Do you think buhari and hammed Ali eats local rice??

Bros, I've not cooked foreign rice in my house for over 2yrs now

Eating local rice is not as a result of poverty, it's actually more expensive in some places.
So it's possible that PMB eats local rice

solmusdesigns:
Buhari can open borders and make everything cheap.. people would hail him, and call him the boss, however more farmers would sink into poverty or turn kidnapers

the administration hasn't even tackled Security alone and the policy na still go and come. Even abuja that is close to the seat of power is not even safe not to talk about farmers.abeg make i nor talk much.....

EggSauce:
Nigeria farmers are wicked and heartless and this border closure will go immediately buhari Regime is over... How can local rice be 17k for 50kg when rice all the away from Asia costs 7 to 8k for 50kg when there was no ban on rice importation...

I kept wondering why as well, what's the rationale behind the sudden increase in price of local rice? Simply farmers taking advantage of the shock in the market to make more profits that inflicts misery on others. Nigerians are Nigeria's problems

if farmers can sell thier rice and tomatoes for a good price they have no reason to pickup guns and make "abuja or seat of power" insecure

we have other food, but then rice is being produced by people like coscharis that saw the oppurtunity to maximise profit rather tha wail

royalamour:
Very smart move. If their rice finishes, their level of hunger will increase too.

Zoo abi?.

Racoon:
Nigeria yansh will now be more exposed since we are still not self-suffucient in rice production as about 80% or more of our local consumption is from importation.Nigeria is simply back to the 1983-85 era.

this will encourage people to go into farming.

NGpatriot:
I support their decision 100%. Good for Nigeria and Nigerian farmers.

Bad for the Nigerian consumers!

GOOD IDEA

Can farmers produce sufficient food for only state in Nigeria? .

I am aware of all those choices. So I will be punished for my choice. Because I live in a Mob rule.

MrStan11:
Will it affect Forex trade? Lol

Third world countries forming trade war.

It is not trade war.
They're complying with Nigeria.

Nigeria will only open the border if Niger stops importation of illegal rice.

Imported Asian rice is very stale! It has to be cheaper. Our rice is fresh and more nutritious. With higher rate of production, the price will come down.

Niger Republic has banned the exportation of rice to Nigeria following the closure of Nigeria’s borders.

Since August 20, 2019, Nigeria has closed its borders in four geopolitical zones across the country, which include South-South, South-West, North-Central and North-West.

In his address during a joint press briefing in Abuja on Monday, the Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service, Hameed Ali, revealed that Niger Republic recently banned the export of rice to Nigeria as a result of the closure.

He said, “The government, through diplomatic channels will continue to engage our neighbours to agree to comply with ECOWAS Protocol on Transit.

“Goods that are on the prohibition list in Nigeria, such as rice, used clothing, poultry products and vegetable oil should not be exported to the country.

“As a result of this closure, Niger Republic has already circulated an order banning exportation of rice in any form to Nigeria.”

Hopefully Benin Republic is expected to do same as Nigerian farmers now smile to the bank with sales of local rice on the increase and beans with garri farmers smiling along with their tomatoes counterparts

Wait did you intentionally crop out se or are they not affected in the FG ban? Or you're really just trying to be tribalistic

Mcreloaded:


Banning rice exportation from Niger to Nigeria is one of the conditions given by our Nigerian government before border will be reopened.

Either ways even the fools that voted this buffoon for the second time won't be exempted from the hardship too.

I wonder why the three dunc3s that preceded Buhari did not think to do something like this!
