Import kini..... I guess op meant export rice into Nigeria. I believe Vietnam can import yam or groundnut or something too from us for trade balance

Ahmed0336:

People of your nature are the problem we have in this country.

Oshobaba you spoke well. Let them come and farm here. Our youths needs to be employed our govt need taxes. We have to grow our GDP. Increase our value for Naira. This is the New Nigeria

Before You attack me.....are You sayin that there are No Nigerians who won't like to go into Rice production, must the viets come here to produce, What has the govt done to Boost Rice production, because many people will go into the business if the govt does the following things :-
-make it easier For people to be able to get the equipments needed For production
-reducing the price of fuel and making our roads good enough to Ease transportation of goods
-puting a policy down that reduces taxation on Rice farmers all over the country....

This will increase the people Going into the business and in turn increase the supply and we all know that when the supply is much the price will definitely reduce.

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam yesterday begged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to appeal to the Federal Government to allow its country import rice to Nigeria at discounted rates

Wow

Your decisions are making the common man suffer as a bag of Rice is not #20k as against #9k before you came in.

Foolish people

Instead of the clowns talking of coming to produce rice in Nigeria, they are rather saying they should be allowed to import...
How is that a solution to our problems...?

Tell me how the masses will not continue to suffer if you can't produce ordinary Rice in your country at this 21th century?

Are there Nigerians who is opposed to this closure of borders to stem snuggling especially rice?
Remember nobody has ban importation of rice, just bring it in via official route and pay the right duties ( I hope am correct).

Nigeria is now acting like boss.


Kudos to the government of the day,no pain,no gain.

Jimi24:


NO.
Rice grows in just 4 months. There are so many unemployed youths it's a bomb
The era of slackness and cluelessness ended with Jonathan.

On Point Bro

Keep quiet, government will not come to your bedroom to give you loan. People like you will always complain from Monday till Sunday. Bank of Agriculture is giving out loan, take the necessary steps and stop complaining. Don't sit on the fence

Gerrout.

Name one policy, one that you have shown support for.

Gbam well said.

What is Vietnam importing from Nigeria. Bleep Vietnam, we should stop enriching other nations, let the wealth remain here. We have no business importing any food grown here.

Keep wailing.

Rice can still be imported through the sea port. Please make use of it.

Multiplier7:
That's why I kinda like Oshomole. He talks it the way it is. No pity about it.

Is high time all our Representative's in the helm of affairs to man up and do their duties without fear or favour. That temporal route the federal government wants to create for Ghanian goods to come into the country is unacceptable and must be condemned. There's also other countries also that are suffering from total loss too not only Ghanian traders.

Please Mr President should look into that. If he wants to do good, he should extend it to Cameroon, Niger, Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, India and Thailand.

Then the equation will be balanced. But if you ask me, total closure is the best.


As for South Africa , Mr President should ban Apples and Wine too from being imported. It is for our own good too.

God bless Nigeria.

your opinion is correct but not totally. With respect to our African neighbours, Nigeria is not stopping trade with them. Nigeria is simply telling them to stop importing from other countries with the primary aim of smuggling them into Nigeria. At the end of the day, their local farmers will suffer. Every African country is free to export their locally produced goods to Nigeria. Not imported one.

Love this reverse psychology by osho

Wiseandtrue:
Either you allow the importation of rice or declare emergency in every state for rice production!!!

It's obvious that rice is the major food consumed in Nigeria!!!

It's not just about closing borders to show your consuming power

What are your plans for the people to eradicate hunger

Let us go back to Farming

Obviously, you are still sleeping on a mango tree. Don't start accusing government on a topic you know next to nothing about. Make Buhari come dey pound food for you every evening naw. How would you like that?

Please try and understand before You speak out of Point.....where in my comment did i mention anything about loans......giving out loans alone isn't the solution, go back and re-read my comment again.

Does Buhari and his 40 thieves eat local rice?

MoIbrahim:
How could more than 99% of the ship offloading goods in this country be going back empty? Meaning we produce almost nothing (even raw materials sef), yet past governments blew trillions in the name of diversification.
God dey!

No we produce Big brother Nigeria, Soapy dance and religious bigotry. Lol

Awon werey. They have turned naija to dumping site. Food sustainability is a matter of HUGE national security.

Imagine a scenario where war breaks out with a major power and our air space and sea routes are blockaded, naija is doomed without a means to feed herself!

I hate buhari, but border closure to stem dumping and stimulate local production is the best thing he's done till date.

Biggest economy from wasting $104/barrel oil price FOREX importing petroleum, rice, flour and Dubai goods, selling them locally without even collecting taxes. So no infrastructure. All the big economic gains limited to 5 cities and just 200 people with trickle down to just 15m. Result was militancy, Boko Haram and 101m poor people.
No wonder they booted out the guy. First time in history for an incumbent. First week of Buhari, all the ministers had run away. Let PDP try that governance style if they regain the opportunity (which they wont). Nigerians will burn down Aso Rock

Reacting, Oshiomhole said Nigeria would not accept such demand from Vietnam, advising the country to rather secure land and invest in rice production in Nigeria. He said Nigeria would no longer become a dumping ground for unwanted chemicals and spoilt products among others, stressing that Nigeria’s borders would remain closed until neighbouring countries learn to respect the rule of fair trade.




A Nigerian with pride !
A non submissive a$$ licking black man!

And guess what foreign countries will do against it ? Nothing !

OK. Have heard you. Though some side of me wants South Africa to feel the pain small. I know they produce their products and not imported. But must Nigeria import from them?

I understand you totally anyway.

If you are wise enough you should be able to see the opportunity to see the opportunity Buhari is creating... The local farmers are now smiling to the bank... You can either join or keep wailing

actually past governments diversified for real......except that the diversification was into their bank accounts

Rice can not be imported through Seaport... It is on the banned list

You lack simple understanding .......all i'm saying is that the government should create means that Boosts local Rice production apart from giving loans.....because loans alone are useless when other factors are there that Hinders the business.....
