These mummu people are not
even aware that we the citizens are
even suffering more than our neighbors.

They are determined for this closure
because na govt dey feed them. They
care less for the masses..

Buhari & Osinbade have all doubled
their feeding & travelling allowances in the
2O2O budget. So selfish


As usual, buhari is using hunger as a
tool of governance just like he did in 1984!!


If we want to make more money as
a country, why not stop fuel importation
which creates the waste called subsidy.

Why don't we ban medical tourism
& repair/ equip or specialist & teaching
hospitals?

They won't do that because it will affect
them directly, na only the one that
affects masses dem dey implement
with full force.


Emefiele is just acting as a 'yes man' to protect
himself & Zenith Bank.


Oga, I don't see why our borders should be opened without renewed commitment to enforce the rules.

How exactly are Nigerians suffering from closure of the borders?

What's ECOWAS protocol on movement of goods and services among member states? Should it be such that constitutes sabotage to a country's economy?

The rising demand will only result in one thing, price increase. With no parallel increase in income, the poor Nigerian will be poorer at the expense of the rich. Tighten your belts folks!


It may not necessarily result in price increase, especially when you consider competition. Don't forget that it is likely to encourage increased participation, investment and output, bearing in mind that the market is now better protected against competing foreign alternatives.

America is building wall to stop the flood of undocumented 'immigrants' who were pouring into the borders at a rate of over 10,000/ day!!

US threatened sanctions on Mexico that was givg them transit.

No country closes its borders to trade, what they do is discourage some imports by imposing high tariffs.

You cannot increase tariffs and inflict pain on legitimate importer just because of smugglers.
Nigeria have its official port, let the importer use that. Why should a cargo of rice coming to Nigeria pass through Benin?
Reason well before you condemed

Are you even aware that the closure
is two ways?

Nigerians cannot also export
to neighboring countries.

This border closure was also carried
out without putting measures in place
to prevent inflation & unnecessary
profiteering by our local producers as
we are witnessing.

How has the closure helped us ?

Why would I not have put that into account? Of course, it's two ways.

In matters of this nature, there's hardly a perfect timing, as individual and group interests are almost always overwhelming. In cases like this, collective national interest is what should be put first.

I can't believe you want to answer the question of how the borders closure has benefited Nigeria. Didn't you read what was written?

Inflation isn't going to be a significant concern as it would be managed by competition and other market parameters.

I MAKE BOLD TO STATE HERE THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE BORDER CLOSURE.

The border closure is a violation of the ECOWAS TREATY on free movement of goods and services across the west african region signed by Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Benin Republic and some other west african states.

The federal government should find out what is making our produce or products less competitive in the market and find solutions to it.

Why is the federal government starting what they can not finish.

What happen in 3 years time when the present leadership vacates the presidency?

Ecowas my foot......come up with a better reason.

As Nigerians our duty is to Nigeria and not ECOWAS. No one blames Ecowas when things are bad

No one blames Ecowas when things are bad? has Nigeria ever complained to ecowas? this is a trade issue, not some village meeting.

if as a country you feel that neighbors and unscrupulous people are smuggling goods into the nation, its the countries duty to let the body know.to find the best solution to solve it,

there are countries that are not aware of the development. it would be fair to let them know to give them a timeline to make necessary adjustments and also punish the defaulting counties to ensure the goals that bind all the nations together in trade come to reality,

You don't stiff trade in the guise of curbing smuggling, this is an issue suffered by nations across the world. no one is exempted. so you find ways that will create a balance.

Nigeria is creating so many enemies. if they put restrictions on your products do you know it will affect Nigeria and its position in the region? do you know there is a big vacuum of supply in trade in west Africa because Nigerians cant export to other nations via the land border? do you think the tasde routes will br waiting fo your whenever you feel like opening the borders?

Your points are valid under the assumption that nigeria actually exports anything....

Our exports are not much.....thats why the government is bold enough to do this. We are a consumer nation so closed borders hurts our neighbours much more than it will ever hurt us

Our natural resource is our population......one-sixth of Africa is in Nigeria.....its high time we started arm twisting n milking other nations with this gift.

We dont need to be fair or nice to our neighbours. We just need to make it big. America has bleeped up so many countries in the world left right centre and they are still respected.
