Largest free trade bloc in effect next month. Idk how I feel about this brehs. I already know Morocco has an agreement with the EU on free trade. This could be a back door entrance to have the African continent as a dumping ground.

I can't wait to be on ground this December. So much is going on at the moment.


Yeah I think we talked about that Morocco thing in one of the threads...

But yeah.... let's hope this doesn't turn into a dumping ground.

Do like Trump and get those tariffs going.

Funny thing is Nigeria is recently did this with rice. The Economist ran a piece on it

Muhammadu Buhari has big ambitions for Nigerian manufacturing

However, implementation is often tough due to porous borders. I will say this, Nigeria did not sign the agreement (which is good policy on their part). I don't know where I've ever seen a 55 country free trading bloc. There are numerous trading blocs through out Afrrica. ECOWAS, EAC, COMESA, SADC etc Work on those first.

Yeah. :francis:


Then again considering how African leaders are... this free trade shyt might not even amount to anything.

Might just end up a whole lotta big fan fare for nothing

Not sure about that. I know countries like France gonna be looking to dump their goods into West Africa for the cheap. Let's see how it pans out.

Nigeria is a country that doesn't even need a super smart leader, just a few competent people in charge, and it could start having large growth. smh
