You are the struggling to make sense here but you don't know.
Call anyone living in China for over ten years or thereabout and they will tell you that the Chinese implemented this sort of policy at a point when lots of foreigners were opening retail export shops around Guangzhou. Yeah, you heard right. The great Chinese were making laws to protect their retailers. I mentioned this event here then but folks like you with your liberal cock and bull stories maintained that the Chinese were right.

Later, China will loosen the laws by stipulating that any foreigners wanting to open such retail shops should employ several Chinese and pay them basic minimum wages. You also must be current with your tax payments and must have office in designated office areas. That means you are now paying rents for the office spaces too! That's the situation now.. Ghana did dame thing against igbo traders under Buhari. You didn't read about it because those Nigerian traders always find a way to wriggle out of the dragnet. For instance in China, Nigerians started using names of their girlfriends and Chinese wives to run the shops! That's how they stay afloat.

I don't understand your example with Lagos and all that. Is Lagos a separate countey feom Nigeria

Na waaaaoh

THE PROGRESSIVE POSITION IS NOT TO COPY COMMUNIST CHINA.


RATHER MAINTAIN THE WESTERN FREE MARKET CAPITALIST ECONOMY.


AREAS OF GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION SHOULD BE AGAINST ANY FORM OF DISCRIMINATION THAT IS PROTECTIONIST AND ANTI-COMPETITIVE.


I.E. CHIAN BUSINESS OWNER GOING TO EMPLOY PEOPLE FROM CHINA OR OFFERING SERVICES TO ONLY CHINESE.


THE GOVERNMENT WILL STEP IN AND ACCUSE THEM OF PROTECTIONIST MEASURE THAT ARE DISCRIMINATORY AND ANTI-COMPETITIVE.



THE PENALTY WILL BE FINE AND CLOSE THEM DOWN.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY MUST EMPLOY LOCALS AS PART OF THEIR TRADING LICENCE AND TO BE COMPLIANT WITH OUR FREE AND OPEN COMPETITIVE ECONOMY, THAT IS NOND-DISCRIMINATORY.

Smart move — no one will later claim to have developed Tanzania with Gala hawking!

OlawaleBammie:
either competition or not, protect ur citizens first.....

Jo be competition ur citizen go chop..

I am sure there are Tanzanians in other neighbouring countries engaged in small businesses, what if those countries retaliate and also ban Tanzanians form small scale businesses?

THIS IS THE BUSSINESS MODEL I HAVE IN MIND.



I HAVE TO SHOW U, BECAUSE SOME OF U WONT GET IT.

This is laudable, Nigerian government need to emulate this.


Ban Chinese people from operating small and medium scale trading businesses.


Chinese citizens should only be allowed to operate manufacturing, production and other large scale businesses.


They should be banned from opening small and medium scale trading businesses in Nigeria.


If this is not done, Chinese will soon Pursue Nigerian small and medium scale businesses from operation

there are many Nigerians in china engaged in small scale businesses, what happens if china also reciprocates and bans them? In your selfishness u people only think of what will benefit u. Ban Chinese business men and see what happens to all the small scale Nigerian businesses in china.

what you have just described now is regulation, there is difference between regulation and ban.

AND THA IS NIGERIA BSUINESS MODEL.



NON-DISCRIMINATORY.



AN OPEN FREE MARKET CAPITALIST ECONOMY.

THOSE MEN DOING FARMING AND CAT FISH BUSINESS IS NOT STOPING ANY NIGERIAN THAT IS SERIOUS ABOUT DOING SAME BUSINESS FROM GOING TO SET IT.



IF WE FOLLOW SENTIMENT, WE WIL LCHASE THEM AWAY BECAUSE OF HATE AND TRIBALISM AND COMPLAIN THE ECONOMY IS NOT GROWING OR STAGNANT.




HOW WILL IT GROW WITHOUT MORE MONEY ENTERING THROUGH FROM FREIGN COUNTRIES?



IF U WANT SHOP, WE WILL BUILD MORE, NIGERIA IS BIG ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY.



AS A MATTER OF FACT, U CAN EVEN BUILD IT YOURSELF NOBODY STOPPING U, THE LAND IS THERE.

Is Opay a small scale business?

I am not against foreign investors.

THEY ARE HERE IN NIGERIA INVOLVED IN ALL SECTOR UNDISTURBED BUT EVERYTIME ON THE NEWS FOR BIGOTRY.

Canadians are not plentiful in Nigeria.

In my younger days, they were everywhere. My pri are school teachers in my school in Ikeja wete all Ghanians. A Mr.Dappa was my astounding maths and lesson teacher.

Now that our per capita income and theirs are competing, they no longer flood here.

Even when foreigners are better in that business?

Nigerians should also be banned by the US, UK, SA, and other countries from running SMEs....how does it sound?

Black man eh.. who do these Chinese people employ? As in what is wrong with the head of a black man for goodness sake... And why are we ever so ready to applaud when other people are victims of exclusionist policies, but hate when we are at the receiving end? Why do we hate anything that's not us? Even down to tribes and religion and even denomination?

If trump enacts this policy in America, this your comment would be different. If you are Igbo, and the Lagos government came up with this, your comment would also be different. If you are Yoruba and Soludo enacts this sort of rubbish policy, your comment would also be different.

Back to topic, if an outsider is dominating you in your country, then you're either too lazy, or dumb. Making eye service moves such as this is merely short term political rubbish. It will solve nothing and will ruin things in the medium to long term.

Mugabe chased away white farmers, a short term political move. His country ended up slipping into famine.

I am a strong supporter of the free market but at the end of the day, it isn't perfect.

These same foreigners you welxone in today, tomorrow will be the ones to rub it in your in the face that theyre "better than you" and call you lazy and stupid while all you're doing is minding your business.

Economic immigration of any form needs to be managed, whether they come to invest or to work, lest it causes strains in the nation.

The management is one in which foresight, and not knee jerk reactions are the paramount decision makers.

Opay na small business?

musicwriter:
Of course, I read it carefully and even re-read it now unless there's more on the link.

It says those industries were "traditionally dominated" by the locals.

There's no country in the world that locals don't "traditionally dominate" such petty industries. But the law of economics states that if you can't provide a better product or service, you'll be outcompeted by someone who can.

The Tanzanian government should rather think of how to get more people (foreign and local) into those industries, instead of shutting down existing foreign businesses, else it would hurt their economy

It's a people-centred policy and it would protect their local economy, especially creating more opportunities for their vibrant working age.

The policy only targets SMEs, so that you're aware.

Unfortunately, the law of economics doesn't support that growth would occur that way. It rather favors competition by as many people as possible. Indeed, the government would make more money that way by taxing them

No State Government in Nigeria can enact law to ban Nigerians from doing business in their State.

Opay is not a small business.

In fact, the disruption Opay has brought to the fintech space is what foreigners are expected to do in other countries. You take to the foreign land what they do not have.

Why should you go to a foreign country to be doing hair? Why not start a factory that produces the hair weaves?

Who is advising their leader ? He should go and learn from foremost progressive nations. Their trade liberality gave room for their success and development. The country should stop this type of myopic policy ,it won't allow his country to grow

The wise are finally waking up to the fallacy of pan africa.Not so long it was Ghana and now Tanzania is following suit,about damn time.I give a standing ovation to this move even though at times is a bitter pill to me as a South African because when we said everybody needs leave us and go fix their countries we were called afrophobic (some made up fancy term to sound smart) by these same countries that are now kicking foreigners out.So where is the AU at? They used to be so loud when it was us🤔🤔🤔

I applaud but at the same time I feel like karma finally found the right address
