etrouble: Parochial narrow minded youths will also not know that Nigeria really has no comparative advantage in production of rice. We will still need yo import about 50% of rice even when we produce, or do you think rice can be planted all over Nigeria because it is big. There are other products we have comparative advantage of and we are not talking about them or even trying yo take advantage of the advantage we have. Cassava, cashew, millet, Cocoa, sesame seed, Sorghum, even yam etc are products we can use to earn huge foreign exchange but because we CONSUME rice that we don't really produce then we can close border for it. Closed border, even those that want to export/import other products are caught up and its only rice we talking about. |

Have not heard any comment from PDP on this boarder closure. Why do they react to only negative development, when it is positive they turn blind eye and deaf ears to it. Is opposition meant to condemn only? 1 Like |

If the government reopen our borders in January then they had suffered Nigerians for nothing cos everything will just go back to normal and those who have invested massively to revive our dead industries will lost there money. So let's beg the govt to sustain the border closure against all odds for at least 5years. 5 Likes |

codedguy1: But, being self-sufficient rice production reduces the impact on our FX reserves. A country that can feed itself can develop itself. The next focus should be banning fuel imports and getting the refineries to work after 5 years of Buhari holding the ministry of petroleum porfolio there should be no excuse why Nigeria refineries are still working at 10 % capacity. |

I don't have a lot of issues with the boarder closure as long as it is temporary and when reopened it is well equipped to follow the set out rules by Ecowas convention. There needs to be a round table too discourage Benin, Togo and Ghana from allowing indiscriminate importation of goods that are clearly meant to be dumped in the Nigerian Market. That goes for every good not just Rice and Cars. I am surprised that frozen chicken and Turkey has not come up in the discussion. Since we are taking about boarder closure to enhance the local economy, I would like the presidency to consider taking his 15 day vacation in Ogudu or Tinapa or any other resort in Nigeria rather than taking our hard earned Fx to London to rest. That too is as bad as importing RICE. Mr. President took power as a sick man and thank God he has fully recovered after spending probably what Ogun and Enugu states spends on its entire population's healthcare needs in hospitals in London where his money is not needed. Yet in 5 years, they cannot build a clinic (Not even hospital) fit for followup treatment...... Thousands of Doctors have fled Nigeria for greener pastures because the government continues to fail them. Mr. President rides in Mercedes S class (German) with Land Cruiser Escorts (Japan) Why can't Innoson or Peugeot be commissioned to build a presidential fleet that will use Nigerian labour to build thereby building skill and expertise. Once again you say I should eat local rice yet you are driving foreign car. Customs boss is happy the boarder are closed good for him, but have we heard that anybody has been disciplined or sacked for allowing full container loads of contraband pass through the bad roads that lead into the country (I say bad roads to emphasise that nobody speedily sneaks a 40 ft container into Nigeria you have to go slow and pass several custom checkpoints where palms are greased to ease movement), somehow nobody customs has been arrested or persecuted for taking the bribes... Before Alhaji Alli takes the spec out of our eyes, please tell him he has a big broom in his eyes. Leadership is by example. Same way your children imitate you. Give us something worthy of emulating and watch Nigeria become a real giant of Africa. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

sulaak: Perfecting the process of production and distribution should be attained to reduce the impact of a sudden border closure. Just waking up and closing the border is insensitive and not well thought out. Banning fuel imports is the right thing to do but it only becomes the right thing if the refineries are at least working. Imagine if tomorrow we wake up and fuel importation is banned and dangote refinery we are all supposedly banking on is incomplete. |

okeyumez: China did not do, for many years in the 2000's, the country ran a big trade deficit. If its borders were closed, how can you run a trade deficit? If China closed its borders, how then did it become the world's largest exporter of goods? Import duty on cars into China is 15%.
