FULL SPEECH : Ogbeh made this known during a budget defence session at the National Assembly on Tuesday.

Lamenting that Nigeria imports almost everything, the minister said, “Let nobody take it lightly, these guys have seized this country’s economy, taken us hostage and they have no intentions of giving up. Because this is a huge and very sweet market and they have taken control.

“Every time you bring in a shipload of rice, you also bring in a shipload of unemployment, because you are transferring your wealth to sustain other economies. Somehow, Nigerians didn’t notice it, so we became a nation of importers.

“Toothpick costs us $18 million; tomato paste costs us $400 million to import. Meanwhile, a basket in town is less than N2000; the farmers are losing money because the processors don’t have enough funds to set up factories.”

He also said, “We import milk, sugar, toothpick, toothpaste, pencil, items we don’t make; Vegetable, lettuce, cabbage come from South America through Dubai and arrives here for sale.

“There are also Nigerians who would rather have the imported item if it is not imported, it is not right, it shows status, class, that they only eat imported things.

Ogbeh added that “There are Nigerians who use their cellphones to import pizza from London. That’s where we are, and it’s a very annoying situation.”

Mumu Reno and his gullible followers.
He ignored all the solid points the Minister made and focused on pizza and his gullible followers are all blabbing already!

Twitter should make this guy their regional manager in West Africa already.
Mr Chemical reactant, the twitter ranting machine!

Thank you.
Good to know we still have some reasonable people like you around here. 
Nigeria will be great again.

DrTee1:
But what does Audu Ogbe's first degree have to do with this all, even if every other criticism is true?

There are too many people who read a different course as their first undergraduate degrees before taking a different career trajectory in life. Too many.


The current Minister for Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah earned a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1985. He earned a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard University in 1994 where he was a Baker Scholar and Loeb Fellow.[3] He is a member of ICAN (1992) and became a CFA in 1997.[4] He earned Dean’s List honours in his MBBS graduating class at the University of Nigeria (meaning he was one of the best graduating medical doctors in his undergraduate class), and was awarded national prizes in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examinations. (meaning he had one of the best qualifying results as a chartered accountant when he changed career).your so called audu ogbe start importing grass from brazil so shut the fuccck up, people like you can support anything from this buharis goverment but some of us are not mumu like you we ve sense of our own ,

Enelamah worked as an Audit Senior and Consultant with 1988 at Arthur Anderson (now KPMG Professional Services). He later worked in the New York and London offices of Goldman Sachs in 1993 before joining Zephyr Management as an investment manager where he rose to Principal in the Johannesburg office between 1995 and 1997.[5]

Enalamah founded African Capital Alliance (ACA), a private equity firm, in 1997 where he served as CEO until his appointment to the Industry, Trade, and Investment portfolio in November 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Minister Audu Ogbe's work description is Politician and Farmer, according to Wiki. As of 2009, he was chairman and managing director, Efugo Farms, Makurdi.

Even if he lied about people importing pizza from England, what does that have to do with his undergraduate degree? Reno was once in government. If they had converted Nigeria to Rwanda, not even UAE or Malaysia, in effectively handling the politics and economy, his party and principal wouldn't have been voted out of office.

Finally, it may not be false that some Nigerians, the super noveau-riche, may indeed be importing pizza from England when they crave for it. It may be an infinitesimal fraction of our population, but it doesn't mean it cannot happen - for crying out loud.

Didn't a Nigerian artiste release a hit track about travelling to a European city just for a meal?

Sometimes, or often times, Politicians get abysmally low in going against themselves. Interestingly, they do all that to get the attention of the public. In their closets, they are all friendly and they respect themselves.

This is a Reno who parades himself as a Christian leader by the way. Where did he read that Jesus did this?

Oga, everyone are guilty of this,although I don't really support that of pizza importation but we Nigerians do crazy things at times just to show off, but the fact still remains that we don't appreciate our own things,this has been happening since our independent,there are two different versions of peak milk,but people love to buy the one that comes from Holland , but both are the same, what about u Mr reno,why are u in abroad,why your children are staying and studying in abroad,don't we have good schools here?, u are also having your medical check up over there, I remember one barrister songs of 1970's/early 80's that my dad use to listen to, where he said
"if a white is cooking rice for sales at higher price,and a black is also cooking the same rice at affordable reasonable price than that of white,even if it better than the white own,we will always go for the white rice"

Oga Reno, actually it makes sense to import grass, i just don't know about from brazil sha, but even at that it makes sense; except we get into a program where we can grow more grass in nigeria for cow consumption. Nigeria is too populated to have farmland and animal feed lands. Even the farm lands alone will not be sufficient.


I would prefer that we train to have the best food inspectors in the world because that will favor us more. I am very sure that Brazil is way more advanced than any african country especially nigeria, when it comes to food production and industrialized farming. I am cool with that, what i am not comfortable with, is the credibility of the inspections that will take place when it arrives in nigeria.


The only way out for nigeria is technological farming like most asian countries.

.
why will we not import.
1. is the Govt. providing adequate power at a reasonable price to power up factories to make these items.
2. has government provided accessible roads and good railway/dry port (at reasonable price to income) to enable seller move their goods without damage to place of buyers.
3.has govt provided the enabling environment in form of tax holidays or harmonized tax regime or even subsides for critical goods especially agriculture.
4. has govt provided easily accessible financing for business at affordable rates to enable business make profit over long term.
5. does govt take the welfare of her work force as an important factor knowing that their income is what encourages consumer spending.
6. has government looked into their bogus allowances and see how these unnecessary luxuries increases affect overhead cost and budget and reduces money meant for infrastructure.
7. has government not looted the treasury including importing grass from Brazil , over inflating military equipment and siphoning money overseas rather than keeping it within our economy.
8. is govt making accountable money given to her including security votes, unaccountable money to senators.
9. does she publish her spending and make available the information to the public for accountability.

when u put all these together, u will see why we are in such a comatose state.

Auxtin85:
Their lies are being celebrated by their olodo followers, I know someone here will call for Reno’s head for reacting to this lie.

What beats my imagination is the way some people accept the lies. But how did Buhari manage to select only liars as ministers?

wonder233:
Must we politicize everything? If you stay in upscale areas of Lagos and Abuja, you will know that truly Nigerians are importing pizzas from abroad. Why are we acting here like we don't know our people? The average Nigerian wants to 'prove', he wants to show off class. When Shoprite first opened it's franchises in Nigeria, the rich saw it as a perfect rendezvous, but when the hoi poloi also invaded the place, the rich stepped up and now go abroad for their own shopping.
When jumia, konga, etc first came on stream, they were patronised by mostly the rich, now they prefer sites like amazon, Alibaba, etc where items are priced in dollars and pounds.
All the latest model cars and phones, are being lapped up by Nigerians, first class air ticket seats to UK and Canada, same thing.
Look, forget Nigerians are vain people naturallly.

symbianDON:
audu ogbeh made very solid meaningful points....if you ignore those points then the joke's on you. I'm sure omokri doesn't realize that his tweet only made a mockery of himself!!

Gazzy88:
Why is reno himself living in the abroad and not Nigeria? If you can't answer this correctly, then you should leave the minister alone.

lexy2014:
So reno is now d standard 4 APC people to follow

Gazzy88:
If you want to come to equity, it has to be with clean hands. Why is he living abroad, is Nigeria that bad for habitation? I hate hypocrisy...

kaypling:
But seriously not everything needs a rebuttal. Pls who doesn't believe Nigerians can do this? I can see this happening very very well. There was a time stupidly rich Nigerians would take a flight to London first then fly to Abuja cos they didn't want to fly local flights.
