Just30:China makes up 28% of Nigerias imports.... Most of it is machines, metals and textiles that Nigeria doesn't produce...... So ofcourse it going to effect Nigerian production and thus in turn effect the Nigerian economy. Also why will export and inport trade(or lack there of) effect only the Chinese economy and not its biggest importers..... You are literally contradicting your self: Just30: 1 Like |

jln115:because most of it importers already have substitutes for the things they import. A delay in the supply of machinery only delays a project which is yet to come on stream. |

Mzal3ndo:Just because you don't know about the SANDF aid mission in Mozambique, Lesotho, DRC and Malawi not to mention the aid missions outside SADC in Burundi, S. Sudan and CAR doesn't mean it didn't happen. The South African military is far more involved in non UN sanctioned aid missions across SADC than Tanzania is. Thirdly South Africa is in the top 5 import Nations of every SADC country.... Not even 1 SADC country is in South Africas top 5 countries it imports from. Also South Africa is a major contributer to all SADC country FDIs.... On the flip side SADC country make up very little of South Africas FDI. And Swahili is only used because it has the most mutual intelligibility with other Souther African languages.... That's the only reason 1 Like |

Just30:If they did then they wouldn't import it in the first place!! Secondly its not just machinery, its also metals and textiles used in production |

jln115:have you heard convenience and price advantage before? Nigeria makes a lot of metals and textiles The importation is just a means to kill local production by flooding the market with cheaper ones 1 Like 1 Share |

Just30:have you ever heard of import tariffs and shipping costs? Yes I agree some imports are cheaper but most aren't and are imported due to either that it's not produced in said country and/or local supply can't meet local demand. Nigeria imports metals and textiles because they don't produce enough of them as simple as that. If they did import simply to kill local production as you said then not only is that fvcked up but its economical suicide!! |

samorobo: The nearer view is not CBD that's a market, and it's much more organised than the in Lagos.... Actually, in Lagos someone will confused where exactly is the market, the place is so chaotic and disorganized.... I can share the pics of Lagos about that 1 Like |

jln115:actually, Nigeria produce enough textiles way above demand but texiles from China and India are cheaper. hence importation same goes for metals yes IT IS ECONOMIC SUicide when your own citizens seek to kill local production. This is one of the reasons why textile importation was banned in Nigeria 1 Like 1 Share |

mtisTheQubit:so now manufacturing is reinventing the wheel ? smh African economies were set up to serve their European colonial powers and this hasn't changed. but at least some are breaking those hard to be broken chains and are gaining momuntum. And Kenya is a worse performing country in manufacturing |

Just30:Think logically for a second please!!! Why would anybody produce textiles in the first place, if it was cheaper for everybody to import it from China?? If Nigeria produced enough textiles then they wouldnt import it, if indeed textiles are cheaper to import then nobody would produce it, It is impossible for Nigeria to locally produce enough textiles that meets(or as you say exceeds) demand yet then to import even more textiles from China because its cheaper..... What you are saying is economically(and mathematically) impossible, Same goes for metals And how would citizens kill local production? No sane person is going to buy the same product for twice the price just because its produced in their own country... It's up to government to ensure that local production is cheap enough(through government support, infastructure and other policies) as well as ensuring that import products from countries like China are tariffed as to ensure fairness within the markets |
