hisgrace090:

Think of it.

I am with Buhari on this. They need to first sort out xenophobia against innocent Nigerians first in Africa. No point being carried away by free trade agreement on paper while Nigerians will not be allowed to trade in peace. To go lose serious money when attacked. Or killed even.

Nigeria will just become a dumping ground for goods from outside Africa through African countries.

52 out of the continent’s 55 countries have signed the free trade agreement with the exception of Benin, Eritrea, and Nigeria due to concerns raised by local businesses. Nigeria’s failure to sign the agreement was due to concerns raised by its manufacturing association which says the AfCFTA would have a negative impact on its members.

Nigeria will regret this big time. There is so much to gain from being a partner to this agreement.

With their population ranging from 10m to 50m, do you think they would choose our product over theirs?.. that would kill their manufacturing industries.

martineverest:
the guy is right ..u are the dull person here.

Nigeria isn't signing cos we are the major target here.......our government isn't as senseless as u are

hisgrace090:



And Nigeria will equally have many countries to dump theirs too.

Our only fear is that we as people produce low quality goods that may not be accepted by many.

Meanwhile, this GUARANTEES that when foreign investors are seeking out a "beach-head" or "gateway" to access the rest of Africa, they will NEVER even look at Nigeria at all...

Esseite:
Buhari did a good job not joining the parasitic trade union... we would have been a dumping ground to them.

What has any of these countries imported from our Manufacturers before to grant free trade access.

martineverest:
learn to reason fast and deep before castigating

Benin isn't signing because they have the largest port in Africa...thus they will lose revenue

Nigeria isn't signing cos they are the main target... Chinese will take advantage of this by importing Chinese products to our neighbors and slamming 'made in Cameroon/Ghana/togo' on it

The pact aims to boost intra-African trade by making Africa a single market of 1.2 billion people and a cumulative GDP over $3.4 trillion. The UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) estimates that the implementation of the agreement could increase intra-African trade by 52% by 2022 (compared with trade levels in 2010) and double the share of intra-African trade (currently around 13% of Africa’s exports) by the start of the next decade.

Because Buhari is taking instruction from myopic people who want to protect tbeir selfish interest instead of wider continental interest.

And those saying China, you don't know what you're talking about. China is already everywhere all over Africa and this agreement is to their interest. China would earnestly want this.

Britain controls your president and most of your elites, so look there and you'll find what interests they'll want to protect with a brain dead president in power.

Nukilia:


Our government is actually more senseless than you can ever imagine. The public show of bragggado will not save the sinking ship of the Nigerian state under the incompetent leadership of the APC.

The statusquo is still being maintained on the part of the government, nepotism is the order of the day while incompetence is established in every facet of the Nigerian state.

Verily I say unto you, the #10,000 being shared by the APC to market women will not save this economy from the imminent collapse.

what a curse!

It's not until chains are put on your neck for you to be a SLAVE, the only prerequisite is to stop using your brain and the thinking Nations would enslave you.

When will Nigeria begin to think?

martineverest:
all thanks to china ulterior motive...I really applaud buhari for not being part of this treaty

WhoBeThisMan:
I'm sure you have ever left Nigeria to other African countries. You think the world revolves around Nigeria ?
