Nah Yoruba law Chinese people dey use operate or Nigeria law?

Nah only Chinese people dey Yoruba land ? What about the middle-easy, Europeans, Americans, Italians, Spanish? They do all sell retails too… Wetin make we do to them?

Which law have the Chinese retailers broken ?

And are you the only tribe in Nigeria ?

Why are you crying ?

Tenses:
These trade have their connect in China but other logistics and overhead cost shoots the final price up.


The same thing they do with your tinubu government. They give tinubu loan and still supply raw materials and labour too.

Don't care

I want the baby and not the labour pains

If the Chinese can ship goods from China at a cheaper price , I am patronising them.

This thread is going to show your true colours that you are a very big liar.

The construction and dualization of the Sagamu–Ore–Benin Expressway (the core of the Lagos–Benin route) was actually executed in the 1970s under the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo, not the Shagari administration.

https://dailytrust.com/a-recent-history-of-your-sagamu-benin-road/

So?

That means we didn't have a problem of bad roads as that highway was on good condition.

Baxilexi:
So basically repeated what I said.

The Shia should leave Saudi alone. The IRGC is raising an army right on their southern border and you want them to make peace? How?

Must the Sunnahs operate the Shiite way? There’s a Shiite jihad aka axis of resistance and the house of Saud will do all in its power to stop it.

The British and Zionists who propped up Ibn Saud told him to declare himself king for a reason so as to maintain direct automatic successors from his bloodline.

They knew that as a Jihadist if Ibn Saud declared himself as a spiritual leader his bloodline will not have automatic rights to power after he is gone.

And knowing that this will portend unforeseen future diplomatic shifts between the West and the Saudis if a radicalized anti western theorocracy arises in future , the British and Zionists urged Ibn Saud to declare himself as king

The British borrowed the Fulani script and handed it to Ibn Saud

malcom1X:
Lies. Shagari was having problems maintaining roads in the country. So he wanted a direct route that could take goods there to the east without long hauls that will destroy roads. And save the country billions in road maintenance.

He created the National transportation master plan.

It was under Shagari that the Lagos -Benin highway was dualized .

Try another lie.

The Onitsha port initiative was to divert imports that was planned ahead to flood the markets so as to transform Onitsha to Nigeria's main economic hub.

It failed woefully because of the high silt content of the river Niger estuary and because Onitsha was a one way port catering only to imports unlike Lagos Wharf that was handling exports from across SW and northern Nigeria.

anonimi:
Did China become an industrial and economic powerhouse by having a free market for importers?

How do you guys reason needs to be studied.

You are importing from China and selling at a high marked up price than the Chinese retailers and you are telling us this must be protected from competition ?

Are you normal at all?

Tenses:
The Chinese retailing in Nigeria might not be the manufacturer but they have certain advantages than the average Nigerian traders .

These Chinese sell cheaper than the traders. That should say something.

Business is all about having an edge.

We are not going to offer protectionist policies to you because you don't produce the goods and you sell even far higher than the Chinese retailers.

Go and establish your own connect in china if you want to compete.

Baxilexi:
You need the education my friend.
Saudi supports the internationally recognized government in Yemen. Iran supports the Houthis.
The Saudis are not comfortable with the IRGC putting Shia militias at its border.

How you guys are proudly ignorant beats my imagination. Do you ever wish to use this platform to actually learn?

There is a sizeable Shia minority in Saudi Arabia and their ancestral lands are to the SE of that country where all the oil reserves are located.

The Saudis have been oppressing their Shia minority ever since the kingdom was formed .

The Saudi royals see the Shia Muslims as the number 1 opposition to their rule because the Shias advocate for the abolition of monarchies which they say is not compatible with islamic religion.

This is why all Fulani monarch's on Nigeria were united in dislodging the Shiite movement led by El Zackzacky.

The Saudi royals see Shiites as a threat to their power.

malcom1X:
Under the 1979 Constitution, executive power rested with the President. Executive bodies, such as the Federal Ministry of Industries and the Ministry of Commerce, directly managed import licenses and industrial regulations.

And these bodies were headed by northerners.

My friend, Alex Ekwenme as VP headed the Presidential Economic Team and his policies liberalised imports to the detriment of local manufacturing.

CalabarSamurai:
No need to protest, by the time the Chinese are done with the short-sighted so-called sons of the soil, they will call them back.

So we should allow you guys to be ripping us off?

Tenses:
I no like to dey discuss with tinubu people.

See a manufacturer manufactured a product outside your country but comes to your country to retail it, yet you see nothing wrong with it.

And?

Is there any law that says as a Chinese citizen residing in Nigeria with a business visa can not engage in retail ventures?


So because the retailers are Chinese means they are the ones producing the goods in china ?

You no get talk abeg.

malcom1X:
No one is talking about Babangida Structural Adjustment programme that destroyed manufacturing.

SAP was an austerity policy and it banned importation of wide variety of goods .


