You explain why it is economically not sensible to close the borders they call you are smuggler. As one individual said no matter the quantity you produce, you still have to augment. People talk about jobs from agriculture. Please what kind of jobs? Must everybody go to the farm? As another individual said,what we need is employment of a skilled work force. How do people actually think that we can survive or compete when running agriculture like in the days of okonkwo of things fall apart? You need a skilled work force to even go into agriculture not a bunch of iliterate farmers who do not know what it takes to produce in a massive scale. By the way, how did we end up having a discussion on rice as boosting the economy? Nigeria is going down.

sarrki:
Also I thought you guys and Obi himself claimed he left 45 billion dollars or whatever?

when and where was that ever spoken or written? When trying to be sarcastic use your brain.

Senseless president,senseless agents and senseless country. Will this president die if he uses 10% of his brain?

sarrki:
My governor fashola did well than obitulie

Peter Obi is a liar like atikulates

Kwankwaso ,

if Peter obi had a quarter of what Tinubu had during his tenure, Anambra would have been very advanced. And please stop making comparisons of Lagos and other states it's nauseating. Lagos was a former federal capital territory. Most infrastructure at least 80% was built by the FG

What exactly are you doing to grow the economy? So if the border closed we would stop depending on crude oil? Daft monkey.

oyebanji44:
meaning that nothing good can come from the your Generation

oyebanji44:

MelesZenawi:
Blame everybody young man . Awolowo is no saint biko

Show me one leader in the whole world who is a saint? we dont need saints we need competent people.

"If" but the reality it didn't occur. Even if he did nothing would have changed same way Nigerians thought Buhari would fight corruption to stand still.

for you to even put Buhai in the same sentence as these two men speaks volumes. after all we saw what these men brought to the table. so in my honest opinion they would have made a difference. what exactly did buhari do in the past economically that warranted him becoming president? absolutely nothing. i never wanted him to be president because he has nothing to offer and he proved me right.

oyebanji44:
just like your father

Your father smoked weed tillhe died.

Kpoikpoi:
These Igbo people are always fighting and complaining all the time.
The South South have nothing to do with Igbos and most of us are very proud of where we come from.
If you have any problem with the Federal Republic of Nigeria please solve the problem yourself, stop dragging us into your rubbish.
If you don't like Nigeria you can leave,nobody is stopping you but the South South is happy to be part of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
If we ever feel like leaving Nigeria it will not be with Igbos ,that new country will be called Niger Delta Republic.

where are you from in the SS region ?

LegendHer0:
Is it that you guys are cursed? You’ve drafted SS into those you want to fight again?

Now you’re trying to eradicate the trust between the Igbos and the SS bit by bit with your utterances.

Write this down: The SS is very important to the Igbos coz you’re always using the alliance of the SS as a bargaining power in the south. If you dare lose the brotherhood with the SS ethnicities, the Igbos will play the second fiddle to one of the SS minorities in the South!

are you also cursed to always be in threads that are Igbo related then you come and start talking nonsense about how SS does not have Igbos and Igbos want to attach by force. What exactly is your aim on this forum and who are you? You are always active on threads like these.

oyebanji44:
Why the west? It would be better of,if the terrorists could alliance with their fellow terrorists in the east.

when you smoke weed you start writing rubbish.

BabaRamota1980:
Atiku has lost election, no other appeal is available. Its final!

Atiku is going to buy PDP primary again in 2023 and with another Igbo...or even Obi.... as VP.

APC is going to field a Yorubaman. There is no doubt.

Ndigbo,your destiny is in your hand in 2023. No one else is going to shape it but yourself.

Are you going to vote Atiku again, with Igbo VP, or will you demand and insist Atiku step aside for an Igboman to hold PDP ticket?

