Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, has urged the federal government to “urgently dialogue with Nigeria’s neighbouring countries to jointly fight the menace of smuggling which necessitated the closure of Nigeria’s borders.

These so called human right activists like Femi Falana might just be saboteurs afterall..I do not see any reason why a patrotric citizen would go to a country who is at the receiving end of his country's policies and condemn same publicly in solidarity with another nation..Even though the policy may be harsh on some Nigerians right now, but no doubt , it's in the overall interest of all Nigerians.So even if Falana is talking about the law,(I have my reservation anyway)he has to be loyal to his country first..His statement seems to be protecting the interest of other countries first ahead of his country but people like him would still come and condemn the Government for massive unemployment in the country..I lost my respect for Mr Falana on this..because the truth is, Whatever the situation of things are in Nigeria, economic strength of folks like him would never be affected badly...He is a billionare by all standard! 154 Likes 12 Shares |

This suggestion by Femi Falana is welcomed only in sane environments. When Patrice Talon became president of Benin Republic, he met with Buhari at Seme, and I'm sure Buhari must have told him to do something positive about the smuggling issues Nigeria is having through them. He's twice met with Buhari afterwards that I know of, yet no positive effort was done by him. The Nigerien president, hmm, this one must be Buhari's padi; I'm 1000% sure Buhari has urged him to do something positive to curb Nigeria's smuggling issues through them, but no, he didn't listen. They turned the president of the most populous black country on earth, and Africa's most progressive economy into a barking dog. Now that president Buhari has decided to play his last card, everybody's on his neck. Kilode? Must Nigerians continue to suffer because of her neighbours? . . I have to scold the Nigerian government too, but, I reserve my comment for now. 101 Likes 8 Shares |

Not a smart move if you ask me. The border closure is a blessing in disguise if Nigeria government can support subsistence and commercial farmers in Nigeria via loan and access to good seedlings. Also, tax incurred from imported goods if well utilized can boost power, industries and other critical sector growth. My own worries is that of the porous border up north as greedy politicians and co will exploit this avenue to accumulate overnight wealth. 31 Likes |

In the alternative, smuggling should be addressed like terrorism which is being jointly combated by Nigeria and her neighbours.” Nigeria should ho negotiate its terms on what concrete actions does Nigeria want Benin and Niger to take to reopen borders. Im thinking they should agree to more information and deploying more security forces on their side of border. I agree with falana on joint borde opperations. Trump's deal with Mexico is good example to follow. The US got Mexico to agree to more information sharing, station national guard at their southern border and keep asylum seekers in Mexico until their cases are resolved in the US. 5 Likes 1 Share |

No! The border should be left closed. Govt should while that is ongoing, focus on domestic manufacturing industries to enable them develop to be competitive in the global market. China did it, the Koreans, Japan, hell even USA did it and are doing a bit of it now. Let's focus on areas where Nigeria has comparative advantage, and develop those before we fall borders and open our markets. I recommend 'Kicking Away the Ladder' by H. Joon-Chang and we'll understand the benefits of protectionism in international trade, and how it was done by developed nations. Unrestricted free trade helps no developing nation, and kills local infant industries. I also recommend sending a mail to editus dot ng at gmail dot com, if you want an IELTS tutor in Lagos, with a comparatively guaranteed one-time success at the exam. 21 Likes |

sincerely I was against the border closure initially, but after long thought,and watching hameed Ali's presentation at the house, personally I reasoned that closing the border: will increase our productivity create more jobs in and we need to know that the foreign rice we eat is usually harmful even our own Innoson motor will benefit tremendously our Rice Mill will Also benefit . though am not a supporter of this administration,but that's the fact 9 Likes |

No comment but I have to say this, Lawyers can be liars just to win a case. He needed to win the heart of Ghanaian, after all why are you saying it now that you are in Ghana. The border have been close since. A beg President Buhari, when are ordering ban on generator importation and foreign medical trip for serving government officials and family. This will help improve our power Sector and improve our healthcare system. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Falana I have some much respect for you but on this I must disagree...I am very sure warning has been issued consistently without them yielding to it so blame them not us...If they want to get their goods to the shores of Nigeria then they should use ports and pay all duties rather than illegally crippling our economy at the expense of their economic progress whilst we sit and suffer.....we cannot continue to play Africa's big brother to this ungrateful lots that eventually turns back to bite us...... All Africans don't deserve our help.we have help them from time to time and the least they always end up giving us is hate..for the first time let's look out for ourselves 9 Likes |
