Hi,

How much will clear a Lexus LS350 2016 from Finland and estimated cost of shipping.

JustGuy:


Sorry sir I'm not an expert and can't advice you properly, though I think the C300 will be better.

I quoted you to ask a question mainly.
Haven used a C180 and a 406; not considering the issues you had with the Benz, how would you rate the performance of the 406 compared to the Benz?
I'm asking cos I'm hoping on getting a 406 for a start, though Benz is my first choice.
Thanks.

406 performs better esp when it comes to speed. C180 to mee is not much of a strong car for rugged person.

Let me chip in a little professional advice.
In order for you have a realistic estimate, I will suggest you give some specifications about the choice of materials or finishes you intend to use.
For example: state the type of roofing material, type of floor finishes, ceiling finishes, type of doors and windows, painting, choice of plumbing material for WC, Wash hand basin, electrical installations, viz-a-viz conduit wiring or surface wiring, chandeliers, type of luminaries etc.
If you can give some of this specification, I will give you an estimate that won't overrun my

initial estimate with more than or less than 5%.

Muhammad Sanusi II, emir of Kano and former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has recommended steps President Muhammadu Buhari must take to revive the Nigerian economy.

In a document acquired by TheCable, as presented at the meetings of the Joint Planning Board (JPB) and National Council on Development Planning (NCDP), Sanusi highlighted the problems with economy, proffering solutions for the Buhari-led admin.

ELIMINATE WASTEFUL AND ABUSE-PRONE SUBSIDIES

Sanusi highlighted the abuse of subsidies in Nigeria and the need to totally put an end to subsidy regimes. He applauded Buhari for the steps taken so far on subsidy, which has become visible in Nigeria’s consumption pattern.

“The Buhari administration has already made great progress in stopping the fraud associated with the subsidy regime,” Sanusi said.

“PMS import volumes have fallen from an average of 57 million litres/day in 2011 to 35 million litres/day in 2016. This is an achievement. The next step should be a full and unequivocal elimination of subsidy regime.”



FIX FAILURES IN THE POWER SECTOR VALUE CHAIN, STARTING WITH DISCOs

Sanusi said the president’s team must “petition for a specific debt raising programme to address unpaid arrears. Until this happens no new investment can take place”.

“Raise public awareness about the necessity of cost-reflective tariffs, including the hike in 2016. Raise fresh capital to pay off arrears to Gencos. These are N235bn and building. The higher the tariffs go (as they are bound to do) the more quickly they will build,” he said.

“Until these backlogs are paid, no one is going to invest in new generation capacity. Force Disco owners to make stipulated investments in metering. What I’m told is that many disco owners have failed to honour their terms of the agreement, both in investing in metering and upgrading the old infrastructure.

“Until this failure in the value chain is addressed, collection rates will never be good enough to achieve cost recovery, and the government/NBET will always be on the hook for the shortfall.”

He also called for a resolution of gas supply issues.

DIGITISE STATE LAND REGISTRIES, STREAMLINE RELEVANT LEGISLATION

Quoting World Bank’s Doing Business index, Sanusi said: “Nigeria remains one of the most difficult countries in which to register property. State governments can do something about this.

“In fact, Lagos State has already taken great strides towards simplifying the procedure of registering land by merging all relevant laws into a single piece of legislation.”

He asked that land registries be taken online and made easier for businesses in Nigeria.

RE-PRIORITISE PUBLIC SPENDING TOWARDS INVESTMENT IN HUMAN CAPITAL

“In Nigeria, the public sector wage bill went up from N443bn in 2005 to N1.659 trillion in 2012, driven by a 53% increase in civil servants’ wages in 2010,” he said.

“The government has consistently prioritised recurrent expenditure over investment – all the more so in times of economic difficulty and leading up to elections.”

He called for investment in human capital if Nigeria must make its way out of this economic quagmire.

PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT IN CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

“The economy has quadrupled in nominal terms since 2005, and the population has grown by over 40 million, but capex has barely changed.

“The major problem for Nigeria is revenue. Across all 3 levels of government, it collected just US$117 per person in 2015, and invested US$17. Kenya, with half of Nigeria’s level of wealth on paper, collected almost twice as much in taxes.

“If Nigeria is going to adopt an investment-driven model, it cannot rely on the public sector alone.”

Sanusi urged Buhari’s men to let the private sector also drive investment.

SET FX RATE TO INCENTIVISE CAPITAL INFLOWS, CATALYSE FDI

“Nigeria has made dramatic changes to its FX regime, moving from a hard peg to a free float. These bold steps have gone a long way to restoring its credibility.

“On a trade and inflation weighted basis, the naira has gone from one of the most over-valued currencies in the world to one that is now under-valued.

“A major barrier to bringing capital in from abroad has been removed; a major incentive to take capital out has also been removed.”

He said such incentives must be maintained as government set interest rates at levels that deter capital flight, dollarization.

BEWARE OF CHINA… PROTECT INFANT INDUSTRIES

“Beyond fixing the basic supply side issues, Nigeria also needs to take measures to protect its infant industries.

