ElSudani:


No country can ever develop by relying on importation of almost everything. Even chicken and the toothpicks to pick your teeth afterwards. If you do that you are keeping the people of other countries employed why your country remains poor.

Pakute:

Are you now shifting your argument from production to monopoly? and who told you that tomatoes industry is a monopoly market?. Pls, stick to what you know abeg.
What has closure of factories related with the issue of importation.even though, you are obviously ignorant of the amount of FDI the country had attracted in couple of years.

Ubekus:
Pls Nigeria should import, these are local producers are killing us, with high increase of money everyday, everybody want to build mansion in one day,so obi is right.

JoeNL22:

And who told you imports will not increase employment in Nigeria?
What are the things we can easily produce?.....the cost of Goods are still high. America can produce cars easily yet they still allow imports. UK also allow imports in their country also. The truth is nature will always have it's way. If the world runs by your assertions above. Then things will be very difficult for people.

JoeNL22:

Judging from your statement.......with the restrictions of the imports! What has it done to the economy?......pls give us facts!
Hyper-inflation of the prices of goods and services are everywhere and you call that work in progress?. Pls go and read the basic concepts of economics (essential economics for senior secondary school) then comeback and let's talk.
No country will run it the way you are describing it above. No country!

Gent:
I`m an Obidient, l have never criticized him, not even for once. But the removal of import restriction is a big NO, NO to me. This policy go against productivity which he vowed to promote. It will have multiple negative effect on Nigerians, especially the local manufacturers.

ElSudani:


Nigeria today is the leading economy in Africa and increase in manufacturing and service industries are responsible for that. It may seem like nothing to you because you are not yet driving around in the latest BMW but Nigeria is definitely moving forward.

sisisioge:


I am a lay man....I count progress by my purchasing power. I count progress by the infrastructural development around me. I count progress by the strength of naira, etc.....omg, may God punish all the werey politicians ruining this country! May God punish them to their 10th generation! Whew!

ElSudani:


You are comparing a developed economy like the US with Nigeria. Korea and China at this point in their development can forget a whole industry and focus on something else not to mention the US. Did you know some Americans wanted the auto markers to go bankrupt and not rescued with tax payers money? Can Nigeria afford to let any kind of industry go down?

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


No I do not want the import restrictions to be removed I want Nigerian people to suffer and their children to suffer because this is the only way Yoruba nation and biafra can come to light. Nigeria destruction and collapse will be Yoruba nation and biafra success.

The people of Nigeria have to be sacrificed for the dream to come true.

There is no success without sacrifice. Do more Nigerian people suffer the better Our Dream for a nation becomes true

FlyoruB:
A Peter Obi presidency would usher in an era of Container economics', whereby our struggling local industries would be killed off completely to make way for the dumping of foreign goods that can otherwise be produced locally and exported for foreign exchange. That's enough reason not to vote for that Pandora fraudster.

asanausana91:
sorry I thought I was talking to an educated fellow.
Let me come down to your level; what I mean is that he should counter Reno accusations.
My pickin pls go back to school.

Emeks008:
This is what former cbn deputy gov said about peter obi economics plan.

If you read in between the line of what Reno tweeted above, he deliberately highlighted some two section of Nigeria which is North and south west. He made mentioned of Dangote tomato paste factory in Kano, Textile company in kaduna/Kano and some factories in Ogun and Lagos. He made it looks like peter obi policy will adversily affect Hausa/Fulani and Yorubas companies.

This guy is trying all his best to makes other tribes to hate Peter obi.

We are wiser now. His plan won't work.

Eriokanmi:
Reno will never see anything good in this I know lol..losers

Jestin:
Obi is coming

SpecialAdviser:
Reno is an inconsequential he-goat who think Nigerian youths can still be deceived by the lies of him and Atiku.

We are OBIDIENT already. APC/PDP can go and die

Godfullsam:
Reno is right on this..

This is the kind of criticism we want - constructive criticism

Removal of import restrictions will only encourage container economy which is unhealthy for a country thriving to move from consumption to production.

alizma:

Mr see good, tell us how removing import restriction will favour local manufacturers, just tell use in a simple language, in fact tell us in pidgin English.

bibe:


By taxing imports that can be made here higher to level the playing field. More revenue for the government to use in supporting local production capacity and know how.

alizma:

Sorry to say this, but always make sure you understand the topic of discussion before you make your contribution. From your response, it's crystal clear that you don't understand what import restriction means. Please go and check google, I believe you will have something different to say after that

Tinubuadvocate:
I have said it time without number that peter obi is senseless and dull.

pquaver:


So before 2015 Nigeria was good Abi? What we had was the best policies? You are raving but you have no 1 to tell you.. You are as dumb as your statements that I can't even differenciate between you two.. Obi is only talking. he is a politician.. No one kills his own business.. Highest importer telling you he will make you and exporter.. Are you reasoning at all? Obi won't kill what he laboured year to build because of you. Get it into your thick skull.
At your 2015 remark maybe eedris, fela raskimo and all who sang about Nigeria's decadence prior to 2015 were all hallucinating.. Only you is in your right senses abi.. Ndi ara ndi ara everywhere..

BigIyanga:

You dont have to be openly disingenuous about 2015. In 2015, exchange rate was N200 vs N750 in 2022. In 2015 a bag of rice was N11k vs N40k in 2022. In 2015 a pure water satchet was N5 vs N15 in 2022. In 2015 a litre of diesel was N189 vs N900 in 2022. Even wealth billionaires would take 2015 over 2022. Everything is not blind argument
