Must Read: Twitter User, Anna Marie, Exposes Shocking Details Of How Nigerian Street Foods Are Breeding Organ Failure And Cancer
A concerned Nigerian, Anna Marie-Therese took to her Twitter handle to expose sordid details of how many business owners in Nigeria run their trades at the expense of the health and well being of human lives. In her eye-opening thread, Anna, who described herself as a book lover in her bio, noted with disappointment how wicked we are to one another, but how we continually find it convenient to blame the government for all of our woes as a country.
Therese said scientists under the umbrella of the Nigerian Food Sciences and Technology Institute went round Abuja to inspect markets and they made heartbreaking discoveries.
According to her, it was found that people who fry ‘akara‘, puff-puff, and other snacks in the markets the officials visited at Utako and Garki markets mixed transformer oil with vegetable/groundnut oil. A popular detergent was found to be used also in the fermentation of popular Nigerian staple, cassava.
Deadly insecticides and other worrisome substances were found to be incorporated into the foods that many people buy and consume on a daily basis.
