WHY LOCAL RICE (UNPOLISHED RICE) SHOULD BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN FOREIGN RICE (POLISHED RICE)

   Imported Rice Advent of imported foods into our country is quite a good thing, but of what use is it to our health when all we get is diseases and malign health conditions more prevalent to Europe and America. We have been discouraged by the whites from valuing what we have, even the brown rice, but this same rice is highly priced in America and Europe much more than their polished rice. As far as rice is concerned in Nigeria, Africa and some other countries of the world, locally grown rice popularly called  “ Local Rice ” ,  “ Ofada Rice ”  or  “ Abakaliki Rice ”  in Nigeria, and other names in other countries will always be considered the best as it has a lot to offer when it comes to health benefits and contains lots of un-adulterated nutrients which is good for the body and overall health.

I dream of a day when graduates of Accounting or Banking and Finance would prefer to own and run their own farms rather than seek banking jobs; a day when young men and women who hold degrees in Engineering or any other degree for that matter, would opt for a career in farming, not because they have no options but because they regard farming as a more lucrative enterprise.  I dream of a young man or woman in jeans and t-shirt w

Misconception about Garri Although some people erroneously think that the consumption of garri can affect vision, however there has been no medical proof to substantiate this statement. Also the argument that garri is predominantly consumed in the poor households is not true. Cassava, the root from which garri is produced, is rich in fiber, copper and magnesium.

Only few month ago when I was invited to the birthday party of a close friend did I realized that my fear of not embracing online platforms was borne out of not being in possession of enough information. I was discussing
