talk of a lunatic....
I bet that u don't have anything doing in your life. have u ever ask ur self why we choose Cotonou port
Cotonou custom make sure that ur cars is cleared within 3days unlike in Nigeria where u have to wait for two weeks to clear unless u lobby.

Cotonou custom duties is twice lower than your stupid country custom duties with fast attendance....
before u type think

this is the very reason why there is high unemployment rate. the dundderheads have choked up and clogged up the system creating a highly chaotic and disorganised system. why are these guys not willing to make the ports run smoothly at affordable rate?

if the naija system is allowed to function smoothly unemployment will disappear.

babadee1:


Your bias is stinking. I don't support this particular decision but to blame Buhari for creating the recession is extremely dishonest and you know it or you should.
It's very easy to blame any govt you don't like for anything, but facts are still facts. The current recession in Nigeria started in the dying days of the previous administration.

My assumption that Buhari created the recessive was a bit of a stretch. Of course, he didn't meet a sound economy (Nigerian economy has been going downhill since Independence). But we can all agree that his incompetence and lack of genuine economic plans sped up the recession.

Where is the 80% of rice? I don't get this...I've been reading it but I don't see it. I just bought rice 20k a bag yesterday at Uyo... Where is this 6k per bag y'all be talking about?
Streamline the port charges...make the process more efficient by getting rid of all the useless custom charges and for God freakin sakes, let people be able to clear their cars on their own...without these blood sucking agents and custom cows! Do this first and then ban.
Most of you don't know that charges for duty on cars are not a constant here in Nigeria. Go to the ports first and try to clear a spoon then come back here and shout "good policy!"

am not against your view on how corrupt our custom officers are,and I believe Mr President is not folding his arms and be watching.... one of the measures he took is issuance of TSA, which u and I now can compare and contrast the amount custom used to remit to fed govt before and now, at least there's fear factor in custom now,not business as usual any longer.
if you ain't seeing the locally produced rice, sorry maybe cuz big men like u don't like so wouldn't care to check it out in the market but I bought and see it all over the market in Calabar, talking about the price now,that where the govt needs to come in,help to subsidize by funding farmers which u and I know CBN has been doing a lot concerning it...is better you buy naija produced rice @ 18k to grow 9ja than using that money to grow Asian economy

Naija rice is at most 14k for 50kg bag if you buy from the State of production. I recently established a processing plant in one Southeast State and the profit is worth it. We sell 6k for 25 and 12k for 50kg. I never used local rice from birth until this year and I guess there are millions of other Nigerians like me.

Kathmandu:
Can you kindly keep quiet. You applied for N-power 30k job and you know that you will need to save your two year salary without touching it before you can dream of doing window shopping for a toks car.


People like you with nothing to lose on this government obnoxious policies are the one drumming support for this government.

I won't mind paying you 35k per month to give up that N-power job so that your conscience will be free to condemn this atrocious govt.

Don't allow this N-power to be a Sword of Damocles over you.

Eph123 come and see what your friend typed

what a shame to our youths,
So you can bribe someone conscience just to insult your president that is making everything possible for your unborn children not to suffer what your ineffectual buffoon and the useless pdp put you through.
Again if you think you small change of money to buy someone conscience, why will you import through land border
Is that done in advance nations?

Hope we won't wake up one day and discover that our source of income is banned. The notice is very short for dealers. At least 3months notice should suffice. What happened to vehicles that just left their shores to Cotonou?

Jesus Christ

All he needed to do was ensure the adequate duties are paid and end up in the govt purse.

Anyways, this will surely shore up the country's revenue base and attract more jobs at our ports.
Nice move if you ask me.
E don be for Cotonou ports and Benin republic economy be that o.

You are very correct. Its a nice move.
Seriously, I have been eating the local rice for sometime now and surprisingly I'm even getting used to it already. Meanwhile there is still room for improvement.

chiscodedon:

streamline the seaports,lemme know how that would be done sir...
also you won't control or command your economy is that what u trying to tell me?
let me tell u now, China as a country shut down there boarder for number of years I can't categorically state now from importation be it toothpick, food both by land and sea, citizens clamored, they strategize building a new China, many suffered, but today what can u say about China sir?
before now could u believe that Nigeria can provide 80% rice that can feed the nation? all heads were bent on imported Asian rice which I know big men like u can't remember when they ate local rice last then,but now farmers are having hope,there's happiness in going to farm. we must make Nigeria great again

Kindly read Chinese economic history well sir. This method you mentioned never worked while Chairman Mao was the leader.

Read up on how Deng Xioaping and his successor turned around Chinese economy. You'll find out that they did opposite of what Buhari is doing.

Oga please open your eyes and see the harm that's being done done to our economy as a result of incompetence.

