A businessman said he is selling his bags of rice for N58,000 each, and that he can deliver to any part of Nigeria. Haidar Abdullahi Gaduwama made a post on X, and there were so many people rushing to his account and indicating interest in buying from him. The man showed off the bags of rice he was selling for N58k.

I sell this 50kg parboiled Nigerian made Rice, Long grain and stone free for 58k only. DM if interested, let’s do business." Legit.ng spoke with him, and he said he farmed some of the rice himself in Hadejia, Jigawa state. His words: "Firstly, we farm our Rice in Hadejia, Jigawa state. But we also buy paddy rice from local farmers across the state, then process and package it for sale. I guess my rice is cheap because I farm it, process it and package it myself without any other party involved. Its like a direct labour so it cuts many unnecessary costs." Haidar, who said he started a rice business in 2021, noted that he was cheaper because others were selling between N65,000 to N68,000.

The Kano trader told Legit.ng: "We processed and polished it exactly like the foreign rice because it's stone and dust free and also long grain."

@emmaculatee1 commented: "Please DM, I have someone who needs more than 150 bags of Nigerian rice."

@shinadang asked: "Those who are selling for 78-80k where are they getting their rice? Is this inflation a self-induced one?"

if true it's good news

Kudos to him.

This means that high prices are due to high cost of transportation and the antics of middlemen.

Funny aspect of this story is that most of the people ordering may end up doing ''round tripping'' with the rice.

''Nobody innocent''

I hope it will not end in tears

Greed at its peak.
