Investigative journalist ‘FISAYO SOYOMBO laments after buying Made In Nigeria rice from the market.

According to him, the rice felt like sandy soil the moment he turned it into water before parboiling it.

Sharing photos of the locally made rice he bought from the market, he wrote;

Just because we closed our borders for a few weeks, see the kind of nonsense rice we've flooded our markets with.

This one even felt like sandy soil the moment I turned it into water. Is this honestly the best we can do as a people? Who cursed us with mediocrity so wickedly?

Baba wash it very well and parboil it's very sweet

Nigerian rice is still the best apart from the little stones
You don't need to open your pot when cooking because it does not remove those starchy water seen when cooking imported rice.

It has the full nutrient

i experienced the same few days ago....its just so terrible

He is now riding on his Nigerian Prisons story to be a nuisance. There are different grades of rice all over the market, at different rates too. Some are properly processed, while some aren't (partly because they don't have access to state of art facilities the big tier firms such as Olam, Coscharis rice Mills, etc have). A good number can't access loans or aids from banks/government to boost their businesses and improve their final product.
Be patient with our local farmers and over time things would get better.

But no, some will bash the efforts some are making to ensure food security for Nigeria.

Why can't he just buy Mama Gold?

Must you eat rice?

Foolishness at its peak, you went to the market.. you saw Lake rice, Coscharis Rice, Dangote rice, Umza rice, Mama Pride, Olams rice, and Labana rice, you covered your eyes and went straight to rice being sold inside wheel barrow by an Abokiii trader, now you are disturbing us online

Even if Buhari opens the border to satisfy this Investigative Dunce's smuggled rice addiction, me and my family would continue eating local rice because it is very sweet and i cant be using my own money to make ungratefull african countries richer


..

hmmm

There are different rice don't go for the cheap ones you won't complain

love God

Our rice dealers are heartless dey at times pour sands inside the rice bag to get the desired weight

Is that grade of rice the best he could afford?

Locally produced rice stone is always eaten with caution. You chew with far less confidence. No be say the pRICE dey pocket friendly ooo

Depends on the one he bought tho.... I have seen very neat Nigeria rice.

Oya tell us if las las you no still eat am

Noted

Ova their are better Nigeria rice in the market.
I eat local rice and I love it.
It have different grades or washes

Oh God rice

Just look at that senseless hypocrite named @tenderbiggie with tender brain, he doesn't even live in Nigeria but want Nigerians to eat that shitty local rice without option of choosing between local and foreign. That shows how hypocritical nigerian's can be. I love fisayo's response to him btw. Anyone who doesn't eat rice nor resides in Nigeria that support's ban on foreign rice so that the poor can continue to eat a very bad but expensive staple food will never see good in their lives.

So we should open border to foreign rice?

No way! Investors will soon make the rice 100% stone-free.
