Alaigbo:
Every single person against the import tariff is from the East n Delta n maybe some deluded PDP. They know exactly what they are doing n it is all out of hate for Tinubu Yoruba n Apc, nothing else.

If you doubt me let them support removing import duties on cars since their argument is Nigerians will buy wherever it is cheaper, so we can see how well Innoson will do without govt backing sebi dem say govt no support them.

They will never support it bcosbtheir tribesmen Innoson is the only one in Nigeria enjoying the import tariff on cars.

=137351582]Nairaland is full of non intellectual comment.

The post is about cutting importation yet some comments are trying to disregard the post.
If only there is another site where reasonable comment can be found.
We cry of importing everything yet some want to label a move against it as rubbish.
How is Tax imposition that will hike up the cost of living and cost operation suppose to bring development

LOL ! you sound like someone that have eye but can't seee, Economics is a science i.e as you practice you learn nd evolve in approach

This approach of hiking Tariff have being on for long, We do it on Cars, Rice ... how as it changed anything
imported cars still flood our roads more than innoson or GAC, you can stand on the road to conduct sampling

Though it sounds good on paper we are promoting local Manufacturer But the fact remains Govt as not done enough for these measures to effectiively work

You want Nigerians to buy Innoson But the cheapest innoson is over 10million ... in a country over 180million are below poverty line nd minimum wage is 70k

You want Nigerian to buy innoson cars But Govt allot Foreign brand new car to themselves, how many innoson or GAC dey Tinubu convoy, his ministers n appointees is innoson there official car
You cant promote what you aint leading by example

You want Nigerian to eat local rice, do our farmers have capacity to meet demand, farm insecurity unresolved, not to mention our leaders even rebag foreign rice to share at campaign grounds

Govt that want to dissuade Fuel import continue to issue licenses to marketers, govt want to dissuade fuel import yet CBN announced sourcing forex to Marketers

When you understand All this point i highlighted with common $en$e you will see this govt is a complete joke ... forget all this elite jobbers on Tv speaking big grammar .. with just common $en$e Tinubu policies are always counterproductive in the real sense

Salewa97:
Nice one

Those who are interested in developing Nigeria will always support policies that are aimed at developing Nigeria

How is Tax imposition that will hike up the cost of living and cost operation suppose to bring development

Nigeria is a country of low income earners over 80% per cent are under the poverty, I hate it when govt make it seems the only way to development is punish the people with heavy taxes

Govt can support industrialization in many ways without Tax Tax, its ridiculous to say tax is the only way,
WHY not creat an MoU to guaranteee discounted crude price to local refinery ...

Govt can come with regulation to prioritize local refinery supply over imported into percentage

These is the same harvard dropout policy they implemented on rice, close boarder, increase import dury claiming they want to promote Rice Farmers, 9yrs down the line .have we stop importing Rice

Dangote cant meet out total demand for now,you cant possibly dissuade import ahead until we are sure of adequacy on local ground

Govt is stil giving licenses to marketers, nnpc still import and CBN is giving forex to marketers that a govt that want to dissuade "Import" Tinubu is just taken Nigerian for a ride

For now we have only ONE refinery, such Tax policy is almost to promote Monopoly, the next local refinery cant come up in the next 1yr
Tax marketers 30% they will still import fuel, cos the burden automatically goes to end consumer to pay....

Fore811002:
Guy US always have excuses to ripp you off your natural resources.When will you guys learn and it’s not as if it’s start trump will open its borders.You guys should wise up .Where was trump during END SARS ,American singly rescue their citizen from one kidnap operation and Nigeria was bleeding for this same issue then .it was same trump Government oo.The problem is once its start the masses always suffer .

US want to rip us off our resources is the least comcern of every Nigerians that dont have security or police guard following him around up north

Talking of " rip off " what are the politicians doing, its okay for few politicians to gather n share our resources, buys houses for there children n side chick abroad
I dont care if America touch our resource weytin masses dey benefit from govt, One thing is sure America will use our resources for common good than govt can ever do for Nigerians.

