Customs also can't ban anything. That is left to the government.

If its not broken, why fix it. People aren't complaining.

It is a good source of bribes- from the police to the customs.

On the roads, buses are stopped to see if they are carrying contraband. Rather than ban them, reduce the import duty on them. The trade provides a livelihood to hundreds of thousands of people, if not in millions. Many make millions a week just trading in the stuff.

KingSatan:
Please let the poor breath!

Used clothes are sold everywhere in the world. Stop making it look like Nigeria is the worse place on earth.

These strange and wicked policies are nauseating.

I repeat, let the poor breath.

This what killed the textile industries. They should ban Okrika. Second hand clothes is a big menace. In the late 70s and early 80s guys can hustle in three different companies a day. At least two sure shifts from two different companies. Every holiday whether is festive or anniversary sure that will be new cloths. And tailors will be patronized. There are native dress sewed for infants and babies. Nowadays you can hardly see already sewed infants and baby clothes that is of our traditional attire.

I deal with Okrika bail. I always buy from China Town but that business is killing our economy to be candid

Many Nigerians have never paid 1 naira for a brand new shirt in the last 15 years.

How do you people think Nigerians survive sef? You expect an Okada to enter a boutique and spend 12k on 1 shirt?? 1 not 10??

Please ban the rubish okirika. It is our major economic sabotage.

Those illiterates commenting up do not know its because of the toxic okirikas that textile industry collapsed in Nigeria.

Textile industry used to be the largest employer of labour in Nigeria. Millions of jobs have been lost because of trade liberalization agenda that allow all rubish from other countries to be dumbed into Nigeria.

If we produce and sew almost all we wear here we would enjoy these benefits among others:

1. Millions of jobs lost will be recreated

2. Most youth will be gainfully employed and thus reduce crime especially insurgency in the North

3. Naira will gain strength

4. Health hazard as a result of wearing toxic clothese will be averted.

5, Nigerian fashion brands will grow

Hope those who want to eat their tomorrow today will understand.

oh pls....second hand clothes is not the reason for the collapse of your textile industries, your govt. Destroyed it...

Some East African countries have already banned them. We should ban them asap.

Even oyibos are wearing it

They should also ban second hand cars, etc. Wicked people

He tried returning it but it didn't work

Keep your mouth shut.

Is textile the only industry that collapse? What of the automobile industry? Did it not collapse? Peaugot Automobile Nigeria and Voxwagen? Why did Government not ban all fairly used cars so we all will buy only brand new ones, let's see if you can afford a brand new car?

People like you have no empathy, because the policy does not affect you, it is fine. Rubbish!!!

Nigeria is a poor country that think it's rich.

Over 80million poor people and you are banning okrika? No be ment be that?

How about you improve the economy and people's well being and see if okrika won't loose customers with time.

That's Nigeria used cloth.

https://thenationonlineng.net/reactions-as-customs-plans-to-ban-second-hand-clothes/

The Customs Service has announced its intention to place a ban on the sale of second-hand clothes popularly called Okrika in Nigeria.

To all of you who still believe in One Nigeria especially those of you from Igbo-speaking Biafra, this is another economic jihad against you. It's only a matter of time before you would be made destitute because all the businesses that you're involved in would be proscribed by your Fulani government just like it proscribed IPOB. What's next? It could be computers, auto spare parts, appliances, etc. I say, "Keep loving and staying in your One Nigeria until it kills you and I will be here to talk about it!"

I deal with Okrika bail. I always buy from China Town but that business is killing our economy to be candid

It isn't killing our economy.

That is not what killed killed textile industry. Benin republic still produces textile fabrics and duty on second hand clothes there is low.

What really killed the fabrics industry in Nigeria is that manufacturers here are not competitive. That's just one reason. The second China's super competitiveness and its huge size.

For instance, most third world countries doing well in garments export it. Nigeria does not. Most developed countries you see today started through the export of textiles. It is a labour intensive industry. Labor accounts for 66% of the cost in some cases. That is why when countries become developed or labor costs start becoming climbing, they start moving production to areas where labor is cheap.

Is Nigeria really doing that badly in garments? The nations probably has up to a million people employed in tailoring business. It is still considered an industry. The Economist magazine calls it "The type of unflashy manufacturing that actually creates jobs."

The kind of finished clothing you want many to purchase is simply unaffordable to most people. Nobody would buy Okrika if he had money for new. It also gives them the opportunity to buy many and not just a few.

I would suggest import duty be reduced on second hand clothing. It provides livelihood to 100s of thousands, if not millions of people. This will boost it further.

Useless Zoo filled with Useless beings.

Bring money now only God knows what is going on with some people how man ready made clothes children go wear 2 for 10k, Sunday wear and house wear dey...how much be some papa salary how much is minimum wage...how much for school fees,house rent, transportation, feedings.
Okririka has been helping families alot in Nigeria,the poor masses workers on the street,abi na ready made Dem Go use do work or use paint house,go price the ready made🤔 even Americans sell used things all hands are not equal besides it's a means of livelihood to most families... some are washed and ironed pesin wey dey buy am know how to handle am,just because they can afford it right 😔 not everyone can,widows, pregnant women whose husband died, orphans, house help please name them how many can afford readymade and still feed well with this policy.

Let them focus on nation building first if e better, everyone would profit from it and trust me things go change.

Madness and insensitivity in display

Nigerians... So proud when they have nothing! Even in the UK the whites buy used clothes with joy. Them no dey use eye see thrift store, both men and women and their aim is sustainability of the earths resources. Why burn or throw out something that still has utility? but we Nigerians think we are too good for everything yet we produce nothing! The next thing you will hear is that we have Ankara and adire and everyone should go and wear those... As if we produce any of it or as if the average man on the street can afford brand new clothes except once a while...

The fact that you were born and raised with Okrika clothes should be one good reason you don't just open mouth and be talking carelessly

Swear that you have never bought a T-shirt or Polo from any Okrika stand

If yes or No
then the Tunder will start from your side because your mum used it in you when you were an infant

Can't you just make your own contribution without blowing hot air

Grow up pls

They know they can't stop second hand clothes. Many government administration have tried it in the past they end up finding their way into this country.
