SarkinYarki: By this token, the UK and the US should drop their visa requirements and dare all illegal immigrants to breach their borders. Makes sense. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Originalsly: Niger and Benin have a choice, they can refuse to comply. What many people do not know is that these terms have already been agreed with by the two countries. The period between now and January ending is being used for inspection and compliance assurance. No government does its business on the pages of newspapers. What the MoFA did was to inform the Nigerian people, bot ask them for permission. We already gave them permission to act in our name in the 2019 elections. I must say that the FGN is being extraordinarily proactive. It was literally the last signatory to the Africa free trade agreement and false and illegal transhipment was high on its concerns. Benin and Niger are test cases. Nigeria will not export its jobs abroad even if it's people feel they are entitled to drink french bottled water and strawberries. Good move. Good execution. The Vice President of Vietnam has already come pleading. That is the biggest importer of rice to Benin. Its biting. 11 Likes 1 Share |

EkperemoEgbabi: is a woman. Her life is miserable that's why its very hard for Nairalanders to discover her gender in time. But we thank God that gave me the idea to follow her mentions bumper to fender. I was able to discover that she's actually a woman without brain. As a matter of fact, she even pregnant! |

thread is fully of lazy nigerian youths who want to remain in penury because they hate buhari. Importing food products your country can produce is a slow and sure road to bankruptcy you think it is bad now? what do you think this country will be like when oil is not in vogue and we cannot produce staple foostuff? you will beg to buy that stony rice at 50k per bag 3 Likes |

Why sign the continental free trade agreement if you were not going to allow from all African countries. And someone better remind Mr. President that closing the borders, is against the ECOWAS charter. If ECOWAS wasn't a dummy organization headed my dumb Nigerians, Nigeria would be swimming in sanctions by now. It may look like Nigeria would not lose anything if it keeps it's borders shut, but don't underestimate those 'small countries'. |

Originalsly:Those conditions the OP talked about has always been part of the ECOWAS protocols that member countries signed up to and not any new demand as the OP erroneously made it look. They all signed to obey it since when they decide to be members, why are they still going against the protocol they signed is the question 1 Like |

ThePreachersSon: Don't say wat u know nothing about oga! Where is it stated in the ECOWAS treaties that ECOWAS member countries should open their borders to all sort thereby turning them to dumping ground? Where is it stated that member country should open their borders to neighbouring ECOWAS countries at the detriment of its own economy! You people should stop shouting ECOWAS treaties u know nothing about.... ECOWAS treaties is basically about Free movement, Ease of doing business among member states, and Residence. But all these have clause attached to them, you can't move into any member countries without proper travelling documents , you can't reside without holding proper document, and u can't do any type of business at the detriment of your host country! 7 Likes |

SarkinYarki: What if it's my neighbor, his family & possibly friends that threw unwanted debris like stones, sharp objects etc inside the tank that supplies water thereby exacting unnecessary & unwanted pressure on my filters which led to their (filters) destruction? What do you think will happen to the filters again if I repair, fortify or even replace them without handling my neighbour, his family & friends in such a way they will realize the consequences of their actions on my filters? 3 Likes |

ThePreachersSon:Just as if the EU can sanction the US, the rest of the leeching ECOWAS members are not up to 50% of Nigeria in economic strength and population. Those leeching countries know that they've been breaching the ECOWAS protocol we all agreed to and that's why they can't sanction or sue Nigeria because they know they won't win. Advice those leeching countries to start obeying what they signed to and Nigeria would of course comply. Let them sanction Nigeria and we'd stop their goods from getting close to any of our seaports. For now it's just the land borders that are affected, let them try nonsense and we seal both air and seaports to them 3 Likes |

Watch and learn all of you I predict Nigeria rightfully pulling out of the ECOWAS free trade agreement for breech of contract.This 3 months will be a proof of concept See those terms have always been in the ecowas charter to keep foreign goods transiting through other countries legally to a minimum Imagine Benin appointing a customs official to escort all imported goods that pass through their sea port for Nigeria(cars,rice,oil,toothpick,matches,second hand clothes,shoes,bags,and the list goes on) Benin,Niger,Cameroun and togo as a country (all francophone countries) became official smugglers and accomplices to smugglers when they: 1.Reduced cost of shipping and importation through their borders knowing fully well the goods were destined for Nigeria.PS Benin imports more rice than Nigeria through her sea ports 2.Reduced security scrutiny of imported goods not destined for their countries 3.Reduced sanctions and taxes on imported goods through their sea borders 4.Allowed foreign goods to be repackaged in their country By so doing they have broken every honour in the ECOWAS agreement intended for the spirit of brotherhood They have opened our country to security challenges They have sabotaged our local industries and our trade and investment sector If they cannot meet the terms in the next 3 months including destruction of all warehouses along the border route .Nigeria has every right to pull out of the agreement claiming sabotage.Watch and learn you all. Lastly Next step. Nigeria should use this opportunity to address companies setting up in Ghana and selling a large proportion of their goods to the Nigerian market. Renegotiate everything to make it unconducive for them.Nigerias market is her leverage.We must use it to favour us in growth and development putting Nigeria first PS -Even Moroco was trying to join ECOWAS 5 Likes |

The federal government trying to encourage local production is a right thing to do, let's give it a try and see before we criticize if the aim is not met. |
Re: Border Closure: Nigeria Lists Conditions To Reopen Borders With Neighbours by Area4Area: 7:53am On Nov 05, 2019 |
phineas:You spoke well and you spoke the undiluted truth, those companies that relocated to Ghana would start coming back because Nigeria has always been their primary market and you know, no market no production so they'll come back. You'd be surprised that kasapreko makers of alomo bitters may be planning to establish in Nigeria, they've reportedly lost over $2million since the closure. Morocco tried joining because it was eyeing the Nigerian market so that they can come and dump all stuff just like those leeching ECOWAS members are doing and Buhari refused their membership. The Nigerian customs has said that the January 31st date is false and the border closure continues, it said it only extended the current phase of operation 4 Likes |
