I have a dream that one day Nigerians will begin to see each other as brothers and live as one inseparable entity.


This I pray through Christ our Lord.
Amen!!

Yes, farmers should be encouraged and supported by government to produce more. Enough of oyinbo rice.

Btw, I've been eating beans since last month

Beans since last month ? O boy! U go don freely distribute tire

Way to go people!

This is a perfect opportunity for business people to go into the hinterland to buy, package and market our rice. We can even conquer West Africa afterwards.

No more shipping billions of dollars to Thailand.

And who says we wouldn't survive without importing edibles.

well if the government puts more efforts in going deep to identity the real people processing these local rice ,it will go a very long way.Take for instance in Ekiti, there are local rice processor all over the state yet the government use foreign rice as it's stomach infrastructure.

A country blessed with fertiled soil imports comestibles with trillions anually; and later people will blame Buhari for naira dwindle. The problem is most of them that wail don't even know the factors responsible for the fall in Naira value or the inflated economy. They just wail for the sake of wailing.

Good way to go. The government should place more tariffs on import of comestibles. Let us cultivate, sophisticate and feed on our Local produce.

Is this the reason why rice in importation was banned. To buy our home grown rice at still exorbitant prices. I don't accept bthe price will further because we can never be rice sufficient because rice is infinitely price elastic. The lasting solution is for government to set a maximum price and subsidise production, buy back excess and create buffers for off seasons. Gradually, rice will be plenty and producers will be guaranteed of a contant demand.

I'm In ph and will still tell that rice is cost. A bag of rice was sold for around 9k in ph early 2015

Nice! You even got it at a fare price... special quality rice like that goes for nothing less than 16K here.

Will that same people in govt lead by example by eating the local rice with us?

Local rice is more nutritious than foreign rice. No chemical preservation. It is sweater than foreign rice. Ask Lagos people abt ofada rice. No need to ask for govt officials to eat local rice. Thanks

That was when things were still in order.

Benue state alone if explored properly and to the optimum can single-handedly supply enough rice to the whole country and still left to be exported but our leaders are short sighted in all areas!
Just few months of NYSC stay in the state has opened my eyes to a lot of opportunities that lies beneath the state.

Daniel Rice! Abeg send am down south

What a lie! Rice was never subsidize, local rice was around 8k in 2015 while foreign rice 6500 naira.

No rice is sold for 14k in any Lagos market now, be it local or foreign, a rice that will never be available in the market can never compete.

The truth, is more advisable health wise to eat more local rice than foreign rice.

I hope this is not another APC propaganda, to deceive the public from the truth.

Ah mean, u won't die if u don't eat rice.

If they like they eat pluto rice, in a much the price of the rice we consume here is affordable then to hell with the govt

How does that become my headache Bro, they can eat whatever they like just as I'm free to eat mine. They can go for imported rice, see the local rice is not inferior to the imported.

SubtleFRED:
Nice one. Atleast to help alleviate our sufferings a little but they should try bringing the price dowm a little.

BTW,i don't support any rice festival shit as it would create an avenue for the leaders to chop more

i understand what you mean...our leaders are dangerous....we shouldnt allow them any loop holes!!!...

Local but costly why
