so u mean jeep is d name of a suv? cos i know really understand u

'Jeep' is just one brand of SUV just as 'Ariel' is one brand of detergent.. but Nigerians have turned it into the general name for SUV.

Legislathieves!!! And I thought David mark said they have been making 'sacrifices' , guess this is one of them.

Yes, they are sacrificing 70% of the vehicle value for their personal pockets.

Hmm they're still right, although the acronym SUV is better suited for the type of vehicles. Nice observations.

The game is now to discredit the General before President Osinbajo resumes.

Osinbajo is America's stooge, he would role out Ebola "vaccine" , just learnt Osinbajo law firm represented Pfizer in the law suit brought against them for their experiment on Nigerian children.

America sponsored Osinbajo to be next president

The expected year on year depreciation factored into the final valuation isn't excessive so i have no problem with that. However, they need to be transparent about the deductions made as stipulated so we can be absolutely certain they aren't just handing over the cars for free

It is excessive. 30 percent for 4 year old cars is way too excessive. 50% would have been understandable.

After using it for four good years. Am some how tired of this country I wil relocate to a beter place .

This is the result of insisting on calling any SUV jeep. No problem calling any brand SUV jeep when in Nigeria...but does the person know better? It is dead wrong and irresponsible when the established media as in this case would be referring to any SUV as jeep....Prado jeep. How would the masses be educated? @Topic....how low life can these politicians be?.....shouldn't tv's, furniture, curtains etc ...office stuff be left in the office?....or if unwanted transferred to lower offices or sold to lesser employees? Jeez...guess they even packed toilet tissue.

According to kelly blue book

"New cars fall precipitously in value almost immediately after purchase. In fact, on average they lose about 9 percent of their value the moment you step in and drive them home for the first time and 15 percent per year after that. Over the first five years of its life the average new car will depreciate 65 percent in value according to Kelly Blue Book. That means if you purchase the average $20,000 new car today, it will be worth around $7,000 when you go to sell it five years from now. No one could call this a sound investment, and unless you plan on keeping your car for an extended period or until it just stops running, new cars are not the best way to go."

And government will have to use huge sums of money to buy another set of operational vehicles for the incoming 360 house members and 109 senators. Seriously, we are expecting things to change in the country and I hope it will start from the national assembly. We really can't continue with this type of wasteful system.

All these luxuries must be reduced if Nigeria must progress. can u imagine (109*9m )+ (360*6.5m). Even the members of the NASS that r returned will get fresh every thing. what a waste

Hmmm...a govt of wasting, by wasting and for wasting resources# shame

walemoney007:

abeg, no mind him ooo, my own dictionary says a jeep is a brand of vehicle that's suitable for rough terrain.

1).An official of the National Assembly management, who confirmed the “deal” to The PUNCH in Abuja on Tuesday, said, “The cars have been used for four years, so this valuation has taken cognisance of the years of depreciation.

2). Investigations also showed that, aside the operational vehicles, each of the senators, on resumption in 2011, was given 300 per cent of their total basic salaries as car loans and 300 per cent as housing allowance. About 250 per cent was advanced to them as furniture allowance.

Each of the senators, according to investigations, is receiving N1.8m basic salary monthly while the Senate President’s basic salary per month, is N2m.

One of our correspondents learnt that the car loan, which was about N6.5m per senator and N7m for the senate president, was used to buy a brand new Toyota Camry car each.

Who is fooling who??

Off topic. Open a bloody thread to spew this trash or better still, just die already!

lemme just ask you one question, if you bought a brand new kia sportage for 7m and you registered it and used it for four years. Please tell me how much you would sell the car after using it for four years?

CodeineJunkiee:
Duhh Nigerians are still right. I think you should be the one to google the meaning of "jeep". Cos a manufacturer uses it as a trademark doesn't defeat its real meaning

so you just bought a new car and someone asks you what car did you get
so you'll say a Jeep, when it's maybe a Honda pilot (a sport utility vehicle)?

and a little history for you

A sport utility vehicle or suburban utility vehicle (SUV) is a vehicle similar to a station wagon, estate car, or van usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on- or off-road ability. Some SUVs include the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan or large sedan.

The original 1984 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) by American Motors combined a passenger car with truck chassis for ease of driving in difficult conditions, as well as established the modern SUV market segment and its popularity in the late-1980s and early 1990s. The compact-sized XJ Cherokee was one of the most best selling SUV models ever made, with over 2.8 million built between 1984 and 2001.

ITbomb:
I knew sooner or later the "it is suv not jeep" group would show face.

Every country has a unique way of ascribing names to certain things and this is uniquely Nigerian. It is not a mistake but a full forceful statement that this is how we want it called and there is nothing you can do about it.

you don't have to do anything about it, I'll take it as a sign of not being exposed enough.

I'm sure you wouldn't expect me to pluck out a figure from thin air....

I would do the following:
Do a market research on the going rate for similar vehicles in the open market most especially taking into consideration factors such as:
Age/year of the vehicle,
Mechanical state of the vehicle
Cosmetic state of the vehicle
Mileage of the vehicle.

bla bla bla

Corruption is a celebrated Nigerian culture.
