TOP STORY: ‘It has no nutrition’ — FG to ban ‘ponmo’ to revive leather industry | TheCable

Yakubu said the litigation was necessary to revive the comatose leather industry in the country.

“To the best of my knowledge, Nigerians are the only people in the world that overvalue skin as food, after all, Ponmo has no nutritional value,” he said. He also said the current National Leather Policy had addressed some fundamental problems of the sector.

Now that meat is very expensive and the FG wants to ban our almighty substitute for meat.

They must be stupid.

even if it has no nutrient , we still enjoy it as 'show boy'. LOL.

Thunder fire nutrition!

SERAPNigeria AmnestyNigeria amnesty this is the only thing I will support u on. We need to sue the FG.

Looking for more ways to spread poverty as that is their source of control. Smh

This is an attack on the BMC diet. We wee nor take eet.

You people will not understand what is going on they will ban ponmo so we can feed on there so called cow

No need to ban it, the demand to use it for leather would drive prices up and out of reach for those who just want to consume it.

No way a Yoruba man is spear heading this!! The decision must have been taken behind Yoruba excos.

Lol. When PYO on his wisdom brought RUGA, you guys said a lot to criticize it, now no more panmo for your consumption.... Eyes go soon clear 😃 una never know him valeue

We no go free o ponmo delicacy fa💪

It is true o It has no nutritional value.... But we like it like that!!!! Especially the one that swallows too much stew!!!!

Na God go punish all of una oooo Ponmo wey dey help us for bar

Hahahaha

The only available meat for the common man 😂 😂 😂. Unfortunately, the same common man is used for election.

wetin iya basira go do now, chai Tolu kpele

LI’m olpp

Clueless government

Ehhhh Ponmo kika bi tyre? Don't try it biko 😐

I love ponmo!!! Especially the curled one!!! Yummy

Make una try am .try am.

Funny

No nutrition, we no complain. We die here

Misplaced priority. When u vote in mediocre u expect incompetency

If dem born you NigeriaGov well ban pọnmọ

Love this, ponmo is mid and overrated

😂😂😂

It's like this government is looking for anything to ban,why not ban corruption?

My favorite nkwobi he wan ban he should ban suya & kilishii too

Well, I don't know how to comment on this..

Good. At least its one thing we may be doing right. It has no nutritional value.

I thought APC supporters are Ponmo boy .. so una self they eat am 😊😊Mofo ooo

If na this one go make the country break make e break. We will not take this affront on the masses.

Be Like Everyone For Aso Rock Dey Share One 🧠🧠🧠

Common Airlines they can not do it

Nobody should try borokoto oh

Who nutrition epp?

Nigerians have been eating pomo long before those trying to change the law were born. How come it is only now that the eating of pomo has been found to affect the tanning/leather products industry? Something fishy is going on.

Build ranches and breed the cattle you need for leather and the ones for kpomo. You are only going to make it more expensive, no one is going to stop eating or selling it because of your ban.

Wahala for ponmo lovers

So ponmo don turn contraband like this?

😂😂😂What does that has to do with reviving the leather industry?

They better bane leather and promote pomo industry!

Ponmo that our ancestors ate ereach our turn, federal government wan use am play politics. Abeg make una focus ooo. Ponmo is not one of the pressing issues in this country that needs the urgent attention of the government.

'...ban ponmo to revive leather industry.' When you read rib cracking policy statements like these, it makes you want to pinch yourself just to be sure you are not living in a fictional country. Oh snap! Nigeria is actually a fictional contraption without any sense of identity

How will egusi survive now😂

I remember when Prof. Placid Njoku was the head of the Nigerian Institute of Animal Science and I saw a headline that read 'We are eating our shoes'. Unfortunately, people will fight this as if it is not an intellectually thought-out suggestion.

Dem never ban Cigarette and beer wey no get nutritional benefits na Kanda be their problem.

Na government they pay for am? Watin concerned government for watin person carry him money buy

Is it ur business if it doesn't have nutritional Value? Are u the one eating it? Does cigarettes have nutritional Value? Have u banned it? Pls let the poor still have to eat

showunmi_rofiat sign me up for a ponmo black market? Surely, Dapo Abiodun can prove useful once

Ponmo wey everyone dey take hold body cuz things don't cost e reach Ur regime u wan ban ponmo,well small pikin wey talk say na fowl head him go chop when he grew up,fowl head will not allow him to grow up 😂

And how is that your business?

