Lol let me tell you what they do.

These countries have massive strategic reserves for their grains. They ship the ones that have spent 15 to 20 years to Nigeria at very cheap prices to discourage local production in Nigeria. Their governments fund this.

Oga, the best temperature to store grains, including rice, is 40°F or below; however, rice stored at a constant 70° F with oxygen absorbers will store well for up to 10 years. In cooler storage areas rice sealed in oxygen-free containers can be stored for up to 30 years. A B.Y.U. study sampling polished rice and parboiled rice stored from 1 to 30 years found that both types of rice will keep their nutrients and flavor up to 30 years.

However going by the numbers available, Thailand has 10million tones of rice reserve which practically puts their stock 3yrs, so the question of 10-15yrs as you put it is over sensational.

It begs the question, If Nigerian local rice production hits the roof, won't the excess be stored in a reserve? Will the federal government throw the rice away for the same reason you're demonizing imported rice because of storage? If you have the technology to store food, why not?

A bag of Cotonou rice is 21k


A bag of Naija rice is N17k


The borders should remain closed!

Nigerians are funny people. You want development but want to keep supporting the economies of neighbouring countries, who keep dumping substandard products in Nigeria, through smuggling, at the expense of local production, our economy, and health.

This should be sustained. Nigerian farmers, traders and consumers are eventual beneficiaries.

Foreign rice is substandard? In the international market can Nigerian Rice square up to Thailand Rice?

How do you know he hasn't been paid for 6 months, isn't it in the same media that they said Rohr has not been paid by the NFF but it was a private company that is paying his wages

You expect me to believe what does not come from a credible source but an individual?

Let's hope he has been paid then. But till another report says otherwise.....

Earthquake1:
If Modric is strong then everybody else is a Goliath, He's not only short but has a frail physical structure. He has been rejected by many clubs because of fears that he might not be physically capable to play

Those clubs and Wenger were wrong. One of Wengers many regrets was underestimating Modric's strength.

Earthquake1:
The write up was kind of apologist, kinda giving excuses for present or future failure

If he has issues with the NFF let him sort it out, not drafting grievances that will be referred back to when he fails

Coaches use media to get the ears of the NFF. If it's not in the media the Nff usually won't pay. That's how things work in a 3rd world country like Nigeria.
A man haven't been paid for 6 months and you're defending his principal.
As a graphic designer, don't your clients pay you?

Earthquake1:
Modric is not by any means physical,He has a size disadvantage and body structure disadvantages, He outsmarts his opponent with his intelligence

He is also physically strong. Modric is as tough as nails he's physically and technically balanced. Being short doesn't rub one of being strong physically if that's the case, Etebo won't be said to be physical since he has size disadvantage as well.
Bottom line is that France and Croatia were first class Physically strong teams at the last world cup. Don't run away from the narrative of my initial post.

Earthquake1:
What do you mean?

We are talking about strength of opponents here

Your comment was disrespectful to the result Imama got against Sudan. You then tagged him a failure,when he got the most important result for Nigeria over the weekend.
Your comment was almost encouraging the Nff not to pay him. You sounded insensity that much.
You think I'm lying? Kindly re-read your comments.

Earthquake1:
The best player at the world cup was Modric

Modric is deceptively very strong and can be physical when the occasion demands. He can tackle hard as well. He got red carded 2 weeks ago.
Bottom line is that the two contending world cup finalists had lots of physicality and the played the show piece game.

Earthquake1:
Definitely qualifying for the Olympics was more important, that does not mean that Sudan is a highly rated team

No. It means the Sudan match was more important of the 2 result irrespective of the opponent, highly or lowly.

thekoko007:
we are still on the same path,was only reacting to a post here that said KANU won the uefa cup with ajax,the season ajax won the league KANU wasn't a starter...FACT,....he only had a very good season the following year and they were knocked out in the finals by Dortmund...but at inter...the strikers they had then were better than him,zamorano from Chile was more clinical that KANU...

