That is not the full picture.
Local rice of the same quality as foreign rice is expensive to produce and
the foreign rice producers have achieved economies of scale.
When Buhari closed border, foreign rice didn't completely disappear,
it just became more costly because of the extra importation cost; bribery,
seizure and others.

My post is about comparison of the price of imported vs foreign rice not general inflation.
The reason the price didn't crash despite foreign influx is inflation.

Your solution is neither feasible nor sustainable. Who should increase availability?
Farmers or government?
Assuming you could magically increase availability and have a rice glut and temporary price crash.
Commercial rice farmers will simply shift to another industry because it will
no longer be profitable for them and the market will readjust itself.

Nobody invest in rice farming to feed people, they do it profit.
Well, there is one other way to reduce price of rice. Local subsidies.

*£1 = ₦1005*
*$1 = ₦897*
*€1 = ₦835*

*ATTENTION*

*In case you don't know the root cause of our problems today, please take time out and read below:*

*As of 25/07/2022, the exchange rates were:*

*£1 = ₦800*
*$1 = ₦670*
*€1 = ₦662*

*42 years ago, precisely on 25/07/1980 the exchange rate was:*
*$1 = 0.80k*

*Are you surprised?*

*Well, we were far more productive in 1980 than we are today.*

*In 1980 the key reasons for economic growth were as follows:*

*1. We were a net exporter of refined petroleum products. Today we import all our refined petroleum products.*

*2. We rode in locally assembled cars, buses and trucks. Peugeot cars in Kaduna and Volkswagen cars in Lagos.*

*3. Leyland produced trucks/buses in Ibadan and ANAMCO in Enugu also produced buses and trucks.*

*4. Steyr in Bauchi produced our Agricultural tractors. And it was not just Assembly, we were producing many of the components:*

*5. Vono products in Lagos produced the vehicle seats.*

*6. Exide in Ibadan produced the batteries, not just for Nigeria but for the entire West Africa.*

*7. IsoGlass and TSG in Ibadan produced the windshields.*

*8. Ferrodo in Ibadan produced the brake pads and discs*

*9. Dunlop produced Tyres in Lagos and Michelin Tyres were produced in Port Harcourt. And I mean tyres produced from rubber plantations located in Ogun, Bendel and Rivers State.*

*10. We were listening to Radio and watching television sets assembled in Ibadan by Sanyo.*

*11. We were using refrigerators, freezers and Airconditioners produced by Thermocool and Debo.*

*12. We were putting on clothes produced from the UNTL Textile Mills in Kaduna and Chellarams in Lagos. They were Not from imported cotton but from cotton grown in Nigeria.*

*13. Our water was running through pipes produced by Kwalipipe in Kano and Duraplast in Lagos .*

*14. Our toilets were fitted with WC produced in Kano and Abeokuta.*

*15 We were cooking with LPG gas stored inside gas cylinders produced at the NGC factory in Ibadan.*

*16. Our electricity was flowing through cables produced by the Nigerian Wire and Cable, Ibadan; NOCACO in Kaduna and Kablemetal in Lagos and Port Harcourt.*

*17. We had Bata and Lennards Stores producing the shoes we were putting on. The shoes were not from imported leather but from locally tanned leather in Kaduna*.

*18. We were mainly flying our Airways, (the Nigeria Airways), to most places in the world. The Nigeria Airways was about the biggest in Africa at the time*.

*19. Most of the foods we ate were grown or produced in Nigeria*.

*We were producing all of the above and many more in 1980*

*Today, we import almost everything. Isn't that alarming?*

*There lies the source of the terrible exchange rate we are experiencing today and everyone reading this has a critical role to play in reversing this very UGLY trend.*

*We have been talking about these problems and more for ages.*

*It is not enough for us to complain about the exchange rate or point out what others are not doing or are failing to do. The key questions are:*

*1. What are we producing now?*
*2. What role are our so- called Leaders/ Politicians of today playing?*

*We are forever shying away from responsibility whereas it is a stack reality and if we don't deal with it, it won't go away. In fact it will get worse*.

*To our dear Politicians, if you don't have the capacity to RESET Nigeria to what it was at least back in 1980 then please stay in your house and don't waste our time.*

*ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!*

*Please share widely on all platforms for Nigerians.*

You know a well groomed person by the way they communicate. Present your argument and validate your points logically.

BoldBrainz:
Lasses and Gents of the Nairaland Community, a US dollar is now worth 950 Naira in the Abuja open market, as I write this.

So while you're all arguing on who saves the most money amongst both genders, be just as reasonable to save those monies in foreign currencies, for your own good.

Georgejeez:
Men save more than women when he is still single .

But once he finds himself in a relationship or begins to double date , he finds it hard to save , so Women save better then .

So generally, Status matters .

Xturf:
Big Brother naija contestants had this debate like 3 weeks ago.
Ask yourself, anytime you think of saving, your first thought is to avoid ladies and relationships. That settles your question.
Women are multipliers while Men are savers
You save sperm, you give woman, it becomes baby
Men are created to be savers while women are made to bring increase

mozona:
Women of cause cos they drain most men of their money well enough.

Me I have a wife I cannot even safe but my wife is doing ajo of #1000 everyday from where but from me. The day I got notice of it I was surprised.

Am happy for her but not happy for me.

favoryt:
I really appreciate your response. Thank you!

I need to mention that I stopped using the inverter and battery as soon as it stopped charging, I worked from a friend's place whenever there's no power till I got the battery charger, neither did I ever use it when it's low. You need to see how I pamper it cos it's important to my job. As soon as it beeps once I turn it off immediately! and the beeping sound only started happening when I started charging with an external battery charger and this is because it doesn't last beyond 2 hours.

So it's most likely number 1, the guy installed a fake Chinese battery without warranty for me and failed to let me know. Funny enough I got to know him from nairaland here!

Please can the battery still be redeemed, if yes, please let me know how to go about it, if not, kindly tell me more about the laptop battery bank as I haven't heard of it before. If I knew about it before I wouldn't have gone for the inverter honestly. The information I'd like to know is: How much should I budget for the laptop battery bank if I have to go for it, and what quality should I look out for to forestall any issues in future.
