heendrix: Thanks for the insult In return, may God bless you and your extended and immediate family. I honestly thought that you had an engaging and intellectual mindset that was interested in discussion and exchange of ideas. I'm sad to find out that i was wrong. Bye. Do have a good and prosperous day anyway. |

Only in the south you hear customs shooting and kill innocent nigerians in the name of smuggling but can hardly hear of it in the Northern borders. Is smuggling official in the the North? Free movement of cattles, rice, beans etc including humans. Our southern leaders know of all these yet they keep quiet because of money the dash them. One day judgement will come either by man as a leader or definitely by God. |

Where is the rice Bihari claimed is being grown in Nigeria. If not for this smugglers many people would have died of hunger. Life has become very cheap under this WICKED people. |

heendrix: It is indeed a pity for the people parents who gave birth to you. Those custom officers were simply doing their job. And it is people like who would quickly open your wide mouth that Nigeria is not working, yet you support criminality. You actually think and believe that smuggling is as a result of "hard times, recession and hunger"? You need to think again! Smugglers always try to smuggle in any item that is prohibited from Nigeria to USA to China just to make profits huge profits. Did you read part where the report said that smugglers opened fire first on the officers? Do you know how many innocent people have been killed by those smugglers, not just custom officers? |

Northanstar: When will you guys stop all these lies? Less than two months ago, custom officers were chasing rice smugglers in one of the northern states and their vehicle rammed into the market crowd and killed multiple people. Enforcement of ban on some items is as effective in the North as in the south. |

anorexicmuster: No brotherly you got me all wrong in that comment, I wasn't referring to you. I was actually talking to that Sunday guy that I mentioned first (if you'll kindly read it again) who reply my comment on the thread with insult, so I'm calling him out and what I basically said there was for him to learn on how intelligent you gave ur point without insulting me in which I learnt something and I'm sure he'll learn to. in a nutshell I was commending the fact that you reply my nasty comment in a more matured way and also taught me. so sorry if you felt the message was directed to you (it's really wasn't) wishing you a blissful week ahead to and happy Sunday. |

OgunLaakaye:so rice production and maximisation in investment takes a century to materialise. We just have to stop fooling ourselves. You can't continue to starve your people Cos u want a few farmers from the north to rip bountifully. Since Innoson started his car assemblage in Nigeria has your FG ever bought a car from Innoson? What happens to local patronage? I can bet my balls dat if Innoson was to be a northern business, the govt would have mandated all MDAs to buy their operational car from Innoson. A country whr minimum wage is 30,000, and bag of rice 32k, then such govt has failed woefully |

Daboomb: Well, on a state by state basis, the largest rice producers in the country are Kebbi Benue Ebonyi Ekiti Jigawa Kaduna Kano Ogun Niger Cross River 29 states are involved in rice production in Nigeria. We produce 8MILLION tonnes of rice annually. That may seem a lot, but not as much as China, and India and even thailand. (17 million metric tonnes) More on rice production in Nigeria here (Medium) Also, as to why Southern states don't produce more rice...ask their governors. In fairness , the governors of states like Kebbi, and Ogun have really been interested in rice production. Lagos too is also another state where the state government too is interested in improving rice production as well. |

anorexicmuster: There are Natural Swamps in the SS and South West, why is the Nigerian Govt not encouraging the production of Rice in the South? Ofcourse, Buhari wants the South to depend on the North for Food, so that they can use it to suffer them, when push becomes shove, as happened last year when Northerners decided to Blockade food transportation to the South, unless they permit thier lands to be taken by force (RUGA) ! - Why is a bag Rice #32,500? GREED and EXPLOITATION - Who is making these Killer-Profits? RICE FARMERS IN KANO AND THE WHOLE NORTH - Who is suffering the high Cost? CONSUMERS IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA - Why is the Fed Govt not stepping-in to check-mate this EXPLOITATION? Because it benefits the Northerner and impoverishes the Southerners. - Who are those destroying Southern farmers Crops? THE SAME NORTHERNERS, BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT THE SOUTH TO BE FOOD INDEPENDENT - Who are those Staff at the Customs weaponizing this Food Shortages in Southern Nigeria? - THEY ARE NORTHERNERS THAT BUHARI POSTED TO HEAD THE CUSTOMSIN SOUTHERN AREAS - Why are Customs so focused on Smuggling in the South, while the Borders are Open in the North? - ITS ALL PART OF BUHARI'S FULANI PLAN TO STRANGULATE SOUTHERN NIGERIANS Southerners need to sit back and think critically. If you think things are just happening by coincidence or these are just conspiracy theories, then you cant be more mistaken. Starvation is a veritable tool of war! Ask yourself: How come the roads in the South have been left undone for the better part of the 8yrs of Buhari's administration while all the Roads in the North, even as far as a neighbouring country (including rail) have been completed? How come all of a sudden, the Major Roads in the South, especially places like Lagos are being closed "for repair" all at the same time, causing economic hardship and stagnation? To repair Roads is good but to use it as a weapon of of economic ruin (in the manner in which it is being executed, closing most roads at the same time, instead of spreading it out as done in the North), is UNACCEPTABLE and we know that it is a deliberate effort to cripple business in the South. All the BMC's can rant on my post but very soon, the Truth will hit all of you in the face and it will be too late by then. |
Re: Seven Feared Dead As Smugglers Engage Customs In Gun Duel In Ogun by Nobody: 5:33pm On Oct 17, 2021 |
Daboomb: Have replied to you in my previous post. But really, state governors too need to do more. As far as I know, the states that have high rice production have had polices in place to promote rice production too. Like Lagos and Ogun ..for example. Ebonyi state has always been a rice producer from time inmmenorial. Importation of rice need not stop, but we should not be too reliant on imported rice, because at the end of the day that's forex going to another nation, not staying here. Modified... Some details from the Medium post I put up earlier(link here) Production constraints |

After payment at the boarder , you still want to collect the goods on The way to their destination. Maybe one of the oga order for bags of Rice for a burial ceremony party Take it or leave it , it's the officer that will loose and training schooling yet killed by tout with no value for life |

anorexicmuster: You are not being realistic. and honest here What can Governors do, when AK47 armed Fulani Herdsmen come calling, for a Governor that cannot even Order a battalion or Police Eregiment into action, if the IG in Abuja does not approve first? Did the President not asked the military to mop up all weapons the farmers were using to defend themselves, yet the Fed Govt cannot defend them? How do STATES then produce the Rice, when the Farmers cant go to the Farm, less they get raped and killed by Fulani herdsmen? Even those that manage to sow some Crops, the Herdsmen feed it to their Cows and burn the rest or have yo not seen the Videos? And since the States cant produce the Rice locally, why Ban the Imports or are people suppose to be eating Grass? While Importation of food is not encouraged, People MUST EAT when hungry and as long as the food is not available locally, it MUST be imported. How can a man work for a WHOLE MONTH and his salary cant buy a bag of Rice? This is what people like you are recommending and that is very sad. Nigerians have never been impoverished this much, since l am grown up enough to know them. |

Daboomb: Like I have said on this thread earlier...I am not opposed to the legitimate importation of rice. What I am opposed to is smuggling in of rice. Smuggling is not the same thing as legitimate importation. I also believe we need to eventually become more self sufficient because we are losing too much forex as it is. |
