AkanjiNaira:
Useless government, useless rice. You have a one million rice pyramid and the price of rice in the market in not affordable

laiperi:
Real or fake rice pyramid built on wood in broad daylight.

Nigerians delight one another by laying foundation on sansand.

It's a shame how country's president can be launching rice pyramids which may not even be up to 100,000 bags.

HarunaWest:

PRESIDENT BUHARI UNVEILS RICE PYRAMIDS IN ABUJA

The Executive Governor of Jigawa state Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar joins President Muhammadu Buhari to unveil the FCT MEGA rice pyramids in Abuja.

The One million paddy rice stacked in 15 separate pyramids in Abuja, is in collaboration of the CBN with the Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN).

Five State Governors including Ekiti, Kayode Fayemi; Kebbi, Atiku Bagudu; Cross River, Prof. Ben Ayade; Ebonyi, David Umayi and that of Jigawa, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar are also in attendance.

The Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele lauded the courage and resilience of the smallholder farmers to achieve this single largest rice pyramid ever assembled in Nigeria’s history.

According to him, it’s in line with the current administration’s promise to provide food security in the country.

Despite the challenges of the past few years including Insurgency, banditry, etc, the farmers remained resilient, producing beyond just self-sufficiency.

The mega pyramids being launched today represents aggregated paddy rice submitted as repayment of loans by RIFAN farmers under the 2020 dry season and 2021 wet seasons.

He further notes that the event also symbolizes the efforts made by farmers to commit to loan repayment through produce submission and ultimately ensure the sustainability of the Programme.

The Anchor Borrower’s Programme of the CBN was launched in November 2015, first in Kebbi state, to bring relief to farmers and impact the value chain of different crops in Nigeria.

The program has also improved the National output to 9.5million metric tonnes in quality rice, making Nigeria the largest food producer in Africa and also Saving Nigeria Foreign exchange and preserving.

Kanu arrived the court by 7am amidst tight security as operatives of the Department of State Services frisk journalists and lawyers.

As of the time of filing this report, the court had yet to commence sitting.

“Yes, I’m now in the legal team and that’s why you’re seeing me court,” Ozekhome said.

DozieMartin:
Why is it that each time Nigeria Law enforcement take Nnamdi Kanu to court they always Block Road? As it's now, the road leading from federal secretariat to Nickkon junction is blocked forcing motorists to take alternative route. Imagine a pupil asking me why do they block the road she plays everyday and I have to educate her about Nnamdi Kanu. Nigeria government are making him more popular.

Sitting at home every Monday is better than bandits killing,sacking and razing villages on daily basis..

Posters of Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike have flooded parts of the nation’s capital, Abuja.

The posters, which carried Wike’s bold picture and name, surfaced on Monday.

They were strategically posted on public infrastructures like traffic kiosks, airports, Asokoro and the Federal Secretariat.

The posters were sponsored by “Northerners For Change Group”.

See how the dullard is so relaxed, after destroying the country completely. So clueless a man

Vistra40:
Oga, why not look for a way to send this message directly to the igbo aspirants instead of coming to post it here on nairaland?

Moferere:
Meeting upon meetings.
No solution to the killings in Zamfara.

Mention one Boko Haram member or Bandit that is standing trial currently for the thousands of deaths in the north and you understand what is going on.
Am not suggesting Kanu shouldn't be tried but how come only Kanu and perhaps Sunday Igboho whose crimes (if any) are far lesser than the crimes of those who kill as large as 80 to 200 persons per day in this same country never get tried in any court. The last terrorist trial we heard of in Nigeria was under PDP and that was Kabiru Sokoto whom we learnt his beloved Party APC has already freed.

Igbo ain't dumb like Afonja Who are keeping mute while their lots are being annihilated by the fulani terrorist, and cos tagging you Imaginery FIFA has gained us global sympathy, ask your Fulani NSA.
