he said it with his mouth, a slow reader will also have slow assimilation and comprehension, everything about the man is slow and that is the reason Nigeria is like this,

Have u come across a sluggish person? they are always very annoying. They can't meet up with anything at the stipulated time.

This herdman doesn't read budget before he signs no wonder national assembly pad and input figures to our budget.

From body odour, to ear problem, to brain dead. These are the qualities of a zombie MR President

He said, So, in trying to guarantee employment, goods and services in our country, we have to be careful with agreements that will compete maybe successfully against our upcoming industries.


GOD BLESS MY PRESIDENT.
Man wey sabi
Mai Suya, you are a condemned soul. In the last thread you were hailing him for refusing to sign the treaty.

Life of a Zombie will make a nice read as a book.

Thanks MBuhari. 2.1 billion market size, 765 Trillion Naira annual worth of trade is never something to joke with.

We Won!

Those bashing me in the last thread, how market?

It's common sense.

Cost of production in your country is higher than many of these countries.

Besides, some of these African countries are dumping grounds for goods from Europe,


What this simply means is that the country will be filled with cheaper goods from other countries

It took South African president to force him to sign the agreement. Why did he refuse to sign it initially. Pity that South Africa has the biggest influence in Sub saharan Africa and Nigeria has no other option than to bend to their wish, remember the MTN saga

Does Nigeria have anything to gain from this or the other African countries are to gain more?

That's why I love America...... If they won't gain more they won't sign it.

I understand what you are saying.

But this particular arrangement is not the same as the western backed EPA.

This is Nigeria vs other African countries. Study the structure of Africa economy and you will appreciate what MBuhari just did.

This is a deal of the century.

2.1 billion consumer market, 765 Trillion Naira worth of annual trade is what this free trade zone can offer.

The truth is no African country has more capacity to dumb cheap goods in Nigeria than we have to dumb in theirs.

Nigeria controls the Chinese African market and boasts of the most sophisticated China-Africa trade network.

It will our Igbo brothers less than a month to over run Ghana with cheap goods if they dare any unwholesome activity with Nigeria.

Don't forget Nigeria is still the hub of the Chinese currency (Yuan) market in Africa.

No African country is a threat.

Believe me top industrialists in Nigeria not the mushroom manufacturers are the ones that convinced this government to backtrack.

I have a business I have trying to take to Ghana, with the restriction gone, it would be more easier. Nigeria will benefit through the repatriated funds.

So who is an illiterate now? Some people are so foolish and can't differentiate btw local politicking and puting their own country at disadvantage over others. Who says they are not begging us to sign? If they are not begging why did African nations send the president of second biggest economy to Abuja?

You still don't get it. The cost of production in Nigeria is very high and if we sign this trade pact, EU companies will set up shop in Morroco and flood us from there with there products getting here tarriff- free, which would be cheaper than our own local products....There is no hope for competitive Nigerian businesses especially manufacturing companies to cope.

The south-Africa that he is talking about haven't signed it too to avoid there economy being a dumping ground. This is a mistake

I believe in fair trade and not free trade.


Protect your local industries as well as allow a controlled inflow of foreign goods in order to meet quantity demanded without destroying local industries.


Jobs first.

Cheap products second.

The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa should tell the Government of Nigeria the steps his government has taken so far to cursion the killing of Nigerians in South Africa. We want to know those who are behind these killings, and how they are punished. We may be force to conclude that South Africans hates Nigerians, and is time to draw the battle line of hatred between both countries.

I really understand you and this is actually my fear about this deal, Nigeria will soon turn to united state with trade deficit with everyone we trade with.
Right now Chinese company are setting up factories in Ghana with the intension of entering Nigerian market. We use the way tokunbo cars exporters used cotonue has a base to target Nigerian market and it worked for Benin republic so much that 30% of their GDP is actually based on Nigeria's tokunbo car market.
We lack industrial infrastructures and any body setting up industry must provide those infrastructures which will add to the cost of production.

I'm aware that Nigeria has advantage in certain in certain way for example we have edge in petrochemical, fertilizer. Plastics and certain Agricultural product but I doubt we will benefit much from this agreement with the current attitude of our leaders.
