The Comptroller General, of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col Hameed Ali(retd), has lamented the continued incidents of smuggling in the country despite the border closure.

He decried that rice and other prohibited goods still found their way into Nigeria.

This is as Ali said the NSC has intercepted smuggled Pangolin scales valued at N10.26bn.

Ali disclosed this in Lagos on Tuesday while informing the media about the seizure of $8.06m cash off the tarmac at the international wing of the Murtala Mohammed airport.


Ali said the Pangolin scales were intercepted along the Isheri axis of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

He noted that Pangolin was a highly endangered species and international law prohibited its trade in any form.

According to him, the price of the scales, which goes for $3000 per kilo was the reason it was irresistible to smugglers.

He said, “The fact that we have border closure and people still bring rice and other items into the country shows that our people have the natural tendency to commit crime.


“We need the cooperation of the media and the general public to get the right information that would help us do our job because Customs are not magicians.

“Before you know it, illicit drugs, weapons, and other dangerous materials will come in and your children and relations will become victims of these dangerous items.”

Hmmmm

Why the unnecessary generalisation?

Can we say since all terrorist group is from North, all northerners are terrorist?

Or since all the bokoharam chant alahu Akbar after killings means all Muslim are Boko?

Ayam not understanding

That's because there is no border control in the north.

Boy, everything or anything that comes close to Buhari always become insane. Give up now before you get hypertension. Fashola that has sense since he moved to Abuja he looks insane now.
Don't let this government

This Alli dude is as dumb as
the man who appointed him.


The nation is been governed by
people of low IQ, that is why nothing
is working right.


An utterance as meaningless as his
oga's "lazy youth" interview.

My people are useless
My people are indiscipline

Fela

This is Nigeria, Look how am living now, Look how am living now, Everybody be criminal ...

This is the same reason given by Hitler for the holocaust.
What a buffoon!!

In short, every Nigerian is a potential criminal.

The truth is, every human being regardless of race, religion or sex has the potential to commit crime.

That's why we have laws.

In countries where the laws are enforced and there are no sacred cows anywhere, the society is peaceful and progressive. Like Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway etc.

Close that border and throw the key away.

Me personally I don't want Ghanaians in this country.

Checkout Ghanaian trade law against Nigerians. But 95% of their citizens come into Nigeria to buy subsidies goods. These Ghanaians are evil


Per Section 27 of the GIPC Act 865, “A person who is not a citizen or an enterprise which is not wholly owned by a citizen, shall not invest or participate in the sale of goods or provision of services in a market, petty trading or hawking or selling of goods in a stall at any place.”

No Nigerian would ever try doing what A does and got arrested, B would never want to try it if the security did not encourage the acts in the first place.


The blame goes on and on and on

From poor salary of the security personnel to collecting bribe from the youth they claimed have tendency for crime.

If the youth commits crime, the security allowed it

Lalalastic, , are you criminally minded

I am not a criminal

In other news, they blockaded the entire south east and south south during the civil war, but sambisa forest is too much for them to blockade today. Who are they fooling?

I absolutely agreed that all Nigerians are criminals, including you and your boss that appointed you.





Awon were ikeji Arin din

You are talking like a fool. Who gives a fvck about nigerian border closure. Subsidized goods? Which subsidized goods? Nigerians are the ones suffering the border closure, not Ghanaians. Stvpid sufferheads . By the way, tell your nigerian people to stay in their country. They are just too many in Ghana why are nigerians running from their country in such large numbers? Isn’t nigeria a paradise?

After these irresponsible people in government steal the country blind then they will turn around to insult the populace as if everyone is a criminal.The truth is they dont want the poor downtrodden citizens to contest with them in the criminality and corruption order they have instituted.Useless leaders.
