Why not $150b. Rubbish

Bossontop:

I no jus understand d way government go dey call all dese fat fat money as income or revenue yet if you look the state of infrastructure, cost of living, salaries for dis country e no even look like say we dey make even 5 naira........either dem dey chop am or all dese figures na jus lie lie........bit wetin i even know seff

You killed it!

Blame the incompetent governor for all that's happening in Benue. If Fulani herdsmen did not stop kebbi state from marching forward in agriculture why is Benue retrogressing even though there more herdsmen in kebbi?

and they ll still run to abuja for monthly oil money

Kebbi, Kebbi, Kebbi

₦150 billion from rice in 2017

₦151.2 billion state budget for 2018

Looks like the entire state expenditure this year is financed from rice, eh?

These rice sale figures na wa o! Something does not add up.

that is to say that kebbi IGR will over take that of lagos and rivers in just a twinkle

mrvitalis:
The state not the state government... What it means is that people in the state became richer by 150bn buy farming and selling rice alone.... Hope you get now

This is the first paragraph of the article. Read it again

The Kebbi State government last year earned about N150 billion from the sale of its locally cultivated rice, the Governor, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, has said.

Why is the imported rice is still expensive. Even the local Rice is not cheap just mussing

kolaaderin:
You dont need to respond to every illiterate that comes online with silly questions, all they are looking for is how the state lost 10 naira due to gboko haram and Fulani terrorist menace so that can rant and shout BUHARI must go back to Duara.

There is no stone in the one Lagos and kebbi produce. If we don't buy naija. How are we going to grow. Countries like China, Japan, South and North Korea etc believe in themselves.
But it is like dem use foreign things swear for this country

My brother, I know what I'm saying. How can I buy local rice for 450 and eat stones while I can buy foreign for 500 without hitting a stone. Check it out now. I buy and Cook not in the restaurant mind you

but this lies will not stop your mumu Buhari from going back to daura

Why can't you start it... Did American government start facebook, twitter or even google?

Don't tell me government should provide the environment... As a business man you should work with your condition.... India didnt also have power when they entered the tech world

Inventions didn't just occur in those countries just like that.For instance,American government has special grant which inventors can access,some Nigerians have invented quite a number of things such as electric triycle,pounding machine,alternative means to conventional power gernation and so on but how many of them secured state or federal government supports?If you take a look at annual budget in education how much is earmarked for R & D?India might have broken into technological world even with zero power generation but how did she get there,was it without government support or impetus?Without taking you far,is the increase in rice production in Nigeria today,supported by government or not?

Why does this sound like a big fat lie??

It sound like it cos the feat is not achieved by Igbo. That is how pathetic your tribe is, now let me hear you claim you are Sudanese.

Sharmeenator:
Did I just read that Kebbi state has a population of about 15million people and it shares border with Benin and Niger Republics?
Op please check your facts.

yes it does, I'm a serving corp member there and I can authoritative confirm about the boarders but the money I dunno. It can be true

Yes I understand. That's why government need to critically look into agriculture. Most of our farmers lack adequate funds. Most things are done manually.

Printerscanner:
Because you and your generation are lovers of bad news.

if you know the kind of positive impact 150billions will create in kebbi ,then you will know that it's all lies.

Just start and seek for support... No body would support you if you don't start

You would have preferred it if its from akwa ibom

Now on same page, we'll continue advising them. They are just too myopic and disorganised.

Easier said than done. Government has big role to play no matter how you look at it. Do you even know what it takes to get just one hectare of land for farming in Nigeria?
May be you should tell us a little about your india

i do not understand the business akwa ibom has in my comment.but whatever that means to you,we will continue to appreciate good things wherever it's happen and have doubts when it's look like lies

This man, you're irritating. You didn't know anything. May be you are one of those people with theory but lacking in practical. Sweet mouthing doesn't get the job done.

Cos “who nor go, nor knw”. I stay in Kebbi, nd its sooo true.Rice business is the tin here nw. I knw alot of bankers, doctors, lawyers and jst name it who have resorted into the business. Infact its like the “yahoo yahoo” now in this state

I worked in a couple of villages in the state. They got population oo! For the borders, ve bn to a border market with Niger rep, and its abt 1hr drive from my house. I dnt knw of Benin rep cos i havent asked. Buh its possible

Boyooosa:

I started a rice farm and the cbn was supportive to a point I can't believe....

My pure water factory I can get access to loan if I wish... No body give you loan to start a business when you have... I'm telling what I have experienced

Bro it takes less than 15k a year and it's easy in the north and south west ....i rented 5 hectares for rice farm in kwara

Where on earth will Kebbi have a population of 15m even when Lagos claim of 20m is still suspect. So the northern migrating to south, none is from Kebbi. Also state warning a revenue of almost their annual budget should mean good news to the state but I don't trust government. This election time and politicians will say just about anything.
True, they are earning from rice but not see much the figures been brandied here.

Well, you may just be comparing apples with oranges.

It may make more sense to buy the local rice for #450 instead of the foreign one @500 if you consider that:

1. Some of the foreign rice have been stored for close to 10 years and have preservatives which may be injurious to your health.

2. The value chain of the local rice provides ample opportunity for employment for Nigerians who could be your friends and/or relatives therefore reducing their financial dependence on you.

Op is Correct.

You are the one to check the facts.

Kebbi shares border with some parts of Niger republic and Benin

Lol! Nigerians with fabricated theories.
Anyway, I have been eating foreign rice for the past 30 years now and I have not died.
For the GDP, the leaders ought to be urged to meet up with what their counterparts are doing at the other side; with that devt., it shows we are slower than a slug. Countries are patenting robot Walker, we are celebrating rice that is not well refined, circulated and marketed. Still, the bragging governor is still a role model for a demolishing governor and his cohorts.
Do u feel what I'm seeing.
