Effect of the recent closure of Nigerian border by federal government have not only affect rice importation but also seems to be taking a toll on other forign commodities in Nigerian markets. Stock fish as one among the rest is becoming scarce in the market and the little, one can get from grocery shops are being sold in unusual prizes. People of God, do you think this is a good pointer to a better Nigeria? 5 Likes

In the early 70s to early 80s head of stock fish head was not sold or eaten in Nigeria. Then kpanla was very dry and you need saw blade to cut it to pieces. When the economy started to go bad in the mid 80s thats when we started seeing kpanla head for sale in the markets. How things have changed 120 Likes 9 Shares |

The media houses need to stop all these propaganda news they're dishing out every day. Why should Benin republic import everything from their port and make money on our behalf. How can a small country import more bags of rice than their population. Even though I don't like Buhari, but this border closure has exposed so many people like people who import Palm oil, like seriously Palm oil? You have the mind to smuggle Palm oil into Nigeria? Like seriously are we mad? SS and SE are flooded with Palm oil. Some people are now importing already made stew from China, go to ShopRite you will see already made stew, like seriously are we mad in this country? Even vegetable oil, Rice, stock fish, cloths, salt, tomato paste, and frozen chicken. It's game over for Benin republic, cos they've been cheating us for decades now. It's also game over for Ghanaians who comes to Nigeria to buy products that are subsidized with our Dollar, and they still have the audacity to be locking Nigerian shops for years. I even thought that Ghanaians travels to Asia and Europe to buy products, I didn't know they're squeezing products out of Nigeria. I was watching their TV news on DStv as Ghanaian traders were interviewed on how it's affecting their business. One extension hair seller said she's in trouble cos she has ran out of stock and customers are complaining cos Xmas is around the corner. The other one said he went to Ladipo to buy motor spare parts but he couldn't carry the goods out of Nigeria. Ghana Traders union inserted a law in their constitution that for a Nigerian to open even small provision shop the person must first pay them $300,000 us dollars. That's the most wicked law Ive ever seen in my life. That's like saying we don't want Nigerians in our country. But our recent border closure exposed this Ghanaian traders Union, they all come to Nigeria to buy all manner of goods to sell in Ghana. What if Nigerian government to put into law that only Ghanaian traders must pay us $300,000 us dollars before they can buy a wheelbarrow load of engine oil cans from Ladipo. Since we all want to be mad in Africa let's all be mad. So they depends on Nigerian goods but they're the ones who hate Nigeria the most in West Africa. That border will remain closed till 2050. Period. Media houses continue the propaganda news, good thing Buhari doesn't read all these propaganda. You're wasting your time. 245 Likes 30 Shares

jesmond3945:Hmmmm! You Buhari supporters talk dumb a times. What do you mean by start a fish farm. Do you mean we should start stockfish farming in Nigeria? Do you even know what a life stockfish (codfish) look like? PS: for those of you quoting me... 1: No, one mustn't eat codfish but note that not everyone eats catfish as well. Especially in the north where they believe it is a carnivore 2: You cannot breed a codfish in Nigeria as a business because this fish natural habitat is icy salt waters which can only be bred in northern Europe (Norway & Iceland) 3: instead of closing the border of Nigeria, why not reduce tarriff and import tax. Closing the border means even Nigerians can't export our commodity to other African countries through land border. Thereby creating unfavorable balance of trade and breech of bilateral agreements 44 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigerians can complain for Africa!!! Price of rice has increased! Yes! Why not go into agriculture and make millions. There is stock fish scarcity why not go into fish farming and make millions. They will complain that unemployment rate has increased but I see lots of opportunities to make money in this closed border. China developed because their government ban importation of many things. I support this border closure! It's just that the timing was wrong. 84 Likes 4 Shares |

Hmm. I am blessed to know a former Deputy Director of NAQS and he told me how he went to Tromsø to see how stock fish are cured and after that trip, he doesn't eat stock fish again. The Norwegians that produce this stock fish (okporoko) don't eat it. It is for export only. Just take the issue of rice from Thailand (5-10yrs stored rice sold to us) as a related case. 50 Likes 4 Shares |

Seems people are still not getting it. The closure of the borders is a wake up call for indigenous Nigerians to start their business and they will flourish. If neighbouring countries are bent on exporting their goods to Nigeria, let them do so by either sea or air. Simple! 60 Likes 5 Shares |

But why should stock fish be scarce in Nigeria when we have waters and fishermen? Wetin dm con dey fish? Those fishermen have never been encouraged by our government. Maybe this border closure is a good thing after all. Modified : Thanks for those that took their time to inform me that certain fishes can not survive in our waters; hence the reason for importation. 20 Likes 2 Shares |
