Trust me Elizade Nigeria used vehicles are certified. Nothing like deceit. You can go there and see for yourself. I guess their combining brand new and used was to make them also competitive because many companies are buying used as against brand new vehicles except for those that are highly financially bouyant enough to spend much on liabilities.

That's cool. Thanks for the info.

sacramento1212:
I am 100% sure of Elizade Nigeria. But not completely sure of Briscoe because i was only notified about Briscoe by a colleague.

I hope theirs is not those road side ones that deceive people? Not faulty ones?

sacramento1212:
No one is discouraging them from thriving and infact because of the manufacturing/assembling of cars locally, importation of cars became more expensive not even for brand new but also fairly used ones even though not factoring exchange rate to procure these vehicles.

Currently in Nigeria when compared to in the past, how many companies are buying brand new cars? In the past, a brand new Toyota Corolla used to sell for less than #4,000,000 but today it's almost times 3 of that figure.

In the past companies like Briscoe and Elizade i guess only stock brand new cars but today, they also sell fairly used even though certified to enable them remain in business. Where these car assembling or manufacturing companies willing to establish various plants in Nigeria get it wrong is that it seems they want the government to shut down importation of cars in Nigeria to enable them thrive, that's where they will get it wrong.

Government has even assisted them by even a massive increase in import duties/clearing cost to discourage import and for now that's a fair deal for anyone willing to invest in this sector.

You mean Bristol and Elizabeth sell [/b]Tokubo cars?[b]

I was pointing out that consumer and industrial goods of the same quality (not knockoff or imitation) cost the same amount of dollars: smartphones, cars, TVs, air conditioners, paint, tiles, generators, laptops, etc. Yes, there are cheaper (Chinese) versions that Nigerians have access to, but if an American bought those cheaper versions too, they'd pay the same price.

For instance, if a tokunbo Camry in Nigeria cost 1/8 the cost in US, then I would say the goods are cheaper in Nigeria, but that's not the case. Similarly for buying a machine for your business (of comparable quality): it's not 1/8 the cost if you buy it in Nigeria, yet it takes 8x the labour to get it.

In fact, after adding cost of import/clearing, the goods cost more dollar for dollar in Nigeria.

I actually contrived to understand you after deep simulation and relation. Not many people would understand you due to your complex narration in explanation. But I get what you're saying on the other hand, know that purchasing power of a currency and strength of middle class are other factors to consider in your analytical approach.

nextstep:
Reciprocity is what they say, but we know that when an American works to earn $100, it takes a Nigerian almost 8 times the labor to produce that amount... so the "pain" of $100 in US is like $800 in Nigeria. It's not really reciprocal. Not to mention the cost of living for their staff deployed in Nigeria is way cheaper than Nigerian staff deployed to US.

Anyways, those who want to go will still find 2-4 million Naira to go, even though it can start a very good business here.

I've been using this 8x factor since the GDP per person is US is about 8x Nigeria, and in comparing average middle-class wages, yet the cost of most goods of comparable quality (e.g cars, phones, even cement) does not change much between countries.

I don't get the concluding, the 2nd part of the concluding section of your statement. How does the cost of goods not differ much?

When I saw this post, my heart skipped thinking it's someone I communicated with recently. I have a secondary school hommie who was a cool headed guy sending me message on Facebook requesting I forward my num, after trying to reach him to no avail I forwarded my num to him which he later placed a call across and to my shock, he informed me he is in Kiri Kiri prison. He said his account was used to run a deal and the guys who used his account had bailed themselves out but since he is the primary case of reception, the duped fellow refused for him to be released. the guy asked me to send him recharge card so he could sell and get money to eat. I wanted to do that but when I evaluated the story he told me and tried to link the veracity, to an extent, it defied logic. I called some of our former classmates who stayed close to him then and I got not so palatable reports about him. given the fact he schooled at FUTO, my mind pushed me that he may have been involved in kidnapping or armed robbery and I discarded any motive to send money to him. My thought was - an issue may arise where the phone he is using is confiscated and phone calls tracked, given the gravity of the offense which he committed (which I am not too sure on), the police may have not concluded investigation and I can hamper my integrity and safety by my communication with him; we all know the police modus operandi, they would pick me up and beat the hell out of me to force a confession. Since most of our past friends had nothing good to say about him, I sent him a message back on Facebook telling him to stop calling my number and gave my reasons as spelt out here. I told him to send his mums num so I can send something through her but I might not do that again due to the reports I heard.
Living smart is you knowing your environment and living along its lines to protect yourself, imagine the people that wadume the kidnapper has brought into police detention by his calls when they didn't know he was on the run after being freed by the army. Use your number 6 squared in Nigeria. One little mistake can take 6 years out of your life for nothing.

ESSOHEngineers:
It is so bad in Port Harcourt that staff will hear of an inspection to be done by DPR for a company. This staff is not nominated. But just because he/she has heard about it, the staff will then go to the company and pretend like the real nominee for the inspection, take bribe, carry out a fake inspection and run away. Few days after the real nominees will then appear to the surprise of the company. It is appalling and shameful in Port Harcourt Zonal Office of DPR.

Are you upset about the fact that the company would now have to "bribe" two times? The company wouldn't have to bribe if they did what was right.

Heavance:
Sorry to burst it, it is not the most dangerous in the world.
It doesnt even make it to top 5 most dangerous..... but it is deadly as well.

Exactly what I wanted to correct.

He is yet to be refunded but he is in possession of a “make shift Laptop” so can he really say he has been scammed?

Yes of course. You used a beautiful product as a bait to sell something else. That's a scam my dear.

