Hameed Ali: Imported Rice Is Poisonous - Customs Boss by CeeJay9ja(m): 5:36pm On May 16, 2019 |
The Comptroller-General, Nigeria Custom Service, Col. Hameed Ali(rtd) at a news conference organised by the Ministry of Finance in Abuja on Thursday appealed to Nigerians to avoid eating foreign rice because it is poisonous. He further declared that the Federal Government had not issued licence for importation of rice and that any rice seen on the streets that was not produced in Nigeria was smuggled. He explained that the reason imported rice is poisonous is because before it comes into the country, it must have spent a minimum of five years in the silos. " A chemical must have been added to sustain its freshness and that chemical is harmful. It has been re-bagged with a new date given as the production and expiry dates, and that is what we consume here which causes diseases. So, I appeal to Nigerians to please patronise our own rice, it is available, more nutritious and if you do that you will assist Customs by making sure these people are put out of business", he said He added that if Nigerians stop buying the imported rice, smugglers will go out of business and there will be no need to bring it in. https://exposeitworld..com/2019/05/imported-rice-is-poisonous-custom-boss.html

Coming from the Customs boss, it is obviously a strategy to make his job easier by discouraging demand for imported rice. 6 Likes |

These rice is still coming in at a massive rate. From Abeokuta to Ijebu-ode axis, the smugglers are crazy numerous. They settle the custom officers and have thorough fare. 1 Like 1 Share |

My ISSUE now is what does he know..?? Does he know much about what he said..? A RETIRED ARMY COLONEL now heading CUSTOM simply shows that the ARMY are already done with you, sir and they never saw any reasons to extend your stay or whatsoever, which clearly shows you have nothing else to offer... Now if you have nothing else to offer then, how well do you think you can improve this section when you clearly lack the operational tenets of the custom ab initio and you are already retired...? Why HEAD such a DEMANDING UNIT of the Nigerian State...?? 10 Likes 1 Share |

The Customs boss will not point a finger to the many wives and girlfriends of Customs officers and even fellow officers that sell rice and other contraband goods that they forcefully obtain from so-called smugglers. Idiotic raggamuffin! 6 Likes |

mcjohny:I have eaten locally produced rice. Infact, since December, I fell in love with local rice when I got a gift of Big Bull(a locally produced rice) from a relative. It's not only sweeter, it lasts long in the pot. When the bag got finished, I bought another Big Bull bag of rice. When it finished, I bought another bag that we are cooking now. Bye bye to foreign rice, welcome to local rice. 15 Likes 1 Share
