Border Closure: Customs Intercepts Rice Smugglers In A Bush (Photos) by Correctgist(f): 5:03pm On Oct 22, 2019
The strike force team of Zone A of the Nigerian Custom, few days ago, intercepted more rice smugglers with their bikes in a bush.

Following the developments, Nigerians are now smuggling the commodity through bush paths across several border towns.

Despite the risk of getting shot by the operatives and endangerment to wildlife, the smugglers still carry out the act.

In some videos and photos that we've been furnished with, several bags of intercepted rice were heaped and bikes scattered everywhere waiting to be moved to the custom's base.

Earlier today, there were reports by several tabloids of lopsidedness across Nigerian borders, which the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) dismissed the observation, calling for either a photograph or video evidence to prove the allegation.

To smuggled from Benin to Idi iroko is not that hard but the problem is how to transport from Idiroko-Sango .. No shortcut after Idiroko.. Na one way

Even before border closures, security checks on that roads are more than 20.. Wondering how many checks now

As much as I applaud the policy of curbing imports of goods which can be produced locally, it's illogical if on the other hand local infant industries are not encouraged to grow, with subsidies and an enabling environment.
Factors like lack of stable power, bad road networks, double-digit interest credit facility for farmers from commercial banks and stifling taxation from the government, increase cost of production of locally produced rice. Not to talk of farmer-herdsmen crises.
At the end of the day, consumers will pay higher costs for the locally manufactured goods, with no access to foreign alternatives and the competitive pricing, which imported rice would've permitted.

But what do I know?

Well, what I do know is, if you want a private IELTS tutor in Lagos, with a comparatively guaranteed one-time success at the exam, send a mail to editus dot ng at gmail dot com, and let's talk.

All these is as a result of the incompetence of the custom system and Nigerian government as a whole. Let the people pay their duty and open the border for goods to come in

Good one on this border closure by the FG.

At the end of it all, SANE Nigerians will win this battle.

A drastic change requires a drastic solution.

God bless Nigeria.
