₦airaland Forum

Out of every 10 containers that come into Nigeria laden with imports, only about two or three leave the country with exports, the Nigerian Shippers Council said on Thursday.

In order to address this, the council agreed to partner the Nigerian Export Promotion Council to drive export volume and halt the tradition of empty containers leaving Nigeria.

Speaking at an event between both agencies in Abuja, the Executive Secretary, NSC, Hassan Bello, said, “Out of 10 containers than come into Nigeria laden, only two or three are taken out with exports. We can do even more. We can do even 12.”

On what the council was doing to enhance exports from Nigeria, Bello said the NSC had to cut its charges to the barest minimum.

He said the digitisation of the ports and the provision of multi-modal transportation access to the ports had commenced to further support in the drive to increase exports from Nigeria.

Bello said there was also a need to incentivise exporters, adding that Nigeria’s port terminals were not export friendly, as the cost of export was higher in Nigeria than the cost obtainable in competing nations.

The Executive Director, NEPC, Olusegun Awolowo, said his agency had identified 22 export commodities that could help the country reverse the ugly trend of containers going back empty from Nigeria.

He said the NEPC would key into inland container deports across the country to drive exports starting with the Kaduna Dry Port.

Reference:
What is wrong is that China is yet to buy Innoson. So it is our interest to build ourselves into an industrially respectable entity. You as a Nigerian can only truly prosper when your fellow citizens begin to gain international industrial reputation.

And I donot care whatever business or endeavour you are involved in. It is in your interest for your country to gain industrial momentum. Making things and not just using things is what prospers a nation, cuts its dependency on foreign help and balances ttade that strengthens its currency.

Those GAC vehicles are presently subsidised ultimately by oil money and has put a little bite on our forex earnings viz pressure on the exchange rate. One mosquito bite may not give you malaria but over time it makes your economy sick.

Buy Innoson products so that IPOB can trash talk Lagos latter and say they are the one dominating and developing Lagos because Lagos patronize Innoson.

Kazeem47:
Can't they patronise Innoson?

So that some Igbo will start telling us how they are dominating and developing Lagos?


F.uck Innoson products

MrColdsweat:
You don't know your culture.

Yorubas bury their obas with 7 heads.

No where in Yoruba Land they bury a king with 7 heads. You are just spouting rumours and Propaganda

PericomaNwankwo:
Women are highly revered in all cultures. Stop being a child, it's not like yarriba women have done anything to make them stand out. Igbos are the pace setters and your refusal to admit it to yourself is why you people keep bringing up unnecessary fights.

Typical Nyamirin Osu Igbo which pacesetting is this one talking about now?

Always trying to brag over nothing like an empty barrel. You sure talk big as an inferior and insecure Osu

Cantonese:
The Igbos are always very honest and forthright. This practice is not limited to the Igbos only. It is an African culture.

Generally women are not expected to take their family'wealth to their husband's home. The general belief is that the wealth of the lady's family would be diminished while her husband's family would be made richer.

Anyone from other parts of Nigeria who makes irresponsible comments against the Igbos about this age long African culture simple deceives himself or herself.

Women are generally treated as second class citizens in Africa and this attitude.must stop. Some fathers try to circumvent this be sharing their wealth among their children while they are alive.

Our courts are filled with such cases without respect to tribe and religion. Among the northerners, do the women even have rights at all? A man marries more than four wives and treats.the whole women including his daughters as nobody. Where are the rights of the southwest women in this matter. Even the educated carry without caring about women in their homes.

The supreme court made the right judgement. Let's celebrate this sound judgement and liberation of our women.

This is very wrong female are not always treated as second class citizens in Africa. Yoruba have Installed female and still install female in the most powerful office and position in their society.

Do you know that yoruba have had a female Ooni and Alaafin in the past?

Kpartners:
Very soon one of this backward people go buy your papa house, take the land build plaza, and it will happen soon. Mpama

And would that still stop you from killing yourselves over erosion ravaged land in Anambra like you guys did earlier this year?




Typical Nyamirin

MrColdsweat:
What is your excuse for burying your kings with 7 human heads?

It is just rumours and Propaganda, we don't bury our kings with 7 human heads

MrColdsweat:
Don't be a foolish animal.

What about you yorubas that bury your kings with 7 human heads?

Lol Yoruba no longer practice that any more, It is just rumours and Propaganda

RTSC:
Indirectly saying igbos have more sense than everybody in your ethnic group.

They have more sense but have not sign the same petition against politicians that are looting their destiny in their Potopoto region.

Lol

Realtalk20:
Rule one is clear ,do not derail threads

You are the one that need to go and check your dictionary, if you don't know the meaning of "derail".

