Can you please make reference to one death case recorded in Nigeria as a result of eating frozen turkey or chicken?

Its like the government want Nigerians to start eating turkey in their dream since its out of reach for most Nigerians due to the cost.

As old as i am i have only bought life turkey once and i can imagine how many people would be able to cough out 15/25k to buy just one life turkey even if i believe frozen chicken shoud be avoided since we can get cheap ones for 1k but for turkey i dont support the ban.

These countries exporting it here are not evil hence will never export any contaminated product but when you hear of spoilt ones been brought in what really happens is that customs must have seized them and maybe released them days after and because these traders will want to recoup their money will still bring them in.

I hate this rubbish....there are people who needs this meat for the festive period, why not share it out to them...and believe you me,most customs officials take these "loots" home to their families.

Isaactop9:

China is battling to lift the ban on their dairy products after it was found that batches of their exported products were contaminated...I can go on and on with links and references of banned livestock products..these are governments that take no chances in the safety of their people. But when it is replicated here, the reverse is the case. what a country!

My major problem with this "destruction" policy is the sheer wastage it represents. I mean, wouldn't it be better if they confiscated such products and distribute them to the various prisons across the country where we have starving inmates??

Wisegeek01:
I'm pretty sure the'd take some home"

Chaleeee:
How did they destroy it? By frying it?

pDude:
You Nigerians should be happy about this news. You have no idea of how or where these poultry products come from or are packaged, or how long they have been kept for. All some of you know is to chop turkey.

Why do you think that there is a sudden upsurge in organ failure among Nigerians? Like hunters say: it is not every meat that the trap catches that is meat.
