WHY WON'T THE APC PHARISEES CALL FOR THE HEAD OF THE CONTROLER GENERAL OF CUSTOMS?

HE IS A NORTHERN MUSLIM THEREFORE IS A SAINT.

NIGERIANS ARE THIEVES EVERYWHERE THEY GO.

Isn't Atiku a customs boss?

gen2briz:
You mean stealing is not corruption.... Lol

Container worth 33million...yet had difficulty to clear it.If only the right thing was done...I doubt if he would be in this position.

People in authority making life difficult for their fellow country men since 1960.

erico2k2:
I dont think its the fault of people in Authority, His container got into expired free time.

Spirit1:
What do you mean by the right thing He can be made to pay fees and fines, or at least be part of the auction. Why would customs sell a container worth more than N33 million for only N250,000 They simply sell it to themselves through the back door.
If they must auction, make it a fair and open process.

Government is losing billions through such secret corrupt auction.

amusbay:

erico2k2:

Nigerian customs sold by Jeep worth N5.5 million for only N50,000!!!!!!
Yes , my offense is that the chassis number in the bill of lading did not match what is only the car. I explained and brought papers, even police clearance and affidavits from the U.S. to no avail.
Before I know it, car was auctioned to a faceless front of the senior officers.

This is just one way that the FG frustrates innocent Nigerians. How can you sell a car worth N5.5 million for N50,000.
If customs must auction seized items, let it be transparent. FG can utilize an independent auctioner. Publish all seized items online and let all citizens bid fairly for it.
That my car could have been sold for say N4 million easily as auction and this guys container for N20 million.

Imagine how much FG looses through this process that is conducted in secrecy??

Why are our people and FG corrupt this way.

GEJ and ministry of finance can change this immediately. It's no big deal. Just have an online site for auctioning government seized or surplus items.

Check out one for USA government :

I will lay the blame squarely on this man.

When people do things without information in a country like ours where impunity is the order of the day, they are only asking for trouble. I have bought and shipped in several cars from abroad and never had an issue. Always make sure that you have money for clearing your goods kept aside whenever you are shipping anything. If this fellow had done this, he would not be in this mess now. How do you containerize goods worth N33m and then just ship to Nigeria without your having money to pay for the clearance?

God Himself said: "My people perish for lack of knowledge."

You don't operate without knowledge in a society where impunity reigns supreme and justice is a world away.

Spirit1:
Did you just ask that question?? God forgive you and all Nigerians. Are you ignorant or for real?

vigasimple:
Thank you.

The mistake is solely on the man who shipped his goods without making provision for cost of clearing it.

why not buy goods of 28m and use the rest 5 million to clear it? or is he planning not pay custom duty?

Is common sense completely gone?
I do feel sorry for him but the same result would have happened in the country where he is living.

Lesson here for the future of would be for people shipping goods to Nigeria. Make sure you have money to clear your goods on time.

In as much as I sympathize with this fellow....pause a moment and look at the scenario....would you do such?I know what am talking about....I know people who import 100's of containers on a daily bases and yet experience no hassles.I know the system is corrupt....since we know...you must do all you can to get your goods cleared through the proper agents and channels.