It is the fact because you refuse to read in between the line. Truth been that our democracy is baby compare to America. Our level of exposure is low compare to America. America spent years to attain that level hence no need for comparison. We have media at the beck and call but the man at the street lack enough exposure that is why our politician still use religion, tribe and nepotism to deceive the masses

if Nnamdi Azikwe or Awolowo had ruled Nigeria from Independence, Nigeria would have been an advanced country. This excuse doesn't hold water. The North has been holding us back even before Independence. Firstly we are not a Nation and will never be.secondly only a Nation can have a democracy. We are rules by proxy from The UK. And their custodians are a tribe and region were 80% are illiterates and not having basic education.

JonDon12:
I hope this Dullard knows that Saudi is now quickly becoming a pariah state. Ibn Salman is looked at as a criminal and the only reason Saudi wants to invest in Nigeria is that Saudi might get sanctions from western countries due to Khashoggis Murder. Nigeria should eat with saudi with very long spoon.

since that prince took over power,so many evil things have been happening. One thing that blacks don't know is that these people do not care about us. The south wants to die in Israel and Rome while the North wants to die in Saudi Arabia. Now you have a president who cannot make a speech without reading from a paper after using a whole month to rehearse going to speak for us, a country filled with very brilliant black people.i hope he is not selling Nigeria as a Muslim country to the Arabs because they are worse than the whites.

Omoodua007:
See should Nigeria go it’s Seperate way
Best for Yoruba to be on its own
Imagine the level of division within Niger delta damn !

The republic of Odua-Arewastan

I watched this Ali guy yapping about how they seized containers filled with rice and groundnut oil that have expired and my feelings told me that the man was lying. It was obvious just watching him carefully. I am yet to understand the economic gain of this border closure. My gut feelings is telling me that there is a reason for this and it is entirely different from the reasons that has been told to the public. If you notice,policies and actions brought by this president is always pro North. Ruga,grasses imported,North East funds, promotion of Northern Muslims into sensitive post,before the election,removal of judges by destroying and tarnishing their image in preparation for election tribunal. Now the army is basically asking for identification nation wide. The BORDER CLOSURE has nothing to do with economics and how the country would move forward but something sinister. A script is being played out. The border closed to be opened January,Enugu airport closed to be completed April. After Christmas. We are watching and the truth would be revealed. All those supporting EVIL,a day of reconning is fast approaching. Whatever you sow you reap.

helinues:
So asking questions is now a personal attack

So the questions jumped your fence and hit you like bricks?

My friend likes to ask questions. he said we should ask you

it's a stvpid question

Oshigun:
Your inferiority complex kicking in again. I challenged you because I know for sure you cannot prove your claim of Obi's academic or career superiority as I know both men's educational and professional background. Instead of you to rise up to the challenge and prove what you try to pass of as fact, you are prevaricating and bloviating emptily. Prove Obi is a genius who has worked for some of the top companies of the world or shut up. Did not get where I have in life dealing in speculation, half-truths and propaganda as folks like you enjoy doing to the be playing victim when busted.

no one said he is a genius. An average Igbo man has confidence which probably annoys his host. You must be silly to say i have inferiority complex. Peter Obis record speaks for him. His educational background is stellar he doesn't need to prove ish to you or the slowpoke who even had to compare the two. When it comes to politics i would give it to Tinubu. But educational qualification's,I won't even bring Obis reputation low to his level. Was it no this same Tinubu that claimed he went to a school that he didn't attend? Peter Obis CV is loaded. Sorry your god Tinubu doesn't come close. And please don't include properties he aquired after 1999 because we know he made his money in government. We can't even trace the source of his wealth.

"whose land the present Government House is situated"

I can see one of the reasons why this fraudster carry himself as if he's above the law, just because the government house is built on his father's land.......rubbish!

Whatever the dog see that makes him go berserk and barks endlessly, goat have already seen it and kept quiet with wisdom.

