The Miscreants Vs The Chinese Traders by Iyobaba(op): 4:38pm On Sep 16
A section of the country has been described and reduced to as miscreants by the Lagos police recently due to their intolerance and aversion to competitions.

The Chinese are investors and should be allowed to invest their money in whatever business or group of companies they choose as long as they are not breaking any trade laws.

Looking at the history of Lagos, before the encounter with the Portuguese, the Aworis (the Aboriginies of Lagos from Ile-Ife) traded with the Ilajes, the Ijebus and the Egbas for centuries.

The History of Lagos itself shows it has always been a capitalist society, a place where like-minded capitalist converge. A learned person would know one of the core tenets of capitalism or a capitalist society is the open and free market structure.

A free and open market encourages competition and innovation and such are the advantages that drives the dynamisms of the Yoruba markets across the vast South Western States.

If the Chinese have broken no trade laws, why are these miscreants crying blue murder ¿

Firstly, you must understand the difference between a trader and a business man

A trader buys and sells assets or goods for short-term profit, while a businessman builds and manages a long-term enterprise that creates sustainable value

If you're a business man you'll agree the Chinese will add more value to the Lagos and federal economy in the long run compared to the petty traders.

The fear of competition
One of the reasons the US has the largest economy on the planet is because it operates as a capitalist society. Competition keeps businesses on their toes and encourages innovation.

You either be innovative or be left behind, that's why the Chinese copied the US markets structure. Today, the Chinese market pretty much a capitalist market as the US.

Laconically, our petty traders in Lagos and other parts of the prosperous South Western States must start thinking like a business man or give way to the Chinese.

May God bless the Nigeria Police and the Lagos State government for calling them miscreants.

These same "miscreants" would complain when South Africa treats them as they treat these Chinese.

Re: The Miscreants Vs The Chinese Traders by helinues: 5:16pm On Sep 16
My own curiosity is, are these not the same people complaining of prices of goods going up, why are they now having issue with the Chinese selling at low price?

I Before Others mentality all the time

The other day, Kelly Handsome was blaming the Yoruba for not buying Flavour's 02 ticket. Like seriously, is Flavour singing in Yoruba abi why can't the people that understand the language fill up the 02 Arena
Re: The Miscreants Vs The Chinese Traders by helinues: 5:19pm On Sep 16
Another curiosity is, if they can have such confident to be telling a tenant like them to leave Lagos, if it's their region, probably they would have burn the Chinese shop all in the name of protesting.

Ordinary 5% of what they have been dishing to others, make dem have some taste, imagine the way they are frowning

Very good. These miscreant are the ones Peter Failure Obi wants to be using to terrorize Lagosians..

Our Chinese brothers & sisters are highly welcome!
Re: The Miscreants Vs The Chinese Traders by Image123(m): 5:40pm On Sep 16
Everyone should be allowed to trade. We're looking for foreign investors. How do you want to be protesting against foreigners doing legitimate business in Nigeria?
Re: The Miscreants Vs The Chinese Traders by TheSalt101300: 5:43pm On Sep 16
Our Chinese blodas are also Lagosians 😂

Pit Obi needs them to stay gullible

I have a feeling Kwankwanso is preparing for 2031 rather than being a good VP to Obi

Was this how Chinese people grew their country to have widespread prosperity and become powerful- by opening up to TRADERS who miscreants call investors?


How can people who came from Ile-Ife be described as aborigines instead of settlers or migrants?


Is Lagos being ruined by capitalists or progressives since 1999? Is that why Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu have been increasing tax burden on people to grow the state budget 100 times over the past 27 years to N4.2 trillion without employing enough teachers and other workers to make education free for all children and water available to all households?

Has fuel subsidy been stopped? Or is it being paid illegally under a different name by the master strategist of balablu bulaba a-looter propaganda politics? Paying subsidy to importers of fuel from their Malta blending plants to destroy Dangote’s private refinery that was licensed by PDP prosperity politicians!

Simply a friendly, straightforward debate about trade policy, with a healthy dose of playful disagreement.
