Imagine sophisticated weapon by smugglers,................ which way NIGERIA.


the outdated gunboats acquired by custom is redundant, why buying old and outdated machine when you know it cant serve the purpose. or was it to just spend the money on something.

Suremikky:



180bill is just a enough money to buy the best gunboat in the world...the Truth is that the money has been cornered as usual

JezraM:
This is the result of trying to solve problem in an analogue way.

Bother closure is the dumbest idea and initiative of this government.

The northern borders are active, as affirmed by Buhari's senator, yet he wants the borders down south to be closed.

One Nigeria indeed.

If customs had lived up to expectations, border closure will have been unnecessary in the first instance

Jokes apart, which battle has Nigeria ever won?

The border is only closed officially. Business has already returned as usual and the whole project is now self defeating.

Said it won't work. You don't just go around peddling a war strategy without an objective, target or planned deliverables. Even pressure cookers have relief valves just in case the objectives are not at hand.

This sounds so much like 1985 abd the infamous import license regime. When the dust had settled all that was left were a few artificial billionaires in goverment with their civilian collabirators. The country came out of it like a druggie taken to rehab but without the rehab. Worse, much worse.

Guyman02:
This border closure is to impoverish communities in the SW according to some traditional rulers. Here in the North it's business as usual.

All economic apparatus and heads of economic agencies are now firmly in the hands of northerners.

Warehouses in Kano have foreign rice from Niger, Cameroon and Chad, no Customs disturbing them, the Customs officers wait for southerners who bought rice in Kano to confiscate them in Lokoja or they pay huge bribes

Jidibia:

The worst of all is that, down south south, all shops selling foreign rice are raided but here in the north we even buy foreign rice from street hawkers. Very useless country and govt.

sassysure:

Tell them.
Instead they are busy fighting igbo Yoruba war instead of seeing the real.picture on ground.

The north is always 20 steps ahead