What the guy is saying is still related to the topic and he has a point. Why omit the others if there were three people that committed the crime?


I'm so sure if reverse was the case your people would never allow it and the wailing won't be minimal, but you lot won't say the truth.

nzeobi:
What he said is true, he has assisted rochas, ihedioha, dave umahi and dapo abiodun.
What pride and what fall are you talking of.

Lol how the hell did Arthur Eze assist Dapo Abiodun in APC?


They are just friends and business partners, just because you saw them together you concluded that he helped Dapo Abiodun.

Yoruba making Nigeria proud


The best to ever do it

Nicepoker:
You have started. when hushpuppi was arrested you went into hiding. respect yourself

What is wrong in his statement? You are the one that should respect yourself


Yoruba making Nigeria proud

Decryptor:
What exactly is this one's problem? Did we ask your tribe to patronize Innoson? As if your tribe can even afford the cars sef.

Whine in your hate and face front!

Then tell your cursed generation to stop wailing about how they hate and jealous Innoson online

RTSC:
Stop shouting igbo up and down like a nitwit.

I guess you are impervious to sense.

Igbos should buy it but when innoson starts employing 90% igbos and focusing on igbo centric affairs only, it is clowns like you that will start counting the ethnic composition of his staffs and accusing him of bigotry.

You are the correct definition of not casting pearls before swine.

Igbo kee you there.

You can't afford innoson anyway. So why are you crying over something beyond your level?

Look at how many times this lunatic mentioned igbo on a single post.

Look at this Nyamirin Ipig

Your father the village palm wine tapper is a lunatic

Like Innoson is not already Igbo centric, how many Yoruba or Hausa work in Innoson company?

Just because your family is wretched and poverty stricken doesn't mean you should project that to others online.

Firespitter:
Firstly, Innoson is owned by an Igbo man. if you don't like it, you can go and die.

Secondly, Glo is a stupid and dead company. Even your fellow abobaku got tired of defending their inefficiency. So hey! Don't mention Innoson together with that cursed yeroba company that is being sustained with government looted money. Get sense for once.

Typical Nyamirin Ipig.

Tell your useless father to go and die for giving birth to a cursed and wretched pig like you.

The owner of Glo is one of the richest man in the world, Africa and the second Richest man in Nigeria while Innoson is still crying for government patronage to stay in business and if not for the government that's patronizing Innoson because of pity and wailing and crying of marginalization from your generation Innoson is a dead company if you don't like it go and die.

Enculer:
Stupid cowardly slave. Go and support your Buhari. Idiot

From a coward and a slave . Ipig

Goodmarlian:
What outstanding thing has your yeroba tribe done for Africa ?

If you are asking this question then you are probably living under the rock like a Caveman.

Enculer:
Bad belle cowardly tribe.

From someone with bad Belle and a coward

RTSC:
Why are you waiting for igbos to use it before you use.?

Is the economy in isolation? Is the naira in isolation?
Do igbos have their own separate economy?

As terrible as Glo network is, did igbos wait for all the Yoruba born and unborn to use it before they start using it?

Why not pray for wisdom, if you don't have it?

The Bible says he that lacks wisdom, let him ask God.

You don't even have the wisdom to understand my post but you are here talking about the wisdom that you lack.


If all the Igbo that own private cars right now are not using Innoson and the only reason you Igbo talk about Innoson patronage is because he is Igbo then you don't have the right to talk shit to others online and accuse them of anything.


I did not say we are waiting for all the Igbo to be using Innoson before we start using Innoson. I am just saying you don't have the right to accuse others of hating on Innoson because he is Igbo when not all Igbo patronize him and use his products.



Innoson and Glo case is different. Glo is not crying for patronage just because he is a Nigerian and we want Nigerians to be using Nigerian products to progress. No Yoruba is accusing other tribes of hating on Glo because not all Nigerians uses Glo, no Yoruba is making Glo look like a Yoruba ethnic company like you guys are doing with Innoson.


How many Yoruba do you see promoting Glo because the owner is Yoruba or trying to blackmail Nigerians into using his product because he is a Nigerian? That's what you guys are doing with Innoson.

Ejanla07:
Look who is talking..

Who is begging you to buy..
Have u eaten, have u patched ur leaking hut?

Mtchewwwee
Taa

Just because you are from a wretched poverty stricken family that can't feed themselves doesn't mean you should project that to others.

stanluiz:
Igbos are the highest patronizer of innoson motors after federal government.

Igbo state government like Enugu , anambra , ebonyi, abia etc patronize him than any other state governments.

Keep deceiving yourselves


I am not talking about government or institutions patronage, I am talking about personal patronage.

How many Igbo use innoson as their private cars?