It was meant to save local industries and reverse the failed Ekwenme policies.

malcom1X:
This was 1979 with a different constitution.

And besides when Buhari carried out a coup he was investigated and they checked that he wasn't corrupt and was let go.

Talk another story

1999 constitution still embodies the tenets of the 1979 document.

saintkel:
supported....I want Chinese to take over too....hope u r happy now?

Then tell your brothers to stop protesting against Chinese retailers at Trade Fare Complex.

motymop:
Because of tribal differences una no dey see the big picture.

The Chinese will displace the remaining Yoruba, the kwara in building material and both the igbo and floor the market with low quality products

They are looking for new market, if you allow them to occupy the market then we are done for as a nation

They can also form their own mafai and increase price like anybody else

Just as you guys displaced the Yoruba traders with your unwholesome practices.

malcom1X:
How can a vice President to President Shehu Shagari have the constitutional power to "single-handedly" orchestrate national economic or industrial destruction. Under the 1979 Constitution, executive authority rested firmly with the President and the Federal Executive Council.
Una dey spew rubbish for this nairaland.

It dey like say I go leave this nairaland for una

The VP , by virtue of the constitution, heads Nigeria's Presidential Economic Team .

Policies and advisories stem from the Presidential Economic Team headed by the VP.

DatNiggaDaz:


They will soon ask them Cjinese to go back to their villages

The only people demanding the Chinese shops be shutdown are your brothers at Trade Fare complex.

saintkel:
supported..so that no one will blame d Igbos again tomorrow....I hope they don't take ur
lands with it too

Go and secure farm land in your village forest because the Chinese have taken over and we will be patronising them going forward.

Biodun556:
The Chinese must be allowed to settle down and do business

I welcome the Chinese to set up retail outlet business in Nigeria.

I remember how some Ibo guys broke into a Chinese businessman's warehouse in China town , Lagos and stole shoes


According to the arrested suspects , they said they stole the Chinese businessman's goods because he was selling cheaper than them.

See excuse .

oglalasioux:
Watch your blood pressure from time to time. Your campaign against Igbos in everything will be disastrous to your health.

The reason you guys are against Tinubu's reforms is because he floated the naira which inadvertently has slowed down imports.


Any President who discourages importation and promotes local production , is an enemy of the Ibo.

And the most annoying thing is that your region contributes next to nothing in FX earnings but are the ones calling for subsidized FX that will go into imports that will further drain our FX reserves and see to total deindustrialization .


I wonder how you guys will sustain such a model in your Biafra ?

How will your govt pay for imported goods when you export nothing ?

Baxilexi:
Was! And yes they’re reforming, but do you deny that’s why they’re hated now?
I am personally a fan of MBS reforms, neom city, relaxing religious themes killings, increasing the rights of women. Now Saudi women can travel without male consort.

The Muslim brotherhood and its proxies have an apocalyptic vision of the world and the GCC doesn’t want to be a part of it. Tell the Shia to leave the Sunnis alone, they have different world views.

Have you asked why the Saudis are fighting the Houthis ?

The Saudis have spent upwards of a trillion dollars fighting Houthis these past 20ys.

Go and educate yourself why the Saudis are fighting Houthis these past 2 decades.

Biodun556:
Thank you for the info

The river port in Onitsha is testament to how Ekwenme wanted to divert Nigeria's economic hub away from the SW to his SE.

It failed woefully .

If that port could function , I tell you that they won't be in Lagos .

oglalasioux:
Some people will blame the Igbos for not being able to satisfy their wives.

Ibos are the major problem behind Nigeria's low industrialization.

malcom1X:
Everyone is going to lose their jobs.
The Chinese will take over everything.

Whether Igbo or Yoruba or Hausa or the fourth largest tribe the Ijaws.

You will lose your jobs because the Chinese will make it cheaper.
You don't need to go to China anymore to buy spare parts. Not only spare parts. Other goods.

The Chinese are right at your doorstep.

Alex Ekwenme supervised the deliberate deindustrialization of Nigeria because he wasn't happy that Nigeria's industrial base was clustered around the SW.

Ekwenme is the one you should thank for why your people have come to dominate the retail sector and he did it out of pure spite for the SW and to get his people to dominate the import and retail sector.

Ekwenme single handedly destroyed hundreds of industries and oversaw job losses .

The reason we have a high unemployment rate is because of Ekwenme and your import racket.

Baxilexi:
Let’s say you’re right. Why do other Muslim countries take it upon themselves to interfere in Saudi geopolitics. Saudi is a sovereign nation that has chosen to move away from orthodox Islam, same as the other gulf nations.

The Shia should enjoy their whips and body mutilation in peace.

Saudis are the number 1 exporter and sponsors of radical Islamist terrorist organisations.

You don't have a clue on what you are spewing.

As per Saudi reforming itself , this is just a recent development under the current crown prince and the only reform he has produced is the right for women to drive.