You’re right! He doesn’t know what he’s saying. Usa has the highest rate of scam in the whole world. Lately I was told about one scam that’s happening in the USA. If you go to a gas station to buy gas then insert your card to pay, there’s this device that can read your credit card details, every details needed to steal funds from your account. The device has been coupled with the pump card reader. Lord knows how they doing that! Usa leads others follows..

Even at hotel lobbies and clubs. Apart from that, the organizational level of the American society makes it easier to commit crime and stay anonymous. Forget the movies we watch, most of the successful criminals in the world cannot do without America.

zagadat442:
he called me that he wanted to buy the Nokia 3 I advertised, Nd he resides in Owerri, so we concluded that I should do a waybill that immediately he gets it, he will send the money. as soon as he got the phone, he stopped picking up my calls and switched all his phones off. Later he sent me a text that he want to access the phone for 24hrs Nd give me feedback, bloody criminal

The guy don delete im account.

Kingpee2:
How can you go to America of all places to run scam ,a country that has the highest data base record,that’s a country that never forgets ,ask yourself why hushpuppy will never go to USA despite how much he has made so far,he knows that’s a country that has all records of every yahoo boys sins,it’s crazy what is happening these day’s,it’s true that that graduates are seen as fools lately just because they want to depend on their monthly income while yahoo boys are seen as hero’s and are winning ,abnormality is now the new trend ,what baffles me most is the the countless names of Igbos on the list,Abeg it’s time we give them their Biafra ,at least If they want to spoil any name let it be Biafra and not the whole Nigeria ,the damage is much already ,imagine being in a class in USA and telling everyone you re Nigerian and you are being seen as a terrorist too the only difference is just that yours ain’t with bomb but yours can ruin someone’s life in seconds ....Can we please go back to our factory settings ....

The United States of America remains the easiest country to commit crime, most especially financial in the world. Take my statement wholly. It would surprise you that UAE is quite more difficult than you think.

yep

Wow, that's looks complex and magnificent at the same time. Dem no go kill us with technology. ZTE and Huawei are underrated. Those guys are beasts with their tech.

Innobarca this is your second account abi. See format. U think I don't know abi. Abegii

Omo if you are not smart enough to do a soft DD on a seller, then leave his tread instead of soiling someone's personality he has built over the years on honesty. Make him send laptop before you go pay, for this Nigeria?

DextrousDavid:
you wey go dey ask for money before u send laptop

Why won't he ask for money? Is he here for charity?

Okay but the population of Indians in Kenya isn't such that overwhelming as one might think.There are roughly 100k Indians living in Kenya and most of them are Indians of Kenyan generation or the 3rd generation, we call them Kenyans because some of them were born and raised in Kenya all their lifetime.
The population of Kenya is around 49 million, this clearly means out of 490,000 one is either a full Indian or Indian of Kenyan generation.

The place you visited in Kenya is called Visa Oshwal centre.

Ok, let me say there are lots of Indians in Nairobi and foreigners too. The fun centers we visited were filled up with them and they own lots of eateries, bars and relaxation centers. I tried in getting the name of the place. We made use of the hall for the event and the field for our party. Visited another big center at the outskirts of town which I can't recall now. It was a feast there.

Okay, which part of Kenya?

Only Nairobi. I attended an 8 day sub - Saharan African event by Google. It was held at the "visa ushwal" center. I don't know if I got that spelling right but it's an Indian heritage building. There are lots of Indians in Kenya surprisingly.

We're now in 2019 and the Airport has been undergoing massive transformation in security and efficiency services to fulfill passengers will to the fullest, portion of infrastructure too.
JKIA was ranked 3rd best airport in Africa after Cairo and Cape Town international airports respectively according to 2019 World Travel Awards.
Back in 2018, the airport was too ranked the best airport in Africa according to Airhelp survey.
JKIA is the transit hub of east and central Africa handling more than 10 million passengers annually.
I've never heard of MMIA in any merit ranking despite your claims it beats JKIA.

Meanwhile security checkpoint at JKIA, the airport is still 3km ahead.

That's my view though when I visited. I arrived by past 1 midnight, so wasn't in for much fancy look out at the airport and, nothing really caught me up about the airport but when we were driving to the hotel,wow, it was a beautiful scenery. Lovely skylines.

Yobeezy:
Sorry man, I thought you were one of the ignorant Nigerians who like downgrading and underrating Kenya being underdeveloped yet when you check all the current indices of development, Kenya beats Nigeria in most of them.Which year did you visit Kenya?

2014.

Yobeezy:
You've never been to Nairobi, look for someone else to fool so as to suit your stupid egos.
JKIA Airport alone beats all Nigerian airports in efficiency and infrastructure, real Nigerians who have been to Kenya have attested this.

As at when i was in kenya, which was 5 years back, i wasn't fascinated by the airport, except an upgrade has been done, i think MMIA beats it down.

Sorry, do you have comprehensional issues? Can you re-read my statement and understand the point I was driving? And by the way, what is so exceptional about visiting Nairobi that I should lie about. I spent a 8 days there in the heart of Nairobi. Visited Westgate mall before the attack happened, Nakumas. I stayed at jakaranda hotel.

We use grind stone ofcourse. In the process of washing the bitters out, you pound excessively before blending. My mom uses grinding stone or high powered blender.

Thanks

Reeoman:
I Will say a 8th Gen i3 is better than the 4th Gen i5, cause an 8th Gen i3 is much more newer than the 4th Gen i5, the new 8th Gen i3 will support much more faster ram like ddr4 or 5 self.
And the 8th Gen does have the thread to support newer games and should perform much more better than the 4th Gen i5

Thanks bro.
