CVM, you did not respond to the mails i have been sending to you. I won't like a situation where all my goods will not get to me at the same time or a delay in getting them or any other issue.

i want to bring to your notice that there are two sellers in the order i placed with you, on which you sent mail to me order no 434955891712

the one for the seller one has "Under processing" as remark product status. the goods from seller one has been sent to you and this was confirmed by Elena before i placed the order for both seller one and two. the tracking no is this 1900501172431

i will like to know if the two have been considered in the shipping fee you sent to me. My username is fisy

Young-Wise-Cash:
make sure you have agreed with all the suppliers so that when you place an order CVM will only charge you $10. But if you place an order for the particular one you are desperate to; you will be charge $10, and another $10 when placing another order for the suppliers you hav'nt pay yet. So the choice is yours

@Young-Wise-Cash, Thanks a lot for your help. got a reply to my mail to CVM too on the issue. you guys are superb.

I have not placed the order, I want to know if i have to get the tracking no and shipping company details from the supplier before filling the place order part ( i have not paid the supplier and not sure i will be given this details until after payment).

Thanks a million for your help.

neuronin: Chrisvicmall, this is my first time of transacting business with you. i have also sent a mail to you on this. please i will appreciate if they can be resolved quickly.

kindly attend to the two(2) issues i have about payment below.

1. I made a payment of N50,000 into your account at 8.43am today. I checked my account after 4.00pm and noticed it has not been credited. i followed the instruction on your platform to do self crediting but the message i got is "The Data You Enter Is Incorrect Or Has Not Been Included In Our Profile". Below is my data again:


AMOUNT N50k
USERNAME FISY

Kindly help do the needful to credit my account with you.

2. Also the money i paid is for one of my suppliers and i have others that i am still negotiating with to buy products from. But in the meantime, i want to pay the supplier i have concluded with and get the product to your end. i was told i should not place other until i have concluded all transactions with all the suppliers. please how does the supplier i want to pay now get her money? do i just send a mail to you of the amount to pay and the goods i am expecting or is there anything i need to do on your platform to notify you of the payment i want you do do on my behalf without attracting additional cost

Expecting your response

thanks CVM and all my account has been credited, now left with solution or how to handle issue nos 2.

Young-Wise-Cash:
I also experience it last week. It took dem 1 week to credit my account. Just place your order with the certain amount you agree with the supplier. Also email or call the supplier before making the payment. For fast order response, call elena around 2-3 am i tell her after you have place your order on CVM platform.

@Young-wise-cash thanks for helping out. i also need to know if placing an order on cvm platform when i have not finished purchasing from other suppliers will not cause me to pay more. i read their response once to pay all suppliers before placing order on their site to avoid paying more charges. Really i need to pay this supplier now i can wait till i conclude with the others. how do i go about this.

From personal experiences as a Mazda Tribute user, most likely your fans have been directed.
When you start your car, do the fans start simultaneously with the engine? If yes you need to correct that first.

I used 5 alternators, plus a new one, and 4 new batteries in 5 months trying to solve this problem. Then I went to automedics and I was told it was because my fans had been directed by Nigerian techs; i laughed them to scorn at such a simple explanation for such a nagging problem, but then I allowed them to return the fans to their original config and since then I've not had any issue with my charging system. That was like a year ago.

Okay, the car is Volvo V40, 2001. Tokunbo.
Just as part of preemptive maintenance, I had decided to change the timing belt, belt tensioner, fuel filter, air filter and oil filter.
I called a couple of sellers on Nairaland but I was concerned about the following:
1. High price
2. Long waiting time
3. Uncertainty of product delivery after payment especially because they wanted money upfront. Well, this is naija ooo!
4. Possible mismatch between what I want and what they supply.

Since I'm no novice to online transactions, I decided that if I had the right information I could do this on my own.
So I started about four days ago.

I had asked some auto parts sellers on Nairaland how I could import auto parts for personal use but I could afford neither the cost nor the terms so I decided to try on my own.

The purpose of this thread is to document my experience in the hope that it helps some people (this is my first time of importing auto spare parts).

In case I am just carrying coal to Newcastle, somebody should let me know but I did search through the site for info of this nature but got none.

Hopefully my (success) story would spur others to try; especially those who, like me, prefer OEM parts to the Ladipo used ones.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am not a dealer or auto parts seller, no! However after making my purchases the warehouse asked me to join a customer loyalty programme in which I get a discount on my subsequent purchases if any customer buys from them on the strength of my referral. But please YOU DO NOT HAVE TO buy from the same place I am buying from! The sole aim of this thread is to pass across helpful information.

drkay: E-fight I guess? Count me out!

no,it's not e-fight, you goofed on 2 counts and you should have apologized for your errors. 1, you did not understand or you misunderstood my simple, well-written English. 2, you offended many by your words which suggest some career arrogance.

