Goverment Please Open Our Borders by Empredboy(op): 4:59pm On Jun 14, 2016
The way this ban on importation of rice is going on in this country i hope it won't end
up like
frozen chicken paparazzi. Since obasanjo banned importation of frozen chicken we are
yet to see made in nigeria frozen chicken. Naija which way.
I think goverment should open up the borders to allow various kind of food to come in cos nigeria do not have enough food to take Care of her ever growing population.
People may argue that importing food will affect our currency and also kill the local market.
My response to such statement is that we don't have local market in the First place cos the rice in kebbi state, lagos state have not even taken off also the ofada and abakiliki have never been in recognition in the market. Infact a little survey done on these local rice shows that our youth especially the city youth don't know much about ofada and abakiliki but are quick to recognise aroso or argric.
