Not just these. The exchange rate of Naira against the dollar has been relatively stable for for a while yet the prices of foreign goods keep going up everyday, including the price of Tokunbo cars.

The price of cars keeps increasing everyday - the same commodity they attribute to increasing dollar. Has the dollar gone up in the last four to six months?

For used cars, they keep putting more duty to raise customs revenue. Moreover, the prices you see now is the actual reflection of the current situation after dealers old stocks have been mopped.

They left the most critical issues like corruption and bad governance. Where a governor is using 20 vehicles for fleet and the President uses double or more.
Indonesians were protesting over the weekend because their House of Representatives were getting accommodation allowance greater than their national minimum wage .
Meanwhile in Nigeria, 70k minimum wage amount would be seen as a joke if suggested for REPS members house allowance.
Nigerians are not ready yet!

ProudlyLagos:
what special indigenous status? And what brought eboes into this discussion? You lots just love to dwell in delusion and over estimate your self worth. Before you get too high on your delusion, may I tell you, you need Lagos more than Lagos needs you.

Lagos was already developed largely by the colonial master which developed the Lagos island which was British colony and administrative capital which the former fct and ended at fadeyi non Lagos, the rest of the mainland was under western region developed by Awolowo and most on the infrastructures was developed with proceeds from cocoa money. The Ikeja and ilupeju industrial estate was developed by him and other infrastructuress

Lagos was already developed before your ancestors started migrating to Lagos and we are just blessed with a good geographical location and good people which is why Lagos is why Lagos is a thriving economy that attracts investors and even dangote as far more investment and pay far more tax than what your petty trading activities contribute to Lagos.

Lagos is the one that is feeding you and your people, if not why not go back home and develop your region. Oyo state is just about the size of SE and yet Ibadan is far more developed and economically viable than your region. Lagos will never be annexed by eboes, you were not forced to come and develop Lagos, you can stay back and develop your region too, btw proudly Lagos

Why are you crying? So you love to indiginize Dangote but not Igbos. Did Igbos ask you to sell all father’s land to them?
Who is contesting revenue with you? Have you ever seen anyone going where the environment is not favorable? Is it not foolishness to build all these things you mentioned, just for another to occupy and benefit?
By the way , can you mention one state capital in the east which is less developed when compared with Ibadan?

Thanks for the response, what are the features of the one made by Abbott and where can I get it.

They are not sold OTC. It’s by prescription. Almost all pharmacies have them. People Just ask the doctor to send the prescription to the closest one here them. .
One of the advantages of the Abott brand is that the price is competitive.

ProudlyLagos:
where does dangote have the headquarters of his company and major investment and also where does he reside? Or I guess Adenuga is from Lagos too because those are the 1 & 2 richest in Nigeria. So common sense should tell you that the factors used to determine there location is based on where they reside and where they have the Hq of their investments is domiciled, no be everything dem go Dey explain for Una

Thanks for the honesty. The same special indigenization status should be given to most Igbo traders in idumota and Balogun market who have been there for more than 30 years and contributing to the development of their local communities.

3seriez:
Five actually. You left out BUA rabiu and Alakija

Is BUA from Lagos state?

ProudlyLagos:
that would be dangote and adenuga but I think otedola should also make the list because he is a dollar billionaire.

Is Dangote from Lagos?

koxyz:
Good day my brother, thanks for sharing this vital information . Please,I would like to know if this device is available in Nigeria,if not, can you provide link of how to get it.

I don’t know if they have it in Nigeria. The most popular one is made by Abbot.

okpouman:
How can Nigeria call it self a sovereign country when a lot of its actions are being funded by other sovereign countries.you hear Japan funding this,France funding that.

There's a problem somewhere
There's something we aren't being told

I am yet to understand and figure out how this works.

For example ,who is funding Japan?
Who is funding France?
Who is funding China?

They summon African LEADERS every year.

There's something wrong somewhere.

There's something really wrong somewhere

The truth is that there is great economic inequality between those countries you mentioned and subs shariah African. Go through that Onunuga”s statement about Nigerian mission at that event and you would understand that those countries are light years head .
They irony of it is that he is talking about seeking help in hydro power plant from people that have nuclear power plant to remain competitive.

Ndyoo:
Can someone recommend a good roofing company in the southeast?

Why are agents selling so lower on roofing materials? I was once directed to a company and the price they are selling is more than a 1000 naira per square meter.

A few people or roofers are selling much lower in comparison to the company? Why is that so?