Informantng:
Invitation of Americans to destroy Nigeria by unpatriotic and uninformed elements.
Akin Loye
These are the usual suspects, among Nigerians, who lack patriotism in every ramification. They are it again, fanning the embers of destruction. Trying to drag Nigeria to the slab of destruction in a dangerous geopolitics that they don't understand. World Powers are not friends with anyone aside from their interests. They are only interested in the resources of target countries. Look at how they destroyed Syria, Iraq, Libya... and how they are pawning Ukraine against Russia. But you unpatriotic folks are there always gaslighting your government thinking the world powers will come and save you. Tueh. You make your money in Nigeria, but you so much hate Nigeria. What a hypocrite you are?!

You are right world power are nobody friend buh @least they prioritize there peoples lives

Your local powers are nobody friends either and they dont value Nigerians life one bit .... you see dem shouting on your mandate we shall stand for a presidency that as nothing to show for an achievement

why are they decamping is it not all about personal interest, we prefer america worst to Tinubu worst sho tan

allthingsgood:
US doest give a flying f*** about Christians in any country. Y'all should wake up

Maybe Us dont give a fvck about xtains, Your leaders you queue under the sun to elect do they give a fvck about the electorates

if bandit massacre your family like chicken this year, you think Tinubu will honor them 1min silence, you apc supporters no nothing because you are not the victims dem terrorist never carry female children rape back2back for a whole week

So you come online n trivialize everything all in the name of politics n stipends you hope to gain from these uselezz politicians you defend

allthingsgood:
It's funny how people who arent even exemplary Christians, people known for profanity, nudity and sexual immorality, are fighting to save phantom Christians they don't know anything about.
And some stupid Nigerians are acting all excited. Lol.

ode it beyond religion, its about placing value on human lives you cant relate becos those you asslick theeat you like a worthless piece of shit

jesus stood for a prostitute, walk with a prostitute, so the hell are you again to judge

Do i have to be a xtain to condemn genocide, fuull

God1000:
I think that was a hasty response from Nicky Minaj

Donald trump should mind his own business in America and leave us alone, the solution to Nigeria's problems will come from within, not from outside

You run to them for sweet loans, han indout to embezzle from time to time but when it comes to correction you remember we are sovereign state ...

We Nigerians are happy with Trump decision and fully in support,.... it is APc, Tinubu and all these old men that have being in power for ages that should leave Nigeria alone. kilode

If everything never scatter politically we can never ve free from these uselezz old men holding Nigeria captive

FG have the list of terrorist sponspors for years ... they rather be chasing yahoo boiz or EndSARS sponsors upandan, awon were

Sonnobax15:

Terrorists and their sympathizers nyash go just dey vibrate anytime Dem hear trump name .

They keep saying Nigeria is a sovereign state,like say mexico no be sovereign state too .

Trump no be their papa mate at all .

when they run abroad to beggy beggy for loans like almajaris dem no remember " sovereign state"

world bank dictate morbid policies to our leaders in exchange for loan, dem no remember sovereign

America invasion threatens their relevance they scream sovereign state ... i just hope Tinubu as phone to read Nigerians joy at this time ... the hate is mutual no peace for the wicked

NaijaHelper1:
Funny how they're so quick to meet over a threat to their power but so lackadaisical over the plight of the people they forced themselves into power to govern.

You think if bandits n terrorist start to attack oil pipelines you think Govt will feign helpless

one thing our leaders don't value is human lives, you can see Tinubu urchins arguing its not xtain genocide it is general market .. then you imagine how dafttt can people be

General market is better than xtain genocide

Itiskdg121:
Wonderful.

You wonder how citizens of a country are been killed on a daily basis and the president would not deem it fit to address the nation on the killings with a lasting solution. Very wicked and soulless humans in government.

I wish it's Netanyahu and not Trump.

As in !!! outsiders look at Us like lunatics, people are massacre for no reason on a daily basis and the president travels on "working - vacation"

Trump just had to speak out thank god for his nature its apalling watching governor sit with bandits negiotating nd feasting , whereas victims can not even come close to governor ... security will beat shege for there body

Honestly Tinubu fall hands, a complete disgrace

Jayhome24:
You are just too noisy.

We are challenging you since yesterday to bring your Trump and his army to Nigeria if dem born am well. That is all we are saying.

