Nigerians were thrown into confusion today, Tuesday, December 13, 2016, after MMM Nigeria announced it was freezing its operations for the month of December.
With this state of uncertainty, there are new claims that a Nigerian is the mastermind of MMM Nigeria.
Last week, Pastor Ernest Mbanefo who is based in South Africa denied claims that he was the individual behind MMM Nigeria.
Now, a Twitter user Amadi Noel (@KingNoelC) claims that a Nigerian by the name Chuddy Anayo Ugorji as the man who is responsible for the entrance of MMM into Nigeria.
In his long Twitter thread made today, Amadi Noel stated that Chuddy Anayo Ugorji allegedly brought MMM into Nigeria in 2015.
He also claimed that he struck a deal with some Phillipinos to create “MMM Nigeria names”.
Amongst other things, Noel said Chuddy was a former member of MMM Global and has made over N5bn since the start of the Ponzi scheme in Nigeria.
According to the thread, the Ponzi scheme was done by Chuddy in collaboration with some white people in Dubai.
Chuddy tweeted the phone number of Chuddy Anayo Ugorji, his wife and other Nigerians he identified as the “cartel.”
Chuddy Anayo Ugorji was not available when Pulse contacted him but we were able to contact with his wife via phone.
Mrs Ugorji said that Russian and MMM Global founder Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi was behind MMM in Nigeria. When Pulse asked to state if her husband is truly the brains behind the Ponzi scheme in Nigeria, she refused to answer and said we should keep calling her husband. “It’s best you hear from the horse’s mouth” she told Pulse exclusively today.
A quick look at Chuddy Ugorji’s Twitter account shows strong indications that he has some stake in MMM Nigeria even though his last tweet was on September 7, 2016.
His YouTube channel features him making several presentations about MMM in several gatherings. The first video on the channel ‘Ideology of MMM’ was published on October 29, 2015.

A 25-year-old caterer identified as Rosemary Nnaife, who was allegedly bathed with acid by her ex-lover in the Lawanson, Surulere area of Lagos State, has demanded the prosecution of the suspect, identified only as Paul.
The Delta State indigene, whose face had been scarred by the acid, said since the incident, Paul had yet to be prosecuted. The victim explained that she had dated Paul for four years before the relationship ended due to abuse and violence.
She said she got into another relationship, which did not go down well with the suspect, who allegedly began sending threat messages to her and her new boyfriend.
The threat allegedly culminated in an acid bath after she was tricked out of her residence in the Abaranje, Ikotun area of the state.
Nnaife said she was rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Surulere, by sympathisers, while Paul was arrested by policemen from the Itire division.
She said although the Directorate of Public Prosecutions ordered that the suspect be tried at the Lagos State High Court, the case was still pending.
She said,
“I dated Paul for four years and I loved him. But the problem was that he was always beating me. He also embarrassed me in the public, so I ended the relationship.
“I got another boyfriend and moved on with my life. But Paul was angry and he attacked me. He got my new boyfriend’s number and threatened him. He also threatened me. But I didn’t take the threats seriously.
“Some days later, an unknown number called me and when I picked it, it was a woman. She said she wanted me to bake cakes for her and I should come down to Surulere. We agreed to meet at Lawanson bus stop.
“When I got to the bus stop, somebody touched my shoulder from behind. When I turned around, I saw Paul. He then poured the acid on me and ran away.”
She added that the matter was reported to the police at the Itire division, and later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the suspect was arraigned by the police at the Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court, where he was admitted to bail.
However, the case was said to have stalled.
Nnaife called for justice, saying she wanted the suspect to pay damages and bear the cost of a plastic surgery.
“He has been walking free, while I have been scarred for life. I want him to pay for this. I need the help of the government and the good people of Nigeria,” she added.
The Director of the Lagos State Public Advice Centre, Mrs. Tola Akinsanya, said the agency would revive the case to ensure there was diligent prosecution of the suspect.
She said,
“The woman was allegedly bathed with acid by her ex-boyfriend on June 3, 2015, and he was arrested and taken to a magistrate’s court. When the DPP’s advice was released, it ordered that the case should be transferred to the high court.
“Although we are aware the case has been filed, it has yet to be assigned to any court since last year. We are working with the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender to assemble a team of lawyers to represent her. We must ensure that she gets justice.”
