Barely 24 hours after shutting all borders for the 2015
elections, the Federal Government on Thursday reversed
the order by reopening sea borders.

The reversal was announced by the Interior Minister,
Abba Moro, at the commissioning of Koto-Karfe Prison.

The minister said that the Federal government had
received advice that closing the sea borders would
adversely affect the nation’s economy.

He however, assured that officers and men of the Nigeria
Immigration Service had been directed to effectively
monitor movements in and out of the country’s sea
borders before, during and after the election.

It will be recalled that the government had in a statement
on Wednesday directed that all Nigeria’s land and sea
borders be closed from 12.00 mid night Wednesday
25th March, 2015 to 12.00 mid night of Saturday 28th
March, 2015.

OK. Noted.

When I first heard that the sea borders will be closed 3 days before the elections, I was very worried about the economic rationale behind the decision. This reversal also highlights how top level decisions are taken spontaneously in this country without proper thought and consultations.

I desire change

open sea borders...

close land borders!

BTW just a minute few travel by sea so why close it

Foolish man ...no government closes her Land, Sea borders 72 hours before an election. It should be 24 hours before. Mofo!

Good decision Mr. President.

For the LOVE of COUNTRY... GEJ till 2019.

Is it not common sense that clossing the borders means danger to the economy? Do they even have to be told?


Bumbbling incompetent idiots. I just can not&stand these&worthless clown.

If you say don't close SEA, I will agree with you but LAND, no, I disagree with you.

In fact left for me LAND borders should be closed five days to election owing to the fact that millions of illegal Nigeriens and Chadians entered and registered to vote in Nigeria.

So lock them out I say and let them go and follow through the sea and see whether they won't drown trying to enter Nigeria.

Let d gunz come in
Let d ammunitions come in

Vote cum sai transformation
Vote cum sai jonathan
Vote cum sai pdp

Try and be objective and do some research.

This is not the first time Nigeria will be closing its borders for election.

Or has GHANA never closed theirs for election.

DO NOT ABUSE WITHOUT PROPER RESEARCH AND COMPARING NOTES

Hahaha ...I hear you BUT what about the Nigerians who travel out by road to trade in other West African countries trying to come back and vote? Are you going to exclude them from voting? Let me tell you Border control is ZERO in Nigeria. Even with the order ....if you want to cross just part with some money - N500.00 to be precise (Seme) and they would allow you one time!
