This is the understanding of someone who is myopic or lacks depth of thinking about this policy. There are no quick wins to fixing a country. In the scenario you have painted one would expect that the public discuss would be how to make the policy more effective without bringing unnecessary hardship on the citizens.

The owner of the Sienna could also have taken advantage of the window created by the Customs to ratify his documents. Will you say someone who bought a stolen car should be allowed to keep enjoying the vehicle because he did not take the pain to do what is right.

Please governance is not for kids. We should learn to engage our minds and take a wider and far more reaching look at issues. The policy is the BVN of car importation in Nigeria and like the BVN it will assist in no small measure to curb corruption especially of custom officers.

Is the policy perfect? No.
Is it a good direction to go? Yes .
Can it be improved upon? Yes.
Who will assist in identifying the possible loop-holes ? We citizens.
Why the citizens? They are familiar with all the channels that government officials use to circumvent the system and cheat on citizens daily.

This is the way countries build systems.

I laugh at clueless nigerians who are supporting Tyrant Hammed Ali.

You bought a family car (e.g Siena) from a dealer who underpaid customs 6 years ago, Ali then ask customs officers to leave the borders ( their primary duty posts) and go out ILLEGALLY on the streets for stop and search, while you are returning from church with your family after being harrased by Police, Road safety, Vio, Latsma, Custom officers asks you to pull over, ask for your custom papers and declare that the dealer whom you bought the car from didn't pay enough duty.

They order you and your family members out of your car and drive to the custom office while you and your family trek home. Who is doing who?

You really think Custom officers will have the nerve to stop Saraki or Dino's convoy when they are on the move for payment of duty? It is you poverty-infested zombies who throw owambe when you buy your first Golf 2 and 3 that will be their target.
And when that happens, make sure you lament in silence and don't come here crying.

Don't buy a car unless it carries genuine custom duty.
if u dont do this and u get embarrassed along the road then u re at fault.
b4 I paid completely for my car I went with the dealer to custom's offc to verify the duty I was given.
If everybody stops buying car without proper duty smugglers will be out of business and that Will be better for our country.
buy a car without duty at ur own peril.
I work in a place where I cannot be arrested for fake duty, yet I insisted on having genuine duty.

Many of you 'liking this man' obviously do not own cars. and are oblivious of the illegality they are about to perpetuate. The real issue here is not about the uniform. Let us not lose sight of that. Customs officers are going to begin stopping cars at will just like the police, VIO , FRSC currently do. Their place of assignment remain the borders and ports. NOT INLAND/MAINLAND.

blazhykowskyi:
don't you think you are the clueless one if you think the senators are fighting for you? he appeared before them but they left the Germaine issue and focused on uniform. why didn't they discuss the main issue and put down their ego?

Looking for UNLIKE click to dash you for your thoughtless analysis.
I'm happy yourself acknowledge the illegality of importing the vehicle in the first place. What do you think would happen should you fail to pay a $10 dues on importation in the same countries your godfathers run to with our money? I'm sure you know the answer. I'm sure even you cannot do better as a customs head than this. At least not with this porous border as we have presently where every conceivable rubbish is imported with reckless abandon. Even, should you be a customs officer, how do you think k you can face smugglers with their charms and sophisticated weapons?
Let me enlighten you better by saying this is a strategy to disuade consumers from patronising illegally imported items and thereby stop smugglers from having their way.
I hope in your understanding unless of course you're yourself a smuggler

MaziOmenuko:
Lol...wise man, drag the judiciary into the scenario: its now executive vs legislative vs judiciary. Legislative can't discuss a case that is in court, and therefore, can't enforce your presence...very wise man.

I was thinking he would get a court injunction but that would have been a slap on the senators faces, so he went the easy way...

Wisdom is profitable to direct!
