PRICE OF LOCALLY MADE RICE STILL AN EXPLOITATION OF THE PEOPLE


Under gej's administration, good quality imported rice was sold at N7,500 till the end of his administration in May, 2015.

Now, we have a lot of low quality and imported and smuggled rice at exorbitant prices courtesy of the fire brigade banning approach of the pmb led administration.

Don't get me wrong! I am not against the drive to promote consumption of locally made rice but what's the sense in buying a 50kg bag of locally made rice for N12,000 without any importation duties hassle when good quality imported rice before the ban was sold at N7,500? A wide price merging of N4,500!!! We are still being cheated and exploited.

As much as I care, a bag of 50kg locally made rice shouldn't exceed N8,000 max for sense to be made in the local production drive and a total ban on importation of rice and blockage and seizure of smuggled ones through the boarders.

My humble opinion.

God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

OYO STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL PRIVATIZATION INITIATIVE: A DRIVE TOWARDS COLLAPSE OF EDUCATION IN OYO STATE AND STRANGULATION OF THE POOR TO ILLITERACY.

I want to start by saying that the primary reason for the existence of government is the welfare of the people in terms of education, security of lives, provision of basic amenities, shelter and clothing if possible to the core poor and every other thing is secondary. No government that tries making primary duty secondary and secondary duty primary, succeeds.  Of all the primary duties of the government, education is sacrosanct to the liberation of the people and mental empowerment. If it cant be made to be free, it should be made to be affordable as governments success is key to provision of services and not profit making. If the state cannot manage the public schools again, it should humbly give the schools back to their original owners. There are missionary schools among these public schools and during the time of baba awolowo that these people deceitfully claimed to be following, education up to secondary school was totally free and many among them benefitted even on scholarship
