Hmmm... Hustle is real..


When there's really no much difference in price between the local and foreign rice, why won't smuggling continue, and why won't people keep going for the foreign brands since its known to have better quality than the local brands..


A lot is wrong with this country.!!
I thought d govt said rice import has by reduced by more than 70%?

Here's a picture purportedly showing Nigerians using motorcycles to smuggle bags of foreign rice from Niger Republic into the country. Muhammad Murtala Musa, who works as a Customs Licensed clearing and forwarding agent - shared the photo on Facebook.

He wrote;

Nigerians using motorcycles to smuggle bags of foreign rice from Niger Republic to Nigeria thereby sabotaging our local initiatives and later blame the government. I wonder why Nigerians cannot obey a simple law.

Imagine the fvckery.

Smuggling contrabands on a motorcycle.
They aren't even concealed yet Nigerian Customs won't apprehend them simply because they are Northerners.

But from Seme to Idiroko down to Ore and even Agbor, if you like hide half bag of smuggled foreign rice and rebag it in a cement sack and further plant it in a container hidden inside a MACK truck. Customs will catch you.

Which way Nigeria?
Because most custom officers up not are southerners and all you need do is settle them and pass while most custom officers down south are notherners who don't take nonsense.

It's like you don't know what custom officers and the navy do to Nigerians who smuggle used tires, flour and other stuffs from Cameroon through Oron via the Atlantic.

Nigeria doesn't begin and end in Lagos Bro, travel out sometimes.

Right on point. I wish most people can spend like 2 yrs in the north & see who's fooling who in this country. Most of our government agencies are only effective mainly in the south & west. Imagine smuggled cars being driven around confidently with no plate numbers for months & nobody dares stop them.

What do you expect when the price of locally produced rice is twice the price of foreign rice.... The incentive to smuggle rice is too much besides the custom is the most corrupt govt agency today. They steal luxuriously

That's to show u that really, there are people above the law in this country. I once asked on thus forum that why us it only in the south that customs is waging all out war against smuggling and always cobfisticating goods but in the north smugglers are free to smuggle things as they want.
This lends credence to the fact that an average northerner always has government protection and a deliberate ploy by the northern oligarch to strangle the south economically. Shame on Buhari and he has over dissapointed me.

I went to the market and a painter of foreign rice is 1600 naira and Local rice 1500 naira. I now ask the question, what is the difference?.

Let the local rice be cheap and see smuggling stop or reduced to barest minimum. What you have is the price of local rice competing with that of foreign and I still wonder what sense is in it.
Re: Nigerians Smuggling Bags Of Rice From Niger Republic With Motorcycles (Photos) by vioment: 11:39am On Feb 17, 2018
This is not a problem, it is actually an unwise policy. We din't have enough land to feed the nation, so you produce and buy, and if it is taking the local business out of service, that means they don't know the ins and outs of farming. A bag of rice should be 300naira.

D country's northern borders are simply a sham... D customs and immigration offices over there are jus kieeping up appearances dats all... A visit to sokoto border will make U understand d folly of d whole Customs anti smuggling war which seems to b concentrated only on d western borders. More than half of d Ppl in d north are migrants from across d border who settle down in any of d states and claim residents..
few days ago, one shoe shinner came to where I wanted to buy beef... The beef selle4 was speaking Yoruba to him and he didnt understand. So he was asked where are u from...

He replied Niger... I was dumbfounded... Like WTF is this Niger hood rat doing in South West?

Yet they will come and tell you rice imports from Thailand to Nigeria has reduced due to increased local production. Meanwhile, it is due to increase rerouting from Thailand, through Benin Republic and Niger Republic.

The way you described the packaging, I had to look at your username to be sure you were not a smuggler because your description is professional. grin.

Now I want you ask you Nwaama..., in all honesty were you a smuggler before, even if it is smuggling contraband into the dormitory? because this description reeks of many years of experience.

there are no custom officers in the northern borders. you will only see them from the middle-belt down to the south.
That is why you see fulani people with guns, roaming about freely nationwide without repercussions.
I was a youth corper in potiskum, yobe state, close to the niger border.... N100 on okada or horse will get you into niger, no borders there. cool

Mr Muhammad Musa D Provost; why are you blaming Nigerians for failure of law enforcers?

I believe these people are working in agreement will law enforcement agencies.

The government who cannot secure her bother is to be blame and not the people.

Criminals are found in every country of the world and it is government responsibilities to identify, arrest, and prosecute criminals!
