Poch:
Nairaland and her funny ‘car gurus and pricing analysts’.

Buying this car is not a do or die affair guys.
Serious minded people have been calling... probably without getting things complicated on NL comment section.

You can schedule inspection with your mechanic - buying is optional - ‘NL car professionals’ can continue ranting all they want.
Person wey wan buy motor know wetin to do.

I care less.

Digital advertising cuts the distance needed to be travelled in negotiating and purchasing an item by as much as fifty per cent! If I can eyeball the quality of an item sought to be sold and receive proactive response from the advertiser merely by assessing the digital presentation of the item it should obviate the need for a physical examination until the point of exchange. Years back a fellow Nairalandder put up a Mitsubishi Gallant for sale here and the digital presentation warranted a few posers but I was African in my appraisal and said nothing only to arrive Lagos from the State I live in to have my worst fears about the car confirmed! I have, over the years, bought units of Powerbank from Just2endowed who in the course of negotiations and purchase answered my posers without being abusive - just bought another unit from him last month. Business is not about sentiments but objective appraisal.
And just two more from him days ago. I poked him in making enquiries and he was not offended.

I hope you know I'm not in any way related to the moniker advertising .....but you don't just come and degrade a pdt because of pictures online with out seeing it first hand ..you won't want same done to you ....it's very negative bro

Friend, I merely raised a poser about the exhaust of the advertised car whereupon the op and his storm trooper launched a blitzkrieg at me! They abused me to no end!! If an advertiser does not want posers raised about the advertised item that falls far short of advertising best practices and itself raises a red flag! Africans have not come far enough largely because we are unduly sentimental about things. I wonder how raising an objective poser about an advertised item amounts to demarketing.

ct2:
Atiku will be defeated badly in kaduna in tomorrow's election,

The Northerners believes that the  igbos killed their leaders,

so they believe peter obi will kill atiku to become president, because of the Igbos despiration  for power.

  so they have decided to vote Buhari .


Tomorrow results will prove me

We are not in the ‘60’s!

A - Atiku

Identity theft just worsted Atiku’s bid for the Presidency!

Deception mars Atiku bid for the President- even Tinubu will be pleasantly surprised!

*THE ECONOMIC DANGERS OF SELLING THE NNPC AS PROPOSED BY ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR*

Nigerians in November of 2018 were greeted with an economic proposal perceived to be innocuous by most quarters of the country, by the former Vice president Atiku Abubakar aka Waziri of Privatization scams.

I did a research on the direction of that economic policy what turned out was a disaster, recall this publication

I’ll sell 90% of NNPC if elected, Atiku vows, https://punchng.com/ill-sell-90-of-nnpc-if-elected-atiku-vows/

In the publication above, Atiku proposed to sell 90% of all the NNPC holdings in his future privatization moves, never mind that 56 government establishments collapsed under his privatization scams of the past. Buhari in his mercy has taken up the responsibility of paying the pensions of Atiku's privatization victims read here;

https://www.proshareng.com/news/Pensions/Pension:-FG-begins-payment-of-N17bn-to-NITEL-workers/6735

Can Nigeria survive under a sold NNPC regimen? tough question!!

why does other oil dependent economies maintain a national oil company? in Africa; Nigeria has NNPC, Angola has Sanagol, Algeria has Sonatrach, Egypt has EGPC, Libya has NOC etc.

In the Middle east; Saudi Arabia owns Saudi Aramco, Qatar owns QP, Bahrain owns BAPCO, iraq owns INOC, Syria owns the Al furat, Iran owns NIOC and so on.

In Europe: Russia has Rosneft, Norway has Satoil etc, you can see clearly that every oil dependent economy in Africa, Asia, Europe, middle east maintain an oil company.
Why is it so? A national oil company is the country's stake in its oil riches which translates to the oil wealth of the people.

What does the NNPC do for the Nigerian economy?
In a layman's term, NNPC pays for anything you use that is not produced in Nigeria, in other words, NNPC is your window to the global market.

Let us use your American imported car for example.
You wish to buy a car from the United States, the Japanese manufacturer in the US insisted you must pay in usd for the transaction, unfortunately your local bank account holds the Naira so how did you get the car eventually?
Your bank debits your naira, then pays the dollar equivalent to the US company. smart huh!!

Have you wondered where your bank or your Aboki got the USD to facilitate that transaction? my research took me to a CBN activity called Retail Dutch Auction System (RDAS) and Wholesale Dutch Auction System (WDAS), these are avenues your bank, BDC (Aboki) and every other licensed forex trader gets his supply from.

