Meat with no nutrition? That's unhealthy if you ask me.
Also, Nigeria stands chance of exporting some goods but Oil.
This is a nice initiative if you ask me. Moreover, leather exportation rewards the livestock farmer more financially than processing and sale of ponmon.

If finally this initiative is implemented and livestock(ponmon) farmers/exporters start earning huge Dollars and cool cash. I see ranch owners showing up pretty quick.
Ranch owning/farming will be hot cake then.

chizobad1: i no want leather! Na by force?! D ponmo go turn to leather 4 my belle. Make govt just collect my the physics from my nyansh dry am. Thnk u.

chulla12: BIG MYTH that pomo has no nutritional value.

Asides protein, cow hide has significant amounts of Vitamin D.

CFCfan:
GEJ wan put sand inside country man garri

Mondisweets: these people have the right to chopping kpomo he cannot take that away from them

Obiagelli: Heard this 2yrs ago. Ban the damn thing already. We should be producing and exporting leather instead of eating kpomo that has been smoked with burning tyres.

TrollMan: POMO is of No nutritional value, I don't know why peeps eat that “thing” to start with. A very healthy and agricultural move by the federal government.




TMan.

Look at him crying. LOL!

Go and learn how to construct correct sentences. Ode!

sammieguze: just a joke am sure.

Just another avenue to spoke the poor people.

Is leather the only thing excitable in the country?

What has they done on the wide arrays of mineral resources lying fallow in the country?

Abeg abeg.... If na joke, make them stop am o.

19naia: I miss Pomo Ooo! What kind of Economic ploy kills one market to make room for another? The real solution is to leave Pomo alone and put investments into Leather hides production and expanding the herd stocks of Nigeria to handle the leather demand... If the people truly demand leather, they will then shift their purchases to leather and see Pomo supply dwindle... Or a balance of the two Pomo and leather can coexist... This Banishment of Pomo thing is what small minds do, they wield power as in banning all kinds of things.. They don't wield intelligence to make both work out for even greater dollar yield in the general economy... Banning Pomo will destroy a market and lose jobs.. And when people hungry for Pomo come time to vote, politicians will wonder how Iya Rugbudu the Pomo seller who was put out of business and into poverty, got elected president by promising Pomo Dinners for all the nations people and also Oyinbo who come visit in Nigeria..

chulla12:

Depends on differing tastes. Americans tend to eat more of the pig skin but use cow skin for leather.

In Nigeria, can pig hide and other less eaten animals be made into significant quantities of leather? Even if not, there has to be a way to ration cow skin for eating vs leather instead of outright bans.

All I am saying is that government decisions should be in line with cultural tastes. In a way I'm not even sure that leather is so essential to clothing or the economy when Nigeria can also manufacture faux leather (as we see coming from china).

all4naija: Smh...! I smell burning animal skin in the air. Please, stop supporting bad practices.

Afghanistan: Kai, elkewwty, bootybuttchic, wetin man go con dey chop like this na?
