Its a generational curse to be smuggling second hand clothes. If this is the quality of argument for opening the border, let it be closed for ever.
I see the nonsense everyday. Market women wearing night club wear to their stall every day. What nonsense

It's only a fool that will believe such a story, it would have been believable if the writer states that 98 firms shut down due to border closure

How can 98 firm relocate within a month, relocation a company will take more than 6 month. They have to get a land and get approval before building.

The writer should name just 6 companies for us to believe his story.

Like the American will say " I was born in the night is not last night".

President Buhari should not change his mind on this. Let the border remain closed.
These thieves who have been short changing the country will pay the media to write all sort of false stories.

Advancedman:

Pls get education

please explain. Nigerchin, stroex tank, eleganza are some of the few companies who have customers in all the west Africa.

North Korean exports to China were nearly $3 billion, with imports of about $3.6 billion... Wat difference does dat make. We all know NK border is closed to the rest of the world. My point is a country cant survive alone, u cant have it all. When d local industries produce cheaper and quality goods, importation will reduce naturally. U cant kill d local industries with taxes and no enabling environment and still close border.

Jimi24:

Lies.
N Korean border is wide open to China an economy of 1.5 billion people and they are still poor.

Its peoples business. I don't wear used clothes. Its just a thesis. Simply means there are businesses dying as a result of a misclavulated and I'll researched economic experiment

Yes nah - because of 98 nameless firms we should open Nigeria up for them to be dumping anyhow products and costing our own people jobs ! Those companies should go and NEVER come back !

niyisky:
You people will just sit in a corner and fabricate lies, just to discredit the government. Hate! I guess...98 firms without names, industry sectors etc...is easy to just relocate a business like that?

Haters, I hail una!

I honestly think CBN gave government-backed loans to rice farmers and suddenly, farmers must have been defaulting on repayment and they realised there is a significant possibility of huge bad loans.

Farmers excuse must have been that Nigerians don't buy local rice and CBN plus govt must have gambled with the idea of closing the boarders to create artificial scarcity of rice and super profit for rice farmers to enable them to repay the non performing loans.

This is an assumption; you are on your own if you believe it.

Thegoodone13:
You mean there is no buyer for their product in Nigeria. What are they producing? Smuggler spotted.

Lol. The population of the whole of ECOWAS is 390million and Nigeria holds 200million of the population which is more than half....

Those cooked up firms are definitely smugglers assuming they even existed.

Lies, how can a serious manufacturer relocate from the major market to a small country without market just because of border closure? When the company can actually continue to export to those small markets by airport or sea port. Story doesn't make sense.

Asquare84:


dont mind them did the border closure include export from nigerian

yea it does

Sanctions and trade restrictions have further hurt the country's economic prospects. What is known is that per capita income and GDP tend to be among the lowest in the world.

You're right. But Nigeria is only adding salt to injury as it is. The border closure should have come with some palliative measures to cushion the impact of such action. The prices of our local rice etc have skyrocketed. The common man is not finding it funny at all.

must you eat rice? what of yam, beans, garri, spaghetti, fufu, elubo, semo, moin moin, akara border dey disturb those ones?

Try an be patriotic for once and see what happens

Dunlop has done so before

Even Beverage producing companies. Aka Nestle had moved big operations to Ghana in preference to Nigeria before now

These economics is too complex for them to understand. Ask them about the 10,000 petty traders who go to other countries to buy wears, they won't provide you with good answers/explanations

We can't cave in to blackmail. They should give us the names of the imaginary companies, what they r producing and its quantity that exceeds the demand of close to 200million pple cos I don't know we av been exporting goods since. Awon werey

So if u own ur industry in Lagos u d prefer to transport ur goods to Kano via air when the road is far cheaper. Better u move to Kano where u can reach a greater customer or location at a lower cost. Plus the cost of production will be cheaper in there. Industries are profit oriented, so if policy is endangering their market nothing stop them from relocating.

helinues:


But why should you be worried about Nigeria problems when you are not affected.

When you are saying the truth, you do not have to struggle to remember your own words.

You are just dishing different lies daily on NL

Fake you

So you think I am self centred like you ..No society works when there is so much suffering around , you think I am happy that I can't just wake up and drive from here to Onitsha without the fear of of being kidnapped , do you know that first 3 years of Buhari two busineses I grew with my sweat and God's grace got destroyed by bad policies of the Buhari govt ..I should have been living far better than how I am living now if not for this Buhari govt that is bent on wrecking the economy like he did in the 80s .. No legit business man has grown under Buhari , even Dangote is now a single digits Billionaire from 25 billion dollars under Jonathan .

Maybe you were in a hurry to respond and you didn't notice where I said RICE ETC. Read again. By the way, are the prices of the food items you listed still the same?

Whatever story they wish to tell, all I know is that baba has 3 more years to rule and He will not die. So boarder will remain close for 3years

Your analogy doesn't apply here cos rather that move the factory to Ghana or Togo with a smaller market, the factory would remain in Nigeria to guarantee them access to a much bigger market than all the other small ones put together.

offcourse inland activities

That was when they could easily manufacture in Ghana with a more stable power supply and bring the products back to Nigeria. Now with the difficulties in bringing those things in, companies would think twice.

suffering and smiling !

Shatap.. You can lie for the world.. You have told us so many contradicted stories even though nobody asked you any questions..

See, here is called NL.. Go to newspapers stands and give them zobo.. If you, fara bla bla is a million richer, I swear you can never tolerate the way almost everybody is talking to you anyhow online.

If you are a million richer, your comments and arguments wont be that shallow by blaming Buhari even when not necessary.

If you are a million richer, your personal life wont be exposed easily on social media cos of security measures.

You are just a fake guy dishing different lies about your personal life same way you have been dishing lies about the presidency.

You are a fake man.

FarahAideed:
Buhari knows nothing about growing any economy , this is a man who couldn't even grow the number of cows he had in 8 years yet people like Sarrki , Afamed and shameless helinues expect him to grow the economy

Since they can throw anything at gullible fellow like you. 98 but failed to mention 1

Pepper soup joint news! The name of the chairman said it all! 98 firms? Dan iska! No firm will ever leave Nigeria with border closed because Nigeria is main and major market. Most of the companies that relocated before did that because of power (and that was during Obj cum PDP regime) since they believed that their products can freely move through border and the share of market segment is secured but with the border closed no right thinking management of any company will advise such. Why do you think Ghana is crying and not Benin Republic and Niger? It just because most of the Ghanaian company products are destined for Nigeria.
School they will not go only to be sprewing rubbish here!

Save your bitter and hateful rant, just find a neighboring country to relocate.

You and I know that firms are closing daily and this border closure has nothing to offer Nigeria but suffering .. your man has not added a single MW to the grid yet he claims he is embarking on protectionism , where are the industries he is protecting please ?