“Large surplus countries like China have been using the promise of investment and cheap debt to gain unfettered access to Africa’s local markets.

“But the relationship has become imbalanced. Without manufacturing capacity of its own, Africa can never provide meaningful employment for its youth.

“Successful policies in cement and auto assembly should be replicated for petro-chemicals and agro-processing.”

He concluded that government must get the appropriate macro policies in place and create a supportive business environment.

Thats our own beautiful Doosh

The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, on Thursday enumerated no less than a dozen policies the Buhari administration is putting in place to reverse the reverse the worrisome trend of the nation’s economy.
Mrs. Adeosun mentioned the policies as she fielded questions from senators during her appearance before the Senate.
The key areas Mrs. Adeosun highlighted as being of immediate concerns to federal government with regards to tackling the alarming economic situation are as follows:
1. We would streamline the cost of government and improve efficiency of public service delivery across the Federal and Sub-national Governments.
2. Targeted spending on innovative social programmes and infrastructure, including social infrastructure.
3. Direct and model economic policies away from oil and towards non-oil revenues as global demand for oil decreases and supply increases
4. Focus on delivery of basic services to the Nigerian population upon which business can be built and improved standard of living can be achieved.
5. Build revenue capacity across Sub-national Governments by increasing IGRs to reduce dependence on the Federal Government.


6. Alignment of fiscal and monetary policies across medium and long-term goals. 7. Increase investor confidence in Nigeria.
8. Increased revenue mobilization and plugging of leakages.
9. Greater focus on Power, Transport, and Housing because these areas help to create wealth.
10.strengthen institutions of government across board including tackling corruption.
11. A financial sector that is strong, resilient and able to support the real economy.
12. Inclusive and sustainable growth – mobile communication, film industry, financial inclusion, among others.

Please put me in your prayers…
I will soon be going for eye surgery…
The situation is getting out of hand…
For more than two months now…
Anytime I look inside my wallet…
I hardly see anything again.

—A distressed Nigerian

It was a business lunch by a group of investors who had eagerly been waiting for information about the business climate in Nigeria. But their guest, top official of a multinational banking and financial services company, who had spent a week in Lagos and Abuja before returning to the United Kingdom, was evidently in no hurry as she sipped her drink. After a while, she looked in the direction of one of the four men at the table and said, “If I say 1 and 2 is equal to 12 what will 2 and 3 be?” The man did not need to think twice before he responded: “The answer of course is 23.”

Shaking her head, the lady replied: “You are wrong, the answer is 5”. Before the obviously confused men in the room could react to such algebraic manipulation, the lady posed another question. “What if I join 3 and 7, what would that give me?”

This time, the man decided to hedge his bet: “The answer will either be 10 or 37”.



Smiling, the lady responded: “You are wrong again. The answer is 21.” And then she added the clincher: “That is the best way to describe what is going on within the Nigerian economy today where all the variables are up in the air. The only thing that is predictable now is the unpredictability.”

The foregoing conversation, which I learnt on good authority, took place about two weeks ago in a high-class London restaurant, tells a compelling story. But we need no foreigner to tell us how tough the season is since we live it every day; even though Nigerians may have learnt to laugh at their problems, as can be glimpsed from the “poem” with which I opened the page.

To be sure, President Muhammadu Buhari is not the cause of our woes, as most of the problems predated his administration. However, some of the choices he has made (or refused to make) have compounded the situation while there are no visible signs in the horizon that things would get better any time soon. If anything, there are fears that things could actually get worse, unless he makes a course correction in his approach to serious issues of governance.

President Buhari was in Qatar in February this year, seeking investible funds. I understand the Qatari authorities requested that he quickly appoint the Nigerian ambassador to Qatar, someone with sufficient clout and authority to represent our country so that a productive conversation could begin. Five months after, such a simple task is yet to be accomplished. In fact, as at today, Nigeria has no ambassador to any country, not even to traditional allies like the United Kingdom or the United States.

More than a year after dissolving the statutory boards of regulatory institutions that are critical to the economy, they are yet to be reconstituted. From the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to the Bank of Industry (BOI) to the Nigeria Investment Promotion Council (NIPC) to the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Nigerian Export promotion Council (NEPC) to the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission (NDIC) to the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) to the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) etc. there are no boards. Some of these institutions do not even have substantive Chief Executives. Against the background that barely 24 hours after she became the British Prime Minister last week, Mrs. Theresa May named her entire cabinet, you wonder why our leaders find it so difficult to do the little things that matter.

The office of the Chief Economic Adviser (which has a full complement of staff, including some with doctorate degrees) is still vacant apparently because Aso Rock does not need advice on economic matters. Meanwhile, the president makes pronouncements which suggest he dictates both monetary and fiscal policies from the Villa, leaving investors wondering about the independence of critical institutions like the CBN. If political considerations (including nostalgia about some imaginary past) rather than sound economic judgments determine policy direction, which rational investor would want to risk his/her money in such an economy?

