We cry of importing everything yet some want to label a move against it as rubbish.

Should have waited to 1st see if the policy will impact positively on the masses, than to rush to praise the policy.

Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

The thread deserves the posts it's getting. Otedola is speaking up because of his friend and not that he's a patriot in this case.

Coming to importation, even USA imports finished goods from China and other countries. The ones that made the tarrif are putting it 9n hold until they see some metrics but Otedola is smarter than all.

There are always people-centred alternatives to any policy somit doesn't increase the gap between the rich and poor

Stephen0mozzy:
Hehe.... Na where really dey pain person e dey carry face fire.

Country at the verge of "crisis", this one dey blow flute and dance to tariff music.

nairalanda1:
Yes USA imports from china and as a result a lot of it's domestic manufacturing has been wrecked. That's why a lot of people voted for trump whose activity this year has been slapping tarrifs on many nations, china included.

It's also part of why the democrats lost. A democrat president was responsible for signing treaties that led to American jobs being outsourced to china and other countries.

Yes, Americans want cheap things, but that has basically affected their domestic industry and led to millions doing low paying service jobs.

Forget politics. If obi was in charge and did this , it would still be right. After all we lose a lot of forex to importation, which affects forex reserves

You cannot demand jobs and support polices that destroy job creation

At least we now have more people setting up refineries

Alaigbo:
Every single person against the import tariff is from the East n Delta n maybe some deluded PDP. They know exactly what they are doing n it is all out of hate for Tinubu Yoruba n Apc, nothing else.

If you doubt me let them support removing import duties on cars since their argument is Nigerians will buy wherever it is cheaper, so we can see how well Innoson will do without govt backing sebi dem say govt no support them.

They will never support it bcosbtheir tribesmen Innoson is the only one in Nigeria enjoying the import tariff on cars.

How is Tax imposition that will hike up the cost of living and cost operation suppose to bring development

Mandate1:
The elite who benefit from this govt will always support her bad policies.

Tarrif is to discourage importation according to them, but what happens from the domestic side of manufacturing and selling cheaper to tame import? Rice importation that was banned, how far did we go?

Fuel imported from far away countries selling and competing cheaply with local product, isn't that economic suicide? Same crude we export to other countries, we no import and sell even comparatively to locally produced. Isn't this an obvious indictment on our producers that they are our major problem?

A country devoted to building comprador bourgeoisies as against national builders will continue to suffer.

Nigeria is irredeemable.

erniok:
US raising tarrif is nit new. Obama did it against China where the felt the trade deficit was targeted against them. Trump's case was even using drugs as his alibi and not even trade deficit.

That said, US have all it takes to keep manufacturing but their unionism that demands workers are paid top dollar and investors looking for massive profits made so many companies outsource because of cheap labour.

That cannot be said about Nigeria so it would be like comparing apple and oranges.[quote]Well, that's not quite true.

[quote]The 15% tariff is not needed. With the alleged removal of subsidy, it's a free market. The importation of petrol products, as long as the products are not substandard keeps dangote on his toes and it's a win-win for Nigerians but you guys are smarter that other economist

If Obi is the president and think of this nonsense, I'd have attacked him as well because this policy is not well thought out.
