA ONDO STATE)
By the way ITSEKIRI IS NOT YORUBA and they're not in RIVERS STATE

Correction, the Itshekiris may not be Yoruba (debatable) but the language they speak is Yoruba. Google is your friend on this. Thank me later.

saintjoel:
Since I have sought your permission about this inquiry,I'll like to show you some analyses I came up with and it will be beneficial to you.

Before I give quotes to customers,I always seek second opinions from fellow agents,dealers/middlemen and cheki.com. This options always guide me in everything I do on nairaland.

I came across quote a potential customer was given earlier by another agent/middleman/car dealer and he gave him/her a quote of N3.5M for a 2011 Benz C300 as we can see from picture one and I kept wondering if 2010 Benz c300 could be sold for that same amount or lesser than that,I also wanted him to analyze the quote for me.

Picture 2 will shows us a quote of 11,000,000M Cefa from one of our trusted sources inside cotonou and four other dealers sent the same asking price.

Picture 3 will show the sms I sent to the same agent/dealer/middleman that gave you the N3.5M quote and he gave me N3M for purchase and N300,000 for custom duty,which meant he will be paying less than 200,000 naira as bank charges out of the 300,000naira and that made me seek another agent's opinion since I have never seen or heard of people paying that amount for a 2010 benz. From what we can see from picture four,my fellow agent that I absolutely trust his judgment also gave his analysis and from what you can see in the picture,not going into vehicle seat or been driven by an officer means either shortpayment or smuggled and it will result in seizure cos it is a 50/50 option. Working with N300,000 will so much worsen the case cos he will need to pay less than N200,000 has bank charges in order to make up for the processing cost and it may lead to outright seizure if it's caught in places like idiroko or the customer pays more than N800,000 to retrieve it in seme and that would've been a case of been penny wise but pound foolish,there's no way a 2010 benz C300 can be cleared with just N300,000.

So I guess the questions the customer should ask the agent/dealer/middleman are as follows-

1. Which border is he going to use?

2. Will the car be parked in the NCS vehicle seat when it gets to the border and if it's not going to be parked,why?

3. How much is the bank charge on a 2010 or 2011 benz C300?

4. How much is the purchase cost in cefa and Naira for a 2010/2011 Benz C300?

I'll suggest the customer goes into the parks with any other agent for feasibility studies before he/she commits money,it's not necessary he/she goes with jelad ventures but they must be sure of what they are about to spend money on.

This analysis hasn't been done to discourage people as potential customers neither am I spoiling another man's business,that why we've kept the identities secret. It just shows that people need to be careful about what they want to do so that they won't be lured into the market and they spend more than they budgeted for.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. Before taking any action, I sure would be on ground to see how things run. My current budget is 3.5m but I needed to be sure if it would do and the reason why I am contacting several agents just to have an informed opinion. If I am convinced, I might get across when I am ready.

saintjoel:
I am so sorry for replying late,I wanted to confirm if the Audi was available in the market.

Asking price for 010 Benz C300 is N3.7M + N550,000 custom duty.
(It's not 900,000,I made a mistake of qouting the duty for 2010 Benz CLS and I am so sorry).

Asking price for 010 Audi A4 is N3.6M + N500,000 custom duty.

Thanks bro.

omodapson:
