Since Nigeria has said " NO" in capital letters, can't these countries take their goods to other African countries? Is the African free trade not for all African countries? Egypt has an economy as big as that of Nigeria, they have large population, all these countries that keep taking advantage of Nigeria can take their goods there. Sambisa forest belongs to all Nigerians but not all Nigerians will want it as a gift even as large as it is.

Hold your goods and whatever products you produce our dear neighbours.. We want to be consuming our own goods too. We're not only tired of your substandard products, we've fed up with u crumpling our economy.. once a giant is now an ant..


We're getting up again.. bigger and better.. God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

BRATISLAVA:
but you said they should send it to Egypt rather than Nigeria. I'm asking if Egypt needs what they were giving Nigerians that Nigerians needed

oz4real83:
exactly my point. Funny enough, it is Nigerians hiding under these disguises. It is also Nigerians pressuring these countries to demand border re-opening. These countries have already collected import duties from these importers. They won't lose anything if borders remain closed. Only importers who will be forced to sell their goods cheaply or continue pay for warehousing that will lose.

Nigerian market constitutes about 25% of total African market as a result, you cannot downplay the strategic importance of Nigerian market to her proximate countries: Niger & Benin.

what about their farmer they produce largely for just Nigeria consumption.

oz4real83:
their farmers should demand from their govt to stop the illegalities the Nigerian govt is complaining about so that they the farmers can have freedom to do their legal businesses. It is the farmers that suffer from their govt's indiscretion. Nigeria needs their food because we don't produce enough food no matter our govt's pretence. But we don't need the illegal arms and contrabands being smuggled.

I was only using Egypt as an example of countries in Africa who signed the free trade agreement. What some of these countries do to Nigeria under the guise of "elder brotheliness", they won't do it to other African countries. Foreign countries and companies are also taking advantage and copying from them. Imagine toyota going to set up a plant in Ghana when the market is in Nigeria. We must take a stand now. I never supported total free trade agreement. I wanted a partial agreement where Africans can trade with Africans only on goods manufactured in Africa, not imported ones as they are doing now.

What's wrong with this Newspaper (including Telegraph)! Most of their news nowadays is about how Nigeria is causing problems with border closure. Even if there company are owned by our 'bloda' from the 'yeast', are they into Smuggling business or why are they crying than the breaved?
