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...
maxiflexy: 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.

I am not a buharist, but I don't care if the tomatoes and all produce from Benin republic rot. I care first about life in Nigeria, all these neighbouring countries don't appreciate us. What do they buy from us? We don't need to import from Benin what they imported. If we have to import, we should do it directly with the primary producing country
That begs the question, is our import duty to high that importers go through Benin?
sylve11: I heard somebody saying "why did they run". I don't know if they are innocent or not but let me tell you, pray you your village people don't locate you and push you into the wrong Policeman hand. Na then you go come understand why the boys ran.
journey well to them.......
You don't hate the Nigerian police more than I hate them, yet you don't ever need to run when the police seek you. If you run from police especially when they are close to you, anything you see take
jesusjnr: It's really strange to be honest with you. I just can't believe the extent to which they would go to discourage people from giving to the needy, yet they are supposed to represent Christ who stressed that so much.
God help us.
If you know the length the Missionaries went to take Christianity to every corner, some of the early missionaries spent their father's money to build Churches and schools free for the poor children of the places they traveled to. Today, Nigerian Pastors hustle to be posted to wealthy Church branches, changing suits and cars.
phineas: Which nonsense ignorance you paid propagandists that has probably sold out the nation and future generations to promote foreign and selfish agendas at the expense of your nation and its teeming youth population.If thats truly the case may what youve swallowed hook your neck while you vomit it all.
If the above is not the cade but that you trully suffer from ignorance may this your sin against our nation be forgiven.
The law of demand and supply will take over rice will be cheaper as local supply increases
I repeat go to shoprite mamas pride a local brand has as little as 1kg bags sold for as cheap as 540 naira .Thats about the equivalent of your 1 module in the market you buy for 600 naira.
You are the ignorant saboteaur
As e dey pepper The Pepper, e go dey pepper The mortar too
phineas: You must live under a rock sir. Nigeria is largely dependent on importation.
Just so you know from that your ridiculous list we import the following a lot too...
Palm oil a lot, vegetable oil, pepper,tommatoes,Afang a lot of afang too...chicken a whole lot...eggs as egg powder.add milk too,salt and the list is endless..
We will grow our own rice in Nigeria and ban imports entirely shortly.Our 100 million strong yoiths will be the new millonaires championing the cause.
For thise who want cheap loval rice vist shoprote and spar if i. The cities.Go directly to the farms if in the subburbs.A bag of unprocessed rice in an ogun state farm can be bought for as low as 4k.f #fact
If you want parboiled processed rice. Pay the true cost.. Till all boys become rich farmers and not at the expense of our foreign exchange and economy
Rice is the new road to wealth in Nigeria.Bene republoc and asain paid commentators should go and take a back seat
Thisis2raw: Malachi 3:10 (KJV) Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house That a clear direction, bring it to my house. Not to give to a begger at the road. Tho the act of giving to the poor can't be overemphasized, that why Jesus said give and it shall be given upon to
You don't read at all. You are an endangered species
So in the Law of Moses, apart from the Levites, tithes were also approved by God to be given to the needy?
That should lay to rest the debate of the Bible's position concerning who should benefit from the tithes once and for all, for even the Levites were also needy, hence the need of them benefitting from tithes.
So Jesus only fortified this position, with His emphasis of giving to the poor and needy, for that has always been the position of God since the needy came into existence.
Luke 14:12-14 (KJV)
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
So whether it's tithes or alms, never to give to the rich who have, but always to give to the poor and needy who don't have.
God bless.
You dey mind them? And the Levite's served in the alters not Synagogues and they had no inheritance. Pastors will never quote Deuteronomy, na only Malachy them they quote. Nigerian pastors hate to hear giving to the needy, they want you to believe that they are God.
alBHAGDADI: Agricultural produce are known to be harvested yearly in most cases, that's why tithing was done yearly. Today, people earn monthly, that's why they pay it monthly. You can chose to accumulate all the monthly tithe and pay it at the end of the year. What matters is you paying what belongs to God. But by the end of the year, the amount may appear too big to want to let go. So, it's advisable it is paid monthly when it appears small.
