Whatsoever good thing the administration does from now till 2027 can be seen as campaign tactics. But the question is, would you rather they did nothing at all?

It was a donation to for the humanitarian crisis in the NE under the United nations world food program.

Unfortunately, the rice will not be used for what the donor had in mind,
More rice for Apc rice for vote campaign.

It is quite laughable though that Nigeria received rice worth approximately 30 million naira from another country as food aid.

Is this also one of the achievements of the administration? Getting rice handouts from third world countries on humanitarian grounds? Nigeria was on the verge of attaining food security especially in the area of rice production until Tinubu came and opened the market to rice importation, thereby impoverishing our local farmers and wrecking investors that invested in rice Mills. Meanwhile, items that we do not produce like cars are banned with high custom duties and taxes placed on them.

Same broken record sound all the time.
It's always the current president that's the worst in history to you guys, that's why you never see the big picture. When was Nigeria ever on the verge of attaining food security? Under Buhari? Jonathan? Obasanjo? To you people the current president is always the worst ever, until the next comes in then this worst ever becomes the better option.

And if it's, what can you do about it?

We have told you people that there are foreigners on standby ready to fund the reelection of president Tinubu. Gambia and Senegal are just 2 of those

The summary of everything is that Nigeria now depends on other countries for food to survive. If l hear giant of Africa again..... l will ..

Never a Supporter of Jagaban....

But opening the market to Rice importation was a step in the right direction...

Bros the price of a bag of Rice before then was Crazy......

The thing went as high as 160k for a 50kg bag...

But today you can buy 50kg bag of Rice for 60k....

Yes our farmers and investors in farm Mills are suffering today but they are in the minority....

Compared to majority of Nigerians that was suffering from high food prices because the minority could do nothing to bring the price down...

So let the minority have their say and the majority is enjoying the Way...

This is a sad story. So Nigeria now depends on other countries for food donations. This is really embarrassing.

Free rice for government officials you mean.

See the type of comments coming from the so called leaders of tomorrow,Former president of Nigeria, late president Mohammadu buhari is right after all. Nigeria youths are not only lazy but they're intellectually lazy too

Dem use rice do Nigerian people?
If e too good why e dey common like bread?


Most things wey common and easy to get nor get much nutrients.

On whether Tinubu is the worst ever is no longer a subject of discuss. It's an established fact. Someone who campaigned on the mantra of corn is now importing both corn and rice and you see no problems with that. Attaining food security should be the goal of any serious government, not capitulating to importation due to the fallout a poorly timed and planned policies.

What caused the prices to skyrocket? Was it not inflation from a poorly planned subsidy removal and naira devaluation? Name one commodity that did not see astronomical rise in price. The solution to that according to you and Tinubu is to further impoverish farmers by turning to importation. How much is a price of fertiliser today? What is Tinubu's policy on agriculture? Does he even have one? If Thailand had embraced importation, they will not be donating rice to Nigeria today. Does Nigeria have any home-grown product it can donate to any country today?

Nigeria... The rice republic of the world

They are terrible. Always seditious, emptily rebellious, bigoted and prejudiced. Only their own is the messiah.

That's a big slap on us. $22,000 ke? One would think it was donated to just a single street.

Nigeria was on the verge of food security under PDP presidents, as evidenced by the World Food Prize award to Jonathan's agric minister, which helped him clinch the AfDB job.

Was their massive food imports during the 16 years of PDP prosperity, peace and stability with cheap fuel, cheap dollars, low debt burden etc

You have described the master strategist in Aso Rock so well, along with others in his Yoruba ACN wing of Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC.

What do you think makes them such a wicked bunch of desperadoes for power, ready to betray even their own parents in their greedy lust

EkoIle1:
It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.

The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.

Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.

Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.

It has become crystal clear, even to the most incurable optimist, that the country is adrift. That the ship of the Nigerian state is rudderless is clearly evident in the consistent and continual attacks ferociously executed by elements often referred to as the insurgents in some northern states of the federation, particularly Borno and Yobe states respectively.

Indeed, no part of the country is immune from the virulent but easy attacks, veritable indices of a failing state. Unfortunately, the tenuous and uncoordinated approach adopted by this government betrays a grossly incompetent disposition which stands at variance with current realities in the country, nay the international community where acts of terrorism are engaged and contained. No Governor of a state in Nigeria is the Chief Security Officer. Putting the blame on the Governors, who have been effectively emasculated, for the abysmal performance of the government at the centre which controls all these security agencies, smacks of ignorance and mischief.

How is using band aid to treat bullet wounds a step in the right direction?

What other goods and/or services exports have we increased to pay for the imported rice

Perhaps the fuel exported from APC's sakamanje refinery announcement below?

The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai.

The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.

The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.

Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.

The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.

The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.

Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.

Sounds like a good opportunity for a boost to the economy. A little investment, and everything's rosy.

Gambia that's not up to OYO or Niger states is going to fund giant of Africa.
