Absolutely spot on!!bro the problem that i see here is that even if we try to ban we make no move to increase production,the last govt tried a bit in agriculture a bit but so far we haven't seen any.. These Governors are the same people that would plot against the C in C if he doesn't dance to their tune irrespective of party affiliation. That is the sorry state that we have found ourselves.. It's a pity. We politicize virtually everything..

if you go through some previous quotes about 2 weeks back you'll see a debate I had about this.
economics trumps politics everyday
everyone worship at the altar of money

It's really a pity.

BTW, increase in local production is the need-to-do; not necessarily bans.

'Most' imports are due to lack of enough local production.

Then the goverment needs to work on education/propaganda (whichever works) of the need to purchase our own.

For example, why buy imported-carcinogenic-chemicals-preserved-frozen chicken/turkey in lieu of fresh ones from our own farms?

Well the truth is the reverse is the case in Nigeria,Politics trumps Economics that's why we are backwards...

mikolo80:
not if we have a leader with the gumption to follow through his vision
my fear is buhari has no vision Just gumption

Now you have completely spoken my mind!! God would help us!!

mikolo80:
well at least pdp is out.
and Jonadisaster
hopefully his ministers and agency heads Will compete among themselves for his favor/future office

The truth is i have to say this irrespective of who gets angry that there just isn't any difference between now and then that's just it...

mikolo80:
yes these is
Jonathan is gone forever
pdp is gone for 4 years hopefully more
competition is what will force service out of politicians
democracy is a very slow system of govt
but it's steady as long as there is enough 'supply 'to meet the 'demand '
hopefully baba gives us at least 5 GW
next president apc pdp or New pdp is forced to up their game
there's no going back, only forward however slow
better than the gear 5 reverse free fall that pdp was taking us

Now i understand and that's continuity picking up from where your predecessor left right? Isn't that what you meant?

mikolo80:
precisely, Just hope he comes this corruption wild goose chase,
it will come to naught without dictatorship fiat

I am afraid he might not do much there
