God bless you. Nigeria deserves the people that governs them. Let them increase the tariff to 100% people will still buy tokunbo. How many civil servants can buy a brand new car at the current prices without finance facilities in place?
They make policies without supporting structures in place.
We will see what will happen to those companies and their created jobs if people don't patronise them.

deemdeem:

And who told u that importation of cars doesn't create jobs. Starting from the buyer, clearing and forwarding agents, transporters, auto mechanics down to the scrap metal man that deals with the remnants. Don't be deceived, there is currently thousands if not millions benefitting from the status quo.
The truth is as long as prices of Nigerian made prices are at the high side, it will never be attractive to the vast majority. I don't blame the producers either, their cost of production is also high. If Nigerians don't buy, won't the company fold up?
Even with the increase in tariff, tokunboh cars are still cheaper, attractive and even safer so what really should be the primary catch to the Nigerian consumer? again I state, the policy is good but the timing is wrong.

This is the most informed contribution so far on this subject. How do you expect people who have never left Nigerian boarder to understand that there must be a financial system in place before those policies can work. Some people are just quoting economic theories that they learnt in the university whereas our national circumstances does not yet support them. Now I can't afford a new car, no bank is going to give car loans at reasonable interest rate and I can't afford an imported car because of the tariff. So tell me how the policy benefit me.

Boss13:
The average citizen or residents in developed countries cannot truly afford a new vehicle by paying outright cash. But they have designed credit schemes, hire purchase rights, vehicle lease options, monthly repayment plans and also trade-ins schemes so that they can be affordable. Do you think an average american will go to a vehicle dealer/distribution shop and count $40,000 or even $27,000 to buy a vehicle with cash except you are an I.T guru, investment banker (who has received his yearly bonus), a celeb or sport player. The IRS will be knocking on your door the next day.

Of course, the differential between importing a new car and assembling them here in the country may not be much. The issue should be, how do we get the average nigerian to buy these cars manufactured or assembled in nigeria.

You know this for a fact? Where is Shekau now?

DONGOYARO1:
The vehicle(s) did not 'come' via Lagos nay Nigeria. Shekau is not even in Nigeria presently

The Toyata Hilux vans are new. Using the VIN/chasis numbers from the vehicles recovered from the BH, the government should be able to know the ownership history of the vehicles. They should be able to know the Toyota dealer who imported them originaly and to whom it was sold. A lot of things makes no sense in this country. I wont be suprised if these Hilux van are from the ones parked in the premises of Police college in Ikeja, Lagos.
I can't place 100 naira bet on the FGN being the sponsor of BH.

How old are you? My 8 years old son can't reason like this. You know you don't have to comment on every post. Just read comments from other people and move on. This line of reasoning will get you unemployable.

Flets:
And this one said he is a pastor.

Didnt the bible say we should pray for our leaders?

Assuming Osibanjo takes the place of daddy GO, will this be his response?

I pity the flock this one pastors?

Election postponed.

Stop spreading lies. This picture was taken during a lecture dedicated to Pastor E. A. Adeboye on Wednesday, 4th February with Prof. Osinbajo as the guest speaker not Holy Ghost service.

What's your point? You sound bitter, for what reason? What story is made up? Try and be objective. Your comment doesn't make any sense, you must have quoted the wrong post.

DWJOBScom:
You really spooling ignorance and a lot of "madeup" stories! Not healthy for you.....
I think hate makes people take in a lot of stories to boost their points - leave politicians alone , they fight themselves cos they must protect their ego afterwhich they make peace while we kill ourselves over them
Stay objective

Thanks for your observation. You noted that Osinbajo is politically irrelivant, what do you suggest that we or APC do about him? Also enlighten us on what it means to be a religious fundamentalist and extremist, also dont forget to tell us the difference between the two.
Thanks.

brainpower:
This same 2013 he was fighting insurgency while Buhari didn't fight. GEJ was trying to use every means necessary to see to the end of the insurgency. Osinbajo should stop cleaning the image of Buhari, whether he wins or not, he is a fundamentalist and an extremist. His statements and actions are there to prove it. And please nairalanders, I know Osinbajo as a seasoned lawyer but what I don't know is what he brings to the table as far as politics is concerned for the APC. His CAN and PFN has abandoned him, so it means he is politically irrelevant. Which also means that by any reason Buhari is voted in and he starts misbehaving, Osinbajo doesn't have the political might to stand up to him. Votewisly.

Thanks for the complement. You asked an important question.
This is my answer: It would be convenient for me to say Tinubu belongs to the ruling elites because hardly can you find an ex-political office holder that have not used their position to amassed wealth. That was why I said the election is not between political parties or between GEJ and GMB. It is an election where the people say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Having said that, I see Tinubu as part of the 'process' through which the people are being given a voice to speak, their questionable personalty and personal agenda notwithstanding. The 'product' the whole country is looking for now is a change in the way this country is being governed. It is not really important the 'process' through which the change comes; what we need is to first and formost stop the country from bleeding to death. After we stop the bleeding we may start asking them where they got the 'first aid kits and haemostasis skills from when they are not doctors'. We dont ask restaurant owners whether they cook their food with kerozene stove or gas; what we need is good food.

