Of course you have no sense, because anyone will common sense will know that things like this is what killing the local industries ( do you know how may jobs, a viable textile industry can provide to the mass of jobless graduates in the country. hint: worldwide this industry is the largest employer of labour after government)

Am not a fan of buhari one bit but I think his emergence is making everyone sit up at least to save their jobs

This is purely lip service to to iget GMBs attention becos for the Chinese to have brought in N20billion worth of goods it means they had the connivance of the customs head nigger before now

The so-called contraband will be converted to personal goods by the custom chiefs to make up for the bribes they forfeited in their quest to get buharis nod

You get good head and correct brain....

Whether we castigate or support we all hv dat nigerian problem in us. Yes importing prohibited goods harms d economy.the same economy we look up to for jobs, d same economy we wish will grow like america's. Stop pointing fingers at d customs dey only implement policies laid down by our govt same policies meant to protect us all. Its regrettable our educated youths cant see d harm contraband importation does. Although d govt shld put in place measures to revamp our textile industry bt contraband like dis kills our textile industry

I hope justice will be done and this criminals will be made to pay for their crime. Nobody can try such in China and escape punishment.

The goods are confiscated because it is illegal to be importing foreign textiles due they trying to resuscitate the Textiles Industry.It was made so because the cheap textiles were destroying the textiles industry.I do hope Buhari addresses the textile industry seriously because it is a major source of absorbing labour worldwide.Hence why the Chinese and Indians play dirty.Essentially Nigeria is a dumping ground for textiles,same as Ghana and other countries.

You need to look at it from a long term perspective where the constant importation is killing the Nigerian Textile Industry.Also as a foreigner...I think Africans deserve to gain from African fabrics as many of the designs are stolen and copied from African designers. Why should Chinese and Indians be gaining mostly off of something that is used mostly by Africans?Can't Africans be a major part of the manufacturing and value chain?Why must they be relegated to mere consumers?.Just my opinion.

I can understand how short-term it affects folks livelihood however but efforts must be made to increase local textiles production and minimize foreign textiles from the market.Hopefully they come up with a solution.

Chai! We need to educate ourselves in Nigeria. In case you didn't know, you are not allowed to import textile in Nigeria because we have the comparative advantage to produce them here. This is more beneficial to Nigeria since we then won't be wasting money on foreign exchange and we get to keep the profits IN Nigeria and not China. In short, importing textiles might be beneficial to Nigerians who want to wear fine clothes in the short run, but producing and exporting ourselves is beneficial to the economy as a whole in the long run.
