Boko haram have know to exploit the vulnerability in our borders in the past.. I know there are other route but thing will be a lot harder now with this border closure

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


It is impossible to totally close your borders look at America even with a border wall they are still facing problems. Britain is surrounded by water and they are still facing problems with smuggling. The problem in Nigeria is illiteracy the Nigerian president is just chasing ghost what he is doing the Who black market he has pushed it on the ground which money cannot be accounted for. Benin Republic Togo they are still offloading ship loads of rice are the stores at the border are still selling rice how is it getting to Nigeria

Selective border closure. It is easier for Nigeria to enforce laws like criminal laws, tax laws, Traffic laws, Terrorism laws and other ones on Southern and western culprits or suspects than in the North. In the North, when you are a bandit, terrorist, law breaker, traffic offender, you will be pardoned even paid millions for you to stop. However, in the south, no shaking, na jail straight.

This so called border closure will not be enforces in the north, same with other laws.

The government is not getting anything right.
Some people will always gain while others lose due to the government's action, there
is nothing special about this case.

An economy is not built by banning imports but by encouraging production.
The fact that commodities imported from thousands of miles away are cheaper
than locally-made ones should be enough to tell you what the real problem is.

The last time a country tries to force self-sufficiency, 30 million lives were lost.
Though I think this border ban is mere political propaganda, it will be relaxed when
it has served its purpose.

“It is, however, disturbing that some neighbouring countries circumvent the ECOWAS protocol on transit. For clarity, the ECOWAS protocol on transit demands that when a transit container berths at a seaport, the receiving country is mandated to escort same without tampering with the seal to the border of the destination country.

“Unfortunately, experience has shown that our neighbours do not comply with this protocol. Rather, they break the seals of containers at their ports and trans-load goods destined for Nigeria.”

So, you think people in Benin republic don't eat rice？ And, of course, they ship rice to many other countries. Nigeria is just one.

It might interest you to note that in Benin, product price don't change for the worse all of a sudden like Nigeria. Product price actually do come down there.

I am not against your support for border closure but just wanted to say border closure doesn't include probably 10,000 illegal routes that are wide open.