Awon oloriburuku somebdy!!!!una sha won kill us 4 dis country abi?olohun oni fun yin se ooo(Amen)wetin we dey use hold food in front of visitors na him una won band abi?leave the nutrition 4 person wey dey chop am nah abi wetin be una own dere nah?.

But Doctor told us that 'ponmo' has protein Haba, doctor

Abii e no wan better for FG again ?

Leave our POMO for us! If you claim that it doesn't have nutrients, we like the taste. God made animals and other things for our use. Besides, those that need animal skin for shoes & bags should price us out of the market, instead of banning

_screenshoter

First government policy I support Uzosecond

Which Legislative Body passed this bill or has the FG Passed such bill? It’s insane to see this crazy news. Never!!!

If they try it, we will riot!!!

They should revive our refineries first confused government

Misplaced priority

They should not try it o,wetin we dey take do shock absorber...

FG una fit even ban air and water but see dis ponmo, make we no dey use serious thing dey play. Abeg

It's high time .... Leather business far more lucrative than Ponmo consumption... Waste of Resources.

Another misplaced priority.

Ladies and gentlemen , we are about to witness a rise in the price of Ponmo 🚶🏽‍♂️

Am in support of it 💯

🤣🤣🤣

This is annual threat for over decades

Imporsikant. How can? Ponmo flat, curve, curvy, alata, peppered with onions, ugba & utazi, iteji leave garnishing, richly endowed for the Masses. Pls ooo.

Is better... Despite all sensitisations that it lacks nutritional values...

Make una just say na war against Yoruba people una want start!😂 However, how can a country without research facilities conclude that kpomo has no nutrition? Where is the evidence? Back it up with facts and research. My Yoruba people I hail o😂😂

Who said it has no nutritional value? Fmohnigeria

Wen there are not mad

g_diets_ Are you going to sit down and let them slander Ponmo?

This is the height of it!!

Tor. Mama iyabo don lose market.

Won o mi fe te!

Crazy people with crazy ideas so we must be deprived of food for production of leather. What will happen if there is increase in cow production.

Efe ri werey Abi!!!! After meat and fish have become costly. You better plan your leather factory revival very well.

If ona try añ !

God abeg..what is life without peppered ponmo 😩

Ko le woerk. Iya Ruka Rice 150, Beans 50, Ponmo 2 Meji. U won ban Ponmo. Bandanani😱

Better

coachokore sorry bro

They are playing sha

This is has a lot of fibre which is healthy for y'all including them.

We are not even eating it for the nutrition. Beef now don't cost the small ponmo wey we dey manage, they wan take am away from us. Na waoh

If una try am😠

It must give leather when eaten I guess

Lol 😂

Oyindamorela_ do you believe headlines?

It will not work, as long as 1 square ft of ponmon continues to fetch more money than the equivalent at the tannery. An article will naturally flow in the direction of better monetary reward.

If being foolish, at least it makes your food extra sweet.

Allow us chop our prada abeg

g_diets_ is this true?

Fake news

AAmokee

Let's vote for APC to continue from here. By the time they ban your life, you'll get sense by force.

Ponmo Junction. Dey are killing innocent People

Misplaced priority....clueless leaders.

Yes. but it test good ehen, the peppered one.

🤣

If FG ban ponmo, I go protest. Shey na pọnmọ kill leather industry ni?

Na where dem go see my red eye be dis 🤬

And many of una here Dey support Apc

Lol, Professor Bana with PhD in Banomics. How about creating incentives for both leather manufacturers and cattle farmers? Going full throttle on ranching to make leather harvesting easier and cheaper? Na only ban una sabi.

OfficialSamAyo 👀👀

How can that be possible

It is rich in nutrients.

The ban should start from its import. Go to the Apapa port, yes Nigerians import kpomo in containers. You have to see the maggots. The stretch from the container is another story, you may want to think twice before you bite a kpomo the next time you are served some in a plate.

We like am like that.

Make dem no try am at all😡

Dat lawmaker is caping

Ponmo that is a source of Joy, Job creation, Enjoyment... The people will protest

They just want to make us beg them for our daily bread. Look at the steel company they started, look at the refineries, look at the textile mills, look at the palm oil industry, they have succeeded in killing it and now they want us crying for our meat💔

Poor people are in mess in this country. The ponmo they have been using to hold body is about to be banned. Funny enough, ponmo is not even meant for the poor alone.

