Greetings my Beloved Ndi Igbo

Let me start this by saying we all know the Nigerian state is designed to be against Us as a people, from government policy, to infrastructure, to security agencies , recently even educational bodies.
Luckily for us the people piloting and driving this anti Igbo sentiments are not so smart and are limited to what they can actually do because of the strength of Igbo diaspora lobbying block

Let me get down to business months ago Soludo knowing Igbos controlled majority of the pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria decided to build a pharmaceutical village... Where our sons and daughters would bring their pharmaceutical factories , to that effect he called a meeting with all the Igbo pharmaceutical giants and they told him reason they don't manufacture primarily in the east is because All pharmaceutical products must be important through either Lagos airport or Apapa port so he dropped the idea

That got me thinking really how many sector are limited by Nigerian government policies.. I started to research.. Garment industry, cosmetics, metal works/ fabrication, Pharmaceuticals, agricultural industries, and a few others

I started to look for solutions to make this sectors thrive even under the Nigerian useless policies... Then came the idea of Free Trade Zone... This is exactly what China used to thrive even under socialist government
All major Chinese cities u know today have massive Free trade zone

So what exactly is a Free trade zone
It's a designated geographic area within a country where goods and services can be imported, manufactured, or re-exported without being subject to customs duties or other trade restrictions. It's essentially a special economic zone that offers businesses within it certain advantages in trade and investment. ... Which means in this zones Nigerian economic policies won't work.. 100% free trade

If Soludo had simply converted his pharmaceutical village to a pharmaceutical free trade zone... Those companies would have relocated, imported from every sea port and airport just tag the delivery point to the free trade zome

The reason Aba can't compete with Bangladesh n Pakistan in the garment sector is government policies, the import duty on fabrics makes everything they produce above international average price... So makes it difficult to sale

If Abia can create a garment factory free trade zones, the people their can import fabrics without any single import duty, from any port they choose and can then compete favorably on the global scale

Again we need to do more, Nigerian political elites are not smart ever can always find away around their policies it won't be that hard if we try hard enough

Sorry for the grammatical blunders, English writing has never been my strong point

Interesting stuff

Why must you import fabrics?

Professional importers.

The people you are importing it from, do they have two heads?

Why don’t you make the fabrics so they can import from you?

All these import duties are there for a reason - to reduce capital flight and encourage local innovation and industry.

Why do you like naming others for your inefficiency.

Tinubu conceived and birthed Free Trade Zone In Lagos today the place is filled with industries with Dangote Fertilizer and Dangote. Refinery as Nigeria industry yet you and your people abuse same man but Peter Obi you praised as the best governor didn't to establish one.

Now you claim it is marginalisation rather than it your leaders have been sleeping

I have always asked lgb0s to list how "the Nigerian state is designed to be against Us as a people, from government policy, to infrastructure, to security agencies , recently even educational bodies", I have never heard or seen any empirical data from a good source other than their beer parlor talks from them, a group of entitled people who has never built a successful society in their entire existence until the white men came to create Nigeria, that was what gave them relevance.




Okrika is a booming business in Nigeria today because of lgb0s, the importation of okrika kiIIed the Nigerian garment sector from different parts of the country, that's a clear case of lgb0s being against others but we all pretend we are not aware.
99% of fabrics produced in Aba are adulterations of existing brands, the Fendi, Balenciaga, Bonetta Vendetta, Adidas, Nike etc etc, every fake brand u see in Nigeria today comes from Aba, they are banking on the success of those brands by adulterating them yet same people are talking about growth.
The musician Zlatan started a clothing line, before he could kick off, adulterations appeared in Aba, coming from people claiming to be so smart.


Aba is notorious for producing everything fake, from drugs to shoes to clothes to auto parts etc, these are the people looking for growth.


You lots should learn to create and grow your own brands and products before looking for growth, these bogus talks from year to year won't just sky rocket you into growth.

These folks are pàthètic, PitObi càñ't even build a proper market talk more of a free trade zone.

They are a people that thrives on importation, remove them from the country today and importation into Nigeria will drop by 80%.
Their importation ended so many industries in Nigeria.

who initiated the idea of free trade zone in Nigeria?

A free trade zone requires federal government approval.

A State can create something like an enterprise zone or something like that, but it will not have many of the tax advantages that companies located in a proper free trade zone get.

If I'm you I won't want to continue sharing the same country with such people.


I will be buying original from your people making original in Osun state.

