SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO THE FOOD WE EAT AND NIGERIA NEEDS TO START ASKING SERIOUS QUESTIONS

When was the last time you personally saw a major, sustained food-safety inspection in your local market?

I ask because Nigerians are beginning to notice changes in the food we buy, and instead of dismissing every observation as nostalgia, perhaps we should start asking questions.

Vegetables that people remember releasing deep-green pigments during washing or cooking sometimes don't behave the same way.

Some varieties of yam no longer cause the itching people traditionally associated with handling certain yams.

Potatoes don't always leave the same stains on the hands.

Some ginger sold today seems to have nowhere near the aroma or pungency people remember.

And then there is beans.

Ask older Nigerians how long beans used to take to cook, then compare it with some beans bought today. In certain cases, the difference can be remarkable.

But here is where we must separate legitimate concern from speculation.

None of these observations, by themselves, proves that chemicals are being added to our food. Crop variety, maturity, soil conditions, breeding, storage, transportation and post-harvest handling can significantly change colour, texture, aroma and cooking characteristics.

That is precisely why regulators should be investigating rather than leaving Nigerians to speculate.

NAFDAC's own mandate includes regulating food and chemicals, preventing substandard and unwholesome products from reaching consumers, and combating adulterated products. Its current strategic plan even sets a target of 800 surveillance operations annually.

So Nigerians deserve to see the evidence of that surveillance where food actually changes hands.

What pesticide residues are being detected in our vegetables?

What chemicals are traders using to preserve produce?

Are substances being used to accelerate ripening, soften food or extend shelf life?

Are beans being chemically treated anywhere along the supply chain?

How frequently are random samples of beans, yam, vegetables, ginger and other staples taken from Nigerian markets and subjected to laboratory analysis?

These are questions for NAFDAC, the Federal Ministry of Health, agricultural regulators, research institutes and state authorities.

And this isn't paranoia. Nigeria already has laws prohibiting counterfeit, adulterated and unwholesome processed foods, while NAFDAC's own food-safety framework requires controls against food-safety hazards.

We shouldn't have to wait until people start falling sick before asking what is entering our food chain.

If the food has changed because agriculture has changed, explain it.

If new varieties are responsible, tell us.

If storage practices are responsible, educate us.

And if dangerous chemicals are being used anywhere between the farm and our plates, FIND THEM.

Food safety should not be something Nigerians have to investigate with their noses, palms and cooking pots.

Nigerians please we need justice for Elozino Joshualia Ogege. My secondary school friend. She wasn’t just a classmate, she was my friend we sat together in school. She was a decent girl. Elo was not wayward.

They killed her Nigerians. They plucked her eyes while she was alive, breast and heart before she died.

She was a brilliant student, a first-class student from 100 level to 300 level at Delta State University Delsu.

She only went to look for a house to rent Nigerians😭

She told a security man working in DELSU, Onoriode (Onos), who had access to the school environment that she was looking for a house, he then told her he would help her get accommodation. That was how he lured her. Delsu claimed they are contract staff from a security company. Guess what? This security man is an Ex-convict.

He did not act alone.

He worked with other Yahoo boys including Desmond and their gang and with the help of a security supervisor identified as Nwosisi Benedict Uche. The mastermind was a Yahoo boy who came from Ghana, and got those Yahoo boys to look for a girl for ritual for him. He had 2 houses already in Abraka. Elo was not their first victim.

They planned it.

They waited for her inside the school environment, campus 3, overpowered her by putting something on her face and took her away.

They drove her out of Abraka into a bush.

According to their own confession, Elozino was crying and begging them to let her go even after they took her eyes alive she was still begging them. 😭

But they did not stop.

They killed her and removed parts of her body for ritual purposes to use for what they call “Yahoo Plus” money rituals.

They took those parts to a native doctor identified as Ojokojo Robinson Obajero, who they believed would perform money rituals for them.

The police tracked her phone and arrested them after the family reported she was missing because they couldn't reach her.

The Delta State Police PRO, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed that the suspects confessed and that the crime started as a missing person case before turning into a murder investigation.

Even the Commissioner of Police at the time, Muhammad Mustafa, confirmed arrests and said they were ritual killers.

One of the masterminds even died while trying to escape arrest.

But since 2018… what has happened? Elon have had no justice since 2018.

The case has been in court. Adjournment after adjournment.
Delay after delay. Years have passed. No clear justice. Are they bringing the judge?

My friend left her house to look for accommodation and never came back.

She trusted the wrong person a security man inside her own school. Delsu refused to show concern for their negligence. How can you employ an Ex-convict? Why would a security company employ an Ex-convict?

Elo is gone we know but we want justice. And till today, it feels like justice is still being delayed.

Nigerians, how long will this continue? How long will young girls keep dying like this? How long will cases like this be forgotten?

Please speak up. Please don’t let this case die. Please people I'm begging y'all to help us speak. They already confessed to doing it. They should have been sentenced to death already. All the people involved.

Help us cry for justice @Hybrid_Ola

[Maryam @hell_line0]

Once I read this thing where a woman said that she will not read any books on productivity, time management, habits or how to live the best life if they're written by men because they were able to manage that time or build those life changing habits because they HAD A WIFE. Instead, this person said they would only read female-authored books on that subject--moms or wives that did the laundry, worked, and still got stuff done. I think about that a lot.

This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?"

A professor at the university asked his students the following question:

“Everything that exists was created by God?”
One student bravely answered:
“Yes, it was created by God.”

The professor asked :
“If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.”

The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said:
“Can I ask you a question, professor?”
"Of course," replied the professor.

“Professor, is cold a thing?”
“What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?”
Students laughed at the young man's question.

The young man answered:
“Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.”

The student continued:
“Professor, does darkness exist?”
“Of course it exists.” said the professor.
“You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.”

In the end, the young man asked the professor:
“Sir, does evil exist?”
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
“Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.”

To this, the student answered:
“Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.”

JUST WONDERING HOW MOMS are supposed to work 9-5, drop the kids off at school at 8 AM, pick them up by 3 PM, stay on top of school activities, meal prep, cook dinner, keep the house clean, do the laundry, run the kids to extracurricular activities, climb the corporate ladder, save sick days for when the kids are sick, be a good friend, daughter, and partner, all while trying to take care of their own body and mental health…
