We need be aware of the danger these genetically enhanced food has on our health . People are dying young , there are more diseases in Nigeria now unlike before. Please advice on what we can do to make an average Nigerian to be aware of this danger ? Or should we leave this up to the government ?

Please advice on what we can do to make an average Nigerian to be aware of this danger ? Or should we leave this up to the government ? First, it is confirmed that the Nigerian government are purely retarded and absolutely useless; hence it is up to us, the citizens to educate each other on what is healthy and what is not. And I'm proud to state that few things are currently being done regarding eating healthy and living longer in Nigeria. There are couple of shows on NTA that are actually designed to promote and stress the importance of identifying healthy food from poison. Finally, I also think that in order for this campaign to be effective, we must discover a better strategy to elevate the poverty level of my people. It is difficult for one to identify healthy food when this individual can't even afford to wipe his or her as s. Hence, it all falls into the poverty level of my people. We must continue to create job opportunities, educate the citizens, and promote better ways of life, which will automatically increase our lifespan. You don't expect a poor society to be finicky when it comes to food selection; in this kind of society, folks usually go with the flow and eat whatever is available. We must also find a way to force our birdbrained government to control the market!

This is a baseless claim 'people are dying young'?? is GM food the cause of Nigeria's atrocious infant mortality or the millions of malaria deaths annually? What are your facts? 'there are more diseases now than before' based on what facts? Because they were classified as 'brief illness' before now and are now being revealed as diseases, you think diseases have increased? Even if diseases have increased, lifestyle changes are the PRIMARY cause of those diseases, coupled with environmental pollution, NOT GM food the majority of Nigerians eat Garri/Maize/Sorghum as staple foods, or are we importing Genetically modified garri now?  What proof do you have of ANY dangers of genetically modified foods, or the quantity/ percentage of such foods consumed in Nigeria? Without any of the above stated pieces of evidence or facts, your assertions cannot be taken seriously - it is mere scare mongering/ 'West' bashing.

@ Debosky I can tell you have no idea of what you are talking about. All these food that you mentioned what are their sources e.g cassava Right! does cassava look the same nowadays ? and when was the last time you were in the hospital ? we have always been an healthy nation , but something must have gone wrong somewhere . I know we are all busy with politics , 419 etc but this an important issue we need to pay attention too. if you want to see the proof go visit nigerian hospital. we all need to know about this , people are been poisoned . Also in the west organic / inorganic are well labelled so that consumers distinguish and make their selection. Right?

inorganic food is not something Nigerians shld be worried about. More people die of hunger everyday in that country than will die of inorganic food poisoning in 10 years.

So because folks die of hunger everyday we shouldn't pay attention to the sources of food that are being made available to the citizens? I just don't get it; the thinking level of some folks are just sappy!

I think we've made ourselve to be worthless in many ways; and this is also one of the reasons why they will forever take advantage and continue to step all over us. We don't get it. Folks will only treat you the way you've presented yourself!
Just because our economy standard is currently weak doesn't mean we should debase our value as human being!

Well, its not a joke to me, I have lost a 31 year old sister to Avanced Cancer of the Ovaries, Lost a 24 year old friend to Diabetis and have a 17 year old cousin undergoing Dialysis for failure of both Kidneys. These are strnage happiness because most of these disease happen at advanced ages but no happen to young people. Most of the research I have done have pointed to changes in our livestyles which include our diet. Yes you have a valid point, people die of hunger, yet people also die from what they eat, it is fast becoming a reality, we cannot shrug it away. Back to the topic, I believe a lot in preventive medicine, it is cheaper and saves a lot of time and lives. We have to learn to eat healthy and exercise more. Eat the right foods, friuts vegetables,and cut down on the fancy fast food. We have the misconception that it is a status thing to eat all those fancy foods but it is erronous, wehave to learn to eat healthy, am glad these days when i see more and more people Working and Jogging in the morning, it helps.