By the way, which college of medicine in Nigeria (or abroad)produced you?

drkay: Doctors can be entrepreneur, in fact, final year community medicine posting is all abt enterpreneurship. I remember 1 of my end-of-posting questions, "Discuss Health as a Commodity". Doctors are nt restricted to the 4 corners of the hospital, most of my consultants make larger percentage of their income outside medical practice. MBBS is a first degree bt nt like any other course, putting it in d categories of Transport mgt or yoruba is an INSULT. If u have it, I blv u'll hold it jealously.

Please read lines 2,3 and 4 of my post AGAIN. If English is not as difficult as your Medicine, you should see that you've got a misread there.

There needs to be a balance to the predominant views on this issue.
Studying Physiology, Pharmacology, Anatomy or any other basic medical science course is not a certificate of penury or hopelessness. Many degrees in Nigeria fare no better. Think of graduates of Agric extension, Transport management, Sociology, Philosophy, Yoruba, Russian, etc. In fact, save management sciences like Accounting and Business admin, and Medicine, I am not sure there is any first degree that could 100% qualify as 'hot cake'.

When you know that, then a re-orientation is what you need. First degree is just that, a first degree! Get a second,a 3rd, a 4th etc if you wanat something else! You do not have to work with your 1st degree!

There are soft skills garnered in basic medical science training that you can put into good use.

My medical doctor friend is now a fish farmer, another is a computer programmer, many are lecturers, sos what's the big deal?

The point is free yourself from the tyranny and enslavement of your 1st degree! Define a life and pursue it!

Good luck

I drive a Mazda Tribute (good SUV) and I have had my own fair share of troubles though different from yours.
There is only one place I would recommend to you: The Automedics group. They have about 3 constituent garages around Lagos. I used Dr Ben's garage at Morrison Avenue, Ikeja.
I STRONGLY recommend you use this kind of upscale garage
Roadside,jack-rack-tom-straw mechanics almost destroyed my Tribute, DO NOT PATRONIZE THEM, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Hello, please I am in need of a high output alternator
Car is Mazda Tribute ES 2001, 3.0L. V6.
Amperage desired: at least 200amps
New or used one from a Ford car or truck or any other that is compatible.
New preferred though.
There are sites that sell high output alternators like this but buying online is difficult
So if you can help buy or you have a new or old one, or you know where to buy that in Lagos, please get across!
Thanks!

Arlington: Hello,
please i know this is not answering your own question, but i need some information about the italian visa process.i posted something about the italian embassy about 2 weeks ago but got no response so i am hoping someone here can help.
A family member applied for a visiting italian visa on the 29th of May still we have not heard anything and we check the site eveyday still no update . Do you know if they exceed there 40 days maximum time limit? becuase as at today it is about 31 days . I just want to know how long this might take and if there was anyway to check on the status of this visa.

It takes some time and you may not be able to determine or influence it. If the applicant is a 1st time traveller, it will take some time. If the applicant works for a company where people frequently go to Italy, they will classify the application as high priority. Many factors would influence the time really.Cheers.

1. To reduce living abroad to "washing plates and toilets" is grossly incorrect and mischievous
2. Many who bad-mouth living abroad are not doing so in good faith
3. Many Nigerians in the diaspora are too far removed from realities back home that their judgements are coloured, they can not see beyond the daily negative headlines. How do you expect such to think about relocating?
4. Yes, there are many who do menial jobs but many also do them in Nigeria. Many have good jobs abroad, and many do the same in Nigeria.
5. I have met hundreds of Nigerians abroad whom I honestly feel should return to Nigeria. And in the face of the present global socio-economic realities, I believe more Nigerians in diaspora should objectively consider relocating.
6. However, it would be difficult for people without competitive academic credentials and/experience,or a mountain of cash, to relocate. Many of the people you left at home have not been stagnant either!
7. I am relocating next month. I have been to the major countries of the world where Nigerians live but I am not staying.I even turned down a temporary job offer. With a PhD, I am convinced my future is in Nigeria.
8. But that is me!In the final analysis, it is a matter of choice.
Whatever works for you, do it!

Please post the link if you know any Nigerian television station that is broadcasting today's emergency sitting live.
I have tried Channels TV, I don't think their live stream is working

Mr what did you say it was?

2buff:

Now you blame God?
<sigh> I can see none of what has been said on this thread penetrates the heads of those who have apparently set themselves apart for failure.

A person who says God, genetics, and other things beyond their control is the reason for their failure is a person who has already decided that he will do all that is in his power to fail!

