If you cant afford it doesn't mean all other people cant


Personalize your travails

My brother, I eat the freshest of vegetables I can find because I can afford it. I will not go and pick rotten ones because it will be madness to do so.

Those who eat rotten tomatoes are not mad, are they? They eat what they see.

Have you ever eaten in a place and hungry kids are queuing up for the rights to your plate when you're done? I have.

Tell me if those kids will mind the type of tomatoes in the stew their poor mother managed to cobble together for dinner.

There is poverty in the land. I congratulate you on your good fortune if you cannot recognize that fact.

Do have a nice day.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Friday warned Nigerians against the consumption of rotten tomatoes to forestall cancer.

Mrs Christiana Essenwa, a Deputy Director with the agency, gave the warning in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Onitsha.

According to her, rotten tomatoes contain micro organisms that induce cancer.

She explained that “once tomatoes become rotten, it will have micro organisms, mostly fungi, and fungi in rotten tomatoes produce mycotoxins which are deadly and induce cancer, and cause immune deficiency in man and animals.

“Mycotoxins are deadly, and can cause all sorts of poisoning in the body,” the director said.

She said that some research suggested that mycotoxins could also cause kidney damage.

According to her, some people think that rotten tomatoes which are cheap, can be consumed after washing and heating.

She, however, stressed that the toxins could not be washed or killed by heating “because mycotoxins are heat-resistant.”

She, therefore, advised consumers to keep-off rotten tomatoes often sold cheap in the market, saying “it was better to spend money to prolong life than to use such money to buy death.”

Rodo and Tatashi combined.

If NAFDAC cares about our welfare, they would stop all the illegal drug makers in the country.


Any small happiness we want to enjoy, this country wants to stop it.
