Why do we like lying to ourselves in this country ...u banned rice import yet it floods the market and sold at super high prices u drive inflation and gain absolutely nothing

Rice bought 10 to 12k in Cameron and Benin are sold for 40k in the market ....

Why not all import ...tax it 50% to 100% ...the price of rice would drop to around 25k to 30k ...you can use the revenue gained yo found rice improved seeds development and pesticide research .....in 5 years we can match thailand in yeild ...import would die naturally

How much was foreign rice before that living dead locked the border? It was around 17,500. How much is local rice right now? Almost 30k. Both you and your president lack common sense!

Re: Rice, Poultry, Others Remained Banned As FG Reopens 4 Borders by eldoradoxx: 10:10am On Dec 17, 2020
Nigerian government headed by Buhari lacks basic economic sense. Why ban rice importation when your country lacks what it takes to produce rice that has become staple food? When rice importation was banned local rice which was about 6k per bag rose to 25k per 50kg bag meaning that there is a disequilibrium between demand and supply thereby occasioning food crisis in Nigeria. When rice importation was allowed a bag of 50kg good grade Tai parboiled rice was as low as #12k per bag, now it is between #35k to #40k. Government should remove its hands from rice business. They don't need to give foreign exchange for rice importation if that is the issue. If smuggled Tai parboiled rice goes around #16k around the border communities without Federal government forex, it means Buhari and his economic team are just out to punish Nigerians with hunger, a repeation of exactly what same animal called Buhari did in 1984 that caused hunger then.

If you produce bad product, no one will patronize you. That’s common sense. So because I want to patronize Nigerian rice, I should keep eating stones?

Long over due.
Those northern borders though
Hope the reopening won't lead to much more massive abductions of our citizens and facilitate the the escape of their captors into the terrorist controlled desert neitherrland

No!
Why suddenly did Buhari opened the borders he closed 7-Months ago?
• Has the objectives of the border closures been realized now?
-How come the Benin-Republic citizens are celebrating the opening of the borders since yesterday?
•Is Nigeria self Sufficient in Basic Food Productions like,America,China and India?
•Despite the nutritious Nigerian Rice,why can't we produce Rice that is Free Of Stones after 60years of Independence?
• Can't we discipline ourselves and ensure we feed the African Continent as a whole?
Nigerian Leaders need to do a serious Global Outlook in all ramifications,if we are going to be considered a Nation in years to come!
