That’s the way forward.

Government MUST without delay import food and sell at very subsidized prices to citizens as a short term plan.

Next ensure security in all communities.
Next grain to farmers.
Result: Food surplus again as it was in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and as far as GEJ’s government.

Somebody's sweat been seized.
Before you rejoice, who are the buyers?
YOU won't even know who bought it.
This corntree is gone

The masses who will buy and resell the bags of rice and the other foodstuffs.
The masses are as corrupt as the political office holders.

Now yahoo boys don get format.
Soon u go dey receive messages on ur phone and emails concerning fake custom auctioning.

Come to think of it: why not government open border on importation of rice and noodles while they close against exportation?

This might help in bringing down d cost of rice....

VeryWickedMan:
"Masses" that will stock the same bags in their shops @ N90k.

Hope you don see as Nigerians bad to themselves.

They will sell it to themselves and nothing will change

NAFDAC should be involved in this to check the status of these products before letting out to the public..

Let it not be that they are expired, not good for human consumption or dangerous to the health..

Let's not in the process of solving one problem , now having multiple problems..


My advice..

Which people ?



Custom staff will buy everything.

25kg 10k

Some ppl will mumuciously rush to custom office with their NIN and 10k

yeman05:
I just don't understand the fact that some of us have phobia for good news. As in good news irritates them. How it's gon be sold is a different case but the fact that there a thought of selling it to the masses is commendable.
We complain about govt every time but we citizen are also part of the problem. I mean, with this news now, someone somewhere will already be planning on how he/she is gon buy multitude of this items and hoard them and sell at higher price later. Why can't we just go there buy one and just leave? We are too greedy and selfish.

Stop ranting ignorantly, if you can show us anyone you know that later got to buy a bag tell us here.

Or even tell nairalanders the process of securing a bag that will be nice also.

I want to buy 5bags.pls location...

Nigerians will buy those foodstuffs and sell it at a higher price, see we are only doing ourselves in this country.

This is criminal

VeryWickedMan:

Exactly the reality 😂

Won't work.

Nigerians are wicked to each other. When individual selfishness comes before common interest, then the whole system will crumble.

Of course few people might be wealthy in a dyfunctional system, but overall, everybody suffers. The world is enough for everyone's need, not everyone's greed.

So-called smart people who I see as idiot anyway, will buy all, stock it up and sell it more expensive.

This is what you get when most of the citizens are utterly underdeveloped individual, that can't think beyond their greed.

Good one from custom

Good what? Na them go still buy am and sell to Nigerians at a high rate.

We need location information where it is happening.

Walai:
Dey play
Who are the buyers ?
How will this improve the condition of over 200 million hungry Nigerians?

200 million hungry Nigerians keh

if is possible to regulate and control it for individual to buy it at least 1 bag and such person will be capture so that he or she will not come back next day to buy again that can only help them so that it will reach everybody like IREV process it will be network across each locations once you have capture in ogun state for example and you come to lagos to buy again the same system will identify such person of no access to buy again

Nyouth:
Auction to who and who

To friends, families and cronies.

Shey na ppl 'investment' dem wan sell laidis?

One person will still buy more than 100 bags and resell in high cost to people

TruthsFM:
Good one from custom

What they would sell to themselves and in turn sell to the market traders at higher price which would eventually end up in the hands of the masses at N80,000 per bag...?

Just dey play...no be only auction nah action...!!

DenreleDave:
Fake news and rubbish.....

With the set of greedy Nigerians, nothing can never work well in this country...

The customs and their ogas will still be the one to sell to their own people and the people will sell at 70k.....

Some people will be overnight millionaires thanks to corrupt Nigerian custom and it's corrupt citizens

There is notin good abt this

Wereey so your stupid blocked eyes don clear now

Good one by the Customs Officials, because it would go an extent in assuaging the needs of the public.

TruthsFM:
Good one from custom

what is good there, you don't know must custom officier have wife or relatives that sells food items that tick contraband

They will be the one to buy it all up via proxy, and resell in retail at mad profit.

MajorOvakporaye:
Scam!!! Another propaganda. Observe very well and shine your eyes, you will never see anyone you know personally buying this imaginary bag of rice for 10k. Only imaginary buyers will buy the imaginary bags of rice. Idiots!!!

Whatever that comes from Tilumbu the drug criminal is fake.

Things that they will sell to themselves and their families and their partners in crime/business
