Where is your warehouse in china?
How much is the air shipping per kg and sea shipping per cbm?

Cost of air shipping for me is $8.50/kg

Styluss:
Alright thank you, already answered my questions. Please share the brand name and product name

I buy direct from factory - OEM. So they are brandless. They are dead cheap that way.

johnson4nosa:
My guy how did you do that for a very long time now I can't order from AliExpress, it's like CBN place a ban on it

I use chipper cash.

Bakrabas:
Easy bro...did you Just say shipping is 3wks from China?

Wow not even 3 months

Or you meant to say by Air which is approximately 2wks?

In e-commerce parlance shipping can mean air, sea or road. Shipping by air for me usually takes 3 weeks - from supplier to the office of my shipping agent.

What happens when gas rises as usntge norm in Nigeria

Then we switch to the next cheaper fuel, many CNG. Right now CNG is around N120 per kg or is it cubic meters. I went to the major distributor of CNG here in Ikorodu last week to make enquiries. They informed me need to come for trainings before I can be allowed to deal in CNG. They showed me some cars running on CNG.
Many Vehicle owners are converting to CNG right know to save cost on fueling.

The Dual Petrol/Gas carburetor also runs on CNG.

shedy03:
How about custom duty when you order from AliExpress? Zero, small or plenty?

The shipping company takes care of custom and all.

Ezeama400:
So Igbo person came to your region and conquered you academically despite all your "Ronu" ?

You should be more ashamed of yourself

You guys have serious psychological issues. Deliverance cannot free you guys, you require exorcism to remove the demons in your pschche.
You made a claim that Anambra state with a self imposed Monday free working and schooling day still managed to produce the best student in Jamb. Someone bursted your fallacy by pointing out that the student schooled in the South West with complete 5 days schooling days per week. You now switched to "Igbo person came to your region and conquered you academically despite all your Ronu". So in your mind igbos has conquered the South west academically and probably economically, socially and physically. Igbos have become Conquerors , abi.
E no go better for the person wey do you guys.

Sommyroy10:
Please where did you order yours (link, if any)? And how long have you waited for your package?

I ordered from Alibaba.com, you can also order from aliexpress.com. I have my own special arrangement for shipping goods from China. It normally takes three weeks.

Like my tired is really tired o.

I'm a spray painter and we need petrol to execute tasks; ( mixing gloss paint, running the spray engine and what not).

This sudden petrol price hike had taken a huge toll on me personally. Welders are on the bright side cos diesel price keeps crashing for a while now and most of them use diesel engines.

Before now, N2,000 petrol will handle the painting of 15-20 doors. But now my brothers ,N5,000 worth of fuel can't deliver 20 of the same doors.

If not for the odd jobs and some improvisation, I wonder what would have become of me lately.

Like we're just programmed to suffer in this country.

Borrow sense and switch to cooking gas. Dual petrol/gas carburetor are a fad right now. 1kg of cooking gas at N600 is equivalent of 4 litres of petrol at N2000. The problem now is that the Carburetor has mooned, something that cost N12,000 before the petrol increase is now selling at N30,000. Me I have ordered mine direct from China, I expecting it next weekend.

THE DELIMMA OF BEING A MEMBER OF AMORC


According to the Rosicrucian Order AMORC, there are certain rules members have to follow absolutely in order to continue to receive protection of the Egregore of AMORC. These rules are clearly spelled out in the monographs of AMORC and the Rosicrucian tradition.
Besides paying your membership fee to AMORC and other important points I have mentioned in previous post, members must (or must not):
1 Cannot criticize the Rosicrucian Order AMORC and the teaching of AMORC and its spiritual leaders (terms use for the officer of AMORC visible and invisible)
2 Members must not read writing that is critical of AMORC.
3 Members must voice their opinion against writing that are critical of AMORC (the reason given for this last one is that if a member is not willing to voice opinion against writing that are critical of AMORC, it means that they do not believe deep inside in the teaching of AMORC and is therefore not worthy of the protection of the egregore of AMORC.)
And this is the dilemma. You cannot read a book that is critical of AMORC and you must take position for AMORC against such book. This smells fishy to me.
So fear is the force that push members of AMORC into criticizing so harshly Pierre Freeman for his book “The Prisoner of San Jose”.
I welcome any feed back about this dilemma.