Akinsanya explained that the agency would also make effort to get support from the state ministry of health for a plastic surgery for Nnaife.
There is palpable fear at the Federal Prison, Owerri, Imo State, over the escape of two inmates of the prison who are still serving jail terms.
According to a staff member of the prison, the inmates escaped from the prison by scaling the fence.
He said,
“The escapees took the advantage of the ongoing building construction in the male section of the facility to abscond. “I believe that the plan was hatched by the male inmates who were working at the construction site. “Their escape has caused serious panic in the prison. There are fears that heads will roll if the convicts are not found. They scaled the fence, while work was going on in the male section of the prison. We believe that most of the male prisoners planed and facilitated the escape.”
Punch reports prison authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the escape.
The national embarrassment occasioned by the inability of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to settle the allowances/salaries of the Super Falcons is set to reach new lows with reports that the team is set to march to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday in continuation of their protest.
Nigerian football has been rocked by the raging dispute between the NFF and the Falcons since their record-extending eighth victory at the Africa Women Cup of Nations in Cameroon a fortnight ago.
The team has vowed to remain at the Agura Hotel, Abuja, until they are paid every entitlement due them, much to the consternation of football bosses.
AfricanFootball.com reports that one of the organisers of the planned protest, Aderonke Bello-Ogunleye, claimed the team were ready to carry placards and proceed on a peaceful protest to the State House, where the Federal Executive Council meeting will take place.
“This is unfortunately a regular occurrence to female football in Nigeria, we treat our victorious girls with disdain and total disrespect as all the time,” said Aderonke.
“It is inconceivable that the NFF/Federal Government are unwilling to pay the players their dues after winning the trophy. This has to stop and the girls must be paid their dues.
“We are going to protest the unfair treatment meted out to these champions who have won the tournament eight times, making them the most successful football team in Nigeria, and we hope the federal government will listen to their plea.”
In light of the raging saga, one wonders why any government would fold its hands and watch their dirty linen taken to the public.
The protest today will tell us more.

Cossy Ojiakor is catching a lot of flak on social media from Nigerians who feel she crossed the boundary by insulting the president.
Yesterday, the buxom actress shared the photo of President Buhari and Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh with a caption that caught many people’s attention.
“Our president is representing us well… Just looking at him….. his features reflects just how hungry and tired the Nigerian economy is,” Ms Ojiakor said, adding, “Pls pray for him to add just a little weight so he can look more handsome and maybe our economy will get better and more robust.”
And then she closed off the note with a claim that she simply was making bants. “Hahahaha just jokes ooo,” she said.
However, many Nigerians on Instagram found nothing funny with the caption. While many called her out for being insensitive and disrespectful, a lot more have noted her ignorance.
The actress had never been one to make political commentaries; her tendencies include baring her boobs on Independence Day, and urging folks to see sex as palliative to poverty. Now, she is making a daring statement and many people aren’t finding that funny
But are they being too sensitive?
Check out the post and the reactions:

As she became a controversial topic on social media, people began to speculate whether or not, she’s a 63 year old. Well, according to a new investigation, the said “MILF”, isn’t 63 but 41.
After a thorough research on the hot mama, there was a mug shot of her that popped up… She had been arrested in 2007 in Georgia for driving without a driver’s license.

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency LASEMA has advise that should in case you encounter anyone who attempts suicide over the controversial MMM saga, you shouldn’t hesitate to dial 112.
They gave the advise after a twitter user cautioned that suicide rates may increase in Lagos, due to the fact that MMM Nigeria has frozen it’s members account for one month.

President Buhari has arrived Gambia this morning, a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina states.
He arrived the country this morning with President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, who is the current Chairperson of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS, and President Ernest Bai Koroma of Sierra-Leone. They were received at the airport by Gambia’s Vice-President, Isatou Njie-Saidy.
His Ghanaian counterpart, who will also be leaving office soon, John Mahama had arrived earlier.
They are to meet with President, Yahya Jammeh, who just lost the presidential election. Shortly after Yahya lost, he conceded and congratulated John Mahama, but has now made a u-turn saying, he won’t be leaving office.
According to the statement, Buhari and the ECOWAS leaders will discuss the ensuing impasse in The Gambia with Jammeh, and insist on the sanctity of the electoral process, and respect for the wishes of the people.
