News Agency of Nigeria“I will not be a hypocrite to say that we should ban all fabrics because I do wear imported fabrics every now and then.
“But when it comes to Aso-oke that I know that our women in our local communities toil at to do, and do not have the capacity to produce to scale, instead of investing in that capacity, we are acquiring a situation that others are coming to rip off our intellectual property.According to her, Africa fashion is all about identity, self-love, dignity, attitude and ownership to preserve its culture, heritage and connection to the international community.
Fayemi called for more collaboration between the operators in the fashion industry, the private sector, development partners and the government toward boosting the growth of the fashion and textile industry. Also, Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Mrs Olufolake AbdulRazaq, said that African fashion had evolved and being embraced by lots of foreigners, even in Hollywood movies.
She said that Kwara produced a lot of Aso Oke and Adire fabrics used for various events, adding that the state used its fashion as a tool for advocacy, empowerment and social development.All rights reserved.

The Aso oke made in Iseyin in Oyo state is quality than any AsoOke in the world, ban of imported Aso Oke is welcome development
They import 'Aso-Oke' too!!😲😲
Hahaha no importation on that one again at the end they will be blaming buhari sheet on that statement
Ban yourself from politics.
This weed is too much
She really has a point
This is strange. So Aso Oke is imported into Nigeria? From which country? I need to subject this to empirical investigation. Thanks to wife of my Governor for this timely statement.
Let's kuku ban everything plus u people going for treatment
Seriously we have issues in this country. There are more details to attend to and this one is taking about aso oke. God on behalf of Nigerians pls forgive us. Take us to a better place.
I support the call
Whaaaaaaat? Naija importing Aso oke? I finally give up on Nigeria
While your state is been run over by Fulani terrorist Yoruba will for a long time regret the likes of you, tinubu, osinbanjo, gbajabiamila et all.
What's is the English word for 'aso oke' from the foreign ecommerce website? These people just want to say something ni jare.
Ban importation of healthcare oo. Abi na exportation. Patronise Nigerian hospitals mbok
Let's ban foreign loans. Let's ban foreign investors & expatriates too. We must depend 💯 on our natural resources. We don't need UN, AU, ECOWAS or any nation.
Nothing Nigerians don't import into Nigeria. Sick of y'all lazy leaders
Ankara inclusive
They'll soon ban us from our own country. For that, I can't wait!
Ban. Ban everything
Make we no go wake up one morning come hear say F.G don ban Nigerians in diaspora from coming back to Nigeria, if it's true this fayemi guy must be high on isoko weed
Haaa
Am I laughing? Wow, so bisiafayemi thinks the best thing is to ban 'aṣọ oke'? So pathetic, the solution to the problem of not being able to produce to scale is to ban imported stuff so the 'not being able to produce to scale' can cause a scarcity. Eyé, in ó ra ó 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know about the imported aso Oke oo my sisters still go to Oje markets in Ede, Osun state and Ibadan OYo state to buy directly from weavers. She ones told me her favorite weaver lives in Ilorin. It’s not Aso Oke if it’s not locally hand woven
Where are they importing it from? This country eh. Let us kukuma import our shits na
How about you ban oxygen as well so we can be sure we are dead 🤔🤔🤔
This is a means in which they want to grow their pockets in order to be in charge of the project in this country
So we rather kill the competition, rather than grow our market. If we eventually ban everything, what’s the motivation to improve.
LMAO so that we can be buying aso isale abi?
Is Aso oke imported ?
I support this , the day i saw aso oke at China town Ojota , i wept for my country.
Everything ban ban ban and ban, buharinomians.
This country is a joke so our own heritage and native aso oke is imported☹from which country exactly
So they import Aso Oke 😳
So, we are importing our traditional attire too. Nigerians, when are we going to have our own industries and stop depending on importation for everything. Lest we forget, it cost in hard currency
Ok
Don't ban anything just place high tariffs on them and it would change the narratives plus you must make visible contribution to help local manufacturers first
Haha.... This is bad, must we import Aso oke? This is one of the reason there is no employment in Nigeria.
Wawuu😥 I'm hearing about imported asooke for the first time 😩
Wait! I thought it's Nigerian art work is Aso-Oke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Instead of you to worry about the herdsmen invasion na Aso-oke u dey reason. Nawa for this leaders..o
Dreamer
Once they ban it, local manufacturers will raise the price, the product will be impossible to find, before you know it, the business dies. Competition helps the economy

AbiodunOmonijo Wawu!!!! Local industries must grow by force seh
What steps has the federal government taking to improve the local productions of all its banning 🤷🏽♂️...this APC leaders lacks basic thinking and orientation. Bunch of ‘literate illiterates’ EndImpunity
Omg! Aso oke is being imported too like toothpicks and all you hear on social media is “No job” as if federal government has the ability to employ all. 🤦♀️
Tf! I'm sure it's a joke.

