No Dullling.

Don't Dull

Don't Dull.

He doesn't even have the power to postpone it.... He's Just one of the many promoters of the protest.

mediclife1987:
They want to start selling it tomorrow so they disperse the protest systematically.

Awon ologbon

If that works, it means that Nigerians haven't learned.

APC minions have invaded Nairaland. It's obvious.

haslaw:
Your brain dey leak.

Portable was advising verydarkman that protest never solves any thing giving his own past experiences in past demonstrations

If any European government tries one quarter of the nonsense our govt officials Are doing, you'll know that blacks are still learning the ABC of revolutionary protests.

sammirano:
So an Ibo born in Ogun is from ogun, make una dey think well

If he has Yoruba DNA, then one can't deny the child his Yoruba heritage

EreluRoz:
We are identified by our paternal root and as such she's Nigerian. Even Nigerians will not allow such

She's half South African, born in and grew in South Africa. She's more south African than The Whites in South Africa.

freakyavia:
these ones dey chill naija dey prepare for tumble

Maybe protesters need to visit that house sef.

coleon:
But today Rice is 85000 which more than Tinubus minimum wage yet you Zombies don't want Nigerians to protest.
Nawa oh.

Some brands are 100k sef.... They're living up to their names - Zombies.

DTaj:
The IDIOTS at Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) needed their supervising Minister to tell them that Nigerians were facing difficult economic times?

Don't they shop in similar markets as other Nigerians? Don't they read newspapers at their offices? Don't they listen to daily news?

Are we sure that there are no saboteurs in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government?

Why would a human being with a brain, the DG of NAMA that is, have to wait for the Minister of Aviation to tell him that a wholesale 800% increase in any form of aviation charges by ANY government agency, at this time, when return tickets for 1-hour local flights are already as high as N200,000, is STUPID AND WICKED?

Damn!

Tinubu is giving them that privilege. He has been approving hikes in sundry sectors.

GreenxGreen:
1 August to 10 August is really a game changer 😄😄😄

And it must come to pass... No going back

Nonybb:
I knew that Nigeria is doomed when Satan resurfaced Buhari and Tinubu in 2015 as opposition. We are already bad in economic aspect but I knew deep down that these two was a greater devil then. I mean, let's be honest; how can you trust an analog old timer with a cast mentality like Buhari to lead the country. Even some of you can not allow Buhari to manage your company if he apply as COO (chief operating officer) let alone lead more than 200 million people. Tinubu's own anathema is arrogance, greed and solipsism. They handed Lagos template to him and he screwed everyone, thinking that Lagos State represents a complete microcosm aspect of Nigeria

Those that opposed Buhari then were called ethnic bigots, wailers And political amateurs.... See where their political sagacity has led us to.

Prenonjebose:
Too late for all these knee jack, emergency, fire brigade tactics. The fundamentals for better living conditions Nigerians is still missing. The root cause of these problems, vis a viz IMF induced policies, must be relooked. The oil theft cabals responsible for all manners of opaque and shady deals in the exportation and subsequent importation of refined products must be transparently dealt with to end the unending subsidy imbroglio.
Issues of insecurity through banditry, kidnapping, insurrection and other criminalities must be treated without the gloves on. These unchecked criminalities have made lives unbearable for many. The country has become a huge crime scene where nobody suffers for any economic or social pain inflicted on the people. New taxes and tariffs are continuously being introduced and existing ones increased without scruples as to its attendant impact on the teeming masses. The attitudes, words and actions of many of these politicians at federal and state levels are also largely insensitive to the pains of the people they are supposed to govern.
It is a long walk to freedom. The first step must be taken.

You write well.

luminouz:
Are you shortsighted ni?

Weren't you here when rice importation almost crippled local produce and discouraged local farmers? Buhari blocked that so local production can improve and there will be self sufficiency.

If he opens the border and rice and other things flood the country, na una go still complain say country dey import too much

Una matter taya person

Yes he closed the borders and few years later, the local rice has become ten-fold costlier.

Kobojunkiee:
What kind of imbecilic question is that?
▶ Why would I be helping Nigerians when that is entirely the job of their government?
▶ Do I have Nigeria's money and /or mandate or what?
▶ Was I elected by the Nigerian people to serve in such a role?

I mean why do you people ask the dumbest questions ever?

No mind the slowpoke.... If he knows how many billions of dollars that Nigerians in diapora remit home every year, he wouldn't be asking that.

lereinter:
You people just type

Who told you importing will turn nigeria to dumping ground

Can nigeria adequately produce the two major staple food - wheat flour or rice for the whole population

Also

The people working on agric farms are killed daily and their farms destroyed

If it's you, you will go back

China should start processing cassava and exporting garri to Nigeria sef. Sharply, the price of Garri Will crash.

