what is wrong with custom

Antyislam:
Tinubu does not mean well for Nigerians , he must be rejected

Is Tinubu your president ?

SadiqBabaSani:
Na waah, how recent is this news

You even care to ask, the clothes still dey enter Sha...

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.

General talk.
Improve the economy...
HOW? HOW will the economy be improved, State it clearly.

Introduce tax incentives for Local manufacturers.

Find our comparative advantage internationally and improve and encourage export.

Reduce incidences of double taxation.

Improve security so farmers cam get back to the farm

Transit our oil industry to sell more processed products than just raw oil

But how does Customs know the disease Status of used Cars the former owners could also have diseases

Just say FG want to encourage local Textile and Clothes Production which is not bad

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.

Open your eyes you will see the made in Lekki free trade zone was stamped on it after packaging. Different font, shoddy job , I definitely won't buy because if the writing is bend what will be the condition of the item inside.

Who is producing jeans, t-shirts and shoes in Nigeria that the ban on okrika is trying to protect?

Instead of seizing, a reasonable government could initial sanitization of those imported clothes and generate more revenue. I am sure importers would rather pay to sanitize their imported good by an agency prescribed rather than loose the whole goods.

The charges for sanitization shouldn't have to be exorbitant so consumers wouldn't suffere for it.

Who in Nigeria is producing jeans and polo?

They banned rice and encouraged local production. Where are we today? A bag of rice is almost 40k now.

If this story is true this is the time that we will buy a pair of jean #10,000, because na all these okrika guys use they hold body for street even boutique are also patronize them but Nigeria government want to distroy everything for us

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.

no be only atiku,na abiku

God bless you man. Let's find our comparative advantage and do it soooo well that it covers for other things we will buy and have excess. Dubai majorly run on Tourism, that is man made not Natural resources, we have nations that Run on Education, some Hospitality, some dont need Natural resouces to thrive, they create something . If we can't do it as a nation do it as a sub nation. Where Calabar perfects Hospitality and lagos Perfect commerce, the west Perfect Education while the North Perfect Labour. Then FG Perfect Natural resources. But no these greedy people will Focus on themselves. U said I should not buy used but you refuse to provide enabling environment to Citizen, how will a startup pay up this light bills and Rent (Landlords and agents are exploiting people and the government is looking). Before you ban in the name of PROCTECTION, there must be something you are protecting.

how far with our protectionism with rice? Where are we today?

CheapHomes1:

Atleast Before you initiate a "PROTECTION" there must be something you are protecting. Now they want to protect what is non existent, so importing becomes smuggling and custom earns money that is suppose to go to Government.. you cannot be importing through the sea and not be corrupt because you must settle. Import a car years ago with 600k and clear with almost same amount..
We have Gold, oil, cocoa and plenty etc, for God sake some nation need just one to grow, our leaders finish it up and come out to frustrate the common man. Comparative advantage will settle the Bulk of our economic problem
We have bigger ports why not make importing easy charge your taxes and watch other nations like Benin use our Ports.

they sit in ac cooling offices and have no idea what Husseini that sells used clothes for through just to put food on the table, neither women who depend solely on these to cloth their kids. Personally, before government should ban anything, they should have procured a sustainable alternative

frndfghtr:
eburu ozu onye ozo, odika ebu nkwu nku, one day it will touch ur own source of income, APC na one by one e go reach every body, why not custom size imported fuel, where we can build refinery

no mind the guy. Are new clothes 100% safe? No be person sew and package am? Yeye country.

But u fail to ban our politicians and theirs children schooling abroad don't u think is killing our education system and also our politicians and their families visiting foreign hospitals, what happened to our local hospitals don't u think our politicians traveling outside country for medical care is killing our local hospitals and making people lose their jobs. I pity those youths that is still supporting our evil, selfish and wicked politicians.

CSTRR:
My mother used to sell used clothes and part of it funded my education.

Where are the textile companies?
Have you provide a policy frameworks for that sector?

Have you encourages special economic zones for textile production?
What of cotton farming?

Are the farmers still in farm or they have all left the farm thanks to insecurity?
Have you given them low cost funding for modern equipments?

Wuruwuru to the answer govt.

Nigeria is cursed with leadership. They think from their leg not brain.

Na so dem rush ban importation of rice and today rice is as expensive as ever. The so called local production na scam.

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!

the guy see protectionism for economics textbook begin think say theory and practical are same. You don't even need to ban a product, just upscale your production quantity and quality and importers will fizzle out of business.

Now the d federal government is handling it ASSu are striking due to fund so tell me when atiku now stop to fund it meaning the whole nigeria will hardly get or be educated

U are a shame to this nation

Exactly they ban rice for.local production that is in process not that the production had.a standard already .....
Poor leader will low critical thinking ability ...
I realise they use their standard of wealth to judge Nigerians and hence banned as they like as if all is rosy for everyone

Exactly, unfortunately the government is the biggest anti-industrialisation.

Electricity, the government cannot produce.
Fuel, the price is now about N800 per litre
Basic fundamental industry (coal, steel, plastic, etc) non-existent.

And the government still expect that by magic, Nigeria would start manufacturing microprocessors!

How can you be importing fuel and then come around to preach protectionism....Is Nigeria self sufficient in rice production? Is Nigeria self sufficient in car production? With a minimum wage of 30k and contracts staff all over the country, do you think they can afford innoson cars? Do we have stable electricity to drive the manufacturing sector that will in turn build local industries? This Government is a curse to the Nation.
