One can only begin to wonder what this country is turning into..we have been faced with diversity of trial basis from un-patriotic nigerian. who tend to use their expanse wealth of the few to intimidate the un-suspecting majority .
We have witnessed a previous situation which was the killer beans now its the killer rice ( LL62 ). Who is to be blamed for such mis-conduct. You know as an individual you would not consume into your stomach from the first instant of smelling it ..Further more having the interest to eating it ..It is terrible and degrading we have to stoop so low..One can only continue to ask ..WHY ? WHY ? WHY ? When would we uphold our honour and glory of our heroes past …WHEN !!!!!

The Government should stop those involved from further importation.

It is indeed a pity, we could all within the North call ourselves believers.
While it is easy and common to classify ourselves as christians or muslims, yet despite all that we do not have the interest of each other or our neighbors at heart.What a life, pathetic and unfortunate Simply put it’s a case of organized hopelessness.

It is very clear to all that Nigerian business men can go to any length for money. When a country like Sierra Leone refused to flood theirs with that killer Rice but a Nigeria men found it very useful for his country. How does it get to the town when all our roads are full of checking points. Where are the Police collection centres, Custom and NAFDAC?. The wise men continue to call the Goverment to reduce the level of corruption but they will not listen. Corruption will wipe all of us one day if we allow it to continue growing unattended to. GOD HELP THE POOR ONE O O O O.

na,

I have seen live sheep brought into the country from another continent via passenger plane. It entered the country without quarantine or anything. Na, wake up this is Nigeria, sadly though. Only sincerity and fear of the Almighty unique Creator will help us.

Nigerians,why is it that we only think of how to make money and not our health? The idiot that imported the poisonous rice, definitely one or more of ur families must be a victim. U will live to regret this ungodly act, and u must not go unpunished.

Smart people knew long time ago that Nigeria has been turned into a dumping ground. A country flowing with milk and honey and naturally blessed with both human and naturally resources is now found importing killer rice to reduce the population of her own citizen. The importer of such rice should be brought to justice and punish in order to prevent future occurrence. People across the globe are watching to see how Nigeria will handle this disgraceful situation. I am terribly ashamed!!!

This is another bad and evil handiwork of our politicians. The PDP is always handy to extend hands of fellowship to its members who wants to import whatever, whether poison rice or not, it doesnt matter, what matters is that another PDP top shot has feathered his nest. Let the press go to hell for all they care. One day, One day, One day, and that one day is around the corner when this evil and draconian party that housed too many evil and strange bedfellows will pay back. Remember maximum prison at Kirikiri, it is waiting for them. They ‘ll all roast in HELL, i bet you with my all.

If this type of crime is committed in a serious nation, the culprits will not go unpunished, but in Nigeria the culprit will only be compesated with another billions of naira worth of contracts in order to redeem his loss in that transaction. Who says we are not happy and lovely. P—D—–P Powerrrrrrrr.

It will be too bad if we kill ourself not with AIDS, SARS, SWINE FLU, BIRD FLU bt with an ordinary contaminated rice. How did the rice cross into nigeria border without being tested by the appropriate agencies?

I hope this is not a game plan to reduce our population,if not how can u explain to the world that a deadly rice rejected by sierra leonean could easily finds its way to Nigeria “THE GIANT OF CORRUPTION OR AFRICA” sorry,with all customs,immigration officer,standard organisation Nigeria official and NAFDAC official at every half km of our border,yet the deadly rice still pass through our border to our market.The poor Nigerian are asking “WHAT HAVE WE DONE WRONG TO MERIT ALL THIS?.God will help us.

This is crazy, what is wrong with our people, what is our problem in this country, where do we go from here Naija. Sunny Okosun said , which way Nigeria. Is there any future for our kids? there is no future for any one here. If FG is serious about the rule of law they should arrest the toxic rice importers and the custom men in charge of port of entry of these deadly cargo, shame on the NCS, NAFDAC, SON , CPC, FMH and NPF and SSS they are disappointment and so incompetent.

Who is to blame? Blame it on Yar’dua of course! After hundreds of warning ahead of the devilish rice purchased by the Nigerian billionaires the said rice still make way into the unsecured nation. If i were the president, all the nations guard head have questions to answer. Starting from Okiro.
