this guy seem to dont understand how lucrative smugglin is to this smaller nations.... they practicaly produce nathing.... they import,take tax,but for them to send those items to nigerian customs for taxation too,they smuggle it into nigeria.... anybody that thinks this smaller nations have any interest to fight smugglin is a dreamer.... pan africana is a hoax.... |

We know you Oga Falana and l don't trust you. Go and sit down. A lot of items were being smuggled illegally apart from rice (fake vegetable oil, fake medications, tomato etc). It is in habit of the people to ship fake items from China to neighbouring country like Benin rep, Togo, Cameroon and Ghana and then move it in through our porus border. With this how do you expect investors to invest in this sector? Dangote that invested in tomato paste later close up because of smuggling at border. If the prices of item Jump up in December, the price will later come down after December. And l know in the next one year, a lot of rich will invest in this sector Osiomole as an activist did all those stuff and he used us as stepping stone. Oga Falana go and sit down. |

The madness of Falana has entered 4g. How can someone in his right state of mind say such a thing. Well, they are all feeding from Nigeria woes. If nigeria become good, some of this people will be poor more than anything. Idiot. Charge & bail lawyer. Can someone tell me any case that he won recently? No. He is only feeding on the smuggling biz. 1 Like |

wristbangle:Dude no man is an island on its own. Falana is right. Nigerian farmers can't feed a nation of 200million. We need to trade. Border closure is definitely not the way and its adverse effect in the long run can be disastrous for all countries involved. |

Nigeria is the biggest market for Africa. 1 in every 6 Africans is a nigerian. Every ECOWAS free trade agreement will always favour our neighbours more than us. Nigeria is barely able to produce enough of anything for our 200million population, talkless of exportation. Our major export is oil.....and these poor west african countries dont buy unrefined oil. So we dont need them too much in trade. We cant be playing the big brother while our economy and people continue to suffer. Thats fooloshness... How can anyone be crying for the struggles of benin traders and economy. Haba! Nigerians have been suffering in poverty for many years now. Lets cry about that first before thinking of ECOWAS |

crazygod: When hunger beats us wella ehn......we will all begin to farm...... Then suddenly there will be so much jobs. Ppl will be offering you 100k just to farm....and white collar shell n NNPC jobs will be looking for workers. Things may be hard now.....but trade isnt helping our economy.....for our economy to grow MONEY MUST COME INSIDE......and our trade with west africa only takes money outside. No purely consumer nation can grow economically If we must continue to buy and buy from west africa then we shoud kiss our economy good bye. It will only get worse |

NimrodEndOfDays: We dont care about an ecowas contract that destroys our economy and favours other countries. Infact lets dissolve that contract that enriches benin republic while Nigerians are crying of hardship and unemployment for many years. Which kain ECOWAS we dey do wey don make our neighbours open ATM for our head. Nigeria don turn MAGA. breach ke |

ridbell01: He is a pan African.....and his statements should be applauded by other west africans but not nigerians. But that truth will only continue to RUIN NIGERIA!!! A patrotic nigerian will not say that We havent been able to stop kidnapping and boko haram and one person just believes that we can stop smuggling if we dialogue. Haba! We are incompetent, we cant stop insecurity and smuggling....our health and education is in shambles. Yes we know. We have accepted our fate. But our economy and people should not continue to suffer for our incompetence. Let benin and niger and ghana suffer for our incompetence for a change |

karo93:Ecowas has nothing to do with the dearth of the Nigerian Economy. We destroyed it ourselves with vision-less myopic and useless leaders. |
Re: Femi Falana Asks FG To Re-open Nigerian Land Borders Immediately by karo93: 9:38am On Oct 25, 2019 |
NimrodEndOfDays: We are incompetent and myopic. YES! Maybe one day we will have good leaders. But right now the nigerian people should not continue to suffer for our incompetence alone. Lets share the burden with Benin Niger and Ghana. Nigeria is bad! Nigeria is bad! Nigerians are poor and suffering but ecowas is feeding fat and growing rich from trading in Nigeria. Because Nigeria is the biggest market in Africa. I think we should start making huge gains from our "market". |

This guys talking sense, unfortunately Nairaland is filled with people who refuse to think! Think about it, if someone wants to smuggle goods to Nigeria they will use one of two ways. Either they take it through they use the border and pay bribe to custom officials or they will use undesignated routes to bring goods to Nigeria. Neither of these two issues can be solve by solved by closing the border. Here's the thing that most African countries don't get, YOU CANNOT PRODUCE EVERYTHING!. This is something that Europeans learnt long time ago. Every EU country has a specialty (Germany - cars and machinery, Netherlands - dairy products, France - wine, cheese, fashion etc) They focus on what they're good at and over time they're about to become better and efficient at that. But in Africa no! Nigeria got the whiff that Benin is important rice, so the close their border to "punish". Now he's the thing, imagine Nigeria is able to produce more rice in the next few years, are they going to export it to Benin and other countries? What Nigeria should be doing is focus on doing what it's good at! |

karo93:dude. we have a group of people required to man these post. they are called the Nigerian CUSTOMS. no matter how you try to paint it, the direction or progress of this country has been articulated in the BUDGET. closing the border for a million years would not change a thing. we have loans that are still accumulating. if we actually have leaders, the first thing to do is a massive cut on the NASS. simple. Border Closure is just a crude way of making people feel that the government is working. i will not be hood winked. moreover what is the impact of these actions on the economy when you have half backed graduates and very poor infrastructure. it doesn't make sense when you starve the masses and still dont provide the basics and think God would miraculously create the environment. we have a vision less and directionless government that takes priority in doing the wrong things at the right time and the right things at the wrong time. The energy this government is using to catch rice smugglers would have been best utilized in funding education and infrastructure. but no, They are busy looking for people who hate them and calling everyone terrorist that oppose their views. |