BabaHenry:
We want a better and a working country Ode oloriburuku Omo ofo !!
Asking stupid question as if your papa blind
Even if you were paid to be doing this shitty job of defending the Government up and down... You should have gotten to face the reality now..
Are you that stupid or you just don't care ?


Things were worst during Jonathan but we can protest because of a fuel price not up to #150 right but I guess you're deaf and dumb, blind at the same time not to know what the fuel price is right now ?
How much is a bag of rice when APC all wanted Jonathan out ?
Infact, what was the price of a bag of rice before this power hungry blood thirsty monster got there ?
I need answers you fool!!!

9k average.... Which was half of the minimum wage then

Daraph:
The fund you're using to do all these rice sh!t, just divert the funds on petrol subsidy and things would be better. Abi nah till when you wan keep sending audio rice that kept getting to the kitchen & stores of the politheifcians? All of us no be 'EBI NPAWA' crew! ALL WE WANT IS AN END TO BAD, HARD, POOR AND STVPID GOVERNANCE.

That subsidy thing no go easy oo.... With the exchange rate now and the landing cost of fuel, they'll have to pay 1k per liter as subsidy for the pump price to come down to 300 naira. It's easier to destroy than to build.

foleskay:
Tinubu don fold. This is the only language the govt understands.

Some are saying Tinubu wont reverse fuel subsidy again,but by the time he sees mass protests across the country and foreign media start broadcasting it,then he go know how far and fold

That subsidy won't be easy to bring back. With the exchange rate now, to sell fuel at 200 per liter will require a subsidy of 1k per liter... FG can't afford that anymore.
Our govt and Nnpc should be transparent And fix the refineries. Also look into the power sector.

phemray:
Yes, that is the reason the guy targets the ward level. Once the LG autonomy is fully implemented, sharing national prosperity programs from top to bottom will be easier. Tinubu's knows how to do this. Nigerians are bad but not all Nigerians. Imagine this being sold at maximum of 1 bag per NIN, even though some people will buy to sell higher but with time it will go round

How many bags of Rice do you think the FG can afford to give out to ALL Nigerians.
Price regulation mustn't be unsustainable subsidy.

Never4getU:
It's not a reduce u know the govt isn't into rice business but a drastic measure to ensure food is largely affordable by means of subsidy on major consumable food items such as rice, garri, beans and a whole lots of others.

Tinubu actually meant well but the idiots around him who should be honest enough to make are the evils in the corridor of power.

Our presidents mostly aren't actually bad as we're made to believe but the people around them are

He should have checks And balances And a Way of getting feedback from the citizens. That's the nonsense Buhari did for 8 years, listening and believing only his close advisers.

patrickmuf:
I was not in support of the protest but now, I am 100% in...

Hahaha..... Sharing subsidized promo rice... What an insult.

Chinkoalhaji34:
This is a step in the right direction! When FG takes initiative like this, it shows they are listening to the needs of the people.

Affordable rice is a big deal, especially with all the rising costs lately. If we can get staple foods at reasonable prices, it will ease the burden on many households. Let’s hope this becomes a regular thing!

You know it's clearly not a Long term solution... At Best it's a One -off discount.

Salewa97:
This is indeed a proactive step by the Federal Government to address the rising cost of living. Selling 50kg rice at N40,000 is a commendable move that will undoubtedly provide relief to many households struggling with food inflation.

It's essential to recognize that the FG is taking tangible actions to cushion the effects of economic challenges faced by Nigerians. This initiative can help stabilize the market and ensure that essential commodities remain accessible to the average citizen.

Let’s also acknowledge the effort to manage resources effectively. If this plan is executed well, it could set a precedent for future interventions aimed at alleviating poverty and ensuring food security across the nation.

Kudos to the administration for this timely intervention!

Kudos for a one - off promo? After over 9 years of patience

Kobojunkiee:
This is what they need,abi? Dem dey mortgage una future for Naira 40,000 bag of rice. You don ask them how they are able to get bags of rice for that price? No be Nigeria money dem dey use subsidize that rice, money wey dem no fit again use to improve infrastructure and even boost the life of people? After you chop the rice finish, hope it will magically refill itself since the unemployment, inflation... all the other problems that exist today... will continue to remain unchanged.

Lol, subsidized Rice... Just a one - off offer. If they even share the rice to everyone, maybe na one cup go reach each person.

iwaeda:
How many people have N40k to buy 50 kg rice and how will the crowd be controlled that many will not be sent to untimely grave. Why is APC solution to food be rice that will not get to everybody? Nigeria is not a sociality country. Why not make economy viable. Is the rice not more than petrol subsidy on the long run?

It's a cosmetic approach.... And clearly not even well planned.
Protest goes ahead.

Jflex07:
Lol. So they could reduce the price of rice all these while, but they refused, yet making Nigerians go through so much pain. Our politicians are really wicked and heartless. How does this even get to the common man? I don't trust these governors one bit.

The last batch they distributed is already being rebagged and sold in Kogi.
