Why Buyers Find It Difficult To Patronize Berger Automobile Market

in Auto Mart

 
 Fresh investigations carried out by Shipping Position Daily have revealed why many buyers; especially people who know about automobile are reluctant to patronize Berger Automobile market.

Even though it boasts of different vehicles of diverse models and year, Africa’s biggest automobile market which is located at Berger along Apapa Oshodi expressway, is also considered as one of the most expensive car marts in Nigeria. 

When our correspondent spoke with a cross section of Nigerians last week, some maintained that despite the effort of the officers of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to get rid of smuggled vehicles, Berger automobile market seems to house smuggled vehicles.

A freight forwarder who simply gave his name as Mr. Ugochukwu Udo, advised that customs should ensure that a routine check of particulars and documents of vehicles at the Berger auto mart is carried out regularly.

“I won’t advice anybody close to me to buy motor from Berger, most of the cars they sell at that place do not have genuine papers and duties are not properly paid on them. What they know there is bring in the vehicle and sell and their cars are always very expensive”

Also speaking, an agent who does not want his name in print argued that most cars at Berger are damaged cars which have gone through different series of repairs before they are sampled and as a result may not give you the desired result.

“You know Berger is an automobile market and what they are after is making profit. So what they do mostly is to buy damaged cars which are mostly cheaper, repair them and sell and in that case they will be making more profit. To me I won’t blame them because it is all about making profit”

 A car owner who simply gave his name as Mr. Emma explained that he still enjoys a Honda Accord he bought at an auto shop at FESTAC four years ago than a Toyota Camry he bought at Berger in 2017.

“I do little or no work on the Honda except servicing, unlike the Camry I bought at Berger”, he said.

Meanwhile in his response, the President of United Berger Motor Dealers of Nigeria (UBMDN), Metche Nnadiekwe said there is no smuggled vehicle at Berger, adding that all the vehicles at the mart have genuine papers.

He challenged anyone to come with evidence of smuggled cars at Berger.

“How will you be asking me this type of question every time you call me, are you the one smuggling the vehicles into the ports. Tell whoever told you that that he is crazy, he will come and check if there are smuggled vehicles here”

“You call me to ask, there are some certain things you have to ignore, it is not everything one says that will be in paper. Okay, there is no smuggled vehicle here in Berger, if anybody says there is a smuggled vehicle, he or she should come and show us the vehicle, because Berger is a very big market”, he concluded.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
