Poisonous Boko Haram's Beans Scare In Port Harcourt by OAM4J: 4:52am On Aug 25, 2011 |
[size=13pt]Poisonous beans scare in Port Harcourt[/size] BY GEORGE ONAH Port Harcourt – Consumers of beans in Rivers State are scared of buying the food item in the markets because of alleged “rumour” in the state that Boko Haram had brought contaminated bags of the commodity that would lead to massive deaths when consumed. Although the State Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr. Emmanuel Chinda has told the public to ignore the text messages warning people not to buy beans in the markets, Vanguard gathered, yesterday, that many consumers of beans are not taking the rumour lightly as they do not want to be used as guinea pigs in the Boko Haram beans scare. Chinda, however, told those who have proof of the poisoned beans in Rivers markets to “come with the beans”. He said neither the Rivers people nor state government has any quarrel with Boko Haram, and as such they have no business wanting to kill people in the state. One of the text message read “urgent, don’t eat beans for now. Boko Haram has poisoned beans sent to Port Harcourt markets, tell others”. The commissioner said the messages were the “handiwork of detractors and mischief makers”. At the mile one market, a trader on the commodity simply called Musa said “we cannot sell poisoned beans because it could be traced back to us and you know the consequences of such”, acknowledging that he was aware of the text messages. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/08/poisonous-beans-scare-in-port-harcourt/ |

Two things I buy from northers are Beans and Weed!! One of my boys stopped buying from our northern dealer because he felt they could just as well taint our ish and kill us, Its just plain paranoia, If we are to run from the food brought from the north, ppl wld end up eating only canned food and spaghetti, I ate beans 2 nights ago and it was good, I serzly doubt them Boko boys are that diabolical as to poison the people, |

CAUTION,We must take caution.My suggestion would be dat any family dat can do wtout eating beans should buy it in bulk,cook it and serve it to ur chicken or a white rat.wait for atleast 3 days and see result. |

I am a PH resident. Even though I am not insinuating a reality of this rumour, we all have to tread with caution. Our beans got finished in the house and we had to go buy just a little amout to cook on Saturday 21st August. I ate the beans and really had a very terrible experience. My whole system was not the same after 4hrs of consumption and this whole experience lasted almost all night long. It did not occur to me that it could have resulted from my consumption of beans that day, until I started hearing this rumours. Scientifically, I was thinking it could have been from the preservative used to preserve the beans that was much, hence the reaction. However, I advice we tread with caution when we hear rumours. Like the journalist said, let us not be the experimental class. What I expect from the state commisioners of health and that of Agriculture is to take a reasonable qty of random sampling of the recent beans product in the market and send in for research. I rest my case. |