[b]All our politicians are part of the rulling elites. [/b]What we should do, as a nation, now is to let them understand that they are there to serve the people not themselves. Remember many people voted for Jonathan in 2011 and not PDP. People care less about party or party executives, who funds the party; they just want better lives.

(This is between you and me: It will take more than the February 14th election to effect the change, though that may be the start of what I called the EMANCIPATION OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE. It will be a peoples' movement that will cause the ruling elites to feel what ordinary people are passing through now; there will be a revolution. The rulling elites are just like the Biblical Pharao who will not allow Israel to be free untill all their first sons were killed.)

Dewze:
You are some intelligent fella, well read I suspect. I would not be wrong to say you are a writer. Kudos.
Honestly, I was about to give a big like to your post when the thought stopped my hand, so I ask, on which part of the ''ruling elite vs the poor Nigerians'' divide does Buhari's backer Tinubu stand?

Pls choose your answer carefully if you must answer.

I am not related to Amaechi. The onus probandi is on you to disapprove my conclusion and assumptions. Get your PVC ready and don't make mistake with it on February 14.

sbaks:
U must be related to amaechi. What makes you jump into the conclusion that I've not been abroad,.............etc.? You are so delusional! Who will come here and begin to argue with you on his own personal life? You are so funny Your assumptions were rather hallucinatory

As a matter of fact you didn't disappoint me. Your response is exactly what I was expecting.
You should be able to answer all of my questions because I didn't ask for your name and address, I didn't ask for your phone number and where you are working.
Your original post revealed one thing: You have been a victim of a poor governance.
Poverty has really affected the way you think and your sense of what is right or wrong is damaged. Obviously you have never seen what real national development looks like; I can conveniently conclude that you have never been out of Nigeria and you have no family living abroad.
Even if you have someone living abroad, you loathe them because you believe they are not helping you and that your life should be their responsibility. You are possibly unemployed or earn less than 23,000 naira per month. I doubt if you are paying for the house you live in.

Just to correct your erronous thinking: This election is not between APC and PDP; It is not between Christian and Muslim; It is not between GEJ and GMB.
It is an election between the ruling elites and poor Nigerians. Have you ever wondered why Muslim/Christian always come up during election period? Because they know that most Nigerians cant reason beyond what you are told in the church or mosque.
This is the election between you that can't get married at the age 35 and people who spend hundreds of millions of Nigerian money on their children's wedding.
This election is between people paying 1000 naira for scam immigration jobs and the people who actually spend the money.
This election is between young girls who has turned prostitutes or runs-babes and your pot-belly politicians who actually screws them.
This election is between your religious bigotry and your destiny. Now you have the chance to choose your destiny over any nostalgia the politicians and your religious leaders are feeding you with.
Just look around you, is this how life should be?
I know you are going to insult me after reading my comment. But I pray that God open your eyes.
NB: Rotimi Amaechi is a two term governor. He doesn't need your pity. I was reading in another news today about Bishop Oyedepo investing 9 billion naira through a stockbroker called Valueline Securities and Investment Limited. What does this tell you? They dont need your pity.
Pity yourself and fight for yourself.
(This is between you and me: Stop posting rubish on Nairaland. I know you are not one of those people paid to do so. You and I should just keep coming here to read post and click likes when we feel like doing so. God bless you.)

sbaks:
You are such a big joke for you to think ill give you information about myself on a forum like this. What were you thinking? To have even asked these questions expecting answers on a forum like this even makes you a big joke abi I lie? Imagine the questions sef?

What revelation?

frankyychiji:
Did he rattle you with that revelation? Sorry bro!

Wao you have really spoken.. I want to make a comment on your post but I need to ask you some few questions:

How old are you?
What do you do for a living?
Which church do you worship at?
Who is your Pastor? or are you a pastor?
Have you, ever, travelled out of Nigeria?
Did you finish secondary school? (I know BSc and SSCE is more or less the same in Nigeria now)

I am waiting for your answer so I can make accurate assesment of your personality before replying to what you just posted.
Please your reply will determine my comment.
Thanks.

sbaks:
[b]Amaechi will so suffer after this elections. That is a fact. I give him may 29th he would be busy crying his eyes out. Amaechi my advice for you. I was once like you, following hausa people until my eyes began to open. They would make sure you are enemies with your fellow christians, get necessary informations from you, use you like a fool, then they will DUMP YOU in such a way that your fellow christian brothers would not even use a 20m pole to touch you not to talk of helping you (because they must have seen you as a betrayer hence lost confidence in you). They would make you hated. Goodluck is soooooo wise to have ran to his fellow christians because this is what will make him win. FACT! Have you guys ever noticed(for those of you with hausa friends) that whenever you are together with them, when they see any of their fellow islamists, they so much abandon you to the extent you will feel like nothing. They are such fanatics.
Nigerians tell me if true true dem no wan islamize us, wetin be the meaning of that Arabic inscription for our naira note? Nigeria na Arabic nation?
Why is it that they always bite their teeth whenever a christian is in power (even though the christian is trying his best)? It was done to obasanjo, now goodluck
Mtcheeeeeew. Amaechi would be dumped no matter what. They are only using him in other to make him an enemy of christians and to get the secret of christianity (I.e how they can capture christians to vote for them) shikenan! After that, they will throw him into a THRASH CAN! I HAVE SAID SO. You guys will bear me witness GOD's Grace because I SAID SO [/b]

Every plan of these wicked people to hold Nigerians in bondage is destroyed today. Their foolishness has been discovered, they shall proceed no further.

