Okrika is a booming business in Nigeria today because of lgb0s, the importation of okrika kiIIed the Nigerian garment sector from different parts of the country, that's a clear case of lgb0s being against others but we all pretend we are not aware.
99% of fabrics produced in Aba are adulterations of existing brands, the Fendi, Balenciaga, Bonetta Vendetta, Adidas, Nike etc etc, every fake brand u see in Nigeria today comes from Aba, they are banking on the success of those brands by adulterating them yet same people are talking about growth.
The musician Zlatan started a clothing line, before he could kick off, adulterations appeared in Aba, coming from people claiming to be so smart.

Free trade zones are a scam western multinationals sold dumber, poorer countries. They want to make their money without taxes so that nobody benefits from their presence except the multinational. Then, the leader (usually corrupt) will tell the people they should be grateful the company is there. So you have a free trade zone where a multinational makes 1billion USD a year. No tax, but they will say '700 jobs were created' '2000 jobs were created'. The more jobs the more they underpay, the less jobs the more they higher their own foreign people.

Kemetian:
Free trade zones can work for the local economy if the government stipulates that a certain percentage of slots will be allocated to indigenous firms. At least 50% in my view.

Difrent:
People like the Op won't say this even though they know.
What about the pharmaceutical industry, no be them still dey import all the fake drugs worth trillions and hide them In unsanitary conditions in other sections apart from pharmaceutical section

My joy be say igbos are not the majority in this country, if not we for see oppression and intimidation of the highest order

mrvitalis:
There is a reason why the top economics on earth are earths biggest importers

Importation is never a problem lack of exportation is...

mrvitalis:
Sometimes keep quiet if you dont know about a sector

Nigerian government policies on fabrics makes it easier to import finished goods ( garments) than raw materials fabrics

Because u want to protect an unviable northern fabrics factories

Make fabrics imports duty free and watch okrika go away

Good2go1:
If you sincere to yourself you won't
be asking this question. Let me give you one example. Buhari started standard rail project from Lagos to north and down to Niger republic leaving out the region that need it the most.
This is just one example

Also Nigeria national gas pipeline was designed to take gas out southeast to every other region but excluded SE states

Should I also remaind you of recent JAMB glitch

JagabanBorgu:
Give me a list of the policies that makes importation of garments more viable than production, you know so much, I expect you to detail those policies.

JagabanBorgu:
When you are importing what you have the resources to produce and can produce even producing, then you go ahead to import it, u kill it.
U can't export what you are not producing, those exporters that imports, import majorly what they are not producing or lacking.

Ttalk:
Is Dangote a multinational? The way some people reason eh

Kemetian:
Why must you import fabrics?

Professional importers.

The people you are importing it from, do they have two heads?

Why don’t you make the fabrics so they can import from you?

All these import duties are there for a reason - to reduce capital flight and encourage local innovation and industry.

China is the biggest importer on earth just after USA

Don't you have Google?

Pentagon007:
Hahaha You just realized that you are talking to some kind of empty heads with Zero idea on how economy and production functions😂 The slowpoke you quoted does not know that China is about the highest importer in the world of mostly raw materials needed for their industries. From energy(petroleum )to rare earth metals to semi conductors needed for machines, to agricultural products, to several others. Most of those people on this thread never know the reason for US-CHINA trade war. China is an import behemoth. You can't productive economy without having to import needed raw materials. These are the morons supporting fellow moronic leaders implementing stupid policies.

JagabanBorgu:
Igb0s and sincerity are two worlds apart.
Buhari also started another rail project from Maiduguri to Port Harcourt that's passing through SE, meanwhile states like Benue Plateau, Kogi, Nasarawa, Taraba, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa etc don't have any of the rail project passing through them, but they are not çryîñg that Nigeria is against them, u Iots should reaIIy be ashamed of urseIves.



Pipeline are always designed to take gas from where there's abundance to where there's little supply, it is impossible to take gas from a place to every place without giving out gas in such places, clearly shows u have no idea about gas pipelines.



I'm sure the whole glitch happened only in SE?

Pàthètîc bunch, can't provide any meaningful statistics to back their marginalization claim other than empty talks that holds no water.
Tell us how state govts in SE wants to build this or that and got denîèd but other governors are allowed to do same thing.
Tell us how federal allocation is not given to lgb0s, tell us how lgb0s are not allowed to have representatives in national assembly, u lots are reaIIy pàthètic, "marginalization" is a seIf assumed theory propounded by lgb0s.

MXrep:
Yoruba comparison is always funny. We are talking geopolitical zone you are mentioning states. The pH Maiduguri line passed through only two states in SE
