The thing is we're used to taking the easy way out. The border closure might be hard on us now, but we'll be the better for it . 1 Like |

From being forced to settle for low quality staple food, to increase in the general price level, the average Nigerian pays the price for the federal government’s border closure policy. Which kin rubbish statement is this? How are our products low quality? Is it the expired and plastic rice or the embalmed chicken and turkey that we import that is better than our local products? State facts and leave sentiments. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Rafiq2: you think NIGERIA will be self sufficient in rice in one year? hahaha judging by the calibre of people here I'm not surprised by your comment Demand destruction at best is what we will achieve with this closed border policy which is good But to what extent can we really destroy demand for Thai rice let's see |

TheMainone: I don't know why Nigerians can't read between lines. So you think the borders was closed because of you? It was closed for his people in rice farming to make more money period. If they are really interested in you, they should stop importation of refined fuel which is taking much of our money. They should ban importation of keke which can be produced locally. Even cooking stoves are imported. Are we not ashamed? |

TheSaxophonist:Simple but ultimate truth . Nigeria is not sufficient in food production. the rising population growth is a serious stopping block for any goverment intervention. no matter what buhari will do in regards of food production. Nigeria will not be sufficient becuse the pace at which the population grow far at overweight any intervention program . the ultimate goal is to reduce the population growth for a given perioud of years in which the country can produce enough to feed itself. this is not the first attempt to arrest this situation, when operation feed the nation was first introduced ( the aim was to reduce Nigeria importation and increase Nigeria local food production ) but unfortunately, the pace at which the population grew frustrated the policy and Nigeria rose again to become one of the leading food import. Nigeria need to work on her demographic to enable her gain the reward ( population control is the key). I do not support the closure of the border. it is very stupid policy in 21 century when Nigeria can used her bigger economy to turn benin and Niger to next 37 and 38 state indirectly by using them as a transit hub for its local product. ( today, no single nation grow all the food she consumed not even America or China). open the border and implement tougher policy for the importers. empower the custom service with logistics and technology to monitor effective border patrolling .... . pirated and substandard phones (China phones as it is called) is even more dangerous than foreign rice importation. why is buhari goverment silent about it. 2 Likes |

Rafiq2: If the border remained closed for 365 days maximum... You will hear that one big man from Katsina/Kano linked to PMB is now going into local production of rice.... The BigMan will start importing foreign rice and repackaging it as local.. Closing the border is not the solution to self sufficiency... Make the cost of production of rice low by fixing the bottlenecks along the value chain is the solution... Importing rice will die a natural death.... 1 Like 1 Share |

I personally what to Know the appropriate time to correct this importation of foreign goods into the country in which with clear indication we are absolutely able and capable to produce with/without government interventions. No time is favourable to close the border because people must complain. Some people like complaining in everything either good or bad policies. |

adioolayi:Just observe this comment very well, then answer my questions. Does this sound like a poverty alleviation motive or poverty increasing motive? Does this sound like a live and let live sentiment or a compulsion sentiment? Those this sound like wicked or a compassionate comment? This is the general sentiment I have heard in support of border closure. |

Willie2015: Did you knew in the past Nigeria produces it's own textiles, shoes etc & meet over 80% of the countries demand while also providing employment. But all these change due to some unpatriotic greedy fuvks that decided to start importing cheaper & less qualitative versions of those products through land borders. as those where cheaper, demand for our own product kept decreasing till d factories shut down!. in the past we had trains running almost throughout the country transporting food, fruit, , meat, people, military etc throughout d country. We even have our own aircarier Sometimes you just need to look a bit of documentaries about Nigeria of d past & you will shade tears. That's when you will figure out NIGERIA IS SERIOUSLY REGRESSING & NOT PROGRESSING AT ALL. We need to get sense & fix our damn country, nobody will do it for us, nobody but us 1 Like |

Border closure is our best belt to have a good economy and be food self sufficient. The increase in food prices we are experiencing right now is a short while sacrifice that will make us proud in front of our children tomorrow. Shalom 1 Like |

neoclassical: Import substitution policies are generally bad. Export led production is better. That was the main focus of the Asian tigers. Hong Kong was once a manufacturing hub despite having virtually no import duty on goods. There's no VAT sef. Nigeria should borrow a leaf from China. Build Special Economic Zones with all infrastructure in place with necessary tax incentives. This can be built in every state with a coast line and a port. Then government goes all out to woo foreign investment and you'll be shocked at the result 1 Like |

TheSaxophonist:I wholly agree with the author's submission, what i just think is whoever that finds hi or herself to contribute positively to Nigeria's situation shouldnt hesitate to do so, even Buhari himself and u and I. The war we are are facing here is more than what someone can just sit down and analyse on a social media or computer, we need to rebirth ourselves and murder corruption in our society. This is the time for us to actualise the Bill that says 'any corrupt public office holder should be killed'. This bill is the ONLY solution we have left as a resort and its implementation.
