As much as I want to applaud this initiative, my fear is the monopoly the local manufacturers

BeginsAtHome:
Is he trying to get in the good books of Mr President as he's now seeing the gale of defections and how the coalition has stumbled before starting


If anybody go praise Tinubu, no be Ali.

Even if e go be Ali, e no suppose be Ali Ndume🥴🥴🥴

continue to deceive yourself. How many strong politicians have decamped from the North?

mightyhaze:
Hope it also includes Toyotas SUVs and benz sedans


Foreign medical trips too

This is exactly where they should start from for us to take them serious

Someone that just went for holiday and medical trip abroad is banning importation.

He should have started by replacing all his foreign vehicles with Nord and Innoson.

Then extend it to all government bodies before making it applicable to everyone...

Tinubu is a Terrible President for real

The fear of loosing his seat as a senator is looming na him wan praise tinubu for his re-election, continue!!.

dederocs:

We must start somewhere and we must start, if government is serious, we can find products where we have comparative advantage and produce locally as well as import... especially reducing our imports of things we can provide for ourselves...this will reduce reliance on foreign exchange and increase the value of naira...we must be a productive nation or in the future naira will become useless, and inflation sky rocket.

where is the local rice they said we should be patronising? They just made rice price skyrocketed, nothing more.

Except it comes through Seme border.

Country wey no fit produce common buttons, electric bulbs, electric switch and spoons dey ban importation.

What can Nigeria produce sef? I guess soft drinks, sachet water, noodles and Yale biscuits.

SoftSport:
Tinubu’s decision is a great one if followed properly, it will help local businesses grow, make the naira stronger This shows Tinubu truly cares about Nigeria’s economy.

As dem ban am, where dem wan wan produce alternative?

You think companies that closed shop and picked race don’t know what they were doing?

All they know is how to make pronouncements.

Asiwaju awon ole .

Where is the road to move the local goods, where is the electricity for smooth production, where is the security, how many men do we have on our farm land. God will help us.

You call your president useless. He will behave uselessly. His uselessly will make you useless.

This defeatist mentality is evidence of a weak mind... thank God majority of Nigerians are not this weak. The nation will prosper regardless of weak minds like you.

You are the One with Weak Mind

Good decision.. applaudable

It will only make gullible Nigerian producers increase their prices

and you believe this his new development.... So Tinubu go use innoson vehicle leave escalade...make I bend

Yes it is very good to put an end to unnessary importations of foreign fake and low quality goods in the country Nigeria. BBC radio broadcast during the-- Eran (Meat) Muritala Muhammad military era when it says during broadcast the Radio broadcast said in Nigeria you get.everythig imported from ^^ Fly covered meat to Television ^^ Just imagine.

Can the President also ban foreign trips by government officials?
Where are the made in Nigeria products in place to replace the foreign ones?
Where's electricity?

Don't take out your frustrations on me.

I'm just here having fun and vibing.

No be me ask una to vote Buhari then allow Tinubu rig himself in.

2027 is not far again, lemme see what u guys will do about another bout of electoral fraud.

If you like don't roll up your sleeve and hustle. Be waiting and wailing about government.

Them no send anybody father. HUSTLE!!!

We've seen similar initiatives before, like the ban on food imports under Buhari's istration, aimed at boosting local production. However, it led to skyrocketing prices due to inflation and profiteering by some Nigerian farmers. If prices aren't regulated, we risk repeating the cycle where essentials like rice become unaffordable, with prices reaching ₦120,000 per bag while the minimum wage remains ₦70,000.

I agree with you. At least when Tinubu and other leaders stop driving foreign made cars and use Nigerian cars the economy would greatly improve. They should lead by example,. Nigeria first

You can even go all the way back to prohibition - when US banned consumption of alcohol. It simply went underground, supplied and controlled by criminals. Same thing will happen here - smugglers and corrupt Customs officials will have a field day. Once the demand is there, supply will find a way to appear.
Also, don't expect China to take this lying down

Ban that will only be enforced on the poor and average citizens.

Politicians and cronies always have access to foreign goods.

What you say is what you have. Any name that you call your dog is what will be its character and that's what you will benefit from it. I have never seen any nation that the citizens talk negatively about their country like Nigeria. At the height of the terrible situation of Ghana when their citizens were turned to slaves Ghanaians were never this abusive of their country.

The majority’ are living in abject poverty. Tell yourself The truth is bitter.

Lift your mind and see the possibilities.

You only deceive Nigerians with mere motivational quotes. Electricity failed, food failed, health failed, security failed. These are simple basic needs Nigerian citizens are asking for. Tell yourself the truth is bitter.