“They would also ask their host to respect the Constitution of his own country, and maintain the inviolability of an electoral process that had been concluded, and in which he had admitted defeat, and congratulated his main challenger. The leaders are also scheduled to meet the President-elect, Adama Barrow.
President Buhari is however expected back in the country today.
A soon-to-wed man simply identified as Adakole is currently between life and death after allegedly taking insecticide following the alleged crash of Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, famously known as MMM.
The incident happened in Otukpo, Benue State, after promoters and participants were thrown into confusion on Tuesday following the news that the ponzi scheme has been frozen.
Reports had it that all confirmed accounts, as at early hours of Monday, were frozen.
DAILY POST gathered that Adakole, a native of Ai Okpe in Okpokwu LGA whose wedding is slated for December 28 had earlier invested 300 thousand into the scheme last month and was expecting to get his 30 per cent income before his wedding.
An eyewitness told our reporter that when the news broke out Tuesday morning, Adakole, who was introduced into the business literally went mad.
“Kole is my childhood friend, we all grew up in Ugbokolo but when he traveled to Abuja to meet with the pastor of his fiancée, he said someone introduced him into the MMM thing but I and his babe warned him but he told us the scheme was not a scam.
“This early morning, he called me to check the internet if the story of the alleged crashed of the scheme was true, I told him so I heard and he screamed and hung up.
“When I heard him, I knew it was no longer funny, so I had to rush to his house around Sabon Gari to discover that he had taken Raid insecticide. I had to call the fiancée to inform her.
“I had to take him to the clinic where he is currently battling for his life. The babe is already on her way from Abuja,” he added.
When our reporter contacted the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, he said the incident has not been reported.
“We are yet to receive the report as we speak but I promise to get back to you as soon as I get the report,” he assured.
Meanwhile, the founders have announced that the scheme has not crashed as widely being speculated, adding that it was only in pause mode.
They called on investors not to panic as the scheme would return next year.
Okay people, the shii just got real as an official MMM Twitter account reacts to the current outcry by its participants. In a tweet shared, they said the participants were warned to use their spare money… and shouldn’t be unnecessarily greedy… Ouch!
See below:
The video was shared online by Tina-Turnah Chocolatecity Nnamena and I couldn’t help but laugh after watching the video… The lady, who showed that she obviously could read, read out what was written on the “tablet”, “TOWEL”…
She saw “TOWEL” written there and went ahead to lick it. According to her, she was given the tablets by her boss.
She even warned that people should be careful! This is just too funny… Watch below:
Facts have emerged why popular Ponzi scheme in Nigeria, MMM froze confirmed monies in the system for one month.
Recall that operators of the scheme last last night, December 12, froze mavros on MMM stating that it’s action was due to panic and heavy anti-MMM reports by the Nigerian media.
But the scheme’s number one guider, simply identified as Chuddy, has come out to clear the air on the development.
Hi Mavrodians, As we all must have seen in our PO of the news on Mavro frozen for a month. This isn’t the first of its kind. It happens when there are excess PANIC in the system,”he wrote on the MMM Nigeria website.
He added that the brief ban was also placed on Zimbabwe and after the duration it was lifted.
He revealed that the “idea is brought forward to calm the members down on intending threat the FG and Mass media has planned on the system.
“It doesn’t mean that there is no more money in the system because in my PO now as a guider, I have about 2million+ PH orders. And I know it would be like that in most Guiders PO too. So you see!!! Money to pay out the orders wouldn’t be a problem.
“But the Admins needed to apply measures to sustain the growth of the system. In order to fight issues that may arose as a result of Massive PH already this Christmas.”
He said issues like uploading of fake POP, non confirmation of orders and the rest also contributed to the short ban on mavro growth.
“We all need not panic as our money is in safe hands. Check out your Mavros and you see your money is intact both for 30% bonuses and 20% accrued bonuses
“You can keep PHing if you have the money, though you will definitely not be matched until Mavros are unfrozen. But that will really go a long way for you as your PH made this December will surely be giving you extra 20% after paying out next year.”
No cause for Alarm We live to expect a stronger MMM by January 14th, 2017
Guider
Chuddy
Another guider colloborates the message thus:
Michael N:
Good morning Mavrodians. What we are seeing now is the only practical measure to protect MMM Nigeria from danger. A lot of news of MMM crash this December has been on the social media and other news and gossip. This has really affected the system. There were heavy conspiracy by financial institutions to collapse the system.
