Good development

c

When someone tells you their hands are cold, there's a 95% chance they're going to put their hands on you to prove how cold they are.

Hmm

Hh

Good

Same should also be extend to all the major land borders too.

They always like to milk the south to feed the North. Why not do the same thing in the Northern borders with Chad. Go to Tincan and see how these bastard s collect our money and take to the North in the disguise of useless one Nigeria.

My brother it is not ok. This is another way of making the country vulnerable to machineries that will bring vawulence to the Nation so they can milk the countries poss all in the name of security vote.

Privatizing virtually all the sectors of economy in this country is not in the best interest of the country... Still encouraging untold hardship and inflation in the cost of imported goods through our land borders.

Though a laudable idea but knowing how things work here, we will mess it up

Then activities of Customs and Immigration on that Seme - Mile 2 route will double and they will frustrate the living daylights out of people.


CONTINUU

Is this a good idea? YES.

Will corruption turn it into a very bad idea? YES.

That’s what they should’ve done, instead of that one to Niger that would carry cows and terrorists

Nothing good works in Nigeria.

This idea will strangle the masses

Good move

Nigeria government should first of all fix the road, from seme border to Lagos.

Nigerian side is the worse ECOWAS road.

Even when the fund was released by ECOWAS for all the ECOWAS countries to fix their road,

Nigeria failed to do their side coz of the usual corruption and bad governance.

Whenever you are coming from Ghana to Lagos, the road will be smooth till you cross seme border to Nigerian side, then you will be greeted with total darkness, potholes, and numerous unnecessary checkpoints,

Okay nah
