PORT-HARCOURT CHICKEN HUNT

These are pictures gotten from our sources of what is happening in Port-Harcourt as at this week. The pictures herein displayed  are of people who are supposedly residents of the City of Port-Harcourt in Nigeria, hunting and exhuming frozen chickens which are already destroyed by the officers of the Nigerian Custom Service.

According to our source, the Nigerian Customs seized some trailer loads of contaminated frozen chickens from smugglers in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State of Nigeria, dug a pit and deposited the cartons of frozen chickens therein and thereafter poured diesel and petrol of the said frozen chickens and buried them.

As shown in the pictures, after the Nigerian Custom Officers must have left the scene, people were seen to be exhuming the already burnt, destroyed and buried chickens with the intention of probably consuming and selling the exhumed chickens.

The pictures are indeed very disturbing and it took the blogger some time to decide to share this post. however, the intention of the blog post is to bring this information to the general public that; these frozen chickens are harmful, they are unsafe for human consumption and has great consequences as regards public health.

Nigerians, most especially the residence of Port-Harcourt city should be more careful in buying their frozen chickens during this period as these same frozen chickens may be sold in the market and may be offered at even ridiculously cheaper rate. However, Nigerians are advised not to be tempted in buying or consuming these chickens, for it may mean the death or grave sicknesses for whomsoever may consume them.

Overall, this post raises the issue of grave poverty and underdevelopment which the Government of Nigeria seriously needs to address for the betterment of the Nigerian society. This is something that the Government agencies, the custom officers, men of the Nigerian Police force, should be able to put an immediately stop to. People will not condescend to exhuming contaminated frozen chickens which have already been burnt, destroyed and buried in such manner, if not for poverty. The Nigerian Government should address the issues of poverty in the country and continue dealing with it, until the complete eradication of poverty is achieved in Nigeria.
