God1000:
People are wicked, why using such oil to make akara

And you have no words for a government that is given to rhetorics only. In other places the statement would include what the government has done to block future use and punish offenders, beyond empty threats.

Wicked people abound everywhere and that's why we have a government to regulate things.
Even God says in the Bible: "among my people are found wicked men." Jer 5:26

By all means hang them,scums has no place among humans

Is unbelievable..that's the fallout of bad leadership that led to tough economic situation,a 5liter oil is 9k,the cheapest something I use to buy 2k few years back .

Arthurity1:
USING TRANSFORMER OIL TO FRY AKARA??!!!! AGHHHH!!! TRANSFORMER OIL!!! WHY ARE WE THIS INHUMANE TO EACH OTHER IN NIGERIA?!!

That chemical is very dangerous. Nigerians are just too wicked. Technicians even have to use protective cloths and gloves when decommissioning transformers with PCBs. I am shocked to find people using it as cooking oil.

descarado:

Non verifiable.

They should do better.
When anything is passed under heat like fire be it water or oil, evaporation must happen. Oil must dry, water must dry. Simple.
Is it magic oil that stops evaporation?

You're correct, but you know, evaporation rate is affected by density. If the oil becomes denser as as result of the mixture, we could expect a reduction in the rate of evaporation.

When did Nigeria turn to China where they can cook anything? Poverty sha!

Where do we go in this country haba! it still the failure of our government.

rickpat:
public food in Nigeria can really be risky at times.... ranging from spoilt tomatoes to condemn oil to all sort of garbage...na wa

True talk.

Cook your dammed food yourselves! No, una no go gree, all sorts of filmsy excuses "I don't have time", "work schedule is hectic", "why stress to cook when you can just buy" , bla bla.... Okay, you will have time to die a slow painful cancerous death na, abi?

Eeyah ! maybe thats why magnoliaa have being swelling up in the wrong places .... she is as cheap as the roadsides puffpuff

Lies from the pit of hell, someone will just sit in one archaic office somewhere and be fabricating nonsense.

1, A drum (200L) of used transformer oil is over 300k, that is about 1500 naira per litre, how much is a litre of unbranded vegetable oil? Then someone will now use an oil that is higher in value to spoil his/her oil that is cheaper. Does that make any sense?

2,Virgin Transformer oil tastes very awful, so how can one now fry akara with the used one and the Akara will still taste good, if one even try to fry akara with an over used vegetable oil, the taste will be so bad that you might throw the Akara away not to talk of using transformer oil.

We all know that folks living in that entity of the map like rumours better than doing a research bout a thing..

However, the wickedness of mankind is beyond imagination..

Really cold outside!

No b their fault na..Na poverty cause am

Ogamysamo:
wickedness in form of charity. how will a normal human being dry akara with transformer oil and still be sitting comfortably in the public to be doing it?

they are killing the people they think they are helping to survive but yet they don't care, May God Help Us In This Our Nigeria

I dont understand. But transformer oil is more expensive and thicker than vegetable oil. Its pointless to use it in cooking cuz it has a higher boiling point so it uses more heat and cooking time.
Also it has a light diesel like smell and its not easy to wash off. It's like saying you cooking with ATF. TRANSFORMER OIL IS JUST A LIL LIGHTER THAN ATF. So why would someone use it to prepare akara?

Wetin these people dey talk sef

My.nd44 lala.sticlala seun

you're just a fool Leo

Infact, the only thing I buy in traffic these days is bottled water.

I still change wipers in traffic because most times na abboki dey sell am.

I no fit shout[/quote] my dear the bottle water you buy in traffic is now being recoupled at home by this same innovators... What they do is pick empty dirty cans wash it fill in tap water put it in the fridge and then sell it to the public...

Hight of wickedness and ignorance.

shortIGBOman:
I can bet my left Nyash that, this thing originated from the East.

THE OIL IS FOR STREET TRANSFORMER?

We need ro monitor the sources of oil used in fryi that akara at the bus stop.

I continue to say that Nigerians are the problem of this country and not the government. Government na saint for where we dey

.

This is profound wickedness!
The world doesn't have to be this cold.

To eat akara and puff-puff now na problem

frying food with poison? we are our enemy

People and wickedness ehh!

Took it right out of my mouth.... Our systems are horrendous. Civil servants actually deserve all the government is doing to them

This your doubt has led many to their early graves

OP, pls there's need to show pictures in this type of news so as to show people how the oil look like, and how people can differentiate it from edible oil.

Beverlyjean:
The type of people that sell and use this oil are tge same that will vote for Tinubu and will market Tinubu ... they are on the same brain frequency with the ones marketing Tinubu online

Must you politicise everything? Matter of life and death u decided to drag politics into it. Reason why this country still has a long way to go. Every darn issue we must find a way to give it political coloration and expect to achieve anything tangible

Bros may not be entirely lies. It may not be with akara, most likely with plantain chips.

Quite pathetic. Ad much as its possible and convenient for you, cook your food yourself.

The best is to eat from home.