Out of curiosity, I decided to dig further where the CBN gets her forex from, the answer wasn't surprising, the NNPC!! through the following common sense processes.
Direct oil Sales (NNPC) (70%)
Petroleum Profit Tax (Oil Companies) (20%)
Royalties (5%)
Penalty for Gas Flaring (5%)
could this be the reason why every oil dependent economy has a national oil company? Is Atiku planning to steal 70% of Nigeria's oil wealth like he stole all the Niger delta sea ports for 25yrs?

We most times follow these politicians around without paying attention to the underlying message of doom they are coming with, Atiku and OBJ orchestrated the most fraudulent privatization heist in the history of this country, read here

https://www.nairaland.com/4839445/atikus-source-wealth-revealed-mohammed/1

Unfortunately, most young people that form today's voting block do not know what OBJ & Atiku represent in Nigeria's politics.
some people ignorantly argue that since NNPC is a cesspit of corruption therefore it has to be sold, my only response is, even as the cesspit of corruption, it still provides 70% of CBN's forex, if sold, where do we get those forex from? What Business is Nigeria doing today that will provide that insane amount of forex for the utilization of over 180m Nigerians? Am i supposed to borrow cars and shoes from Atiku and his friends?

In case you have forgotten so soon how Nigerians landed in poverty due to forex shortages, high cost of living, that was just a tip of what could happen when NNPC sold oil at a lower price, imagine what will happen when NNPC seize to exist.

Like everything Atiku privatized, either ended up in his pocket (Niger delta oil and gas free zones) or died out rightly (Nitel, Alscon, Delta steel, News week etc).

For Nigerians in the mid stream sector of the oil and gas industry (oil servicing companies) warming up to vote Atiku, your case is worse, 60% of your contracts are paid for by the NNPC through a process called cash calls, if NNPC is sold, has Atiku told you who will pay the cash calls? this segment of Nigerians will be the first victim of that demonic proposal, we will be watching their protest at the NNPC headquarters like we watched ex Nitel staffs in protest back in the days.

sound familiar right? https://www.uniglobalunion.org/news/nigeria-nitel-dismissed-78-workers-unions-protest-sack-order

what about the ALSCON workers huh!! sounds familiar? https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/128089-alscon-workers-host-communities-protest-rusals-sack-of-475-nigerians.html

God will be fair to Atiku because this time he sounded the doom Trumpet of his dejavu if Nigerians ignorantly gives him the mandate to forge ahead.

With this plan, the next round of hunger will not be friendly, after voting Atiku, do not complain he promised change but brought chains, already, I can see your chain under an Atiku leadership, good luck as you do your future proud by resisting this scam in the waiting!!

We need a reformed NNPC as proposed by Ibe Kachikwu already endorsed by the US
http://nnpcgroup.com/PublicRelations/NNPCinthenews/tabid/92/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/576/US-Endorses-Ongoing-NNPC-Reforms.aspx

We need to sustain this NNPC reform that ended the perennial yuletide petrol scarcity in Nigeria, we need to sustain the policy that ended hoarding of petroleum products in Nigeria, we need to sustain this reform that ended the theft of over 400,000bbls of crude oil daily, that's what we need, selling NNPC is evil to say the least.

The only beneficiaries of this proposal are Atiku and his friends like peter obi that has the financial war-chest to buy NNPC's assets in bits and pieces, strip the assets, sell them off, become billionaire & walk away.

The big question every Nigerian going to the polls on Saturday must ask himself is; Can you live without the NNPC? by extension, can you live without your cars, smart phones, computers, foreign clothes, deodorant, building materials, books, drugs, cosmetics anything in this country that is not made in Nigeria? if your answer is NO , vote any other candidate that is not Atiku.

The SouthEast is not North Korea!

You bought a naija used car 700k in 2016 and 3 years down the line after rough usage u wish to sell for 800k?
Oga oo!
Plz dnt come and attack me.
No pun intended.

Abi o! Digicar!!

onegig:
Nothing wrong in him attacking you. You didn't even give a constructive criticism on what you think is wrong. You can't come online and mouth things without giving facts to back it up.

An exhaust can be black or whatever and have sendiments. And that can mean a million things not related to engine malfunction or breakdown.

... that can mean a lot of things.... I thought you badmouthed me for being incomprehensible! So you understood what I was getting at all the while but pretended not to! Will advise you let me be and not complicate things further! Discerning folks know that car!

Do you want to buy yes or no...if yes call the seller set up an inspection then do the necessary ....if no...Oga keep quiet n move to another topic..all this chu chu chu monitoring spirits sef.

What a way to market a product for sale! I have an advise for you. When responding to or making posts on the internet always bear in mind that the internet NEVER forgets and your posts will someday be used to profile your personality. Better to make responsible posts.

You can tell that to the Marines! Let’s see you send your thugs after the ballot box this Saturday and make them objects of target practice by 4 police commissioners and a military commander!

