mamaafrik:
do u mean 9k at open market

it is available in the open market. Someone bought 2 bags enroute to Lagos.

chriskosherbal:
okay thanks for that info ...so if that be the case my question is there any form of movement of goods as well as persons in that region or let me say boarder ...pls reply sir.

There's nearly unrestricted movement in the northern brothers. All the goods that are contraband in the the Southern borders are flowing into Nigeria freely from the North.

Well, the video I watched was from the North, they were speaking Hausa and all, each okada was carrying about 5 bags of rice, and there were many of them, the video lasted for about 1 minute. I can't say or think for other borders, I'm talking based on what I watched.

Reptyle:


So you actually think that there is no smuggling going on across the Seme and Idiroko borders

Wow, Ghana owns Nigeria,

Okay.

MillerJnr:


please let's not allow these guys feed us with lies, if northern borders are open Niger republic and Chad presidents won't be begging buhari

omenka:
The number of people that have been making statements trying to blackmail the government into opening the borders goes to show there were alot of criminals benefitting from the smuggling business indeed.

Gani might be one of them.

just listen to yourself you are still talking about smuggling where there is more than 20 custom checking point from border to mile 2 then what is FG paying them for.

Psalmy2cute:

Foreign rice in ss and se?? I laugh at your ignorance ...

surely you meant his Stupidity And Bigotry right?

Buhari shut Nigerian borders with Benin Republic just to teach them lesson all because of DANGOTE. Just one man DANGOTE causing southerners pain. If only people can remember dangotes complaint about the president of Benin Republic. Buhari is suffering the masses at just because of one man.

NAWAO

When he was appointing all his people to this key possitions, una no no abi? My guy in that north say good d enter freely there. We must get sense

Nigerian Christians must depend of the people of Sahel for smuggled rice this Christmas.

kayusely70:
The Northern Borders Are Also Closed

Partially, to deceive gullible people like you

Where are those foolish people saying it is nice for them closing l hope they are leaning

I can guarantee everyone that the northern borderlands are firmly close

Charleys:


Are you saying Aare ona kakanfo (Gani Adams) is a bastard?

Aare ona kakanfo is not yam legged, and he is not from muddy land, so throw jabs with sense.

Did u mind the eediot.....? As big as Dangote is almost 300 of his trucks returning from NIGER were not allow to cross the border for over 2 months now.

Isinweke:

36STATES:
Does anyone still remember the fake rice pyramids of Ogun state government?
The few bags of rice among the bags of sand were smuggled in from Seme.. No single rice farm in Ogun state, nothing like Ofada rice.

Why not
The Internet does not forget

That video and pictures are old but the business of smuggling is still going on in Northern Nigeria

Southern Nigerians will suffer it most because of Christmas,

The Northerners will make much money from them

Oboi are you still living in the past? Who owns authority of tv stations in Nigeria Govt!!! Who close border the same Govt!! Who authorizes a tv news broadcast the same Govt!! Now tell me nobe wetin them want mek you hear you go hear

Afamed:
The Maradi border between Niger and Kastina is under key and lock. I really don't know where this man is getting his information from? I really don't know why these people love playing politics with every decision of the government. The same Niger/ Kastina Maradi border that was shown on Channels TV with heavy security patrol?

Nigeria government need quickly to put in place a Minister or Ministry of Internet/Social Media. Nigeria is usually innovative but in this, it seems we have been slow for it appears others have beaten us to it. The reemit of this Minister of Internet, Ministry of Social Medias or Social Media QUNGO, should be to employ an army of young people dedicated to pushing a United Nigeria Interest point of view online as a counterpoint to those foreign organisations that use something like this to exploit Nigeria’s ethnic lines and influence Nigeria for their benefit whatever those may be. If not, we are bleeped as a Nation, for we won’t be able to build Nigeria into that powerful, self sufficient industrialised Nation of our dreams, especially if the neighbours and their Western masters feel excluded, threatened or left behind.

Lol, Nigeria wants nuclear power to solve energy problem when you cannot even close borders because your neighbouring countries are impacted and resort to manipulating you along ethnic lines. If they feel threatened by your nuclear program, they will resort to manipulating you online and through those in high up places in Nigeria that fight for their interest. They will have you in gridlock by making where to place the stations in Nigeria a matter of Ethnicity. If it is set for the North, it will be because the North wants to bomb the South or something. If in the South, it will be that the North does not want any accidents in their region….

Why not fence it? Israel, US did it

Xlyad:
since you asked for the real situation of things, the truth is that smuggling is still very active in the northern borders. A bag of foreign rice ,for example, went for 9000 naira at Maiduguri as of last week.

but i think is not the same maiduguri that i am currently living you are talking about if it is true connect me with the person that bought @9000 i will buy each bag @15000 if it is truly foreign rice. you people are here telling lies we lived in the north you can hardly find foreign rice in maiduguri in an open market because each day the task force are searching the markets looking for the foreign rice to seize it same goes for yobe and other neighboring states.

Gani seem sick. He's anti people policy.

mrvitalis:

This one thinks border is closed ....come to mile 1 market in pH and see foreign rice being offloaded by Hausa people ( and Igbo's of cause )

South south n south east has been the market for foreign rice not west or north

Lol are you sure you are not dreaming? How much do you think a bag of rice costs in PH?

Do you mind those agents of North vs South politics?

kayusely70:

Do you mind dem? All else has failed, the next trick is ethno-religious blackmail. Cheap blackmail.

Time wasters...