They will do some serious calculations to gain from other aspects like labour, accessories and manipulation of total dimensions .
It could also be that when they are given like 10% rebate from the company, they share it with the customer in form of discount.
For instance, on a total of #3M , if the company gives 10%, that would be 300k . The agent could give the client a discount of 100k . So the client pays #2.9m (instead of #3m) but #2.7M actually goes to the company. Agent still gained #200k. This is money the agent will never get if he is not smart enough follow this strategy.
Win win for everyone.
Remember that most companies do not want deal with individuals because of technical issues that might warrant return or going back and forth . These issues have implications in terms of damage, cost of restocking and transporting back the items.

On a lateral view chest X-ray, only the edges of the knife will show ; in a wire like string appearance and not the flat body . Also if the knife made a hole on its path across the chest to enable ours to come out, why then is the knife behind the sternum on the image?
Thirdly, the heart is oriented just a the point below the breast. Why did the knife miss it?

Konquest:
The investigations and original court case ended long ago right in 1993 when the U.S. Federal judge acquited the now President 'Bola Tinubu of ANY crimes or drug-related links like I stated in my FIRST EVER response to you. The civil forfeiture of 460,000 USD was the ONLY thing Tinubu with the remaining money OR balance "returned" right into his 8 U.S. bank accounts and he promptly flew back to Nigeria after clearing his name. This was in 1993 and I remember that case because it was in the media in 1993.

Then again in February 2003, in response to the PDP-led Federal Government of Nigeria's request to find out if the then Governor 'Bola Tinubu of Lagos State had any criminal records in the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) central database which contains ALL the names of those ever arrested with criminal convictions on United States soil, and Michael Bonner an Attorney who was the Legal Attache of the United States Embassy in Lagos State forwarded a response to the Police Investigators led by the then Police IGP, Tafa Balogun emphasizing that the the Governor 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu had NO criminal convictions hence has NEVER been involved in drug crimes.

The United States Embassy is an extension of U.S. territory or soil, and this is why if you launch a terror attack on any U.S. Embassy worldwide, it's a direct attack on the United States. Same with an attack on any country's Embassy worldwide.

The newly signed Cyber Crimes Act of 2025 is already in FULL effects with corresponding heavy punitive measures to end online disinformation and this is why I've detailed this out for you and others these CLEAR facts because I can see that your post error was NOT intentional but based on the deliberate disinformation you read from those opaque online sources. Obstinate people WILL definitely be picked up by the intelligence agencies for repeatedly spreading massive disinformation with the intent to cause chaos such as these here on NL and other online platforms. Reno Omokri himself having properly educated himself about that 1993 court case has retracted his earlier campaign and politically-motivated accusations being a UK-educated lawyer himself. Ignorance of the law is NOT an excuse. Period.

ImI've emphasized enough and will end my convo here and NOW.

Was Michael Bonner a party to the case or connected to the case in any where? How do you feel comfortable presenting an opinion that arose after the fact /case, as if it was weighty and cardinal in deciding the matter?
You wrote this lengthy statement without any substance. Simple question, where is the document from a US court signed by a judge that documents what you have put forward here? It that too much to ask?
Did you know that there’s absolutely no dismissal of any case without documentation?. Since you have alleged that the case and forfeiture was without merit, it is therefore upon you to proof with supporting evidence in that regard.
We are illiterates here.

Listen, paying attention is key here, so don't muddled things up. In your ORIGINAL post that I quoted, I had to correct YOU when you WRONGLY typed that the , $460,000 forfeiture was for "drug crimes." It was NEVER for drug crimes BUT a case of unpaid tax deductions which he didn't pay on time because he was away working in Nigeria. It's a U.S. Federal crime if you don't pay your taxes here. So, that $460,000 out of the $2.8 million in the then Senator 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu's 8 United States Bank accounts had the $460,000 deducted from the total, then the rest was RETURNED to his bank accounts.

So, that $460,000 forfeiture WASN'T for drug crimes as FALSELY claimed by a lot of these random bloggers and propagandists online and offline.

INFACT, the United States Government would have seized all the entire $2.8 million in Tinubu's U.S. bank accounts if he was into hard drugs BECAUSE they have zero-tolerance for "drug b***ns."

I wanted to ATTACHED the U.S. Embassy's Legal Attache Michael Bonner's official 2003 document CLEARING the now President 'Bola Tinubu of any crimes ever in the entire history of the United States, BUT it's NOT attaching to NL.

