In new benin market in edo state some wicked meat sellers will pourfresh meat blood on old meat n give you the impression that it is fresh from the abbatoir and when you cook it smh for the smell that comes forth. How about fruits that are forced to rippen with some harmful substances or even fried akara that they add garri to.I could go on and on. God save us from the hands of the wicked 2 Likes |

@ topic. I don't know the exact reason why but aside from the wicked unscrupulous nameless traders who add stones/concrete debris to beans to make it plenty or the ones who spike bread with bromate so when greedy ppl see it they hastily buy the big poison, or the ones who boil corn with saccharide; what pains me most is when you see a quality promising brand(food, confectionary etc) which perhaps understandably offers low penetration price at introduction only to begin to 'monkey' with quality until finally the product is reduced to utter nonsense. Why not charge more and maintain quality, and create another cheap brand to satisfy those who can't be bothered with what they eat? You wonder what the SON and consumer protection are doing? 2 Likes |

If the Beninese don't buy Nigerian food because they believe Nigerian food is adulterated, then they have good standards, and I would want to purchase the food they have to sell here in Nigeria. The same for Cameroon. As much as I love Nigeria as a proud Nigerian, health and safety comes first. |

Well u can't per-say blame dose who do such evil act if NAFDAC are doing their job well and not concentrating on only drugs where dey could get bribe from I think they would have fished this evil market men n woman out n am sure is because they know that dis people can't briibe them with huge amounts that why they are left out well I think their name should be changed from NAFDAC to Nation agency for drugs control(NADC)iit would be better so we nigerians cn watch out 4 ourselves I think we are use to it.... |

Even canned foods. Bought a carton of so called original exter corn beef Argentina for those that know it and opened the first tin,there was no oil and d beef looked like horse meat and I opened d rest to be sure and there were not like d normal corn beef I use to know so I tied my scarf around my waist and went back to meet my customer in Wuse market whom is the biggest distributor and he said others have been complaining and they have complained to the importer but they still get d same product. Please people if you buy product you are familiar with and it seems it has change and they was no advert about rebranding on it,please don't use even if the expiration date is far.all these people that go tru rubbish bins pick up containers and sell to some company that make all these fake goods |
