Lol. You are not a minister again, please stop lying. Ahn ahn

It was already due. They have been weakened already. You cannot beat a dead horse.
Wike and his cronies have done their worst.

Sonnobax15:

Honestly,I just want to use this medium to thank Seun so much for bringing the block option into Nairaland.....cuz come on,how and why on earth would/should any sensible Nigerian be in support of this terrorism that's ravaging allover the country

Honestly,I just love the block option cuz once I see such comments from such monikers,na to block Dem straight just dey come to my mind..

How do I block the guy beneath your comment.

I see it now, I'd prefer that the block button stay close to likee, rather than going to their profile to block them we can easily do that right on the nonsense they wrote

Putting on a red cap doesn’t make you a Titled Chief..
Clowns put on red caps too.

It is a symbol of value/authority. It is who wears it that accords it that value..

Maliq0277:
Red cap no get value again nau

Red cap na symbol of value, na the person wey they wear am no get value. If pig wear am e no go get.

Biglittlelois:
Lol keep lying to yourself

Divorce rate is higher today because women realise that they don't have to endure marriage with a deadbeat violent irresponsible cheat of a man because of a culture and tradition that doesn't respect and consider women's emotional, mental, and psychological health, a selfish culture that should be scrapped and rewritten cos no progress had been made in the Nigerian society today, only regression.

Bros you are just ranting and clearly evident that you have things against men. I am sure you do not know much the western culture improverished women until the late 1890's.

Biglittlelois:
Explain in 40 characters how his kneeling down concerns your existence on earth

Lol explain how my comments concerns your existence on earth??

Anyway FYI it isnt an African culture, if he wants to do it he should do it in the way the culture he copies does it. Red cap represents age, wisdom and authority not to kneel down for a human.

A red cap wearing man, kneeling down? Just wear suit and do your shit

This is funny Tinubu and Fawehinmi being your mentor at the same time..Two contrasting personalities

DomPerignon:
I don't need any permit outside a court eviction order to get rid of a squatter and his belongings off my land.

Does a landlord require a permit from the state governor to evict an erring tenant after a competent court has ruled on evicting the tenant ?

You are being clever by half. I did say demolishing and not evicting. Anyway whatever suits your narratives. Plus the owner of the property has filed a suit lets see what the outcome is

DomPerignon:
Why can't it be so when a competent court has ruled that the property in question belongs to the woman and every attempt to get the squatters failed leading to the woman to get an eviction notice that was ignored which will pace way for the woman getting a court ordered eviction notice.

Is it Lagos state that will evict a tenant who has been given a court ordered quit notice ?

Will you wait for government before you evict a squatter in your property ?

Before you demolish a building you need a permit. The workers claim not to know who sent them to demolish. Who approved the demolition? Was it the owner of the building ?That's the crust of the matter not any other political pandering.

Bovis:
I buy old and dilapidated buildings and rebuild them for a living. I have a demolition company I use to dismantle the old structures and it’s not unlawful for private contractors to do so. Therefore, Obi should have settled the case through the courts without dragging the Lagos state government into his land dispute

Do you just go into the builidng and demolish without recourse to the occupants? Do you act as an unknown person and send workers to demolish them, from the videos even the workers seem not to know who sent them. Is that how you operate? Also are the authorities alerted about the demolishing? Even in your line of business is there no regulation?

Enugurangers:
Unknown people are the squatters aka what what they call jon smith or jane doe on court documents in the USA. The property owner, the woman, has her name all over the court documents.

So was it the woman that requested the demolishing of the building? Even if it isnt Peter's brother's house does it mean unknown people can come without authority to demolish?

SoftSport:
Peter Obi’s lies have been exposed, Big praise to the Lagos State Government for speaking up and starting an investigation to show the real truth.

Big praise that unknown people can demolish houses in Lagos without authorisation?

bobonla:
What of couples way both na SS?
Anyway what is the reason behind low view and comments on this forum Seun?

