I have always indicated the need for the federal government to take over the duties of local government environmental and sanitation officers. Local governments have failed in Nigeria, so no one is checkmating our market men and women. This is why people sell rotten meat as suya. It is the same reason market people sell drinking garri (uncovered) in the open space, usually beside a filthy blackish gutter with over a million houseflies and rodents.

After drinking that infested piece of crap soaked in ice water and groundnut, they end up spending N5,000 on medical treatment. That's how we recycle poverty in Nigeria. The cost of ignorance is very expensive.

If we hire 500k graduates as environmental specialists, our national health subsidy/insurance budget will be reduced by 60%. Additionally, we would see a remarkable improvement in the purchasing power of the people, our life expectancy over time, and, of course, a reduction in the unemployment rate.

But what do I know? A government bereft of ideas would rather employ 500k youths as political npower agents without roles and responsibilities or 200k personal assistants in ballot snatching and vote buying.

Right now, we are selling sickness in the marketplace and pumping more money to treat preventable illnesses and epidemics.

I have finished eating the rice and i have cut the fish with my mouth and chew the first part before looking at the fish and realising that inside is packed with warms moving out... Big warms.


The woman just said sorry. Thats the end

That was the day i stopped eating in this mama put

Those people that sell tigernut drink are guilty as F. Nobody knows the kind of water they used in preparing the drinks but it's certainly not a pure water. I am. It even talking about the coconut, ginger and other things used in making it and the process they undergo through blending it. The materials used are questionable

Blessedmercy8:
You're right.

I've had to correct a few people about the way the handle their wares in an unhygienic manner.

One was an aboki kiosk that I go to get small stuffs like sweets and all that.

So I got there this day, and saw him coming from a far away canal where went to pee. As he tried to give me the item, I said no. Let me pick it myself. Aboki vex, say if na another person, he'll insult the person o. I tried to make him understand you're just coming from a convenience, you can't just start touching stuff people are consuming. He now claimed he already washed his hand with pure water. He kept arguing but I told him, look, there's nothing bad in correcting you. Just take it in good fate. He now said, it's because it's me o. Huh?

Some people are so dirty.

Mpcoll001:
This is one of the reasons I hardly eat out. There was a day I saw a fruits vendor washing the fruits he is selling. The water he is using had turned black already and he kept on using same water to wash other fruits ...

I can never buy apple, cucumber, and other ready to eat fruit outside and eat without thoroughly washing it myself... Nawa oo

IMO, The most part of hygiene is thought at home. Schools only teach it theoretically. It was my mom who taught me how to sponge myself properly, brush my tongue and inner corners of mouth and teeth, wash my clothes properly, the list goes on.

Hygiene is a form of consciousness, once one is trained with it... It will reflect in everything facet of you actions

PointZerom:


What will it take us to buy corn and prepare pap for our family consumption.

JaskanFactor:
while the Europeans destroying Nigeria have thier hold on the country, nothing is ever going to work or improve.
The only thing you can do in this type of case is to setup local farms on your streets on the side walk etc , in your backyard , on your roof etc so you can have more control over the hygiene of the food you eat.

The colonial masters have imposed too much suffering and hardship on Nigeria for you to trust anybody with food hygiene, cause everybody is too desperate to care so much about hygiene.

Dont assume you have a country, take charge and create local solutions at street level.

O.p like seriously, if i drop down here, lots of my experience, I may end up throwing off on top of my phone

I stop at a particular junction on my way home from work and decided to buy some snacks to keep my mouth busy during the evening. I ordered for egg roll, meat pie and cake. Something stroked my mind and I decided to check sizes and neatness of the snacks the vendor is bringing. Lol , Lo and behold, I saw armies and battalions of flies roaming round the snacks. I quickly tell the vendor to return them back and thank him

The other day, I bought meat pie and saw fly inside

Another day, I bought food and saw cockroach inside

Another day, I saw the owner of a restaurant fetching water from a dirty reservoir to cook

jessylaurel:


You're right. All I do whenever I buy most foodstuffs is.
1. I use frying pan (nonstick) to fry my crayfish before I grind myself at home.
2. I make my pap, akara myself
3. Whenever I buy watermelons( I prefer buying the cut ones because I don't really like watermelons much)always wash before eating.
4. I don't grind my egusi in the market because I buy in large quantities. Whenever I need I wash and blend.

mariahAngel:


You wash already cut watermelon?

jessylaurel:


Yes....I put under running water and just use my hand to whip it. that's before I cut into pieces before eating.

Allisgud:
The day one of those agege bread women went to pee,use pure water wash toto use hand clean wrapper,about to sale bread for somebody,that day I stop buying agage bread

BluntCrazeMan:
SOMETHING VERY BAD AND UNHYGIENIC IS HAPPENING IN OUR FOOD MARKETS

Please....
Which institution, or agency is in charge of sanitising and maintaining the hygiene standards in our markets??
(I guess it is the Ministry of Environmental in the various States.. -- that is,, the Environmental Health Department or Agency).

Do you see all those people that are selling food-items that we are NOT going to wash again before using them, those people should be well educated and enlightened more on extra hygiene.
Most especially those people that are selling Pap (akamu), Garri, Crayfish, Ogbonor, Egusi, Cooked Food, And so on..

They should be taught very well on how to cover those things they are selling with a clean transparent sheet,, and to also have tap-installed buckets filled with water for them to be washing their hands frequently.

The other day,, right in front of me,, one of those women that were selling PAP in the open market had to sneeze.. She sneezed three times while she covered her mouth with her two bare hands... Then she placed those two hands on the pap she was selling,, trying to sell to the next customer that was already waiting..

Eeeuuwww..
So disgusting.!!

emmy512:

SeriouslySense:
For okro soup it will be hard to notice, if someone sneeze big catarrh into it.

Sometimes when someone sneezes, big catarrh come out, and the person will not know, so for okra soup, it will be hard to notice, and you will swallow and say, very delicious.

Food is ready oo, food done land

Toriagirl:
I entered a very clean eatery last week to eat, only for me to finish my meal and I saw this huge dead fly inside my plate, I died and resurrected and all they could say is sorry madam.

The best thing is to buy those raw food and cook it properly in your house because People are really Dirty!







Hit me up for your academic research writing!

missidy:
This reminds me of nysc camp. When it was our platoon's turn to work in the kitchen, we were told to select all the rotten tomatoes into basins. I thought we were to throw them away, only for the chief cook to tell us to take them to the grinding machine. It was that rotten tomatoes we used to cook the jellof rice. From that day I never ate any food in camp, I only ate the things I saw cooked in front of me. I lived on fried yam, fried plantain and noodles until camp was over. I lost so much weight. The same thing goes on in buka's, they use rotten tomatoes to make their stew. I weep for my country.

This is the kinda reasoning that brought us in these mess....
