The European Union Places Embargo on Some Food Products From Nigeria

Displaying 20150801_003307-1-1.jpg

The European Union [EU] has placed an embargo on some food export from Nigeria. Some of the food products includes beans, sesame seeds, melon seeds [egusi], dried fish, dry meat, peanut chips and palm oil.

A statement from the European Food Safety Authority says the reason for the ban was because those food items contained ‘a high level of unauthorized pesticide.’

Nigerian beans was banned because it contained between 0.03mg per kg to 4.6mg/kg of dichlorvos pesticide when the acceptable maximum residue limit is 0.01mg/kg. The ban on the food substances will expire in 2016. 


 According to some news agencies, the EU has been issuing warnings to Nigeria that the items constitute danger to human health due to a high level of unauthorized pesticide. The EU said it had issued 50 notifications to Nigerian beans exporters since January 2013. Also, the United Kingdom  issued 13 border rejection alerts to Nigerian beans exporters between January and June 2015. 
This is no doubt a big set-back for a nation that is already going through a rough period from reduction in oil income.

Palmer has been named by Zimbabwean officials as the killer of Cecil, the beloved Lion who usually roamed within the confines of Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, and now many people, especially animal lovers are outraged. Cecil, a 13-year-old lion was lured out of it’s Sanctuary. According to sources, the lion wandered out of his Sanctuary following the scent of a potential snack, not knowing that it was a lure by the predators who wanted their prey to cross into unprotected territory so the could have the best bargain out of him.

Cecil, a well known lion with a unique black mane, was reportedly killed on July 1, outside Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park and was beheaded afterwards. According to news reports citing Zimbabwean authorities, Walter James Palmer, a dentist from Bloomington, Minnoesota paid about $55,000 for the hunt or sport of slaying wildlife for trophies. The first shot, which came from Dr. Palmer’s crossbow, was not enough to kill the lion, said the authorities. Cecil was then tracked for nearly two days before Dr. Palmer killed him with a gun. 

Prior to his death, Cecil has been wearing a GPS collar as part of Oxford University research project, they have been tracking him for years which made him very famous.
