Just imagine the crowed the two will get if Kwankwaso agrees to deputize Peter Obi.

APC and PDP will be in the mud

How can kwankaso agree to deputize obi. Politics is a career and everyone's dream is to attain the highest position in their various careers.
Ambition wise kwankwaso has had a long life ambition and tried to be president3times now, Obi's ambition is fresh.
So how can kwanks accept, let them all go to d field to test their popularity, politics is a game of nos

She for don open comment section.......fear da catch her.....she for collect enough backlash.

You can't be marketing a good candidate and close comment section..........it shows that deep inside of her, she knows that tinubu is a bad market

Must everyone support who u support, cant people have diverse opinions?
Nah wha ooo

Itsrm:
Yes plus about 200k for terminal and agent charges. Total is less than 1m

So agents make that little, nah wha ooo. Who would have thought

Itsrm:
Check again. Its 336,000. I also have it

Yes sur its 336,000, X 2.36= 792k
Everything you have on that list is multiplied by 2.36 to give u total surface

chukel:
clearing 06 Camry then was 550k. Clearing 2000 to 2013 now is 960k. These amounts mentioned covers shipping charges and all other fees. These are the total clearing amount the importer pays the agent.

.
I saw a list shared to clearing agents. Total surface for 2000-13 camry is 792k, shipping charges is not inclusive, agents profit is not inclusive, I dont see how final clearing can be 960k sha, but if u insist I might just be using your contact ooo.

chukel:
no. You are wrong about Camry. The difference is about 500k. So landing cost will not be 4m. Difference for corolla is about 400k. The problem is with Lexus and Mercedes. Those ones na die. I cleared an 08 ml350 in March for 600. That same 08 is about 2.6m now. Difference of 2m.

How much was the clearing for 06 camry then and now?
I am sure surface duty(total) for 2000-13 camry is almost 800k.
U pay shipping charges a d all the undocumented charges almost another 200k.
Give or take clearing agent will go home with 200k.
I am guessing before it was around 550k

Felicity001:
I was lucky to get a 2002 red top C180 toks standard (owner bought and used for just few months without registering the car) for just about 1.2m last month for a client...

Got a Volvo 2003 S60 toks for another client last week for just 1.1m car came in 2021...

All by God grace...

I just went through that article posted by itsrm now and it got me really worried because how many Nigerians can actually afford vehicles from 2013 upwards especially in terms of maintenance?

Those into ehailing business what will be their fate?

It's the end of the road for the camry 02-06 and there likes, landing cost is close to 4m, plus sellers profit will take it a little above 4m.
I understand the NCS policy and it should be applauded but it's always a case of the cart before the horse when it comes to policy implementation in Nigeria.
I suppose local assembling plants and manufacturers should have been put in place and empowered to produce cars that will fill the void of 2m-4m cars no matter how basic the car is. This will drive the much needed industrialization.

Itsrm:
It's a terrible situation to be in.

If the vehicle was for sale and he had cleared it, na to begin type available, available like hubcruz till 2027.

Who will use 5m to buy a 2004 c240 when you can add 1m and buy a 2012 C300/350.

With current reality it will be very difficult to find a 2011/12 c300/350 for 6m.
Also right now I doubt if you will find any foreign used car below 4m.
Except the seller doesn't plan on replacing the car

Itsrm:
A lot of people were ambushed by customs and I also fell victim. The vehicles on the sea when the came up with the VIN nonsense. You either pay to clear it or leave it there to keep accumulating demurrage.

Going forward, no one in their right senses will buy a 2007 vehicle. Just save up to get a 2013. They all cost the same to clear

My bro, no be small thing, I know someone that has 2nos of e350 07/8 at the port, he is looking for 4.8m to clear them. Lessons learnt

SeaTrade:
You clear 07 C230 at 2.3m?
What kind of business decision is that?
Why import it in the first place?
You could have gone for newer models cos no one in their right senses will pay 5m for an 08 C300,let alone 07 C230.
Wasn't a very smart decision if you ask me.

U could easily have asked why before feeling like Albert einstein on making smart moves.
Car was bought and enroute already before the new vin valuation, cleared a 2007 e350 couple of weeks before this and I cleared for 650k.
Only option I had was to abandon the car at the port, will u call that a wise business decision?

Omo see as everywhere quiet!
All Benz issues resolved. Nothing to discuss.
Zero Benz issue for everyone.
Later these other guys go come dey talk say Benz no dey reliable.
Benz our No. 1 Brand. Lagos to Onitsha to Warri to Maiduguri to Europe.
Over and Over again we choose Benz.

