for Nigeria to be able to keep some of those companies, it really need to improve on it infrastructure
like water and electricity

Tell zombie isthatso

[s]I live in Lekki Phase 1 and I have 24 hours electricity which I run by myself .No I have never heard of redeemed camp in my life and nothing will carry me to that part of Lagos .. When you can buy a property in Lekki phase one come back let's talk . Don't even go there with me because I am sure before I finish typing this I have made your monthly income.. I have never bought a second car in my life and I have given people cars and I swear none was second hand . You are too dull for my liking[/s]

Go and die, we don't want anything Ghana in Nigeria. Period

Empty head

IMAliyu:

Imagine trying to start up something like a tech company in a country that doesn't have 24/7 electricity.
Basic infrastructure electricity, water, transport is always the most important factors for any business anywhere.

I know u are an enemy of Nigeria, I am not surprise, the border remain close, go hug transformer. Enough of smuggling

so it is only closing of border that can stop smuggling right? The level of dumbness in this country is too high

National budget, gross domestic product, GDP per capita are all different things. If Nigerians In one sector of the economy put together all their money, it will be far far far far bigger than the national budget.

Most zombies don't know Nigeria is a $300bn economy down from $500bn in 2015 all thanks to bubu.
Hope your education serves him well

they dont pay the correct duty, this is why imported textiles are cheaper and our own textile mills have shut down resulting in no jobs

why don't they pay the correct duty? In your small head now you have made sense

Ignoramus
Cocacola scaled down the distribution network in Nigeria two years ago due to lower productivity and cost cutting leaving many jobless.
Guinness imports some of its drinks from Ghana.
Same with Unilever. Blue band margarine is no longer produced in Nigeria.

Did they tell you any of this is because they are using diesel?

Agboriotejoye:

I have helped to cancel out ur lies. Now go to those companies and ask them how using those generators and spending daily on diesel affects their overheads

you see why you will never be anything more that a foolish child following a failed twitter noisemaker?

what does any business do? they transfer the cost to the customer by factoring it into their pricing?
why do you think banks have all those atm elated charges?
a simple barber will increase his price during fuel scarcity - immediately transferring his cost of sourcing fuel to the customer

. can you please yammer among your contemporaries? i am not interested in talking with an empty heade slowpoke who takes 30 minute s to respond because he is an ignorant dolt who only wants to troll

you are stupid and ignorant. you can share your idiocy among your fellow wailers. disciple of reno omorkri

The timing of the border closure is bad, but the idea is good. Those products you are importing from Mali are they made in Mali? Probably a foreign company produces it in Mali with Nigeria market as mail target. That's the issue the gorverment is trying to solve. Let the companies come and Establish in Nigeria and create jobs for our people.

established your company in Nigeria and run generator for 12 hours daily.....lol is that not madness?

BUSINESSARENAA:
I once said that the closure of these borders is not a properly thought idea, but some ignorant entities were ranting up and down.

Rice is not the only commodity that passes through a border. There are a lot of genuine business that passes through the land border.

If you are importing or exporting to some of the west African countries, it's easier and more cost effective to use the land boarders than the sea port.

Imagine a man exporting textiles to Ghana from Kano, how possibly will he do that through the sea port in APAPA?

I am totally against rice smuggling but the government should have come up with smarter ideas to deal with this issue, and not shutting down the whole boarder.

Presently I have about two trailers of hides and skin from Mali parked at the boarder incurring bills, with high possibility of spoiling within the shortest period of time because of its present condition.

How do I import from Mali to Nigeria through the seaport?

It is only those that does not understand what happens at the land boarders that are jumping up and down.

Once again I reiterate my stance against smuggling rice through the boarders, but we have to be more tactical in handling certain issues as regards to our economy.


This boarder issue in Nigeria is like a fly perching on a man's scrotal sack, you have to apply wisdom in dealing with it, if not you may end up hurting yourself terribly bad if you hit it with great force.

smartness is not synonimous to Buhari.

