President Bola Tinubu has directed the opening of Nigeria's land and air borders with the Republic of Niger and the lifting of other sanctions against the country with immediate effect.

(1) Closure of land and air borders between Nigeria and Niger Republic, as well as ECOWAS no-fly zone on all commercial flights to and from Niger Republic.

(2) Suspension of all commercial and financial transactions between Nigeria and Niger, as well as freeze of all service transactions, including utility services and electricity to Niger Republic.

(3) Freeze of assets of the Republic of Niger in ECOWAS Central Banks and freeze of assets of the Republic of Niger, state enterprises, and parastatals in commercial banks.

(4) Suspension of Niger from all financial assistance and transactions with all financial institutions, particularly EBID and BOAD.

(5) Travel bans on government officials and their family members.

Better. There no country anywhere, so better not kill yourself bottling people up. Open everything and forget what's happening in Niger and other countries.

Believe this rubbish propaganda at your own peril.

Instead of the werèy okpolo eyes to open all boarders for importation of goods into the country to ease hardship, the clown is busy doing something irrelevant.

Na now una eye clear. That stupid man buhari that does not have anything inside his head closed the borders. Why will you close borders when your producing power is very very low.

Allow the borders opened but monitored alongside our low producing power and let it continue that way till we are strong enough to produce in a quantity that will take care of over 200 million Nigerians, simple.

Besides they said Buharis administration sold our crude oil in advance and collected the money, where is the money and what was it used for?

If I were the president I would arrest Buhari with immediate effect. Not as president but as the minister of petroleum, he needs to explain what happened.

Perfect plan...we will ship NIGER Foods from Niger State to all parts of the country, and we will also export to neighboring countries bringing in Forex.
