We tried doing it in Osun State in 2020, but coronavirus lockdown, heavy tax by Buhari, no electricity having to spend huge amount on diesel killed the business

Olaoluwa112:
Very unserious country blessed with useless citizens and leaders.

Imagine what's topping our importation list. I think the govt should ban the importation of unnecessary things like human hair, creams and the likes.
I know very well that we can survive without those nonsense materials.

Top imports from China to Nigeria are synthetic filament yarn woven fabric valued at $160 million; pesticides, $84.1million; non-knit women’s suits, $81.5 million; telephones, $67.2 million and fake hair, $59 million. It was learnt that none of the textile company have started production since Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intervention.

Aside from telephones, I doubt there’s any other thing Nigeria isn’t producing. But our peoples anything foreign is good mentality isn’t helping our local production at all..

95% of Human hair, Brazilian hair, wey una Dey see for Nigeria are fakes! Original Brazilian hair is highly cost. So instead of importing a fake hair from China, why not kuku buy Nigeria made?

Nigeria is one of the largest customers of China when it comes to selling fake things! I really don’t know what to call it - maybe low self esteem or we want to belong kind of thing..

As long as Nigerians are not ready to change, believe me, the kind of Nigeria we all want won’t happen!

It may reduce but won't stop it. For decades luxury mint cars have been on 100% duties

Ban it for a year and let's see if life won't go on

this are the things this govt ought to have addressed the very moment they got into power, with this statistics we know the market for these products is here, and they aren't that difficult imagine the nation generating almost 2 billion dollars from these things, they can also be exported to other west African nations and others, because I suppose they are also importing these things, well if you have an organization or access to the govt you guys can try and lobby them to look into your business to see if they can collaborate.

alpharoyalty:
I hope they will not start blaming ibos

frowland:


Ban will encourage smuggling and loss of revenue through black market, best is to jack up the duty even to 100%. Let it full under luxury items. If you decide to import then that’s a huge revenue to the govt. win win.

No one ever reimbursed me and my colleagues for the huge amount we spent in the failed business venture

Jack up duty, cost of goods will go up because marketers must make back their money.

They will add it when selling to customers.
Final consumers will be the ones to suffer

Talking about human hair and attachments. How is that any of our problems? Anyone who wants to buy such luxuries should be ready to pay for it.

I meet a tailor that's sews cloth in Aba. Ask him how much he will see already made shirt and trouser for me. He will tell you ₦25,000 but I go to China and see almost same quality of shirt and trouser cheaper that here in Nigeria.......

Please tell me why I will buy it in Nigeria when I can get 2 of it in china and still send it down here for a little shipping fee ......


China that produces cloths on large scale, do there people buy them very expensive there in china?

They do not buy here in Nigeria you see a shirt and trouser for 25k and you expect me to buy from you.

Let us start from those people sewing already made cloths here in Nigeria first .....

Now go to Yaba and see those who are sewing Nigerian made t-shirts and joggers.... Give them what you need them to do for you. I stead of them to take there time to give you what you want, they just sew rubbish in the name of mass production and give you......

I have stopped patronising anyone that says they sell t-shirts made in Nigeria because it will end in regret.......

God1000:
I cry for my country

How can any sane and patriotic person import fake and substandard goods worth millions of dollars into the country if not for some vested interest involved.

We only hear about budget presentation in Nigeria, the rest is shenanigans and stories.

kiddkash:

Cost of production is cheap in China.
They have technologies that will do it almost instantly and low wage plus stable electricity.
We don't have it in Nigeria. So cost of production is high but ignorant people open their mouth and speak a lot of rubbish

kiddkash:

Government officials asked for huge amount in bribes even after the huge amount that have been washed down the drain.
They don't care, only want to line up their pockets.
If I show you our books, ledgers of the huge amount we spent, you will pity me and my colleagues. I will rather not say the amount here, before beggars crew would arrive

Shattuck:
damn the level of corruption in Nigeria, they keep killing the nation for their own selfish gains, maybe you can look at other African nations if you still want to setup the business and then you can export to Nigeria.

Chetas81:
The fake citizen only love fake things, second hands clothes everywhere, Nigerian citizen will visit war zone to pick dead man clothes, to sell for the citizen, who don't believe manufacturing, their own things 😜✍️
