Nigeria should go ahead and reciprocate by banning imports from America. There is nothing they buy from us anyways. They used to buy oil from Nigeria, but that has stopped around the days of NADECO. There is nothing we import from the US that we can not import at a cheaper rate from asia. So let the trade war start. We are already down, so why fear further falls?

Acidosis:
Just look at you. In your defense of Tinubu's maladministration, you've gone completely out of touch with reality and your own line of argument. You love Tinubu because he's growing reserves and (in turn making life unbearable for his citizens), but you don’t want the same treatment in the US?

Your own people grumble and struggle to buy fuel and diesel due to BAT's ignorance. When they complain, you shut them up with useless screenshot about IGR and reserves, but same you expect Americans to hate Trump for inflicting just a fraction of the pain your BAT inflicts on Nigerians everyday.

Your screenshot about Argentina is pointless and meaningless.

kettykin:
If Nigeria reciprocates , operating system will be out of reach, ChatGPT subscriptions will only be for the very rich, cost of drugs from US will be over the shelf.

The best for Nigeria now is just to restrategize like China did years ago

seunmsg:
It’s so much fun seeing you struggling to come up with a defence of your usual senseless narrative this morning. See the way you’re spewing spittle all around trying to connect the dots without still connecting.

Give it a rest dude, you’re just a sore loser like Peter Obi 🤣🤣🤣

You can't tax your way to growth.
Nigeria tax export,import,fuel, medicine,food, businesses,road usage, salaries etc.

With all the Trillions this government claim to be making and sharing every month,what d impact.

No infrastructure, insecurity, unemployment,poverty,hunger, hardship, inflation, kidnapping etc





You should stick to what you know
Only lavish lifestyle and wastefulness of d political class

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Boost local production of tropical crops? Can't you guys be smart for once? Even the things america produces have you ever asked yourselves why they import it instead of producing locally? The labour cost in America is high and if he likes, he should continue increasing tariff, for most goods going into america, it will still be cheaper to import from china, India, Vietnam etc. The price of the goods in America will just go up and his people will pay high. In the mean time, when china raises ots tariff, American farmers will go out of business, that's a fact!

TheBillyonaire:
But it is Americans paying the tariff. The Chaos Master doing what the world needs now for smooth transfer of Power to the Dragon. When the Dragon rises, the Eagle surrenders, not without chaos.

idahme:
This is how Zimbabwe boasted and fell

Baxilexi:
No his not.
If you’re interested look up countries like Norway, Switzerland, Austria… if you earn high you should spend appropriate, yes buying cheaper is good, but Americans can afford made in America products. They have institutions that handle price control and Purchasing Power Parity.

AmazonTopaz:
He has filed bankruptcies 6 times. He left the American economy in ruins as he left office but you believe that he is one economic genius. He is a clueless buffon and you should know better for actually thinking that he knows what he is doing. Shame on you.

What of Putin ?

nairalee:
Sad as it sounds, this is exactly what Nigeria. (African) leaders need to do. Discourage imports and force your local industries to produce

Adakintroy:
Stop with the pettiness. You world footballer of the year does not mean you have not miss a panalty or a simple chance a toddler will score.

All you need to know is that till this day he is a billionaire and still relevant and still in your or our faces. You may hate him but have have to respect him.

Biodun556:
He is probably imposing tarrifs and downsizing workers to save cost in preparation for a major military offensive

Why is Nigeria charging as high as 27 percent on American import in the first place? It shouldn't be more than 5 percent or zero percent because what that means is that Nigerians had been paying 27 percent more for goods imported from America plus markup (profit margin) added by the importer or government agencies such as Post Office charged me almost 10,000 Naira for a book I bought for less than 20 dollars including shipping cost.

The tariff we charge on American goods is what we should be bringing down to increase the value of Naira against the dollar. No wonder you find Kenya seemly having better trade and investment from America because they charge American goods by 10 percent because tariff like tax or vat is paid by the consumer not the company or the country but by those who by the products that's is heavily taxed.

Uche559:
But if d Americans r not willing to pay d added cost, don't you think they may decide to boycott d product, n export of such product to America will be affected?

cococandy:
I wish that were true. If he wanted to prioritize made in America products, he could’ve stated by manufacturing all his products in America. Every single thing he sells in his business is made in China.

He’s just mega unreasonable and incompetent

Antichristian2:
We no dey beg for anything. Let's increase it to 30%.

AmazonTopaz:
Respect him for what? That he is a billionaire in name means he knows economics?

Common get out of my mentions you are saying rubbish. I am talking about how he bankrupted his Businesses and ran into debts and how he mismanaged Covid and left the economy in ruins you are here talking bollocks. That's how you people don't think and worship money with no critical thoughts, nothing.

SalamRushdie:
You are okay with useless Nigeria charging the 27 percent and mad they charge Nigeria 14 percent?

This is not normal 😅😅😅

tunjijones:
You call Nigeria useless? You call your home land useless?

Bro you are a big fool.
