i wanted to reply that guy you qouted but i could already tell that he reasons through his anus. You just told him the best way buhari could have handled this. Increase tax on imported rice.
Buhari has vowed to punish nigerians and the zombies are included. Just imagine that guy happy that he bought rice for 17k. Nonsense.

fyneguy:
A bag of Cotonou rice is 21k


A bag of Naija rice is N17k


The borders should remain closed!

Nigerians are funny people. You want development but want to keep supporting the economies of neighbouring countries, who keep dumping substandard products in Nigeria, through smuggling, at the expense of local production, our economy, and health.

This should be sustained. Nigerian farmers, traders and consumers are eventual beneficiaries.

Barryseal:
Foreign rice is substandard? In the international market can Nigerian Rice square up to Thailand Rice?

izombie:
we all know buhari does not understand anything about economics but the whole that no one from the whole presidency pointed this out is more worrisome.

Charleys:

It seems Nigerians don't know what they want.

They want development without suffering any consequences.

It's only in Nigeria that someone would want to eat his cake and have it.

So many countries keep dumping cheap substandard products on our country.

Benin with a population of 16 million is now the second largest importer of rice in the world.

Who are those eating the rice in Benin?

Benin republic deliberately sponsor criminals and smugglers to undermine our country for the purpose of sustaining its own economy.

jkendy:
They must, I mean MUST make sure the price gets to 50k before the end of September. We must all enjoy this ride together while we eat that local rice mixed with stones and gravels which Hameed Ali himself doesn't know how it taste

madenigga:
Must you insult anything Nigerian?

jkendy:
eat that local rice mixed with stones and gravels

Jimi24:
Thank God for Buhari. PDP just wasted Nigerias youths. Come and see asinine comments.

The borders will remain closed. If you cannot take a position in rice through crowd funding or farming or even trading in it, you will lose. Meanwhile northern youths will smile to the bank.
You want government to allow smuggling (an illegality) so that you can eat rice. You actually have to be questioning the educational system that brought you up and should not be surprised that US and SA are throwing your generation of Nigerians out if their country.
I have said it many times that this young generation are not viable. They are lazy, dont have strength and can only be"boys"

Area4Area:
And about 80% of that rice is destined for the Nigerian market, that is after importers pay duties to the Benin republic government and some people are still angry because of this good move by the FG

ChristianEast:
You no know nothing, Jon Snow.

You bloody socialists are the reason this country can never develop.

No country has ever attained true development through protectionism.

A bag of locally produced rice is 17k and you are celebrating while foreign rice was 8k when GEJ left.

Closing border will not solve anything. People will smuggle the rice and make it more expensive.

Progressive nations use taxes to discourage consumption but our dead wood president thinks is by closing border.

madenigga:
This is an insult

Not, it's fact. Ever heard/eaten Gwari Rice I write out of experience bro

capitalzero:
Thank you ma. Porous borders can be closed if for security reason. But rice should be allowed to be imported the country through designated borders and importers and distributors should be licenced. However, import tarrif should be high enough to discourage importation and encourage local production. I stand with liberal economy not protectionism

kettle84:
what joy does this sadistic old man derive from punishing Nigerians since 1984. The painful part of it is that he has millions of "suffering and smiling " fools as supporters.

You are the senseless one here. Rice through the ports, already attracts high taxes. The ones coming through the borders were 100% smuggled rice. Let me alsoi inform your ignorant self that some govts of rice producing countries, especially Thailand and Pakistan, at times subsidize rice exportation to Nigeria, regardless of our tax to combat local production. I am telling you what I know firsthand. They don't want our rice mills to take off. Their rice mills depend largely on Nigerian market. Hence, the govt-backed sabotage moves. Nigerians should stop being ignorant. Countries are waging economic wars against us.

India, 2 years ago, gave funds to Olam to build a big poultry in Kaduna, to deceive Buhari, just to allow influx of their corn. They flooded our market with the same corn they claimed would be used as feedstock for the fake poultry.

Enough said.

You people still don't understand a thing about Buhari.
It's not age that is the problem or any latter acquired sadistic tendency.
The main issue is that Buhari has never had the capacity,brain wise to manage anything or think out ideas.
He is like a man with an inborn brain defect or rare disease process such that anytime he tries to use his brain to think out or understand something,he starts having this excruciating headache that affects his whole body system.
So what does such an individual do?He avoids tasking his brain,no matter how little the issue.
The only thing people like that can bear in terms of brain trauma arising out of attempt to analyze things,is religious and ethnic bigotry because they don't need to think out what to do in such cases:just defend your religion and tribe,at whatever cost.
Is not age that is his problem,but bigotry and inborn intellectual deficit.
