I OWN a container and its full of personal effects and a vehicle. It will arrive Lagos, but not sure how to take it off the truck at my house. Anyone have any idea and cost? I dont want to remove every item in the container just yet. Please I need suggestions.

Thank you nairaland community for all your help. It has been quite helpful with the response i've been getting.
Another question i have is: Is there a place in Lagos i can buy very nice appliances? I cant decide if i should ship new appliances from the States to Nigeria in my container or buy them in nigeria? There are some i like here, that i'm not sure if i'll find the same in Nigeria. And how is the cost of the appliances such as flat top stove, large capacity washer/dryer, and large fridge.

Thank you again

if i get a toyota sequoia, would i be able to find parts for it in nigeria?

To ship my car i just bought to lagos, i thought i had to pay a hefty price to put the vehicle in my name (800.00) and then have it shipped under my name. The title currently is in seller's name. But i bought it and i hold the title.
But i was just told it's not true. Just as long as there is no lein on it, and it's not stolen. Doesn't matter whose name is on it, i can ship it. When it gets to lagos, i can then put it in my name.
Customs is only concerned if the car is stolen or has a lein on it. If this is true, i can save 800.00.
Please let me know if it's true.

I bought a new carpet in America and i'm shipping it to Nigeria. Does anyone know anyone that lays carpet well in Nigeria? I am told in order to have a floor carpeted without eventually the carpet buckling and folding up due to the humidity, the carpet must be "pulled" with some instrument as it's being layed on the floor. Do you know anyone that can lay carpet in 4 rooms? I want to use foam under the carpet. If i cant find someone that can lay the carpet well, i'll be forced to lay the carpet without foam to insure the carpet not buckling, folding up, or moving from place.

Thanks

If i could find it in Nigeria, i'll buy it. When i was in Nigeria last (Jan 07), never saw it, no one even knew what it was. Please let me know where i can buy it. It will save me alot of money. And also have you seen it in Nigeria and have you personally bought it in nigeria for your vehicles?

can synthetic auto oil be shipped in a container to nigeria from america?

You are misunderstanding me. An American friend is wanting to visit Ilorin and wants to rent an apartment or house. I personally dont have a rental property in Ilorin. So again I ask, do you know of a nice and safe area in Ilorin that an American can rent?

Thanks

Is there a very safe and exceptionally clean area for an American to rent in ilorin? If so please let me know.

Everyone please praise the Lord with me, cement price is going to drop like a rock!!!
News has come out that the president has approved the re-opening of the Ibeto cement factory. And within 40 days, prices will be dropping. I can now plan to continue our building,

Do you know of a company that will ship bags of cement to nigeria that cheap?

so, in a nutshell, you all are saying that if i have an account in the States and want to transfer funds to an account in nigeria, i can do it via swift transfer?
And when i'm ready to withdraw some funds while visiting in Nigeria, i can do so with no hassle except for a minimal fee of withdrawal? That easy and simple?, have you heard of skye bank? How good are they?

I heard that Toyota landcruiser is the best for Nigeria roads!!
Any Toyota product will work well in Nigeria.

I'm guessing 300 bags including all the floors, walls, and fence. More or less not sure to be honest with you.

I hear that bag of cement was 700 naira few years ago. But now it's about 1700 naira. Does anyone know when or if the price will come back down soon? Now that we have a new administration.
