Agboriotejoye: Yet they have customs but still have porous areas right? You admitted so yourself. Well Nigeria has done same. We have blocked the porous areas and asked you all to use the airports to freight your goods in. That is the door we have left open same way the Americans have a gate in their wall 1 Like |

Blindersoff:This is an absolutely obtuse way of reasoning. Do you know the difference between land, air, sea? Imagine asking Benin republic and Ghana to load a ship and sail it on the Atlantic to Nigeria when they can make that journey in 4-6hrs by land. Does dat sound reasonable to you? Besides you surely can't compare the land mass between Mexico and US with that of Nigeria and Benin. Not to mention how vicious a neighbour Mexico are. Even at that, are you saying no land trade between US and Mexico now? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

blackbone989: Either the foreign rice you bought was smuggled or if was imported through the ports and then the importer was made to pay really high tarrifs. |

Blindersoff: If that's the case then why is Nigeria even part of Ecowas ? Ecowas was meant to be like NAFTA. A free trade Bloc composed of West African countries. |

Agboriotejoye: This is a very obtuse way of reasoning. Perhaps you thought items are not being allowed in through the borders. You are so wrong. The reason behind the closure is so smugglers can no longer smuggle but come legitimately through the borders as they pay all duties required rather than Dodge after paying duties at Benin. Those who ship to Benin and pay duties there only to now smuggle same into Nigeria without paying duties should desist from that and those items on the no import list should be stopped. The airfreight option is open as an alternative for those who feel cheated Imports through the land borders are still going on and those complaining are obviously those who before now have been smuggling in their goods without paying the duties attached. Benin cannot be among the top 5 importers of rice in the world just so they can smuggle same into Nigeria. The money they spend on importation of rice which they smuggle into Nigeria and gain from it is what we lose to them. We cannot keep getting exploited. I suggest you read up on the reason behind the ban and if imports are not being allowed in at all so this obtuse reasoning of yours can cease. 4 Likes 1 Share |

A very big blow to the igbo business men and women.The igbos thrive more where there's choas! However, it's a welcome development as many fake/inferior and clone goods will be stopped. At least for the time being, nawah remain small make alaba boys take produce human beings. Let them go through the seaport, wayo people. Obasanjo did it and there were positive results especially from external countries, Buhari is on point! 1 Like |

Agboriotejoye: It is now apparent you are Ghanaian which is why this is hurting you. Make use of the alternatives provided as Ghanaians. You share direct borders with Togo and will get to Benin before you get to Nigeria. Since you have about 4 countries directly sharing borders with you why is that one country which is 2 borders away your main headache? Nigeria reserves the right to do as she pleases within her own borders. We are done here 1 Like |

Blindersoff:You're back to being obtuse now. Pity. You should realise that the closure also affects your countrymen too. Ghanaians are not the smugglers we're talking about. Neither are they the corrupt customs officials. They don't trade in hides and skin nor do they export palm oil from Nigeria. They don't sell clothing and electronics to west African countries from Onitsha and Aba. Nor are they involved in importing goods through Benin republic seaports. All these activities are carried out by Nigerians. It's shallow of you to think everyone is a Ghanaian or gives a Bleep about them. You don't cut your nose to spite your face. |

Agboriotejoye: Thank you and you can carry a megaphone and rant from the top of Mount Afadja in Volta region, your rantings are like the yelling of an ant. Nobody hears you and nobody will act on it. Borders remain closed. Make use of the alternatives. If Nigerians are suffering from it as you claimed, that is Nigerias business and not yours. Go and show concern to kasapreko 1 Like |

yanabasee: I thought with the closure of border within 3-4 months we will notice some difference in our economy but till now nothing is showing forth. Things are still expenses,I was thinking if these people decide to use the right channels,we will make more money but yet the government is still planning on borrowing more money.

Ecowas is complaining because they don't know how things work in Nigeria, they are viewing it from a moral and just angle not knowing that things are done upside down in Nigeria. Border closure is more effective down south unlike the north were it is still business as usual. Most Ecowas trade routes are down south, expectedly, they will feel the heat. mvem: |
