Tareq1105:


Don't bring religion into this please. Did Bible say Christians should engage in smuggling?

The Bible says Isaac sowed in the land (our own land is Nigeria) and he reaped bountifully.

Bible did not say Isaac imported or smuggle in the land.

I stand with Buhari on this.

I have always said they're Christians and they're just church goers: the latter know next to nothing about the teachings of christianity. Bros, you belong in the former group, but you guys constitute the minority in the midst of hypocrites.

Does it mean Nigeria has achieved her objective of becoming self sufficient in rice production so soon?

Items that have gone up due to the closure won't come down to its normal price anymore. All you guys that got us here, una doooo

Shut up and listen to good counsel. Bla bla bla Ghanaian officials have cried over the border closure, so what? Didn’t nigerians cry and beg when Ghana closed shops belonging to nigerian traders in Ghana recently. Didn’t your president send a delegation to Ghana to beg for the shops to be opened? What is the difference between what Ghanaian officials are doing now add what nigerian officials did?

maynation:



I beg to disagree. Nigerians have been wailing since time immemorial, it has nothing to do with the border closure. We have witnessed worse level of inflation in the past and here we are still doing fine. So don't judge with what some random folks say because there is never a time complaints ever stopped. Even why we Nigerians are adorning Trump with appraisals and commendations, some Americans are wishing he dies and disappears. So you can never satisfy everyone, but Oga do you know the number of ghanians' officials that have lamented and cried blue murder over this border closure?
Even their president isn't excluded, this shows how much negative effect it has inflicted on their economy.
Believe it or not, Nigeria will benefit a whole lot for closing her border.

cucumbae:
Has the border closure brought investors into the country? Has it make any positive impact in the Lives of Nigerians? Buhari brought his economic crisis in 1984 as a military dictator to a demoncratic rule.Nothing has change.

True but our vice president signed a deal with vietnam do start building company in Nigeria, instead of vietnam shipping into Nigeria, if am wrong OP prove me wrong because na you post the news for Nairaland, Vietnam rice is one of the best in the world

KushLyon:
just dey watch as foreign rice wan take flood Nigeria market as soon as that border open..... We will be back to square one

And fg will close the border again for good or untill you hypocrites all check out of "our dear native land" - good riddance to bad rubbish. God continue to bless the federal Republic of Nigeria.

I beg to differ even Donald Trump that is a hard core president wouldn't dare close border for trading because of the consequences of it on the economy, jobs and his political aspirantions what he does is monitor it and seek for a better deal both Ghanaian and Nigerians cry because they are feeling the impact u don't judge because of some random folks those random folks are the once doing the trading and investment and u buy for them anything that affects them affects you because if the market isn't favourable for them it won't be favourable for you am a trump guy but sometimes his economic decisions have consequences for the US economy
And talking about inflation before
Compare our population back then to now

Increased population+increased manpower+good working conditions= better sufficiency

But we Don't have good conditions
Enough man power in the Agriculture sector
Better importation and trade policy

And u close border and u are expecting good results

Keep dreaming

You close borders but you continue to pay custom their salaries and the CG Of Custom, whose duty is to check smuggling along the borders, has not been sack. Why not disband the Nigerian Custom Service since they have failed in their duties to police the borders and close the borders indefinitely? Using archaic method to solve contemporary problems can't solve anything but will rather aggravate it.
Very useless Government

Very very useless!
Meanwhile activities continue non stop at northern borders

You want to close border and not facilities to preserve your own rice


You must be suffering from diseases foolish

JONNYSPUTE:
All these people supporting it are only being hypochritical as if we Nigerians are not experiencing the negative impact from the shut down.

What negative impacts? Because you cannot produce your own food or your life is dependent on things that you as a people can create but have refused to do so. Or you are involved in one form of smuggling and a business around it. The ports are still working.

Imagine, ordinary Ghana export sub-standard mango juice and other products into Nigeria which their own minister admit in an online tv program that such products cannot be accepted in China or any Asian country not to talk of the Europe.

AlphaStyles:
China that closed down it borders is still the same China that imports and exports too

It's the same China that preaches against protectism it's the same China that goes to other countries to do business and let foreign companies do it business

And talking about China can u compare their development with that of NIGERIA?

They use what they have to available to grow do u think that they wont have enough and close down importation? Have u had about the belt road China is building? If they weren't into importation why build it? My friend go and do more research about China before u talk rubbish online and mention China on every border closure post on Nairaland

Do you know since when china has closed her border?

You can't compare the current China's development to Nigeria's and it's an insult to talk about this. Let's the comparison be between the China before the border was closed and the now Nigeria. China noticed how foreigners were saturating her dear country with so many things, from products to religion to culture and this idea of border closure came up.
Now the question is, did this border serve its purpose?? YES it did. And all thanks to the reasons for the implementation. The only reason why China can go to different first-world countries and preach whatever they want is because the country has improved dynamically on local products and self sufficiency. Now they can woo other countries with their products, that is because they have products to show off. It wasn't magic, it was determinations and well-planned reformations. Things didn't go smoothly when it all started but now we all can see the after math of the whole sacrifice China made.

This is the phase Nigeria is, to decide if to be self sufficient or die as mere consumers of goods from countries that we are even 100 times better than.
Lets not politicize this thing, I am a member of the PDP and believe me when I say this is the only reasonable thing this administration has done even tho the basis for the implementation was somehow wrong.

talking about old China they too imported the old days from other countries if China is so strong why don't they lock all borders don't import again since it can sustain itself

U keep missing the picture Nigeria is different from China

China in terms of advancement is different if u think u will follow China and b successful then u are in for a big shock

Instead of you to post your view, you chose to insult me just because you don't like my comment.

My comment is my views which I'm entitled to just as you're entitle to yours even if you're a smuggler.

The platform is for discourse, knowledge, and for friendship.

Trump was said he is interested in 'security' than 'trade'. He said this while talking about his intentions to close US-Mexico border.

So what are you saying?
America has every desired thing needed to keep her borders clean, but do we have them?

Now please get this, no one is saying Nigeria should close her borders forever and ever. It is supposed to be for a while just to gain grounds and work on every of our loose ends.


At least, let's have what we can give out to these neighbouring countries too.

We don't want to be mere consumers, that's all.

then why didn't he close Canada-US border since it's about security? When u close borders make sure u have a proper plan that will help your country and there are availability of power to sustain but if u do that without all this available then u will get hurt

Those countries that u import from will complain for a while but later move to other countries living u to suffer alone

But the challenge here is the mindset of most Nigerians compared to average Chinese people. Nigerians do not know anything about sacrificing and it is always about immediate gratification. China strategies were implemented from cover to cover until they became a manufacturing hub. The key.was that those at the helm of affairs had a clear idea of what they wanted and how to go about it, and the populace were in line. Though they made few mistakes (environment pollution etc) but these can be redressed. Tell me, can our political elite sacrifice as well. Nigeria has too many citizen saboteurs with enough foreign counterparts. First implement capital punishment for corrupt acts, life-sentence for economic crimes like smuggling, then diverts huge funds into infrastructure, especially transportation, reorganize the customs service (heavily) and close land borders across the country for 2-years, all simultaneously. And Nigerians should remember to copy and imitate/produce as many western technologies as possible until they can recreate these as theirs. If these can be done to the letter, I bet what would emerge will be a totally different country. Nigeria is yet to take advantage of the size of its population.
