I think Nigeria government should capture Benin republic and add it to Nigeria after all Benin republic is too small to be a country #just 4 million people not even up to bayelsa state!
Let the border remain closed, we cannot be feeding the whole of West Africa and they continue to make jest of us as poverty capital.

Guyman02:
Make importation through our ports less cumbersome with cheaper tariff, open up the Eastern ports and reorganise the customs service

ud4u:
Smuggled

What arithmetic do they use to measure the amount of smuggled goods

Do the smuggled goods pass through them officially for recording

If yes, why is it called smuggled goods

RTSC:

That is the annoying thing about many of these countries.

They would be mocking you, whereas their economic existence is tied to Nigeria.

angelEmade:
the FTC above me doesn't know Nigeria is over hyped. ask Syria and Egypt to tell you the story of isreal

Jasseyfrd:
Nigeria is over rated

PrecisionFx:


U are the HQ of Poverty on earth, Closing borders will make it worse

mofedamijo:


think, if Benin import goods worth 30naira, and they consume just 2naira of it, where did the rest go?? no traceable link to other west African countries except Nigeria.....there are several ways to detect this, it's not rocket science.

Kubernetes:
The Nigerian gvt should reduce the tariffs to 10% like Benin.If this is done,cars from Europe will be routed to Lagos by the importers instead of cotonou

This does not even make sense.

Why is there poverty?: because there’s no employment.

Why is there no employment?: Because there are a lot of dumping through imports that are killing our not too strong industries (majorly because of government- no infrastructure)

Even the European Union is protectionist by nature.

Closing the border is just a strategy to jostle things up a bit. (By now, our neighbors would have realized that they cannot do without our 200million people market,

That if the must access our market,, they must tackle smuggling. And pay their fair share to government as tariff. Plus it’s not a must to lower tariffs. As a matter of fact, raise tariffs.. and give tax holidays this will make the manufacturing come to Nigeria because they don’t want to lose the market.

You’ll agree with me that this closure of border has made a lot of rice milling company spring up in Nigeria recently. Same thing happened with tomato paste and vegetable oil. (No b ghost go work there. Na Nigerians which will reduce employment, increase government revenue generation etc etc

PrecisionFx:






""That if the must access our market,, they must tackle smuggling.""

U are quite confused. Nigeria is the one who is supposed to tackle smuggling. U have thousands of corrupt custom officials who collect bribe and allow any good to pass thru.

""You’ll agree with me that this closure of border has made a lot of rice milling company spring up in Nigeria recently. ""

Blatant silly lies.






""Why is there no employment?: Because there are a lot of dumping through imports that are killing our not too strong industries""


There's no employment because u don't have electricity, not because of imports.


""(By now, our neighbors would have realized that they cannot do without our 200million people market""


They can easily do without u and ur fake 200 million over bloated population, there are over 7.5 billion people on earth. Within a few months, Ghana and all these nations will find alternatives and sell their market and life would go on.