Cotonu don cast

wite111:
The clueless one again!One day we will just wake up and hear that Buhari has banned access to life.Don't worry,it is going round.Men wet dey survive through that way go see the effect of recession now.After all many of them voted for him ignorantly.Let them face it!

Are you guys daft? We are shouting buy 9ja to grow the naira,


What happen to buy your cars in Nigeria to grow the economy? So you prefer to grow another country economy by buying same car you can buy in Nigeria?

Hatred no go make so many people see good move.

IykeChukz:
Nigerians, let's continue to manage till 2019.

God knows we had not committed any crime against Buhari and his family.

Indeed, we'll have patience till 2019...unless otherwise!

So how is dis a bad move? What happen to buying your cars in Nigeria? go to Apapa you go see imported tokunbo cars there...


I base in Cotonou and am into car business but i'll just be thinking of moving back home.

thesicilian:
Even those who don't have money to buy cars are reacting

LOLZ no mind them.

angeltolly:
Again I say This is how Nigerians will be waiting for Buhari in 2019

See there head like benenuious

olaric:
The most cruel president ever in the history of Nigeria. He is a military dictator in civilian robe. See what we have brought upon ourselves.

How's buying cars in Benin beneficial to Nigeria?


I need an answer please?


Will buying cars in Benin affect out economy?

otukpo:
So Buhari is still banning. When we have not recovered from the ones he banned.

How is banning buying of cars from Benin affect Nigeria Economy? Dint we have our own seaports?

Abagworo:


The idea is to encourage local manufacturers which is good. Aren't you happy with the rice revolution? I am.

No mind them oooo, But the funny thing is that most of them don't have money to buy tyre.

The government of the day should think of the effects of this ban of cars on the citizenry.

Sharap there.

Better ask the mama put near you the cost of local rice.

"Cost of local rice" is the cost the product reaches the final consumer.

Labana is N19000
Ebony Super (local rice) is N19000
Ebony Gold (long grain) is N23000

Come to Ekeukwu and do the pricing yourself.

Political sycophancy is a curse.

signz:
Is it not against ECOWAS trade protocol?

Its a shame if this story is true.

Why can't he just make our ports competitive instead of trying to ban importation of cars through our land borders?

It won't work. Itll only make Customs officers richer

God bless you for this comment. Your head dey there my brother! Customs officers will bless the day Buhari took over as Head of State. I swear! That man and his team are a bunch of misfits!

Are Nigeria economy benefiting anything from buying cars from Cotonou?


Let them also start coming down to buy cars in Nigeria, We have seaport more than them.

iluvdonjazzy:
Dear LORD what have we done to deserve this kind of wickedNess, we voted for positive change but all we are getting now is the direct opposite, God u did it in the days of king nebokadnezzer Lord u can do it again.

Now i begin to notice the enemy of the nation, Those that does not want Nigeria economy to revive.

Mcowubaba:
Buhari plan is to kill Nigerians with hardship, useless policies and services. We told them, but the said we are haters.

Enjoy till 2019, probably till 2023
By that time Nigerians will be very fit and slim, no money for fuel, transportation and food

Buhari wants Nigerians to be like him, like a sickle cell survivor........ Nigeria is doomed...
If you see way enter Mediterranean sea go Europe o, better to drown than than die of poverty

LOL tell me how many develop countries are importing cars from land boarders?

How do you go your economy when you go buy what you can buy from your country from another country?

optional1:
Buhari i dy respect you before say u be presido but now you nedd Hot Dirty Slap..

Why? Your Father is selling cars in Cotonou?

On each car buy from Cotonou how much dey enter your account inside?

Spending the money in our economy to grow the economy when the money is circulating or takeing the money to another country which one is best?

mrvitalis:
I really don't get what is people's problem with this

Did he ban car importation? No

If u are genuine businessman this will not affect u in anyway.. so u prefer revenue that's supposed to go to Nigeria to continue to go to other countries?? I actually don't understand Nigeria

please, enlighten me on the nonsense your are spewing... so in all your wisdom, you have no idea that there are custom officers collecting import duty at land boarders?

vivaciousvivi:
Prices of already cleared Tokunbo vehicles will skyrocket. This will also affect the demand for Nigerian used and hence, that will sky rocket too. Dunno anyone personally who still buys new cars with dollar price right now. Checked the price of 2016 Toyota Corolla...Omo, I gats to run away!

Are you expecting to be cheap? Anyway cars are very cheap oversea it is the import duties that makes them expensive .

bashydemy:

i think, after going through this thread... i believe you are among the top 5 stupidest people on here! unbelievable! you have no iota of an idea how your economy works! shameful!

Did you ask yourself why cars are cheaper in cotonou and cars from nigerian seaports are almost twice the original cost? There is an assignment for you to tackle and gain some basic knowledge!