Adoption is the way to go for thoes kind of couples.

MummyWealth14:
Na money be the major constraints for some couple

Yes IVF is expensive. The other option of prenatal testing is cheaper.

IVF, PGT and prenatal testing will solve this for those already in a marriage where both couples are of AS or SS genotype and those looking into going in one.

Wish every warrior good health and long life.

DrRasheed:
Out of school doesn't necessarily translate to poor and destitutes. The narrative about school being key to success is no longer sellable in the north

In the North? Where even the average send their children to Saudi, Egypt and the likes. Most of the out of school children are the destitutes

Gifts? How is this a gift?

This is compulsory damages that should be paid.

Great move for him. Great addition to the league as well.

blaise26abj:
The first person to start manufacturing great phones in Nigeria will have hit blood money . At that point the policy might make sense for such a person

Yes having a comparative advantage to those who import. Imagine taxing something we don’t manufacture at that level.

To alleviate the sufferings of the people, government should reduce the duty rates. I only found out yesterday that Levy is even taxed on phones. Imagine!!
They should also reduce the foreign exchange rate used in clearance it will solve a lot

Mathewrichard99:
You are yet to even calculate freight.....if the actual rate is given to the OP....he would abandon the phones at DHL just like many importers have abandoned their beautiful vehicles here in Tincan Port....
And imagine that these your calculations is for just 1pc of the phone. The 2pcs will definitely run the OP mad..... 😂 😂

Lol you get. Until we start asking the right questions rather than blame other people only then.

noobody:
In what way exactly have I spoiled anyone's biz?
And who told you freight forwarders are smugglers?
If the OP has a import licence,he won't pay jack shit on those items,the licence is what gives freight forwarders the edge.

And I still stand by what I said

DHL and co have connived with customs to rip us off when Ur concerns shipping from overseas..does not translate to me spoiling the there biz,it's the truth

Lol. When you say they connive please present your evidence and that’s spoiling their business, becaus you are talking without evidence.
You talked about import license. Lol those are given to some selected few for premium products. Eg medication, aircraft parts and not luxury items. I know you don’t know, I am knowledgeable in this business.

When you hear customs declaring revenue, you think these monies are going to the courier companies? These are the money that the government boast with. Bad government, bad policies affects all facet of our lives

Breakdown;

Assuming your phone cost 2000USD, shipping 17USD. Total cost is 2017usd converted to Naira at 1663 current exchange rate is 3,384,605.90.

Phones attract 10% duty, 7,5% vat and 5% levy - see the bad government policies.
Duty - 338,460.59, VAT is 297,463.20(a percentage of duty amount + total cost), Levy is 169,230.29 = 805,154.08
Note that those are the main charges. You also have supplementary charges such as CIS, ETLS & Surcharge which will amount to the remaining difference. Too tired to calculate those ones.

Bad government policies the people suffer.

noobody:
I wonder why you guys are members of nairaland,
We have thrashed this issues times without number,
You need fright forwarders to ship in items from USA,don't try to form smart by using DHL,FedEx,ups,Aramex,those guys are the worst.
They would rip you off,
They have collabo with customs to rip Nigerians off.

Best you can do,tell your brother to write DHL from his end to return his item since they can't deliver it.

Don't bother stressing your self,

No matter how you run am,you go still pay like 400k or more.

I wonder why you are saying this about people's business, because the freight forwarder smuggle things in does not mean what they are doing is correct. You say they are the worst because they are abiding to your local laws. These companies are not of Nigeria origin you do not expect them to belittle their standards because your government have placed in stringent laws to the detriment of her people

OP. How much was declared on the invoice? Add that to the shipping cost. Multiply by the prevalent exchange rate then you can see that the bad economy/exchange rate is what is killing you and not DHL.
This amount might even change if you dont pay on time and the exchange rates increases again

SaturnNick:
Most leaves are green. What green leaf are you suggesting?
