We are still importing rice? I don't even know the name of the minister of Agriculture.

I'm surprise you're not asking the people who imported were they got 1600/$ from to import rice

uuuuuuuuuu

Damn not again!
Rice is one of the main food Nigerians consume daily. If the government truly cares about the welfare of the masses, then the price of rice must be brought down at all cost !

Lamentation and wailing have started by the same people that condemn decrease in the price before.

Dude, you have never seen proforma invoice so don't even try to argue with me on importation.

I'm surprise you didn't ask the importers how they were able to import rice at 1600/$

No one is importing anything into Nigeria because the exchange rate is 1600/$

I don't know who tied Nigerian Government Hands from heavily investing into getting Nigerian Youths Nationwide into Agriculture. I guess this is the Answer below:

How the West is Using Killings in Benue to Destroy Nigeria’s Food Supply and Introduce GMO

Deep in the heart of Nigeria lies Benue State, often referred to as the “Food Basket of the Nation.” From yam to cassava, rice to vegetables, Benue has long been the agricultural backbone of the country. But what if the relentless killings in this region weren’t just random acts of violence or farmer-herder clashes? What if they are part of a deliberate, international plot?

Here's the theory:

Step 1: Destabilize the Food Basket
Over the past decade, Benue has witnessed escalating attacks on farmers and rural communities. Entire villages wiped out. Farmlands abandoned. Year after year, the attacks intensify—but strangely, no lasting solution is ever enforced. Why?

Sources suggest that these violent incursions may be orchestrated to systematically wipe out indigenous farming activity, making local food production impossible. If Benue cannot farm, Nigeria will starve—or at least experience severe food shortages.

Step 2: Create a Food Crisis
With Benue in chaos, food prices skyrocket across the nation. Yam becomes gold. Tomatoes become luxury. The masses cry out for relief. The government scrambles. Then—like a well-timed savior—the West steps in.

Western NGOs, biotech corporations, and donor agencies start offering “solutions”:

“We’ll donate seeds.”

“We have high-yield, pest-resistant crops.”

“Our GMO maize and rice can feed 10 times more.”

“We can help you rebuild your agriculture.”

But there's a catch: those seeds are genetically modified, and with them come strings attached.

Step 3: Hook Nigeria on GMOs
Accepting GMO seeds often means:

Dependency on foreign seed companies every planting season.

Loss of native seed sovereignty.

Introduction of patents, where farmers can be sued for saving seeds.

Erosion of local farming knowledge in favor of lab-created agriculture.

Soon, Nigeria becomes hooked on genetically modified food—just like much of the Global South.

Step 4: Control the Food, Control the Nation
If you control a nation’s food supply, you control its people, its policy, and its future. With Nigeria dependent on foreign biotech firms for seeds and food stability, the West gains unprecedented influence over the largest Black nation on earth.

Benue—once the proud heart of Nigeria’s food independence—is turned into a testing ground for lab crops.

Is it coincidence that Benue, of all places, continues to burn while the rest of the world pushes GMO agriculture on Africa? Or is there something deeper—a coordinated economic warfare disguised as humanitarian aid?

Stay woke. Follow the seeds. The truth is buried in the soil.

Very True! Time is running out! This should be Focus of all Nigerian Activists, Very Dark Man, Sowore, and all others. And Please, how can we Nigerian Youths Unite to force this Government to Stop GMO?! Uniting for this is far more important that the useless argument about Politics that we daily waste away Life doing on Social Media!

Vote for APC in 2027 so a bag of rice becomes 20K.

The Borders are closed again for Rice imports. Customs and Kelebe are showing Smugglers shege.

Expect the Price to rise Further.

Just check the name of the writer of this article to understand the senselessness in the reporting.

No one is also importing cars and fuel into Nigeria because the exchange rate is 1600/$

See what Tinubu renewed shege hard economy has caused..it's a pity

Lolz, Nigerians never see shege, make dem wait🤣.

This is NOT true. Purchased rice for 68k. There are brands for 65 and 70

richiemcgold:
Rice is still between 65k to 70k here in my state. Foreign rice o

local foreign.

Foreign cost more

Nigerian media are economic saboteurs, they're doing this so that sellers can increase prices.

The Nigerian media are economic terrorists, and they need to be investigated.

Partisan politics filled with sycophants and political jobbery is a big hindrance to national development and prosperity for all...we are in 2025, 2 years into this tenure, they are busy campaigning for 2027 instead of putting in work.

Is our system and nation now all about partisan politics and politicking?

Where is performance and stewardship?

SalamRushdie:
Tinubu has never had solution to anything ever except lifting up his cronies ..Any body expecting great economy from him is not serious

I know the head will always take responsibility but Nigerians are wicked to one another.

And what they are saying in the article might not be true,I bought rice last week below 100k so why are they lying to create artificial inflation.

Why be say bag of rice price big pass common man salary.
Waytin be the minimum wage again for this country, someone remind me.

Dear Nigerians,

Let me reiterate for he last time, grow/farm what you eat

How will price just move from ₦62-65k to ₦100k.
ADC are doing well in propaganda

iwaeda:
Sometimes when I sit to think, I ask myself, why are Nigerians so wicked to one another, just because of politics. Many will still come here and tell you things are ok, they may even ask you, must you eat rice. There is God oo, happy Sunday.

The people are as wicked as their leaders. The few rich only care about themselves. The rest can go and die. That is Nigeria for you

Price of Rice would have been cheaper if we continue importing from neighbouring countries since we can't feed ourselves. APCshit really messed with this country starting from Buhari but Tinubu is doing a terrible job
