Men and women that will rescue this country from self-inflicted pains and tears are not born yet – APC Chieftain Joe Igbokwe laments

Prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, has expressed dismay over the skyrocketing cost of rice in Nigeria.\

In a social media post on Tuesday, Igbokwe shared that a bag of rice now costs over ₦100,000, despite the country’s numerous rice mills. The post, which has sparked a wave of reactions online, highlights the growing economic strain on everyday Nigerians due to rising food prices.

Igbokwe’s Facebook post read, “With all the rice mills we have in Nigeria, my wife just told me that a bag of rice is now ₦100k plus. Without sounding immodest, I am constrained to say that the men and women that will rescue this country from self-inflicted pains and tears are not born yet.”