Yes, you are to feast and dine, but the passage never said you should feast on the exact tithe you brought. The feasting is what the temple prepared for everyone to eat. The bulls, sheep, corn, wheat etc are prepared and eaten by everyone after some have been stored and some sacrificed to God through burnt offering. Imagine you pay a tithe of a cow and bags of corn, can you feast on the whole of it in one sitting? The priest only takes a portion out of the many cows paid as tithe, slaughters it and everyone feasts. Same happens when your church holds yearly or quarterly feasts.
[b]Your con and deception is offensive! Nowhere in the Bible was man directed to pay tithe to the Church or synagogue. Bible said in a place God named.
Bible said you can merry with your family and the needy with your tithe and not the 90%. Issue of tithe was only necessary for the Levite's, because they were fulltime temple priests and had no inheritance. The only ones close to that are only catholic Priests because they have no inheritance.
God never emphasized that tithe should be given to him, God said tithe should be brought to a place he named. The only places God named for tithe were the Levite's, House of God, The Needy, Your Family, and not the Synagogue or Church. Levite's serve in the temple of Alter not synagogue and tithings was for the temple Alter not Churches. Levites are not conventional and evangelical priests, they are not pastors, evangelists, prophets, fathers, priests general overseers etc.
Tithe was never about money. Bible said crops and herds; agricultural harvests. The only time money was mentioned in tithing was when the tithe was too bulky and distant location, and Bible said convert to money and with it make marry with your family and needy .
Tithe is not money.
Christ said man was not made for the law, but the law for man.
Tithing seem obsolete, I am surprised that Nigerian Churches always preach tithing every week more than salvation.
God does not eat anything including tithe. Stop deceiving people. Greedy people, buying helicopters and jets, building schools for only the bourgeoisie. It was only once that Jesus Christ used horse, He did not even use Chariot
maasoap: I voted for him and no complain. He's doing only what can make Nigeria self sufficient in food production and less dependent on importation of food. I hope he can sustain it because Nigeria government has history of policy somersaults.
You are as dumb as your comment! Nigeria has never been dependent on importation of food, we are self sustained on over 80% of our food need. We don't import fufu, garrii, okro, pepper, egusi, palmoil, vegetable oil, salt, ogbono, groundnut, beens, maize, tapioca, wheat, vegetable, tomatoes, onions, chicken, beef, mutton, goat meat, cotton seed, bitter leaf, alubor, amala, tuwo, ugu leaf, banga, yam, sweet potato, cocoyam, iru, ogiri, dawadawa, etc
If importing rice can beat down the price to at least N10k, then we need to import. Please study the theory and law of Comparative Advantage in trade and production. And stop posting shallow comments.
midnighter: Wow! What family planning methods do you practice??
By the way you should change the name of this topic and stop blaming your wife...you're the one that slept with her so you don't understand yourself either
You just made me realize that we are too sentimental and incapable of solutions to problems as individuals and as politicians. He asked you for solutions not judgement.
ppreye: You'd be quite amazed with the number of my "products" that I have sold in nairaland alone and by Gods grace no one has called me out for selling fakes. Now can you crawl back to your hole
I am not amazed at all, because I am a Nigerian and I know our market is flooded with fake goods. Genuine quality is a luxury in Nigeria, continue selling your substandard goods, and you will continue having substandard electricity, substandard drugs, substandard rulers. Penny wise, pound foolish.
naijaguy123456: The British want to destroy our top educational institution. The British have done nothing positive for this country. If Unilag had made a major breakthrough in research would the BBC publish or run documentary on it ? Go to Uk universities and your white professors will be telling you that you can’t graduate here with first class because you’re black! They should run documentaries on those .
odinceblog: A Nigerian Based American Lady, Melissa, shares a Touching story of a Nigerian boy who she picked on the street 18 years Ago (abandoned with a disease) she took care of him, treated, trained him in school, now he is a medical Doctor.
Read Her testimony Below;
Guys! I am so excited!!!!! This last week my “adopted” brother became Dr Paul.
Our family first met Anejodo Paul in a small remote village in central Nigeria about 18 1/2 years ago.
I remember my heart breaking when I saw this kid under a tree swatting flies away from the raw and open tissue on his leg that had been caused by a flesh eating bacteria.
Many months later, through the kindness of a donor in the U.S., he was brought to the SDA Hospital in Ile-Ife for treatment of his buruli ulcer related disease and complications.
Over a year later, he came home to live with our family so that, at 13 years of age, he could start school. Did I mention he was 13 and starting first grade?
And this week, he got the news that he has passed his final medical school exams.
