Are you one of the the smugglers?

Are you one of the investors?

Hangulsaram:

Please sir don’t misunderstand me, my question is centered on the “higher price”
Both the foreign and local rice are costly considering the minimum wage, Yes but my concern is making it available and well processed.

Ok I must have misunderstood u...
actually that's where our problems are right now

we don't produce anything yet u shut down the border, car production is 0
for innoson, how many average Nigerian can afford his car?
while for d rice, it is nothing to write about,... Na poverty just day make people day shout say local rice sweet

grandstar:


We lack comparative advantage in rice production.

it's like telling a very fat man to engage in Sprint competition. He can partake but he'll never win.

But use him in shot put and you have a winner.

You're better off importing the things you lack comparative advantage in.

The guy was complaining of high import duty. So actually they import but government charges high import duty to discourage import and encourage local production.

Talking about comparative advantage but we have local producers, how will they be protected. So they should go out of business. All over the world, wise government protect local industries because there success means employment availability and better taxes. So government is very right.


The government has been right in putting high import duty on these imported goods,

These are part of ways that we get to diversify our economy. You build comparative advantage. It doesn't come overnight or just drop from the skies, you work for it, toil for it, sweat for it, to get there so government is right.

pek:
It is not rocket science. Nigeria is a big market cause of her population.

Since Abacha death, the world have tried to pretend that Nigeria is not the regional superpower that we are.

Obama visited many far less powerful African countries and even Ghana that is virtually next door and failed to visit Nigeria.

G7 or G20 and Chinese lead global initiatives are more likely to invite Egypt or SA than Nigeria.

AU shared leadership roles in 2017 and gave Nigeria no significant appointment.

Nigeria has been like a sleeping giant all these years after Abacha (who played our role as regional power in those days when he was intervening in Sierria Leone and Liberia wars ) was poisoned.

The sleeping giant stirs in his sleep and the whole world is taking notice!

Make no mistake about it, our regional superpower status is the real reason the evil white devil globalist are trying to pretend we are insignificant whilst secretly planning to break us up into smaller weaker nations by using groups like Boko Haram and IPOB.

I love what is happening right now!

Nigeria, a witch craft country. Witches don't care about the effect of their witch craft on themselves. What gives them joy is what they do to others.
Nigeria don't care that effect the border closure has on them but the effect it has on benin, Ghana, India etc.
You see how stupid we are?

NOETHNICITY:
Pls. give one example of market larger than Nigeria that Thailand cater for.
Just one example backed with fact

China for one.

This is the list of countries they export to and in what percentage according to them. I suggest take a look at Nigeria’s percentage in both quantity and value and compare that to Congo, Kenya, China or even Philippines.

Not everyone is so gullible to believe the rubbish this presidency informs the media to report to deceive the masses.

googi:
Sir, your thinking does not meet any economic model even in Nigeria where supply and demand fail.

Any Country would feel the loss of about 200 million people even if only half of them eat rice.

What is the population of France, England, Germany or the Switzerland compared to Nigerians demand for rice.

Do you remember people's drink (champagne) demand in Nigeria?

This makes no sense. I did not mention European countries but African and Asian since rice is a steady food source in both Continent. According to Thai government, Nigeria contributes about 17.7% in quantity to their rice exportation for the past 3 years. This year, 2019, they exported 5,338 rice in total to Nigeria compared to Kenya which they exported 105,268 rice or China which they exported 276,238 or South Africa which they exported 456,589, etc. Nigeria is not one of their biggest market. We may be biggest market to one of their biggest market (Benin) but, the closure is still too short to have a double effect. As the article is trying to say, our closure is impacting their market directly. We are insignificant in their market to have that effect.

You know, if you cultivated rice, you could also be making that 18k multiplied by a factor you are capable of generating.

What factor?

How utterly disgraceful. Nigerians have criminality encoded in their DNA

So the number of people that want bubu out is going international.

No more easy money.

Go to Kebbi, Kano and the recent one Coshcaris rice in Anambra. FG has been giving loans at very reasonable % to various farmers in Nigeria.

Why can’t this be done before the border was closed..Why must it be medicine after death..if there was enough supply or at least 50% supply before closure the famine will not be this much..

sammyj:

lake rice was never the project of the FG and this was a sole project of 2 states Lagos and Kebbi..Coscharis rice has not even started functioning effectively

I hope this has cleared your doubt. You can't deny the federal government support from lake rice

GreenArrow1:


Lol. Cheap shots. Don't just be dumber than your smartphone. Use it to get information which obviously you desperately lack. Now run along son.

mjaylala:
#borderclosure it's the best policy Buhari regime has made so far..... Nigeria can't be a dumping ground for all. Na south Africa I dy wait for to start complain that one go sweet me die

I swear down

okeyumez:
Big countries adopted this measure before they became strong Nations
Let us make sacrifices now and build our nation and stop lamenting
Buhari is right this time
Let the idiotic, hypocritical Igbos keep lamenting
Nigeria must get better

How body. I hope that we are now sufficient in rice production and that Rice is now Cheap. Infact, i heard that Thailand has collapsed because Nigerians no longer buy foreign rice