This is why I gave you those 2 links to read. You will see and read Michael Bonner's 2003 official document CLEARING Tinubu ATTACHED on the Page 1 of the thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/7589449/tinubu-not-drug-baron-david

Is Michael Bonner a Judge that he would have the power to “clear” anyone of case that was before a US judge?
Until you present to us, a court document signed by a Judge regarding the forfeiture, no educated person will take you seriously.

Konquest:
DESIST from further typing that B.S historical disinformation you are spreading there. Some of you guys just keep recycling these FAKE news and old wives tales because it makes you feel good. Read the link right BELOW to see and read the official 2003 document from the United States Embassy in Lagos State through the then Legal Attache Michael Bonner clearing Tinubu of any accusations of crimes in the United States. The United States doesn't do plea bargaining with drug b**"ns.

https://www.nairaland.com/7589449/tinubu-not-drug-baron-david

There was NO forfeiture for any criminal drug case by the current Nigerian President. The United States Government as of 1993 and the United States Embassy in 2003 through the then Legal Attache Michael Bonner CLEARLY stated in official documentation that The former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu NEVER had any hard drugs-related case, never been and his name has NEVER been in the FBI National Crime Information Center (NCIC) central database of ALL arrested or convicted people in the United State. Period. Is this too difficult for you people to understand?

https://www.nairaland.com/7589449/tinubu-not-drug-baron-david

Keep deceiving yourself. Even Father Christmas does not forfeit $ 400k just like that. The information you are trying so hard to rewrite is all over the internet. I don’t know what you would do about that.

FreeIgboho:
Pure Nonsense. Nothing like that back then and Nigerians always cane back home after their studies or biz trips NOT start washing dishes or cleaning nyash over there!

At what time did Chicago boy forfeit a large sum of money in plea bargain to the authorities in the US for a drug related case?

lagonovo:
We agree with you as we patiently wait for your big investment in talent hunt.

PM me. Opportunities are plenty . Not a one off thing.

Just money from one abandoned project can build this house. He does not have to stress his pocket.
Even egunje from one contractor alone , money go be like water.

There are certain things you can’t pursue with poverty mindset . $500 is too small to invest in talent hunt.

Professor Charles Soludo is eminently qualified to be president.

Hahaha, that is when you will know all these sycophants celebrating him are two faced. They will remind him that he is Igbo.
I dare him to announce such intent.
But it is better he does, so that he will stop deceiving himself. Even that Umahi

Please what is the minimum year required for vehicle for Uber?

Germany even south Korea

That is good to know. I will be needing a Camry or Honda Civic. But if the price is good , I might go for a Toyota Highlander. Can you help with any of these?

If you follow the pattern of this administration in political appointees, you will realize that River state and Abuja are two places they have made strong political maneuvering.
Look at the two individuals they have placed in those places , that is how they intend to win 2027. Same Rivers election magic will happen in Abuja in 2027.
And your guess as good as mine with regards to why Ibas is being positioned in Rivers state .

It is $2,000 per container with 4 cars.

What kind of business do you want to do?

Thank God I found you here. These people have charging me between $1300-$1500 for each car.
Can I have your contact?

Come sit down follow drink.

Ozuor.

Read this and get sense. Everything is not Cho Cho Cho.
I wonder why you guys like talking about things you know nothing about with so much authority.

highchief1:
my brother,fear no let me talk.If u get the info from am pls share with me

Even the $2000 he mentioned for container is not even enough for inland trucking to port . I wonder by people say things they know nothing about with authority.

NotOfThisWorld:
Just imagine. This one will be beating his wife at home. And people were still go to his church. In a saner climate, he would just resign.

You are totally confused. Do catholic priest marry? Which one is beating his wife at home? Do they even have private homes?

forgiveness:
Someone bought car with 1.7m shipped it with $500 ($2000 per container with 4 cars) then cleared the car with 2.4m.

Is that not something else?

Please which country do you ship cars with $500? I need to know , maybe we can do business

Nigeria leaders are heartless. With the current hardship in the country, even the slightest ways of reducing the suffering of people are being ignored.

Davido is a citizen so it won't be difficult for him,I believe there's a reason why he want to do another wedding over there.

Probably automatical citizenship for her or so cos on a norm I see no reason for another wedding.

That is what happens when you have the dna of agboro in you. If you see them resting on Danfo for owo mi da, you will think that their life has duplicates. It’s God that gave him a second chance! Let him not change his ways!

The town and its dweller are more evil than the village where u can survive when ur broke and move about freely and safely

Hahaha, that’s the whole purpose of the village people., to make poverty appear normal. Any man in that state has been defeated psychologically.
