All this akara sellers and food vendors use well water and firewood to cook. The plastic theyuse Iin fetching water in the well has green fungai because they think it's not necessary to wash it


some of them don't close their Wells

Consider your health too. Buying firewood from the market and carrying it long distances on your head to the place you want to cook is stressful and damaging to your joints.

Beding down to start breaking or piecing the firewood is another health hazard then setting it together with the charcoal and then preparing the foodstuffs and transferring it to the pot.haba!

it's not worth the stress and your health. One log of wood is heavy on its own talk more of carrying several logs of wood on your head to your destination sad

I don't know why Africans Like blaming the West for all of their irresposnsibilities and their inability to change with the times or develop.smh.i just taya

In a country were more than 70% of its citizens live below $1 per day, now, tell me how they can afford to buy gas and den refill when they can barely buy the food stuffs that will be cooked on that gas. these people can not afford a 2 square meal per day, na gas dem go come buy, majority of these people live in a 1room apartment, na gas be dere priority?


Please were do u refill ur own gas for 8hundred naira? Becaue I know how much I refill my 8kg with. + I can last me 3months, btw, I only boil hot water with it, apart from d hot water, I cook on the average of 10times per week. Now imagine a family of 6 (this I for rich and average family) because dose kind poor people de born upto 8kids,some na 6kids u now come add the papa and mama, ee go come be 10 or 8, and these people will try to eat like 3tmes per day meaning that bad as ee bad, them must cook @least 3times per day,+ warming of food, assume u re cooking 2cups of rice for 10mins, how long do u think it will take to cook 10cups of rice so that it will @least serve the large family? The longer it takes, the higher the qauntity of gas consumed.


Now as an average naija family that I come from, my parents spends upto 5k on gas per month, I don't live with them, my 2sisters are married, my younger bro does not lve with them, yet they consume that much.






Tell me how many families can afford to use gas in naija? Or u think we no get sense? No one likes to waste or suffer, if gas is affordable to all, I bet u, many people will use it. But its not, and they make do with what is available and affordable, its as simple as that.



Let me not talk of electric stove earlier mentioned because u and I know the situation of power in this country, so, don't even go there.

I see you are still holding on to your beliefs so obstinately with the excuse of affordability. Kerosene to is affordable mind you


we really need to protect our environment. The smoke emanating from firewood puts others at risk too health wise.

I might not eat your food but I'm passing by.inhaling the smell of the smoke puts me at risk. If you have no consideration for your health what of the public and people passing by on the streets inhaling all that including asthmatic patients

How do u compare a man who does not have money to go to skul to a man who does not also have money and his govt provides his tuition?


How do u compare a man who has a business idea but has no money to start up and approaches either a. Bank or the govt for a start up loan only to be told to bring his head for collateral? And a man were funds are already mapped out by his govt begging people to come and take the money to invest? (Talk of credit cards and all that)?


Please u people should stop all these una nonsense comparisons and see the real thing, reason well, please leave ur house one day, take a stroll around so many naija homes and streets and see how people live, see how they survive,



U can only live when u can survive, if u can't survive then u re dead already.

it is the work of government to provide a conducive environment were businesses can thrive and the health of people are not jeopardized in trying to survive.

It's rather unfortunate that the ministry of health is doing nothing about issues like this. This is where the ministry of health, nafdac and other food agencies should step in to help this people as well as enlighten them. That's their work and that's why they're paid with tax payers money and not individuals . Look at oyinbos.they care about what they consume

Please when u re ready to indulge in a constructive arguments, please alert me.

Just listen to urself, we should forget the "MAN MUST SURVIVE and MAN MUST WACK" mentality?

Even bill gates, b4 he made his billions, he started from "trying to survive.

And until u can survive, u cannot live. And until u can wack, u cannot live, get that into ur head, there is no need jump passing it, it is a phase by phase approach to life.
