Just when I was thinking the house committee on issues of health and agriculture was going to call for a public enquiry in order for us to have a clear picture of what is happening in Shoprite, they ministry just issued an order.

This is a really stupid initiative, backed by nothing more than the half-digested scaremongering of the paranoid and scientifically ignorant. The same ignoramuses coming on here and praising this move will have no qualms about going into any restaurant in America and consuming the very same GMOs they're claiming to be so worried about on this thread, yet won't stop to consider how risky any GMO food can be when compared to the fly-covered, unrefrigerated raw meat and sold in most Nigerian markets, or the rice, yams and cassava grown by local illiterate farmers under completely unmonitored conditions! How exactly do you know that the tasty pounded yam you're eating in your local "buka" wasn't irrigated with arsenic-tainted water, and the "ewedu" or "egusi" you're consuming with it doesn't contain dangerous amounts of lead? If that doesn't trouble you in the least, what right do you have pointing fingers at a firm like Shoprite for carrying GMO food?

The main thing this initiative will "achieve" is provide new opportunities for corrupt public officials to shake down companies like Shoprite for bribes. Even if the average food safety official in Nigeria had the level of biological and nutritional knowledge required to be effective - highly unlikely, given how much more nepotism and "federal character" will count than competence in recruitment - the greed of the typical Nigerian public official will ensure that the only difference consumers will see is an increase in food costs, as the retailers are forced to pass on the costs of paying off parasitical officials.

It's about time,they've been killing people silently. I bought a kilogram each of garlic,cucumber,ginger and apples two months ago,we finished eating the apples,but a month after,those things didn't get rotten a bit which shows that they were genetically modified. Most of their products are GMO which is very unhealthy.
Exactly ma'am...can you imagine. They have some not so good effect on the long run. I'll advise you stick to trusted sources.

Not all GMO's are bad.
All the apples sold in Nigeria are GMOs. They are modified not to have viable seeds so that nobody can replant them

There's absolutely nothing wrong with GM crops or foods. Even Nobel laureates have said there's no scientific evidence that to show anything wrong with GM foods.

Organic? Yeah....... Use that to feed 200 million people.

Evidence? Concrete ones please. Not research by GreenPiss and Co. Independent research.

What you bought were products designed to have a long shelf life. Same way there tomatoes made for the restaurant industry which is different from household consumed tomatoes.

I'm waiting for scientific evidence to disprove me of the side effects. The likes of Nature, The Cell etc.

What is this? What the hell is this?! GMOs are safe to eat, and this debate has been laid to rest a long time ago (among credible scientists, at least). Their safety has been affirmed by every major worldwide health organization.

Research shows us that GMOs make up at least 70% of the feed for hundreds of billions of farm animals, year after year for 29 years with no negative effects.

Source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentine/2014/09/17/the-debate-about-gmo-safety-is-over-thanks-to-a-new-trillion-meal-study/#2395e842ca93

Here are 1,783 different scientific studies affirming the safety of GMOs:
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/07388551.2013.823595

Now don't get me wrong, genetic modification is neither inherently safe nor harmful but rather, a tool that can be utilized for good or for evil. Regulation and scrutiny for each individual case is necessary but fear-mongering is not. They would prove to be an important tool in feeding the ever-growing world population.