You dont have to challenge us, you are helpless to fight ordinary bandit naa US navy una wan face i don forget una get Mc oliomo n oshodi thugs


Go n check Trump records, when he threatens you know he will do it ... how i wish the airstrike starts from Aso rock to national assembly those ones have destroyed this country more than terrorists

seborrhic:
Why I find it fuñny is that a whole government of Nigeria does not yet understand the seriousness of the matter at hand.
This is Trump,an unusual kind of American president and people in goverment are busy putting out nonsensical denials.
Even if the genocide claim is not true,you actively engage those in the US,humour Trump with acknowledgement of his co cerns, praxtical steps being taken and promises to do more.
Otherwise,the man will feel disrespected and bombs will start flying!

What we have are dummies at the elms of affairs, whats the point of trying to convince trump it is not xtain genocide but general genocide nii ... is that what's plausible

8yrs Trump queried Buhari about the killing ... it as even escalated so bad now instead of govt to sit up and take decisive actions that will resonate " Lives Matter" they are busy denouncing the genocide naa " General Market"

Jayhome24:
Really, wnder shall never end so Kemi now intelligent and bold woman, same Kemi you insurlted her papa mama for throwing shade on your tribe calling rather tribalist some months ago?

Na wah oo.

Tnubu is not even interested in meeting Trump that is just the truth and Tinubu won't meet Trump take it or leave it he won't. So o your worst.

Same Kemi that was insulting christain up and down, rubbishing Adeboye, Oyedepo, Kumuyi, Bishop Okoro,Ibiyiome etc anyhow suddenly turn christain advocate now ba?

lol !! as Seyi tinubu wey you be, You think naa peer parlor newspapers carry am Tinubu want to meet Trump

The report is on credible sources, check no peace for the wicked ni agbara olohun eni ku rè

https://saharareporters.com/2025/11/03/breaking-tinubus-us-trip-aborted-attend-g-20-meeting-south-africa-discuss-trump

kayceelol:
Meeting Tinubu or not America's not welcome
Those rogues wants to use religious genocide to invade and cause havoc like thw did in Libya Syria and others

America dont need your welcome, there envoys were here to conduct proper investigation on xtain genocides they visited states up north

On Trump desk he properly knows more about Nigerian terrorism that you agbadorian on 30k allowee, you are in lagos massacre no reach your papa n loved ... you can stand here n stay we dont need help

Governors are going to negotiate with Bandit, is that not the height of helplessness we have ever seen

Elusive001:
Have you not noticed that most supporters of tinibu actually like the insecurity in the country? Have you not noticed that they are joyful over the hardship, killings, rapes, kidnappings, etc going on? Don't you see them take a position that the USA should not intervene?

My worry is not even Tinubu supporters My concern is those " Elites" " Socialites" that were quiet all along ... 8yrs ago Trump queried Buhari in Us why so much killing of xtains .. then buhari denied playing politics

8 whole yrs Trump is back, We now have governors sitting with wanted bandits taking pictures, having food n drinks yle those displaced are wasting away in IDP, poor care, poor feeding .. no toilet no bathroom

Shouldnt we be Ashamed as a country, then one ediot will climb pulpit and tell us he is concerned about US sudden love for Nigeria

Some sychos just wake up ride bikes into villages nd massacre people, kids, pregnant women, that one no bother you But naa US interest be problem

lnstead of govt trying to convince Trump its both Muslims n xtains killed why not channel energy and decisive effort into going after bandits .. operation python dance whatever , heat up the fight thats logical way to convince Trump not denouncing

not some nunsense talk Nigeria is a sovereign state, beggy beggy for loan claiming sovereign to people giving us handout ...

BreconHills:
Like others you are misreading the text- what Tinubu is receiving is carte blanche to take off the gloves and go full steam against the terrorists with no human rights considerations.

The US will also likely voice its concerns at Chinas level of involvement in Nigeria and may request a base in the North to police the Sahel.

Everyone is reading the blazing headlines and ignoring the script. No country advertises invading another country - leverage is the desired end.

