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!
oil dey ur head. God bless you

just like how the government closed the border, they should give loans and land to graduate from each local government to start farming... my two cents

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?


Stock fish isn't scarce in the market, try and make your research and the price haven't change also.

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.

Can you tell us pls?

I am not in support of complete border closure but we complain alot in Nigeria. If stockfish is scarce, then we should eat more dryfish and catfish that we farm locally. Must we complain about every single imported product that is no longer available in the market??

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, 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 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. 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


Free trade in West Africa .

See the bolded?
No, Benin Republic didn't cheat Nigeria
Nigeria cheated itself.

In it's bid to subjugate the SE and SS, the country decided to make Lagos port the only functional one, rather than expanding the capacity of other ports in the south.
Ok, so far, so good. But common sense should let the same govt realize that it needs to upgrade Lagos port to cope with the huge demands of a country with population of over 180m. The govt didn't.
Check out the Oshodi-Apapa "expressway" that feeds the port.
Importers and exporters alike accrue demurrage through no fault of theirs. The roads are deathtraps.
Once people realized that they can do business faster and cheaper through Benin republic port, they switched over to it.

Remember, nature does not tolerate a vacuum. Nigeria govt fvcked up, and Benin govt stepped up.
After closing the borders without developing it's own ports, the country will get worse than it already is.
It is simple logic.

You were making sense until you got to the emboldened.

Does Nigeria also subsidize female hair and spare parts?

I am not against border closure, but Buhari and his goons should fix our power to reduce the cost of producing goods locally.

Which kind free trade. We've been warning about foreign regions using smaller African countries as conduit to flood our market with products.

Africans risk their life in the Mediterranean Sea just to go work in a poultry house. Meanwhile frozen chicken are being sold to us in Africa.

Why can't people start fish and poultry farms, Africa have the land mass that are so empty waiting for it's citizens to start something. But no, we want the easy way out

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
head of stock fish head? Which kind of fish could that be?

Better wake from your slumber. What exactly is wrong with what he said? Firstly, we need to start thinking about import substitutions and how to improve them from our end. The catfish many people rear have so much potential, with some value addition like drying or smoking.