I wouldn't even classify Kanu as an out and out striker in the first place. The guy was a half 10 more than anything else.

tbaba1234:
We talk about the rigors of African football yet our teams can't get past the first round of the world cup. All of them.

Maybe it is time to start having more technical players as physicality will not win us trophies.

France used their physicality to good effect and won the world cup with almost a complete black team.
The theme should be to get good players. Let's not over elaborate on the physical and technical. Even the other finalist Croatia, were one of the most physical teams in Russia.

Earthquake1:
Imama won against Sudan, Rohr drew against Ukraine
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]
Big difference

But before the match you guys were saying the Sudan game was more important than Ukraine friendly.

sunnyeinstein:
The second sentence addressed that sir/ma, I just did not spell it out.

We are on the same page bro.

thekoko007:
KANU never won the uefa cup with ajax,he only won the uefa champions league with ajax,and he wasn't a regular player with ajax then,he only came into the final game in the 86th mins when the game has been sealed already for the team captain.named Danny blind,and he won the cup winners cup with inter where he had the worst club football career scoring only two goals during is stay with inter,jouri joakeff and Ivan zamorano were the two major strikers inter Milan had then that did very well,and again there are some players in African that did all that KANU did as well but not in the list

Kanu won the Uefa cup with Inter Milan and the Champions league with Ajax. His time at Inter Milan was marred by ill health that's why he featured less.
Yourui DJokaef was not a full striker he was a half striker /no 10. His playing style confused alot of people.
Back to Ajax, Kanu and Kluivert were more of the upcoming talents at the time. Their main striker was LITHMANEN, the blonde guy. But Kanu on his part was very instrumental in their winning the Dutch title. He scored some breath taking goals. There was a particular goal he took out 3 players and the goalkeeper on his arse. Kluivert till date still says Kanu was the best talent he ever played with.

kendrick93:
Oga dinho was the better player the moment he stepped foot in psg..
it showed when both were on the same pitch, Ronaldinho class, football IQ were far ahead of okocha....
I'm not an indomie generation who just thinks it cool to overrate JJ...
truth is Okocha started developing football IQ when he joined Bolton which was his most successful club period...
unfortunately he was already in 30s by then

I'm not a fan of Okocha but Ronaldinho at PSG was very inconsistent. The fans at PSG didn't really like him. He virtually came of age at the 2002 world cup which after he was snapped up by Barca, mind you PSG were more than pleased to let him go.
He was unappreciated at Paris for a reason.
Okocha himself didn't have such a great time at PSG. You will recall at this time, PSG was a struggling midtable club in France. The real big clubs in France were Marseille and Olympic Lyon.

sunnyeinstein:
Indomie generation things, not their fault.
The only KANU they know played for Olympic team, started club career at Arsenal, then West Brom and Portsmouth

I beg to disagree. Being indomie generation is no excuse to lack information in this age of internet.
Not getting information these days is pure negligence not ignorance.

Resurgent2016:
I'm not sure KANU ever won CL or Top scorer

So you don't know Kanu won the champions league and Uefa cup with Ajax Amsterdam?

You dont know jack about Ghana... Who told you he was killed becos he reported actions at Ghana football..

How convinent

psychologygh:
Ahmed Husein worked for Anas who is the most endangered and most targeted journalist in Africa who caused and still exposes huge corruption, crime and massive rots throughout Africa and even Asia. He works hand in hand and sponsored by the BBC ,Aljezeera,the government of Ghana and various private personnels. He unearth huge rots and would not have lasted for a month in Nigeria. Ana's has real enemies everywhere and unfortunately one of his journalist was murdered which became a national issue and discussed everywhere. Our security officials have done some arrest and still on top of the issue .I can tell you for a fact that Anas is untouchable and even the president of the country is scared of him.Can a journalist command that fear and freedom anywhere in Nigeria or even Africa. His whole team would have been jailed by now.Do you ever respect media freedom in Nigeria.

