Though as a parent, I would have paid them visits in their various schools to know how they are performing but since it has come to this, I will send them abroad or they have to learn one trade or the other so as to avoid further nuisance to the society and family

but a child in your care that fails to follow ur instruction, how would such child be able to make it abroad with no guardian?

this is Nigeria where a hill is called gigantic mountain

There is one thing I do not understand about this country, when the price of crude oil crashed, I was expecting the price of PMS too to fall, instead the price keep skyrocketing with no hope of reducing....This country is really a joke...

Alhaji Aminu Goronyo, the National President, Rice Farmers Association, has assured Nigerians that the market prices of locally produced rice will soon crash.
Goronyo told News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Wednesday that the price a 50kg bag of locally produced rice would plummet from N18,000 to between N6,500 and N7000 by April 2018.
He said the price-reduction plans would be achieved under a joint programme of RIFAN and the Anchor Borrowers Programme of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which would be launched in Abuja on January 13, 2018.
Goronyo said 12 million rice farmers in the country would benefit from the one-year partnership, adding, however, that 300,000 rice farmers from 20 states would be supported at the beginning of the programme in January.
He said under the new initiative, the CBN had modified the programme to facilitate its direct relations with RIFAN so as to ensure timely disbursement and full repayment of loans, unlike what obtained in the past.
He said the new initiative would double the achievements of the earlier edition of ABP, which was launched on November 17, 2015 in Kebbi State, with a target to produce additional 2.5 million tonnes of paddy rice.
He said in 2015, Nigerians spent not less than N1 billion daily on rice consumption, adding that while the spending had reduced drastically, rice consumption had increased significantly because of the increase in local production of rice.
Goronyo said the available statistics indicated that the rice consumption rate in the country now had increased from 7.9 million tonnes to over 8 million tonnes, while the volume of rice production had increased from 5.8 million tonnes to 6.9 million tonnes per annum.
He, however, noted that several efforts had been put in place to cut down the price of rice, adding that some of the efforts included collaborations with Competitive African Rice Initiative and other African countries to boost rice production and exports in Africa.
Goronyo stressed that rice prices would further drop, as there were currently bumper harvests in rice farms across the country, while RIFAN was collaborating with rice millers on the pricing of the commodity.
Besides, the RIFAN president said RIFAN had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria Customs Service on how to contain rice smuggling into the country through the land borders.
Goronyo said the efforts being put in place and the current economic situation in the country had made it somewhat difficult for people to import rice into the country and make profit.
He said: “The landing cost of a 50kg bag of imported rice is now N19,500.
“Then, how much should the 50kg bag of rice be sold?
“The smuggled rice that comes into Nigeria is just five per cent of what we consume and the rice comes in through the informal sector.”
The ABP, which was launched by President Muhammadu Buhari on November 17, 2015, is aimed at creating linkages between companies involved in rice processing.

Thats really petty coming from sahara reporters. Its a shame, you guys really stoop low to throw tantrums at an old man having symptoms very-very common with old age. IBB is over 80yrs and if he dies today, he didn't die early at all.

If the result of muslims stealing his shoes took 24 years since 1993 to manifest, then the result came too late.

he is 70 plus not over 80...

In our case, the farmer stood up to the herdsmen and in fact one our governors was the first to sign the Anri-Grazing Bill.

In your own case, your people were butchered and killed, guess what your Governor Ugwuanyi did? He started crying like a baby.

Get a life.

in addition... he asked the people to fast and pray.
