When Buhari goes to his private visit to UK, it is coded cover story for being summoned by white neocolonialist globalist. I predicted that he would be forced to reopen the borders. Noel1: |

Just30: As much as I condemn the despicable and counterproductive border close, the action will have a disproportionate effect on Ghana. Nigeria takes in lots of non traditional exports from Ghana as one of your ministers have said. Many of these products are manufactured goods. Manufacturing is a Labour intensive sector. It may also discourage manufacturers from setting up plants in Ghana. Ghana vibrant economy would be affected. It will definitely reduce your economic growth rate this year, but not at a devastating level |

Just30: leave them. This border issue is less discussed in Ghana. The first time I saw this border closure with Nigerians taunting Ghanaians was on nairaland. I always read and laugh. how is this affecting Ghanaians?? Nigerians can do better than this. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Re: Nigerian Government to Open Borders Next January by Just30: 9:59pm On Nov 03, 2019 |
grandstar: actually it will not because Ghana export more to other neighbouring countries than to nigeria and whiles demand for the same commodities will not come from Nigeria, the Ghanaian market can easily gulp those products because there are shortages of the same products all the time in Ghana. the companies that export to Nigeria from here are usually free zones companies by law, they are supposed to export 75% of their produce meaning, though there are demands for those products in Ghana Only 25% of their produce is available. |

how much exports from Ghana to nigeria are we talking about? is it the $100 million exports from Ghana to nigeria that "will reduce Ghana's economic growth?" I don't get it. $100 million in Ghana's exports represents about 0.0001 percent of Ghana's exports. Is that the one that "will reduce Ghana's economic growth?" very funny, walahi grandstar: 1 Like 1 Share |

By then, his aboki brothers should have made enough money doing rice farm. Why do we think Buhari has no rice farm also? |

MUMUdom: https://tradingeconomics.com/nigeria/exports/ghana https://tradingeconomics.com/ghana/exports/nigeria You can see that our exports to Ghana is more of semifinished and finished products while that of Ghana to Nigeria is mostly primary goods. We export more to Ghana and are supposed to be crying more but surprisingly Ghana has been crying and begging for Africa. We have alternative sources for our imports from Ghana because we produce it too but Ghana would need to import from other countries because they can't produce them...underdeveloped economy. |

MUMUdom:I thought that the news about Buhari giving you a January 31st deadline should've cooled you down, we've told you already to shut your borders to Nigerian goods, close down our shops with your GUTTER. Start the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and we'd teach you guys more lesson. Hope your beggarly ministers are off to Accra to return in January to start another round of begging. |

Ken4Christ: Did anyone stop you from owning a rice farm?.. Did the government place a ban on rice importation, bring your rice through the ports and pay the duties. Buhari is even too Nice closing the border against smugglers, i will order a shoot at sight on them if I have such power. A country that cannot feed itself cannot grow, farming is the only available option to people who have no skill or education, you want farmers to produce and and end up selling at loss?. The foreign rice that you prefer, the people who produced them are not related to you are they?. Eat Nigerian rice, produce your own rice too, we go buy and chop am. |

