I Won’t Reopen Borders Now — Buhari Says In London by jarawa: 7:06am On Jan 21, 2020
President Muhammadu Buhari says reopening of the land borders will not happen until the final report of a committee set up on the matter is submitted and considered. He said this yesterday while holding a bilateral meeting in London at the sidelines of UK-Africa Investment Summit 2020 with President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana.

Buhari said the partial closure of Nigeria’s borders was not caused solely because food products, particularly rice, were being smuggled into Nigeria; but also because arms and ammunition as well as hard drugs were being ferried into Nigeria.

He said he could not open his eyes and watch youths being destroyed through cheap hard drugs, and compromised security caused by unbridled influx of small arms. “When most of the vehicles carrying rice and other food products through our land borders are intercepted, you find cheap hard drugs, and small arms, under the food products.

This has terrible consequences for any country.” He said it was regrettable that the partial border closure was having “negative economic impact on our neighbours,” but added that “we cannot leave our country, particularly the youths, endangered.” The president said the Sahel region was awash with small arms accounting for severe security challenges in Mali, Chad, Burkina Faso, Niger and Nigeria.

“We are in fact the biggest victims. We will get things sorted out. Our farmers, especially those who grow rice, now have a market, and are happy, and we are also concerned about hard drugs and weapons. Once the committee comes up with its recommendations, we will sit and consider them,” he said.

President Akufo-Addo, while showing understanding of the need for Nigeria to protect her citizens, pleaded for “an expedited process, because the Nigerian market is significant for certain categories of business people in Ghana.”

You can go to London and help the Ghanaian president to wail and beg for border reopening, Buhari and Nigerians are not bothered.
We thought Ghana and Ghanaians were doing wonderfully well since the border closure, why the continuous begging and stressing Buhari from Abuja to Lagos and now London by these Ghanaians?

Online warriors, we all know that Ghana is the richest country in the world, question still remains, why is your president still begging Buhari for the reopening of the shut borders? This is 2020 and not 2019 when the borders were shut.

Close more shops, not even one LGA chairman in Nigeria would beg you to reopen them, close 5,000 more shops and we won't beg you to reopen them but just tell your junior ministers, ex and present presidents to stop disturbing us.

shocked shocked see korokoro begging

“we cannot leave our country, particularly the youths, endangered.”


A major reason why Malaysia don't want to reverse the death penalty on drug traffickers, any country that forgets the youths forgets the future.

No wonder the people that sell and abuse igbo/weed are mad with the border Closure.
Una madness will tarry a while longer.
Drug abusers.

Oan,

God bless President Muhammadu Buhari.
May God continue to give him LONG life in GOOD health.
May God continue to bestow on him more Wisdom, knowledge and understanding as he takes our nation to a land flowing with milk and honey.
May God touch the hearts of Nigerians to support this man after God's heart.

Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime.
God bless you all.
We will all benefit from this good development as a nation
