Rice Can Be Substituted With Potato - Audu Ogbeh by kelechiodo(m): 4:36pm On Sep 15, 2016 |
Chief Audu Ogbeh who is the minister of agriculture and rural development has said the demand for foreign goods at the expense of local products may push the Dollar to N1000. He also said that the reason the price of rice is now expensive is because of its huge demand from Nigerians, Daily Post reports that the minister also said that said Nigerian businessmen demanded 2.5 billion dollars a week for importation of goods and services into the country. He noted that the consumption of rice was rising and that many people did not know this could be substituted for potato. “The volume of importation of virtually everything into this country is too much. “The demand for dollars in this country as at today is 2.5 billion a week; this is the quantum of dollars Nigerians are asking for to import things. “Since 1986, we began this habit of importing everything and doing virtually nothing at home to sustain ourselves; now, we do not have the dollars and people are very hungry. “This day was coming anyway, no matter who was in power; we have the most ridiculous method of devaluing our currency; every week, we auction the dollar and naira goes up. https://www.naij.com/968162-nigerians-made-rice-expensive-consuming-much-minister-agriculture.html |

Potato is actually healthier than Rice (cardio health) But the Main problem is, If Nigeria subtitute it for Rice D demand will be so high that we will need to import Nd believe me Mr. Lai D price of potato would surpass the price of Rice. So if dre re no policies to produce more Potato than we re currently doing Then shut ur mouth. And let us think our way thru this suffering u pple have subjected us to, Since d president has decided to surround himself with archaic set of human beings. 3 Likes |

Audu Ogbeh tell that to Hausa-Fulani and yorubba who don't have balanced diet culturally. SE and SS have and eat balanced diet, and you can tell by their appearance and body. 80% of foods consumed by all Nigerians are SE and SS foods. Igbos, Ibibios, Efiks, Ijaws, urhobo don't eat amala, oil soups, tuwo, shikanfi but yorubbas, Hausa-fulani eat Igbo, Ibibio, Efik dishes EVERYDAY if not they will be malnourished...another benefit and reason they want One Nigeria! |
