We use that one.. and I like it.

how about price, availabilty and affordability? Heard its tastier too

why should africans eat rice in the first place? well i wouldn't say rice should not be eaten atall, but once a week is enough. African foods is the best in the world if it is nicely prepared light and nicely processed and conserved. it turned out that eating eko(ogi, pap) is far softer on the stomach that eating corn, tuwo (processed rice is better than eating rice directly, and i bet the locally grown rice would be better), our potato grown in the Jos or middle belt area is non-causing trouble for diabetic patients, however it is adviced for diabetic patients to stay off potatoes and rice and more of vegetables are recommended. African food is best for africans living in africa, likewise african food is not too nice for an african staying in siberia.
To answer your question, The nigerian average person like to show how imported he/she can be, it is not just with rice, but with all commodities. if Nigerians should eat well accordingly, light foods, vegetables, fruits, clean water just once a day which is the highest for any normal black person, within two years, a house will be built, poverty will go away many miles away from nigeria. WE (BLACK PEOPLE) EAT TOO MUCH THAT IT TAKES US TO EARLY GRAVE AND IT MAKES US POOR, UGLY AND SICK. when we pray any prayer, always say "i shall not see or touch or smell the pork or swine,

Guy if u done chop local rice u will not ask diz queshion.
Nah inside local rice I know say stone is classified into 4 types.

Jst wait till u chop d Iron stone type.

Standing ovation!

You mean thesame rice that's popularly known as "rice olokuta" i.e rice wey get stone?

That rice has been discriminated in the Nigerian market since the time of Awolowo, just package your rice nicely and without stone and maybe some Nigerians go look your side.

Where I stay over here people believe only poor people patronizes the local rice although it's has been proven time and again that the local rice has more nutritional value the foreign one but who go buy discriminated stone coated rice?

you lie,there are imported foods in every nooks and cranies of france and am sure you eat at least one imported food everyday in france and that is if at all you live in france as you want some people to believe.

Feranmicharles:
Well... I never ate foreign food cos our economy is standard here in france

Simply becaUse of stones, and that is because we don't have the right equipment to process Them...but its is loved by so many, e.g my aunt cos it has less starch

Stones the size of Zuma n Olumo rock. Otherwise very tasty.

If rice millers can do better, no contest, local rice anytime.

Ilovenigeria:
Becos of choping stone.

its ignorance or sheer stupidity that will make someone know that local rice contains more nutritional value than foreign one and still continue eating the foreign one.
That local one is more expensive should make a clear point

Feranmicharles:

My Dad loves Ofada rice but it gets soggy easily and I love my rice not glued to each other so I prefer the other type, Ofada is sweeter though.

We are not creative in this country and eager to import. Just because of stone we abandon our rice for another.

[size=15pt]I have noticed most of my friends and people i talk to prefer foreign rice to our local rice. I try to let them know it is not good for our economy, and a friend asked me if he should eat what he does not like because of the economy.

Do you also prefer foreign rice to ours? [/size]

Poor Quality, Poor Processing. not good for export.. too costly (should be free) stones break your teeth and give our kids appendicitis

I prefer the local rice (ofada) any day!

Besides, it is more nutritious

Imo, that rice called ofada is the best rice in the world. It taste better than long grain, brown rice, jazmine rice, basmati rice e.t.c but the stones eehnn.

I live in Enugu and can categorically and proudly state here that for over 6 months my family and I have been eating completely destoned local Abakaliki rice. It is nutritious and tasty. It cooks fast too. In fact though there is Ebony gold the locally made polished rice, but I still prefer the unpolished variety. The first time I cooked it nobody even noticed the difference.
