Don’t Tamper With Poor Man’s Ponmo by speshsworld(m): 7:51am On Sep 13, 2014
Who is plotting to make the poor man’s
delicacy, ponmo (animal hides and skin),
disappear from his dining table? The
minister of agriculture, Dr Akinwunmi
Adesina, seems to be a primary suspect.

Recently, in Ibadan, he called for a law
against the sale and widespread
consumption of the animal product. He said
that livestock farmers stood a good chance
of making high dollar returns if hides and
skin were tanned into leather. The minister
expressed the hope that the National
Assembly would accelerate work on the
enabling law that would make the
consumption of the product illegal.

Already, the process of dollarisation of cassava by which farmers are enticed to concentrate efforts on producing for export so as to earn dollars is making the by-products – garri, lafu, fufu and so on — inaccessible in the market. Thus, garri is threatening to be beyond the poor man’s reach. Now it is ponmo’s turn, no thanks to the frenzied craze for the almighty dollar.

Pomo isn't only for poor people. Apart from the fact that it's cheap as in20 naira for small one and 50naira for big one, you can use it to enrich your food without meat
