Sobre este Trap
A 2025 report from Lagos and Ogun markets found local rice being destoned and re-bagged into sacks of famous foreign brands, with the neat rice selling for more than rice sold plainly as Abakaliki. In 2018 Ebonyi sealed the Abakaliki Rice Mill and several shops over adulterated rice brought in from other states, then reopened it and called the local rice safe. Buy at the mill area from a trader your host recommends, open the bag, and look at the grain before you pay.
