Please why is rice still this expensive in this country? I thought we have started producing rice here in Nigeria

it could be Na audio rice

MayenKudi:
Bread could be a replacement, after all it's the most popular food on earth

But man shall not live by bread alone, so how we go do?

I don't even understand why this rice thing is a big issue... Even as kids, rice was largely eaten on a weekly basis.

Adjusting to our indigenous and even "healthier" hand-to-mouth carb alternative shouldn't be a big deal. Ewa Agoin with fresh Agege bread isn't bad for a cold Christmas morning.

DameB:
Spaghetti or beans or swallow

mad o, this babe you sabi

Sunnycliff:
There's none o...Rice here in owerri is 25k and Xmas never reach....smh

Do you know the food called couscous?

Burgerlomo:

Naijaguy12345:
Snake soup !

Spaghetti

plantain and goat meat pepper soup

So rice will become a status symbol once again!

Rice is for the haves and beans, swallow and yam are for the have-nots

God knows rice it not even in my mind to cook to coming festive period..
I will make spaghetti and meatballs, tacos, roasted steaks,..

In recent times the price of rice has increased due to the closure of the Nation's land borders preventing foreign rice from coming through such channels. Rice which used to be around 12,000 naira per 50kg bag is now over 25,000 naira.

It's less than two months to the Christmas and New Year celebration and it's evident that most Nigerian home are stocking up on food items including Rice.

Rice has always been a staple food for Nigerians and also a festive food. It can be used to make different kind of meal e.g Popular Nigerian Jollof and fried rice which are the preferred meal to be served to guests at parties, special occasions and on festive days.

I was at ShopRite Ota yesterday and I noticed the way people are rushing to buy rice and other foods items due to their ongoing discount promo on groceries.

With these ridiculous hike in the amount of rice, Which meal do you think can replace Rice's and state your reasons?

I'm waiting for your responses...

Pounded Yam and correct Vegetable or Egusi soup. I prefer that on festive season.

Gwagone:
Yam and beans or bread and beans is okay by me o

Ever heard of Gus Gus or Quinoa (Pronounced as Kee-wa), highly proteinous, rich in fibre.

Abiodunspectre:


Swallow is a better option but Nigerians wants to be like the white man.

But jollof rice, fried rice and normal rice n stew are not foreign food.

Beans and fried plantain.

The white man eats roast turkey and potato at Christmas time

Realboygenius:

rice is not really an oyibo based meal.if u want to eat like white ppl just be eating donuts,hamburgers and chicken everyday

Never, it's always rice bro.

It's really buzzing today at ICM Ikeja, as people hear discount, omo see rushing

This festive season, I'll rather consider Spaghetti o as rice don cost. I had to buy a lot from Shoprite today and it was really affordable, thanks to there discount.

Ukodo tinz oooo, with either chicken or goat meat..

how? is rice for the white man only?

This question is not for Ekiti people because the best food in everyday life including festive season is Pounded yam with Ìsápá or Egusi soup and palm wine (for those that drink.)

A beg how and where you get info say white dey eat rice during Xmas?
