To help sustain your job or to increase the chances of getting a job, your brothers and sisters can eat food that will kill them at 40 unabale to procreate or give birth to sound children. that is what adesina is doing, he wants to satisfy his masters in the rockafella foundation to save his face and job. this is a good chance for you agric people, raise money and start yourself a backyard farming.

What Nigerians should be fighting for is a strong and unbiased environmental regulatory body just like EPA of USA,infact gmfoods should be the least of our worries cos the rate at wich toxic junks are been rleased to nigerias atmosphere na wahala.not all gmfoods are bad infact the world can't do without them for now.what we need is regulations let's accept the ones that are not toxic and filter out the ones that are toxic simple.buh trying to say no to gm products will bring us back to square one (importing foods).My own opinion sha o

while we point out the dangers of this devils and their followers' plans, what are the counter measures we can take? like how can we begin to teach on how to grow food from natural seeds from our villages and backyard? this is the only way we can counter this. and there is no other problems to discuss without resolving the issue of having natural and healthy food.

allen's growing power. he shows are to grow natural foods without taking so much space. the best counter with protesting GMO in nigeria is to teach the alternative on how to make soil and grow our own foods. very soon GMO will be buying lands enmass with prices that nigerians and nigerian kings won't be able to turn down. it is left to us to take care of ourselves.

The Rockefeller Foundation’s is funding and developing anti-fertility vaccines intended for “mass-scale distribution.” A soft-kill depopulation agenda. Akinwumi Adesina who worked for the Rockefeller Foundation is the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development for Nigeria until his appointment as Minister in 2010, he was Vice President of Policy and Partnerships for the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa. The illuminati have a plan for Nigeria

Again, there is no scientifically backed or peer reviewed research showing that GMOs are unhealthy and dangerous to humans.

You care much about no population control but don't care much about kids.. Why does Naija have millions of kids every year and don't provide for them? Why are 10million Naija kids not enrolled in school?

this is not the solution, how can we be that docile, this is our country for christs sake, why can't we assemble thr masses and enlighten them then together push this filth out of our country, what most Africans never understand is that if you leave them a yard they will come to two yards next, because to them we are docile idiots that can't even hold our fort. they don't really care because to them they just need to buy up our leaders and then go ahead and take or do whatever they want disregarding us.
Until we learn to amass and punish the people in power we will be used and abused from all angles.

That is what they want people to believe but all evidences point to the contrary. Mosanto is known to have plenty of money to lobby and bribe scientists to get favorable reports about its seeds and method. Please do your findings.

How did we give up our Nation to a bunch of money hungry,myopic and evil set of political hijackers...these people are evil-from the presidency to the Governors...everyone knows the evil of GMO foods why are they llowing greedy chinese farmers to grow the cros and sell here when they can't do that in China.

Nigerians must form a people's coalition to resist and push out these bunch of evil men.

Why the rush for GMOs? The last time i spoke about this adesina guy and his atrocities, they nearly killed me on this forum. Nigerians are dying of ignorance, we are already bringing in chicken from crazy countries, something south Africa is fighting with their lives. Gej's greed and incompetence will kill us all.

