I don't support this directive. What was the basis for the ban?

PassingShot:
Wow!
I find this difficult to accept as the right thing to do atm.

Provide electricity and watch the business of importing "I pass my neighbor" die naturally.

Wrong move imo.

Did you read the piece before responding? Please call that only the type o generator in which oil I mixed with the fuel is banned. The reason for the ban is the health implication. This mean this govt care about our health. Let us cooperate with them

omenka:
I don't think I like this policy. It would only put more pressure on the pockets of small income earners and small businesses. They should rather ban the importation of Mikano and the rest of them big asss plants.

When the big shots see that they can't find gens to power their laundry machines and air conditioners, they'd do all they can to ensure *PHCN provides adequate electricity to us.

big guy how far naaa

Chai. Igbos girls are running after yoruba bois...well their igbos male like to carry. Cocaine and them plenty 4 prison

jaymichael:
It is not every part of the country that is connected to the national electricity grid. Even in Lagos, there are lots of areas (especially the riverine areas of Amuwo Odofin Local Govt) that are off grid.

why you dey talk nonsense. which one be amuwo odofin riverine area again?

Ndlistic:
The Federal Government has banned the importation of small generators popularly called 'I pass my neighbour,' used by low-income Nigerians.
Controller, Federation Operations Unit Zone A, Lagos of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mr Madugu Sanni Jubrin, disclosed this in Lagos while speaking with newsmen.


Sanni also said that the command seized 4,733 goods worth N52 million and arrested some suspected smugglers since he assumed duties one week ago.
He said the seizures were made possible through intelligence gathering and other measures put in place by the unit with a view to ensuring that the supply chains of smugglers were fully blocked.


Conducting journalists round the seized items which included 239 bales of used clothing valued at N10 million, 1,120 cartons units of the small generators valued at N13.4 million, among others, Madugu said the unit would not relent in its efforts in ensuring that prohibited items are impounded and those involved in its importation prosecuted.
“The smaller generators have been banned by the Federal Government because it is causing air pollution and destruction of our lungs and breathing system. That is why they have banned it but people are still interested in smuggling them in, that is why we intercepted them.


“If you go to the market, you still see them because people have imported them before the ban. So it is the leftover they had before the ban that they are selling because the law did not backdate the ban and it is not an absolute prohibition.
“It is prohibition by trade which means you cannot bring it in large quantity and sell to the public. That is the type of prohibition we have on this but if you buy one piece, Customs will not seize it.


“We will not relent in our efforts. When we see any prohibited item, we will seize, arrest the people and we will allow the law court to take decision on prosecuting them. So it is better for them to stop smuggling than to continue when they know Customs will catch up with them,” he said.

If our so called engineers are competent. This is opportunity for them to make money... We should go back to drawing board and think about producing small solar generator.

HONESTLY I BETTER PASS MY NEIGHBOR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HEALTH. NOT JUST LUNGS PROBLEM BUT INSTANT DEATH TO PEOPLE THAT INHALE THE SMOKE.

Omenkata:

lol bro no be you vote change
enjoy your janji - General Bloodykiller

nna, we gallant dey watch...

Another useless policy - You'll simply enrich smugglers who would use our porous borders to smuggle even a passenger jet.

Who knows if he is simply trying open another money making outlet for Boko Haram sponsors since the West is seriously clamping down on terror financiers.


The zombies won't like this comment.

Giv us steady light and the bizz of generator will die naturally, or u start from dat big silent Gen so that the rich, the poor, gov and the govnd will contribute directly or indirectly to power improvement...simple.

They'd soon ban importation of some kinds of cars, perhaps the cheap ones, just watch

no considerance for the poor

why not just ban generator importation or is it just the small gen sets that emit carbon monoxide?


Good riddance!

Honestly i dont enjoy using those things ,but i am compeled to because its the only workable solution to the power problem for now. However its very sickening that GEJ that worked hard on power generation did not ban generators and this olodo Buhari that has not done anything on power is banning generator, stewpid cowhead

Why,
please ban all lister generator. must you guys punish the poorpeople. have they thought of how this will affect the small scale businessess. this government so poor in reasopning

Can dey give us prove dat it failed carbon emission test. If can SON stand up. To dia responsibility and only allow d ok ones to enter d country rather dan blanket ban.

RevDesmondJuju:
Why not ban big diesel gens?

Why must the poor man suffer ?

Exactly, that's the problems!!! Policies should be formulated bearing in mind different class of people...

This change is real, by the time APC is done with us. Nigeria will not remain the same.. You all should brace yourselves for the change you clamoured for.

who dey advice dis old man self

Naija is a zoo, how does dis affect the elites directly! Na small biz men dey join share container of I pass mma nebor, big men deal in plants!
No light, no fuel, no gen, see gobe!

The same I pass my neighbor that would be smuggled into the country with your police and custom officers playing middle men role?


You can deceive yourself all you want but certainly not everyone ,if they care more about the health of Nigerians then the 'I pass my neighbor' is the least problem in this country as it has always helped low income earners to run their homes and small scale businesses

I think he's opening another money making venture for Boko Haram financiers .

Not surprised, the minister of housing, works and power was an elitist governor during his stint in Lagos.

sai apc, sai baba, sai change.

Acjohn:
I would suggest he rather start with the Big generators like Mikano as that would affect the big cabals that have been sabotaging our power industry not the small one that people like Obi and Baba chukwuamaka are using to survive.

if they ban the mikanos not even aso rock would enjoy 247 electricity....

The reason for the ban is pollution and not importation.
