I want the Asia to take over our commerce, they will employ people, pay tax and they will never insult their customers.

stanluiz:
Did anyone stop your lazy people from taking over commerce lazy bones!

Emergency lovers of Chinese We will buy in buck from Chinese and sell it back to you.

You are not into the game of importation, trading and commerce. You are just spectators.

Every country protects her retail trade. WHY? Together with agriculture, retail trade provides easily accessible jobs for the less skilled amongst the population. It is also easier to start a retail shop than say-opening a factory.
No one has said that the Chinese can not do business in Nigeria, after all they have been running their Chinese shops/towns for ages here, What every thinking mind has said is that they should not torpedo the retail sector of the economy with their cheap adulterated products, at a great risk to the economy.

When a Nigerian trader/business man makes profit in Nigeria, he spends most of it here thereby energising the economy. He builds houses, buying Dangote cement that is produced locally and owned by a fellow Nigerian. He sends his kids to government/private schools in Nigeria and pay handsomely. He buys land in Nigeria most times, and pays to fellow Nigerians thereby enriching the economy. He banks with Nigerian banks that are owned by Nigerian from different regions, and makes shareholders of those banks to rip huge profits. Because he stays in Nigeria, most of his disposable income are spent here, with the attendant VAT payments and taxes. A Chinese seldom wait for all that. Likewise Indians. They are on the next flight out of town with their huge profits..

It is not like the federal government is not aware of all these. They are. It's just that some people in government have chosen to act dodgy for obvious reasons. Otherwise, why are businesses in other sectors being protected from skewed competitions from foreigners, but those areas dominated by easterners are willfully surrendered to foreigners irrespective of the great harm to the local economy?
It is also important to note that the uptick in the presence of the Chinese retail businesses in Nigeria today, is happening as the Chinese authorities start to tighten visa rules for Nigerian businesses/business men..
That is not a coincidence..


When there was a move to start importing beef into this country to augment the low quality products from the fulani herders, the federal government moved swiftly to stop that! Today, irrespective of the quantity or quality of beef produced by the fulani, we are forced to buy solely from them! Infact, a federal ministry of Livestocks have been created to take care of their demands. Buhari banned rice importation. How can a Chinese blatant take over of the economy enrich Nigerians??

When a foreign producer delves into wholesaling and retailing his products.., going as far as opening shops next to the same traders who just bought from him, then there seem to be a deliberately calculated programe to annihilate the "trader".. When the government of the day goes as far as defending the foreign nationals who will import goods into Nigeria, wholesale/retail and then spirit away their earnings back to their home countries overnight, in serious capital flight, and the government supports this, you need no one to tell you that a SILENT WAR is being waged against a segment of the population!


But we have seen this before.
Someone invited the Lebanese and the Indians in the past, to come and do exactly what they want the Chinese to do today.
Where are the bountiful results? Apart from the Chagoury and Chagoury??
Have we learned!?
As long as we make national policies based on primordial disdain for certain groups in this country, we can never move forward.
You can't cut your nose just to spite your face..

But some people said that 'Lagos is a no man's land',so when the Chinese heard that they quickly rush in.

FSBoperator:
So all these while that your brothers were dealing with the Chinese without problem , it wasn't the govt that brought the Chinese into Nigeria .


You people are not normal in the head.

owobokiri:
We are saying that retail trade should be left for Nigerians or Africans. We never said it should be left to a particular ethnic group in Nigeria. You are the one going around, pinning down ethnic tags on a legitimate patriotic quest to protect jobs for locals.. The questions are;
Are you incapable of dealing with the Chinese? What stops you from going to your motor parks and rescuing all them agberos there, and teaching them how to trade? Thought you said trading is not rocket science?

Is anyone stopping you from dealing with the Chinese directly? You as a Nigerian can go to them, buy directly from them, and find ways to "bring down the prices" too, since according to you, the current traders only want to make huge profits? They have their Chinese Town here where they have been mass producing fakes for you, did anyone stop you or them from transacting? You use to mock retailers. Why are you now asking the gods to send you and oriental saviour!? Thought 4 by 4 is nothing important according to you.

FSBoperator:
And who told you that other Nigerians whom the Chinese were selling directly to were not also into retail?

What you are asking is that the Chinese only sells to you guys and no other Nigerian.

That is the height of your greed and foolishness.

helinues:
Do you want me to renew your blocking?

owobokiri:
Can you point to any place where the business men said that the Chinese must sell to only igbos and to no other people/Nigerians!? If you can, I will pull down this thread. All I heard is that they were complaining that foreign manufacturers who sell stuffs to them, were all of a sudden starting to open retail shops near their shops in big numbers, and they protested against that.

In fact, in one of the videos I saw, the leader of the protests told the Chinese to go elsewhere and open their shops rather than opening stalls in the same vicinity where their buyers retail. In his words "you can go to Badagagry or elsewhere and open your shops, we don't care..". Obviously the Chinese were lured into that market by those who are good at renting foreigners to fight their wars...

No need to worry though..
This is nothing but a storm in a teacup.
With or without the Chinese, you will buy from the igbo man..., in your Lagos of course!
Your destiny as long as Nigeria subsists as a united state..
Atleast with the way the Lagos APC and their Internet hirings have reacted to this, we now know that the treacherous government is well aware of all these. Folks will recalibrate and of course circumvent...

madridguy:
I am very happy the government are coming to consumer's aid.

helinues:
Make una stop this nonsense..The Chinese are in SW, we the people of SW want them to continue reducing the price of goods.

When they established business in your region, you can tell them what to do not in South West that you both are non indigenes.

Always crying foul as if they are the only tribe we have in Nigeria

Majority tribe for that matter

reality1010:
Which one is Southwest and which one is Southeast, South south, North East, North west and North central? Chinese are in Nigeria and the government must act not South west issue. If Tinubu doesn't act the next president for 2027 will act to protect Nigerians and their businesses and industries.

honeyB2018:
They shouldn't stop at this only.
Just of recent, the Emir of Kano spoke against importing beef from America and said it should be stop.
You are supporting the government because you think it will affect the IGBOS alone, my dear continue.
About 60 yrs again, a similar thing like this was done €20 were given out despite the huge amount they had in the bank, hope you know what it has turned up to be.
Let's continue to repeat history.

FSBoperator:
The govt should act against the Chinese whom have been your source of goods until they decided selling to other tribes .

You see how selfish you people are.

Your people went to SA to engage in criminal activities and when SA people said they want you out, you then started a campaign against SA legit business in Nigeria.

I think it's high time we help you get this your Biafra .

Thiefobi1:
Without southwest they re nothing.

Thiefobi1:
Chinese should also stop selling their manufactured goods to igbo in China.

Honestly! I tire for these guys and their cogenital shenannigans. However, when these guys finally gets their biafra, they will still be in out faces.
Recently, at the conference held in abuja to restructure the country, see how they came out to frustrate the move, claiming everywhere in the old south eastern region are igbos.

The igbos need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs the igbos. They are thr major beneficiary of this pseudo- One united Nigeria.