The place of standing to sue is clearly not available! Meddlesome interloper!! The Supreme Court should have no difficulty in peremptorily dismissing the Suit of the Cross Rivers State Government as the instances where the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court can be invoked are clear and unambiguously stated in the Constitution. Some lawyers ought to be sanctioned for instituting grossly spurious and baseless lawsuits in court!

Poch:
The exhaust is apparently one of the least conspicuous objects in all of the images posted. I just wonder why that formed the core basis of this poorly constructed and incomprehensible comment.

Your take that is! The discerning know what that sort of exhaust condition indicates about the car engine! Not strange for an individual to view a statement as poorly constructed and incomprehensible so long as he cannot appreciate same.

The Roman soldier and his daughter!

I hope folks sufficiently understand this!

Indeed true that the fool says in his heart that God does not exist! For we walk not by sight but by faith! Telescopes offer you a view by sight but what you deny cannot be appreciated by physical sight no matter how magnified!

panafrican:
Who would you do business with?

I. A Nigerian businessman
II. A Lebanese businessman
III. A Tanzanian businessman
IV. A South- African Businessman
V. A Senegalese businessman
VI. An American businessman
VII. A European businessman
VIII. An Indian ( from India) businessman
IX. None of all the above

Certainly an Am. businessman! Reason is, he can’t afford to be corrupt ANYWHERE ON EARTH as domestic Laws exists to fry him! Generally speaking.

Intels style? Isn’t it?

Atikugate this must be!

The exhaust speaks volumes to the discerning!

Your publication is D.O.A. without one. The dogs of war in the Academia will have you for dinner fast! Nothing takes down an Academic as fast!!

Soldiers, indeed, use vehicles neatly! Not much time to drive the car around as he is most times away at the battlefield!

Let’s see what’s under the hood.

A Sal

it looks more like the president is declaring a martial law or state of emergency for a civilian election, what a shame... the army is for National security both in offensive and defensive part against external enemies.
The police alone controls the security of any civil election in developed nations, i just wonder why civil defence, federal road safety and Nigeria police is not enough to secure our national election, it shows incompetence and uselessness of our law enforcers.

Not quite! Truth is, a careful and dispassionate study of Nigeria’s political history shows that brigandage cum ballot box snatching at a level the police are ill-equipped to handle is the bane of our election cycles. It is made possible by the use of police and military escorts to intimidate, maim and kill citizens so as to subvert the electoral process. Obasanjo et al are self professed apostles of do or die politics and are better reined in by withdrawing their military escorts who are bound to take orders from him while assigned to him! Now, he is cut to size!! A move by him to personally snatch the ballot box will see him shot at sight! Folks in critiquing Buhari for the order have failed to note that it cuts across board such that a member of his own party who attempts to snatch the ballot box also risks getting shot by the Military. Arguments to the effect that the Order will result in extra judicial killings will diminish in the face of the ineffectiveness overtime of the judicial process in punishing such acts post-elections! The Doctrine of necessity must be called into play here. Those who have said Buhari is lifeless will join him on Saturday where they insist on violence and ballot box snatching in their desperate bid to compromise the electoral process. We should let the loser lose fairly and the victor win acceptably.

Rb53:
A vote for Buhari is a vote for extreme poverty. FYI Nigeria now is the world headquarters of poverty. We have even overtook India whose population is about 5 times Nigeria. About 91 million Nigerians are extremely poor.
Please lets vote Buhari out please...

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/02/91-million-nigerians-now-live-in-extreme-poverty-world-poverty-clock/amp/

Have you considered why that is so? Atiku will worsen the situation when he sells NNPC to his friends! Tell me one sale of our national asset by Atiku as VP that has benefited the generality of Nigerians. The truth is Nigerians over time been used to crumbs from slush funds and proceeds of corruption by politicians. The Buhari government has not allowed much of that and is the reason many are crying poverty pervades the land. It is better to build wealth via the productive sectors of the economy which is what Buhari administration is about. Only the lazy will be poor under a Buhari government where you do not have to be his friend to contribute your quota and improve your lot financially - just be hardworking!

These politicians!

Sleep well.

Thanks to you!

See your mouth. Justify two wrongs. Na now you Wan speak english. You have been living in a bigot system all your life. The igbos are the 3rd largest enthic group that are yet to produce a president. At the time the north have held that position for periods stretching 46yr plus.

If you are honest igbos are not bigot. They have been miginalise and oppress in there own country.

Your response is not out of character! About time the Igbo consciously take steps to eyeball and deal with this from the basic unit- the families! Quite apparent that you lack proper upbringing! If you continue this way your lot in life is endangered!!