What happened to the system last week would have been worse if GH is allowed today. Despite the holiday bonus, many participants were ready to GH today. The PH is not commensurate to the GH and this is the fear created by sponsored fake news. The truth remains that the mavros in the system are safe until they are unfrozen.
Those who have PH in the system shouldn’t cancel them because since all green mavro are frozen no PH will be paired. For those who understand the system, what has happened is a temporary measure to save the system and saving the system is saving our money. If we are allowed to GH, by next week there may be no enough PH to pair the GH then the worst will happen.
This is a kind of caution taken to avert danger. So our mavros are safe. I encourage those who want to PH to still do their PH. The maturity is January and doesn’t change anything by then the system is back and stronger.
Don’t loose hope, all of us have mavros in the system and let’s not use because of this little set back forget what MMM has done for us and will do more if the system is safeguarded. I personally feel the same way as you but it’s better to save the system than loose everything.
Some people are complaining why the Guiders were not informed and my response is, if the Guiders were informed the system will crash in less than 10mins of the information. The way you received the news is the way we Guiders received the news but we have the training that such thing may happen if there is evidence of danger ahead. This shows how firm and protective MMM is structured. Let’s be optimistic and positive. This is our community, let’s protect it.
I remain, Yours truly Michael N.
YOU CAN STILL PLEDGE HELP (PH) Some guiders further explained that participants can continue to pledge help even though mavros are frozen for the moment.
They emphasized that the strategy will strengthen the platform and make it more stable. However, getting help (GH) is suspended until January 15, 2016.
The embattled General Overseer of Reigners International Bible Church, Uyo Akwa Ibom State, Apostle Akan Weeks has called on Nigerians to stop crucifying him over the collapse of his church building that led to the deaths of many worshippers.
In a statement posted on the church’s website, Apostle Weeks who was supposed to be ordained as a Bishop on the day of the tragedy, added that the disaster was a clear battle between light and darkness as some forces wanted to bring down the kingdom of God.
The Apostle who spoke from his hospital bed after he also suffered a cut in his leg, however, urged Nigerians to pray for him and his church instead of pointing accusing fingers at him as it was not his fault that the building collapsed.
Also speaking on the incident during a phone-in program of a private radio station in Uyo, Apostle Weeks described the tragedy as unfortunate, saying that he was equally injured by the debris of the collapsed structure.
“Apostle Akan Weeks is my name. It is very unfortunate the incident that happened on Saturday during my bishopric enthronement; I call to say that God is still on the throne.
Only God knows best and nobody can question Him. “And I want to say that for the departed souls. And those who are injured, God will give them quick and speedy recovery. I want to tell every family that is in pain that our God is the healer.
Now, people are crucifying me but no one should crucify me. I am more interested in the souls of the people I have laboured for to bring to God over the years since my tender age.”
“I am so sorry and sympathize with all the families. Please, we should rise and pray together, we will win the battle.
Let Christians in Akwa Ibom State know that this battle is not all about Akan Weeks and his church, it is the battle between the kingdom of darkness and the church in the land.
I was injured in the leg too. Please, this is not the time to crucify me; I’m still your brother. Reigners Church family, I’m still your pastor. The enthronement was canceled completely and I am not interested.
Please let us rise and pray. Once I am out of my hospital bed, I will come on air and we will pray together. I was also seriously injured. One of my legs was seriously damaged.”
Apostle Weeks has also called on people to stop the further circulation of the gory pictures of the unfortunate incident on social media as it is a constant reminder of what went wrong in the church.
Real Madrid and Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, claimed the 2016 Ballon D’or award on Monday, for the fourth time in his career.
The soccer icon is pictured with his son and the trophy, in a new photo shared via his Instagram page.
Despite of the statement, issued by Dettol South Africa, condemning Prophet Rufus Phala for forcing members of his church to drink the liquid antiseptic, the “man of god” was spotted at a local supermarket buying more bottles of the liquid antispetic.
Prophet Phala of the Spiritual Christian Church in Makgodu Village, outside Polokwane in Limpopo, had made his members drink Dettol antiseptic liquid, promising they will be healed of their sicknesses, adding that the Holy Spirit had instructed him to use the product.
