Foreign rice neat, but local rice sweet pass.. The choice is all yours.

Wickedtruths:


Parboil and drain. Do this twice and add plenty water before finally getting done.

Once done, drain the excess water in a sieve and pour the rice back in the pot let the fire lick the remaining water.

phr0nesis:

Alright thanks. I'll try this and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'm coming to back for you

Wrong info. Importation of rice like some other specific items (about 40 of them) are permanently banned from entering Nigeria. Not just through the land borders but also through seaports and airports. You can't legitimately import rice into the country as at today.

olasaad:


I know my problem is how will our government not caring about what we eat. Very few of the so call local rice are safe for consumption most are dirty and full of stone's.

Abakaliki rice too sweet.

Last year, you said Atiku was too corrupt to be Nigeria's President; but you're considering BULLION VAN to be President in 2023.

Instead of BULLION VAN to become Nigeria's President in 2023, please and please, and please again, the north should hold on to power!!

My two cents.

mfm04622:


Always ask for more info when in doubt! Rice is NOT on the banned list because FG recognise that we don't produce enough rice to meet local demand. So they increase the duty to encourage local demand. The high duty make it lucrative to smuggle rice. Rice is NOT banned. It is the importation (smuggling really) through land borders that is banned

De-stoning is #200 per 50kg bag

Oh Lord! Importation of rice is permanently banned through the land borders, seaports and airports. Some other items which I can get their list. Why do you custom officers are raiding stores to confiscate rice? There is nothing like smuggled and non smuggled imported rice.