Simple.

what script, as a Nigerian whats the worst that can happen,

Bro the worst america can do is tap some of our resources, thats nothing compared to the daily lost of lives n property Govt is feigning helpless to

I rather go with America dare devil that be on same bus with Tinubu n leaders of this world.

tundegan:
No problem. Nigeria is a sovereign nation and we engage with the world at our own pace and terms.

lolzz see yeye talk, so there was an intention to speak with Trump


Trump downgrade emi lokan that's so prideful of himself, go n speak to my VICE

More Int"l shame to Tinubu govt we pray, very shameless set of people turned our great nation to amala politics

SmartPolician:
Everyone should be punished at the same time. Your whataboutism won't work here. That's why it's a government - MDAs are structured to address issues simultaneously.

i am realist, so lets face the fact do we have the resources and Man power to punish at the same time ... i reason beyond conventional pre talk, you just want to sound politically correct but i prefer " feasibility"

You are politically correct But also be sensitized, humans/govt must work with "prioritization" ... for effective handling and resolutions

We see Govt flex muscle on protesters than We ever see Govt exhibit around bandits .. misplaced priorities

People die in 100s in Benue took Tinubu 1week to visit benue, Trump issue statemment 2days ago Tinubu is off to America instead of taking critical steps .. misplaced priorities

SmartPolician:
There should be a stringent that will punish people who spread fake news.

1st punish terrorist , bandits and herdsmen ravaging the country, Uncle get your priorities right 1st

PulaPower:
Something wey we know..

It’s one of the reasons why I’m yet to say a word regarding it..

Tinubu going to USA to do what?

Mtchew..

Be here fuuling yourself should America invade Nigeria there is nothing your uselezz president can do ... they are super power, serious minded people who place value on life

what your uselezz president only care nd think about is politics, he plays politics with everything

Tinubu can liasion with boko haram n bandit if they endorse his 2nd term ..

odejimioflagos:
Oba Akiolu is a wise king.

I like the fact that he is calling out Trump for the misleading info about Nigeria. We are a peaceful nation and coexistence between Christians and Muslims is at an all-time high.

So your king suddenly found his voice, All this yle people weere slaughtered like fowls this uselezz old men did nothing But now help is on the way for common Nigerians they found therw voices to commonize genocide

We know both muslims n xtain are killed, if America want to see it as xtain genocide to " ACT" by does it bother some people so much,
If terrorism nd bandits are eradicated is it not secure environment for All, will muslims be exempt from safe community

i see people demonizing America, they will take our oil, take our women, take ph refinery all manner of nonsense ... as a Nigerian do we have truly have access to oil money, as a Nigerian do you truly have access to refinery benefit

The only thing we enjoy from govt is subsidy n they remove it, why should i be worried if America take our resources, when they no take am weytin i benefit, what are you benefitting from govt, 2k vote buy, 2kg rice is that it ... America can have it, @least they put it into world use, than our politicians stealing to lavish

Dalohad:
Oga fake pastor, US generates 18 million barrels of crude while Nigeria generates less than 2 million barrels. They even supply Dangote refinery

What do they need your Oil for?

You know when they talk, they assume all Nigerians are gullible, all these socialite you see are friends with Tinubu they get benefits, favours at Ease

When terrorist were killing people every day do you see them talk, where was he

All Pastors that kept quiet when Bandit were having a field day should please stay quiet, America worst to Nigerians will be far better than what Tinubu nd APC have in stock for us

Savenigeria2023:
Who cares?

What is Tinubu and the wicked politician’s interest in Nigeria?

Please ask them ooo !! infant let Trump interest be to pack our women nd wife them we dont mind

There is no how you want to demonize America or Trump that We can't proof beyond doubts our Leaders have done Worst to Us

i see people citing Us intervention have never help any country, But All these countries US intervention did not work are extremist and inexpose environment

You cant compare Nigeria with iraq, afghanistan, libya nd co. Nigeria is a open nation, we are spotlight to many Nation so America cant deviate in their mission in Nigeria because they would easily be exposed

Iraq, afghanistan are not socialite, they are restricted people so it is easy for America do mess with their resources ... Nigerians we go cast asap, world go see America soldiers stealing iron to sell to aboki as scrap

odejimioflagos:
President Tinubu is a man of honor and integrity. He knows the game and won't be easily swayed by the antics of foreign leaders.

Trump is still a friend of Nigeria and we appreciate that.

Are you a comedian how can you put Tinubu in the same sentences with honor and integrity

have you seen a thug or Agbero that has integrity/honor ... if you listen to Tinubu's talks in private his tone, you will realize that man is not different from thugs/Agberos on the road, naa wealth covers him up

Nigerians please lets cease the Moment to beg US now to back down, these politician and govt of the day have zero integrity or will to ever do right by Nigerians


US sanction them, take them down, we are worthless to our leaders We want them to know they are worthless to us as well

Kemetian:
I asked AI

''What is the total gun death toll of america in last 5 years?''

