I just hope say our local rice dey scatter like d once them dey import

Go and eat abakaliki rice. U will flush caprice n mamagold down d toilet

Good job by NCS.

I love this part.

To demonstrate his seriousness, Ali, three weeks ago, signed an agreement with the Beninoise government to the effect that any ship from Benin ports must be escorted by the Benin Customs and handed over to Nigerian Customs. He threatened to stop trade relations with Benin Republic if the government continues to allow contraband goods into Nigerian markets.

No more imported rice, we have ours now. These "importers" should channel their energies towards bringing our rice from the hinterland to the city.

Crazy

honestly the government is trying to encourage the farmers and to help with our local goods which is nothing but the best.....if it continues like this pple would suffer it but its for a while.....stop depending on other nation for food....i was told we still import Egg....is that true

adeoba2008:
We need import restriction so that we can diversify. Its a good move.

its nt good anytin, how can you ban something dat u cant produce to meet local demand n also export?

afo86:
Our own local rice should have been surplus b4 ban importation...

Where is the local rice? If I see I go buy.

truth is now is the right time. ours wll never be surplus if fg don't ban the foreign one first. u sef no naija na.

Bro , you need to study how China got to where they are today? I believe the ban on rice is already yielding the desired result? If rice continues to come in , we will not thing of developing ours. When rice is banned that is when the likes of Dangote can start thinking in the direction of having a rice farm. Search for the his of Mao Zedong and see how this man used Buhari like policy to turn China around. I know the economy is biting hard but if the Government continue to diversity, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Here is the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong

I am very sure that this man refused to roja those custom people thats y they seized it

Contraband has gotten anoda meaning of which if u import goods and refused to do omoluabi to these oga at the top. Ur goods will be named contraband.

The Name checkers where are u guys?

blackpanda:


Stop talking rubbish. How can nigeria be spending its non existent forex to import a product that we are already mass producing. Why cant u just grow up

@boded why re deceiving yourself ?.. which mass production re you talking of ?.. Guy we re nt fools .. always trying to defend buhari.

Rubbish.. Nigerians re suffering, Can't they ban other Tins.. If i can see were to purchase Local rice i'd buy 2bags, all we see is picture..

I am imagining the faces of the custom officials on siting the rice dead body.

I didn't cone here to mention anyone.

drimpeccable:
Nigerians can be quite creative especially when they're hard-pressed. Only that some of our leaders have chosen not to be creative having stuck their hands in filthy lucre.

However, this is not to endorse what the 'corpse' smuggler engaged in.

Do you now believe we are our own problem? Ehn ehn! Yes we are. Dollar rises against naira. Your business isnt going well like before. What would a right thinking man do? He will find a way to stop being affected by this dollar, he will find a way to be over dependent on it. But mba! My people sha no wan do anything or change. Na that same one way we wan go. Dollar o... Dollar o. Issoraite.



Come to think of it. This economic recession mighy be a blessing in disguise if we reason well sha.

Customs sef dey form activity

As if we no know where all those siezed bags of rice dey go

This is a good move. That Dimka fellow has closed his eyes long enough. Seme border is one of the most porous borders ever. Local production failed to increase capacity and supply when smuggled goods still flooded the market.
It's unfortunate businessmen would suffer but then again, they knew they were illegally bringing this stuff in.
My question though is for all those Indian companies like Stallion and Midas Group etc that weren't smuggling it. Are they still allowed to import?

I disagree with you on this, i think the ban is taken effect at the right time and this will give us insight on patronizing our local rice.We learn there's is rice in Anambra, Kebbi, Kaduna etc, They should go and buy from there and started selling in the markets.. I wish you know how many smugglers have become billionaires at the expense of the masses, They import rice at cheaper rates and started selling in high prices. I based in cotonou and i know lots of wherehouse where they store those rice and in even frozen stocks.

Sunnycliff:
Man must survive!

Hope custom officers no go come use this scenario begin check ambulances and be opening the casket of dead bodies anyhow because some dead body fit vex use this economic anger slap one of them o!

Am laughing. We need this type of humour!

Hw many quantity of rice do our federal govt rice company produced b4 u stop importation of rice?Buhari resign for good. God has taken crown of leadership away from u go to ur village n rear cows.

You are quite right and I know that the ECONOMY of any country is as good as the efficiency of It's Custom services. Period!

All the rice and frozen stocks will EVENTUALLY enter Nigeria. Mark my words. Nigeria has the most corrupt Custom service in the whole world! Go to Custom bridge in Agbara, along Lagos-Badagry express way and see what is going on there.

Bro i reside in Cotonou and always drive pass that bridge but the new Custom boss is such a discipline man, No custom will ready to loose his/her job cos of rice and frozen stock smugglers.. Mind you there will always be mole among the customs who will be reporting everything to the boss up there so as to gain promotion.

Nigerians and creativity.
