Emir Of Kuvukiland – BOS @balogunfd· @bravefacefunkie and @LaurestarWe are building rise pyramid and the cost of rise has gone 400% times up since same Buhari got into power in 2015. So, how does the pyramid benefits common Nigerians, If all it could be used for is photoshoot, while the cost remains highest in the history of Nigeria.
THE TRUTHFUL ONE.@AdejumoAbayomi4· Mummy, someone raised a valid point that the enemies of progress are using bandits to drive farmers away from their farms so we won’t sustain this kind of story. PDP has its strategies, just that they are evil ones.
Oluwafemi Olawuyi@igbominawarlord· @LaurestarThe groundnut pyramid was birthed as a result of surplus. The rice is pyramid is for show and nothing more.
Prof. Jappa @ChigemezuUchec1· @LaurestarWhat’s the essence of building a rice pyramid, when the poor Nigerian masses can’t afford a rubber of the same rice? All these na dirty clout chasing, if this can’t be translated to a drastic fall in the price of rice in the market, then it’s all a show, after all!
Billionaire Jags@oluwaseun_jagun· @LaurestarI am more bothered by the price of rice in the market…. My question is why the display of rice in the Open space… Rain will destroy it. If this is surplus.. Then it should be in silos for storage. APC and showbiz..i can bet that an audit of the bags will expose alot of fraud