If this is true, then they are identical to Islam and Christianity. To them anyone that is critical of their doctrine is of the devil and will be ostracised or even killed.

The mission is to get new members for your dangerous cult where pesudoscience is practiced


https://www.traditioninaction.org/Questions/B932_Crucian.html



Don't be a victim of a dangerous cult .Be wary as you follow this thread . . You will struggle with your all life to get out of it.

The most dangerous cult ever created was Christianity and its alter ego Islam. They are a cult of personality rather than spiritual enlightenment and advancement. It all about worship of its dead cult leader and its so called priests. They are the only modern religion that elevates their leader to the status of a god. And in the name of that God all sorts of attrocities against humanity had been carried out and is still being carried out.

budaatum:
This is what Newsmaxx and Fox and Oan are feeding 24-7 so I am not surprised.

That's their campaign strategy. Remember 33,000 emails, that's the strategy that won trump the election in 2015. In 2019 Trump tried to blackmail Zelensky into announcing investigations Biden's via Hunter Biden, which would been his campaign strategy. For 2025, they are have resurrected Burisma and added China and Romania bribes, along with Hunters laptop.
Everything they are accusing the Bidens of the Trump's have done 10 times worse, the only problem is crimes are a badge of honour among republicans while they form outrage at every little thing done by Democrats. They are not ashamed that after 4 years, Durham could only charge Hunter Biden for tax evasion and obtaining a gun with false information.

Democrats will not fall for the same trick used during hillary Clinton's time where Trump won because Democrats did not turn up. This time their fake outrage will not work, Democrats will come out enmass to vote Joe Biden.

Raheeqilmaktoom:
Not when your definition of egalitarian society is women treated as objects or properties and equality, women walking topless because a man can walk in his singlets.

Egalitarianism means women given the same rights as men, women being free to choose their destiny and chose to be treated as properties or not.
Islam is too obsessed with sex, they are obsessed with underage and young girls particularly virgins. No wonder their heaven consists of virgins. Islam is also highly intolerant of other peoples religions, cultures and view points. That's why they are always at war not only with others but also with each other.

Raheeqilmaktoom:
Like the guy who was rebuked by Seun said, this is about power and the other talk is about religion, it will be highly hypocritical to try and equate the 2.

Gender has its place in religion and society and so does authority, putting them on the same pedestal is comparing apples and guavas.

Given your explanation how can Arrewa claim Islam is an egalitarian religion? If you cannot put gender and authority on the same pedestal, what then is your definition of egalitarianism?

Which Islamic society or country is egalitarian? Is it northern Nigeria, Iran or Saudi Arabia?

Why is it only in terms of basic domestic tools and cutlery that she prefers African ways, what about religion, does she prefer amadioha or Ifa to Christianity and Islam?

TemplarLandry:
Last time I checked, Nigeria was still a sovereign state. Someone should tell this European bloc to stop pokenosing into our internal affairs. You want to criticize us, do it constructively. Anything African is never good enough in their eyes.

If you don't want anyone pokenosing in your affairs, then don't invite them to pokenose (monitor) your affairs. It is senseless to invite international bodies to monitor your elections, then ask them not to report their observations.
Since Nigeria is a sovereign country, extend the sovereignty to your economy, health services and education. Stop asking for loans and grants from foreign countries, stop your president and governing elites from jumping to their hospitals every month or week, stop sending your children to their schools from secondary school to university while abandoning the schools here and government officials should stop constituting nuisance in other countries thereby embarrassing us all.

Osilama1:
the only education govt should subsidize is public primary secondary education... Govt spend huge to sponsor pple abroad for masters PhD yet many don't return... To me that's not good... Besides how many tax can u pay to ensure education is free for everyone... At all levels...

