Nigeria

If they can give me chance to rule this country for 4years, I will turn it to China. Stop all importation of finishing goods and start produce everything in Nigeria. Anything we can't produce we don't need it. Scrap National Assembly and go back to regional. Each region should generate revenue and send 30% to center.

I don't know what to say. Bye

Why now?

Good

[quote author=winterfell007 post=83384897]As simple as that. Our farmers don't have the technology needed to be competitive. The major reason why foreign rice from India and Thailand is cheaper is because they adopted better technology in the rice value chain.
If the government wants to help the farmers, they should import better technologies and give them to the farmers. You can't close down the borders because you want to help local farmers at the expense of local consumers [/qu.
*Benin Republic has a population of 12 million people. But it is the worlds 5th importer of rice. In 2018, it imported rice worth US$996m.*

*Benin is also world's largest importer of _used_ _cars_ and __second_ - _hand_ _clothing_ . All with a population of 12m people.*
*DO YOU WONDER HOW?.........*
*Don't!*

*98.2% of these imports into Benin are only on transit; their final destination is _NIGERIA_ !*
*Nigeria is world's largest consumer of used cars and second hand clothing, and is also Africa's largest consumer of Asian grown rice.*

*The problem here is that all these imported goods attract appropriate import duty and trade tax, which are paid to the Beninoise Government while the goods are thence SMUGGLED into Nigeria WITHOUT ANY PAYMENT to the Nigerian Government and, thereby, adding zero value to the Nigerian economy!*
*Sadly, THIS IS ALL DONE BY NIGERIANS!*

*Granted, ECOWAS/CEDEAO charter allows for free trade between member states, but _on_ _goods_ _produced_ _in_ _member_ _countries_ , and NOT on imports from other economic blocs.*

*Where foreign goods are transiting through a member country, and ending up in another member country, the ECOWAS charter stipulates that the country of transit MAY collect a token trade tax, and its Customs officials should then escort the goods to the border of the importing country and hand it over to the Customs officials of the importing country!*
*But what we see in the case of Benin Republic is that it collects _CUSTOMS_ _DUTY_ plus _TRADE_ _TAX_ , and then allows the goods to pass through its hinterland for onward smuggle into Nigeria!*

*This is a clear violation of ECOWAS statutes and no nation can condone such costly infraction.*

*Nigeria has tolerated this nonsense from Benin for far too long and it is time to stop the malpractice if we want Nigeria's economy to grow.*
*(Therefore, whoever cries foul because we have closed our borders to smugglers while we're putting our act together, IS AN ENEMY OF NIGERIA!)*

*Nigeria makes up about 74% of ECOWAS population and about 71% of its economy. It is ECOWAS that needs Nigeria and not the other way round!*

ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEMBER COUNTRIES MUST BE BASED ON EXTANT REGULATIONS!

Peter Wife is the cause of all the problem in the family, imagine Paul will visit Peter, Peter will tell his wife to go and boil Eba water for Paul to eat the Egusi soup that she cook, but she will refuse, complaining that she can't go and do Eba for a person she's older than, she can only do that for her husband but not Paul.

And she also stop Peter from smoking ganja with Paul and Jude, and you know ganja brings men together, she's just there to take Peter all to herself, and Peter himself is a woman wrapper. Peter always do the cooking in the household while she watches BBN.

Why GHANA dey cry is because indirectly they come buy at cheaper price some of our nigerian products and go make profit in GHANA. And in Ghana things are very expensive because of currency differences between cedes and naira.They have not seen anything yet..

many company closed in Nigeria last year because of shortage or lack of electricity and went to Ghana but all their goods are shipping to Nigeria. The company complained of increase in fuel price
