Oga something has to be done before it escalates into a full blow crisis. The local production has proven insufficient.

Which nonsense gains? Wicked people! We shall import. We missed our lovely foreign rice.

EmeeNaka:
Tinubu is grasping at straws. He is seeking for any political goal to score as all his policies has failed Nigerians. He is trying to experiment if importation of rice and wheat will reduce hunger in short term, so he can atleast win something. But it's clear that's another ill-informed decision which will cause more anguish. The Lagos Fraudster politician, who appropriated Nigerians effort in Lagos as his own achievement, has failed to achieve anything positive since his ascendancy into power.

Opening the doors to importation will crash the price of goods.

Imagine if the price of flour and sugar falls to half its current price.
Imagine the ripple effect on the price of bread and cookies.

Deceivers and greedy farmers....which dirty gain? Wicked people

Lets import and ban local Naija farmars there have failed PBAT

It will never be well with you and your generations yet unborn. Which gains is he talking about?

But what did you Nigerians want for God sake?

You said no food in town, hunger dey everywhere, Fulani herders bitch on rampages with their deadly mission and now the Fed govt suggested lifting food importation tax and allow foods to come in NOW the useless farmers my foot now stand against it so what do you Nigerians want

These people are the mafia that enjoys the high cost of foods by increasing prices arbitrarily!
The govt should even make it 1year duty free not just six months, then re-evaluate. The food inflation in Nigeria will lead to something else if not checked!!

Food importation will erode gains made in rice, maize, wheat production in Nigeria – Farmers Association

Mad, selfish, egotists. They can't feed the whole nation, millions are starving, they hoard commodities to maintain a stranglehold on pricing and sell at exorbitant prices. Now, the government is taking a proactive step to stem the current famine and they are now screaming. Even the US, with all their agricultural feats, still import food. They are holding the entire country to ransom and don't want to stop.

Greedy Nigerian farmers. If you blame the rise of foodstuffs on transportation, what about 4 cups of garri for 1000 in the village. Upon say na there they make production

Wicked and funny people.

Criminals masquerading as farmers. Misleading the FG that they are producing enough food to take care of demand when they know they are not. Its all about accessing one agriculture loan or grant and use it to live large while the country goes through hell due to food scarcity. If you know how much FG has spent on these fraudulent farmers and nothing to show for it, you will cry for how heartless a person can be to his or her country. Hard to fine a farmer who took loan from the Federal Government through CBN or any other that returned the money without telling stories.

You should know that these fools don't want the country to rise just to score cheap and immaterial political points.

No any gain.

Local rice are more expensive

So we should all kpai bcuz of your !diotic gains

Fg should not import rice pls, Since ince buhari left us with rice pyramid

BUHARI destroyed this country. Mr Tinubu don't consolidate on his shadow like proscribed gains BECAUSE THERE ARE NO GAINS OF BUHARI GOVERNMENT BUT PAIN CAUSED.
My advice for Mr president dismantle the 8years shackles of buhari and start building your government afresh

Why would locally produced foods be more expensive than exotic ones ?

Greedy farmers, go to hell! These guys are really tormenting Nigerians.

Since you people have refused to be sensible, all foods should be imported; the government has been protecting you by raising food tariff to hefty 70 percent, but you aren't reciprocating the gesture by increasing prices at will.

God punish Una!

Newton1045:
No any stupid gain.

Local rice are more expensive

maybe the rice pyramid of bubu never reach urside

There was no gain, apart from inflation of prices

Buhari closed borders to favor our local farmers yet they wanted to kill us with exorbitant food price.

I can bet it that 98% of the members of this association are from the North. The stranglehold they are maintaining over food production, pricing and distribution is about to be eroded.

Tokskob2008:
Instead of foodstuffs to get cheaper because we now rely on local production it got more expensive.

Which gains have the local production witnessed for the past 9yrs

Only personal gains. And they don't want that to stop.

Let the importation be endless. Greedy people.

Nah. You need competition if not you’ll think you’re gods of food

Mrjakpakta:
People should just plant food in their backyard

which backyard your papa give city people enh idiooot

We can hear... Cabal voices louder here...

Pls FGN shouldn't mind them ooo...

Rice farmers using FG subsidized Money meant for their farm crops and plantations Loans to Export there products to Chad ,Niger for excessive gain trading with Dollars...

Coming here to rant rubbish...

Let them Import Food...oh we can no longer breathe... No Savings ... Business are fast crumbling..

Importation should be the least of problems for Ibrahim!
What the association should be fighting or demanding from the FG is a conducive environment for local production like effective policing,stable energy, accessible roads from rural to urban areas etc

Atuero:


If the word in bold is the situation, why not join them

Oga, there is no where in the world where food is not imported to augment local products. Besides, Nigerians are too unethical and wicked to be left to control prices like these people have been doing for 9 years now. The scarcity of food in Nigeria is man made and political in undertones.