I made reference to what a person wrote and used simple logic to point out what her statement suggests. Except you believe all the contributors on this thread "have apparently set themselves apart for failure"

MsDarkSkin: @ neuronin

Generally speaking, Africans have always been well traveled. Keep in mind our ancestors for the most part were nomadic.
Africans were very much part of the Greek, Roman, Persian, Mesopotamian, Assyrian; etc empires despite that fact being voided out of textbooks (an effort to hide our contributions to western civilization and the world at large). Not to mention our ancestors built magnificent empires and kingdoms of their own. But the issue is black people are too trusting of others but hateful to one another!

While other people may have tribal or national conflicts, when it comes to outsiders they will form alliances within their race to aid each other in fending off foreign attack (although S. Korea is an exception to that rule!). This is notable when the Celtic and Gaul peoples (western European in origin) and Greeks, all former enemies BTW, banded together against the ancient tribes of the middle east (Phoenicians) who sought to invade and control many parts Europe. Yes many of these groups incorporated African and foreign men into their armies but those men had to abide by the laws of that society. There were boundaries when it came to foreigners.

Africans will invite foreigners to help annihilate other Africans just to be victorious. In the Congo for example, when the government hired white South African mercenaries to help fight Congolese rebels, they not only paid them but gave these men the right to do as they please within Congolese borders. This included terrorizing, extorting and abusing their power on the people they claimed to be helping. That is what makes us different. That is what makes us weak. We are a docile people to others but very hard on each other....since the beginning of time.

Even those of us in the west who are descendants of slaves took that same mentality with us. This "extreme" tribalistic and "better them than us" mentality. During the 70s and early 80s, Jamaicans killed each other based on political influence just so that their white or biracial candidates could get into office and fulfill their promises of "Americanizing the nation". Lives lost for what? Better cars, clothes, and means to brag. ('Greedy chief' syndrome) Smh. Don't get me started on African American issues.

Readers pls. don't get me wrong, I am not "putting Africans/black people down". I am just saying at what point do we realize that our M.O. is failing us and accept that WE ARE THE PROBLEM?

You suggest that particular character traits are our undoing, if that is true then it is our nature, our natural construct as fashioned out by God or random forces of nature, that is responsible for the state of the black man. Right?
That has very big implications you know

Beautiful contributions from Beaf, Shymex, Kobojunkie, MsDarkskin and the rest

However, it appears all the factors we have highlighted are mere epiphenomena of a yet to be identified cause. For example, most continents experienced slave trade and even profited from from selling their own for whatever material gains. Why has Africa reacted more negatively with these massive traits of backwardness than other races who also had similar experiences?

Also, if slave trade, colonization and/or connivance of the ruling classes are the fundamental issues, on what pivot do these factors rest? If we had "developed" significantly prior to the arrival of colonialists, if we had had sufficient or superior cerebral prowess; which would, among other things,have translated into the ability to defend ourselves against invaders, would we ever have been colonized? Studies seem to suggest that life started in Africa, why didn't these early Africans venture out like the Westerners did centuries later? Why didn't it ever cross anybody's mind then to see what was on the other side of the river? If it did, why didn't they have the technology to travel? So what made it so easy for us to surrender our sovereignty a such early dawn of time?

Some have advanced "default culture" as a possible reason. To start with, humans are not born with any culture, culture is a product of the interaction between innate cognitive processes and the environment as the individual seeks to make sense of the world. Therefore, culture, greed, selfishness, lack of self esteem, all character traits etc and even religion are all external manifestations of something congenital to a race.

So, when we trace all these factors long enough, we must arrive at a point, the end, an origin,an individual, the first individual, and the first black person,who embodied the race in terms of everything innate.

It is when I arrive at this end that I find myself at a beginning that i do not understand

My opinion is that all what we call "Basic Medical Science" courses (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology etc etc) should undergo major revisions as per their continued relevance in the Nigeria context.
Do we still need these courses? how many graduates of these degrees should we produce? who are the true employers of these people? what skill sets do they need? do we have to change titles, alter curricula and/or outrightly delete some things?
I have always been convinced that there is a serious need for The Physiological Society of Nigeria, and her counterparts in the other basic medical sciences to call a national dialogue on the future of those professions. The people who are bearing the brunt of the diminishing importance of these degrees are the younger generations of trainees, the established ones have little to bother about because there are ample teaching opportunities around for them. My prediction is that the next few generations down the road would even suffer more.
As an initial step in formally calling for a convocation to review these issues, I intend to initiate very soon a national survey to see where have all (Physiology) graduates ended in the last ten years or so and how are they doing. We would be consulting relevant industrial sectors to assess the employability of these degree holders. My hypothesis is that we do not need these degrees AS THEY ARE RIGHT NOW. I do hope the outcome would form a strong basis to draw the attention of The Physiological Society of nigeria, and schools that mass-produce these people, into a forum to channel a new course for the next generations.
If you already have a Bachelor's, my advice is to continue to doctorate level, that gives you substantial 'guarantee'; except of course you have a good job, a very good, promising job!