Chairman, I don suffer for Mercedes hand in recent times.
My 06 e350 made a funny clinking sound one morning stopped abruptly on the road and never started again( after series of diagnosis was advised to change engine as it is not rebuild able)
Bought a c230 07 for re sale, run and drive good milage, no accident history) loss was recorded as " other" on the auction site.
Vehicle came in and wont start, it actually came in with no oil in it, put some oil and they it came on but wldnt run smooth and reported all cylinder misfire. Had to eventually change the engine after no solution.
Works fine now and no error code.
I don suffer my brother.
Ohh I forgot to say I cleared the car a 2.3m so now I am stuck with a 5m(cost of landing and repair) 07 c230

Thank you all, I finally had to replace the engine after so much trouble shooting and no solution.

Guess this w211 engine is problematic, from my research it is usually not rebuild able. Once it loses pressure that's it. This is the second one ghosting me in less than 1year.
from my mechs to part guys in ladipo, to my electrical guy everybody advised on trying to fix it as it was a journey into futility .
I even had another brain box programmed on it, still gave same error code.

Twob:
Check your EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve, maybe it has been clogged, stuck closed or opened. Vacuum leaks also must be checked. Your throttle body must be checked for dirts and oil stains.

Thanks for your input, I will mention it to my mech.
If the EGR valve has a issue, shouldn't that be picked up by the scanner.
As at last scan only error code was for all cylinder misfire

sultaan:
You said all cylinders misfire but there is another code there that you have not noted.


What was done before all these problem started did anyone work on the car and what did they fix

It's a tokunbo car, just bought it in, so I wouldn't know if anything was done.
All cylinder misfire is the only code

pswglobal:
since u ve done all dis and no solution why not try and run engine cylinder compression test.

Thanks for your reply, will do that.
Have you had any experience with this engine

This one too will be complaining about apc and pdp, yet u collect loan u know wan pay back.
Small thing he will say I want to japa shey nah this kind of credit mentality u wan use japa.
No man can fix Nigerians,
Nigerians will fix Nigeria

Karlovych:
It seems the entire region is filled with brown roof, all the people Awolowo sent abroad to school back then couldn't come back to build modern-day roofing for their people, spits.

No wam, this one enter sha. 1-0

Hello i have a 2007 c230 with the 211 engine , vehicle doesn't run smooth at idle. scanned it a it reported all cylinder misfire
changed all spark plugs, coil and serviced injectors and also change maf
same result.

my meco advised that at this point change of engine is the only option left.

has anybody had this problem and how did you solve it

GreyLaw:
You are talking nonsense! He is a presidential candidate, not a president. How is he suppose to campaign for governorship candidates? You just want to talk but please make sure to say something reasonable!

That kind of campaign happens when the man is president already, not Obi who is still trying to even find his feet.

How old are you?? Your arguement is so naive.
Is tinubu a president? Was he not in ekiti.
Tomorrow atiku will be in ekiti. Is he also a president.
I am tired of all u youngins

Bomboiy:
Simon Ekpa is an idiot.

He is a saboteur, he's being funded by APC/PDP to sabotage the efforts of Ndi Igbo politically.

On behalf of Ndi Igbo I denounce the dimwit.


Igbos are fully behind Peter Gregory Obi,the massive queue in different inec registration points in the southeast is a testament of that.

Ekpa is an idiot now because he attacks p.obi
He wasn't an idiot before the election process and I am sure he wont be an idiot once elections are over and p.obi loses.
Wash rinse and repeat.
Politics is not an individual game, if a serious contender defects to another party it is expected that politicians with structure follows suit. Edo no be lagos is an example.
Who is going with p.obi to Labour party.
When G7 defected to apc in 2015, they went with all the party structures in their state.
Who followed obi to Labour party?
I expect by now if the SE really loves obi, LG chairmen, state hse of assembly members, counselors should be moving in that direction, nobody wins elections without this guys. They are the closet to the people.
How is a aspiring or returning senator under pdp going to campaign for pdp in his own constituency and also campaign for obi as president when both elections hold on the same day.
The thing never clear sha

Soylife:
Oga waste that vote on obi,as far as I am concerned apc and pdp are the same.
obi doesn't have to win,we just need to send a message that the youths are getting wiser and won't keep voting pdp or apc,and they will have no option than to sit up
Lets join hands to convince more people to vote right.

So what changed, you were ready to vote obi under pdp but since he left pdp, apc and pdp have become the same.
The level of double standard here nah wha ooo.
Obi was handed the structure of APGA, a true regional party that he could have built and turned through the right alignment to a formidable national party but what did he do, he abandoned ApGa for a hot meal Jonathan offered him.
This is the person you all fight tooth and nail for?
No wonder all political leaders in the SE dont take him serious. Since he decamped to Labour party I haven't heard that any political heavy weight shared his grievances and followed him, it's only online noise makers that followed him to Labour party.
My friend politics is local. Obi is on Twitter canvassing for votes, Atiku and Tinubu have there ground men going from village to village to sensitize people.

