Shoprite and the other store would not be in trouble if they sourced goods locally. It's more beneficial to the Agricultural sector and will even create indirect employment. It's the over importation of goods,

I am surprised people commented without condemning the OP for putting a fake source. I followed this news and nowhere in the credible media outlets was it stated that "President Buhari ordered closure" except in these wannabe online sites.

Just because you want to generate comments doesn't equate to falsifying stories. The OP and cohorts who inserted the PMB part don't realise how stupid it is for PMB to order a closure then NBMA issues a warning. In an attempt to just add PMB in all issues, they goofed on this.

I will urge people to be careful before deliberating on issues. You don't want to be a rumour monger.

Source : Vanguard, and you put realmp34 as link? Are you ok Op?

And that is not even Vanguard Newspaper. Vanguard's website is not vanguardnigeria but vanguardngr. The site just wants to ride on the popularity of the established outlet.

Unfortunately a good 90% (i'll bet) of Nigerians are blissfully ignorant and to compound matters.. direly illiterate. They would rather believe what their pastors and imams tell them or better yet, defer to Telemundo or Nollywood for cogent advise on life-changing matters than use their god-given sense to think things through.

The corn you eat today was not the type present in West African regions until the colonialists combined them with pest resistant and more durubale ones from their own homelands, today Nigeria is a big name in Yams.. where did you think the source came from, Tomatoes, greens etc we just wake up and eat something we know not the history of and when science tries to do the same thing it did more than 50 years ago with resounding success.. some herbalists and food nutritionists (pure scammy pseudo-science).

The reason we are where we are today is self-evident.. we have allowed stark illiterates and crudely-bred buffoons to lead us. results are too clear to disagree with.

Some dubious folks who want to drive traffic to their useless blogs just think they can post any nonsense title to any story to distort facts and deceive people. Of course they know most Nigerians dont read.