The Dettol company warned the prophet to stop the practice because oral consumption of its product can endanger health. Euphemia Annor, the regional legal director of Dettol South Africa, said:
“Dettol has been proved to be safe and effective when used as per recommended directions; however it is not for human consumption and is for external use only. We are against Prophet Phala using the product inappropriately.”
Even after the company called the prophet on his phone and asked him to stop the practice, he was unfazed. When Daily Sun SA called him on Saturday, Phala said he had already bought four bottles of the product for use during yesterday’s service.(Sunday, December 11th)
“After last week’s service I have been receiving amazing testimony from members of my church” he claimed.
– Daily Sun SA
So it looks like the rapture came early for some Nigerians who call themselves “Mavrodians”, as they woke up on a Tuesday winter morning to such devastating news of what just might have happened to their money.
And just like the Scriptures prophesied, there is weeping and gnashing of teeth of these Mavrodians… Excuse my metaphor people! I’m just overwhelmed by the situation on ground.
Why are they wailing?! Each time they were warned before time, they kept on shouting “RISKS” like they’re “Bobrisky”, didn’t they understand the meaning of risk then?!
See some reactions of fellow Mavrodians, who are utterly terrified as to what might seem to be the end of the controversial ponzi scheme that had the participation of over 2 million of them.

And these hilarious memes that have begun to ensue:
Reactions are coming in from South Africa.. People from South Africa are alleging that this is the same way MMM crashed in their country… and we couldn’t help but make a little research.
Find below a report by some media outlets in South Africa, the day MMM announced they were going on a break:
Controversial “donation platform” and alleged Ponzi scheme, MMM South Africa collapsed and rebooted amid what it calls a “media panic”.
In a notice posted to participants of the scheme after it happened, the group said that “persecution against MMM organized by the mass media” has provoked a panic which has forced the scheme to “start all over again”.
The group’s administration said that the scheme’s currency – “Mavros”, named after the scheme’s founder, convicted Russian fraudster, Sergey Mavrodi – had been frozen and were impossible to use.
The group blamed the collapse of the system on media reports and South African banks, which it alleges have hurt and robbed “millions” of people who were part of the MMM scheme.
The scheme said it has started over with a clean sweep, with a plan to compensate users for any Mavro funds which were frozen.
The “old” version of the Mavro currency will be ‘bought out’ through trades of the “new” version of the currency, where equal value would be paid out to participants over six months, using 10% of total trade – effectively placing a debt burden on all participants.
The notice popped up on participants’ dashboards over the weekend (1 May 2016), but was no longer appearing by Tuesday, according to users. The notice was captured and posted to social media:
Dear participants!
Unfortunately, the persecution against MMM organized by the mass media has provoked a panic. We have been working in South Africa for almost 2 years and we have millions of members. During all that time, we had no complaints and accusations from participants, everything was paid to everyone in time and in full amount, by 30% per month. We held charity events and helped children. We did a lot of useful things for people! Well, who was suffering from this?
The bankers and the adherents of the current unjust financial system. That is why they planned and brought all these crazy investigations and persecution in the mass media. “The only thing which prevents the investigation is the fact that non of the participants reported to the police”. If there are no complaints, and everybody is happy, then what is the investigation for? What is the subject? Did not they understand the consequences? Did not they understand that their irresponsible actions would hurt people? Millions of people! Well, try oppressing any bank, even the most reliable one, in the same way, and see what will happen tomorrow.
However, it is futile to explain that to them. MMM prevents banks from robbing people, that is the only reason why all this is happening. And nobody cares about people. If we managed to pay millions of participants 30% per month for two years (and would still be paying, if the mass media did not lie about MMM!), why do banks not do the same? Why do they offer only a few percents a year? Make your own conclusions. Thought everything is clear right now. You are simply robbed, we have always been saying it. The modern financial system is predatory by nature. It is not for ordinary people, it is for the bankers. Its purpose is financial slavery! And it achieves this purpose perfectly.
In general, in this situation, we have to start all over again. We have no choice. You can see on your own what is happening.
Hence,
1. The current (“old”) Mavros are frozen. Any operations with them are impossible.
2. With the development of the system, we will send 10% of the total inflow (of all the PHs) to pay for the “old” Mavro. According to the experience of other countries, we can definitely say that in the normal course of events, all the old Mavro debts will be paid off in about six months.
