That apple flavor na chemical no be real Apple

especially that one in la casera

Apples grow in Nigeria especially in the South & Jos.
The WAMBUGU specie has been cultivated in Enugu, Awka and Akwa Ibom with great success.

popweezy:
It's grows

Is this Jos ?

fineboynl:
Apple can be grown in Nigeria but with Artificial climate. If it where to be the white man they would have fine something about it by growing Apple with artificial means. But remember we are block and block man doesn't think.

You that can think, what are you waiting for

Limassol:
You mean strawberries grows in Jos? Kai! I swear if this is true that place is blessed.

yes it does . But the problem is transportation to where it is appropriated.

Newton2024:
Apple juice are not made of apple but are made of apple flavour. Apple flavour is a chemical that is produced in the laboratory. It smells and taste like real apple.

That is why it's killing dem and they don't know. It's a deadly cocktail of high sugar water and other concocted chemicals. Same as sodas.

sinkhole:
at the bolded, what of Mambila Plateau?

Plateau State is the coldest, has highest ground elevation.

Enudapan:
Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

I don't think so
Cos apples are the most
Expensive fruit here in Nigeria
One apple goes as high as 500 naira,
Most times I dey wonder how does apple juice sellers buy there apples and sell those juice at cheaper rate

Not company,i repeat no fruit juice in Nigeria uses original farm fresh fruits,all they use is flavours that's why their drinks are cheap

KUNTA007:


We call that place roots crops it’s managed by the federal government. It’s in Jo’s south just after National institute for policy and strategy studies NIPSS before you get to National veterinary research institute kvom NVRI. That’s where you will see the farm. But I believe the federal government uses it for research

You're totally correct. It was that research institute I went to many years ago around January ending. Spent 2 days there, and slept at the institute's guest house hotel accommodation. It was literally freezing overnight, despite not using AC or fan, we had to shut all the windows. It was so cold, even though I slept with blankets and wore clothes to sleep. They said the cold was already going when we came, that if we had come during December harmattan, we would have known what real cold is . Jos people are trying.

dafeoroyo:

100% true. I found out with coca cola. They call it "Concentrate". They import the concentrate from abroad and dilute it with other additives to make the carbonated drinks and juice. It's all chemicals, no real fruit. All that fruits claims etc is all scam. People are drinking formulated chemicals.

SirLakes:

Even orange and pineapple juice na chemical flavor and sugar people dey gulp

All the juice sef

Yes, the juice of the fruits you mentioned are organic acid with chemical formulas and this made it possible to be prepared in laboratory without using the real juice.

It's written that when the righteous leads a nation, when a good individual is at the helms of affair of a country, when the citizen are treated well and they are satisfied, when the small children are provided everything that makes them thrive and grow in all good things, when corruption is low or non existent, when there is no nepotism and in all, when there is always confession and forgiveness. Then your land will be productive, foreign produce will grow and thrive, lustre of fruits and seeds shall be found at your backyard, your gardens shall bear fruits less than the due seasons, sounds of joy shall fill your households and nations shall seek your face for solutions and wisdoms. Let Evil Buhari and his Fulani associates go away and let us get a godly man to lead this country, then evil shall be terminated forever. Get a man with wisdom Nd not a president of a dirty smelling tribes from Futa Jallon, a tribe of animal, a tribe of beasts and murderers....God would not tolerate nonsense again as he has tolerated the stupid and wicked son of Lucifer call Buhari, a devil with the head of an ostrich, a tribe of Murderers.

Natajo2021:
@OP u re such a funny person. Why would you expect Apple to grow in a country being ruled by the highest hierarchy of wicked of the wicked leaders in the World?
Apple cannot grow in a nation being governed by Buhari the wicked general from Niger republic, the desert land where nothing good thrive.
Buhari has transferred the wickedness of Nigerien to Nigeria.
Had it been a righteous leader is governing Nigeria , by now Apple would have been growing in Southern Nigeria.
It cost God nothing to make Apple fruits to grow in Yoruba land.
He has given us varieties of Apple trees already.
We have agbalumo, cocoa, coconut, orange, guava, lime and lemon, grape, tangerine, etc
Apple can grow in abundant in our sea shores.
Apple � � grow in Lagos Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo, coz we are children of God.

Cheapgadget:
Is only evil apple that grows in Nigeria,

I love this fucking reply!!!!

Okay

Omicron007:
Fellow Nairalanders,

I bought one small sized apple the other day for Two Hundred Naira.
After consuming the fruit, I began to reminisce on how I have planted apple seeds as a young kid and watered them every time. Sadly, none of the seeds I planted was able to germinate.

Growing up, I once heard that Apples cannot grow in Nigeria because the land is not fertile enough.

So, does apple really grow in this country?
Have you seen an apple tree?

Yes, I have seen one apple tree inside one compound at mokola, Coca-Cola side in ibadan

Jos, Plateau State, and are sold

Nigeria.

Ghana and Cotonou.

Does my comment look like an attack, abi you wake from the wrong side of your bed.

I'm also supporting the person that all those juice are flavors and not real fruits.

All those saying apple grows in Jos, should snap picture and send it

chival:

Fridge and refrigerator are the same thing. Did you mean to write freezer?

Yes please, freezer.
Thanks for that correction

what I heard from the expert is that, before they import the The apple to this country they have injected the � with some substances in order to kill the seed for preventing it to grow in other parts of the country.

Apple and strawberry grows in Jos

TarOrfeeek:


Yes.

Grows in Jos.

But I believe it's not the same species as SA or Europe.

We are not also of the same specie with Europe ...
