Do you revoke one's citizenship after 53 years?? St. Louis has become a citizen, not just a sugar cube. |

tomdon: Very well! Do you? The real Saint Louis sugar is no longer in Nigerian market as the only company with license to import it has stopped bringing it in. This gave opportunity to those who smuggles in adulterated Saint Louis brand of sugar. Do you understand now? Am an entry level manager where I work and you insult my comprehension ability? Isn't it too early for that? |

Instead of primitive outright banning, why not impose very high tariffs? Outright ban leads to smuggling and loss of revenue to the government unlike excessive tariffs. Outright ban also provokes retaliation from the exporting countries. Prohibitively high tariffs are more difficult to retaliate, which is what China has done to grow its economy. |

Just make it an offence for supermarkets to stock it, punishable by seizure and a fine of N1000 for every packet. That will stop it Pronto!! If there's no demand, then there won't be supply. |

mfm04622: The fact that it is smuggled does not mean that it is automatically fake, adulterated or counterfeit. Rice, vegetable oil, vehicles etc are smuggled into our country. Does that mean that they are all fake, adulterated and counterfeit? 3 Likes |

COMPAQ: That is the same as checking your vehicle's import duties when you are driving. It reflects an inefficient system that adds to the existing stress of living in our country. The checks, seizures and confiscation should be done at the land, sea and air borders. |

Heromaniaa:. You are very correct, it amazes me, why dangote has a monopoly on something like sugar. Ordinary sugar....It's not like it's a software or some kind of Patented Technology. To have a monopoly on sugar in the 21st century, in a country of 170million you have to be pulling some kind of "political strings". Which is not helpful to the country at large. |

OddBall: Dangote is Hausa/Fulani. They own Nigeria. They own the Niger Delta oil also. That is why the Igbos begged them for Nigeria's unity and the Yorubas work under them. Dangote gets subsidised foreign exchange while other businesses suffer and perish from high rates. That is how our country rolls while Igbos and Yoruba people fight over whose tribe is the worst, Hausa/Fulanis are expanding their ownership of our country. Who is wise? Who is foolish? 2 Likes |
Re: St. Louis, Other Foreign Packaged Sugar Brands Remains Banned In Nigeria – FG by seguno2: 8:24am On Jun 16, 2017 |
EzeeYFB: That won't happen. Because Dangote is a special breed of Nigerians. He is protected with all the favours from the federal government. Did El-Rufai not pay Boko Haram terrorists masquerading as Fulani herdsmen to reduce their killing of innocent farmers? Other manufacturers from the 5% parts of the country can suffer and languish, the owners of our country are not bothered. 1 Like |

abbeyty: I don't think there's any made-in-Nigeria sugar. They import the sugar in bulk and repack them in small retail packages. The local investors should be encouraged to go a step further by also producing the sugar locally as Nigeria used to do before. In any case, I am usually against outright banning of imports. The government should instead increase the tariff to discourage importation and encourage local production. |

Heromaniaa:For now, Dangote has monopoly simply because he is the only person investing heavily in that industry. Other rich Nigerians would rather put their funds abroad or under their "pillows". Nigeria's market is large for anyone who wants to invest especially in Fast moving commodities |

Patrique90: I read and understand his post clearly. Yes, sugar branded as St. Louis is still in the market, but am telling you most are not the real St. Louis sugar. I never said you won't get sugar branded like that, I said it wasn't the real thing! I never commented about the quality of local sugar. So, the fact that it taste right, dissolves in time mean it is original? You know when lower quality rice is rebaged with bags if higher quality brand? Does it mean the rice won't taste right? Does it make it the same with the higher quality brand you thought you paid for? |

St Louis the best sugar so far. Dangote's sugar will never dissolve after 15mins inside water.. |
Re: St. Louis, Other Foreign Packaged Sugar Brands Remains Banned In Nigeria – FG by mfm04622: 9:22am On Jun 16, 2017 |
seguno2: Very true! I see it like this. In case of HIGH quality goods, if a crime is committed while bringing the goods to Market, how am I sure others crimes are not committed on the way! Do you known what it takes companies to ensure their products are not counterfeited? Lots of man-hours and money. That brand is not being protected like that again. If you know how high counterfeiting efforts are in this country, you won't argue. Any popular brand is counterfeited. So why would smugglers buy high quality products when they can make more money smuggling in others brands, repackaging and selling it as St. Louis? Even before the ban, fake St Louis are in market! |

What I've come to discover is that our problem is not in enacting laws but in successful implementation and enforcement. If we truly do not want to import certain products, which we can produce locally, into the country, then there should be serious sanctions to deter defaulters without prejudice. If you find banned products on any big or small retail outlet shelves, confiscate all the products and handsomely fine the defaulting business. Further deliberate defaulting should attract legal prosecution. Until we have such punitive measures on ground, we aren't yet serious as a nation to join the league of industrial nations. |