Thanks to MANY miracles from God, the medical care provided by doctors at the SDA Hospital in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, the support of many who contributed to cover his school fees, and other needs through the years, his own persistence in spite of MANY obstacles, he is now Dr. Paul!!!
We are all so proud of you, Paul! And I can’t wait to see where God continues to take you on this crazy journey he has had you on.
Biggest lie I have heard since my birth. This pattern of lies is trending now from Lagos to anambra. Nigerian politicians have nothing but deception and con. Every Nigerian living in any state is multi taxed . In abambra state the citizens and visitors are over taxed way beyond acceptability. If you know the number of touts and thugs that anambra government sold taxation contracts to, you will cry for Nigeria. They will tax you for carrying any bag of goods that has been taxed already by the government, buses and cabs are charged daily by government which are transfered to consumers. PHC? What Nigerians pay to the various discos for electricity that they do not see will make you disown this country. The federal and state government have refused to meter electricity consumers and prefer to give in estimated bill. Consumers buy transformers for PHC with their hard earned money and yet, over pay for electricity. The governors should just keep quiet.
PureFace1: Over the years, history has been brought to life on screen in many ways, including with the use of feature films.
Fact-based or fictional, films in a historical setting inform, entertain and shape the way people view the past.
In honor of Nigeria's Independence Day, here are five Nigerian films that are inspired by or attempt an accurate portrayal of a historical event since October 1, 1960.
Check them out:
1. "October 1"
Set in Colonial Nigeria, "October 1" follows the story of "76"
"76" is a a police officer from Northern Nigeria who is posted to a remote town of Akote in Western Nigeria to investigate the frequent female murder cases in the community, and have the mystery solved before the Nigerian flag is raised on October 1, Nigeria's Independence Day.
Directed by Kunle Afolayan, "October 1" explores tribalism, western imperialism, homosexuality and Nigeria's independence.
The films stars Sadiq Daba, Kayode Olaiya, David Bailie, Kehinde Bankole, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Fabian Adeoye Lojede, Nick Rhys, Kunle Afolayan, Femi Adebayo, Bimbo Manuel, Ibrahim Chatta and Demola Adedoyin.
Directed by Biyi Bandele and based on the novel of the same name by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, "Half of a Yellow Sun" weaves together the lives of four people caught up in the turbulence of the Nigerian Civil War.
In "Half of a Yellow Sun," Olanna and Kainene are glamorous twins from a wealthy Nigerian family. Returning to a privileged city life in newly independent 1960s Nigeria after their expensive English education, the two women make very different choices which take them and their lovers on a journey through the war.
"Half of a Yellow Sun" is a powerful, intense and emotional historical drama capable of tugging at one's heartstrings.
"76" is a meticulously detailed Nigerian historical fiction drama set six years after the civil war. It follows the story of Captain Joseph Dewa, a young soldier accused of complicity in the abortive coup of 1976, and his pregnant wife, Suzy, who helps him prove his innocence.
With "76," the director Izu Ojukwu transports viewers back to the familiar 1976, six years after the civil war, when General Murtala Muhammed was killed on February 13, 1976, in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka.
"76" is not entirely a movie about the 1976 coup, however, the events of the year pilot the circumstances that form the setting for the movie.
The movie stars Ramsey Nouah, Chidi Mokeme, Rita Dominic, Ibinabo Fiberesima and Daniel K Daniel.
A Jeta Amata film, "The Amazing Grace" tells the remarkable story of British slave trader John Newton, who had sailed to the now Nigeria in 1748 to buy slaves but later gave up the trade and became an Anglican priest.
After he almost lost his life in a violent storm at sea, Newton gave his life to Christ. According to him, it was the grace of God that saved his life.
Subsequently devoting his entire life to religion, Newton penned one of the world's most famous religious hymns ever, Amazing Grace."
The Nigerian films stars Nick Moran, Joke Silva, Scott Cleverdon, Mbong Amata, Fred Amata and Zack Amata.
A Lancelot Imasuen film, "Invasion 1897" tells the story of the removal of the powerful Oba Ovarhehem Nogbaisi of the Benin Empire by the British colonialists in 1897.
The movie parades an impressive cast which includes Mike Omoregbe, Segun Arinze, Rudolph Walker, Charles Inojie, Paul Obazele, Justus Esiri, Charles 'Chucky' Venn and Leo Mezie.
