I see.

Still....somehow the process has to be standardized....so that people can drink safely.

I mentioned chemist (chemistry graduate) because that's where they may come in.

bushdoc9919:
The basic message about the ban on the local gin has more to do with the fact that it is not made according to standard procedure....which can lead to the production of gin filled with methanol....which can be very damaging to one's health and well being.

I suggest all ogogoro makers get together, work with chemists from Uniport...to get a standardized method of making ogogoro properly and legally.Which can then be submitted to NIS for approval. (They could for example do things like determine the % of alcohol in ''good'' ogogoro.).

And that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Ahh you can lie where did they write that Jesus took it

temifisayo:
Hello. Christians do not drink ogogoro or any other strong drink. If any 'christian' indulges in alcohol, he should check himself.

MissGdope:
ON THESE BASES
1. You'll put on weight. Alcohol is stuffed with calories: a pint of 4% beer or cider is about 215 calories; an alcopop is around 200; a single (25ml) of spirits is 60kcal; a large glass of 12% red or white wine (250ml) is 180kcal.
2. It can give you bad skin.
3. It can make you depressed.
4. You're more likely to have unprotected sex and contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI) when you're drunk.
5. You could fall off things or get run over.
6. If you've passed out from drink or drugs, it's easier for someone to rob, attack or sexually assault you.

Ogogoro means thousands of jobs in my area, people use ogogoro to send their children to school, build houses and make names for themselves. I am so sick and tired of government thinking banning a product without zero knowledge of what's on line.

Police raid will only lead to more firearms in the hands of the producer. Somebody should call this government to order asap. Ogogoro is big business, yes billions of Naira monthly. Regulate it and leave people to make their living, as they have done for donkey years.

Kirinwa:
I have seen first hand what ogogoro can do to a man. It makes a full grown man to be uncordinated, behaving like a child. It raises the new breed of social misfits, deviants, touts, molesters and violent. Whenever you see people taking it, if what is running in your veins is not water then banning it is good.

GOD forbid, not my Jesus, be careful of what u say, because blasphemy is an unforgiven sin.

They should ban all Alcoholic drinks not just Ogogoro

The Federal Government on Monday banned the consumption of local gin, popularly called Ogogoro in all parts of the country.

The decision was sequel to deaths in Rivers and Ondo states due to food poisoning allegedly caused by the consumption of local gin.

The government however confirmed that the death toll in Rivers State had risen to 38 and 18 in Ode-Irele, Ondo State, following the consumption of local gin.

The Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, Dr. Paul Orhii, in his reaction to the death of 38 persons in Rivers State, told journalists that the recent incidents in the state and that of Ode-Irele, in Ondo State were associated with the consumption of locally made gin.

According to him, considering the risk in the consumption of locally made gin, it has become imperative to “warn the public to desist from the consumption of unregistered locally made spirits (Ogogoro) and other unregistered bitters.”

Orhii also warned that government “would confiscate all illegally brewed alcoholic beverages” across the country.

The NAFDAC boss also recommended “immediate reporting and evacuation to the nearest tertiary health institution as quick intervention can save lives.”‏

He said the NAFDAC team me with the Ondo State Commissioner for Health and Director of Diagnostic Services and an official of the World Health Organisation, who visited Ode-Irele to obtain first hand information.

He added, “A preliminary investigation by the National Centre for Disease Control and WHO, ruled out any infectious diseases and confirmed the possibility of poisoning as the cause and in turn advised NAFDAC to conduct further investigation.

“The symptoms suffered by victims included vomiting, abdominal pain, blurred vision, headache, dizziness and loss of consciousness with subsequent sudden deaths of 18 victims.”

Orhii, who was joined by the Director of NCDC, Prof. Abdulrahman Nasidi, explained that all indications showed that “these symptoms are the hallmark signs of methanol poisoning.”

Your idiocy is mind boggling.
Where in my post did you see a defence of PDP?
They have the likes of Metuh and Akin Osuntukun to do such diety work for them.
You sense of reasoning mist transcend the simplicity view that any criticism of APC is a defense of PDP. Some of us do not care for acronyms that mean little. Try and comprehend that fact, assuming it is not difficult for your simple mind.

Did you even read the article at all? It addresses people who don't believe in any God, not those who believe in a god different from the Islamic God.

APC conducts primaries when it suits Jagaban and conducts selection when it suits same

Mogidi:
Garba Shehu "Buhari has fulfilled his promise of publicly declaring his assets"

We may have succeeded in shaming Buhari to keep to his agreed public declaration of assets.
PEOPLE POWER, POWER TO THE PEOPLE

kristonium:
I read the report!
I use the word,'subtle imposition'...Why primaries in the 1st place? Its unconstitutional bro.The house should be allowed to vote.They weren't even informed aforehand that there would be primaries! Its an open secret that Jagaban wants his boy there as the speaker and will be ready to get what he wants by all means!
Let's stop deceiving ourselves!

kristonium:
why not allow the members choose their own speaker?
why the subtle imposition?

kristonium:
This is just the beginning of the end for APC!
