Big Bull Rice, the complete rice experience
Amidst economic uncertainties, where budgets tighten and expenses are scrutinized, one truth remains evident: the necessity of food transcends all. As people adapt to the fluctuating tides of the economy, it becomes apparent that while many must cut back on other expenses, the purchase of food remains non-negotiable. “People are reducing spending on many things, but not on food,” remarked one interviewee, capturing the sentiment echoed by many. Another highlighted the shift towards quality alternatives for staple foods, emphasising the importance of value over mere price.
These adaptive strategies reflect the resilience of Nigerians as they navigate turbulent economic waters.
In the heart of Nigeria, amidst the challenges of a fluctuating economy, there stands a brand dedicated to providing consistent quality and nourishment to every household: Big Bull Rice.
Precious Nduka, an undergraduate at the University of Lagos, shared her experience: “After numerous lectures in one day, I hastily grabbed a pack of Big Bull Gold N200 for a quick lunch. It’s the perfect choice for my student budget, offering the same essential nutrients I need to fuel my studies. On days when I crave more, the Big Bull Gold 750g pack is my go-to. Big Bull Gold with its high swelling, non-sticky, and stone-free grains, provides convenience without compromising quality.”
Mary Adunni, a young professional managing a demanding career and personal life, mentioned that Big Bull Rice has become her trusted companion in the kitchen. She stated that when it comes to stocking up on essentials, she always opts for the 2.25kg pack without hesitation as it strikes the perfect balance of quantity and quality. She further added that with Big Bull Rice, one can rely on consistent excellence, regardless of the economic climate, and that every meal she prepares using it is not only satisfying but also nutritious.
Mrs. Babajide, a diligent homemaker, relies on Big Bull Rice to nourish her family. She confidently affirms, “Regardless of the pack size, I choose Big Bull for its consistent quality and nutrient-rich grains. The high swelling characteristic is particularly crucial for me as I have a large family. The 10kg pack lasts longer, proving to be a worthwhile investment. With Big Bull, I can feed my loved ones without compromise.”
Big Bull Gold transcends socio-economic barriers, offering its range of SKUs to cater to diverse needs and budgets. Whether you’re a student, a homemaker, or a young professional, Big Bull Rice ensures that quality is never compromised, regardless of the pack size you choose.

The Nigerian food market is currently facing an alarming crisis. As I delved into recent reports, I was overwhelmed by the extent of adulterated foods flooding our markets. Palm oil, a staple in many Nigerian households, has been found laced with dangerous substances like dye, lard, and other harmful additives. These revelations, brought to light by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), have left consumers exposed to severe health risks.
Adamu Abdullahi, the acting executive vice-chairman of the FCCPC, recently raised the alarm about this disturbing trend. According to Abdullahi, profit-driven traders are compromising consumer safety by contaminating products with hazardous additives. The consequences are dire, consumers risk facing serious health issues such as abdominal pain, brain damage, liver disease, and even cardiac arrest.These substances pose significant health risks, highlighting the urgent need for rigorous food safety measures.
In a time when Nigerian consumers are bombarded with adulterated food products, there is a search for brands that have remained committed to integrity and consumer health. One of those brands is Golden Terra Oil. Their dedication to purity and health has garnered trust from many, offering not just a safe cooking oil, but a promise of well-being in every drop.
Golden Terra Oil’s commitment to consumer safety goes beyond rigorous quality control. The brand invests heavily in sourcing the finest raw materials and employing advanced processing techniques to ensure that every bottle of Golden Terra Soya Oil meets the highest standards of purity and nutrition. Their transparency initiatives, including detailed labelling and consumer education, empower consumers to make informed choices about their health.
It’s a brand trusted by mothers for their families and chosen by health-conscious individuals for its purity and health benefits. A good oil has higher levels of good fats than bad fats. Bad fats, known as saturated fats, should be avoided, while good fats, such as polyunsaturated fats including Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, are beneficial for health. These components are known to help reduce cholesterol levels, support cardiovascular health, and provide essential antioxidants to combat free radicals. The oil is also recommended by cardiologists, including Dr. Adanijo Monisola, for its heart-protective properties.
Chief Marketing Officer, TGIGroup, Probal Bhattacharya emphasised the brand’s dedication to purity. “At Golden Terra Oil, we understand the critical importance of purity in our products. We are committed to providing only the highest quality oil, free from any adulterants or harmful substances.
