One thoughtless policy after the other from this evil govt.

na God go punish this evil government!

This policy lack merit although we understand the implications but how many people have infected through this second hand things?

Secondly a lot of Nigerians can't even afford their 3 square meals not to talk about buy new clothes. The policy of Nigeria government is getting more difficult for poor people.

CSTRR:
Floods have destroyed olam farms, the largest rice farm in Nigeria.

A govt that cannot create dams to break the excess water coming from Cameroon will ban the imports of rice to create local production.

Is that not wuruwuru to the answer?
They just want to suffer Nigerians for nothing.

The idiots in government can't think of any effective solution to anything at all.

There's an ant crawling in your cup, how do you solve the issue?

APC: Smash the cup with a hammer.

TenQ:

Can Nigeria produce refrigerators?

Let me break down the major components
1. Insulation
2. Compressor
3. Refrigerant (gas)
4. Interior plastics
5. Evaporator
6. Condenser

Is it not stupidity to totally ban an item you can't even produce 10% of the required components?

It is exactly similar to banning importation of used cars.

There are steps to be taken before Protectionist policies are selectively implemented!

Stop wasting your reply on that demented fellow.

FreeStuffsNG:

smh. I am sure that you are ignorant of the local economy and its capacity.

I pity most of you living in that bubble of negativity and ignorance about opportunities available even within Ngeria.

That explains why you all miss out. Do not blame anyone else apart from you for why you have been outcompeted in life.

You've just displayed your gross ignorance of the technical and industrial capacity of Nigeria.

We produce nothing because our R& is zero and government policies and failures have crippled that sector.

If protectionism is that good, why is Nigeria importing Diesel , Petrol and Kerosene?

Nigerian Economists operate theories without understanding industry that drive the production

Seizing in an economy.. that is not producing ,..

After you seize .. where do you take them to...? And

Burn dem na.....

FreeStuffsNG:
Hmmm. Protectionism.

Now you know before you start complaining that customs siezed your goods or containers. Do not bring those items into Nigeria, if you do, they shall be siezed , burnt and all your funds lost.

For those ignorant of the reason and the benefits of protectionism, free yourself of hate and bigotry and get educated that protectionism is in your interest to give you jobs that can cure you of idleness.For the few ones among you uncouth, badly raised, lazy and idle youths who are ready and willing to work and end the idle life style of social media addiction, protectionism will create more jobs and credible alternatives for you

Reasons for Protectionism
An economy usually adopts protectionist policies to encourage domestic investment in a specific industry. For instance, tariffs on the foreign import of shoes would encourage domestic producers to invest more resources in shoe production.

In addition, nascent domestic shoe producers would not be at risk from established foreign shoe producers. Although domestic producers are better off, domestic consumers are worse off as a result of protectionist policies, as they may have to pay higher prices for somewhat inferior goods or services. Protectionist policies, therefore, tend to be very popular with businesses and very unpopular with consumers.

Advantages of Protectionism
More growth opportunities: Protectionism provides local industries with growth opportunities until they can compete against more experienced firms in the international market
Lower imports: Protectionist policies help reduce import levels and allow the country to increase its trade balance.
More jobs: Higher employment rates result when domestic firms boost their workforce
Higher GDP: Protectionist policies tend to boost the economy’s GDP due to a rise in domestic production.

Buhari is taking away and destroying southern businesses to create businesses for his northern brothers. The north will still get the rice and other things from their neighboring countries with their open borders with cheaper prices, and then sell them costly for the southern people. Una mumu for south never do.

Buy Nigeria to grow Nigeria


That is why we need someone like atiku abubakar, who is a manufacturer with more than 20 businesses, and over half of that is just welfarism/charity based businesses. What he does, is take from lucrative businesses to subsidize not too lucrative ones. At the end of the month, all the staff gets paid and everyone is happy with their families
he is not like obituary an importer of groceries for over 30years driving down naira value. That Couldn't metamorphose into production like Dangote , BUA, Adeleke etc

I know as the President of Nigeria. Atiku would be able to do this for all.
Follow who know road.
Vote for atiku abubakar
Vote for PDP.
PDP power to the people

Your vote na 1. So waste your vote and rest. Dont be telling us trash here.
