i decieded to share this news with nlers,becos it's going to be big problem 4 me and many others who eat bread everyday, what i dnt understand is why did the fg not think of a better way to encourage the cassava bread eating, than raising tax, the consumers will end up paying more. I dnt mind eating the cassava bread, but should first be made available and cheap. This our leaders are jst heartless, causing inflation everyday, and they want the naira to grow. Yeye people |

So so sad for the poor among us. Am not completely supporting the govt even though they may be trying to encourage local production but why should a 15% increase in cost of wheat make the Bakers increase the cost of bread by 20% when other costs involved in baking the bread are still constant? Is Wheat the only factor in making bread? Is there no way these prices can be regulated since they have turned themselves into a cartel? |
Re: Price Of Bread Increased By 20% by kumbalo(m): 2:06pm On Jul 19, 2012 |
i knew it would come to this when the FG announced that wheat importattion be levied. These people haven't made a single people-friendly policy in the last few months. No amount of talk here would change anything....Let's just keep praying. |

One week, one trouble for Nigeria. On the bright side, this may create jobs for some of our graduates from the agriculture department. |
Re: Price Of Bread Increased By 20% by paulcr7: 2:28pm On Jul 19, 2012 |
Pls lets try to understand these people.currently,wheat is the major raw material used in bread making.what the FG is trying to do is to introduce cassava because Nigeria is importing wheat and cassava is locally produced.The 15% increase in import duties of wheat is to reduce the quantity of wheat and supplement it with cassava(since its abundant locally).if the 60:40(wheat:cassava)is achieved,then the price of bread will either fall back to normal or even reduce its price.The issue now according to the chairman is now the quality.if the quality can be retained,then y not just endure the price increase till the FG policy is implemented.NIGERIA,GIANT OF AFRICA |

These reforms we would never understand now till the time comes. The reforms are for our own good and we should embrace them with all our heart and mind. FG is working and doing its possible best to ensure that Nigeria is better place. |
Re: Price Of Bread Increased By 20% by crackhouse(m): 2:40pm On Jul 19, 2012 |
I strongly believe that the FG is trying to enrich sb somewhere through the introduction of this cassava bread. Don't be surprise when u hear that the Fed. Govt have given Mr. A the license to be the sole supplier of cassava flour in Nigeria as they did for Dangote. |

According to Wikipedia: Cassava roots and leaves should not be consumed raw because they contain two cyanogenic glucosides, linamarin and lotaustralin. These are decomposed by linamarase, a naturally-occurring enzyme in cassava, liberating hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Cassava varieties are often categorized as either sweet or bitter, signifying the absence or presence of toxic levels of cyanogenic glucosides, respectively. The so-called sweet (actually not bitter) cultivars can produce as little as 20 milligrams of cyanide (CN) per kilogram of fresh roots, whereas bitter ones may produce more than 50 times as much (1 g/kg). Cassavas grown during drought are especially high in these toxins. A dose of 40 mg of pure cassava cyanogenic glucoside is sufficient to kill a cow.[citation needed] Excess cyanide residue from improper preparation is known to cause acute cyanide intoxication, and goiters, and has been linked to ataxia (a neurological disorder affecting the ability to walk, also known as konzo). It has also been linked to tropical calcific pancreatitis in humans, leading to chronic pancreatitis. Societies that traditionally eat cassava generally understand some processing (soaking, cooking, fermentation, etc.) is necessary to avoid getting sick. Symptoms of acute cyanide intoxication appear four or more hours after ingesting raw or poorly processed cassava: vertigo, vomiting, and collapse. In some cases, death may result within one or two hours. It can be treated easily with an injection of thiosulfate (which makes sulfur available for the patient's body to detoxify by converting the poisonous cyanide into thiocyanate).[35] "Chronic, low-level cyanide exposure is associated with the development of goiter and with tropical ataxic neuropathy, a nerve-damaging disorder that renders a person unsteady and uncoordinated. Severe cyanide poisoning, particularly during famines, is associated with outbreaks of a debilitating, irreversible paralytic disorder called konzo and, in some cases, death. The incidence of konzo and tropical ataxic neuropathy can be as high as 3% in some areas." Brief soaking (four hours) of cassava is not sufficient, but soaking for 18–24 hours can remove up to half the level of cyanide. Drying may not be sufficient, either. The reliance on cassava as a food source and the resulting exposure to the goitrogenic effects of thiocyanate has been responsible for the endemic goiters seen in the Akoko area of southwestern Nigeria. People dependent on cassava risk cyanide poisoning and malnutrition diseases such as kwashiorkor and endemic goiter.