If you sincere to yourself you won't
be asking this question. Let me give you one example. Buhari started standard rail project from Lagos to north and down to Niger republic leaving out the region that need it the most.
This is just one example
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2022/09/65-of-containers-from-abroad-end-up-in-southeast-niwa/amp/

Also Nigeria national gas pipeline was designed to take gas out southeast to every other region but excluded SE states

Should I also remaind you of recent JAMB glitch

Factcheck0001:
who initiated the idea of free trade zone in Nigeria?

Free trade zone is an old concept in economics first in nigeria was in 1989( calabar free trade zone) ... So I would say IBB

What exactly has that got to do with my point

Kemetian:
Why must you import fabrics?

Professional importers.

The people you are importing it from, do they have two heads?

Why don’t you make the fabrics so they can import from you?

All these import duties are there for a reason - to reduce capital flight and encourage local innovation and industry.

For you to export you must source materials for from the cheapest source

It's called comparative advantage in economics

To produce fabrics as cheap as global average woman need 100s of billions of dollars of investment and years neither of which we have

All the top garment producers import fabrics

Ttalk:

Now you claim it is marginalisation rather than it your leaders have been sleeping

I don't know if you have problem. With English or you are just being slow?

Where did I say Lagos free trade zone is marginalization?

First free trade zone in nigeria is calabar free trade zone of 1989

Sometimes keep quiet if you dont know about a sector

Nigerian government policies on fabrics makes it easier to import finished goods ( garments) than raw materials fabrics

Because u want to protect an unviable northern fabrics factories

Make fabrics imports duty free and watch okrika go away

between devil tinubu n angel obi

Who brought free trade zone during their tenure?

JagabanBorgu:

There is a reason why the top economics on earth are earths biggest importers

Importation is never a problem lack of exportation is...

DeLaRue:

Create the zone apply for the free trade zome approvals we the Igbos would do the pressure mounting

Factcheck0001:

Tinubu brought free trade zone... So what exactly is your point

Free trade zones are a scam western multinationals sold dumber, poorer countries. They want to make their money without taxes so that nobody benefits from their presence except the multinational. Then, the leader (usually corrupt) will tell the people they should be grateful the company is there. So you have a free trade zone where a multinational makes 1billion USD a year. No tax, but they will say '700 jobs were created' '2000 jobs were created'. The more jobs the more they underpay, the less jobs the more they higher their own foreign people.

so you don't know Peter Obi also did something similar at Onitsha? Where do you think innoson, SAB miller, and so many other industries are located ?

armchair economist

I want mrvitalis to tell us how the Nigeria state is designed to work against Igbos

Lagos, Ogun, Ondo and many other states in Nigeria already created FTZ decades ago without beefing anybody, FG/States. But you people with your toxic attitude and bitter mindset must attack everyone for everything about you, even when we are not aware or interested in whatever going on in your enclave. So distasteful!!!

the only motivating factor for an Ibo is hate.

If u want an Ibo man to take something serious, attach hate to it. Tell him the yorubas or Hausas hate what he's doing n he will add more energy.

Same method nnamdi kanu used.
Same method LP is using now and that's y they believe yoruba is responsible for all their problem

All these import duties are there for a reason - to reduce capital flight and encourage local innovation and industry.

Have you done any form of production in this country?
Do you know that Nigeria is one of the most production-toxic country?

A colleague started a small medical reagent factory in this country. It survived for only 4 years. In fact, he started paying levies and taxes the day he put up a signboard.
He even tried to keep it running up to 4 years, many manufacturers pack up within months or 2 years.


When you add the cost of NAFDAC (with all their opaque bureaucies), diesel power, electricity, salaries, federal taxes, state taxes, local government levies, sign board, waste management, licenses, the unit cost of your product will be so high you will not be able to compete with the imported alternatives.

It becomes commonsensical to shut down and the importers.

Most of you are just arm-chair critics who have never lifted a finger to walk the talk of production.


Painful truth- Nigeria will continue to be import-dependebt for the next 60 years at least.

Profit from the system and keep your money in dollars if you know what is good for you. ....

I advised people to keep their money in dollars in 2015 when dollar was N400, we all saw how that panned out. Today the dollar is N1600.

Am I not 4 times richer than I was in 2015? I knew Buhari had nothing to offer, just like your present president, and I will profit from it. The megalomaniacs (Buhari and Tinubu) simply want to be presidents, just to answer 'Mr president'. No fresh ideas reside in their thoughts.

You vote empty politicians, I study the system and become richer. Head or tails, I win.
