The SG might be buying the rice direct from the peasant farmers towards the NC and NE where it is grown and then packing and adding value in anambra.

He should not have labeled it with his name . Anambra Rice would have been sufficient with the state slogan, because it is a project that should continue even after he leaves

if you read the post above you will stop being mischievous.
anambra 've lots of rice farm. benue is fertile for being in banks of benue river so is anambra for being in niger banks. you people should stop making ignorant comment.

geographically anambra is a fertile land. all over the state

Except this is a joint Public-Private partnership (PPP) arrangement, I see no sustainability in this.

Anambra State ---- light of the nation! IBB is looking out for a reliable igbo man, the question is: if obiano should step out in 2019 will u support him? Obiano is working, Weldon willie!

Those wailers criticizing PMB were born out of wedlock...

ARROBA:
Can we actually confirm that the rice been processed are grown in Anambra or that the rice were imported from overseas and processed in Anambra?

COFIRM IT HERE

If it is completely stone-free, the rice shall knock out Thai and other foreign rice off Nigeria.

Commot there, Nigeria be better led by people like Buhari, Jonathan, Obasanjo so that those who want divorce from Nigeria can have their way easier.

At one point, no body shall tell these One-Nigeria-or-Nothing people in the SW and North that it is better to have more manageable countries from Nigeria than for all to burn in one Nigeria.

Take your cynicism and nihilism to your dirty SW.

Can't you make your point without the tribal slur? You're just as guilty of hate as the person you quoted. What will it profit either of you?

If he continues in this light and turns the state around with his promise of industrial revolution, I would queue in the hot sun to vote for him. We need leaders with vision and the will to make positive things happen. Where they come from shouldn't mean diddly squat.

diegwu01:
What in this Article proves that those Pictures are indeed A Rice Factory in Anambra State?
Meanwhile, where do we have rice farms in Anambra?, someone should please educate me.
So much lies and deceit in the media.
the OP should provide proof of this and let me eat my words.
Obiano's reign is barely 2 years, yet i see pictures of Old equipment and building, and yet the OP says its a newly built factory

do your research very well, from Nando to Aguilera even down to umunze all have rice farms,I'm from Anambra

, we still need him in Anambra, transform your state before going to transform the whole country.

wristbangle:


Lol, I love obiano development but that doesn't mean you should throw tribal jabs on south west as if we are limited in Agriculture and the notion of calling us brown roof region is ridiculous bro. It's not that there ain't brown roof in ontisha.

We also have similar Agric development in Ogun state and other south west states. Have u heard of ofada rice? Ofada rice bag is common at major markets. Just like ilesha rice, Benin rice, badeggi rice and other local rice u can think of.

Very matured response..kudos..

Daniel058:
Buy Abakaliki rice, re-bag and call it Anambra rice..

go and collect seat, I'm from a town in Anambra and we have been farming rice from time immemorial

manuelzz:
The brown roof warriors won't like this. They'll first question the source,play down the importance of this great news and finally they'll scream Sai Baba...

GOWON has said it that the only way to cure Biafra from the mind of igbos is just to grant them the same chance to rule and proof to nigerians that we have solutions to their problems! Anyhow it comes we dey, if they want to separate good, if they remain as one fine... Afterall we aint getting fair play from one Nigeria. Other tribe dey show hatred to igbos. But when we(igbos) visit them(naija) in future they will value igbos more!!

Anambra state has embarked in the production and processing of rice. Anambra state under the leadership of Gov. Willie Obiano seems to be master of all.Some of the rice produced were shared to civil servants by Gov. Willie Obiano.Kudos to him

Lol! Okay o. After his two terms you can release him for us o, biko. I wish him and Anambra state all the best.

Wow! Good development. Now that's a governor with thinking cap. I trust the SE to sustain this.

Willie is working what the hell is that

Thank God for Ebonyi and Anambra states. That's called being proactive. That's the way to go

Menace2Society:
Willie is working what the hell is that

That's the problem i have with these governors, you will think he is financing the project with his money, unnecessary self aggrandizement if you ask me..

Good project all the same...

one thing i like Obiano is that you see or hear from him when a project is completed, commissioned and functional
while thhe wise so called governors of south east start and complete their projects in the media
ride on pa willy

The real challenge is ..how many of you will actually patronise made in nigerian rice?...after all the praise...you people will still buy foreign rice...den wen d industry is collapsing you say the politician have diverted the funds...

only if oda state can borow a lief from dis n diversify, job creatn will b greatly on d increase n food abundance will b archieved, tired of hearing we import evrytin frm agriculture to tech, imagine nigeria importing tomatoes yearly up to d tune of $10b. Smh

I never said Anambra is not fertile, I just made it clear to another poster who insinuated that the area is baren by stating even if they can't grow rice they can always buy and bag the rice

Biafrans are not happy

Just Negodu!

Great

This man is PAINED!

Boss13:
This is absolute nonsense. What is a state government doing with the production of rice or production activities for that matter. A venture that may not be sustained or continued after the tenure of the governor. An activity which may be marred with fraud and waste. Therefore resulting to waste of funds. Why would a governor waste public funds for an activity that private businessmen should undertake.

Government should be bothered with essential services such as transportation, security, education, water, roads. Government must prioritize ventures it must undertake and channel scarce resources into it.

Someone should tell Obiano that he would have discussed with some businessmen from his state such as the Cosmas Madukas to invest in a rice mill and obtain concession and tax reliefs. Hence, the money used by the governor to build the rice mill would have been used for essential services.

This is just a pure waste of Anambra scarce resources.
