AgricultureRe: 10 Myths About Genetically Modified Organism (GMOs) by Oladidouble(m): 8:11pm On Aug 27, 2024
cococandy:
The corn and bananas you eat today are gmo

Without biologically modifying them, you wouldn’t have found them desirable to eat . These are before and after pictures of them before they got modified.

Also gmo is as old as time. People want to claim cross breeding is different from gmo. The only difference is that the technology has improved and scientists can now select the specific gene they want but farmers since time immemorial have been manipulating the genes of plants to make them more Visually desirable, more palatable, more resilient to bad weather and resistant to pests.

It must be exhausting thinking everything is a conspiracy and there’s someone always lurking in the dark trying to take your soul.

The main issue is the companies trying to monopolize certain breed and trademark certain varieties so that no one but them is allowed to plant it. That’s foul.
I am not actually/totally against GMO. But I disagree that GMO and hybrids are the same. No they are different. GMOs go again the natural laws of breeding hybrids do not. hybrids are products of breeding of the related organisms e.g same species, varieties. For example breeding two varieties of maize to produce hybrid varieties, crossing two breeds of sheep e.t.c.
But in GMO maize for instance a gene of totally different organism e.g bacteria would be introduced to the that of the maize to maize it resistant to pest(FAW) and that have been achieved with B.T bacteria. That is the technology used in TELA Maize.
But if I am in position to advise the government I would advise them to stop the pushing it, since some say there might be unestablished potential risks, and countries that ban GMOs aren't stupid e.g Italy,Russia,e.t.c
We have achieved alot with hybridization; 41days broilers, high yielding Hybrid F1 tomato, peppers, cucumber e.t.c high yielding maize varieties, early maturing maize varieties e.t.c
Nigeria as a developing country Doing GMO
is like looking for unnecessary trouble.

mrvitalis:
Nigerians are not left out na

All broilers are GMO, all tin tomatoes are made with GMO, sweet corn? Cornflakes? Goldenmorn?

Most plantain, banana, apples, grapes are all GMO
Wrong sir. Broilers are not GMO, they are hybrids, product of long time selective breeding, they have parent stock and grandparents stock. There is different between Hybrid and GMO. The only GMO that I know of in Nigeria today is The TELA maize that FG is pushing. All others maize, pepper, tomatoes seeds from seed companies are hybrids.
Christianity EtcRe: Man Dies While Undergoing 19 Days Dry Fast In Lagos by Oladidouble(m): 10:48am On Aug 21, 2024
Michael547:
Where did Jesus command Christians to fast.....and how long did he say the fasting should last?
And Matt 17:21. This goeth not out but by fasting and prayer.
But we should apply God's wisdom, we should not overdo things. The person that died did too much
