I even wonder why people spend their money to buy what adds no nutritional value to their body and that pomo can smell in the market eh! Kai! Na to dey pray make e no be when you dey pass, the pomo seller dey throwey the smelly water. Chai!

The ones that smell are those ones they have soaked in whatever nonsense and chemical to soften it.

Premium ponmon, especially the one from the cow head or legs, doesn't smell. It has a slimy core and tastier, albeit expensive.

People no dey get sense. They said be careful because a lot of ponmo is treated with chemicals and illegally diverted. People are there shouting "NO... I will eat it." Then they will complain about kidney failure and blame it on village people. angry

This thread is hilarious. grin
So that's how you will vote Nafdac out if you were to go with either Nafdac or kpomo and kpomo will win? Chai! cheesy
Anyway, while it's good they alerted us, I guess the fault belongs to the govt if they were diverting leathers meant for industrial use for consumption.
Govt should beef up more securities in the borders. What happens to due process of importing the leathers and monitoring them up to the final destination? Let the authorities concerned sit up and live up to their respective responsibilities.

production of shoes and other leather materials would be cheaper if most animal hides are not eaten but used for the purpose.

Ravon:
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) wishes to use this medium to ALERT the general public and in particular consumers of animal hides popularly known as PONMO in local parlance on the activities of some unscrupulous businessmen and traders who are selling industrial animal hides as food.

As far back as 2015, following intelligence reports, the Agency, through Investigation and Enforcement Directorate, had been successfully dealing with isolated cases of dangerous diversion of animal hides meant for industrial use into the food chain for consumption as local delicacy PONMO. This practice poses a grave danger to public health.

Investigations revealed that some of the companies legally imported hides from countries such as Lebanon and Turkey, while the majority of the product was smuggled into the country through the porous borders.

These imported animal hides are meant for industrial use by leather industries for the manufacture of items such as shoes, bag, belt etc. The hides, therefore, are pretreated with industrial chemicals which are not of food-grade and will be toxic and injurious to human health. Health hazards inherent in the consumption of such animal hides include risk of Liver, Kidney and Heart damage, increased risk of Aplastic anaemia, Central nervous system toxicity, cancer, etc.

Livestock farmers are also to note that industrial animal hides can also not be used to manufacture animal feed, as the associated chemicals will be stored in the tissues of these animals and will eventually end up in humans when consumed with the attendant deleterious effects listed above.

The general public is hereby encouraged to be very vigilant and exercise discretion when purchasing animal hides PONMO and indeed other food items. NAFDAC is fully alive to her responsibilities of assuring the safety, wholesomeness and quality of processed foods offered for sale to the public. In this regard, the Agency has increased the tempo of targeted and aggressive routine (unannounced) inspections to monitor activities of animal hide merchants to ensure that only food-grade animal hide (PONMO) is sold as food article in our markets.

Some ppl hate the Fulani; yet cannot resist cow meat so much so they even consume the hides and skins that should have gone to make our shoes, belts and bags - thereby limiting and under mining our leather exports and foreign exchange earnings.

Uncle, I lived in UK for 4 years. Doing my Masters and student job.
Chicken is damn cheap. Same in America. I was TIRED, TIRED TIRED TIRED of eating chicken.
I was just adding weight anyhow!
That is how cheap chicken is for western world. Some how fish is expensive. Naija wey, I no fit see meat eat for eba.

If someone can eat chicken anyhow, what is he looking for with punmo?

You are are here in Nigeria, you have not experienced it. That's why you think Nigerians are being wasteful.

No they are not. They are hungry and malnourished. That's why people eat punmo
Something that just RESEMBLES meat small.
