I think it's you who knows nothing about a countries economy. You want jobs, I presume, but you want to send your countries money abroad to pay for food that the "subsidized" workers of those countries produce. What do you intend to buy that food with, I wonder. With the money that drops from heaven like manna?

Inflation is a sign of a lack of productivity. If you produce more you will temper inflation, though, in all honesty, inflation is necessary in Nigeria where everything is just way too cheap. Just look at us. Buying a brand new car is beyond the means of many because you are paid so little. Don't you think your wages need to inflate? Are you not worth more?

This policy is saying "we will stop sending our money to subsidized farmers in Europe and America and will produce our own instead". You wage will increase if your productivity increases. Go and study why Trump is imposing tariffs on China. I detest the guy, but he's not stupid. Despite the immediate harm the subsidies are inflicting on his people, the eventual long term gain in jobs returning to America is immense.

I've added below some school that you might benefit from!

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

My point is agriculture is not the right sector for a third world country to be focusing on. China makes Apple products for American consumers, American farmers grow soy beans for the Chinese.

When South Korea wanted to develop, they created Daewoo and Samsung, they didn't focus on agriculture. when china wanted to develop, they also focused on manufacturing. why, because because labor is cheaper in developing countries and the production of these items require human intelligent tasks to be carried out. this is the advantage a developing country has over the western world. this is why western companies outsource.
Our "beloved" president is focusing on the wrong sector.

How can you, Tianamen, call yourself "China" and not know anything about Mao's Great Agricultural Revolution? Did China not grow apples before learning how to make Apple? Can a person who knows no 1+1 ever learn calculus?

Humans must first learn to "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the sky and over all the beasts that tread upon the earth”. It is the understanding gained from doing the above (note it's more agriculture than anything) that ensures the blessings that intelligence brings about and that you envy in those countries that you mention. Those who don't first understand how apples grow can not make Apple!

very funny comment.

very funny comment.

I'm serious. Please do not laugh. I would love Nigeria to ban the importation of the things you listed (mobile phones, computers, cars, and other electronics), but unfortunately, I just don't see a country struggling to grow crops making any of those things yet. One of my loved imports, books, is banned, so we find ways around it by writing our own (it's what we do here), and thankfully, the digital age is very good for we book smugglers.

We will get there. Our 42.54% population between the ages of 0–14 will not accept what you adults accept!

KPOM!

There is no ban but there is restriction, which is not exactly a ban, no matter how closely they resemble each other. Nor be so?

..What have you achieved as an educated person?.. Buhari has been a governor, a minister, a retired army general, a president before, a president now,and many more achievement. No one in your entire generation has come close to these achievement.. Buhari doesn't even know you exist,but you know who he is either you like it or not..

Idi Amin also did not know he existed but was president right?

Yes, calling Buhari an illiterate may seem a bit harsh but people are incensed at the suffering his bad economic policies (which includes this one) are subjecting people to.

simonlee:
The issue has been whether the president has the power to issue such directives to the CBN in the first place.
we need strong and independent institutions in Nigeria and not a dictatorship kinda utterance in a democratic setting

Educate yourself and stop whining. Buhari has been in government more than your existence.

They will starve u Nigerians to death. Accept fulani/Yoruba boy boy supremacy or die .
This is unbearable

What Financial Times said is simply the understanding of Customs, NPF, Nigerian Army, Road safety, Immigration and the business people. All these people have banned importation of Food in their minds and understanding. So FG needs to be CLEAR in their directives and orders, and go to sensitize these people mentioned.

danjumakolo:
Do u code from scratch or u use template?

I can code from scratch

When only one person in a country of >170 million people is allowed or authorized to import the most staple of food items...rice, sugar, etc; that's technically a ban on food importation.

Commentor:
And by saying this Buhari would be troubled right?

Nothing troubles the man.

Nothing I will say will do.

He is a lethal unapologetic coupist and sadist.

Worse have happened and he don't care.

Saying it is a way of wailing that Nigeria is gone.

So free me.

As short as this report is, illiterates will still find it difficult to read as their d!cks are always in the waiting for onward masturbation at every news about Buhari especially the types that seemingly criticise his administration.

In clear terms, there is no ban on food importation, but no cent will be given to the importers of same at a reduced rate. The emboldened is what the president said, or words to that effect.

Watch out for jaundiced analyses from illiterates

Mr. Professor have you taken the new job from Mrs Lauretta Onochie or you're doing job without pay.

Some of them are stark illiterates while others are just plain dumb.

I doubt Garba Shehu even understands what the president said and the path this government wants to go in regards to importation.
According to Buhari, anything that can be grown in Nigeria,even if it can only cater for 10 people,ban
the importation,no matter the consequences.
If Nigeria is not self sufficient in it now,by the time it's importation is banned,in x years,we will,even if major irreparable harm would have been done in the process.
That's the kind of economic mindset of the present ruler of Nigeria.

It is you that doesn't understand what the president said, importation from importers can go on but the government would not give you subsidised dollars as usual, go source for your dollars elsewhere.
We need raw material, medicines etc and the importers of such can be given the scarce dollars but importers of foreign rice, Apple, grapes etc can go source for their dollars elsewhere, hope you now understand
