Like i said you are just an ignorant southerner who doesn't know how the world works and thinks he is smart just because he watch some Oyibo on TV. Even them use dichlovors(Sniper as we call it) for preservation of their cereals, The dosage is what matters and they have even lift the ban on our beans exportation because we have finally reach an acceptable dosage of your killer sniper. But here you are forming smart and intelligent and you don't even know any of your so called safer alternatives. Last last you go still buy beans wey them use dichlovors preserve unless you no wan chop beans again or even other cereals. I am sure it's your type that thinks Yam grows on trees.

All i have being reading here are insults upon insults.

No alternatives!!!!

Okay!!! i have seen one.

Per-boil your beans and dispose of the first water before cooking finally.

This first hot water should reduce if not clear off whatever 'sniper' is inside the beans.

The trader is doing the right thing by preserving those beans with a diluted sniper.
The poisonous substances will evacuate the beans immediately when cooked due to the pressure exerted by the boiling point of the water. Hence, returning the beans to its normal state and then ready for human consumption.

Ignorant comment. They rejected your beans because the insecticide dosage was too much. Now that the standard dosage is being used, ban has been lifted.
Get informed!

Its a way of preserving it from insects and they don't do it with beans alone even with dried fish they bring from borno, they dilute the sniper with water and spray on the fish to keep insect always else before it get to the west or south that's another story.
Moreover I think whenever poison is heated it loses it Powers.
It could still have it's diverse effect to the health of consumers

This is a reasonable argument, but there's a slight flaw: the sniper won't "evacuate" the beans. Unlike the water that will rise and evaporate, remaining chemical ingredients will remain in the beans stew. That's why stew gets thicker when you cook it longer: water evaporates but the tomato and other seasonings stay. It's a dangerous thing to use insecticide for instead of the proper preservative for human consumption.

Diluted sniper will not kill a person today, but accumulate enough of it in your system and it can shorten life expectancy.

Are you serious
Are you sure it was diluted? Are you also aware that such pesticides is heavily regulated? Are you aware that such pesticides should never come in direct contact with food. Stop spreading false information.

No thanks to NAFDAC for allowing different unscrupulous people to handle food substance.

THIS IS THE MAIN REASON THE UK BANNED OUR BEANS

The insult for this thread na wa.

The sniper is basically being used by those guys for preservation. The trader is preserving those beans with a diluted sniper. Note that the active ingredient in that Sniper is a compound called dichlorvos
Two years ago, the European Union (EU) banned Nigerian beans because of the high level of dichlorvos pesticide residue at 0.3, which was beyond the 0.1 acceptable limit in the beans. The issue here is we don’t know if the level of concentration is within the 0.1 limit.
Other chemicals like Chlorpyrifos, Cyhalothrin, Dimathoate, Trichlorphon, Omethoate and so on were also discovered in high, unacceptable levels in dried beans for export.
These pesticides were either applied in the farm during cultivation or at storage to preserve the beans from weevils.
To tackle this problem, the Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) system was developed by Larry L. Murdock, professor of Entomology at Purdue University, USA and scientists in Cameroon in a research funded by a USAID and the university’s International Programs in Agriculture.
The PICS consists of two high-density polyethylene plastic bags, and an outer sack of nylon that protects them. It can store grains safely for eight to 12 months without the produce being damaged by insects.
To make the technology available to farmers in Nigeria, a company based in Kano State has been given the license to produce the bags for farmers and merchants for grains and beans storage.
The system reduces the amount of damage the weevils inflict upon stored beans and other grains.

I will not insult your parents as they are not the ones that typed for you.

DD force, Executor, Crush, Phostoxin tablets are used based on what regulations? How are they meant to be used? Are they supposed to be used directly on food to be consumed by the public? Do you have any idea the effect of these chemicals on the consumers?

These and many more questions should be asked (and answered) before vomiting your illiteracy here. These are the reason why most of our foods find it difficult to be exported to countries with proper regulations on foods.

See you dey form saint when nah you first throw the insult punch.. Nah now you ask a sensible question? Let me school you a little bit...

1. On how they are meant to use...personally I prefer using the phostoxin tablets to the liquid ones I.e the snipers, ddforce, executors. This is because the tablets will be wrapped inside a piece of cloth or nylon and placed inside the sack. Anytime you want to consume or sell the grain, you can remove the tablets and sell or eat your grain.

2. There is a specific measurements required when applying the liquid insecticides. And don't be fooled in thinking these local farmers don't know how to measure it...because they do. You could use the cap in measuring it and then add the right amount of water..depending on the calibration of your machine. 15ltrs, 16litrs or 20ltrs.

3. Once you've applied the liquid insecticides, you dry the grains and now bag it for at least 3 to 6 months before bringing it for sale or consumption. This is why I prefer the tablets over the liquid insecticides.

@POLITICSNGR

A group of traders were recently videos mixing a highly poisonous insecticide called 'Sniper' with raw beans meant for sale.

PoliticsNGR gathered that the traders were seen packaging the poisoned beans for sale to other parts of the country or export. Eyewitness, Debola Akingbade wrote;

"Plz. Stop eating beans or if u must eat beans,make sure u per-boiled it very well and dispose the water. I went to market on Sunday morning and could not believe what my eyes saw. Hausa boys were mixing sniper with beans a chemical that is very high in acidic concentration and capable of killing anything that comes in contact with it. Whether human or insect. Plz send this post to ur love ones until all Nigerians are aware of this. Save a soul by sharing this post."