Did anyone see the bags of rice in the second picture?
"Who is fooling who asshuaaally?" Rev father Mbaka

Good observation. They are majorly men, imagine when all their wives too come out to vote on February 14

kay29000:
Looking at the people in the crowd very well, u will know they are people passionate about Buhari becoming President, not the paid crowd you see at PDP campaigns.

Don't take any accusation against Nigerian politicians to be true until they come out to defend themselves.

"Nigerian economy is the largest in Africa now because Nigeria has the highest number of elites with private jets"

The spirit of those who died as a result of the hospital strike will hunt all of you in that Aso Villa.

"Who is fooling who asshuaally" Rev father Mbaka

I am tired of this country.
Everything is just like film trick.
Nigerian politicians' case is like someone with fully charged phone battery dragging charger with someone with only one bar on their phone.

"Who is fooling who aashuaaaally?" Rev father Mbaka.

How much is the application fee and how many people are they going to kill now?

Jobs that has already been shared before the announcement. Failed state!

I have a dedicated IP address, I voted for GMB and I went through the Excel spreadsheet I couldn't find my IP address in the list. AIT what happened to my vote?

So how is your comment relevant to the points raised in this thesis?

Chigold101:
Soluda has once again proven that he is a weak man. A man i so much loved but his unforgiven spirit is second to none.

Soludo is writing like this against GEJ because GEJ is the reason why he lost Anambra election in 2010(I worked as member of his campaign team).

In 2013 he joined APGA and was talked about how to continue with Obi‘s good work as governor of Anambra state but Obi who already had Obiano in mind used style to push Soludo aside...

He joined Atiku‘s camp in 2011 thinking that GEJ will lose at the PDP primaries, but their camp was disgraced. Now he has come here to cause confusion in the polity because all he wants is to see GEJ disgraced, but it will not work for him in Jesus name.

This is how his unforgiven spirit made him to make sure that Dora Akunyiri (his wife‘s aunty. Dora is the younger sister to the wife‘s mother) never win Anambra central senatoral sit. He took it upon himself to make sure that Ngige is decleard the winner even when there was a little confusion in few constituencie. All because Dora through GEJ & Abuja PDP helped Peter Obi defeat him in 2010.

As an insider who knows the fight going on between Soludo, GEJ & Obi am not suprised at all with the this piece. It has some elements of truth but it is coated with many sweet lies.

He took sabatical after Peter Obi messed him up in 2013 prior to Anambra state guber election. Which sabatical? He went in to leak his wounds...

He thinks he has seen where to nail GEJ.

Things are not looking good for the PDP.
They can't even go to court because the courts are on strike.
GMB15

That's the APC theme colour.

Faun:
They did it to ape Barack Obama's famous "HOPE" logo with the blue and red shades.

But there's a problem...

In Obama's logo, the red and blue colors stood for something. They represented the colors on America's flag.
This one, on the other hand, just reeks of a very desperate attempt at whitewashing a senile megalomaniac with delusions of integrity.
Nice hustle all the same.

Total rubbish. This is what happens when people don't understand the word of God and they are trying to teach it to others.
Salvation is not by work. PERIOD.
You don't go to heaven because of your good deeds. You go to heaven because of believing in Jesus and his finished work on the cross.

A new creation (truly saved child of God) can never go to hell because they have eternal life.
A genuinely saved child of God don't live in sin.

So who is lying among you two? I dont have time for nonsense; you two can kill yourself for all I care.

WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook. WTF...

justwise: That was the start of the allegation.

So you mean that was why he was denied entry? Are you working with UKBA? I will quote you when Oyedepo enter UK soon.

Obi1kenobi: You just speculated a load of crap. You do not know why he was refused entry. You just offered your own conjecture with pointless links. Insulting people about 100 Naira bandwidth just makes you look stupid.

And the greatest mark Oyedepo has made is siphoning money from the pockets of impoverished people who remain in the cycle of poverty while their "daddy" laughs off in his private jet. I respect the mark of people like Bill Gates who created and profited from a product from their intellect and make cutting edge developments that impact human civilization. I have little respect for pastorpreneurs who fleece their gullible flock and use a religious institution as an avenue to self-enrichment. They're little different from the rotten politicians who cruise around in money stolen from the public. Infact, they're close friends and roll in the same circles with such people.

I am hoping you can dispute the contribution of Christian religion to civilization. Tell us if tertiary education hasn't improved in Nigeria since Churches started founding universities.
