We live in animal kingdom where anything goes. The government cannot close border or ban importation of highly demanded good outrightly without putting measures in place to meet it's demand. First, it was OBJ regime that first ban importation of rice, used cars and used clothes without providing alternatives for the teaming population of Nigeria. What did we gain from that exercise, nothing, absolute nothing. Demand for these products made the importers to use Benin ports to import these goods and smuggle them back to Nigeria through our porous borders. Yaradua took over and relaxed OBJ ban but the importers keep using Benin Port for their importation as is cheaper for them. The truth is that Nigerian government is the problem not Benin or Niger you don't mess around with these countries policies but Nigerian government are never sincere in their policies especially when it concerns the citizens that's why most people flaunts government policies especially when it comes to the public. All of you hailing this administration on border closure are jus being narrow minded, we should be demanding government commitment in helping to make the production of the banned goods possible, cheaper and affordable. 1 Like |

By the way, we should all remember that goods can still be imported through our ports and by air. Only land borders are closed. Those who export from Thailand should send directly to our ports instead of channelling through Togo/Benin for smuggling into Nigeria. I don't see why this is too much to ask. 5 Likes |

RTSC: You get the drift This is the major reason for underdevelopment and poverty in Africa We use our scarce foreign earnings to enrich other countries Do they know how much dollars CBN uses weekly to maintain Naira rate stability If Naira is not defended It will lose value Because we are an importing Nation, importing almost everything Nigerian importers will be seeking dollars to buy goods at the international markets To get dollars they exchange it with Naira And because Naira is chasing the dollar. It depreciates In addition our borders are too porous due to land connection Benin republic then imports through there ocean and smuggle into Nigeria Which is double wickedness Even government loose revenue on top Government should keep the closure till indefinite simple Its total bleed for the economy Until our neighbours go get sense. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Win12345: There is NO ban on imported rice through our ports. Always, always .do your research before posting. Imported rice cannot land Nigeria below N15,500 per bag. That's why some guys are smuggling. If everyone imports rice through OFFICIAL and legal points of entry, Nigeria will make a minimum of N350bn in duties. 2 Likes |

larryking540: Bollocks! Here's another one. What caves or high-brow towers do some of you live in that you are not aware that there are refined, stone-free Nigerian rice brands in the country which have been doing well? So many smart phones, so many uniformed people. Some of you just loooooooove to complain. On and on and on about what you are obviously so ignorant about. Seek knowledge first. Funny thing is that some of you have been eating made in Nigerian rice for years but are non-the-wiser since anything in a package is referred to by you as "foreign rice." Learn. 4 Likes 1 Share

What sort of people am I interacting with here sef? Are y'all still toddlers or do you actually cater for yourselves? Cos it seems non of you has been to a market to get any of these stuff before.