Our penchant for imported things in this country baffles me...
Importation of Aso-Oke. Is there something wrong with us. Aso-Oke *import* abi *export* le fe so, hmm oga o
Dear FG ,When will you ban importation of generators ?
Let them ban the importation of fuel and foreign made cars and medical tourism.
With this kind of attitude, the aso-oke will be overprice and people will still look for cheaper alternatives for their traditional parties. Not necessarily aso-oke again, then the aso-oke industry will crumble. In decades this will happen eventually.
Let's ban the importation of petroleum products and maintenance machinery for the refineries.
Let me ask goggle about the importation of Aso-oke
Tooth pick also must be ban.. Pls add. What do we do with our broom sticks
Better we can create Bette job for our local craft... Nothing like the hand made..

Joke of the Millennium

Importation of Aso oke... Ye mogbe oooooo. Awon people yi ti ko ba wa.

It's a good idea and innovation, but d question is dat? what r d basic measure dat as put in place b4 d action would be done.

Of all the the 999 problems bedevilling Ekiti today, 998 of which deserve IMMEDIATE and radical intervention and attention, this is what this First Lady feels deserves our Rulers' attention? We are done for, wallahi 😡😡😡
Not just aso-oke they should ban importation of clothes and shoes...Aba market has to move to the next level... And any of the china marketers that is affected by this should partner with the china company to come build factory here,shikina
😂😂😂😂😂wetin musa no go see for gate
Until we kill the rudimentary reason why importation is rampant, people will import cooked 'Amala, Akpu, and Tuwo' into the country. Alot of corruption is emebded in FX transactions, majorly around the rate it's been sold to different entities.
Please what are the things we don't import?
They should also ban the importation of cows....rubbish
It's only rice that they'll be quick to ban.
Vet soon we will shocked to hear FG has banned the importation of NEPA
So Aso Oke is also imported. What are will waiting for, FG should as a matter of urgency ban all things that we are capable of producing in our country.
Is the imported one still 'Aso Oke' or 'Aso Oke-okun'?
With the cage 'Globalization' forget it.. Ni Nigerian Industry will survive.
Gosh!..I tot Also oke is made in Nigeria
Let govt ban the importation of generator so they can fix power
Tell him also to ban foreign medical trips,fuel & generators import
This is a slap on us if the origin of so called material is from Nigeria and now due to poor quality we have to import is a shame
He himself doesn't wear what's made here,a Sikeena
I hope they’re wearing made in Nigeria material?
nwaegbe_nkem this is an example what i was talking about the other day about our 'buying and selling' entrepreneurship spirit.
So sad if this is true, we should get used to using our own things
😀
When will the FG stop the importation of generators
There’s still something you idiots don’t understand, as long as there’s no power in Nigeria manufacturers cannot come here it’s very expensive to manufacture anything in Nigeria🇳🇬 and still be competitive in global market prices. Your ban is making life difficult for us Nigerians
I thought border is close, how is the importation been done? Lemme reserve my thinking
I saw this yesterday and I asked some people about it and their response is that most Aso-oke are made here in nigeria but with less quality materials..So I think the government should look into the issue of low quality materials been used by the makers of Aso-oke in nigeria..
Inukwa
And the guy make sense.
When will they ban foreign NEPA?
Whaoo we import Aso oke
Hmmmmm😁😁😁 isn’t this funny... People who don’t wear Aso -oke and use of various headgears are producing it for us.... What about the numerous laces at our popular markets....
This one no go keep quiet 🤫
Aye se wa😁
We never survive the ban on importation of rice now Aso-Oke where does this people think from God
kfayemi the desperado that doesn't mind sacrificing his people for his ambition. Your time soon come, all of you.
Awon tori kope
Wawu! I'm hearing this for the first time: so, aṣọ-òkè is imported, too?
