Do you know that sickle cell patients can't have malaria?
Because their red blood cells do not survive enough to give malaria the opportunity to grow to the infective stage..

It's because you don't own a business or run a business that you are speaking like that. (note that I did not say that exploitation doesn't happen...but it is not as widespread as you think).

A lot goes into producing rice in this country, compounded by the fact that the climate in the major rice growing areas doesn't favor them, and by the fact that transport and other costs have gone up in this tinubu economy.

What you are indirectly suggesting is government price controls on domestically produced rice. Countries that have tried that have always ended up with scarcity of food and any other product government puts price controls on, because no human being likes to do work for free or for poor wages, so that others can enjoy 'cheap food'.

And it usually backfires on the economy.

You better learn that things cost money, plus you don't effing have to eat rice every day.

Why should I buy a local product for an exorbitant price? When I can buy a better version of that product elsewhere for a cheaper price..

I can't make myself unhappy just to make greedy farmers rich and happy

nairalanda1:
You are essentially arguing that farmers in nigeria should lose money and suffer financially , or failing that, should be driven out of work so that you can have cheap food.

You also are essentially supporting wasting more forex...or sending our forex...to foreigners instead of trying to keep it at home

A better idea would be finding ways to reduce production costs of rice here in nigeria...or just grinning and bearing it....or making sure we have an industrial economy, which would spur investment in increased production of rice here.

Listen to ur self, as if u don't know the country that you are in.

Nigerians are greedy, even if all these things are in place, Nigerians will still exploit each other as far as they are the only source of a particular product

nairalanda1:
They can't because their operating costs are higher than the Thais and the Brazilians. If they did that they would be broke in minutes and there would be no rice production in Nigeria in a few years

The fact that mills have to run on diesel generators instead of mains power supply, the high cost of transporting rice and the fact that Nigerian rice producers cannot meet national demand fully all contribute to the high operating costs

Let them rest.. They should stop the farming

We will import rice and eat.. They should grow cassava instead

nairalanda1:
The countries we import rice from, Thailand and Brazil, have something we don't have....year round rain and favourable conditions for growing rice nationwide all the. year round

So they can produce rice in large amounts yearly

In Nigeria,.most rice farming is done in the North which means it requires a lot of irrigation and heavy duty labor as rainfall there is not as much as in the other countries . That means that production cost for rice here is much higher than in Thailand or Brazil where irrigation is not necessary or needed much.

Also,.Nigerian rice producers can't meet up to half of the total rice demand. That creates relative scarcity.

Add transport costs and insecurity and poor road and transport networks as well as lack of large-scale farming of rice, and the reasons for the price being higher become clear

Then let's just import the rice for God's sake, so the consumers should be the ones paying for irrigation and transportation? When we can get a better quality and affordable rice from other countries without having to pay for the irrigation, transportation or other things..

Our farmers are greedy

Soludo's son will get weirder with this latest news

Why not just write "please Respond".. Why use French acronym in an English speaking country that even needs IELTS to study in an English speaking country abroad..

May God save us from the hands of political criminals

Wike will learn a lesson..

The weak Governor on it again.

I pray he finally finds his balls in this life before God calls him to eternity

FIFA has finally ruled on the case between Super Eagles of Nigeria and DR Congo. See full judgement below 👇🏼

FIFA DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE

(Under the authority of FIFA Regulations and the 2026 World Cup Qualification Framework)

IN THE MATTER OF:

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)
v.
The Congolese Association Football Federation (FECOFA)

RE: Eligibility Dispute – 2026 FIFA World Cup African Qualifiers (Best Losers Playoff Round)

⸻

DECISION AND RULING

⸻

I. Background
1.The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), representing the Nigeria national football team, filed a formal protest following the Best Losers Playoff match against the DR Congo national football team.
2.The playoff match was held to determine qualification for the final African slot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
3.The match concluded with a 2–1 victory in favor of DR Congo, provisionally granting them advancement.
4.Nigeria’s protest alleged that Player X who appeared and scored during the match, was ineligible to represent DR Congo due to an incomplete nationality switch process under FIFA eligibility regulations.

⸻

II. Jurisdiction
5.The FIFA Disciplinary Committee confirms jurisdiction pursuant to Articles 52 and 54 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and the Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes regarding player eligibility.

⸻

III. Findings of Fact

After reviewing:
•The official match report,
•Player registration documentation,
•Correspondence between FECOFA and FIFA’s Players’ Status Department,
•Evidence submitted by both federations,

The Committee finds:
6.Player X previously represented another national association at youth competitive level.
7.Under FIFA Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes, a player seeking to change association must:
•Submit a formal request for change of association;
•Receive written approval from FIFA;
•Await official confirmation before participating in an “A” international match.
8.While Player X had initiated the nationality switch process, the required formal approval from FIFA had not been issued prior to the Best Losers Playoff match.
9.No provisional clearance or temporary authorization had been granted.
10.The player therefore did not meet the eligibility requirements at the time of participation.

⸻

IV. Applicable Regulations
11.Article 9 of the Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes stipulates that a player may only represent a new association after approval of the change of association request.
12.Article 21 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code provides that a team fielding an ineligible player shall forfeit the match.
13.Playoff matches are considered official competition matches and are subject to strict eligibility compliance.

⸻

V. Decision

Accordingly, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee rules as follows:
1.Player X of the DR Congo national football team was ineligible at the time of the Best Losers Playoff match due to an incomplete nationality switch.
2.DR Congo is deemed to have fielded an ineligible player.
3.The playoff match is declared forfeited.
4.The result is recorded as:
•DR Congo 0 – 3 Nigeria
5.The Nigeria national football team is declared winner of the Best Losers Playoff Round.
6.Nigeria is thereby awarded qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
7.The DR Congo national football team is disqualified from the playoff pathway but retains the right to appeal before the FIFA Appeals Committee.

⸻

VI. Observations

The Committee emphasizes that nationality switch procedures are fundamental to preserving competitive integrity in international football. Participation without formal approval, even if administrative processing is underway, constitutes a clear regulatory violation.

Strict compliance is mandatory, particularly in high-stakes playoff fixtures determining World Cup qualification.

Those same items in 2013 would have cost about 9,000 Naira.
