The stone is actually the problem with the Nigerian rice if it’s stone free then it’s okay

In case you live in a cave, local rice is now bagged and stone free

Please keep quiet. If you have not eaten the local rice don't come here saying what you do not know. There are stones in it. I have eaten it, sold it and would prefer foreign rice over it. Everything is not 30k bmc money

Nonsense people.

They want Nigeria to have a solid economy and for their children to have good jobs.

But yet, they want to patronize local productions.

Fools. angry

Let them open border for other importation.
My friend that trades on shoes and bags from Cotonu is suffering since two months ago. There's no way to bring back her already bought goods. And her money is hanging for just no cause.

Oga our stable foods were never rice
Rice was introduced by the British into our menu
We had cassava as our stable food
Rice started coming into our food in the early 50s

I don't even know if the foreign rice had been infiltrated with local rice as well

Buhari adviser need to have a rethink. we are tired of this poison called local rice
Re: Border Closure: Nigerians Shun Local Rice, Sellers Lament by Osobi32(m): 7:51am On Oct 16, 2019
If the local producers can give us quality and stone free rice then we are down with it..... I can't sweat to make money and still suffer to enjoy my money. Imagine eating with consciousness because u don't want bite stone!

And these people that are rejecting local rice are the ones that will be insulting government everyday for not establishing Industries for them as if, if government does that they will patronize it. Most of packaged rice here is free of stones I don't know where the complaint is from. All my life I've been eating local rice but I think I'm okay with that

Until you break your teeth trying to be patriotic.
Someone who has been eating foreign rice for over 3 decades should switch to local rice. It ain't that easy.
It's about choice here

Uncalled for. Go to local markets and see for yourself. But the local rice isn't cheap as expected.

BTW, blogging is our passion, not necessarily a business. Peace!

Abegi, let’s get one thing clear that many comments on this matter seemingly fail to fully grasp...
THE ONLY THING THAT’S HAPPENED IS THAT SOME LAND BORDERS HAVE BEEN CLOSED. THERE ARE NO NEW IMPORT BANS!

What this means is that you can still import tomatoes, rice and everything you want to...
But instead of small traders importing these, it will now be the MONOPOLY of rent-seekers who can afford to ship these items!

The border must remain closed, if you want to eat foreign rice please relocate to Ghana. Ọ gịnị dị. Nigerians doesn't have an iota of patriotism in their blood. Everybody is bent on killing this economy yet Everybody is blaming the President as the sole cause of the problem. Buhari may not be doing well but I support him 100% on this
