@maribeemjay@Aikoges The message isn’t even about South Africa. It’s about African visa-free movement, but you’re acting important just because South Africa was mentioned.
EU banned synthetic dyes? Not quite. Carmoisine (E122) and Allura Red (E129) are approved in the EU with mandatory warning labels: they "may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children."
The claim isn't true—those dyes aren't banned in the EU (or most places). Nigeria's Fanta uses local formulations allowed under NAFDAC rules, but independent tests have flagged higher levels of some colorants vs. EU/US versions. Formulations differ by market for cost and regs.
The EU has not banned Carmoisine (E122) or Allura Red (E129). Both are fully authorized food colors under EU law (Regulation 1333/2008), after EFSA safety reviews in 2009/2015.
They do require this specific warning label on products: "May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children."
The "banned" part of the claim is incorrect.
@asemota You respect some people on here thinking they’re discreet, only to realize they don’t even use Google, just retweet and believe.
Every time it’s “tech this, tech that,” but they can’t verify basic truth.
Can’t believe I turned on notifications 😔
@olumidecapital The reason why we were asking you guys to allow import, as refine crude can be sold anywhere.
He is selfish which good for him, I am also selfish as a consumer. Monopoly is not good for consumers.
He must not sell to Nigeria alone.
@MasterBolaji Most of the inter bank transfers are free at lower rates for other countries, they only charge when it is high.
In Nigeria, every amount is charged.
