Nigeria closed its border with Benin on August 20 in an attempt to stop the smuggling of contraband goods, including food and petrol, across the border. This decision by Africa’s leading economic power has had disastrous effects on vegetable growers in Benin, who are now struggling to sell their produce. Now it is common to see spoiled, unsold vegetables abandoned by the side of the road or, in some cases, even rotting on the vine. https://observers.france24.com/en/20191010-rotten-tomatoes-line-roads-benin-after-nigeria-closes-border 6 Likes

This is so sad, extremely bad, President Talon of Benin should find a way to appease Buhari and bring an end to this endless suffering of his people. lalasticlala 39 Likes 7 Shares

No amount of emotional blackmail will make Nigeria open the border. Benin should diversify their economy if they can't get it right .only land border re closed. They can export by air or water legitimately. Niger state + jigawa+ kwara + plateau all together re bigger than benin republic. It is better to enrich our local farmer selling 50kg rice 20k than buying cheaply from foreigners and killing our own farmers effort. The way some nigerians cry of bag rice you will think they buy bag of rice everyday or their families consume bag of rice everyday. An average Nigerian family cannot finish 1bag of rice in 1 month 369 Likes 31 Shares |

majamajic:the local farmers and manufacturers of local rice re gaining.. they re getting patronage and they re smiling to the bank. Customs made 300b within 2 months it is part of border closure effect. Nigeria petrol consumption drop by 8millions litres meaning we re saving subsidy funds on 8millions litres.and more than enough petrol to go round Many nigerians and stakeholders re now actively participating in rice cultivation which we improve self sufficiency in near future 199 Likes 15 Shares |

Can someone analyze how the closure of borders will benefit me as an individual? Cos all I see is inflation and famine. May I remind you the rationale for this very closure of borders? Its is almost solely to curb the issue of smuggling..... not just staple foods but everything....up from car spare parts down to your okirika clothes. Now that aside!! Closure of the bordering gates to curb smuggling analytically means all or most of the smuggled products come through those gates Now this should be the logic 1. smuggling is corruption (unarguable) 2. All smuggled commodities come through the border (very arguable) Closure of border will curb/reduce smuggling...........fine Mitigation of corruption at the borders will curb/reduce smuggling.........fine Since smuggling is a function of corruption in the borders (S=f(c)) Why not tackle corruption at the borders instead of subjecting the common man to more hardship without putting in place any form of ''shock-absorber'' When America wanted to boost their local steel production value that importation had almost crippled, you know what they did? they didnt even halt the importation, rather they lifted taxes on the local ores and placed huge taxes on the imported. Diplomatically, the market tilted to the side of the local steel production. Now this is how policies from informed set of parliaments look like. I have always said this, until Nigeria starts to run the government&police like a corporate organisation(bottom-up approach), where KPIs(key performance indicators) are reviewed, operations externally audited with impending sanctions for code of conducts breachers, only then the government can function. You've been shouting farming, need I remind you that locally made rice as a case study is always double the price of the imported. Now the imported has been banned, you think the prices of local rice would go down? Check your law of supply!!! Anyways thanks God fake/non-durable aba made clothings will be glorified atlast cos nobody go fit afford the original which import duties go don almost choke to death. So poor rats will be poorer cos aba made will now be more expensive once the demand increases. Government did the right thing for sure but it was poorly strategized and for the wrong cause!!! Anyways, Orun nyabo, kon shoro enikan (IF sky dey fall, na all of us head e go knack) Body go teh u!! 19 Likes |

This is pathetic so we don’t even plant our own tomatoes? Tomatoes that is naturally growing in my backyard and we are importing this from Benin and some dummies are shouting that the border should be opened? Let’s be reminded that in 1953 Jawalalu Nehru, then president of India ordered that the borders should be closed. The people asked him what why they wear or eat or drive? He asked them to starve and walk naked. He said how can a country have about 300,000,000 then and not be able to feed itself or provide even its own entertainment. Look at India today? Buhari should seal that border tight until we can provide our own food. We can’t just be totally big for nothing 97 Likes 12 Shares |

They might have a thoroughfare into the country. If they change their goods from Tomatoes to Grenades, and they change their route and destination to Sambisa forest. Borders are not often closed whenever BH is being supplied arms. My two cents. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

From time memorial , Nigeria has been the one sustaining Benin republic economy at the detriment of ours. They’re nothing but leeches. To those complaining about rice , why can’t the importers berth their cargos at our ports ? Why always Cotonou ? Because they give them lesser duties and smuggle everything into Nigeria all in the name of Ecowas trade crappy trade pact. 46 Likes 2 Shares |

It takes a stubborn person with the right mission,vision and road map to lead Nigeria out of its troubles. Buhari may be stubborn and have a mission, he clearly doesn't know what a road map is. By the way, why should we be allowing tomato imports in Nigeria when our own produce is sufficient for us. 10 Likes |
