twerkjack:
why is dat some nigerians are too freakin dumb and ask silly questions. They pointed out that chemicals contained in the food are harmful to u yet ur still here askin rubbish questions. Dya think they were that stupid or actin out of sheer wickedness to destroy goods worth 30 million if it was safe to be consumed? Reason abeg!

Kutunban:
My opinion as an animal scientists, all illegal agricultural produce confiscated should be processed into feeds like the frozen turkey. It should had been converted to meat meal as an ingredient for broilers, pullets, and all sorts of farm animal because it has high crude protein, so that we can boost our livestock sector than just destroying it. We need to be proactive in this country oh.

SeverusSnape:

See this new Nairalander wanting to show her self by ranting... must you insult to make your point?...Please act civil next time. Thanks

And those turkeys are not harmful, what about the canned fishes we consume?...are they not also preserved with chemicals, Drinks etc.

Toks2008:


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

omenka:
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??

Besto:


they took all home. .

anytime I go my custom friend huz..I always return bak wit 2carton of assorted turkey...foc

DaBullIT:


Forgive her for she knows not how angry her comment has made people. I didn't even think about canned fish, milk, and other canned products. I like your brain you go fit borrow me ?

SeverusSnape:
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.

UncleSnr:

Okay.. Compare your health with that capital and tell me which is more valuable?

DaBullIT:


I like your reasoning , critical , realistic and the truth , Before confiscating & destroying imported items , do we have the capacity to produce ? A very wise man said a bird in hand is better than 20 on the fence , we can't produce enough Turkey for our own consumption but those who bring they destroy it ,after looting to their own shops that is...

Why won't Turkey be expensive , nothing wrong with buying for less than 3k in Nigeria , but those whose goods were burnt without insurance to pay will increase the price to recover losses

The same goes for rice , in Indonesia or is it China hardly would you see a swamp that isn't rice plantation , Nigeria does not have any rice processing plant , does not have world class plantation , despite the vast land we have , yet they ban import of rice

How many functioning /government supported textile factories do we have ? Yet they seize and burn textiles imported at loss to importers

Meanwhile Guns are getting to boko haram from Niger republic , and other African counties , immigration and customs don't apprehend them , is it because weapons are not consumables ?

Food for thought


Oh and somebody said chemicals and preservatives is why they banned importation of turkey. Let me ask you , Did any organization or institution carry out tests on the imports ? Was it a open test or the ones they conducted after envelopes changed hands ?

The dried fish and crayfish you buy do you know how they are preserved , Eja panla to stubborn , Yoruba/Oyo people get the picture I'm trying to paint here , the fish is mostly hard as rock , big sizes , bony , you go fear jaws of that fish . do you know how they were caught / preserved ?

Taritari or gamalin is usually used to catch those fishes in large quantities and they are sun dried , but Nafdac can't do anything about that can they ? Neither can federal government.

A country where not everyone has pure portable water at their disposal. People still drink from streams even in rural areas

A country where there's no public sewer , even that well water you are drinking is contagious , so what's all the fuss about Turkey ?


Cotonou sells what they consume in their country to Nigeria ,once they offload from ships they don't add more preservatives why ban or destroy the consignment


Food for thought

twerkjack:
look at this thing formin elder. I've been on nairaland longer than u judgin from ur account, just with a different account. Back to topic: dya think any one will be so uncivil... As to destroy goods worth that much if they weren't harmful? If u weren't as judgy as u are for a second and have a little confidence in ur country. If u heard dat dis was done by customs in the U.S, ȋ̝̊̅̄
Bet ur response would've been different. Ppl like u annoy me so much sometimes ȋ̝̊̅̄
Just can't help myself from reactin negatively.

sorepco:
what are you saying? did you not read where the customs officer said that certain dangerous chemicals were added on the meat to preserve it? these chemicals can cause cancer.[color=#990000][/color]

SeverusSnape:

You sound pained... did your boyfriend dump you, please continue reacting "negatively"...I love your negativity.
