They don’t use Nigerian ports that much anyways
They are a major smuggling route for goods coming into nigeria from Cotonou

How about the railway Bubu built for them?

Nigeria is the biggest market in the region. Close our Border with Cotonou against goods. Except human movement. Leave Lekki Port available for them.

If they do not come through there, some other importers will use it. We did not build the port to become weak to some poor neighbors.

Which of them we dey supply Nepa light to?
Abeg make dem disconnect them and add to our grid, I no see reason why they will have light and me wey dey pay bill monthly no see light use

calm down master , this wouldn't make you get sufficient electricity

We don't need such rubbish country again.

Fuckin insignificant, they should beg Algeria or beg sudan. This obviously will surely cause inflation to look like a little puppy.

May dump? That is thru are not even ready to dump

Let them abandon it. They are one of the reasons why Northerners have refused to restructure the country. Let go to Benin republic.

BigBlackPreek:
Due to the Nigerian government poor system of governance and unfavourable conditions I guess.

Thus country has gone to the dogs indeed and only God can redeem the whole system

You read am at all, 😂😂
Nuisance

Hotice085:


And so, how much do they give to Benin Republic an ECOWAS country compare to what chicken feed Nigeria business men give to Benin Republic?

Niger Mali Burkina faso will cry when all the ECOWAS countries slam them and their illegals citizens in ECOWAS countries

Have you heard of Morocco? It is a country in North Africa. It has ports...

It is incredible how uninformed you guys are, Niger Republic and it's allies in the region will be using Moroccan ports.
Is Morocco part of ECOWAS ?

aspabay:
This man doesn’t know what he is saying.

Is Coutonu not part of ECOWAS?

I weak self. Niger may....lol....I blame the useless newspaper sha.

pocom16:


What difference does it make..

They leave Nigerian ports to become dependent on Benin republic

At least they can negotiate intelligent deals that covers the modern scope of activities. Not the obsolete deals negotiated by our either greedy or ignorant forefathers. Eg, the Nigerian crude oil already sold out many generations ahead.

They can use North African ports and transport it through the Sahara desert.

Austindark:
More woos for us

I like their idea. Any well meaning country must not be too dependent on another country.
That thing dey cause see finish.

It might be expensive at first for them, but in the long run it will pay off and they will have their self respect.

There’s no woos for us. The woos are for them. Think rationally, this boy. Don’t just comment here to gain some likes from none.ntities like you.

The 3 countries do not have sea ports. They rely on other ECOWAS countries at our West African coast lines for their sea imports. Don’t forget that sea importation is the cheapest means of international transportation.

The 3 ceding countries would, either create their own artificial seaports within their zones, or do their imports via air, or go to Northern African ports like Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt to clear their shipments which is far compared to southern seaports they have always used before. They can also use Senegal route too.
So, stopping importation through South is an own goal for them. All their import is less than imports of 2 states in Nigeria.

.

Far from where ? Morocco has given them rights to use its seaports and they are happy with Morocco. You don't seem to realize that ECOWAS under Tinubu's leadership made using its seaports a big headache for these countries under ECOWAS sanctions and under military threat from ECOWAS.
They found a solution and you call it an "own goal" 😂
You refuse to sell food to me, I go somewhere else to buy and you say I scored an own goal ?
How about you just lost my business ?🤣

Nigerians like you will call someone "brother" and procede to ruin that person. That is why nobody wants to be your brother.

Is Benin Republic not part of ECOWAS?
If they like let them import through Johannesburg port. They're are the biggest loser.

Nigerien military was ready for war. Tinubu doesn't know diplomacy, he thought is Owo mida approach were dimwit touts will be screaming ah ah ah ah ah ah

USA and france were ready to support Nigeria military with aids and weapon. We would have been on advantage with advance weapons and upgraded military to even fight terrorist. Na una no even sabi the game

Oh, all it would have taken was turning your "brother" back to the chains...
You guys are a cancer to Africa.
Nothing you will touch will ever flourish.
You will only leave a trail of destruction as inheritance for your kids.

aspabay:
It will only make importation costly for them.

They loose.

They didn't. We're the one losing. Are you aware that Benin has lifted suspension on imported goods transiting to Niger? And it's even cheaper to import from Benin?

Marvieduke:


So Niger na better investor to you abi?

Wait and see..

Stoplying:

Morocco is not part of ECOWAS.

Is it economical for them (Niger, Mali & Burkinafaso) to import through Morocco? Head or tail, they are the biggest losers.

Brothers? Taaa

Brothers who are kidnapping us, killing and maiming you people every day in the bush.

You called those ones our brothers

Don't forget, River Niger on which Kanji Hydro power station sat on past through Niger.

The country can as build hydro dam on it, which imply less water flow to Kanji dam.

There's reason it was collective agreed to have the hydro build at on section of the River Niger.

River Niger span more than 4 countries and each country can not be allowed to build dam on it course.

I do not know if it is more economical for those countries and neither do you. But look at this in this angle: A is a cheap doctor and B is an expensive doctor, A refused to treat your illness and B accepts to treat your illness. What would you do...?
ECOWAS ports are not worth the trouble.
These three countries chose what is best for them and ECOWAS ports didn't fit the criteria. Now move on and stop talking about "own goal", you lost their business, it's over ! The "own goal" was on yourself when your president decided to threaten and sanction these countries.

vanbonattel:


Stopped by who?

Be like say you want someone impeached next month.

Tactical stopage in form of non allocation of funds for the contractor. Or sponsorship of saboteur to blow off strategic areas of the rail line; then set up instigation panel that will not finished investigation till the end of first term.

May be you think you're talking about some super economy countries here? Niger & Mali are on verge of becoming a failed country. They need ECOWAS more than the other way round. It's a matter of time, Russia and China that are deceiving and giving them false confidence will sooner than later show them their true color.

Dude, they have a lot of ressources.
The reason why they are poor is the fact that my a country was exploiting them.
They fought for their freedom and sovereignty, and you their brother decided to stab them in the back.
Their economic future is not going to look anything like their past.
You Nigeria, you've lost all credibility, African nations would rather deal with south Africa while you continue your path to irrelevance and total loss of sovereignty to the west.

Soon enough, no country will deal with you directly, they will cut deals with the west, you will only have to fulfill those deals. That is the life of a slave. Get used to it.

That was what people like you thought when you cut-off their electricity supply. Today they have more stable electricity than your darling country.
Start thinking outside the box bro. Who needs importation, when the domestic production is sufficient.
When they get everything right, Nigeria will even start begging them to export to us. Since in Nigeria, the only thing you think of is import this and that.