Nigeria imports sawdust Published August 28, 2019 KINDLY SHARE THIS STORY According to Trading Economics, imports to Nigeria surged 48% year-on-year to N943.6bn in December 2018, mainly driven by purchases of manufactured goods that took the chunk of 88.3% and raw materials, a meagre 12.5%. The implication of the minute 12.5% in raw materials import is that Nigeria is extremely poor in value addition, meaning that as a nation, we are lacking in simple and complex industries that helped in the transformation of other economies. An example is the huge importation of our cocoa beans by the USA and the UK; no matter how the huge import bills may be, those countries are the richer for it because what they have imported is for value addition. This scenario of unbridled import of finished products was aptly captured by the many super stores daily springing up in urban centres in Nigeria. A walk through these stores will make the patriotic citizen heave a forlorn sigh and wonder if the nation will ever be free from the imports of the biggest technologies like airplanes and ships to the import of minute technologies like matches and toothpicks. I was in such a mood when in a store in remote Akure, I saw imported sawdust on the shelf. I felt shocked to the marrows and dragged my colleague who was shopping with me to come and see what I saw. Sawdust! He exclaimed. I went back the following day to buy a pack for N1,299. It was to show to unbelieving Nigerians and lift it up to God to plead, “Save your people O! Lord.” That is if God in His benevolence interferes in such pedestrian matters. It is bad enough that Nigeria imports common banana and other exotic fruits into the country, but sawdust? What was the selling point of this imported sawdust from France? The details on the pack claimed that the sawdust was made from old wine barrels and as such when it is used to roast meats, the aroma of the wine that the barrels had soaked over the years of using it for storage will flavour the meat. In simple terms what the French had done for us was a very simple “waste to wealth”; old wine barrels that would have been stacked somewhere until they decompose or taken to French rural areas to be used for winter fire were carefully converted into sawdust, neatly packaged and shipped to Nigeria and maybe other countries that have the “taste” for “luxury” and “class”. READ ALSO: Nigeria, a laughing stock in oil business — Petroleum minister Sawdust seems to be a recurring encounter for me. Some years back, as an employee of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry, we hosted a business delegation from South Africa. One of them had told me, “Akin I saw on the long Bridge, how your country is burning money.” I had wondered if they came through the Niger Delta and my answer was “O! our gas flaring”, not knowing that he was talking about what he saw in Oko Baba, that strip on the Lagoon around Ebute-Ero when one is going to the Island through the Third Mainland Bridge where the bulk of saw-milling in Lagos takes place. What he saw was sawdust being burnt into ashes as a way of disposing the easily accumulated dust. He had told me that all we needed was a machine that could convert the sawdust into briquettes, and we have in our hands simple export commodities. The big question till today is, where is the technology and where are the entrepreneurs to make it happen? We all probably want to export crude oil. Where is the government’s will to boost Nigeria’s export at all costs? Those that have the money to import briquette-making machines would rather import state of the art fuel dispensing machines, build mega petrol filling stations to log into the dying but still lucrative petro-chemical industry in Nigeria. No wonder the landscape is filled up with fuel filling stations, where some, out of extreme poverty come to dispense N100 gasoline just to power their “I better pass my neighbour” generator to charge their phones and have a one-hour feel of civilisation.

7lives: You are as dull as your leaders. If he is really interested in you, he should also ensure that the price of local rice is regulated. People are already facing untold hardship and you are making them pay more for a poor quality rice. He should also ban importation of refined fuel which is what is actually consuming the bulk of our foreign exchange. He should also ban importation of keke na pep which is making India rich and Nigeria poorer by loss of foreign exchange. He should also ban products like cooking stove and many other things that can be produced locally. This government I repeat those not have your interest at heart. A president whose daily budget for refreshment alone aside foodstuffs is N68,000 will never feel the pains of the people. Yet people are starving in our IDP camps. His budget for transport for 2020 is 750 million for local traveling and 1.75 billion for international traveling. And minimum wage of 30k is difficult to implement. If this was Facebook, I would have blocked you. I can't stand people who can't reason rationally. |
Re: Nigerian Government to Open Borders Next January by 7lives: 7:32am On Nov 08, 2019 |
Ken4Christ: Eat local rice and stop all these stories, if government cannot pay 30k minimum wage people can get jobs in the private establishments. But when private establishments are not allowed to flourish by smugglers, na to dey cry for 30k sure pass. While people who hawk drinks around here saves 2k daily, idle capacities in government office are crying for 30k, radarada, your life is what you make it. |
Re: Nigerian Government to Open Borders Next January by Ken4Christ: 10:00pm On Nov 08, 2019 |
7lives: I didn't complain about eating local rice. My concern is the price. Why make your people already suffering pay more when your intention is to help them? He should also ban foreign medical tourism and equip our hospitals. He should stop putting on foreign shoes and let the Abba shoe maker produce his shoes. |
