Keep deceiving yourself op. I visited nigeria on 12 of october and i left the country on the 2nd of november and i must say that what i witnessed this time was heartbreaking. People are suffering in nigeria and that's the truth. You can love nigeria all you want but the fact is people are suffering. Everytime i visit nigeria i always get angry at how wicked our rulers/politifians are. And op, yes those countries want our borders open because we have the population for their goods and they need to sell their goods. It's nothing to brag about. Have you checked the prices of food stuff lately in nigeria?
People are suffering.

Please sir, spare us this sermon. People have been suffering before now. The OP was just bring out our competitive advantage we have as national as against the narrative publish by international agencies which may not be totally "true".

Their economy depends on our poverty.
They are begging the most corrupt nation on Earth to do business with them. They have no buyers for their commodity.
Just In our neighbors domain, scarcity have hit them hard.

Meanwhile at home we are coping just fine

It's doesn't change the fact that Nigeria is still poor!!!

Only high profiled politicians are not feeling the scorching heat of this clueless government!

There's no job!!! Those who have, govt. Is still deliberating to pay them N30,000 A bag of rice is N28,000

It's high time we tell ourselves the truth, we both need each other!!! Remember that a hungry man is an angry man!!!

Many of these policies is only affecting the masses in a negative way!

This is a festive period, when masses come together once in a while to laugh away the stress during the year and he (Buhari) keeps springing out difficulties

Why didn't he close the border before/during election

He will not go unpunished, he should go and ask IBB who's confined in a wheelchair whose billions of money couldn't help

Mtcheeeeeeew, rubbish!!!

There is time for everything.. U don't punish an ailing/dying child for hitherto wrong doings... U make efforts to see the child gets treated ,healed and fully recovered before u administer any correction..assuming u still need to.U don't just rush and close a border when there are no palliatives on ground yet...no roads, no power,no security etc .


When production environment is favourable.. , local productions thrive ,then smuggling and unnecessary imports will die a natural death..imagine if local rice is made to sell at 4k...nobody will buy foreign rice at 20k,no matter how 'sweet'

How do we grow our economy, if those that send their products to us do not sight their companies here. How do graduates our universities produce year in and out get job. Dunlop Nigeria left to Ghana some years back, produce at Ghana sell to us here. Now, we close our land borders to solve and protect individuals companies that invested massively in rice production so that Nigerians can get jobs, you there sounding unpatroticc

Demzlent:
They said we are the poverty capital of the world.
Our President decided that we should just close our poverty stricken borders to the outside world so that we can manage on our own. Suddenly, scarcity hits Benin republic, Demonstration hits Ghana, Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines envoys all came calling.

Their economy depends on our poverty.
They are begging the most corrupt nation on Earth to do business with them. They have no buyers for their commodity.
Just In our neighbors domain, scarcity have hit them hard.

Meanwhile at home we are coping just fine. Our markets have not been hit by scarcity. It turned out they need us more than we need them. We have all it takes to stand alone as a nation.
All we need is a plan and a willing leader.

I love Nigeria ��.