3. “New” Mavros (Mavro bought from the moment of this announcement) are introduced. You can use them on a common basis: to ‘acquire’ and ‘withdraw’ them at any time.All of this, of course, is not very nice, but it’s not the end of the world. We will quickly pay off “old” Mavro debts, no doubt about it. You just have to wait. (And anyway, you can thank your precious media and banks for this “gift”!). The best thing you can do is just to start participating again, that is all. And you will quickly return everything, even with a benefit. Moreover, now is the most favorable time to participate and invite: in fact, everything starts from the beginning. So do not miss your chance! :-))
We hope for your understanding, Administration.
Some reactions from South Africa:
Mmm is happy to scam nigeria people to pay other nigeria in mmm because nigeria people re very stubborn desperate the warning but many still invest in mmm.
U can cry ooo but don’t commit succeed.. It your risk n your faults.. No one to blame. Greed people only join mmm
LOL u should have learned from your brothers and sisters here in south africa , our old mavro maoney is gone as we speak and MMM is at silence as we speak so watch out for this ponzi schemes i have also learned my lesson here in south africa but atleast is not to much money that i lost
Some reactions from Nigerians:
Why do people take interest in others downfall? Why should we pray for others to for misfortunes? Am not an MMM participant, i don’t pray for its crash because, i have seen a lot lives been turns around for good by MMM.Googluck to all…
MMM crash ke? guys wey go carry stroke dis dec go yapa ehn nd Very soon we will start seeing love stories like, We first met on MMM,they Paired us both but she kept on asking for extension which I did.But I noticed she had a nice voice.I then checked WhatsApp,her pic was so dope and we started from there and here we are today.
I got helped this morning and was matched with someone to pay me. Una go crash before mmm crash
The trust is , what happened now is because every one wants to get their money back because of the holiday and not put money. So there is no way it will not affect the system. So the pause mode is to reduce the pressure to take money
Freeze / block na dem sabi. But all I knw is that this their Moku Mogbe Modaran (MMM) of a tin am not interested. Pennywise (sogun di ogoju) don teach me lesson.but me I will keep on warning my people cos this kind thing is real in Abroad but Nijaaaaaaaa! Guys e ja ara yin.Na starting dem get but d finishing………it is well
What I don’t understand is why they won’t announce the freezing to their participants before now, making people say lots of different things. Now even some bastards are making emphasis on how cbn has been warning people about the scheme without them giving any reasoning about who cbn epp, what has the government at large been doing for its citizens? Why won’t people take risks when all we do is work daily without payment, when people are dying of hunger and the so called government are living large buying exotic cars and building mansion everyday without doing no good for the people….. Now people are saying the scheme has crashed? Wow???tho am not a participant but then I don’t wish it so. Have heard people say Carpenters should start making lots of coffins because when something like this is gonna happen, people go just dey fall die and die for roadside……And have also heard another meaning given to the so called mmm, people say it’s wen it crashes that the people will understand its true meaning(moku mogbe modaran) God help us….
Come to think of it. The month self don almost finish. Christmas is next week So time fly’s, In no time it will be over. The only people I have concern for is those that
Lazy people. You sleep at home all day and want your money to grow and yet you want Nigeria to be great. This is exactly what Trump said about you guys. I mean you guys. Not the wise ones.. Imagine how great the world would be if everybody gets to invest solely on mmm. Be wise.
The demand for Nigerian-grown rice has duly risen in Calabar amidst rising cost of imported grains. Local rice looks set to take over kitchens this Christmas, according to a new investigation by News Agency of Nigeria.
“It is cheaper, more affordable and even sweeter than foreign rice. So I cannot spend as much as N26, 000 just to buy just a bag of rice simply because it is foreign,” said Calabar resident Richard Nku.
“In this Christmas, I am going for locally made rice and that is what my family and everybody in my house will eat until January,’’ he said.
A rice farmer, Fidel Egoro, told NAN,
“We are under serious pressure to deliver on demand and that is why we cannot accept people paying us through banks.
“We do not have the time to go to the bank, so we prefer cash to save time; many people have placed orders for rice and we are trying to meet up before the close of the season,’’ he said.
With increased demand, it is thought prices of local rice might shoot up before Christmas.
“One bushel of rice (equivalent of half bag) sells for N7,250, while two bushels (equivalent of one bag) sells for N14,500).
“This may increase before the close of the season, depending on changes in cost of production,’’ he said.
