Why rebrand the local rice as foreign one when it's something we're suppose to be proud of? Iyam not understanding. Regardless of how good the idea of this government is, it's not helpful to the common man at all. Nigeria is what it is, if the borders are eventually opened, foreign rice will still find its way ahead of the local one. I won't applaud the decision until I see the benefits.

ORIENTATION101:
When government put policy in place to ensure easy way of life .some greedy nigerians will still find a way to circumvent the policy and inflict pain on fellow countrymen and blame the government.

Why rebag local rice as foreign and sell at exorbitant price. The good thing about border closure is foreign rice re fading away gradually.

And the farmers re getting attention now. Our money flow should be from govt -banks- firms- households -farmers- .
Will the money circulation get to you n even if it gets to you, d rising costs of other foodstuffs due to border closure would extinguish it. The govt has been generating revenue from every source since independence yet dey still claim not to have money. Lets be guided

When you produce your rice, I will wait to see which country will allow you to export to their country.

If past leaders have taken this bold and giant step to close the border, Nigeria would have been number one in rice production in Africa.

Thanks to president buhari

It’s better you check the cost of local rice in the market and you know Buhari is not helping the situation at all.

Land borders were closed, not sea borders. Wanna import rice? Import through Tincan and pay the heavy customs duties.

Our local consumption alone is in the top 5 in the world. That's why they import into Benin and move it here. This is not even taking into cognisance the ones from Niger Republic.

So, stop talking like an illiterate.

Go and farm so that you can add to reduction of the cost of rice.

The era of smuggled rice and chicken is over.

There are two types of Nigerian rice. Stone-free and the one from local rice meals. If you buy stone free and still complain of stones, then you need to get your brain checked. It might be a psychological issue.

I think for the first time in the history of this Buhari's administration, everyone who has even just a little sense is in support of Buhari. Though Biafran Flattinos have sworn by the graves of Emeka Ojukwu and Chinua Achebe that they will never see anything good in Buhari, these same Flattinos are in support of this policy of border closure. What this implies is that Biafran Flattinos may not really hate Buhari, may it is his policies that they hate. But then, criticism is not the same as revolting, cursing and abusing our dear Buhari. Let's criticise government responsibly and work together to move Nigeria forward.

But, wait oooo, did I just type that shit up there?
Too much hatred and bitterness in one piece.
Can you comment reasonably without getting Biafra involved in your stupidity; this is exactly why we can't move forward in a divided nation mared by nepotism,tribalism and religious intolerance.
When Buhari does something commended we commend him; that doesn't mean you should force your political ideology on everyone or that everyone should support your choice. One thing makes man superior to the angels and that's the ability to make choices, so be reasonable and learn to tolerate each others ideology.

In as much as I'm not in full support of Pres. Buhari's policies, I must commend him for this. The border closure didn't just end the reign of foreign rice, but reduced insecurity. You will testify with me that no herdmen violence has occurred since the borders were closed.

God bless President Buhari for boosting local farmers' business

Business is normally driven by the primary principles of competitive advantages. A digression means inefficient allocation of resources. The results may not be fully appreciated from the start. Therefore,Time is an essential element for a better analysis of the present scenario.

Hmmm..... foreign minded people paying top price for local rice and don't even know..... eating and swearing it is wayyyy better than the local one. Rice needs to be banned period.to encourage local production..... increase production would result in price drop... over production would lead to exportation.... a win win for foreign reserves.

Seeing some brands mentioned here and on other threads, some of us have always been eating local rice and we didn't even know- because it was that good.

What then are people complaining of?

So you even noticed, on another thread and this was before the closure, I was telling someone most Nigerians were eating local rice and he told me it was a lie, I just left him.
You can also see the reporter saying that some people were rebagging local rice into foreign bags, meaning that most people buying the 'fake' foreign rice can't tell the difference between them meaning the quality of some of the local rice is as good as the foreign yet some Nigerians would still prefer foreign.

while closure of land border is a good development,government cannot sustain it. It is fire brigade approach. government should build walls in our land borders. prisoners can be used as labourers.

This is a blatant lie, I bought a bag of local rice and I've been eating it for a month now, I've never seen a single stone, very tasteful and delicious except that they are not as big as the foreign ones but I love it

The issue of rebagging has always been there though. Pretty fraudulent.

I stopped eating imported rice many years ago the moment Olam came to Nigeria. Now over here we have Miva Rice, Mama Pride, Ashi Rice, Mama Gold, etc and the truth is they all taste better than the imported rice.

Most of this local rice actually tastes like sorrow cry but I guess our local farmers would perfect their production with time.