.................

Here are the recent figures on annual gun-related deaths in the United States:

In 2021 the total was 48,830.

In 2022 the provisional total was 48,117.

In 2023 the total was about 46,728.

Using the 5-year average (2019-2023) of about 45,738 deaths per year.
Everytown Research & Policy

So over the last 5 years (≈ 2019-2023) that implies approximately: 45,738 × 5 ≈ 228,690 gun-related deaths in total.

AI

Well nothing can surprise US again, APC and there supporters are just sick people,

Is US not a xtain state, even though US have its insecurity challenge cos of right to ammunition .... however 90% of these homicide cases are met with severity and the culprits are prosecuted

it is plainly Fuulishness to think you can compare Us with Nigeria, those killed in US get justice or there chances to get justice is 90%

But in Nigeria those displace by bandits terrorist are suffering n begging to feed, the culprits are sitting at round tables with govt taking pictures and getting allowances .. thats what you want to defend you see you must be very sick in the head

buckeyemedia:
You better go & apply for American visa, because no one is coming to the zoo to save u.

The same people selling arms to the bandits are coming to save u?

Really really sorry for the black man, Fela Kuti will be rolling in his tomb.

Chai, this country no get hope.

Bring your prove America is selling arms to bandits nd terrorist we are toddlers here, shutup and stop this show of shame

Why as Tinubu refuse to go after the names on the list of terrorism sponspor, they had the list n did nothing because its Politics

They do stuwped things and coat it as politics ...people lives dont matter

popp:
Who are the election losers that would welcome the US invasion.

And who are the govt ass licker/sycophants that will stop US invasion should trump go ahead .. Mc oluomo , tompolo and wike abi

Una head go soon correct

ybalogs:
Trump and putting his smelling nose where it doesn't concern him. This time,his nose will be cut off. Anuofia

If not that you are sick in the head or something, are you happy about the state of the nation, you cant travel freely, people get hacked to death in their sleep for nothing, so many families have being shattered cos of bandit and your leaders go about shining teeth, singing on your mandate

Even if you people no get zero shamelezz shut the hell up, Bandits now come out to take pictures post on social media, get invited to governors meetings what could more dangerous precedents

Tinubu just come n turned everything to Amala politics, politics has overruled common sense, anything goes. We are a disgrace just as Trump said

Kastonkastroll:
Well this is a good start atleast that egoistic Trump will cool his head down a bit. But in all if this, I expected AU to convey an emergency meeting and issue a very strong statement to USA but reverse is the case.

So one begins to wonder the usefulness of AU if Nigeria can be intimidated by Trump and no single statement from the union. Maybe we should begin to reconsider our membership.

Well this is time for unity among Nigerians irrespective of political or religious divide. We shouldn't allow one clown in faraway USA threaten our sovereignty!

its only a good start for Nigerians not APC/Tinubu becos that presidency sit will only get hotter from now
Trump as shown interest in Nigeria, thats good news for Nigerians to expose Tinubu government atrocities out more, we go they tag Trump back to back

AU ko Zariah nii, Even UN is under US influence and direction, You AU are stuwpid to support genocide in Nigeria, we are not at War yet death score everyday is more than Russia ukraine war

The truth is we have a very Wicked hearted Leadders, all they care about is just there interest and politics, Nigerians must cease this opportunity with Trump lets tagg him more on social to Tinubu incompetence

Goodnews America dont like like druglords, our 911 should Trump now

ebukal67x:
No threat to sovereignty can be entertained, even if its a mere blip on the radar.

Trump threat is to terrorism not our sovereignty, indian wants went on a rescue mission to free there citizen, it was done in way people didnt even know, 24hrs they are in and out

IF our leaders are so helpless truly like they claim, why are they jittery Trump wants to eliminate terrorist for us, Free of charge ooo !
we should be happy help as come, shebi bandits are too powerful for Nigeria army n FG then let Big bro America help let's see if bandits are as powerful as govt makes them appear

saintneo:
Why the downgrade?

It should be president to president.

Tinubu dont deserve to meet Trump, he as being a disgrace

Trump dont like Tinubu, and we know why America doesn't tolerate druggies
