Maria96:It really is. And I understand being concerned but if we’re concerned about the right things, it wouldn’t be an issue. It’s when I’m hearing things like satanic bla bla bla being said about plants and agriculture I wonder where we lost the plot. Smh |

They have paid influencers to start promoting GMOs in Nigeria.. If GMOs are not bad, why are they banned in most European nations?. They have started breeding chickens without feathers targeted for Nigerian and African markets but such birds are banned in U.K, Canada etc.. GMOs are bad for the health and their effects are usually chronic (long term). You can consume just one Genetically modified fruit now that will have effect on your health after 15-20yrs. |

Eat your GMO. HOW MUCH DID THEY GIVE U TO SPONSOR THIS RUBBISH THREAD? GO AND ASK ALL THE COUNTRIES THAT BANNED GMO THE REASONS. HOW COME IS MOSTLY PESTICIDE COMPANIES THAT ARE NOW PRODUCING AND CAMPAIGNING FOR GMO AFTER THEIR CHEMICALS HAVE DESTROYED MANY LANDS. IF U WANT THE TRUTH ABOUT GMOS PLS LISTEN OR WATCH THIS .

cococandy: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. |

The difference is in the degree but it’s all gene manipulation. And I wouldn’t say I’m 100% for all types of gene manipulation in plants. There needs to be strict regulations. What I’m against is the conspiracy theories and those bringing mind numbing spiritual arguments into the conversation. Oladidouble: |

cococandy:You are wrong. Our forefathers were eating those plants naturally before science came |

femi4:Science didn’t come. Science has always existed. We keep improving on it as a species. But it has always existed. Your forefathers practiced science in their own little way. And they manipulated plant genetics as well. |

lovelyJubbly:Another smooth deception...why don't we just allow things to be in their natural state? Let me guess, they discourage Africans from cultivating their own crops (in their natural forms), then force these GMO seeds down on them...after cultivating, harvesting and consuming these plants, years later, they will now predict a pandemic that will be deadly...what is their aim? DEPOPULATION |

epainos:Get real - Nigerians cannot produce enough food to feed the nation. There is acute food scarcity and hunger with a never-before-seen hyperinflation. It's all well and good to say produce your own veggies but you know that advice is merely performative. Only 25% of men in Nigeria own lands, and only 4% of women, so what are the others (majority) going to do? What about the children - 43% of Nigerians are aged less than 15, so who is going to grow enough veggies to feed them? Even if GMOs cause cancer (there is no evidence that this is the case), would you rather live up to 60 and die of cancer, or die at 25 of starvation? It is clear that Nigeria has no choice unfortunately - food insecurity is a real and greater threat to the country than all the reasons you have against GMO foods. If people can afford it, they should buy organically grown foods but for the people who can't afford the cost, it is best to have an alternative. |

cococandy:You didn't check out well who wrote your different textbooks. Yeah. It was an agenda. Ppl with agenda wrote your textbooks. Why is it that for over 10000 yrs, mankind ate organic food , then suddenly within 30-40yrs, GMOs are now the saviours if humanity? Why is it that in the arctic regions of the world, world natural seeds are preserved in preservation chambers, and billionaires like Bill ( kill Bill) Gates are buying massive farmlands ? What are they preparing for? I have my conclusions. Your job is to find out the truth yourself. |
