hungryboy:
you wan ban rice importation when our local farmers never get enough rice to meet demand, which will only lead to one thing, making rice more expensive and unaffordable for people like me. When dis man go get sense?

Yyeske:
Some people will still hate Buhari even after this good gesture, tell them to go into farming now, they will be forming.
Sit down there while local rice farmers are getting richer by the day though you are free to come on nairaland and blame the president for your life miseries as usual.

EternalTruths:


Why did Buhari not give thousands of graduates YOUWIN empowerment loan to help them reduce price of food through local production & processing.


If your useless Buhari had sense, he would spent 200billion naira last year to empower 20,000 graduates through YOUWIN and ensure that 2000 are rice agricultural based.

Minemrys:

see this one. Rice wey farmers they find people to buy? If u can't afford rice from farmers, farm it yourself. Our ec0n0my needs to be diversified apart fr0m agric and fuel. It must be d0ne by force cos Nigerians in general are lazy and want quick cash. We ought to ban importati0n of things we can produce here. You guys want a developed and working country yet u expect the country to keep depending on others for survival things it can produce. I won't criticize Buhari for this even if i don't like him.

EternalTruths:



[s]The price of food & rice will increase until people like you who voted for Buhari and still insist that Nigeria remains one despite the rejection of Restructuring, start asking yourselves what actually influenced you guys to root for Buhari.[/s]

This government seems clueless, encouraging entrepreneurship good, but where are the incentives from government, which bank will give the youths loan except they are the dangote's of this world. No economic blueprint from this government but just lies.

[s]You are part of the keyboard people deceiving Buhari as said by Wole Soyinka.

Tomorrow, you will still defend the stupid decisions of the government.[/s]

EternalTruths:


illiterates are so much online

Steps to reduce importation


1) Set up silos in every local government.

2) Through YOUWIN, ensure that in every local government, rice is cultivated

3) After harvest, process and store all the rice in the silos.

4) Based on the quantity produced, increase tariff on imported rice if the quantity produced is not 120% of the demand.

5) if the quantity produced is 120% of the usual demand, ban importation completely and make rice available at every LGA for sale.

banning things you cant even produce.


What a zoo.

The year already bringing funny stories.

Minemrys:

now, i am guessing in your mind you are thinking am a hausa fulani, nah am n0t. I just want to clear your doubts first. And, am n0t an illiterate, n0t that i care what you think. Buhari's m0tive of banning importati0n of rice is n0ble, however its the road to accomplishing that, that is the problem. And thats where a guy like you, an erudite, a brilliant literate should bring his criticisms from, n0t tribal sentiments or separatist notion. God! These biafrans are so full of it. I wish the country can be divided already. Living with damn hausas, fulanis, igbos is heartbreaking en0ugh. I'd take Yoruba any day in substitute of abokis and nyamiris.

Blue3k2:


Online gossip are u saying that he didn't make that statement? Lol stop your ludicrous behavior. You already were provided with stats showing rice imports didn't drop 90% and is set to rise. You just want to drink kooliade another year.

EternalTruths:



[s]Lol

Afonjas claiming Akwa Ibom

Till this hour, you have never championed the establishment of Ibaka seaport as made known to your cursed brother OBJ when Tincan and Ibaka were proposed to him in 1977.

I wonder why a so called Akwa Ibom person will never champion such project

At last, I remember that Afonjas pretend to be SS in order to scuttle the establishment of Ibaka seaport.


You will enjoy the dividends of Buhari's government be it good or bad since Buhari is your hero & god.


Your pain never start.[/s]
