Hope you know that he used beans water to illustrate how 'dirty' local rice is?

Don't look like a fool simply because you want to support an idiot.

Like someone said hypocrisy is a Nigerian. When it favours them they hail you but when it's against them the wail.

Emotions is different from reality.

Emotionally Nigerians are angry while in reality the young man cannot eat the rice. SMH

You have the right to complain when you receive services that falls below your expectation or fails to measure up with your expenditure, it is more painful if your income is from a honest pursuit. His generalization of the whole thing may suck but he reserves the right to his view, opinion, preferences and whatever that disgust him; we should give people the space to relieve their painful experiences without unnecessary attack!
Who can afford to board a plane with glaring mechanical defect, we want them in a perfect condition. He paid his due as an investigative journalist, all he's asking for is why this culture of mediocrity among Nigeria rice farmers in comparison with their foreign counterpart, why will they sell chaffs to people and expect them to pay the price of a wheat, worse still they are sold at a very exorbitant prices. Why will a shoddy, unprocessed or under-processed rice find their way into the market especially when we are already gagged into patronizing locally made stuffs, they shouldn't just prioritize making excessive profit and smiling to the bank while delivering and pushing killer rice into the market. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other affiliate agencies should be alive to their responsibility of safeguarding a healthy Nation.

I've been eating local rice (or at least they claim it is). It's been fine. Better than the Asian rice that sits in a warehouse for two years before arriving in Nigeria.
Exactly .

They closed the border to financially strangle the South.

And to speed up the pain, they started burning markets.
That way you cant replenish ur lost stock.

Onitsha market burnt.
Then Ughelli Market burnt about 10 days ago.
Yesterday Balogun Market burnt.

Now remember the Army wanted to use Operation Positive Identification as an excuse to put soldiers on the streets in the South.

Also during the civil war Nigeria closed the Border to starve Biafra to death.

Look at how they closed the Border that they won't close to stop foriegn Fulanis coming into Nigeria, you can see that this border closure is to harm the South.

I sincerely agree with you. Killing the messenger but they can't kill the messages. Is our Rice not dirty and stony?

Bad enough, many are not tasty better. Nigeria needs to get something at least, right .
Re: Fisayo Soyombo's Nigerian Local Rice Tweet: Nigerians Blast Him by DJInfluence: 5:40pm On Nov 06, 2019
I am shocked to the marrow at those saying there are better rice out there. OFC there will be better quality rice but the worst quality of rice we have should be good enough for consumption and the rice on his feed is not.

How will the politicians or govt agencies do the needful, when all people could say is, there are better rice out there? rather than praise this guy for bringing this to the fore. We are really curse with mediocrity like he said.

zombie - why must the rice be dirty in the first place, are we supposed to have stony rice in the market? i ate one recently i had to go outside so i can be disposing the stones easily, i couldnt continue with the food , i had to stop angrily
instead of u to call govt and its agencies to be alive to their responsibilities u are here attacking the messenger

dont point any good local rice rice to me, or who are u people reserving the stony ones for, is it not the same nigerians that will eat it
dont we deserve good things?
nigerians are the only people in the whole wide world that prays and supports their oppressors
the oppressed in nigeria are very good in digging out excuses for any wrong doings of the govt

EBMedia:
IgbereTV reports that Nigerians has lambasted a Nigerian journalist known as Fisayo Soyombo over his comment on Twitter, condemning the poor quality of local rice produced in Nigeria.

Fisayo Soyombo is an investigative journalist, a former editor of The Cable and a contributor to Aljazeera who got the praise of Nigerians after writing a report uncovering the corruption in the Nigeria's criminal Justice system.

He spent two weeks in detention — five days in a Police cell and eight as an inmate in Ikoyi Prison — to track corruption in Nigeria’s criminal justice system, after he feigned to commit an offence for which he was arrested by the Nigeria Police.

Many Nigerians are after him on Twitter after condemning Nigeria local rice.

He posted:

Just because we closed our borders for a few weeks, see the kind of nonsense rice we've flooded our markets with. This one even felt like sandy soil the moment I turned it into water. Is this honestly the best we can do as a people? Who cursed us with mediocrity so wickedly?

You are trying hard to sound very foolish.
As with all goods all over the world, there are different grades/qualities for their different prices.
I've been cooking only local rice since 19yrs ago I started living on my own and I've never met stone.Just few chaff that you can decant with water while washing d rice.
Dude probably bought from those who sourced from the local clusters where they have only the crudest milling machine and no destoning machine.
Do u know dat i personally have eaten a rice dat tastes like sand or cement 3 times. Pls we need to stop killing de messenger. I can afford any quality of rice i want to eat. My advice is simply we need to upgrade de quality of de rice we eat and also let all diz agencies do dere job so dat de can save lives

So the poor quality rice is meant for who to buy? And those that buy it deserve not to complain if it is poorly processed?
