North Should Stop Exporting Donkeys To The East. Pictures Included by NafeesaAA(f): 6:13am On Jul 12, 2014
Stop exporting donkeys to East

Yesterday six trailers all loaded with donkeys and old horses entered a filling station to buy diesel.

I asked the drivers their destination and they said they were heading toward Ebonyi,Enugu and Anambra states.

The animals were going to work in the farms,they were for human consumption.

I was sad.

For a long time donkeys were taken to the east only to be eaten. This is bad trade. Donkeys are cheap compared to cows,some satanic merchants use to buy them and butcher them and sell the meat to unsuspecting public as cow meat in the East.

Weekly Trust visited Ebonyi last year and featured a detailed story with pictures in a donkey abattoir and we saw middle men buying the meat and taking them to towns and villages to sell. A woman confessed she was not telling her customers it was donkey meat.

If people are willingly buying donkey meat to eat I have no quarrel with that,it is their stomach afterall.

But the majority of consumers had no idea what they were being sold by those unscrupulous elements,this is a criminal act.

In Katsina a man was sentenced 3 years for selling donkey suya as cow. It is time the governments in the Eastern states pay attention to this. A lot of people are eating donkey meats in restaurants without knowing. Early this year a scandal broke out in Europe where sausages were sold to public with horse DNA.

In the North government should stop exportation of donkeys outside the region. The animal which is used in farms as means of rural transportation is gradually been wiped away.

A donkey is slow to procreate and if the trend continues there will be no donkeys in Northern Nigeria in another two decades.

A similar scandal shook Europe some years back.

It is criminal to sell a wrong product under false pretence.

anü jakï. those days we were usually watchful to ensure we purchase beef not donkey meat.

By the way, is there anything bad in eating horses, donkeys, zebras, etc. They are good source of protein after all, the UN is encouraging people to start eating insects(cockroaches...lol) because of their high protein content.

The state Govt needs to look into this seriously.Remembered the Suya man in Port Harcourt that sells vultures as chicken suya to unsuspecting consumers.

A.K.A Kaya meat.
I don't go beyond my chicken , turkey and cow meat.
There are more complex implications that can spring off from eating meat from all these animals that many do not know.

Did you read where the said most people buy the meat thinking they are cow meat?
So it is now a case of demand and supply but when an Igbo man sells you an inferior product that suits your status as a wretched man you call it something else?
