THE ONLY GOOD THING THAT CAME OUT OF THIS GOVT WAS BORDER CLOSURE

NwaNimo1:
Make dem freeze am na?

Or make stew and freeze am?

Or 'cann' it for export to another market.

Or chop am!

Please let it not go to waste.

Sunday Rice.......R.I.P!

How many them wan chop? These people no look like people wey fit freeze anything. It's just a pity for both countries. Nigeria is trying to make unprecedented sacrifice towards self-sustenance. We just hope it will pay off at the end of the day. God, let us not suffer in vain. Amen!

Poor folks. They're so dependent on us that they don't even know what to do with their excess tomatoes.

This is so sad, extremely bad, President Talon of Benin should find a way to appease Buhari and bring an end to this endless suffering of his people.

lalasticlala

at the expense of ur economy??

ORIENTATION101:
No amount of emotional blackmail will make Nigeria open the border.
Benin should diversify their economy if they can't get it right .only land border re closed. They can export by air or water legitimately.

Niger state + jigawa+ kwara + plateau all together re bigger than benin republic.

It is better to enrich our local farmer selling 50kg rice 20k than buying cheaply from foreigners and killing our own farmers effort.


The way some nigerians cry of bag rice you will think they buy bag of rice everyday or their families consume bag of rice everyday.

An average Nigerian family cannot finish 1bag of rice in 1 month

Don’t mind the leeches.

End of Jobs for some people

ORIENTATION101:
the local farmers and manufacturers of local rice re gaining.. they re getting patronage and they re smiling to the bank.
Customs made 300b within 2 months it is part of border closure effect.


Nigeria petrol consumption drop by 8millions litres meaning we re saving subsidy funds on 8millions litres.and more than enough petrol to go round

Many nigerians and stakeholders re now actively participating in rice cultivation which we improve self sufficiency in near future

good analysis , but for example am a Nigerian worker , I normally buy local rice for example 5000 now am buying it 10000, is government gaining from citizens for paying higher for local commodities ?

just wan understand this

Wrong move sir, We shouldn't be importing tomatoes. We should be exporters instead. You should be saying NO to imported goods that we can produce here.

Kwamecron:
Make dem eat am by themself naa





SAbi them ppl no dey stew nii

Mumu don't u know Canada exports Goods to Us, it happens where stack illitrate leading country.

I have kuku decided to stop eating rice till further notice. Na bread and beans, eba, amala, etc I dey chop now.

If they want to sell to Nigeria indiscriminately, they should become a Nigerian protectorate.

We can't lose at both ends.

pickatyou:
I thought you wanted to show us a street littered with tomatoes, and you are showing us this. If them no fit export am let them use it abi na everybody for Benin get tomato

I don't know oo XD

It’s just a matter of time. Once the patronage for local rice becomes encouraging , lots of people will go into rice farming and that will subsequently drive the price down accordingly.

All these are what our politicians are eating right now but forbidden for the masses...

I owe you a bottle of cold ………… (fill in your choice)

With our population, vast and fertile land mass, if we can't feed ourselves, let's go hungry.

I support the government on this policy, 100.00%

Authortee:
This is pathetic so we don’t even plant our own tomatoes? Tomatoes that is naturally growing in my backyard and we are importing this from Benin and some dummies are shouting that the border should be opened?
Let’s be reminded that in 1953 Jawalalu Nehru, then president of India ordered that the borders should be closed. The people asked him what why they wear or eat or drive?
He asked them to starve and walk naked. He said how can a country have about 300,000,000 then and not be able to feed itself or provide even its own entertainment. Look at India today?
Buhari should seal that border tight until we can provide our own food. We can’t just be totally big for nothing

the tomatoes we buy at our local markets are produced by hausas....these illegal tomatoes from Benin floods our local market thereby stalling local production.most hausas produce tomatoes in excess and their produce gets rottened and wasted as imported tomatoes penetrate Nigerian markets more

now I understand , thank u sir


ahhh rich people get foresight ooo

no wonder all of them rush into rice farming , knowing in time about the border closure coming


ahhh

olaboy33:
It takes a stubborn person with the right mission,vision and road map to lead Nigeria out of its troubles.

Buhari may be stubborn and have a mission, he clearly doesn't know what a road map is.

By the way, why should we be allowing tomato imports in Nigeria when our own produce is sufficient for us.

oh oh oh my people die becos og common knowledge , pls we don't have it enough.

Esseite:
If rice is expensive, switch to maize, millet, beans, etc

Belle no know food..

How did you read my mind? This morning I was thinking of living without rice.

I guess it's farmers time to make money now.. it's good for them...buy they should sha go easy on the billing

Exactly. Then we tax them accordingly.
