Scientists under the umbrella of The Nigerian Food Sciences and Technology Institute went to inspect markets in Abuja (Utako and Garki Market.) yesterday. The things they discovered are heartbreaking. People who fry akara, puff-puff, yam, meat, fish etc use transformer oil mixed with vegetables or groundnut oil to fry the stuff. Ariel detergent is used to ferment cassava for fufu, fish sellers spray sniper on dry fish to keep flies out. In our abbatoir, tyres and used plastics are used to roast slaughtered animals which are sold in the market.
Please avoid food cooked outside your home if you can. We are veryyyyyyyyyy wicked to ourselves. We can see one of the reasons internal organ failure and cancer have continued to increase . Even young children and adults who live healthily still come down with all sorts of diseases.
My dear colleagues let us help get the message out to the public by creating awareness among our populace!!
Getting it out there is very important via blogs, twitter, radio, TV, CBOs etc !!n