I believe government(s), by governments I mean state and federal governments, should provide free primary and secondary education in its schools. That won't affect private education for the rich. Then it's should offer university scholarships to the best graduating students from its schools who are obviously from poor backgrounds. Theis way brillliant or gifted children from poor backgrounds would have the opportunity to succeed.

nairalanda1:
Oga, I am not excusing corruption.

Again...I AM NOT EXCUSING CORRUPTION.

Understand!


I am just pointing out that we are not earning enough cash, and the corruption makes it worse


Don't you ever ever accuse me of supporting corruption or corrupt officals again.

Thank you.

Sorry if you are offended. I am just not happy you are not seeing the behemoth in the room which is CORRUPTION. You and I are just passionate at seeing Nigeria assume its rightful place in the committee of nation and we are just expressing our opinions passionately.

I wish we treat corruption the way its done in China or Japan. In Japan you are forced to commit suicide if you bring disgrace to your family. Here we celebrate those that bring disgrace to the whole nation.

Buddha3:
My brother, the issues bedeviling Nigeria are complex and intertwined, but have very practical and simple solutions.

We have to deviate from total dependence on oil revenue.
We have to explore other means of revenue generation. And for a country that is abundantly blessed with natural and agricultural resources, that shouldn't be a problem, if we had the honest, committed and willing leadership.
Once Nigeria generates revenue from other sources plus what's gotten from oil, and our politicians are blocked from stealing, there's going to be enough to pay off debts, raise income of the working class citizens and only then should anybody consider options of raising things like tertiary education tuition.

But as a people, we are not yet ready to even have the conversations that will set the tone for these reforms, so every election circle, we'll keep electing leaders who'll take two steps forward and five steps backward, while enriching themselves with reckless abandon. This country is a system that has been designed to fail, even in the hands of the best technocrats, except there is the will to completely disintegrate the existing structure and rebuild from the start.

I dont believe we should or can deviate from oil revenue for now. Why? Because we have not yet exploited the crude oil and gas resources to its fullest yet. We are not even meeting our OPEC quota of about 2 millionBPD. Then there is the issue of our huge untapped gas reserves. Nigeria has more gas than crude, and the world is energy hungry right now. There is on OPEC quota for gas. We can make 10 times what we make from crude in gas. OBJ did some investments in gas but subsequent governments did not follow up. We don't even know what happens to the revenues accrued from gas in the last 8 years.

We need to invest in oil and gas to accumulate capital and then invest in other sectors like UAE did.

nairalanda1:
Poor funding makes the corruption worse.

As harsh as it sounds, modern equipment and so forth do not pay for themselves.

Either we start paying in more to our universities, or we just accept that we have bad universities.

We cannot be blaming everything on 'corruption'...corruption isn't why some universities cannot afford to upgrade for better services and why our hostels are a mess.

I honestly don't understand these ultra Conservative views being sprouted by you guys. You guys are elevating capitalism to a religion. Even the US which you guys purport to be mimicking provides lots of free or subsidised social services to the extremely poor, marginalised or vulnerable. The Chicago State University that Tinubu attended is a publicly funded university, the fees are either free or substantially subsidised.
In the US the poor and aged gets food stamps. Even health insurance is highly subsidised under Obama Care. And this is the most capitalist country in the world. Meanwhile you guys are behaving that any type of subsidy to the poor in Nigeria is an abomination. Nigeria that has the highest number of poor people in the world.

Everything and I repeat everything is blamed on corruption. Its corruption that robs Nigeria of adequate revenue and income. Nigeria has some of the highest deposits of Crude oil and gas in the world, but most of it is stolen and only a fraction enters government coffers.

Corruption is responsible for the sorry state of the public universities as no matter the money released to the universities for infrastructures, most is stolen by V.Cs and the registrars.

