If we produce our own food locally, there will be no need to ripen with carbide. Most likely they are imported fruits.

Very sad that people value money more than human lives.

Once I bought a banana bunch looking ripe and ready to eat. Took it home to my family, peeled the first one to discover it's unripened inside.
Ii didn't need a soothsayer to tell me the seller used substances to hasten the ripening process of that fruit. I had to apologise to my kids and made them know the dangers behind eating such food.
To the bin it all went. And of course I no longer buy any food from that woman on my junction.

Most of the fruits sold in Lagos falls within such .

Especially Mangoes and Bananas...infact there's nothing that could make me buy Mangoes in Lagos, it's just too obviously

They have created awareness, they can't police everyone, if you have information about any wrong doing, throw it open so it can be followed.

Awareness and not follow-up? Indeed. Just wondering if late Dora did only awareness. Interesting. undecided