See how Reno is still grinding ur balls since yesterday.
What a life of pains? I'm sure you're a roadside economist not to know that every business looks to minimise cost and maximise gain. Mumu thinks transferring cost is like ABC without realising that increase in cost leads to reduced demand and even substitution of products.
Taah!! Go away!! Your foolishness irritates me

Iamgrey5:
Not only 3 trillion, it's 75 trillion

Awon olobe

They should tell me how possible is it that there is a 3trillion industry somewhere in Nigeria that we are not aware of.

They first claimed the border in north is flourishing, while only the southern borders are closed in order to pitch the south against the north.

As soon as they realized that is likely not to work, they are now claiming the once flourishing border in the north is all of a sudden locked up.

As a result, some imaginary business men are at the risk of losing billions of imaginary dollars

May God bless you. If Textile industry can boast of 3trillion in just one quarter what stops them from using such huge money to revive the textile industry.

Now i understand, after collecting bailout money from government, the same money was diverted into importation of textile materials.

Where is the sense of patriotism of Nigerian business men. They prefer to import good when they have resources to produce the good within Nigeria. Just like our politicians will steal Nigeria money only to transfer their stolen money abroad to boost such country at the expense of Nigeria

Beremx:
It is obvious you are a business man and business men like you know how this border thing is affecting you. All the ignorant people shouting border should remain closed do not have a single idea what people like you are going through.

there is a transport company in Lagos Island they are called I SWEAR by name, they load goods from Lagos Island down to Togo and others west African countries, goods such as beverages and others essential of life. I'm sure those traders and the company will be feeling the heat now, I hope buhari do the needful and see that it's not only rice that pass through our borders....

why do you think a generator is a standard part of the design for any factory
why do several FCMB factories opt for gas and no connection to the national grid?
why are alternative power solutions springing up?
because business must be done.

Blue3k:


Stop talking nonsense. What contraband did they import. Reread the article slowly. The textile mills are down because the business environment bad for it.

Voltron, defender of the smuggle's interests.. How do you connect what you regurgitated from your insipid medulla to the reality on ground. Going by your assertion at the bolded I can confidently state that the maturity and knowledge I once gave you on this platform was a waste. Tell me which of the listed textile mills was still operating by year 2003? Wasted knowledge

FCMB? What is dis one saying? Which generator is a standard part of a factory?
You dat you have worked in baker and Hughes it dey show for you body. Okpomoriorior

India's textile industry that employs 45 million people is worth 108 billion dollars annually.

UK textile industry is worth 9.1 billion pounds, employing about 100k people.

Some idiot wants us to believe 3 trillion Naira = 6 billion pounds worth of goods are at risk over 1 quarter in a year.

Who be the mumu?

You're acting dumb now. Instead of just saying what contraband they are importing you start rambling to next topic. Lol you do realize legitimate business happens at land borders. You president is opening then in January.

You're question is irrelevant to the point I made. The textile mills shut down because they weren't competitive. Smuggling is just one factor, along with power and material cost (cotton). Like most protectionist clowns you dont want ask why the textile mills cost were so high compared to asia. If these other factors were addressed the mills would have survived without so much government support.

Readily available raw materials like cotton, for the production of textiles had become a problem. Nigerian farmers were experiencing lower yields of cotton and could not access improved variants like the disease and pest-resistant, high yielding biotechnology cotton. Petrochemical products such as the dyes, polymer and other synthetic materials being produced in Nigeria, were also not readily available. Inadequate power supply had also become a problem, resulting in higher costs of producing Nigerian textiles as power supply accounts of 45 percent of the production costs.

so if I want to import from Mali or Niger where should I pass? Let me guess the Sea

No he wants you to move your goods via Air freight

netpro:
Some people like illegality. If you wish to continue in business, import your materials through the proper channels.

Are u daft or what? The whole border is short down, whether legal, or illegal, no wan dey pass through.

Buhari should just throw the key into the lagoon with this unpatriotic statement from these importers.

6 billion pound is enough to revive our textile industry but no, they prefer to turn the factories to warehouse for dumping imported goods
