Lies as usual!!! There's famine in the land!!!

Can you answer me this simple question, maize is up to 20 million tonnes right Then why sell for N9000 as against the imported N5000 per bag

Does it make sense to you I mean if manpower, resources and what have you is source locally, why the increase

N9000, with multiple taxes, N30,000 minimum wage

All these policies is only affecting the masses!!!

By the time Buhari is through with Nigeria, Abacha will be a child's play!!!

Beremx:
The price of a bag of rice is going to hit 50k by December. The idea of Nigeria producing rice is like the Army defeating Boko Haram. All na propaganda.

Buhari should as a matter of urgency open the borders if they cannot provide alternative to curb the high cost of rice.

Nonsense!!

Dreal1247:
But this is wickedness. They should have sensitized the people before the closure. Some people's business has been paralyzed through the closure.

sarrki:


So armed robbers should also tell there victims before hand

I hope Buhari is eating that stone rice

Which arm robbers, what's the job of hameed Ali or the custom

People collected loans, some used their life savings and you just closed the border just like that

Admit, he made a mistake, you will not die!!!

sarrki:


You must sit down to properly learn and be grounded before thinking of standing to teach or perform with impact.

Beremx:
Abeg go siddon!! As if the high cost of rice is not affecting you.

Nonsense and border closing.

Give me a name i am ready to buy a stone free Nigeria rice anytime any day.. The ones i havd been buying are full of stones as if ther are from ajaokuta

sarrki:


If I have never interrupted your perpetual misery about Nigeria, don't resent me for my unending hope. Your right, my right.

Daviddson:
It's unfortunate the price escalation this land border closure has brought, but sorry what do you mean by stone rice? A lot of Nigerians are very illiterate when it comes to Nigerian rice. They don't know that the only stony rice are those not milled by machines. Go to the market and see different Nigerian-made rice - 50KG bagged and totally stone-free like every other foreign rice.

I thought that this border closure is against ECOWAS rule,I thought that in ecowas member countries there is free movement of goods and services within the member states.

So they have been deceiving theirselves all this while in ECOWAS.

Beremx:
if demanding for the most staple food in Nigeria to be readily available to the common man is not seeing any good in Nigeria, so be it. I won't stand with Sarrki as a suffering and smiling agent.

Beremx:
but why should there still be stony rice in this 21st century? We can tolerate stones in beans because it can easily be picked out, but rice? Haba!! I love Nigerian rice, but when it is not readily available and too expensive nko?
