I have been hearing of Anambra Rice, Ebonyi rice but till now I aint seen sh!t. Those flattiess are damn too greedy to sell something at affordable prices to all

Let's break the cycle of ethnic chauvinism. Don't descend into that Valley. God bless.

Am sure u won't see d bright side of this news as usual, always cynical

Godprotectigbo2:


ofonja people sef



wetin happen to ofada rice or is it propaganda as usual



lagos kebbi rice

PresidentAtiku:
See what Buhar has reduced Nigerians too! Rice was 9000/ bag for good foreign rice under the last administration. Now we celebrate 13k for local rice! Smh

I will still prefer to pay 13k for naija made rice (the word 'local" is derogatory) than pay 9k for imported rice. Mind you, imported is just a bloated word; the rice kills more than it nourishes.

We should know by now that depending on importation for some of this items (especially food, more especially rice) is plunging our economy into ruins.

The extra 4k is the farmers' profits. He takes the 4k (or many 4k's) to the market to buy clothes, shoes, bags, belts etc, pays his children's school fees, afford to buy good textbooks for his children, pay electricity bills etc etc. The effect is like a web that affects the totality of our economy.

I can go on and on but this rice initiative came just in the nick of time.

God bless you.

They need to format dis people brain, government selling 10kg bag of rice for 13k and ur happy, it's better I continue buying 50kg at 25k

Epic response Tnx

Humans are so insanely irritating or irritatingly insane. Earlier this year you guys were like rice is too expensive, what does the govt want us to eat. Now the same "dullard" govt produced rice with the help of Kebbi and Lagos states yet the moronic plagues are still complaining. What of beans, oil palm etc
One question....Can't you farm sir?

Ur moniker says it all, u b ajebuter... tho myt be fake ajebuter tho lol but still u b ajebuter... no rush go buy am wen e komot, u hear Dey form ajebuter upandan lol

ajebuter:
Nice one from LAKE

But I will still go for MAMA GOLD anyday..

Sorry...

i won't believe this until it start selling everywhere in lagos

Timmypromise:


You are right

I still don't know how they are going to sell without traders and politicians hijacking it. The best sure would have been government appointing mobile sales men selling same via mobile show trading

Nope its 13k, read well

Lake Rice for N15k is on a high side.

What will be the final price to consumers?

Hope it's not for the party boys. Nigerians like to make noise even when what is available is not enough to feed 2 LG let wait and see

Sibrah:
for point 5, You can't controll who the farmers decide to sell the rice to. Example of Cassava and cocoa demonstrates this. I ton of cassava was reported to yeild N60k worth of garri before the recession when $1=N165, but after Naira lose value to around N300/$ minimum, same cassava that produced N60k worth of garri can now earn the farmer at least N120k via export.

Do you know how much one tonne is?

Ajimobi.

Yhu see your life??

very useless governor

freeborn76:

What stops you from planting them?

Capital, land, which bank want give me grant. Will you.
I'm actually happy that rice will be sufficient.

I'm actually happy that rice will be everywhere. Next is palm oil.

We can sell to neighboring African Nations economy will boom. Calm down Oga Ade

saintdennis:


I love this question but it's more question for my dear edo state, also other southern and eastern states.

Pz bought 22,000 hectares in c/river for palm products (palm oil, kernel etc) farming last year, no news on the project so far

I hope Nigeria will bounce back as soon as possible. at least we can export to other African countries

Ambode for president!
The dumb & d.aft nomad @ aso needs to learn some management skills from ambo!

Bolustic:
This is logical

1. We saturate our local markets for our residents

2. They get it at affordable price

3. They experience a nice Xmas

4. Then we fill our silos and storage facilities for next three years

5. THEN WE THINK OF EXPORT

Unlike some people who would start with number 5 and declare fake billions.

And beat empty chest claiming nobody can survive without them.

They are selling directly to the consumers, Lagos has 57 LG / LCDA, go to the nearest one to you and buy your rice.

Horlufemi:
Rice Rice Rice everywhere

What of Palm Oil, Beans and the rest.

One step at a time.

Its a pace setting effort.
Let others join

JoshMedia:

Rotfl! It's step by step, it's a process. Gradually the rice quality will improve.

TonyeBarcanista:

You are not serious. We are yet to finished one half of Buhari administration,. Remember he just recently selected his minister. So why are you talking about another President-to-be. Do you know how many people would die till that time? Why are Nigerians like this?

your people said why did PMB launch school feeding program in Anambra state that their children are not hungry and that they can all feed their children so well
and you are here saying do you know how many people will die from hungry-kai why are you people so confuse u hate buhari dose not mean u should hate is good works for making nigeria grown rice available