Our problems is not necessarily lack of funds but corruption. With the amount of mineral resources present under our soils and the population of over 200 million (if given adequate education and skills) and capital (either borrowed from foreign financial institutions, raised from bonds or simply borrowed from china), we would be a financial and industrial giant under 10 years. How long did it take UAE to transform from a poverty strike country to an economic giant? How lond did it take China that was poorer than nigeria in the 70s to be the second richest country in the world?

Watch the video below on how Saudi Arabia monitors and manage its oil resources and you will cry for Nigeria. The are able to monitor each drop of oil that leaves the ground until it is delivered to its final destination.

Please stop making excuses for corrupt Nigerian political elites.

nairalanda1:
So, she expects the university to survive on cheap fees?

Nigerians would complain all day long about half baked degrees...yet when efforts are made to improve things, they would complain poverty.

200000 naira is 270 dollars at most. And it is from that money that you expect degrees that can compete with unviersites that charge higher.?

Okay o. I don talk.

You expects non corrupt Nigerians to survive on expensive education?

Nigerians have half baked degrees not because of cheapness but because of corruption - corruption from secondary school by cheating and special centres, corruption in universities by grades for sex and grades for sale. Nigeria Educational standard was highest when education was free and corruption was at the barest minimum.

N30000 minimum wage is less than $40. How many Nigerians earn N200,000 per month? Even at N500,0000 per month, how much disposable income will be left after transportation at N500 per litre, electricity at N100 per Kwh and inflation at 18 - 20% per annum?

Nigerian elites don't even think or care about the poor or less privileged, they act as if they should all be eliminated from the country.

Lifestone:
Thanks for extending my point. BAT was not born in Guinea, neither is either of his parents. Passport diplomatic passport does not confer citizenship. Aside, the passport is expired.

You guys are only obsessed with defending Tinubu at all cost. Look at the heading of this thread, it's not specifically about Tinubu, it's about Wole Olanipekun (SAN) making a patently false statement that Once Your Passport Expire, Your Citizenship Has Expired. I along with lots of people here are simply pointing out the false assertion. Now the discussion about whether Tinubu's acquisition of Guinean passport makes him a Guinean citizen is another topic which is before the courts. I don't know what Guinean law is, I only know that of Nigeria.

Lifestone:
You are a Nigerian by birth. LP claimed BAT is. Guinean by the sole reason that he's holding Guinea passport. Now its found out that the passport has expired. Can he still travel today as a Guinean, the answer is No.
Like most of PO witnesses, they were all acting for the press and social media, not fact of Law.
I haven't seen any witness that had shaken BAT with all the noise from PO camp

Being born in Nigeria does not confer you citizenship, at least one of your parents have be a Nigerian before you can be a Nigerian citizen. If your 2 parents are Ghanian or British, you can be born and live in Nigeria all your life, you are not a Nigerian citizen.
Nigeria does not even confer citizenship by marriage, that's why there are lots of families where the children are automatic citizens but one of the parents is not.

pquaver:
So let do a little practicality.. We know bola was not born in Guinea normal sense na birth certificate is ruled out, a court Affidavit (u also need birth certificate, passport etc attached to the affidavit as proof) here doesn' tapply as he was conferred citizenship by the president and also he didnt present any. So as we know what was in circulation as proof of his citizenship by opposition is an expired passport.. Again an expired passport is an invalid documents hence cannot stand as proof in an court of law. Dont forget the burden of proof lies on the accuser not bola Tinubu . Shalom

My post was not specifically directed at tinubus case. I am not arguing whether an expired Guinean passports makes Tinubu a Guinean citizen or not, that's left for the courts to decide. I am only correcting the wrong impression you have that it's a passport that confers citizenship on your. You don't need a Nigerian passport to be Nigerian citizen. You can vie for any Nigerian elective position without having a passport. A passport is only required for travelling out of the country.

pquaver:
.. Good without renewing it, you are not Nigerians.. Proof is what makes u Nigerian.. Dont you know that?

Flase! A birth certificate, a court affidavit or other documents proving at least one of your parents is a Nigerian is what makes you a Nigerian citizen and not necessarily a passport. Besides before you are eligible for a Nigerian passport you have to provide evidence you are Nigerian citizen first.

