nextprince was right , You people always defend GEJ, telling us how years have passed but you comfortably refer to early 80'ies to reference
how buhari drove Nigeria to recession


Your excuse about rice being sold out is nonsense , 2 months ago , someone in PDP / Senate tried to clear 23 containers that's been in port for over a year

some of your demigods have full ships of rice and they are the ones trying to drive price of rice up


southsouthman:


You are one of the reasons why Nigeria is where it is. That you heard or read about this nonsense and what you come here to say is that "some idiots will soon come to defend their god. Jonathan left government two year ago. So even if GEJ imported substandard rice, which is a very big lie, the rice would have been sold out long before today why coming up now to say this. More so it has never been reported anywhere from 2015 that some Nigerians were sick because they consumed substandard rice. If you truly love Nigeria you will not be saying this.

Obviously the governors are scared and grasping at straws knowing full well the youths are angry and an up rising is imminent, a little spark is all that's needed to change this government.
Guess u governors have run out of excuses am not surprised when giving wheel barrows to youths and opening email accounts are achievements in this government.

When Nigeria's governors/politicians are high on weed and brandies with seriously hard drugs, they will start blaming Jonathan as if Jonathan is still the president.

In that case, APC/Buhari's government are not producing any rice. Its Jonathan imported rice we have been buying all along

Truths are coming out on how APC government is using items and weapons Jonathan bought as their achievements.

If APC governments have been producing cost of living won't this rockets/expensive.


Any investors that would have come to Nigeria for investment come across this speeches from APC governors/politicians, and do a U Turn, the same governors and Buhari and Liar Muhammad will blame Jonathan for their actions and blames.

The same Jonathan rice APC minister of agriculture planning to exporting.

APC and Buhari's achievements are like sending Nigerians to the sea/oceans in search of office pin.

lol. So people not reaching 80 also started when Jonathan became president. It's only failures that complain, successful people take advantage of challenges to become champion. As was the case with the USA when Obama took over from George Bush Jr. Obama went to work immediately he took over from Bush, don't forget US economy was also on a reverse then because of the wars

Appears this Jonathan is an enigma - to keep hearing his name two years after handing over! Stuff of legend!

Abdulsalami was hardly in the news in 2001. Ditto Hoover in 1935 and Buchanan in 1863.

Obasanjo didn't cry this long after Abdulsalami handed over. FDR hardly kept hounding Hoover about the great depression inherited from him. Lincoln rarely decried the precarious situation from Buchanan.

But Jonathan? His name still rings true two years after as if he were still president. A foreigner might even be forgiven for coming into the country, going through the dailies and thinking the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2017 is a certain Goodluck Jonathan.

Governors, get off the overdose on 'Jonamycin' and get to work.

The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) thursday expressed concern over the substandard rice imported into the country during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, lamenting that the rice is sometimes harmful to the human system.

They said huge consignment of rice still finding its way into the market was imported into Nigeria since 2014 when the Jonathan administration issued a very liberal import licence regime to its election financiers who were able to bring a substantial quantity of rice into the country using a waiver from the presidency at the time.


The 36 governors spoke in a statement issued by the Head, Media and Public Affairs of the NGF Abulrazaque Bello- Barkindo, which called on the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to expeditiously take measures to arrest the situation.

The governors claimed that while some bulk of the consignment was stale, others were either rejected in other countries or had overstayed in various warehouses before they found their way into Nigeria through the activities of some unscrupulous elements.

While summoning the customs to shed light on the matter, the governors expressed concern that Nigerians were either falling sick or losing their lives to the consumption of these substandard produce even though some states have commenced elaborate efforts to produce rice in commercial quantity with a view to halting Nigeria’s over-reliance on staples that can be produced locally.

The Governors, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) frowned at the situation where Nigerians snubbed locally-produced commodity in preference for foreign ones which were most of the time, stale, contaminated or even fake.

Meanwhile, in a brief to the governors’ forum, the NCS Comptroller-General through the Deputy Comptroller-General, Dangaladima Aminu, stated that although there is an upsurge in the smuggling of rice through the nation’s land borders, there has been no alteration to the prohibition on the importation of rice through Nigeria’s land borders and that any quantity of rice which finds its way into Nigeria through land routes was smuggled.

He noted that rice was usually smuggled into the country through unauthorised border routes which span more than 4,000km and that the smugglers were aided by border communities who alternated between motorcycles, canoes and rafts to smuggle contraband rice into the country.

Aminu added: “Your excellencies, it may interest you to note that a motorcycle can make up to 30 trips with six 50kg bags of rice per night depending on the distance and when the border communities are not smuggling the produce themselves, they are aiding or providing cover for smugglers.”

He, however, added that rice merchants had recorded huge losses as a result of seizures by the customs. He disclosed that in 2014 customs seized 12,000 metric tons of the commodity, 4,503 tonnes in 2015 and 14,000metric tons in 2016.

Aminu informed the governors that the customs “takes the issue of smuggling of rice seriously, having identified the danger posed by it to the economic well-being and health hazards it constitutes to the Nigerian people.”

2 years now and they are still blaming GEJ?? na Thunder from SOUTH KOREA that will scatter APC. It's also GEJ that caused a cup of GARRI (peak milk cup) to b sold from 10 to 80 naira now. we can't even drink garri again.

They have literally blamed him for all the failures experienced in their government. Instead of working hard to get result.

GEJ is a blessed man 2years after leaving office they still can't let him be.
