There is something with minsters in Buhari 's cabinet and unguarded utterances. This alone can cause panic buying which will lead to hoarding of the product and ultimately scarcity of the product. Thus granting his silly statements reality.

Instead of getting consumers so scared, why not tell both the producers and consumers plans th govt has put in place to support the cultivation of rice (I guess no plans). Enough of this cluelessness...

What is wrong in saying the inevitable if things are not done in a different way. Maby of u read and cant simply understand. If u read that article well, u will understand his point

The minister must be mad and insensitive to the masses suffering and hardship,if you continue to maltreat the people of Nigeria,APC and this minister will lose 2019 election gallantly,the consequence will be too much for APC to swallow.

dragunov:

Wow wow wow wow! Just hold it right there. Just because Heineken said something does not necessarily mean its gonna be. On what basis would rice sell for 40k? People are already farming rice in droves. And more people are venturing into it. And both states and federal government are committed. And the commitment will continue to grow. So whats the fuss? Is it not better you advise your vandalising, murderous, thieving briggands to go and farm? Can't they drop their guns and bombs and go for farming implements? The money they give to russians in exchange for weapons can be used to purchase better things. Stop blaming Buhari.

Bros. I tire for this country o. Even so called educated people now talk and act like illiterates. I blame thebpress for always using sensational headlines too. Many won't bother to read but just draw conclusions. See so called youths and educated people commenting like primary sch students.

Proverbs 24 vs 21-22 warned us abt APC bt we no dy read bible now take a look at us baba GOD u no say I no vote 4 dem na so my case go dy different

I read the article and understood it's content hence my response. I made my comment from my own"lens". I am tempted to ask what is the inevitable? I guess that government has little or no plans to support the cultivation and distribution of rice is the inevitable?
You that understood the article, is causing panic a good thing for an economy in recession?

nextprince:

Rather, it's u that should re-read it. Price of rice was 12k some months ago, it is about 26k now and it is likely to hit 40k by Dec if we don't start producing. Meaning, if we remain this way, in less than 4 months, rice will be 40k. How did he explain the $22bn spent on food importation? I repeat, is he mad?

He's saying that it costs us that much to import food and we should discontinue that by growing our food locally.

Wouldn't you encourage local production?

Oh Blood of GOD!

Blackfire:

how do you hoard perishable commodity

Haba brother did u just asked this? OK, since it is assumed u know what hoarding is...u can hoard Rice by buying more now and storing Same in Ur house or warehouse(s) thereby causing artificial scarcity. Then since the silly minister said it will be 40k in December u can sell it then.

Jesusloveyou:
stop importation and go to ebonyi and grow rice within 3months, so u can feed ur kinsmen.

Your manner of approach shows you dont love Jesus same way he loves you. love ur neighbor as yourself you tribal bigot claiming to be a Jesus deciple.
