Leadership is about example. If PMB will stay & show example of how to live in a border closed country. Then no Nigerian will complain. However after every hardship, there is a relief right after it. Till then

Eyah

This is the next level

yeah! and i am extremely happy about that let it remain close forever.

The borders should be closed until Buhari leaves office and the next president should sustain the policy until all our dead industries are revived and can compete with imported goods.

If Nigerians waka anyhow for Benin Republic now, OYO be the person case.

Buhari should never ever open that border again.

A welcome development. Although most people are feeling the heat now but if this is sustained for 2 years as opined, our economy will experience a dramatic positive turn around.

They should close it for 40 years.... useless citizens... So they have to close border for Nigerians leaving in Nigeria to buy our products. The big questions that should be ask is why? Do you think Nigerians hate made in Nigeria because it is made in Nigeria? The answer is no...we must address the root cause of the problem

Meanwhile, the impact of the border closure seems to be creeping in as workers at Nichem Textile Factory around Ogolonto area of Ikorodu, Lagos, told our reporter that they had resumed their shifts owing to increased patronage of the company’s products.

A worker said, “We were recalled recently because their inventory has gone down and we have continued to be busy in the last three months.”

The National Cotton Association of Nigeria (NACOTAN) said the border closure had not only curtailed importation of smuggled textile materials into Nigeria, but that it was reviving the Cotton, Textile and Garment (CTG) sub-sector.

In an interview with the President of NACOTAN, Mr. Anibe Achimugu, he said, “The reduction in the influx of textile materials into the country has boosted the morale of players in the sub-sector to get back to work.

^^^^The quoted above is so heart-warming

When there is lack of electricity, good roads and basic infrastructure that should accelerate production and distribution.

Be deceiving yourself that in 2 years economy will experience dramatic positive turn around with this senseless border closure.

When good quality rice is N9k, you pay subsidy to yr croonies to produce above N20K of a lesser quality that you can't even export due to price difference...& you still pay for fertilizer subsidy....
I see una sense

Even if you want to start massive rice production, all states shld have plantation & processing facilities b4 this nonsense

Senseless govt. Why don't you leave the edibles at least. People can't buy fish, rice, but yr cows still roam freely across the borders

I am very happy with the news I read about the closure, the boarder should remain closed. I eat the local rice yesterday n I must confess, the product is really good , I didn't feel a single stone in it.

One man nearly killed his chicken for wasting the left over rice he poured for chicken to it....




Next hunger.

Can an hungry man feed his chickens with rice?

Hungry people don't even own rice not to talk of chickens.

Parasitic neighbors of Nigeria.....let them feel the heat....

How

Some customs officers are smiling to the bank, you people are here decieving yourselves, even with the help of the NCS, NCS, NPF, NA, NA, NN they cannot covers our borders. The most annoying part is that the activities is still going on for the real smugglers, yet they refused to reduce the price as they are even making more profits now, while the people are seriously suffering...more efforts ought to have been done to increase productivities before border closure, because demand is far more than the supply and to me , there is more to the border closure than what the federal govt is telling Nigerians, no govt has ever been concern about the people but what they stand to gain, mostly as it affects the custom duties whereby the Benin Republic. has been benefitting hugely from it and you can only blame it on the federal govt for lacking modern technologies to check movement in the borders which are all available in most of our border nations.

Do we have youth in this so called country at all?

Please how do i creat a topic and post it on Nairaland? Somebody should put me through.

honestly and they are improving day by day on their products.

We won't die, I really love this..drastic measures has to be taken for any country to develop.It is just a matter of time we would be the envy of nations.Kudos to buhari government on this.

Nigeria has become a dumping ground for every nonsense. Imagine kpomo all the way from Mali. Tụfịakwa.

[quote author=nanakgh post=83843642][s]Another thread for 180 million people to masturbate on. Not some technological innovation, or some breakthrough in science but a mere border closure.

A situation that requires tact to fish out the main culprits and u simply make a decision that encompasses all, even the innocent. It's only in black Africa that this calls for celebration, especially if there's nothing else to celebrate. SMH.[[/s]/quote]

Jobless Nigerians researching on other country markets on whether they're doing good or bad, focus on your country problems and report them to enable them stand on their feet and work their ass out.

No sensible human being puts his family business outside.For every 10 reported negative news about America there is 100 more unreported. That's called country integrity. Even though they criticise their politicians but they love their country. Most of you Nigerians don't know this. You think you most abuse your country just to get to your politicians. The politicians care less about your country that's why they are stealing your money. Go fight them and let your country be.

He doesn't know the difference between "eat" and "it".

It's sad when ignorant people are confident in their illiteracy while intelligent people become timid.

Our reporter also came across several trailer loads of cow skin (kpomo) purportedly from Mali also rotting away and forcing the owners to rent warehouses to offload. Some others were seen drying the skin on the floor along the road to salvage some.

So we import kpomo too?

I hope when the border is eventually opened it would not be business as usual. Rice that is now 28k will not come down or probably come down to 16k which was what it was before the closure and all we would have achieved was to just punish ourselves.

As the borders have been closed what has been the measures taken to help sustain ourselves as a nation?

Useless govt, always doing the right things the wrong way and then complicating the already dire situation for ordinary citizens because of lack of clear cut assessment of the situation by incompetent people who lack capacity to think through a situation or scenario thoroughly.

Hope the only thing we will gain in all this is not the self bloated ego that when we closed our borders neighbouring countries were adversely affected.

Lazy youths will not readin the newspapers and see on television that Coacharis Group, Dangote Group, Stallion Group and several other multicompanies have started planting and processing rice in Nigeria

it was even pointed out in the article that foreign rice o is 11k somewhere around the border country. Check the gap between 11k and 26k. This is real punishment.
