Ishilove: They survived the same way the carrier survived Do you know they can go the entire dry season in Nigeria with no food They are a very important component in Ifa religious practice which is a big thing in Miami Just Google Ifa Miami Snail |

aribisala0:If it is an important factor in Ifa worship, then eating it should be a taboo. I still wonder how anyone can eat such a disgusting creature. It's like eating a sloth. |

Ishilove:I do not get your logic? Is eating "the body of Christ" = communion or Ileya Ram taboo? Anyway snails are taboo for specific individuals or deities not Ifa generally |
Re: 15 Giant Snails From Nigeria Seized At US Airport (Video) by Ishilove: 2:56pm On Jul 31, 2021 |
aribisala0:It's taboo in my side of Delta. By the way, the communion is symbolic. We are not cannibals |

Ishilove:Are snails more disgusting than fish or Shrimps or crayfish? Kolanuts are important in Ifa rituals also alligator pepper and palm oil. They are not taboo |

Ishilove:You are all over the place and I do not really get your point. Who said snails are not symbolic? You are the one that suggested items of religious significance should be taboo Are bread and wine not of religious significance in Christianity and rams in Islam Or did you not read the old Testament and all the items that were sacrificed to Jehovah like Sheep, Cows pigeons oil bread etc Were they taboo? That is the logic I do not get Why should snails be taboo BECAUSE they have religious significance Which side of Delta are you from and why is it taboo |

Ishilove:I worship anything worshipable. That is the beauty of gods you create and kill them when you like or if they are no longer useful You will find that I know more of the Bible or Quran than those who are "ardent practitioners" of those religions The bottomline is NO ONE KNOW S whether there is God or there is no God. No one really knows How do you measure "disgusting" Fish, shrimps and Crayfish live in the same water in which they piss shit etc and they eat literally ANYTHING from shit to deadbodies. They have no taboo By the way Jehovah declared them taboo |

This is example of the covid scare... For a hidden agenda but more potent bc they killed millions just to make the story stick |

SoftChordz: Once upon a time, Australia allowed one man to bring in 24 rabbits for 'hunting' The hunt was not successful and a few rabbits escaped. Those rabbits exploded in population, and now the Aussies have, for several decades a big rabbit problem. It is affecting the normal flora and fauna too. And it cost their taxpayer millions to deal with. (Including building a fence which did not work). Of course the Australians don't let in anything into their country these days. They have learned their lesson. The snail that was NOT allowed into the US...if they let it in, it not only would have brought in parasites , but it would have multiplied and wrecked the local flora of the USA, and it would also have caused a lot of economic and social problems. Many countries don't let in everything...for their physical and economic health. And before you start...these polices have been in place for decades before you were born. 1 Like |

Seun: But what scientific evidence do you have to counter their allegations? If the snails havent destroyed Africa, their original home, so why will developed country be scared of destructions when they have more better facilities to make them more comfortable than they are in Africa? Oyinbo wey be say if you allow them, they will take all the best things Africa have and put them in their land. Bros chill, you just vomited and unproven conspiracy story. Na because we no get facilities to test properly wetin we dey eat they cause so many strange illnesses and deaths now in Africa wey we dey attribute to "spiritual attacks" You think say na every thing eatable truly is eatable nowadays? You never hear say e get animals wey bible refered to as unholy? E get why |

Seun:You've stated the obvious, and as a snail farmer with years of experience, I can confirmed that. |
Re: 15 Giant Snails From Nigeria Seized At US Airport (Video) by aribisala0(m): 5:26pm On Jul 31, 2021 |
OChimex:Your reasoning is funny and I see you are just seeking attention In Logic you do not need to "counter" allegations He who alleges must prove Ei incumbio probatio qui dicit non qui negat Many countries have said they do not want genetically modified food which the US has countered by saying give evidence it is harmful and their response is it is too early to know the long term effects .Some countries have succumbed to the pressure. It is a TRADE ISSUE It is not in doubt that snails can carry disease This is true for every living thing that we eat both animals and plants , even eggs Even humans carry disease Such as Coronavirus for example So it is important to talk in context. The question is How serious a problem is it and what is the risk of getting meningitis out of every 1000 snails and how does that compare to the risk of other things than ca n carry meningitis e.g pork and what precautions should be taken to mitigate the risk. Is a total ban the answer or are there other workable solutions The simple solution is to clean the snails and freeze them and ship them in appropriate packaging with periodic testing and inspection or even total testing for every package It is not a complex issue |

Na snail get this big issues |
Re: 15 Giant Snails From Nigeria Seized At US Airport (Video) by Tirips(f): 6:48pm On Jul 31, 2021 |
NotKnown: 1. Not all the snails carry it 2. If you cook it well you reduce the risk. Animals as a whole can carry parasites eg. Tape worm carried by cows. This is why it is important to care for farm animals, inject them when necessary because they eat from dirt and mud, they don't cook and eat meals like humans do, they don't bathe or practice hygiene at least not by themselves. Always patronize trusted farms Cook your meat/fish well Maintain a healthy approach to preparing your meals Patronize healthy and trusted restaurants And yes if you do own a livestock farm, get proper training on how to raise your animals and apply the knowledge. #HealthtipswithTirips |
