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

Elliotwaveforec:
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.

Bro I wonder oo.

Paddy rice wey de mill for kano is 60k. I don't know where's getting this news from

Local rice is 3000 per mudu. I'm rice farmer and I'm even at just break even now

“A bag of short grain rice we saw going down to as low as 65k has gone as high as 85k, the long grain sells between 90k and as high as 100k and it’s still going up.

Kukutente23:
I hope zombies can read and understand now
I've been telling them that the rice that fell to 65k and below is the short grain local rice which is usually sticky and soggy
The long grain local rice is still 70k and above and foreign rice is 80k and above as well
At least you're hearing it from a dealer now

Kaycee9242:
Apc government are scammers, there is nothing good or real about them.

DeOTR:
The same rice that I just bought yesterday? You people are joking too much in this country. If you read this article gently, you'll see where the saboteurs are driving at, but we'll be waiting for them.

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

If only we understand that the common Nigerian is the major weapon fashioned against this country, maybe we may begin to realize how almost irredeemable this country has become.

A family friend of mine had a terrible experience with Nigeria Custom Service officers along the Idiroko axis sometimes last month (June 2025). He had gone to purchase 4 bags of rice at N45,000 each (this was a mutual funding by four neighbours) and was returning when he was intercepted by NCS officers, they searched and then released him to go. He had not driven up to 3 minutes when he noticed the NCS officers chasing him with motorbikes. He stopped and they said they were instructed to seize the bags of rice. They eventually did and this family friend had to contact another friend who is a Superintendent of Customs. The SC told him to return to the post where the bags were seized so he can speak to the officers, but upon arriving there, he was told the bags have been moved to the custom warehouse.

He proceeded to the warehouse where they denied receiving such item that day. After so much back and forth, my friend became frustrated and abandoned the recovery process. Somehow, he later learnt that the same people he bought the rice from were the ones colluding with the NCS officers to seize the rice, thereby spiking the price gradually.

Nigeria's problem is beyond Tinubu, Obi or Atiku. Nigerians are fantastically corrupt. It will take the Chinese style of executing corrupt officials and citizens for some normalcy to be restored in the way we conduct ourselves.

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

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

Kukutente23:
There's nothing like saboteur
Rice comes in different grades and quality
The rice that's within 60k-70k price is local rice especially the short grain
Foreign rice is between 80-100k
That's a fact of the market

Dealers blame the development on the presumed end of the 150-day duty-free import window for essential food items as part of the Presidential Accelerated Stabilisation and Advancement Plan.

PrincessDiana:
Nice story sir!
But it all sounds like Tales By Moonlight if such officers are not named. If your friend had taken down the names of such officers, their locations and dates that all these happened, then someone in government might step in. White people come here and they document being asked for bribes.
Whereas we Nigerians never call out corrupt people directly.
We all talk about corruption as if the people involved are ghosts.

Until we learn to name and shame these people, I doubt if we can say we ready for a new Nigeria.