Biodun556:
While people of Kwara state focused on building materials, the people of Ibadan and Ijebus dominated spare parts and vehicle business in Lagos decades ago.

The Yorubas were displaced by the Igbos market strategy which involved selling cheap products, offering alternatives to original products.

The only place where Yorubas still have influence in spare part business is Owode Onirin. All other places selling spare parts in Lagos are dominated by the Igbos .

Now, that the Chinese have arrived. They should be allowed to set up there shops and offer alternatives to Nigerians.

Or the Lagos State Government should establish Chinese auto spare parts markets separate from the ones dominated by the Igbos.

It is down to Alex Ekwenme who liberalised imports.

Ibos had positioned themselves earlier by having links in Taiwan for fake spare parts.

Ekwenme also ensured that duties on imported spare parts was zero.

This killed the Yoruba dominance in spare parts business as the Yorubas were sourcing from local manufacturing hubs.

Cheaper and fake spare parts imported from Taiwan drove the Yorubas out of business and then their local suppliers.

Ekwenme was so invested in destroying local production concentrated in the SW that he even convinced Shagari to build a river port in Onitsha to divert imports from Lagos directly to Onitsha.

Instead of expanding sea ports in the SS , Ekwenme wasted money building a useless one way port at Onitsha that has never functioned because the river route can not handle vessels with large hauls thereby making it more expensive to ship goods from abroad using smaller vessels.

Note also that Onitsha port was designed exclusively to handle imports which makes it even more expensive to use by shipping companies because when they make port calls, they are only offloading and not loading on return.

That policy by Ekwenme was motivated out of pure spite to destroy SW industrial base and prop their people to dominate the retail and import sector.

That policy not only destroyed our industrial base but cemented Nigeria as an import based economy, massive job losses and future joblessness, drain on FX .

Botragelad:
Do you see how almost all these Arab countries run to the US and Israel for help when things get bad/serious? Without Israel in that region, Islamic terrorists would have had a much easier time running wild. It’s about competence.

Then these same countries turn around and scream “Free Palestine” while quietly begging Israel for intelligence, security help, and technology.

That’s why Israel will keep prospering. Do the work, build the strength, and let the noise makers cry.

Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱

Saudi royals are crypto Jews.

Sunni Wahabbi Islam is the equivalent of American Evangelical churches - they grovel at the feet of Jews.

guobe:
And the EU have a minimum wage of 2,700 Euro to your 70,000 naira minimum wage.

And a tax rate hovering around 40%

Pension contributions , rent , etc.

At the end , Europeans have little set aside and that's why they prefer public transportation and if they must own a car, they prefer tiny hatchbacks.

IyfeNamikaze:
Of course, the only thing that runs through your head is ethnic bigotry and tribal sentiments

See this one.

You are parroting xenophobic economy and protectionism as to why we should kick the Chinese out .

My friend I could care less if you see me as Hitler himself.

higgs:
You are full of hatred.Igbos buy Dangote cement, Dangote is not Igbo.FirstBank,GTB etc are mostly owned by Yorubas yet millions of Igbos own accounts in those banks.ETC Get a life,find something useful to do with your life and purge your heart of the evil and hatred it is full of,it is unhealthy for you.

You are asking us to chase Chinese so you can continue exploiting us in selling same made in China goods.

Abeg shift.

Go and secure land in your village to start farming now .

Don't say I didn't warn you .

IyfeNamikaze:
if they're selling cheaper than the indigenous people, the people will benefit on the short term but will suffer job losses, inability to enter the market, wealth building on the long term, the economy as a whole will not benefit anything whatsoever both on the short and long term.

Why do you think that America doesn't allow other EVs companies to set up retail shops in America despite that they sell at a lower rate than Tesla and other auto mobile companies? Why is it that apple are having a monopoly on US markets despite the fact that Huawei, Xiaomi, oppo etc have comparable products and at a cheaper price than the iPhone? Why do you think EU have a market protection laws within the countries in EU?

The reason you dominate Lagos retail sector is because Alex Ekwenme as head of Shagari's economic team liberalised imports.

That led to local industries closing down and since you guys established links in foreign countries earlier, the retail sector that used to have Yorubas dominate trade evaporated.

Now you guys have been enjoying that monopoly on imported goods which is also a major drain on FX which your region contributes zilch to .

That monopoly led to you guys exploiting the populace.

Now that Chinese are selling far cheaper you are now telling us that we should protect your business that depends on same Chinese imports.

Your import based retailers have done far more damage to Nigeria's industrial base and economy as a whole and you are telling me to support you in kicking the Chinese out because theu are selling far cheaper than you.

We don hear you.

If Nigerians have done wrong, please have. Mercy and pity them.
They are on their knees like Desmond, they won't do it again.
A litre of fuel is now equal to a dollar.
Still thinking how we got here.
Please temper justice with mercy for Nigerians.
The suffering is too much for them.
Ejo pity them.

Median price of fuel in the EU is around €2.60

That's more than #4,000.
