/ Good move. Necessity is the mother of invention. This should move Nigerians to the drawing board. With all the natural resources in Nigeria, why was Nigeria operating import-dependent economy to the point of importing freaking toothpicks? Nigeria is finally wielding her power. / 5 Likes 1 Share |

Harlem2: President Buhari wears Gucci shoes instead of Aba made. President Buhari's official cars are Maybachs instead of Innoson or PAN. President Buhari goes to foreign hospital which he's been going to since the late 70s (He said it himself in the only interview he granted in 2015) instead of National Hospital Abuja. President Buhari trained his Children abroad instead of ABU Zaria. I don't want to mention our first lady. Let Buhari lead by Example. It's easy for them to ban these things because they can easily use tax payers money to buy anything they want (foreign goods) 5 Likes 1 Share |

bonnyhope:Benin Republic intentionally refused to police its own borders with Nigeria for decades because smuggling of illegal goods into Nigeria constitutes about 25% of its economic GDP. Benin Republic practices a leeching economic system where they import what they don't need(rice, cars, food, etc.), collect import duties on them and dump everything into Nigeria that has the market and purchasing power. They also smuggle our fuel that Nigerian govt has spent billions on to subsidise for Nigerians. That's why..."no country can survive economically with a country like Benin Republic as its neighbour" Even though our corrupt customs are helping them, the Nigerian government expects Benin Republic to do its own part first, hence the border closure. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

Sirnuel:They did not ban food importation, they banned importation (smuggling ) through the land borders. If you want to import food into the country, import it through Apapa port, Tin can Island ports, Calabar ports, or any other Nigerian sea ports. 4 Likes |

She was able to block loop holes to the benefit of themselves , like wise all these gragra is to their benefit and not the masses interest They are thinking with their foot 1 Like |

This is very hard but the president determine to pursue internal economic development for the betterment of this country, though no pain, no gain, this policy will seriously encourage investors to Nigeria and it'll also boost an employment opportunities for our teeming youths due to when there's porousity of borders it discourage capitalists because they will not like to invest at where border porousity exist. 2 Likes |

surgical:As explained earlier, goods are not banned, only smuggling is banned.
Yes, the sea ports are in bad shape. We should advocate, the opening up and use of more ports across the country ie, warri port, Portharcourt port, Calabar ports, etc. The hardship of getting goods from Benin republic through Badagry road is harrowing. That road is in a very very bad shape. 1 Like |

edoairways:Neither does it encourage unilaterally dishonoring the agreement. If governments could just do whatever they want to, Britexit would have been a thing of the past. The Northern Ireland boarder issue which is not yet resolved is what is still holding the exit move. That is how civilized people operate. Your word is your bond and anything contrary is bound to have serious consequences. |

wirinet: Why must importers of unbanned products use airport or seaport? Why not the border if it is cheaper after paying the import duties and levies required? Honestly, banning importation via the borders is not a good move. |
