Keep deceiving yourself as if the past leadership's did enough to make Nigeria competitive. Massive investment in power and transport infrastructure going on today will actually make us more ready to compete in the African continent.

A pity you don't know why the country is in this state

OfficialAPCNig:
You are as dumb as Buhari.

AU is a community of 55 nations not Nigeria and South Africa.

Buhari just cost us a 1.2 billion consumer market.

If SA bests us in certain goods, can they best us in Agricultural products?

OfficialAPCNig:
I have responded to that question before but lemme answer it again.

If Kenyan Cars go for 250K against Nigerian 1000k.

It means Nigeria should liberalize and stop manufacturing cars entirely and import from Kenya.

They don't have the comparative advantage.

Instead of wasting money producing cars, Nigeria should then concentrate in producing only commodities they have clear comparatives advantage which Kenya doesn't.

Then Kenya should liberalize and start importing those goods from Nigeria.

This will create greater jobs for both countries and higher standard of living.

With that 1M, Nigerians can buy 4 cars instead of 1. They can decide to buy only 1 and invest the other 750k in productive ventures.

if you had not left your country to other African countries you will think that Nigeria is the most advanced in Africa. a free trade with Morocco and Angola alone will collapse our economy.

Princedapace:
Here is the deal, the deal here is that we are meant to benefit from this deal if we had a good country..

But for how long are we going to shy away from reality.

I knew countries like Morocco and South Africa and Algeria will sign this. These countries have functioning local manufacturing industries that even compete with their European counterparts. This deal would have favoured Nigeria but, after PDP killed Nigeria, APC came to bury it.

Nigeria is a disgrace and the earlier all of us, I mean all of us, accept this bitter truth, the better for us.

It is sad how some people still try to paint Nigeria well.

SalamRushdie:
Unlike you I know why exactly the country is in this state and I will tell you for free....Nigeria is in this state because in 1983 a self serving indisciplined military officer named Buhari led Putchist to needlessly over throw a legitimately elected democratic govt and started implement bizarre policies that would forever change Nigeria and Nigerians negatively

In pursuance of the primary objective of saving our great nation from total collapse, I, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari of the Nigerian army have, after due consultation amongst the services of the armed forces, been formally invested with the authority of the Head of the Federal Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is with humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept this challenge and call to national duty.

You are the disgrace here. SA with a tiny population to ours manufactures better ? Such a deluded hater.

Princedapace:
U are not intelligent.. SA has far better manufacturing industry than ours..

And if u want to use our large population as an excuse, please, remember that China, Russia, USA, and even India, all have larger population than us. They all have better manufacturing industry than us.


Bro, population is not an excuse, if population is our problem, people like u should have joined hands and glamour for break up of the country. So that we can be smaller and be like other countries that are doing well.

Or do u want us to keep going backward all because of our population? Or are u trying to tell me that we just have to keep going backward because our population is huge and there is nothing we can do about it?

SA that has less than 60 million people have over 50 thousnandMW of electricity while we with population of over 160 million has less than 5000MW of electricity.

People like u are the reason this country is useless because to u, everyone talks from the point of political affiliation. I never made my comment because i love or hate Buhari or i love or hate GEJ.

Politicians in Nigeria have failed....all of them.

Timewilltell3:
You are the unintelligent one here . SA is a tiny good for nothing country and you are comparing them to the biggest economy in the continent? . Go back to school.

Princedapace:
U are the biggest economy because of your population, it has nothing to do with development. Im sure u are saying this stupidly... Bro, where SA dey, nigeria no fit reach there in the next 40 years.

SA has working structure. Nigeria has none.

If u want, I can educate u with index and not hear say.

The SA tourism sector alone is a world class industry. SA education sector compete with some of the best in the world..

Their power sector is extremely well.. ur largest economy has less than 5000MW of electricity for her entire population and u are comparing it with a country with over 50kMW of electricity.

Bros, SA manufacturing industry is doing very fine. They have serious influence even in our economy. Hope u know that.

EternalTruths:
This is the thinking Americans held unto until they lost 87,000 industries between 1990 - 2017.


If Nigerians stop manufacturing cars, where will those sacked going to work.?

Do you know that there is a limit each sector of the economy can employ.?


What happens to staff of other sectors we allowed to die because we wanted cheaper goods.?


What if we don't have products that we can sell cheaper to Kenyans.?


Have you factored all these facts above.?



That is why I am disciple of Fair Trade which is a Trade that balances Protectionism and Free Trade.

Ovamboland:
You're not smart enough to know most of the poorer African countries also have only agricultural products to sell

wirinet:
According to you president Donald Trump must be the most myopic person in the world, because he pulled out of the trans - pacific partnership and is willing to pull out of NAFDA and even WTO.
So what will Nigeria trade with the rest of Africa? Africa does not buy Nigeria's oil and over 98% of our foreign trade is crude oil.

Timewilltell3:
You must be a briafran fool. SA only has two developed cities, do you know how many developed places we have here ? I'm not talking your stupid village . Nigeria is by far more developed. What working structure, with so much crime and aids ? . You are the one who needs education here not me. Tourism, who cares about that? You think we don't have attractions here?. So you are one of the fools who believe these lies told by these xenophobia people that they have schools better than naija? . Can their graduates stand those from unilag, uni ibadan etc ? Don't be a fool. SA has more post cuts than Nigeria, I've being to SA and you have not. This nonsense 50kmw is fiction from those lazy fools. You are a goat for saying the last part.

Timewilltell3:
You are stupid. Which country is more advanced than Nigeria . Collapse the biggest and strong economy , are you ok ?

OfficialAPCNig:
The 87,000 industries were weak to compete.

The stronger industries and economic expansion free trade will lead to will cause those displaced to be reabsorbed.

USA have their lowest unemployment rate.

There is no limit each sector can employ, economic expansion will ensure that.

#WealthofNations

There is nothing like fair trade, Free Trade is fair trade.

Well, I end my case here. U need mental care for all the abusive words u used here. Seems u sleep and wake up here.

Timewilltell4:
Shut up you unpatriotic slowpoke.

Princedapace:
U can only talk like this because it is a faceless forum. U can't talk to me in real life..


And pls go and check the meaning of patriotism. Patriotism has nothing to do with lying that all is well, when all is not well.

May Fulani herdsmen kill u soon.

Timewilltell4:
You are stupid. Get off my mentions.

Princedapace:

As a patriotic Nigerian u are, I wish Fulani herdsmen to slaughter u soon since u condemning evil means one is not patriotic.

OfficialAPCNig:
Do you know how your Tasty cube seasoning business would have benefited from that deal?

Your high lord and saviour just cost you a 1.2 billion sized consumer market.

Illiterates everywhere.

bozzyjoan:
Illiterates you say? Lol so flooding Nigeria with different commodities without tax or levy and inturn killing our home grown policy to develop local content is that what you want? U need brain formating my guy.

sagitariusbaby:
“Bishop Oyedepo, Bishop El Buba, Apostle Suleman, Pastor Enenche, Pastor Ibiyeomi, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Prophet TB Joshua, Pastor Sarah Omakwu and Pastor Polycarp Gbaja. May God bless them for speaking out timely against the carnage going on in the country.

As for E. O. Adeboye and W. F. Kumuyi keep being quiet, posterity will never forget your silence in this trying time for Northern Christians

OfficialAPCNig:
You people are just funny.

If you don't understand the structure of African economy, just shut up.

If you are afraid of competing against unsophisticated african products, I wonder what you will do against western products.

Even a Maggi seller is forming Economist. EternalTruths come and see your guy.

bozzyjoan:
I need not argue with you.
