Why can't people play by the rules?

The most annoying thing about you guys is the "victim mentality" card you always play. Unfortunately for you, not many people are buying that stuff.

The report didn't mention the tribe of the owners of those goods, yet you have already concluded they're Igbos

Keep attacking dem, no be who launch first attack they win the fight.


They have not yet responded, wait until they start then the battle will be on, now u are fighting a war with people that have not declared war on you.


Note: They will not fight to keep oil but to gain independence. Dis time, their will be a winner and a loser.

Amazing job by NCS

Stop being paranoid!

No country attains greatness without majority of its people doing the right thing. Those trailers may as well belong to Hausa, Yoruba or Efik business men, I don't care. Only where there are no laws that there are no sanctions. Where there are laws and they get broken, the right thing is to apply the sanctions accordingly.

Is this the first time Customs is impounding contraband goods in Nigeria?... What has Buhari got to do with this?... Your hate for Buhari can only do one thing, it will swallow you and continue to make your life miserable even while God continues to bless the man.

If the Customs performing their duties more efficiently and effectively is what you attribute to Buhari, then it means Buhari is more of a blessing to Nigeria than every other president and may God bless the man a million folds.

Keep hating!

Coming back. That's if I no forget ooo

One more Stroke Patient to be admitted!

It happened some 12 days ago. Why are we just seeing it now?

I dont support destroying peoples means of feeding their kids and making ends meet. That is pure wickedness and stealing. Let us consideer those goods as somebody investment and money in trade, how do dey pay the bank if Buhari collect his goods for free?


Here is the one Ambode did earlier. All this on the back of a free fall economy is spelling doom for Nigeria. APC is clueless wen it comes to Economic policy and management, sentiment wont allow them make the right decision to sustain pre-existing market and industry whilst developing even more.


Nigeria is on a free fall Economy.

Buhari's Economic Policies disproportionately affecting Igbos? - Cramjones by cramjones: 4:23pm On Jan 07
Many people have been saying that Buhari means well with his economic policies including my humble self, however, haven discussed with many people and studying who are affected the most, I am convinced to say that whilst Buhari's economic policies affect all Nigerians, the group it affects the most in a disportionate manner are the Igbos. When you examine most of these policies you would think that Igbos are specifically being targeted on all fronts. Let us examine the facts one after the other.

1. According to Vanguard news today, it was stated that Buhari's government have moved Lagos clearing house for imports to Kano. We all know that almost half of Lagos are occupied by Igbos. Igbo business men around the country have their networks in Lagos, and all they have known for many years is clearing their goods in Lagos. Moving it to Kano only adds to their cost without a concomitant value. Does it affect all business men, including hausas? Yes of course, but we all know that at least 70% of imports in Nigeria are carried out by Igbo business men all over Nigeria. This is NOT a good policy in my opinion it creates bad blood for the average Igbo business man, and make life even tougher for them.

2. The dollar policy has also disproportionately affected Igbos. Most Igbos have had to close business, because they cannot even find the dollar to pay for their imported goods. Worse still businessess that have millions of USD turn over, are prevented by the banks to collect their money, with the bank claiming they do not have dollar. This essentially grinds businesses and further makes the economy slip into oblivion. Does this policy affect other non-Igbo importers? Ofcourse yes, but given that Igbos are the engine of all of our imports in Nigeria, we can safely say that they are disproportionately affected.

3. Two days ago the APC government of Ambode, who in my opinion has been a confused governor, unable to just keep up with what Fashola has done, ordered that Oshodi market be destroyed. This is one of the largest market places in Nigeria and West Africa. Is it a bad policy to destroy Oshodi market for developmental reasons? Absolutely not, depending on its intent. However, what is bad policy, is when you do not give any notice, no alternatives, and then destroy peoples business that took many years to build, throwing thousands off their employment, and making many more people jobless. This is barbaric to say the least. Which group of people dominate Oshodi market? Igbos ofcourse. By many accounts, Igbos make up 85 - 90% of the traders in Oshodi. Was it a way of telling the Igbos that they are not needed in Lagos? Who inspired Ambode to take such actions?


I won't go further than this, but one thing is clear, PMB would have to thread carefully, or else what he thinks he is trying to make better, would only make the country worse. We do not need another civil war, policies like this only make Nigeria more polarized and ungovernable.

God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Why can't you guys stop disgracing your tribe up and down? How did you know that it was an Igbo man that supplied the goods? This is really pitiful

Good work

Some people need there head examine before the comment, how would call Buhari name on this. Contraband is contraband no two ways about it, even the owners of the goods kws it but they just want to make quick cash. If they hv invested the same money on agriculture or something legitimate, nobody would hv sieze there goods.

What do u mean by you guys? You still do stereotyping at your age?
Address the post you want to address without generalizing.
Thank you.

How is this a contraband? B00hari y?

mORE REVENUES FOR THEM

oh

The tyres are probably to be recycled...If not, then to impound them is safe.

The soap should be ignored.

On another note, they should thoroughly search those seized goods, I'm very sure rephnol, codeine and the likes will be lounging in there...No be north