It is estimated that over 80% of
processed foods now contain
genetically modified organisms, also
called GMOs (source) . The rapidity
with which these frankenfoods have
invaded and continue to expand within
our food supply is nothing short of
terrifying. For example, Monsanto’s
Roundup Ready GMO sugar beets were
first introduced to the market in 2008.
Now, a few short years later, at least
95% of the sugar beets grown in the
United States are GMO with over 50%
of the white sugar coming from GMO
beets – NOT sugar cane which is
what the majority of consumers
assume!
While most world countries opt for full
disclosure on product labels, the US
still does not require any information
to warn consumers of lurking GMOs.
For parents, it is imperative to source
and buy foods free of GMOs as much
as possible as the long term effects on
humans, especially growing children, is
completely unknown.
Buying from trusted local producers
and seeking products that are organic
or have the Non-GMO Project Verified
label is the best way to achieve this
goal until manufacturers are finally
required to disclose the truth on
ingredient labels.
If you are still unconvinced that the
effort and expense required to avoid
GMOs for your family is worth it,
below is a list of 11 scientific reasons
why you should reconsider.
Processed food containing GMOs is
not really food – it is a chemistry
experiment. Be sure your family opts
out. Your children deserve better than
to be hapless guinea pigs for the
industrial food system.
Scientific Reasons to
Avoid GMOs
1) A study of GMOs reported in the
June 2013 issue of the peer-
reviewed Journal of Organic
Systems involved research conducted
over 22.7 weeks using 168 newly
weaned pigs in a commercial U.S.
piggery. One group of 84 pigs ate a
diet that incorporated genetically
modified (GM) soy and corn, and the
other group of 84 pigs ate an
equivalent non-GM diet. The pigs that
ate the GM diet had a higher rate of
severe stomach inflammation – 32
percent of GM-fed pigs compared to
12 percent of non-GM-fed pigs (see
photo above). The inflammation was
worse in GM-fed males compared to
non-GM fed males by a factor of 4.0,
and GM-fed females compared to non-
GM-fed females by a factor of 2.2.
(Source)
2) In 2012, researchers found that
female rats fed GMOs in the form of
Roundup Ready-tolerant corn
developed large tumors and
dysfunction of the pituitary gland;
males also developed tumors and
exhibited pathologies of the liver and
kidney (Food and Chemical Toxicology
2012).
3) Scientists at the Russian Academy
of Sciences reported between 2005
and 2006 that female rats fed
Roundup Ready-tolerant GM soy
produced excessive numbers of
severely stunted pups with more than
half of the litter dying within three
weeks, and the surviving pups
completely sterile. (Source)
4) In 2005, scientists studying GMOs
at the Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organization in
Canberra, Australia reported that a
harmless protein in beans (alpha-
amylase inhibitor 1) transferred to
peas via genetic engineering caused
inflammation in the lungs of mice and
provoked sensitivities to other proteins
in the diet (Ho MW. Transgenic pea
that made mice ill. Science in Society
29, 28-29, 2006).
5) From 2002 to 2005, scientists at
the Universities of Urbino, Perugia
and Pavia in Italy published reports
indicating that GM soy affected cells
in the pancreas, liver and testes of
young mice (Science in Society 29,
26-27, 2006).
6) In 2004, Monsanto’s secret
research dossier on GMOs showed
that rats fed MON863 GM corn
developed serious kidney and blood
abnormalities ( GMWatch, 23 April
2004.)
7) In 1998, Dr. Arpad Pusztai and
colleagues formerly of the Rowett
Institute in Scotland reported damage
in every organ system of young rats
fed GM potatoes containing snowdrop
lectin, including a stomach lining twice
as thick as controls (Contaminants
and Toxins, (J P F D’Mello ed.),
Scottish Agricultural College,
Edinburgh, CAB International, 2003).
cool Also in 1998, scientists in Egypt
found similar effects in the guts
of mice fed Bt potato (Fares NH and
El-Sayed AK. Fine structural changes
in the ileum of mice fed on
dendotoxin-treated potatotes and
transgenic potatoes. Natural Toxins,
1998, 6, 219-33; also “Bt is toxic” by
Joe Cummins and Mae-Wan Ho, ISIS
News 7/8, February 2001, ISSN:
1474-1547 (print), ISSN: 1474-1814
(online) http://www.i-sis.org.uk/
isisnews.php Agricultural
Biotechnology 2006, www.ISAAA.org ).
9) The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration had data on the
adverse effects of GMOs dating back
to early 1990s showing that rats fed
GM tomatoes with antisense gene to
delay ripening had developed small
holes in their stomachs (Pusztai A,
Bardocz S and Ewen SWB. Genetically
modified foods: Potential human
health effects. In Food Safety:
Contaminants and Toxins, (J P F
D’Mello ed.), Scottish Agricultural
College, Edinburgh, CAB International,
2003).
10) In 2002, Aventis company (later
Bayer Cropscience) submitted data to
UK regulators showing that chickens
fed glufosinate-tolerant GM corn
Chardon LL were twice as likely to die
compared with controls ( Food Safety:
Contaminants and Toxins (CABI
Publishing 2003 also Novotny E.
Animals avoid GM food, for good
reasons. Science in Society 21, 9-11,
2004).
11) Testing by Monsanto itself has
found that rats eating GM maize
(MON863) develop smaller kidneys
and show startling changes in blood
chemistry. One blood change included
an increase in white blood cell count
which demonstrates that the GM food
elicited an immune reaction by the
body.