If Anas was that free in your country, why does he wear a mask and sometimes disguise as a lady to hide his identity?

psychologygh:
Our media is ranked number 1 in Africa and ahead of the UK,USA,France and number 27 in the world in terms of media freedom and the best by the 2018 World Media Freedom index.Nigeria is over 130th on the list.Our media is free to report anything they want by even entering into any government or public buildings to demand information about Ghana by the Right to Information Law in Ghana. Nothing is hidden and media houses including some journalists in Ghana are even more powerful than the president and government itself.

What about the freelance journalist Ahmed Husein, who was killed for his reporting of the Ghanaian football scandal?

You want Corp members to marry on 18k alawee with no social benefits?

Seriously it's an eyesore. I just came back from Enugu and could hardly believe this was the once beautiful haven that was even rivalling Abuja with its well structured and beautiful road networks.

Now virtually every corner you see gigantic potholes..

The days of Sullivan

Enugu do not have a visionary leader.

I have no sympathy to give on this one. A popular Ghanaian blogger was rejoicing at the killings in South Africa thinking only Nigerians were targeted.
Hope to see his reaction and that of the simpleton South African girl, running around on Nairaland claiming their fathers had no problem with Ghanaians but Nigerians.

Igbo esika

Which kain country be this?

Just 3 boko boys on a suicide bombing mission down South Africa and even scores will be even.

Sterope:

This wasn't about football. Stop showing your ignorance.

Shouldn't we be exploring a military operation in South Africa now? There's nothing to achieve with diplomacy.
A military operation or a state sponsored terrorism should be the way to go.

How many Northern buisness men have investments in the South East?

Answer= Zero

The Ndubuaku fellow is not lettered. Does he have any right to go serve individuals court orders when he's not the court ballif?
Why not state instruments like AMCON to recover the vehicles and other state properties in possession of the ex governor?
Ihedioha is not being civilized.

The Efcc is fighting Yahoo Boys in a wrong way.

I am saying so because the hospitality industry is now affected.

The Nigerian economy is also affected.

The Efcc should have faced the Yahoo Plus Boys that are killing girls or ladies for ritual sacrifice because this aspect is very evil.
Infact, the yahoo plus boys should be hanged or executed by firing squad for killing humans for ritual purposes.

They should have left the YAHOO BOYS that are bringing foreign exchange into the country.

Some of this yahoo boys are internet beggars going online to beg white ladies for money. They are not fraudsters in the real sense of the words.

Some of this ladies in the dating sites are even lonely and they happily send money to this boys for chating with them online.

The money that is brought in by the Yahoo boys helps to pay the salaries of the BARTENDERS, HOUSEKEEPERS, CHEFS, COOKS, ETC

Landlord and Landlady also benefit from the SOCALLED DIRTY MONEY.

I am against the manner the federal government is using EFCC to pursue fraudulent activity.

The Efcc is fighting fraud in the wrong way to the extent that it is now destroying our strategic interest.

BRITAIN, CANADA, IRELAND, USA, NETHERLAND (HOLLAND ) GERMANY, CHINA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, TURKEY ETC DID NOT RAISE ANY COMPLAINT TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Why is the federal government so determine to fight internet fraud while leaving the ECONOMY so badly battered.

If they want to solve the problem of the YAHOO BOYS they should strategically engaged with this boys in such a way that they should be encouraged to stop fraud and then use their illgotten wealth to invest in businesses that benefits the economy of Nigeria.

The Ghanaians do not fight fraud the way Buhari is fighting fraud in Nigeria.

EVEN BLOGGERS, FREELANCERS, FOREX TRADERS, ARTIST IN NIGERIA ARE NOW A SUSPECT ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE SEEN WITH A LAPTOP.


Efcc now are fully engaged with pursuing yahoo boys leaving the corrupt government politicians to smile home with our looted COMMONWEALTH.

The Efcc should let crime thrive in Nigeria because it is affecting hospitality buisness?
Jesus on bike! Can't the so called Efcc track down posts like this on forums like Nairaland and get yahoo advocates like this arrested?

The team won only one game.

And they played in the finals? Were the other teams banned?
