bark,bark,bark and then sleep,when you wake up,your symptoms persists.
Even in the north that has a good number of people under the poverty line,they have since embraced realities…continue to Dey rant and wail,if you can’t afford rice of 70k,go and chop sand.if you can’t afford fuel of 955,your urine is free.real men look for means,dumb ones look for excuses

MadamExcellency:
A bag of rice selling at a price equivalent to minimum wage is absurd.

A Nigerian soldier told me he earned N36,000 per month in 2014, and bought 4 bags of rice from his town at N7,000 each and still got N8,000 to run expenses for the month but today, he is paid N90,000 and he can only afford a bag of rice. Na so, I begin to pity them.

Justice for military cadets.

May heaven and the souls of millions of poor people who have passed on from this hardship forgive you for this statement.

You don't know what you are saying. Therefore may you be forgiven.

Obiedun:
This is trash. You are not making sense at all. Price goes up you blame government it comes down you blame government. Can't you be reasonable for once?

Lanretoye:

Importation to kill local manufacturers

helinues:
It's not only in Lagos state but nationwide.

At least, herdsmen attack in Southern region have reduced drastically while the government has been providing empowerment program for our farmers

NaijaphiliaBlog:
The price of rice is currently going through the floor in multiple markets all over Lagos, the economic capital of Nigeria.

This has been confirmed by traders and consumers in the city interviewed by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and who disclosed that the essential victual has witnessed a sudden drop in price.

The crash in price affects both local and foreign brands of rice.

In various markets such as Arena (Oshodi), Festac Town, Mile 12, and Oyingbo, a 50kg bag local rice which sold for about ₦85,000 in January 2025 currently sells between ₦60,000 and ₦70,000.

Likewise, foreign rice which was ₦95,000 as at January is now between ₦65,000 and ₦75,000 depending on the brand/location.

The price drop has been credited to improved local harvests and a massive surge in imports following the reopening of Nigeria’s borders.

Arijude:
liar, the price crash is due to importation through Cotonou and others. If you want to confirm go to the border between Ogun state and Benin republic. Tunubu has opened the border for his people in that axis to make money

When local manufacturers had opportunities to leverage on government's support and make life comfortable for fellow citizens,is it not hoarding they resorted to ? They were inflicting pains on people because they wanted to make huge profits. How can locally produced rice costs more than imported one and you want government to fold its arms and continue watching? Many of Nigerian farmers are greedy

Why not just tell the people to face the reality than using the media to gaslight the people into believing that price of commodities has crashed.
We that r in the southern regions, we still buying rice at a costly price.
Does Nigeria start n ends in lagos, that they use lagos as a determinant price crash state?

Gotocourt:
Rest Abeg, local rice is far more expensive. Na Tinubu fit greedy farmers and middle men

Elusive001:
We know. They propaganda posted up there sa8d "harvest". These guys have sold their souls to the devil.

seunjungle1:
When the opportunity was given to them by the last government, they choke poor masses instead of them to leverage the price.

Rice manufacturers are wicked much more than politicians

Kudunku:
Imagine that, would be insane if thats true

FarahAideed:
Simply importation , simply importation

Government of propaganda, By propaganda and for Propagandists...

Instead of solving national problems, they will run back to their Lagos ibadam express way mercenary press houses for more propaganda..

What's more? Dollar price moved down MASSIVELY from 1500/1usd to 1499/usd. Petrol from 1000/litter to 995/litter.

These are considered as earthshaking progress . Remind them of the prices of all these before APC and they start to foam in the mouth.

No spark, No fire.
No Substance upstairs, No inventive administrative abilities.
Just tribalism and sectionalism.

skywalker240:
It can never be insane, infact buhari and his local manufacturers were insane when they closed the borders without alternatives and needed percentage for a population of over 250 million

What was he thinking?