Pls remove fuel subsidy and leave ponmo alone, ponmo to mu ata pelu jedi hahahaha kilode

Ahhhh. Please don't try it 😂

FG should stop this erekere o. Iru palapala wo niyen

babymeee come n c o

Logical thing to do is to Revive the leather industry first. Once the industry starts to source ponmo as its raw material, market forces should/may force ponmo out of the consumption range. But no!, first thing they want to do is to 'ban'. Same way they closed border for rice.

Misplace priority.

Misplaced priority, why choose what we’d eat? I love it abeg

😂You'll think that after the ban prices of leather will come down but it will keep going up like every other thing. Locally manufactured goods are more expensive than imported goods.

showboy(ponmo).......FG don confused..

This had better be cruise..

Instead of boosting cow production, they will always choose to easy part that will always not work. Same way they thing the only way to boost local production is border closure.

Misplaced priorities

Our almighty ponnmo? Ema koja aye yin ooo🌚

Advantage Ikeme

When the economy has provided a good alternative? What the fuck!☹️☹️☹️

A very useless government

Is it FG nutrient?Abeg live it.

Shey FG is mad ni

😂😂 expensive joke

Ban this ban that werey govt

Lol...really?

The federal government should expand availability for the industry by vitalising cow production via industrial ranching. What we eat is a drop in the ocean. Dont try it

Another unemployment in disguise

Ponmo boys have no option than to lead a serious revolution campaign against buhari

In Nigeria the only thing our leaders improve everyday is failure, among all the things to ban... Na ponmo? After smoking delicious loud, one will speak rubbish the other one with gavel will knack. Kpom ' the eyes have it'

Clueless govt 😂

... and I hope they'll likely provide affordable meats for the poor masses 😳

If E possible them fit ban the air wey we dey breath

We will protest in the South-West

When FG doesn’t want GOD to punish him/her

So what will the common man eat? Even now is very expensive to afford and you want to ban it. This is the meat of the common man.

Funny FG

Person wey chop ponmo na 3years imprisonment 😂😂😂

Una dey crazy... Ban ponmo for where...

FG wey dey ban other things get value? We sef need ban una

Just imagine, what sort of a wicked govt is these ehnn? now they have realise that this is D only thing the Poor are using to sustain themselves to make sure their Pot of Soup is not empty they want to Ban it anyway Crayfish they What A Government! Buhari Shall Not End Well Amen

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they can only say it but we will still keep eating it.... Naija na Cruse

Make una leave am for us abeg.

We need to revive our leather industry... One thing we don't like in Nigeria is the truth

Watin Yorubas go the chop now

We'll went after Jonathan when he said this... Now we are back here...

E be like say Una want make Yorubas resume agitation for Oduduwa Republic?

The Ponmo many Nigerians are still struggling to buy then add with fish or meat to cook different soups, FGN want to ban it. Are the people eating the Ponmo complaining or what? The money FGN wanted to spend on reviving leather industry can be use to revive other dead industries.

224.65kcal of energy, 6.80g of carbohydrate, about 43.9g of water, 46.9g of protein, 1.09g of fat, and 0.02g of fibre. For micronutrients, it contains small amounts of calcium (61mg), iron (4.3mg), magnesium (12mg), phosphorus (36mg) and Zinc (6.79mg)

If tanneries are working and profitable no one will want to sell Ponmo for consumption, they will automatically sell it to were they will make more money. Banning will just make ponmo sellers unemployed and ponmo unaffordable to the masses.

Someone said its good for those with anthritis,🤷🤷

Make them no try that nonsense ooh

Finally. They should ban that rubbish and incarcerate all those who eat it.

I wish

Make una no try dat rubbish

They should ban children of government officials from schooling abroad to improve education that is more important than pomo

Misplaced priority. If you people don't know what to do let me suggest for you guys..just give is steady power and security we will sort out the rest .

Haaaa...... Me wey like ẹ̀fọ́ riro with pọnmo Ìjẹ̀bú... Is even sweet inside Ìkọ́kọrẹ́ Ìjẹ̀bú, please help us govt, just regulate it don't ban, abeg you 😭😭😭😭

Your own is just to ban anything that gives Nigerians joy.

You people don't know the main problem of Nigeria

Ok