If one of Nigeria's finest Soldier, General Odumegwu Ojukwu, even with military might, mass support from then Eastern Nigerians could not secede from Nigeria. A failed project which cost millions of innocent lives including children.....a mistake he later regretted before joining his ancestors, then Kanu can never succeed in selfish quest to break this country and install himself king in the breakaway region.

Even though they grant them the so called Biafra, South Sudan will be far better than them because they will fight to finish amongst themselves for who to rule since they are never united.....always working for their individual selfishness.

After all, this yeye struggle is all about the Niger Delta oil and it's Sea ports.


Arrest the hediot and lock him up in maximum prison if he dares step his foot in the "Zoo"

Ndi Ara!

BUSINESSARENAA:
I once said that the closure of these borders is not a properly thought idea, but some ignorant entities were ranting up and down.

Rice is not the only commodity that passes through a border. There are a lot of genuine business that passes through the land border.

If you are importing or exporting to some of the west African countries, it's easier and more cost effective to use the land boarders than the sea port.

Imagine a man exporting textiles to Ghana from Kano, how possibly will he do that through the sea port in APAPA?

I am totally against rice smuggling but the government should have come up with smarter ideas to deal with this issue, and not shutting down the whole boarder.

Presently I have about two trailers of hides and skin from Mali parked at the boarder incurring bills, with high possibility of spoiling within the shortest period of time because of its present condition.

How do I import from Mali to Nigeria through the seaport?

It is only those that does not understand what happens at the land boarders that are jumping up and down.

Once again I reiterate my stance against smuggling rice through the boarders, but we have to be more tactical in handling certain issues as regards to our economy.


This boarder issue in Nigeria is like a fly perching on a man's scrotal sack, you have to apply wisdom in dealing with it, if not you may end up hurting yourself terribly bad if you hit it with great force.

smartness is not synonimous to Buhari.

Oshigun:
Typical Igbo man chest-beating based on nothing but ego and ignorance. Can you supply both mens qualification here and where they have worked and who they have led so the forum can judge your childish and clannish submission? Or is this going to be another case of Igbos bragging emptily and not being able to back talk with hard facts?

because tinubu is your leader does not mean that there are no people who are more educated than he is. and Yorubas always have this crappy metality that tey are the only ones that go to school is very ridiculous. there is no area in which you would call your people which an igbo man is not well represented. so if Peter Obi has a well robust cv compared to him is that a crime against humanity? we dont do hero worship keep that to your self and i still maintain my stand. he is a man not a god

as a politician Tinubu is way ahead of peter obi. but when it comes to qualification, you cannot compare a donkey to a horse. the are not mates. the person comparing the two is not smart. that was how some delinquents were comparing iweala to adeosun. how foolish can one be?? can you box God?

Beremx:
Oga, open border o! This is least of problems in Nigeria.


No one should call me a smuggler cos I am not. I can't afford to buy a bag of rice for 50k and chicken for 30k a carton by December.


Nonsense!!

smuggler

In as much as I detest the modus operandi of this "so-called" man of God.. I must say, I admire his confidence and PR skills.
There's basically nothing special about him, he's got no swaggs like the Bioduns, he doesn't break the word like Papa Oyedepo, not like he's handsome like Pastor Chris or even use ryhmes like Ibiyome... He's just there...!

I can't have a grasp on where he got the multitude of followers that hang around him.
Well, Immortal Technique once said, you sold platinum doesn't make your music special. It just means there are over a million people that are stewpid as f*ck.

I just hope all one day air no go blow fowl nyash.

all the people you mentioned are all men who use religion as a means of enriching themselves. The first time I saw this pastor I disliked him immediately. Most men of God are just business men.

MetaPhysical:
Ojukwu had only one building in Lagos...and is in Ikoyi.

All lands in Lagos is owned by about 20 families. Anyone who built property in Lagos is an occupant on leased space.

Only few lands given out by the owners can be said to have transferred ownership.

Ojukwu is an occupant in Lagos, not an owner.

why are you in threads that has to do with Igbos ? pH was mentioned not Lagos