Emmyjah50:
If we can reduce this ethnic and religious politics that have subjected Nigeria in Poverty, life will be better. I have voted all the past president of Nigeria both PDP and APC without practising tribal politics, Peter Obi is a fresh air to every Nigeria with the right mindset.

No sir, the answer to Nigeria's problem is not an individual, this has been proven over and over again.
This peter obi that u all pushing forward wasn't he governor for 8yrs, was Anambra any better under him, how much infrastructure did he build, what welfare package did he offer?? Did the level of redundancy in Anambra civil service reduce Ohh and I remember anmbrains complaining he abandoned the state to become Jonathan's PA in Abuja. if he becomes president wont he work with this same civil service?
It will interest you to know that politicians are not the major problem, bulk of nigerians are the problem.

That aside until we start practicing true federalism,I.e regional government with resource control Nigeria will forever remain stagnant.

perez100:
The Igbos are more united than all the tribes in Nigeria. We may not be united 100% and no tribes can get 100% unity.

If you are wise, you should know that the only thing stopping Igbos from becoming President of Nigeria is the gang up against Igbo but they want you to believe that we are not united and that is why we cannot be President . Sadly, some Igbos are buying that idea.

Obasanjo, Yaradua and Jonathan were picked by the parties and other tribes supported them. Yaradua contested with other Fulanis but the PDP said it must be him. Buhari contested with other Fulanis but APC said it must be him. Even Tinubu contested with other Yorubas but many APC Governors from the North supported him to get the ticket - Osibanjo and Bakare contested with him.

But when it comes to Igbo, they will not pick one person and support, instead they will say Igbos are not united and nobody wants to step down for each other. Can't you see the gang up?

Ogbonaya Onu in a national party stepped down for Olu Falae who was in a regional party. Can a Yoruba man do that for any Igbo man?

Alex Ekwueme was the brain behind the formation of PDP but Obasanjo was released from prison and made PDP candidate. But today, they are saying Igbos want to reap from (APC ) they did not sow.

If igbos were united as you claim Peter obi would still be a member of pdp. If south east pdp governors had a united front there is no way he would have decamped. But no they were busy promising atiku and wike votes
Just so you know, Obi left pdp when he found out that even the southeast delegates were set to work against him, if only he stayed iy would have been glaring for all to see.
Southwest governors are the reason tinubu clinched the ticket. They had a United front and spoke with one voice.
If they had a crack and worked against each other tinubu might have been in for a shocker.
Another mistake you lot make is that Apc is different from pdp. Yes the pdp owe the igbos a presidential ticket based on support since 1999.
Apc is 7yrs in administration and the key players ought to be rewarded, what is southeast contribution towards Apc that makes you think they deserve to be president on the party's platform You can reject someone overwhelming twice and then expect to be favored by same person.

Again the southeast only hope to producing a presidential candidate under apc was shut off by playing politics of hate, in 2015 all southeast needed do was produce a ranking senator under Apc, like magic he would have been senate president. Giving the kind of lackluster politics Buhari plays he would have still been Senate president and guess who would have been on the front burner for a south east presidency campaign

MrHighSea:
Are you a Lecturer?
Hope you're straight

Nope not a lecturer but my broda, lecturer job hard, your level of discipline must be top notch

Nice one, I dont know what exactly attracts some people to minors.
This is a girl that doesnt enhance her look in anyway, no beauty products, no over kill dressing and probably low cut hairstyle making her look like a boy.
What if the randy teacher was a lecturer in the uni, girls for no dey hear word again.
TBT lecturer job hard

Ok

BeeBeeOoh:


Pictures please



Nigeria gone since may 29th 2015, the very day Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as the president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

You are a buffoon, where in this world can u get that much tomato and pepper for less than 1cent.
You will sit in your hse and be typing nonsense

Ok ooo

TheExclusive:
Yes, i agree with you that they are not founding members. But, Your argument that SE held strongly on pdp is faulty becuse there are SE politicians in APC, whether big wig or not. Is rochas and OUK not eligible to be made senate president? Why didn't APC choose from them? SE has not gotten it right, probably because of their population and voting strength and not these your reasons of bad politicking.

Bro,Okorocha just became a senator in 2019, ouk I guess same year, tell me 1 igbo man that contested and elected a ranking member of the Senate under apc in 2015, I am waiting, yes they contested but all lost. I dont believe the voting strength is the problem but the kind of politics they play.
