Pls voices of reason should start clarifying issues because there are so many dunces online. Importation of rice was only banned across land borders because of some reasons 1) it was used to short change the FGN 2)it was used to smuggle in firearms and illicit drugs. One may wonder where boko haram and the rest of the terror groups were getting their weapons. The land border was used for the proliferation of small and light weapons in Nigeria. Also it fueled the illicit drug market. 3.this apparent shortage will FORCE us as a nation to produce what we eat. The Asian Tigers and Western nations have for long via their farm subsidy policy help under developed African by allowing us to import cheap rice and other food items that we could have grown locally. Before now eating rice was luxury and we did not die. Buharis is the only president that has shown the political will to develop this nation so far.

This is what we keep telling the igbos and the SS people who keep saying the north has no economic importance in nigeria. If they cut off the food supplies and everyone dies of hunger, of what benefit will the oil in Niger Delta Be? Will you drink oil? Remember the Igbos lost the biafra war due to the brilliant starvation policy of Awolowo. ojukwu had to run to ivory coast when it's obvious he has lost the war and his people were dying of hunger. This is why we say no to the evil terrorist Nnamdi kanu and his recent biafra agitations cos no one wants a repeat of what happened in the late 60's. Every region in Nigeria is important economically except the southeast due to their limited resources and erosion ravaged lands. God bless Nigeria, Say no to Biafra. sad

Am not here to make boast. What the SE achieved in abt 50 yrs after fighting war, the Yoruba and Fulani combined cannot achieve in their life time after a major war. Of all the indigenous companies in the SW both large nd medium scales, the SE has the largest proportion relative to other regions, go to CAC if u doubt this. The SE drives the non oil economy, take it or leave. The chances u will not be born into a slumb for every 1000 births is greater in the SE relative to others. SE is the only region developed without federal help and the region boasts of the largest number of millionaires. Ur hatred will never stop the sun from rising. What you think is infinitesimal to our collective resolve. We are the Sons of Heaven, We descend from the Heaven and We have the Mandate of Heaven.
chest beating as usual. what have you achieved in the south east that southwest hasn't achieved and more.
you said SE was developed without federal help, so what was the three R's of the gowon administration meant for? Infact the project was funded via agriculture related income, in particular cocoa.
tell me one prominent industry own by a Ibo man in the SW.
you are also a pathetic liar, coz dangote a Fulani man contributes the largest indegenious GDP to the nation's economy outside oil and gas.
check Forbes list again, the top five richest men in Nigeria are from the two regions you speak stvpidly about. the richest black man and woman are also from their clan.
dangote the world knows
otedola the world knows
Mike adenuga the world knows
rabiu the owner of BUA group the world knows
folorumsho alakija the world knows
oba otudeko the world knows
even baba ijebu (premier lotto ) the world know.
tell me the miloionaires you so much boast of from your erosive region.
you claim not to have federal developments but weep daily for a second Niger bridge.
your families from the village throw up a party at the chance of their child coming to the southwest.
we deported you guys back to your erosive land, but you came back begging claiming one Nigeria.
Forbes recently conducted a survey on new Africa millionaires and four out of ten in the whole of Africa had to come from sw.
the global world doesn't take you guys serious, coz you are only good in the production of sub standard products and repackaging of expired goods, this is also coupled with your daily trial across The globe over drug trafficking related issues.
even your own state government can't patronise that cheap moving metal you call innoson whatever.
stop being silly, you can chest beat for the fulanis, but don't in anyway come close to the Yorubas. we miles apart.

Agbaya is the word coming to mind when i hear this description of Nigeria the economic giant. Giant for what .
Tiny litle Benin republic who begs Nigeria like a child, can grow rice to so much excess that it is cheap and abundant for export without breaking their own domestic pantry.
Small Benin republic can supply electricity and tap water to it's citizens in the cities and more.

How is Nigeria The Giant of Africa unless as the shameless Agbaiya who is big for nothing.

Grow up and grow your own rice well and the many other things needed. Nigeria has huge potential but its not by standing around tall for showing off how big you are without bending low into the dirt and bringing up some crops and sufficient productivity for domestic needs. Niara will never be a strong currency if the people dont use their strength for domestic productivity and stop relying on the strength of other countries to import into Nigeria. Na baby cannot feed himself waiting for mama or baba to come and feed him. Baby is no giant of africa, it is agbaiya of africa.

Benin Republic imports a lot of rice. That rice is then smuggled into Nigeria.

Smuggling goods into Nigeria is why a lot of goods are imported into Benin Republic.

They don't grow much either. Most farming there is subsistence in nature.

I was checking to see where it was written that the south south and the south East are starving because the North refuse to supply their agricultural produce to them, but alas it is the same acclaimed Nigerian food bank that is crying wolf.

If the South-East is economically useless (as you claim) then why would you not want Biafra so that they can go their own way and stop being 'parasites'?

Better still, if the North can take care of itself why do they not go their own way?

Ah ok, i was not so sure where all their rice comes from but i know they have good prices and grow a significant amount to keep themselves filled as well as manage a market flow of surplus (be it import or local). They do really well in Agriculture for their size and stature in Africa, no doubt about that. The Key is that they "do it" . Nigeria as well should just "do it" beyond talk. Grow more crops. Populatin is growing but crops are not. Not a good recipe for people's kitchens.

They don't grow more than Nigeria proportionally. If anything it's less.

What they've done is lower tariffs so that it's cheaper to import into Cotonou than Lagos.

Also, a lot of Nigerians are there hoarding rice to sell when the prices are high across the border.

At times, I wonder if this Buhari government remembered how those that voted him into power stood under the sun,the rain even till midnight to cast their loyal vote for him to get things right as expected.

Today,common food for them to eat, fuel to travel, work to do,e.t.c is nowhere to be found and the same President is on leave after instructing that no Nigerian politicians or civil servants of any level should travel abroad to buy paracetamol talkless going for medical treatment.

Mr. President,I advise you to call upon the past leaders most especially immediate past President in the person of Goodluck Jonathan to make him your prime minister or whatever position to can think out now to direct you on how our GDP increased and things was better off.

A word is enough for the wise as I know you are a listening leader.

God keep and bless you with solomonic wisdom...

They have a small population but a significant agric and international commerce level for their size.
I was on the remote border there last year and saw all the games going on with customs and rice transporters. Even my hired car driver was carrying rice across the border in the minimal amount allowed as he crosses the border with passengers several times daily and the small amount of rice eventually adds up to a full sack. He told us about the games and how there is a cartel style group there on the rice smuggling trail who work with customs in secret and do price gouging antics like hoarding. basic Things were so much cheaper in Benin but they dont have so much a population to pressure their domestic markets. And their potential for earnings are not very high. Fuel problems there also but they always seem to have fuel selling by the road side in bottles. No real shortages like Nigeria fuel crisis, they always find a way.
I was in Togo also and saw their extensive port activities with ships lined up at sea as far as the eye could see, waiting for days to unload at port.
Its was strange to see such a small town atmosphere in Lome and Benin, yet their ports were busy beyond belief. And to think all that from togo and benin ports combined was servicing Nigeria demand and still scarcity is an issue in Nigeria. shocked

I know you are autistic, going by your face. Nevertheless, one would expect you to be reasonable sometimes. What has the post got to do with any region? Did the post in any way suggest that the North feeds the nation? Why are you so full of evil thoughts? What did the SE people do to you and your likes?

If SE is eroded and they have nothing to offer Nigeria, why are you still saying NO to their demand? Let them go then.
