heed101: Has the closure really made the prices of what you buy in market increase drastically? And please come out with real proof. Let us just not make comments because we want to criticise Buhari. The policy is good. You are crying kidnapping daily, dont you want to be safe? Oga, I am a farmer and I am.enjoying it. Sales is moving for me. If it continues, things will change. These smugglers are reasons farmers are not doing well. There are efforts to assist local production. Only these smugglers are killing all the efforts. On this one, Buhari is a goal. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

sallyopy: I get that we should patronize our local farmers. But I don't like local rice. It tastes funny to me . Is it by force for me to eat something I don't like? Enforcing the border closure to encourage the sale of local rice is just being sentimental and dictatorial. In life, we all must have a choice. 1 Like |

tizzle: He has close border for one month and you are still shouting he should make rice available. Did you buy rice recently at a terrible price? Think, think, and think again. You think if local farmers aren't producing you will not have see real anger and rages from the citizens. You better watch well before you make comments. These smugglers are destroying efforts. There is no way local producers will function with these unrepentant smugglers. When they start losing, they will stop. Oga, do you understand the meaning of closing borders for over 1 month, yet no one is crying bitterly the high cost of rice. Think. You just want to criticize Buhari. On this one the man is a goal. Or do you want to die? Even it has helped security. You people should learn to appreciate good things. I also criticise Buhari too in many areas. But if this is the only area he can address just like how OBJ addressed mobile communication, I give it to him. Yes,security is why I supported him over Jonathan. I know he is not sound with economy. But it is security we really need now, but he is not even doing as bad as I think he would do I terms of economy. Just the canals that are causing troubles. 4 Likes 1 Share |

HenryThegreat1: What is the price of rice sir? Come put and analyse it and stop talking in unknown language. Stop spreading useless lies. I am not a fan of Buhari, but this is the best policy so far. So he should allow smuggling to continue because you want to eat rice. Right? You better take your time. Soon, kidnappers will visit your house if you dont take your time. Na that rice you want to eat will kill you. Do you hear me. Its only food you know. Go sit down. We appreciate what Buhari is doing here. If you like,cry...baba will not open it. Ungrateful people. You must be an agent of rice or car smugglers. You think he is weak like Jonathan. No way. Jonathan that spoilt the ban on importing 10 years used vehicles. Very weak Jonathan. 5 Likes |

They will make money from you. the Northern border can't be closed, Buhari wants his Fulani brothers from the Sahel to partake in the money making illegal business(smuggling) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrWlM_-R5P4 1 Share

Buhari is so Anti -business and detest prosperity. I have never seen any leader that's so passionate about economic stagnation and lacks understanding of Value creation. The more you hurt business the more people lose their jobs..

Zhezhi:Oga go to Idiroko and see how these bikes are used to smuggle rice in. Its same in SW west. They even use canoe to smuggle in cars. What are you saying. Be grateful for this opportunity to crack these smuggling activities. You sound like a smuggler. You are an enemy of Nigeria. If you dont take your time, kidnappers will visit you and your family soon. You people are just unreasonable. This rice you want to eat will kill you all. Price rice rice rice. You are all gluttons. Buhari is trying in this. Stop this madness a d let him stop these ma.d smugglers. Ha ba! Ungrateful Nigerians. I am.a farmer. know the impact of this. Marketers and Importers are calling us now to start cultivating. Before, they dont look at our side. Leave baba alone. He is working. I am a farmer a.d I am seeing the good impact. You are a smuggler. Get the heck out of nairaland. M.ad people. Seun and all mods, keep pushing news like this to front page. I will be here to talk about update from farmers' perspective.

SoNature: Is this government good at improving anything, has anything improved since 1960, he should just leave the border the way it was and not let hunger kill Nigerians, rice Is almost our only food, and we don’t produce enuf....those that have old stock are trying to milk people dry by selling a bag for 24k...but they will run out soon... This government only do things that makes masses suffer ....they will still be eating imported rice, fly abroad for health care, send their children abroad, use our money and security agent to protect them selves....it might look like the boarder closure is a good thing in theory..:: In reality it’s not....it’s a fire brigade approach with no care as to how people relying on the produce from the boarder will survive |

1StopRudeness: Bring the fact out. When you are cracking smuggling, they will also fight. Let it be N100k. As far as it works, it's fine. What goes up will come down. Let us support him for once. I will rather eat let rice now till smuggling is really addressed. Why is it rice you ppl are shouting. Go and eat another food. Must you eat rice? I want him lock it till Benin Republic and Chad support us. Why must they destroy our economy? Why? Gradually local farmers will pick up. These smugglers have been killing local production for a long time. Its necessary to stop them first. If you want to eat rice, pay for it. Even its N200k per bag, as long as the policy addresses kidnapping, I am ok. They keep smuggling ammunition too. You people are just ungrateful. Its that rice that will kill you all. Is it only food you know? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oga,I will not campaign for you or beg any governor to pay like they bailed out Siasia's mom. Even Siasia cannot pay. Is it you that can afford to pay kidnappers.

I watch a security program on AIT when one of the robber said he had been importing ammunition from Burkina Faso to Nigeria for the past 15years.
