They made it 25kg so it would appear that it's big

Let's use the normal size which is 50kg. The 1,200 bags of 25kg will be 600 bags of 50kg rice.
600 bags for 1 state, that's for 600 families.
600 families times 36 states (plus Abuja) = 22,200 families to benefit out of millions of families.
You no sabi maths at all
1200 bags x 20= 24000 bags for each state.

I always find it ridiculous when the government say they are sharing food to small percentage of the population.
Mind you, majority of these palliatives will end up in political bigwigs' bag and they will re-bag and commercialize it

useless government. What can 600 bags of rice do for most States with over 7m to 10m citizens?
20 trucks carrying 30 bags each per State translate to 600 bags of Rice.

Why is a truck carrying only 30 bags of 50k rice of 60 bags of 25kg bags of Rice. Is that not waste of resources.

Our leaders are clueless and all the palliatives will be use to settle part faithful in each State

ChristCee:
The idea is to increase product supply, reduce demand and crash prices. If properly distributed, even that little quantity can crash prices by about 5% for the next two months.
It won't do sh!t to price.



A rice distribution to less than 1% total population will do sh!t to price?


Is this a pathetic effort to depend a failed administration.


Kai! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Great move by FG, hope this helps alleviate the food crisis.
It can never get to you and every member of your family. You cannot even know whoever they will give the so called rice.

Let's break it down using a small state with 20 L.G.As
20 trucks of rice to each state.
1 truck per L.G.A
5 bags per town.
1/2 bag per village
1 cup per family. cool

They are really fighting poverty. Don't give them fish; teach them how to fish. Or the least, create an enabling environment for people to fend for themselves. Nigeria cannot survive a welfare state.

The mind set of muslims is alimanjiri. . honestly.

These clowns keep making me to believe this is a general and strong islamic ideology and inspiration.

Make people around you poor, and let them be looking to you for help and for their feeding always. . Just check the northern Nigeria everywhere. . I was in Kwara under Saraki (Abubakar / Olusola)'s process. So sad.

Just look at Nigeria under Obasanjo, Jonathan, Gowon etc and compare.

The government should stop playing on Nigerian's intelligence. Can 24,000 bags of 25kg rice be enough for household in a local government not to talk of a state?

600 bags multiply by 20 trucks is 12000 of 50kg bag rice for each state not 600 bags. Get proper education. That is a primary school calculation. Let state governments, national and state assembly memebers imitate the effort of the federal government. Am not saying they have done best but they need to be greater collaboration between them.

Modified: I forgot to add number of trucks
600 bags of 50kg times 20 = 12,000 bags
12,000 bags for 1 state, that's for 12,000 families.
12,000 families times 36 states (plus Abuja) = 444,000 families to benefit out hundreds of millions.

774 local government to share 444,000 bags of 50kg rice. Each LG to get 573 bags.
Giving politicians to stock up their house. I wish there is something that will happen to set fire to this country for us to do the right thing. This country is just not working..

The best could have been identifying the poorer people in each town, that is if the teams will be truthful and credit some money to them. Politicians will still loot them. If state governors, assembly members both national and state and chairman also support and key into it by also contributing, then it will work because they will be able to monitor. I support that if they contributed too.

Lets be pragmatic, there is no way they will allocate 50kg to one family ... highest they will resize those bags to 5kg to share

Unfortunately those rice will be reserved for party faithfuls, political incentives

20 trucks per LGA should have been better, since feeding the masses is now better than right policies.

A local Government Chairman in ..... , Diverted 20 bags of rice , he gave it to the man that Handed the sit over to him as former Chairman , another Local Government Chairman from the same state Diverted plenty bags that lead to his Sack .So , how will you believe an average man will see this rice

Tinubu is proving his critics right hourly. Incompetence is a very euphemistic description.

The News should rather be;
Federal Government moves 20bags of rice to APC state secretariats across Nigeria


Why are they contradicting themselves..?
Whatvwill happen if they move it to local government areas?

However, they should do that every week for next 5years..
