Ok, let's go get some

Yippee kai yay MF! Fp is hot.



First of all, Nigeria import over 60percent for local consumption. local production is only for a certain type, so realistically, the effect of this crash is poitive as it affects most Nigerians. There is no effect on the econony- don't go into assumption, understand the market first before you judge.

So basically, the severity of the import ban itself was ill-advised. Another showcase for how clueless this Jonathan Administration is.

Same way they are brainlessly trying to raise import duties on Tokunbo cars while the locally assembly plants cannot even meet demand for Aba alone, and the diversity in locally produced cars is minimal.

Bro, before spilling junk out of your mouth, stop and think. It will do you good.

Fish is not irrelevant-Nigerians eat it.

Secondly, PMS is already heavily subsidized, reduction in world oil price will reduce the amount paid as subsidy and not flow into the current price at the filling stations immediately except the subsidy is completely removed either by government or the world oil price.

The reduction of Fish prices is not what we were/ever/are clamoring for.. It was never even in the agenda.. Why leave the agenda and focus on things that are more attention demanding?!!!

Nigerians will pay more at a later date ,because of importation at the current exchange rate and hike in tariffs and possible uncertain events .

in a bid to sway vote, PDP are doing all they can. prepare to here news like

garri price reduce to help the poor masses.

more cows are brought from d north to down south to ensure cheap meat price

1000 (unseen) buses bought has palliatives to reduce transport problem hits abuja, Lagos and port etc etc etc



my advice, don't let ur resolve to vote out cluelessness be swayed by these lies.we can no longer be deceived. u can't do wuruwuru to the ans just few weeks to d elections. u can't start doing things u failed to do in six years now.

I'm happy I'm not the only one seeing this last minute white wash campaign by jonthan.
He couldn't do this in 6yrs but now...few weeks to election.
I'm sure nobody will feel the impact of the price slash till the election is over.

If he wants to be taken seriously, let him sllsh the price of fuel.
Fuel prices have been slashed globally.
What's stopping Nigeria from slashing its own?
CORRUPTION.

Another electioneering gimmick!.

It is not clear how they're reducing imported fish prices.

Are they introducing subsidy on fish imports too?
Even though GEJ's Gov't is broke and can't pay salaries for the past three months or can't even fund INEC with elections happening in February?

If fishing in Nigeria's coastal waters have been hampered by oil spillage, piracy and unsustainable fishing practices, what have they done about it.
This will discourage local fishing.

This sounds like another moment of renaming UNILAG to MAULAG! It is not sustainable.

All these are electoral strategy, the prices will all go up after the election. How about cement? FG should also reduced the price of cement, some states are now 2k plus per bag.

my friend, how did you fare in sec school econs? did you take the course at all? before you toggle the [submit] button, re -read your post and ask urself the question, does it make a sensible reading? Import quotas have absolutely nothing to do with paid cash or whatsoever subsidy. If govt increases import duty on tokunbo cars & the price goes up, does it mean they have removed subsidy?

This government came to power on a fresh air agenda telling us how we had no business importing fish
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/fg-policy-on-agric-to-boost-fisheries-sectors-dame-jonathan/

Nigeria’s first lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan has disclosed that the Agricultural Transformation Agenda of the government is re- repositioning both the marine and the fisheries sectors to boost the economy.

She made this known at the christening of a new 10.1 million Euro Research Vessel acquired by the Nigerian Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research in Gdansk, Poland on Wednesday.
The first lady explained that the focus of the ATA is to promote strategies for ensuring sustainable fish stocks through integrated fisheries management, while
promoting aquaculture and improving trade through established global best practices, in overall fisheries management.

Mrs. Jonathan noted that the acquisition of the vessel will boost Nigeria’s local fish supply and further drive the successful achievement of the policy of Mr. President to make Nigeria self-sufficient in fish production, in the near future.
“Nigeria is blessed with abundant aquatic resources with a coastline of 853 kilometers, also rich in fish and shrimps. Shrimp export is of great importance to the fisheries sub-sector in Nigeria.

Nigerian shrimps, considered one of the best in the world, generate foreign exchange worth over 65 million US$ annually.”
She added “The Niger Delta of Nigeria, reputed as the second largest salt-water habitat in the world, has shrimps that are the most highly valued resource after crude oil.
“I am reliably informed that Nigeria’s deep-sea waters also harbor Tuna and Tuna-like fishes, Drift Fish and large Lantern Fish populations.”

Mrs. Jonathan said the acquisition of the deep-sea fishing vessel named ‘RV Bayagbona’ after the first Executive Director of the Nigerian Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research, will no doubt enhance the exploration of the country’s fish resources.
“This deep-sea marine vessel, which we are here to commission today, is one of the many deep-sea vessels that Nigeria will acquire to fully tap into its abundant marine resources. I am pleased to note that this vessel will also boost Nigeria’s capacity in marine and oceanographic research for sustainable management of our vast deep-sea resources.”

Speaking at the commissioning, the Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, said Nigeria has no reason to import fish as the country’s capacity for producing fish is enormous, “so this vessel will allow us to go into the territorial water, deep sea to harvest a lot of resource we have.
Adesina said beyond taking advantage of the country’s fish resources which for a long time the foreign ships have taken advantage of, that the newly acquired vessel we also allow the country to carry out marine research.

“ this vessel we also allow us to do marine research that will enable us to understand the dynamic of the ocean, to understand the diversity of species we have, to be able to take a good stock of them and be able to have better ecological and environmental management of our marine resources.”
The Minister who decried the huge amount spent on fish importation yearly said the ministry is working assiduously at realizing its four year plan on fish sufficiency.
“We are spending roughly N127b importing fish and that does not make sense and what we have planned to do is to have four –five years plan.”

He noted that the first part of the plan is to produce one million metric tons of table size fish that will put the country at 70% self sufficient in fish.
“We can leave the remaining 30% for those who need diversity, but what we will not accept is for Nigeria to be totally dependent on imported fish when we have water all around us and we are not using them.”

Ishilove:

The Horse Mackerel and Blue Whiting are not found in Nigeria's water,hence the imports. The locally produced fish is predominantly catfish
but do you know fish found in Nigeria's waters are far more tastier than the imported ones? Nigerians are already used to kote,titus,panla and shawa.
Fish is very expensive that is why I have stopped buying it.
