DubaiLandLord: Candidly speaking, everyone does not earn minimum wage, plus a 50kg bag of rice lasts more than one month. We are not self sufficient yet months after the boarders have been close Self suffiency is not necessarily a months long process...it is a years long process. Rice in Nigeria is one of the most expensive in the world. We can't be self sufficient in everything. Well, having lost our textile industry partly to smuggling, I think we should try to be self sufficient in rice production plus we can't be benefitting thailand at our expense. The Government should let people import rice but still support local rice farmers. The Government have to balance everything. No problem with that, but no smuggling either. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran etc still import rice. There is nothing wrong in importing with the way things dey go in Nigeria. Yes, and lose forex as a result Plus the Saudis so don't like their dependence on imported food really...though they cannot do much about it since most of that country is desert. Some years ago, they were looking to buy land in Madagascar to plant food for their nation(plan was scrapped because some malagasy felt it was in essence allowing the Saudis to annex their land) If Rice farmers in Nigeria can't still compete after all this years, whose fault is that? 1.The same smugglers 2.We also need to allow easy access to things like loans and forex to farmers 3.We need better transportation too. Either way, smuggling is bad for Nigeria. |

Nothing is working in the country and it will be worse by the time your offsprings grow in this country. It's not a curse except we hold our leaders accountable. But you're here taking jibe at south west. See end by the time u finally get old and die your children's curse won't make u rest in peace cos the country would have been in total mess by then. Bro what's happening in this country ain't funny anymore. Except you're still under your parent's roof. Which is more likely stinechykee: |

Armed smugglers? That's something unheard of. It's not as if they robbed those things they're trying to take across border. There was no gun duel, the useless customs simply murdered 7 innocent people for violating contraband law. |

[quote author=palsenator post=106803769][/quote] sometimes I wonder if some of you had ever travel to the north or you just sit down in your bush and concocted rubbish. Rice is cheaper in the north because most of the rice is farmed in the north and northerners are not desperate to make money like our southerners. a southern will want to gain 100% profit while a northerner will not mind if he get only 5%. Do you know that palm oil is cheaper in the south? Should we say the southern border is porous that is why palm oil is cheaper in the south? When ever a national discussion comes up, you guys will start thinking toward buhari, as daft as you are I believe you should be able to know that buhari have only few months to go and if you spoil your institution because you hate buhari tomorrow you will regret it. You killed Dr Akunyili because of buhari You destroyed the south east economy because of buhari. You killed your people because of buhari You imprisoned your people every Monday because of buhari You burn down federal institutions because of buhari You scared all investors coming to the south east because of buhari Tomorrow after buhari left office he or his family members will never go Hungary but can I say the same thing to you and your family members? |

anorexicmuster:and what of the one herdsmen are destroying and killing. They are just making us suffer for nothing my brother. We are not ready to have locally made rice. U asked farmers to go farming, yet herdsmen are killing them and nothing is done. U even gave herdsmen security. Let them be importing rice, hunger is too much in land now. Local rice is even close to foreign rice in term of price. |
Re: Seven Feared Dead As Smugglers Engage Customs In Gun Duel In Ogun by Zorn: 8:03am On Oct 17, 2021 |
anorexicmuster:we have what it takes for us to be exporting rice even at cheaper rate but our government is not ready to do anything about it . we have the land and population so why can't our government utilise those two for our benefit . If our local market sales rice at cheaper rate no body will like to import same quality of goods at higher rate into a local market with lower rate and same quality |

OgunLaakaye:What have they been able to achieve? Despite all the monopoly this government allowed them to enjoy, the price of rice is still expensive. Open border and flood the country with foreign rice to crash down the rising of food. |

anorexicmuster: You called it smuggling because the government made it so. Ordinarily it should be importation. How about that? If the government wants to turn smuggling into importation, they know what to do dear brother.. And if they want the menace of smuggling to continue, then they should keep up. I know you are up for local productions so asto create job opportunities.. Yes that's very correct but there are ways to that, it just won't happen in a day and again, the government policies are not helping... Look at the farmers now, how many of them do you think still go to the farm? Yes the scourge of Herdsmen killings still persist with the government looking the other ways.. |

Re: Seven Feared Dead As Smugglers Engage Customs In Gun Duel In Ogun by dan2976: 9:10am On Oct 17, 2021 |
anorexicmuster: First of all, we don't even have a rice industry.. Myself among others discovered that the so called nigerian rice was a mixture of both local and foreign through the milling companies in the north. That has triggered a lot of buyers looking elsewhere besides the fact that foreign rice is still massively way cheaper than you so called nigerian rice. Regarding Forex... Giving massive loans to rice farmers was a flawed policy. If you are looking for Forex, then what should have been done is to fund all export business transactions. Most are capital intensive. That guarantees immediate Forex with the FG taking its cut through tax.. If a farmer cultivates and sells rice in Nigeria, he can only be paid in naira. Lastly, no nation in the world has closed its borders and was not worse for it.. All the world's industrialized nations have their borders opened for trade.. They are not stupid. |