Speaking at the Ramadan breaking of fast with members of the business community last month, the president condemned what he described as “the ruthless devaluation of naira,’’ saying that he was yet to be convinced about the justification for it. “I don’t like the returns I get from the CBN…In August 1985, the naira was N1.3k to a dollar, now you need N300 or N350 to a dollar. I’m neither an economist nor a businessman (but) I fail to appreciate the economic explanation” said the president who incidentally provided the answer to a question he claimed not to understand: “What has happened to us now is that we have maneuvered ourselves into a mono-economy which led to the collapse we are seeing now.”

That, Mr. President, is precisely the point. The wrong choices we have made over the years landed us in this position but what we need right now are solutions to problems that are already getting out of hand. On Monday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) categorised the North-eastern part of our country as severely food insecure. “This is about as bad as it gets. There’s only one step worse and I’ve not come across that situation in 20 years of doing this work and that’s a famine. We have to step in and quickly or we are going to have hundreds of thousands at risk of dying in the north-east of Nigeria” said Toby Lanzer, UN assistant secretary general and OCHA’s regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel.

Unfortunately, this challenge is not restricted to the North-east since hunger has become a national staple across the country as confirmed yesterday by the Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Chief Audu Ogbeh. With majority of the states owing their workers, some for as many as six months, the situation in Nigeria today is very dire. And while the Buhari administration should be commended for its social intervention initiative, it is also obvious that we need a more robust agenda to reposition the economy away from oil.

For instance, in the ranking of states by the 2015 Internally Generated Revenues compared to the total receivables from the Federation Account Allocation between June 2015 and May 2016 done by the Economic Confidential, only three states (Lagos, Rivers and Ogun) internally generated above 50 percent of what they received from Abuja. 17 states generated less than 10 percent of their receivables from Abuja; another eight generated between 10 and 14 percent while the remaining eight generated between 15 and 30 percent.

This is a clear state of emergency situation that will take more than some episodic financial bail-outs or ad hoc solutions to deal with. It is a situation that requires the president providing a national platform for discussing the way out in a more sustainable manner at a period inflation is soaring while businesses are either closing down or sacking workers. So bleak is the outlook that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which in April, just three months ago, predicted a 2.3 per cent expansion in the Nigerian economy, on Tuesday slashed its growth forecast, saying the combination of plunging oil revenue and weakened investor confidence would most likely push it into recession. The IMF now expects the economy to contract by 1.8 per cent this year. But what is the response from the administration?

At a most delicate period when there is an overflow of issues that require legislative input, the presidency and the National Assembly are merely tolerating one another. More depressing is the news that our lawmakers have just voted for themselves a two-month holiday at a time of national economic crisis. But what do you expect when the only notable contribution to national discourse by some of our “distinguished” Senators is that a female colleague has reached “menopause”?

Perhaps we should not be too hard on the lawmakers since the executive has not come up with any legislative initiative that requires their urgent attention. “I have, at least on three different occasions publicly requested the executive to, as a matter of urgency, send an executive bill on its intended reforms in the petroleum sector. We had hoped to avoid the situation in the past two assemblies (6th and 7th) where the PIB was sent to the National Assembly very late thereby guaranteeing failure to pass the bill” said the House of Representatives’ Speaker, Hon Yakubu Dogara, on Monday as he lamented a lack of urgency by the presidency in reforming the oil and gas sector.

While no objective person will blame President Buhari alone for the economic challenge we face today as a nation, many Nigerians nonetheless believe things do not have to remain the way they are. According to Dr. Aminu Usman, a lecturer in the Department of Economics, Kaduna State University, “the government can do better by coming up with clearly defined policies for each sector of the economy and move from wish list to the actual work of getting things done.” On a lighter mood, a friend suggested yesterday that, against the background of the current controversy in the Senate, the economy may also be going through the difficulty of being “impregnated” with fresh ideas!
With high incidence of unemployment, aging public infrastructure and a near-useless power sector that generates (for officials) only megawatts of excuses at a period the Niger Delta Avengers are daily wreaking havoc on oil and gas installations, there are three major issues begging for attention: Significant revenue shortfall from practically all sources; potential credit crisis because AMCON is already over leveraged and a seemingly intractable foreign exchange crisis that has shaken market confidence. To address these fundamental problems, it stands to reason that we need a serious economic management team but President Buhari still does not see any need for that.

Sadly, after a year spent blaming others, we are yet to see the economic direction of the Buhari administration or the policies and ideas that can possibly justify the endless aspersions on the past. Yet, whether his handlers realize it or not, this presidency will be judged not by how bad a leader Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was but by how much of a better leader he (Buhari) ends up to be.

In a four year presidential term, the first year is perhaps the maximum time allowed an incumbent to heap all blames on his predecessors. After that, he must take responsibility. Therefore, President Buhari can only imprint his legacy either in terms of his firm handling of the contemporary economic challenges or through the efficiency of the machinery of government he puts in place. As things stand today, a president who came to office with overwhelming public support may have worsened the problems he inherited, leaving the economy on the brink of recession.
