Trans-Amadi Slaughter, the main abattoir of Port Harcourt. At the slaughter, animals are killed in the open, their blood spill into the waterways below and their skin is burned by the flames of old tires, which creates thick clouds of black smoke over the city. Fish had been the traditional source of protein in the Niger Delta, but as fish stocks have dwindled due to pollution from the oil industry and over fishing, meat is becoming more common

this is disgusting!!!!!
no person should have to eat meat that come from these disgusting places.
na wa ooooooooo
im sick.

more abatoirs are needed obviously

Wow, that is a Stygian nightmarish scene straight from the bowels of hell.

If all that blood ultimately finds its way into the ocean, large numbers of sharks will be attracted to all beaches within a 3 mile radius of the outflow point, ready to feast on anyone in the water.

Why all the witnesses? or spectators? Hanging around like vultures to pick up entrails for their dinner abi wetin?

Meat na meat jare.

all these ajebotas

FL are you telling me you can eat this kind of thing?
OH NO!

I ate it for many years.

I even watched while we killed the meat we caught on the farm. eran sunsun. esp those squirrel looking thing, yummy.

youre kidding, right?
yeah ill eat something we kill and prepare ourselves, at least it wouldnt have been touched by a gazillion dirty hands and kept in dirty places like those above.
i cant even stand it!
what do you mean meat is meat? hell naw!

I'll rather eat those meat up there than the meat infested with chemicals over here.

No matter how hard they clean it, its still dirty.

I heard that KFC chickens have cancer causing substance [carcinogen] in it. BE CAREFUL WITH 'EM CHICKENS

I like this one. You sort of step on the meat, clean your legs with the blood, then sell to people.

Even in countries much smaller than Nigeria, there are health and quality inspectors poring over goods for sale in the market. For us, anything goes.

Does anyone knpw where I can buy ponmo for thanksgiving?

If you vist Nigerian slaughters you will not eat any meat from Nigeria. Every rich and poor in PH buy meat from these slaughters
That is why you are adviced to wash and cook them properly b4 eating.
Nigeria boils meat to soft, meaning boiling all the madness off.
Not onyibo that eats them raw in the name of half done or roasted beef, lamb,etc

There are some clean/healthy slaughters in Port Harcourt; i know of one in the Choba area.

From the above photographs, it is obvious that the hair of those animals is burnt off by throwing the carcasses unto fires fueled by used tires, which contain a multitude of carcinogenic compounds that endanger consumers just as much as does the revolting squalor amid which the animals are butchered. Little wonder that cancer is fast becoming one of the leading causes of premature death in Nigeria.

On C'mon are you talking abt the sluaghter in choba area or another one?
Unless there has been a transformation there, but my last visit to Nigeria i always go there every saturday to buy meat. Its all the same, always count my steps, coz you dont know where to match on. In fact when i think of going there on a rainy saturday, omg!!! it make me weak.

Someone asked an important question on critical thinking here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-357020.0.html

There are huge problems with our style of thinking (or lack of). This pictures don't depict normal thought processes.
Thinking is an art that can be taught.

I drive past slaughter on my way to work everyday. The photos do not even do the place justice. Thick clouds of black smoke from huge bonfires tower in the sky. Through the thick, billowing smoke you can see people walking around, breathing in the smoke and sooty air. I see women with babies on their backs weaving their way through the bonfires.

My friends and I call it 'Goat flaring'.
The surrounding water is black with debris and ash. The houses are black. The people are black and I'm willing to bet their lungs are as black as coal miners'.
Ever since I moved to port harcourt in 2006, I've wondered where the 'garden city' name came from. Certainly it's not the port harcourt i see everyday.

One cannot underestimate the hazard caused to all residents of PH by the unethical practices that go on at slaughter.

I would guesstimate that at least 30% of the meat consumed in PH has passed through slaughter (unless a new abbatoir has been opened recently)

We know goats roasted with tyres can cause madness. I am guessing the same applies to cattle.

I feel sorry for all the villages who live downstream of the river from Slaughter. One can only imagine the pollution from blood, carcasses and tyres which drifts downstream to pollute their waters.

This is a clarion call to Governor Amaechi to set up a Food Standards Agency to monitor practices at Slaughter, Oil Mill/Choba and any other place where food is handled in commercial quantities.

Well na una get una mouth sha!  yankee is yankee! naija is naija!

. . .Den wen we die of grikpa, we go blame winches.

If U don't want 2buy meat in parts nd pieces, then I suggest U become a vegetarian else, buy a live cow or goat or wateva that tickles ur fancy. Kill nd prepare it with ur own hands.
Once in 9ja, any meat that is bought 4rm the open market, Im 99.9% damn sure that meat has passed thru' an abbattoir of that sort depicted in the pix above.
