Nigeria Customs Sets to Ban Okrika Clothes, Gives Reasons

The Nigeria Customs Service has announced plans to ban the selling of Okrika clothing in Nigeria.

During a recent interview, a Customs Service representative stated that the selling of Okrika clothing was harmful to the nation as a whole.

In his words:

“Okrika clothes is injurious to the health of the nation. That is why government deem it fit that it should be banned.

“One should be curious. Nobody knows how and who used these clothings. And most importantly smugglers desirous to turn Nigeria into a dumping ground. We should not accept it.

“We are a country well blessed with human and natural resources. Why will someone go and bring used products?”

Insensitive bunch that are paying 30k minimum wage but are here forming National Classism. Asan Oniranu Abuse of priority!”

Like how are we so blessed with clueless people at the top? Until they deepen the gap between the rich and the poor, they can’t rest. God abeg save this country cos I don’t even understand anymore.”
