Great way to think, u shouldn't argue with some people because they are too emotional and sentimental to think.

While Americans voted to have their goods produced in America even with clear evidence that it will cost more in the market some silly Nigerians are discrediting local production because it is same price with imported.




We can all see why America is far better than Nigeria, to make the matter worse most of the people discreting it are unemployed youth that may have chance to be gainfully employed if this things are encouraged.



Is it not better to buy cement, rice, computer, phones, clothe, building materials, furniture's, automobile etc at exorbitant price and we are all gainfully employed in the company that makes those goods than to be poor and jobless while we buy cheap foreign products.





Nigerian youth have to think and start reasoning like their counpart in the other side of the world otherwie we will remain backward for long.

You know what? You're so on point.

Young man, we are talking about sincere diversification here. At least we are seeing how nigerians are producing what they will consume and not the other way round. The price will definitely be slashed in the long run, this I'm very sure of.

ItsawrapOutfit:
First from Ibadan

This must the outcome of a credible agricultural research unlike some citadel of education that only specialise in producing[i] sachet (pure) [/i]water in the name of running a business venture

Policies should be put in place to enforce this. Expecting people to use emotion / sentiment to make such decisions won't work!

thesicilian:
Laudable. But that price is no different from what we have in the market already, because by extrapolation, 50kg will still cost about 18-20k

seunfly:


Who will make such policy when majority of the citizenry are educated illiterate, any body that thinks outside the box from sharing of money, awarding of contracts that will never be executed allowing masivse looking will be terned enemy.

Efikoroy:




Good talk. U see many of the youth, do not understand how these things work. They think it is all about price. And comparing local products and foreign ones.

ephi123:


That is NO excuse. It is the responsibility of the government to make the right policies, that is why they were elected.

that is how ineffectual buffoon disciples think,
And they don't know they are the dullard, they call intelligent buhari the dullard for showing them the right way to go.
They still prefer the crook way.

Xtfield:
We will buy it even if it is costlier than the imported one. That is the way to encourage local production, diversify our economy and end recession. Great Uites!

stobery:
Nonsense, what will make a 50kg bag of local rice to cost 19k?

Are they also buying dollar from the BDC?

fiizznation:
This is nice. Nobody operates a mono economy in this "capitalist" world anymore. If only the evil empire called pdp didn't waste 16yrs doing nothing, Nigeria would have definitely made tremendous progress in agriculture, housing, education, health etc. But what did we get during pdp's era of corruption and impunity, NOTHING.

PDP pushed the country into recession, they gave us gigantic poverty and terrorism, and the thieves still have the nerves to point their leprosy inflicted fingers at APC. Anyway Nigerians will surely be grateful for making the right decision, the decision of voting for positive change, the decision of putting nigeria on the right track, the decision of sending those pdp penrobbers back to where they rightly belong

Anextin:
What is laudable about this? That 50kg of rice in retrospect is 20k and I should be happy about it?? Really?? Hmm. People pls it's local rice, Nigerian made. That 25kg shouldn't be any thing more than 4k. It's our product and we expect it to be less nah

seunfly:


You are right but it is all about politics. Who does not want to be reelected?
In as much as we have this poor ways of reasoning, our leaders will keep failing us because we termed the good Poeple with good policies as enemies because of the hardship that comes with it.

admax:
All this rice this rice that being produced by everybody for 9k etc is now getting ridiculous!

Can we produce rice in commercial quantity? That's the main question and not producing rice for few hundred people, then shouting about it all over social media.

Nigerians eat tonnes of millions of rice per day!

kolaaderin:


Good way to think. Nigerians without brain will query why the price would have to be hi, not observing the huge benefit we are gaining from local production.

- less stress on naira to dollar exchange rate
- employment opportunities to the masses.
- later in the future a good source of foreign earnings to the country.
- and a nation that can never go hungry no matter the world crisis.
