Apple is now a contaminated fruit to eat! all the ones imported into the country currently are contaminated and have been killing people. the statistics is nation wide and increasing. This message is from nafdac. its not a rumour. |

so it must be true then. But we need a link or do dozens have to die first. |

I got through to a staff of NAFDAC in Abuja, who contacted some of his superiors to find out the truth; he said NAFDAC has not received any such information, but that they would find out. |

The story was forwarded to me too, but i dont think its true. i have not heard about anybody dead over eating apples, the only unfortunate thing is that i forwarded the message to couple of my friends due to panic, i think its a rumour but i guess everybody should wash their fruits before eating though, its quite important |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by Zabu(m): 1:23pm On Sep 24, 2009 |
Well the story might be true after all. A Pastor called me a couple of minutes ago telling me that a member of his church and a Director from NAFDAC in Lagos called him to warn him to stay clear from apple fruits for now due to discovery of poisonous apples recently imported into the country. I think they don't want to go official until investigations are complete. |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by NaijaEcash(m): 1:29pm On Sep 24, 2009 |
I got same message and I googled to check the authenticity but got nothing other than medical practitioners claiming they are yet to get a case of someone getting poisoned through apple. It seems to be a rumour after all. Nobody has been able to confirm the claim that "several dead" |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by DisGuy: 9:06pm On Sep 24, 2009 |
The attention of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has been drawn to the strange GSM text messages being circulated in the country on speculated poisonous killer apples. http://www.nafdac.gov.ng/index.php http://www.nafdac.gov.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=96:public-alert-notice&catid=46:recalls&Itemid=74 |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by DisGuy: 9:07pm On Sep 24, 2009 |
Furthermore, the public is hereby informed that NAFDAC, at least for, now, issues public alert via radio, TV and print media and not by text messages. |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by rasputinn(m): 4:50pm On Sep 25, 2009 |
Yesterday when I started getting the text messages,I just laughed at the gullible people that fell for that prank,could you believe some people were so into it that my own wife who lives in the same home with me actually forwarded it to me ,well for all I care,the rumour must have originated from the marketing department of one of the telcos,do you know how many smss were sent yesterday pertaining to this false story about apples,I'm sure the marketing guys have got their pay raise at the expense of their gullible subscribers Anyway,to re-inforce my conviction that it was all false,as soon as I got back home yesterday,I went straight to the fruit bowl,got me a fresh apple and munched away,my wife was confused |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by k4kenny(f): 5:04pm On Sep 25, 2009 |
@Rasputin you have a point there, imagine how many thousands text messages were esnt over this matter. i'm sure the orange and bananna sellers are also counting their |

@poster you are just a nonsense alarmist |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by xothermik(m): 12:12am On Sep 27, 2009 |
well thats just your own opinion really. indeed i was alarmed when i got the message and thot was doing the humane thing to warn as many as i can. nothing says i cant see the humorous side of it after it appeared to be a hoax. |

APPLE Sellers demonstrate in Lagos by eating Apple - AIT where are apples imported from? The main problem is with our weather Apples should have a sell by date else they'll rot within 3-5 days when exposed |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by Dclique(m): 2:20pm On Sep 28, 2009 |
They endanger their own health. Just to make profit. Na wa o. |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by DisGuy: 2:24pm On Sep 28, 2009 |
Just to make profit? there's nothing wrong with their apples i suppose- they have nothing to fear Its either the communication companies making a killing or the banana, orange, pineapple sellers were jealous! how much do they sell apples? |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by bonnez(m): 2:43pm On Sep 28, 2009 |
NAFDAC has issued a press release denying allegations that its behind the rumours. but the agency says its investigating the possibility. so i'd say hold on till they speak |
Re: Apples In Nigeria Are Now Poisonous To Eat. Several Dead! by dominique(f): 4:09pm On Sep 28, 2009 |
methinks it was a conspiracy between the telecoms companies and the orange, banana and pineapple sellers to put apple out of ciruculation. . . never believed that rumour for a second |
