While I agree to a large extent with Moro's argument, I don't agree that 'hunger' or hike in prices of commodities should make Nigeria leave her borders open to all forms of trade.

Truly, "closing the borders is a temporary solution to a permanent problem."

These ones will never see anything good as long as it is from their country.
Pathetic.

Better change your views to life so that you can enjoy life.

You need your brain grilled. Which good thing? Since Nigeria is good to you like this, I pray your life to be like that of Nigeria and so shall it be

Oga this has ntn to do wif religion

Damsonkc:
Closing the borders is a temporary solution to a permanent problem. If the customs cannot man the borders, why are they still employed? The person saying that the closure has increased local production is a chronic liar. The border has only been closed for a few weeks, how many things have we produced since then. When Dangote commend the border closure, I kind of sensed that something was amiss. It has everything to do with protecting vested interests and not for the good of the common man. Equip the customs, re-open the borders. The officers should be trained on the dangers of taking bribes and smuggling and let the ECOWAS agreement stand. We can only grow better by doing business with our neighbors. The Nigerian government should instead pressure the neighboring countries to ban the importation of goods that can be produced locally. It should be step by step. We are the giants here!!

Quite an interesting submission! I agree with most of your points but that the closure of the borders "has everything to do with protecting vested interests and not for the good of the common man?" I don't agree.

We most all - both citizens and govt - stop looking at things from the 'eyes of today' only. We may have to suffer some negative impacts now, but with every other thing you said, we will have better results in the future.
