In a country were more than 70% of its citizens live below $1 per day, now, tell me how they can afford to buy gas and den refill when they can barely buy the food stuffs that will be cooked on that gas. these people can not afford a 2 square meal per day, na gas dem go come buy, majority of these people live in a 1room apartment, na gas be dere priority?


Please were do u refill ur own gas for 8hundred naira? Becaue I know how much I refill my 8kg with. + I can last me 3months, btw, I only boil hot water with it, apart from d hot water, I cook on the average of 10times per week. Now imagine a family of 6 (this I for rich and average family) because dose kind poor people de born upto 8kids,some na 6kids u now come add the papa and mama, ee go come be 10 or 8, and these people will try to eat like 3tmes per day meaning that bad as ee bad, them must cook @least 3times per day,+ warming of food, assume u re cooking 2cups of rice for 10mins, how long do u think it will take to cook 10cups of rice so that it will @least serve the large family? The longer it takes, the higher the qauntity of gas consumed.


Now as an average naija family that I come from, my parents spends upto 5k on gas per month, I don't live with them, my 2sisters are married, my younger bro does not lve with them, yet they consume that much.






Tell me how many families can afford to use gas in naija? Or u think we no get sense? No one likes to waste or suffer, if gas is affordable to all, I bet u, many people will use it. But its not, and they make do with what is available and affordable, its as simple as that.



Let me not talk of electric stove earlier mentioned because u and I know the situation of power in this country, so, don't even go there.

Av u tried gettin dem new oils teach dem ow to do to it please ha its called survival

SAMBARRY:
Consider your health too. Buying firewood from the market and carrying it long distances on your head to the place you want to cook is stressful and damaging to your joints.

Beding down to start breaking or piecing the firewood is another health hazard then setting it together with the charcoal and then preparing the foodstuffs and transferring it to the pot.haba!

it's not worth the stress and your health. One log of wood is heavy on its own talk more of carrying several logs of wood on your head to your destination

halfrica:

Thats because a lot of health hazards they face are not traced to the source. They attribute everything to witches and wizards

uchebest2006:
Buh our olden days papa nd mama dem use it nd yet re always older than this present generation.
Food cooked with fire wood is always delicious.

opeaceo:
The writer of the article is promoting the use of gas which is good, but how many people can afford the gas cylinders??
Kerosene is the preferred alternative here and not gas.

boman2014:
when almost 60% of Nigerian still use firewood.

UncleSnr:
But why did our forefathers live long?

Very insightful. I did a research on ambient air quality in Onitsha, the result was terrible, I can perfectly relate to the dangers these women are exposed to.

Op kindly change the post title, so that it can make FP, to create the necessary awareness.

Remember : What is good for the environment is good for your health and pocket.

RedCard1:
Poverty is the only reason why people use firewood. But some people still live long with it

My grand mother died at the age of 105yrs old, she had no idea what gas meant let alone seeing a cylinder, she never cooked with stove nor like food prepared with stove because she said it is not as sweet as firewood food
What are they saying
How many Nigerians can afford a cylinder let alone gas and cooker
NONSENSE

Where was the scientists when men started using firewood?

Mr. Op, If was so, then a whole village would have gone 6' down the earth.

Am a typical village bobo and I enjoy every bit of it.
