Imanuelle: Is dis op not a nigerian??
Dis is very normal...
WTH do nairalanders pretend a lot
I don't c anytin dats a big deal here jare

merengue: While I disagree with Beaf on a lot of issues, he is absolutely on point with his arguments. These displays apart from being a disgrace are unhealthy and an environmental hazard. Poverty is not an excuse for stupidity, there are other ways of going about it.

kwajahafiz: Poster u have sadly chosen the wrong fight for Nigeria. We as a country are not there yet.
Besides,if you have ever been to a southern open cook off or ho down in the south of
The united states you will see something simillar or worse.
Ghana and the rest of the world has street food as street food must be displayed for
The purpose of enticing the senses.
Not a damn thing wrong with street food bro.
Now the inhumanness in killing those Nama , that's another issue, but Nigeria is not there yet.

Beaf:
Exactly! Carcinogens spiced and flavoured with e koli and typhus from faecal remains clinging to hands unwashed after a bend down over the nearest secluded drain.

occam: A Nigerian med professional asserted that people have developed immunity against germs, so this practice is not a big deal as I claimed. I simply smiled and walked away; wasn't in the mood to argue. Lack of right information underscores the serious health challenge in Nigeria

Let me say it: A lot of Nigerians are dying as result of poor hygienic practices like cooking red meat over open sewers, not washing your hands after using the washroom etc. The average life expectancy is under 52. Juju, voodoo or curses are not the causes of deaths.

jason123: In fact, selling chicken openly adds to the "Nigerian" flavor you can't get anywhere in the world! Its our unique style of barbeque.

Outstrip: Someone posts a progressive topic and he gets abused and ridiculed. You can just act like you did not see the thread. I just don't understand how people can be so angry about progress. Those of you fixating on the roasted chicken are deliberately trying to be simple. It is bigger than that and he expantiated in following posts. I know I will get insulted though but I would like to know how many people condemning him live in Nigeria. I am willing to bet that all of them do. I see it all the time. When you say something about deplorable conditions in Nigeria it is usually the ones living there that make excuses for why it is that way. The government might be corrupt but that is not why Nigeria is the way it is. A huge and significant part of it is the mentality of the people. The sad thing is an opportunity to educate yourself is usually scorned by the people that should embrace it

Beaf:
I think its just a new craze for people to act silly these days. It leaves a sad feeling when it is realised that these are the people the nations future depends on.

The collective mental state of the country is in no fit state for development. It looks like the entire scope for creative thought has been thrown out the window, even worse, dignity and pride in humanity have been thrown out as well.

How can a nation in this state ever hope to develop? Most people who might not be that bright and who have never ever left their home states or Nigeria (even to Burkina Faso) might not be able to grasp how human society can function at much higher and productive levels than the bestial World that obtains in Nigeria. If anything, this thread shows that the depth of work that needs to be done to raise our people is mind-boggling (though not insurmountable).

Beaf:
Development comes from state of the mind. If the mind has no standards, how is it ever going to be creative and focused to precision?
I wonder what you think comes out of the minds of those who sell roasted chicken skewered in the open by the roadside? Advanced algorithms? High tech? What?

Parnassuss: I am numbed by your stunning ignorance. U bastion of enlightenment please bless us with ur knowledge n wisdom, tell us the morals we should draw from this Beafy tale!
Damn, everywhere I look I see delusion and blindness, if that's what it means to live outside Nigeria it seems so people leave their brains in boxes at the airports.
Ghana for all her stability n progress did not have to ban Kebab sellers to reach where they are. And for all those health morons, tell me if Malaria, cancer, aids, diabetes, or other heart diseases (which are most common killers today in Nigeria) are caused by roasted meat? Get a life, one with lots of brains in it preferably too.
