NIGERIA 🇳🇬 IS ABOUT TO LOOSE IT'S FOOD SOVEREIGNTY 🚨

Nigeria’s National Assembly is currently pushing HB 2659 (the Nutritionists Registration Council of Nigeria Bill). While lawmakers claim it's meant to "stop quackery," civil society groups are raising serious red flags about what this bill actually hides.

local chefs, traditional food experts, and elders who pass down indigenous food knowledge will face heavy fines or up to two years in prison for practicing without a corporate license.

Section 32 of the bill also allows this new regulatory council to accept foreign funding and grants ( Bill gates and his GMO guys).

If this bill is passed, traditional chefs who do not follow the standard being set by bill gates, through Nigerian law makers, will face 2 years in prison and a heavy fine.

1. What's wrong with the set of minds, known as Nigerian political leaders, who could allegedly conduct themselves in such an unpatriotic manner as portrayed in this news report? 

2. Do these political "leaders" really understand the place of Africa in the global scheme of things? 

3. Do they really understand that the external powers of the world merely view Africa as a hunting ground, a bird of prey?

4. Do these so-called political leaders have any sense of history? 

5. Are other Nigerians, including Nigerian Civil Society leaders, just asleep and helplessly watching?

6. Can conscientious Nigerians rise up before your country is completely sold out by these compromised political "leaders?" 

7. Is it safe to assume that because these political leaders are compromised--as their actions have implied--they now wittingly serve as tools in the hands of forces that don't mean well for the country?

8. When is enough, enough?
