“In no time, I will be relocating to my village to look for alternative means of survival since the market is becoming unfavourable daily,” Conde said. Lol Buhari is sending smugglers and their accomplices back to the village o! This action has singlehandedly shown a glimpse of the economic power that Nigeria wields. As far as India and Thailand, they are crying. Even the IMF can't talk nonsense again, they are confused. Buhari no get certificate, e no go school. Yet, he is confounding Professors of Economics. 162 Likes 17 Shares

![]() I've never liked Buhari's style of government but I'll admit it that I like his closed-border policy. I never knew Nigerians were this important to their West African neighbours as long years of the military government and civilian governments treating Nigerians like crap makes me feel like Nigerians are a trashy specie of no consequential value to humanity. 133 Likes 13 Shares |

Buhari should lock off the border, send the key to oba akirolu to dump it to the lagoon. If Benin feel threatened they should buy land in Nigeria for farming rice otherwise am really sorry for them. Alot of African countries are cashing out of Nigeria through the back door. Buhari as shown us a new way of dealing with those shitty countries. Once any of them misbehave na to saction them by closing our border. 90 Likes 8 Shares |

I think the border should remain closed for the economic benefit of our dear nation. The traders shouldn't complain cuz before rice there are other food products that people do eat and it also serves as some set of people's source of income. Rice came, get them out of business/change their business plan. I was told that people only eat rice during Xmas in those days. All these wailing Wailer's should just find another country to be depositing their garbages. I don't fancy rice tho'. If everybody can be like me rice would have been extinct.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH *Benin Republic has a population of 12 million people. But it is the worlds 5th importer of rice. In 2018, it imported rice worth US$996m.* *Benin is also world's largest importer of _used_ _cars_ and __second_ - _hand_ _clothing_ . All with a population of 12m people. DO YOU WONDER HOW?? *98.2% of these imports into Benin are only on transit; their final destination is _NIGERIA_ !* *Nigeria is world's largest consumer of used cars and second hand clothing, and is also Africa's largest consumer of Asian grown rice.* *The problem here is that all these imported goods attract appropriate import duty and trade tax, which are paid to the Beninoise Government while the goods are thence SMUGGLED into Nigeria WITHOUT ANY PAYMENT to the Nigerian Government and, thereby, adding zero value to the Nigerian economy!* *Sadly, THIS IS ALL DONE BY NIGERIANS!* *Granted, ECOWAS/CEDEAO charter allows for free trade between member states, but _on_ _goods_ _produced_ _in_ _member_ _countries_ , and NOT on imports from other economic blocs.* *Where foreign goods are transiting through a member country, and ending up in another member country, the ECOWAS charter stipulates that the country of transit MAY collect a token trade tax, and its Customs officials should then escort the goods to the border of the importing country and hand it over to the Customs officials of the importing country!* *But what we see in the case of Benin Republic is that it collects _CUSTOMS_ _DUTY_ plus _TRADE_ _TAX_ , and then allows the goods to pass through its hinterland for onward smuggle into Nigeria!* *This is a clear violation of ECOWAS statutes and no nation can condone such costly infraction.* *Nigeria has tolerated this nonsense from Benin for far too long and it is time to stop the malpractice if we want Nigeria's economy to grow.* *(Therefore, whoever cries foul because we have closed our borders to smugglers while we're putting our act together, IS AN ENEMY OF NIGERIA!)* *Nigeria makes up about 74% of ECOWAS population and about 71% of its economy. It is ECOWAS that needs Nigeria and not the other way round!* ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEMBER COUNTRIES MUST BE BASED ON EXTANT REGULATIONS! 157 Likes 23 Shares |

People don’t under the demerit of this free trade agreement.. Our domestic industries are suffering. They can't compete with countries that have a lower standard of living. As a result, they’re closing up and rendering a lot of people jobless. Let them close all borders so we can sort out domestic industries, give them the platform to grow and compete with others before thinking of opening anything. Those foreign companies bringing stuff here are not helping the local industries before our government isn’t functioning to begin with. Even the ones (foreign) that set up their industry here, are still scamming/cheating us. I don’t like commenting on stuff like this or support this administration, but they got this right. Unfortunately some useless people are taking advantage of this situation by allowing smugglers, while the marketers they’re helping are still repackaging foreign right for us. We are our problem in this country. 30 Likes 3 Shares |

Is it not shameful to Benin Republic that smuggling of illegal goods into Nigeria constitutes 20% of their GDP?? A serious country would take this border closure as an opportunity to develop its local economy once and for all. Most of their graduates are employed in the smuggling-into-Nigeria sector instead of in standard companies or offices that provide goods and services. After leeching on Nigeria for decades, these smaller countries still have the guts to disrespect us. Nonsense saboteurs! 42 Likes 3 Shares |
