How can you be wearing another person used clith. Do you know where they picked those clothes from?
Do you know what if the owner of the clothes has died and they sell the clothes to you and you buy.
Comot money buy original clothes
Or you wear traditional cloths

Wearing another person's used clothe is a no no from me.
That is how on of my guy bought okirika jeans and while washing it he saw blood stain inside the jeans.
He tried returning it but it didn't work
Do you know if the owner of that Jean was a victim that got shot and his jeans removed and sold as okirika second hand cloth and you gladly buy it and wear a dead man clothes walking around.
And you wonder why evil things are happening to you.

The one that shocked me till this day
I found out that girls buy okirika bra and pants. shocked
Thunder fire all of una. Bloody disgusting species. Tueh!!!
Imagine wearing the used pant of an unknown bleeding vagina.
Angel Gabriel, what are you waiting for?
I personally have no issue with okirika clothes...
But u see okirika undies, esp pants... They should arrest and prosecute anyone found trying to bring such into our dear nation.. angry

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

Those illiterates commenting up who want to look like oyinbo do not know it's 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.

U spoke so fast....

U need to calm down and go through wot u posted, dis time, go slowly.

So, importation of okirika kills our local textile industries, while importation of already-made clothes improves dem?

Or u advocate for closing importation of everything called clothes...?

Trust me, I hate markets. grin I'd rather shop online from the comfort of my bed but sometimes, it is fun. And anytime I plan on going to markets, I clear my To-do list, which means the whole day will be spent in the market.
Last month, I and my friend again visited Wuse Market on my CDS day. We spent the whole day from 9am to 7pm shopping from one place to another, and you have to be on comfy shoes, particularly crocs. grin

Thank you. I have some other plugs, I'd check my IG page and let you know.


You know it. Yahoo boys have made things really expensive in the market. It was worse in Benin. That time, one Jean was 15k. I and my friends will enter boutique, the sellers will think we're Yahoo boys girlfriends and buy us malt and be dishing out ridiculous prices to us. For what? angry angry

Actually! Nobody fuçking cares. We just really like labels. As long as one is clothed and dressed well, it is fine.

Better stay in your Lagos oh. I nor wan see your brakelight for my side.

I can totally relate to preferring online shopping from the comfort of your bed. Na my style be dat.. cheesy But clearing your to-do list and immersing yourself in the market experience sounds like a great way to spend the day sha..

I can understand why comfy shoes are a must grin The way women shop is quite different from how men do their shopping. Iffahear say I spend 2 hours for market. Arhhh wetin I dey buy? cheesy

It's unfortunate why we have to deal with inflated prices due to Yahoo boys really.

Haha, don't worry! I go dey my side na as you no wan see me embarassed embarassed grin

This government lacks emphaty. How will low income earner buy clothes? Besides, the quality of some of the okrika clothes are far better than the so called ready made clothes.

They want to make life bitter and not better.

They will never do anything that will make people smile.

Customs should better take their time.

Even abroad, there are thrift shops, really big ones where people go to buy gently used (second hand) items. Visit these places and you'll find that people from all walks of life patronize them.

Even celebrities buy used clothes.
Am not surprise . . . The black man was program to be wicked.

Nigeria economy is booming with lots of job and high salaries in their dictionary.

They should just tell us to start patronizing Zara and co clothing lines instead. grin

There's nothing wrong with trade liberalization.

The reason why you export is to have money to pay for your imports. We do not stock Martian pounds as we don't do business with Mars.

Trade liberalization forces countries to focus resources on things they are good at. You don't need to protect your economy from things you are good at. For instance, only a dumb person would import plantain into the country. Even if they do, plantain farmers won't be scared.

Countries do best when they focus resources on industries they have comparative advantage. For instance, crude oil has greatly benefitted the country. Imagine if the nation had fully developed it and was refining 3mbpd of crude oil, was the 2nd largest gas exporter after Algeria in Africa, was the logistic hub of the oil industry in Africa, had the largest indigenous oil servicing companies on the continent, how big do you think the GDP would be now?

Now imagine replicating that feat in 5 other industries? That's what Germany is renown for. There'll be this Mittelstand (medium size company) that will account for half of the global supply of a certain component in car batteries for instance-and you have hundreds of companies like these.

Liberalization enables you to enjoy the things produced in other countries competitively while they enjoy yours.
Liberalization with shitty discipline is nothing. In USA, the state of Detroit focuses on autos and do a good job in it but above all are backed by the federal govt and enjoy substantial financial intervention from the US govt if the need arises. Can we say that here? Intervention are mostly targeted at a small group of people and that's why tribes generally dominates specific industries. Example is trade and commerce, Igbo's or south easterner.

Haulage and agriculture, northerners.