Cromagnon:

Really
What keeps you breathing?
Competence?

I hate to dissent into irrationality of religious logic of "God of the Gaps" The most annoying thing that the Gaps represents personal ignorance and not scientific knowledge. For your enlightenment every living creature on earth breaths, from the lowly bacteria to the fishes in the seas to the mighty blue whale. It is one of the main characteristics of life as learnt in JSS1 biology.

Where did I mention religion?
I just said grace of God is only free lunch

What is religion without God? You are talking about grace of God but you are not talking about religion, is that not an oxymoron?

Where do we use religion as an excuse for failure?
Be spe ific

We blacks particularly Nigerians use religion as an excuse for not only failure but for all the evils that's destroys a society - Greed, selfishness, vanity, egocentricism, Laziness, etc.
We use religion as an excuse for failure when you are made to believe that grace is the only free launch when in reality there is no free launch. I am writing this from my office this Sunday morning because I know if I don't work, my children and wife will get no free launch, and grace will not pay their school fees.

And you think that is why they are as productive as they are?
You funny

If you cannot correlate education with productivity and thus with economic prosperity of a country, then I am sorry for you. You had better stop going to school and start praying for grace.

Zupay:
So Nigerians whose Nigerian passports have expired, are no longer Nigeria citizens?😆😆😆

What of tens of millions of Nigerians without a passport, are they not Nigerians citizens?
The Constitution clearly defines who a Nigerian citizen is, and I am surprised a whole SAN is not aware.

Cromagnon:

Cos China has an incentive to be successful(competition with USA)
America has incentive to not (racism, idealism)



nothing is free but the grace of the almighty

Bone that "grace of the almighty" nonsense. Nigerians use religion to excuse incompetence and failure. You first nailed it when you opined that China(which is an official atheist state) is successful because it has an incentive to be successful. Meanwhile Nigeria is a failure (despite our over religiousity) because we lack the will, discipline and incentive to be successful. We use religion as an excuse for failure.

For your information primary education in South Korea is free and compulsory. They have almost 100% enrolment rate, compare to Nigeria with more than 20 million kids out of school.

imbless:
Agbadorism and stupidity won't let those shouting "other countries pay taxes" to know that almost all products in the Nigerian market are taxed via VAT, what have the government used the money for, secondly can you ever compare the minimum wage of those countries to Nigeria own? What about social amenities?

What has the people benefitted from this heartless APC government?

Nigerian businesses already pay one of the highest taxes in the world, the problem is that the taxes enter individual pockets and not government pockets. Even the one that enters government coffers is substantial. We pay all kinds of taxes - local government, TV licence, tenement rate, stamp duty, import duties, VAT, and so many others too numerous to mention.

This is why Nigerian produced goods can never compete in the international marker, even against our African neighbours.

ChybuzzDD:
Buhari created 133 million poor people in 8yrs.

This clueless idiot will create 199 million extremely poor Nigerians in less than 8weeks!

They don't care about the poor
Nigeria runs a system called elitocrasy. Government by the elites for the elites. The elites take good care of themselves, they have perks of office like all kinds of allowances and facilities. The poor on the other hand are seen as nuisance, that does not deserve to live and survive in the same country. Imagine Buhari government that has already pauperised Nigerians, by policies that made a bag of rice N35k, bag of flour N32k, inflation rate at 16%, unemployment hitting the roof, while all through the tenure minimum wage remained at N30,000. Now president tinubu has finally come to wipe out the poor and the middle class. He is is not even thinking of increasing wages or offering any social security safety net to help help poor Nigerians. Tinubu thinks Nigeria is like Lagos where you can bill people indiscriminately in the name of increasing IGR, forgetting that Lagos is the 4th biggest economy in Africa crammed into a very little space.

Most businesses will fail as the cost of energy alone will snuff out any profit small businesses are making. Then inflation will finally bury them.
