I'm part of those exporting and earning over $1000. Which I'm sure is not being documented. On the other hand, there is nothing new in this report, Igbos have been exporting goods all over Subsaharan Africa using Onitsha, Lagos, Nnewi and Aba as launchpads.

One day i was in Aba,one man came and collected bales of sewed shirts[short-sleeve],complete with his personal branding inside the collar oooo,he was packaging them country by country..Cote D`Ivoire, Ghana,even as far as Congo etc..i looked around and i saw that many other tailors were sowing and packing similar shirts in bundles....i think this estimate is wrong,it is more than that.

I somehow concur cos myself I know how much I do use to send parcels to UK , that's just me alone o

You send to UK as in you export goods there as a business or you just send to relatives who are based there?

Since it’s unofficial how den did he know it’s 40billion ??

They should just leave the informal sector alone and some how indirectly make policies to help them export more because I know the the formal sector has been brutalized since this government came in that most business have gone to Ghana and now they want to touch the informal sector .
Please just leave them alone as it is obvious they do better without you

Sure, anyone familiar with Aba knows all that. Areas like Bakassi in Ariaria is where you will see hundreds of bales of items like shoes, belts, bags and other leather materials and consumer goods being packed for export to different countries. Places like Kent off Azikiwe and Asa roads in town area of Aba is where you will see all sorts of clothes like shirts, boxers, singlets, overall, uniforms, bedspreads, suits etc being sown by thousands of people and being packed as well for delivery to different parts of the country and export. Aba is just like a small China where almost everything is being produced. I was in one shop when the owner and his workers were branding newly sown blue shirts with the name of a Nigerian bank being crested on them. What marveled me most was how local the shop was yet was producing such neat and beautiful shirts. Aba captures how worthless Nigeria is and why it would be very difficult for this country to ever develop. A responsible government would have provided an enabling environment for this hardworking and skilled producers yet the place is not even in the least conducive with thousands of small generators polluting everywhere with noise and dangerous fumes. Bad roads, filthy environment and flooding whenever it rains! Can any government be more wicked and insensitive than this? Yet one idiotic bastard is somewhere calling youths lazy! The mentality of the average Aba man is not different from that of Shanghai man but the difference is the respective government of both countries

oh cool bro. I have been researching that niche/business for some time now. How do you send the food stuff? Do you give to someone going there or you use shipping companies like DHL, UPS or FEDEX?

What i saw there was machine-a combination of men,sewing machines and generators producing money...is Nigeria cursed? I am happy that the Governor and Abaribe are scratching the surface but i tell you if the environment for production and business is enhanced...those guys will stand toe-to-toe with China, Vietnam,Thailand,Lesotho...the whole place was buzzing. Chineke mee ebere...Biafra my Biafra...it is well...

I wish that the governor will put more resources into Aba, at least IGR should increase too
Aba is a diamond mine.

Ofcourse they do, you can easily get the producers around Bakassi area of Ariaria.

Which one is unofficially exporting . This particular government sha. If you had said unofficially importing though our land boarders. I will agree with you. Lies

This thing cannot be correct ,the figure will be more but since we don’t support evil we will keep Mum.


Yahoo boys sells services ( their time and entertainment) to foreigners and they get paid in dollars.


Like it or not, that’s export

$40b is nothing compared to what is going out of the Country daily without due process. I am involved in the solid minerals sector, especially the gemstone sub sector. I know what is happening there and I weep for the Country.

One of the reasons is because many Nigerians are not aware that it is very easy to obtain Export License. Some foreigners are economic saboteurs and Government agencies responsible to checkmate that have all gone for holidays. However, the real culprit is the Nigerian

Customs. They don't do their jobs at the boarders. They are only good at terrorizing people inside the Country. See the post on the link bellow on how you can easily obtain your Export License in 24 - 72 hours: https://www.nairaland.com/4361802/how-get-export-license-nigeria

If you have a limited liability company and want to export do u still need an export license?

Blame your governors first, before the top. They are all culprits.
