UncleSnr:
But why did our forefathers live long?

Good question Op answer

It hurts your eyes and contaminates food. Some of the dust of the charcoal finds its way into the food while fanning or tasting

use stove or electric cooker if you are trying to be economical

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

poverty is the reason

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.

brother i strongly disagree

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.

Maybe they were stronger then

princeemmac:

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

its now stove dat doesnt hurt ur eyes
Electric cooker bah in nigeria?
Wiv which light?
U guys shd be realistic for ones u want to copy d whites dat has got light every sec to a country stil rotating d light day among strreets.
Whites will drop poo at ur finger tips and u adhere to it they always shout earthquake dont dig d ground dont do dis to d ground dont do dat
Na dem dig pass na dem get earthquake pass
Cancer dis cancer dat dont eat canned food na dem produce canned food pasa na dem get cancer pass
it will take more dan write ups to convince me bou firewood

Stove doesn't hurt the eyes if you set it properly and the fire is moderately set.

inverters are available and affordable for electric cookers

oya give more excuses

firewood isn't hygienic because you have to cook it outside and the public air is highly filthy and toxic.while tasting the food and leaving raw food outside to pour inside pot you are exposing the food to lots of bacteria. Meanwhile you can catch food borne diseases from there

I'm waiting for more excuses

But do you know that nigeria is ranked least in africa for cooking gas usage yet she has the highest gas reserve. But countries like india has richly embraced it.Evn ghana .And its a fact that gas has lower Greenhouse emission, its safer and more convenient and i will even say cheaper. The truth is gas people only think gas is for the rich and shy away from it

Again for the last time for once in ur entire life time be realistic
How many can afford inverter?
Do u consider all stratas of d economy likke d rich average and poor cos its like u neglectin d poor wiv ur write ups?
how many can buy and maintain an inverter?
Please i dont like talkin to people wiv fantacy mind
Ok its d same white dat dont generate more harmful smoke dan firewood smoke ind air tru their process of manufacturing from companies? Or why is cancer rate high among them?
If u ask dem why they deal wiv harmful substancea they tell u ita for their survival
Over here to fire wood is our survival
Period!!!!!!

Please reread my post. I have edited it and added some things to it


in addition the environment these foods are prepared with firewood is not clean


dustbin close by, gutter near by, filthy rags used to open the large pot and it's that same hands they use in fanning they will use in sweeping and mixing food.

I have watched them closely. Many firewood practitioners cook with high disregard for hygiene

I pray the change that Buhari promised will come to little things like this, the got has to come into it and provide incentives so that things like gas will be more available and affordable

Small camp gas is 3500 naira and to refill it is 800 naira and you can use it for as long as 2months plus depending on how you use it. If

stop talking like this sir.if you are infected with typhoid cholera or food borne disease do you know how much thousands you will spend on drugs before you feel better. Your health is more important. It is an healthy man that can eat

I am not judging anybody and I can never because we are what we are BY THE GRACE OF GOD


I shouldn't be saying this but because I need you to understand I will say it

on my way to work very early in the morning around 6.30am I saw a woman around our estate checking through the dustbins in front of houses and I had to call the security and ask him how and why did he allow this woman enter here. He said he didn't know that he's sorry. He left the main gate opened and slept off in his cubicle because he didn't have a sound sleep. Then I told him to search her because I'm aware ritualists are on the prowl stealing used pads etc


there was nothing dangerous on her. I then asked the security to go and asked her why she's busy searching dustbins she said she's looking to see anything useful for her to sell because she's hungry.i was touched because she was carrying baby at her back and so I went to give her a hot plate I'm not using again. Of course I know she can't use it
I gave her to sell and some of the clothes I don't wear with 2k.she knelt down to thank me as if i gave her the world. I know it meant much to her


I don't know her from Adam but I know I touched a life. Therefore don't say what you don't know

like I said earlier Sir this people don't care about cleanliness and pubic sanitary. I'm aware they use well water to cook. All this akara sellers and food vendors use well water and firewood to cook. The plastic theyuse Iin fetching water in the well has green fungai because they think it's not necessary to wash it


some of them don't close their Wells

they don't even wash their hands before cooking and add firewood germs to it
