This is the only thing these criminals have achieved in 3 years

Blue3k2:
Why are these guys in love with making wild statements. I really wonder do they even think before speaking. Why are you guys allowing exporters to bring in rejected rice.

Tyche:
What about those Thailand Rice Mill we collapsed?

seguno2:


Blaming others, you mean

Tyche:
;DWhat about those Thailand Rice Mill we collapsed?

Nigeria's borders are terribly exposed. We are disturbed about Cameroonian and Beninoise borderlines with the nation when the borders we share with Chad and Niger are not well protected.
Mind you, Niger and Chad both share borders with Libya which is currently not stable, leaving Nigeria a dumping ground for light arms and ammunition. Our security crises starts ending with tightly controlled borders.

DonMekino:
Do u ppl know that these ban on certain importations basically work on southern borders....go to northern borders and see them as wide open as the gates of Hades.... It might sound absurd n tribal but that is the simple truth.

Speaking at a briefing in Lagos, weekend, where he paraded the administration’s successes in agriculture, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said six million more Nigerians had started rice farming since the advent of Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

khalhokage:
Our rice production has increased so much that it collapsed Thailand's rice market but Benin republic and Cameroon production is sabotaging our local rice?

I'm confused oga Lie Mohammed.

nokingasgod:
It pains me to realise at the long run that rechristening this man as "Lie" is not apt. Something worst than that would have been more appropriate.

What he said further confirms that there is no coordination in this government. It is a government in disarray with the functionaries doing their things on solo levels.

one would have expected a minister of information to have consulted with his colleagues in the ministries of agriculture, finance, foreign affairs etc before coming to the public to make wild and embarassing statements.

If the government is genuinely committed to the rice revolution, there should have been diplomatic talks and agreements with our neighbours for support by patronising our rice.

The NCS should have been better equipped and mobilised to checkmate smuggling.

But no, it seems this minister is the Mrknowitall of this government, he can dabble into the affairs of any ministry, spew rubbishes, display ignorance and the presidency or at least his principal will egg him on.

The main gist in this statement is the bit that he is planning a media campaign to encourage consumption of locally grown rice. So, another money laundering venture is in the offing. I hope that one day the man would be questionned about the effectiveness of these media campaigns he executed in the last few years. How much were the budget, how were they spent and to what effect.

Na one day go be one day o!
