Bro. I am surprised I never heard about D-8. And i am sure many of us here are guilty. Please google it. Apparently the D-8 countries are categorized as "developing countries and majorly muslims". So, we are in the group not just because we are developing but because we are also majorly muslims. It does not seem we are partnering for trade only based on this definition if you ask me. These countries lack any serious skills we need and they are not financial heavyweights. This is not the time to open our boarders without scrutiny. Something is not right. We as a people need to be more discerning and get a bit more analytical on global issues. The argument on trade and skill is very weak so, what's up?



The idea of cooperation among major Muslim developing countries was mooted by Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, the then Prime Minister of Turkey, during a Seminar on “Cooperation in Development” which was held in Istanbul in October 1996. The group envisioned cooperation among countries stretching from South East Asia to Africa. Representatives from Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria and Pakistan attended the Seminar. This conference was the first step towards the establishment of D-8 and it was only after a series of preparatory meetings that D-8 was set up officially and began its activities with the Istanbul Declaration issued at the end of the summit of Heads of State and Government held in Istanbul on June 15, 1997

These countries no be am at all. Terrorist countries. They can keep their visa, such countries should not have free entry into Nigeria. Who even sat down and thought of such a stupid idea. As if Boko is not enough.

Living Life without food or money for sustenance and being afraid of some terrorist, which one is worst? Up north where insurgency is at its peak re pipo not still trading ?.

The Federal Government has called for the abolition of visa requirement among the members of the Developing Eight (D- Countries Organisation for Economic Cooperation to ensure free movement of people and trade.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the call when he met with the Secretary General of the organisation, Dr Seyed Ali-Mohammed, on Wednesday, in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the D-8 countries are Nigeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Pakistan and Turkey.
“One area that I think D8 must to work on and if really they want to succeed, they must make sure that there is no barrier in term of visa among those eight countries.
“You cannot grow any trade talk less of tourism, if I cannot have easy access to Malaysia, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan.
“You can imagine the volume of trade that will develop over night if only you can make sure that if I want to go to Iran that there is bilateral agreement between Nigeria and Iran, between Nigeria and Pakistan and among those eight countries that there will be free movement of people.
“It is free movement of people that will guarantee free movement of trade.
“So, this is one area that I believe that you need to work hard on.’’
Mohammed, who commended the organisation’s focus on tourism development, said the provision of infrastructure was critical to the development of domestic tourism.
According to him, “until you develop domestic tourism, you cannot have international tourism”.
In his remarks, Ali-Mohammed said the purpose of his visit was to intimate the minister about the organisation’s resolve to focus on tourism development as the area of cooperation among member countries.
“The meeting today I am enthusiastic about tourism.
”Very recently, on the proposal of member states, we came to conclusion that tourism or so could be one of our priority areas.’’
