I’m yet to see or hear Reno talk about his preferred candidate.
Everyday Peter Obi this and that. This guy literally breathes in Peter Obi like wtf.
He’s yet to market Atiku.

Eriokanmi:
Reno will never see anything good in this I know lol..losers

AK481:
olodo reno.

restriction of FX should be removed.
the diaspora should send all its fx to nigeria for production so that it will help to create a suplur of dollar and give the naira more value.

this is technical ,so you don't expect agbado people to understand

SIMONEKPA7:


Removing duties from our excise will spell doom for the economy.. You don't need to be an economists to know that.. in as much as I know that Obi wants to impress his audience, he should exercise caution when churning out data and statistics of economy use because it will always be a reference point
Take out time to read what Reno wrote and be judgement about it. Read and learn and stop behaving like the Buharideens

ChukwuObe:


But wait, what do you expect from a 3rd class GCE degree. You dont expect a dumb to perform better. The unfortunate thing is that his supporters are very gullible and hateful. What a shame!

My brother has a factory in lekki. But the raw materials he uses are sourced from Turkey and China. He cannot easily get those raw materials because of import restrictions. Meanwhile after buying those raw materials, he converts them into finished goods and exports them to Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon etc.
Removing import restrictions would In The long run benefit the economy because the finished goods are exported.

It's just like countries that buy Nigerian oil. They convert the oil to finished petroleum products that have more value than the initial raw materials.
Removing import restrictions especially on raw materials is good for the economy.

americaninja1:
u are d senseless and dull person here. Even USA doesn’t restrict importation, not to talk of a country that her local production can’t cater for half of her citizen. They only gave few importation license and waiver, and block others from doing so in d name of promoting local production . Make few extremely rich at the detriment of millions of people.

asanausana91:
mumu attack the matter and leave Reno alone

ElSudani:
It is a destructive idea. Nigeria is actually on the path of further development. Obi's idea will reverse all the gains Nigeria had made in more than 20 years.
Babangida's SAP was created to make Nigeria self reliant in many ways, the transition was painful for Nigerians but the policy still largely remains till today which is basically to look inwards.
Reversing this will blow the economy, many factories will close down. All those Aba shoe makers will lose out to cheap imports from Asia.
Basically, Obi will f**k Nigeria up.
This guy is clueless, please don't let this man near Aso Rock.
PS. When young Nigerians say 'sapa' the structural Adjustment program (SAP) of Babangida is the etymology of that slang.
Peter Obi's idea will take us back to a period before that.

penultimatee:
Okay,I stand with reno on this.How can we be importing what we can produce locally here in Nigeria.Its like we are empowering foreign currency on our own currency detriment.

richidinho:


From 2007 - 2015 import restriction was removed

Foreign rice. 50kg N9,000
Local rice. 50kg. N4,000


From 2015 till date import is restricted
Foreign rice. 50kg N35,000
Local rice. 50kg. N30,000

Obi is right

Reno is disgusting

He was quick to say Obidients will come after him.
What’s factual about the rubbish he put up.

Millionjeff:


Please can u offer an alternative analysis. As an undecided voter,I needed more facts to vote your candidate. please your analysis should be issue based.
For your information I got no candidates because Nigeria problem is systemic rather individual.

micflo28:
Nigeria is witnessing production deficit because of governments inability to boost the power generation sector and provide security before shutting the borders. Right now, to reflate the country back to its feet, we need to import as much to bridge the consumption gap while working tirelessly to solve insecurity and boost power supply by about atleast 18hours a day. Reno is ignorant of all this. Pressure from poverty and hunger lightgassed insecurity. Creating an enabling environment for cottage industries to grow before import restrictions is key to balancing the delicate economic misnomer.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


Nigerian people are illiterate there is no local manufacturing the only many factory which there is in Nigeria is borrowing money. A product in America which is 5 US dollar when Nigeria wants to produce that same product they will end up borrowing 100 US dollar to produce a product of $5 in a developed country. Whoever is telling you there is local production is a bloody lie all the local Industries are just borrowing money to produce

dmostcheerful:
Reno mockery the crier.
Importation isn't Nigerians problem.
We stopped rice important and the price of local rice went from 11k to 29k currently.
Cement nko?
Nigerians are naturally greedy.
Remove restrictions to easy price for locals, use that opportunity to create more production company(this will create competition among local producers) which will leads to price reduction too.
When the locally produced price is down the importers won't keep up with price there by leading to them being discouraged with importation.
Right now, due to the current situation of thing like insecurity, unaccessible local production material, lack of steady electricity Nigeria isn't producing much.

alizma:

Thanks for bringing in this angle of the situation to defend his point however, we are looking at from the angle of finished products as well as those those products that their required raw materials can be sourced locally. If obi had define the category of restrictions he planned to remove, maybe that would have save us the argument but unfortunately he didn't and from my secondary school till this point, I am made to understand and I believe that one of the major policies to encourage local producer is import restriction.
