What to check before you buy
Open a corner or ask to see a sample: check for stones, broken grains and weevils before paying.
Confirm the bag is a full 50kg; some sellers repack into lighter bags with the same branding.
Compare short-grain and long-grain versions of the same brand, as prices can differ by over ₦10,000.
Big markets like Mile 12 or Daleko are usually cheaper than neighbourhood shops and online stores.
