Cod fish used in making stockfish isn't found within our seas, it thrives in colder pacific region and the process of drying requires cold air and wind bottom line make buhari no ban am oo

Well said, this type of ban is what gives buhari joy.

MajorJeffery:
Has anyone asked if Norwegians eat those stockfish?
Well, Nigerians enjoy your poison food...

Yes, but it's eaten mostly as fresh fish that one may not even know it's the same stockfish. We grill it fresh in the oven.

The okporoko you eat in naija is dried to preserve it for export to Nigerian consumers.

Yes. This has bn going on since the 17th century. Saw the documentary on CNN. They used to feed the slaves stock fish throughout the transatlantic journey. But naija pple turned it to delicacy.

Same way the word 'houseboy' is a Slave term to differentiate a house slave and a field slave. It is also still in use and the slavery still being practiced by Nigerians. Smh.

zombieTRACKER:
Now this is a shame


It's official... I'm ashamed of being called a Nigerian

Your shame will remain as we Nigerians will keep on eating stock fish.

I dont know about Norwegians but cod (stock fish) is common in North America. We dey also get titus (Norway Mackerel) , panla (Hake) and croaker (Weak fish) in supermarkets.

Nigerians are the biggest importers in the whole world, The import every damn thing including the air we breathe.


Even the Arabs don't import as much & they live on a desert!!!



freaking black ass Nigerians want 1N-1$ , you guys have to be extinct before it happens, I hope PMB slams a big fine on this business

The first fash law states anybody who spends more or little below what he makes will be poor. its a universal law of nature. this law can applied to the states as well.

Is it not high time we use 21st century technology to culture this species of fish to be cultivated here in Nigeria.

Get it dried with machines and then supply our local market while exporting to other African countries.

But they are putting high tarriff on the stockfish at our ports causing artificial scarcity and making importers raise the market price. Stockfish today is very expensive per bag. I'd have invested in wholesaling it but the price just keeps fluctuating.

And it will taste like what? Instead of talking of how to improve our trade relations with these countries to reduce trade deficit, you're talking of culturing cod fish and machine drying. How much nutrients will this laboratory experiment contain?

Looted funds.

I really wonder why the stock fish hat to be beheaded most of the times, cant u guys export one that died a normal death? Must they all be murdered in cold blood

There are but you'ld find much of dat in d fresh ones.

Southerners, especially Igbos eat it a lot.

I am privileged to have lived with a High ranking officer in Nigeria Quarantine who has been to Tromso, Norway and he doesnt eat stock fish. I asked him why and he told me that he saw how those fishes are cured and stored (using traditional crude methods) and it isn't good for hygiene.

I asked, why does the FG still allow its importation, his answer is still the Nigerian factor we all know about.

Mind you, Norwegians don't eat stock fish.

We are consumers indeed. They blame the government on everything but would never change their ways for the betterment of their country.

Nigeria imports Norwegian seafood worth $125 million yearly

Nigeria shares a rather fishy relationship with Norway... Despite having its own coastline, Nigeria imports around 125 million dollars
worth of Norwegian seafood every year.

WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

our water can breed the type of fishes processed into stock fish.. BTW. Norway is the largest producer of stock fish and many countries import from them

if you are purine sensitive, thereby resulting to gout- avoid stock fish and cray fish asap

What irks me is that the fish is in grades. Grade A, B and Nigerian grade.

The head, bones, fins, tail and rotten fish is the one Nigerians import.

Marygold637:


What is Norway importing from Nigeria ?

Do you expect them to import our fish....and make it part of their must have can't do without it? ...and neglect their own? ...and be proud of it?...and beat their chest that they eat imported fish?....and foolishly squander their reserves instead of building it?...and then complain there are no jobs?
Bro.....I hear you!