If all Igbo that own a private cars today sell their cars and buy Innoson. I bet Innoson will automatically become a giant but that's easier said than done.

I hardly see Igbo use Innoson as their private cars but you are all online trying to blackmail other tribes into patronizing Innoson. Playing victims and talking about one Imaginary hatred as if you will be using the same energy to promote Innoson if he was an Hausa man

GuyWise101:
Nna eh, this man is doing wonders.


Innoson is saying.....

*Phyno connect*
Dem say I no go go FAR, ha si na mu di LOCAL, ha si mu emene emene now the boy GLOBAL, nwa no kam asim gi HOW FAR, emena nkuja I will be a SUPERNOVA.

This is for Innoson haters.

How many of you Igbo use Innoson cars?

If Innoson was a Yoruba or Hausa man will you guys use the same energy to promote him ?

You guys are only trying to support Innoson because he is Igbo, you won't do the same if he was Yoruba or Hausa.

Stop playing victims all the time while you are not innocent

Kriss216:
I have no business with underdeveloped State of Osun.

Morning bro. Stay away from troubles, ghetto politician.

Coming from Nyamirin


No one ask you any questions before you started wailing on the thread


Go to Osogbo and see your brothers with Wheel Barrows.

more and more pain

From someone in severe pain

Killdemboth:
Guy relax. Just because Igbos dont find this Nairaland forum relevant anymore dont mean you can spread any lies you want to make yourself feel good

;DIgbo are doing far better than you yorubas. The lock down really exposed y'all. From eating rats to forming 1billion gang and stealing pot of soup, to scooping palm oil from gutter.
Igbos have not become President yet and its like this for you people. If Igbo becomes President and positions Igbos to prominent positions i wonder how wide the gap would look like. Yoruba people might turn beggars if they lose grip of federal power.
The women receiving yam are old women so they are very much better than your entire race that nearly demolished the house of the late Ajimobi while struggling for food through the damn window. I'm not even talking about the tons and tons of your people that have turned Instagram to begging zone, left right center. Am i gonna talk about the yoruba woman that almost drowned herself in Osun river out of frustration of life. My God!

Igbos are your gods. We come to your region in Ogun, Oyo and buy up your land. Lagos is not yours though.

Relax you don't have to cry this hard because I flogged your flat skull.

For you to cried this hard means I really flogged your flat skull so hard. The level of lamentation is proportional to the pain feel

Igbo will do far better than Yoruba maybe in the next generation but impossible in this generation.

A Gala seller like you that have nothing in life and may never have a plot of land till you die is here bragging about buying lands lol.

All the audio lands you are buying is still not stopping you from killing yourselves over Barren lands in Anambra and will never change the fact that Oyo state is as big as all five south east states combined.



South East is fast becoming the Alimajiri headquarter of the South and here you are beating your chest like a typical Nyamirin baboon.

Some of you now go to South West just to beg and do you want me to tell you while some of your people sell their new born babies for peanuts?


Do you also want me to give you all the link of all those Igbo fake blind beggars and Cassava thieves on Nairaland?


I don't have time for an inferior Osu like you.

IgbalodeRaymond:
e pain am well well
at least we didn't queue in Lekki and roadside to beg for food during corona
at least we didn't form 1 billion gang to terrorise neighbourhood during lockdown.
at least we where not sent expired rice during lockdown.

so you see we're doing well and our poverty capital na audio
likewise your billionaire capital.
we eat food and not some written NBS statistics headed by a yeroba Muslim.
ohhh i remember
we don't beg tinubu to recover our the land we legally sold to poverty capital people.


kiss the truth

You are actually the one crying


You threw the first jab but now it seem you can't handle the consequences.

Who told you you didn't queue for food during lockdown?

Have you forgotten how your mothers and grandmothers queued for just one tuber of Yam in Anambra?

Have you forgotten how Ikpeazu was feeding your generation with eba in Abia?

Have you forgotten how your brothers were getting killed in the hands of security operatives because they could not afford to stay at home?

Go to Ebonyi and see beggars all over the place, you are not doing well but trying so hard to convince yourselves you are doing well.

Typical feature of OSU lies and more lies, kiss the truth

IgbalodeRaymond:
[s][/s]
no sane igbo man cares about any presidency
but Apc MUST give igbos ticket
we're doing much better than any other tribes in Nigeria

kiss the truth

Doing better by being the poverty capital of the South, Economic refugees and parasites of the South. Kiss the truth lol, you sure talk big as an inferior and insecure Osu

No sane Igbo man care about any presidency but your generation continues to wail about how one Tinubu is planning to deny them presidency they don't care about, it means your generation must be Insane then
