Big man , stay in your house and run your mouth. Those in Frontline are men like you.
Abeg I no wan derail this thread.

Lol. I'm no acclaimed soldier like u purport to be so I have no business in the battle front rather u should be.

I wonder who drafted this little boy in the NA if actually he is one because from ur picture u dnt look 18.

Imagine sitting in a car with this small boy and him giving me assurance to be crossing state borders at this critical time?

You guys wants to start another round of unnecessary and very silly arguments, right?
Hope you realise this someone's business platform and am so sure you wouldn't like someone else to do the same to your business. So please let it go. thanks

I've brought more than one car from Lagos...
Police will ask, but I'm not father Christmas.
Learn to reply people without snide remark.

I'll take any car to any part of the country without giving police one kobo. If you can't, I can!

This is my last reply to you.

It's a simple thing my brother; why do you have to give Police money when you have your papers
Even custom officers just want to be sure the car was'nt smuggled. So why the fear when you paid all duties.

9icetoo:

bros calm down oo. U no dey enter road oo. If you like get everything complete, as long as say na fresh Tokunbo motor, you must drop something or else expect exceptional delays.
If the car has been registered, then na only custom go worry you. But without a plate number, police no get your time oo.

Bros it's your approach that matters; show police you are ignorant then you will be unnecessarily cheated. You can still drive your new car for a certain period before the registration process is concluded and I don't think it's less than a month.

Mayor555:


Composure and wittness matter in all these things, it's something I do, was on the road this last month before the lockdown with a toks car.
Police will go straight to the matter asking for money, I'll tell them how I've been stressed out and I don't have cash.

Like I said self possession matters. I've said enough on this issue. Make I die the matter. But let me say again, I'll drive a toks vehicle to anywhere in Nigeria and not give police a dime without my wish (yes, some policemen will start hailing and even practically beg you to give them something, that one na aside. And even at that, na still my choice to give or not)

Enough said, make the matter rest ike that.

God bless.

I agree with you my brother. You don't have to give Police money. Once Police discover you know your rights, same police threatening you will immediately switch to begging you for money.

Bro, each time i go to the East (with unregistered cars) i spend well over 20k on police/customs settlement.

Don't know your routes, but once you turn right at Sagamu bypass to face Benin express the nightmare starts, police checkpoints almost every 2km stretch.

Now, we're all different, I can't leave my house 4am and want to still be on the road by 6pm, all cos i let police delay me over #200 settlements. If you don't want to pay, of course you won't pay, its all about scale of preference, which do you value more, your money or your time.

Calculate multiple #200 payments and FSARS will tell you they won't collect anything below #500, refuse and you'll be delayed. Imagine when 20 checkpoints take 30 mins each away from your journey, won't be funny

hypernikao:
Hello people, I'd like to know if it's possible to transport cars from lagos to port harcourt in this lockdown. And for the people that have transported cars purchased from amdman to other state, is it at the port that you got ur plate number and a driver that took it to your preferred state, or you arranged it before time?
Thanks for your response in advance

What vessel are you expecting ur car to come with?

hypernikao:
Thanks for the input everyone, I appreciate. It seems like one can't beat police check points with a new plate, but I think these drivers that transport cars interstate know how to settle them. Na to channel my energy to getting a reliable driver, your recommendations will be well received.

You don't have to be afraid of the police, as long as you have all documents. If you don't want to give them money the worst they can do is delay you and that is if you maintain a pleasant personality. For customs once they see that your importation papers are in order they don't give much wahala.

On this thread: People who have a flawed scale of priorities.

My time is important to me. E go shock you how when dem stop you friendly ask for settlement, you no go gree, then dem go say make you park, then carry out a thorough car search + document inspection.

Then multiply that by the 50 checkpoints on the road, and I bet you'll start settling before you get to Ore.

Has the title of this thread now changed to How to effectively transport a car from Lagos to anywhere in Nigeria?

Mayor555:


Why should I give police money when I have my Driver's license and I didn't steal the vehicle.
Police have nothing on me driving a toks. Weytin dem wan ask? But with plate number they'll always want to crosscheck papers, and asumming he gave the car to someone to bring down to port Harcourt, they'll always ask for the owner of the car, just because the names on the Driver's license and vehicle registration are not corresponding.

Baba, taking it to port without registration is the best....

But for custom, you register o, you no register o, so far the car is fine, them go stop you.

You are wrong on police crosscheck papers and assuming he gave car to someone to bring down to PH. Nothing concern then if papers info differs to driver license info, in as much the car wasn't reported to them stolen. I have delivered cars out of lagos on many occasions and police has never asked for papers for them to cross check, though on some cases they ask of drivers license which I always show them and they search if I have any exhibit. Which one is so far car is fine them go stop you. Are u saying they will always stop all fine cars or latest cars that they believe people fit cut corners of underpaying the duty?

rationalmind:


Driving within Lagos is the problem. There shouldn't be any issue once outside Lagos. Will only cost a lot of money settling policemen and military men stationed at state boundaries and checkpoints.

A colleague recently came in to PHC from Ibadan.

In similar situation please, would like to enter PHC from Ibadan,. Can I know the details...Did he join public transport or drove himself down?

OK sir, let's move on.

You will derail with impunity when it suits your purpose, when someone else does, you cry wolf. If the cars are bought won't they be transferred? The OP sometimes ships cars with replacement parts and even services the engines atimes, you think he doesn't know that he's supposed to sell cars "as is" alone? As always if you're ready to go down the name calling route, mention my moniker on a dead thread, let's have fun.

He was driving. Had his ID card with him and claimed to be on essential duty. That didn't help much so he still had to grease the palm of police officers at checkpoints.

The most challenging according to him was Benin Warri boundary. Once he passed, it was a smooth ride

Ignorance?
Somehow, somewhere, it has been suggested that sometimes, money is parted with.
Papers being complete? In an unregistered Tokunbo car? You think those policemen are there to look at papers?

If they sense you are a newbie, they park you. If they haven't made enough money for the day or one degenerate and overzealous newbie is in their team, they will park you. People pay not because they don't have the papers but because they do not want their time wasted.
You think a courier wants to spend two days delivering a car to ph or Abuja?
As per customs, if you like pay your duty in full, if you like underpay, those boys for Benin go collect something unless you are a known regular or know people and have better connect on your phone. Else, you must drop. They see it as their entitlement. Read my posts, I travel regularly. Very regularly.
