 Residents of Ogun State say that the federal government is insensitive to the plight of Nigerians following the proposed ban on animal skin, popularly known as Pomo. The residents made their concerns known through a survey conducted by a correspondent Habibat Ajay, who visited food canteens within Abiyokutadi Ogun State capital. Adela Buadeshola is a businesswoman. She claims that her customers demand Pomo more than the normal meat, lamenting that an average Nigerian is left with no other option than Pomo, shall appeal to the federal government to provide alternatives for the average Nigerian. That is wrong because people love to eat Pomo too much, like in my canteen here. I sell Pomo more than meat because people love to eat it. It is fatless. If they should ban it, it is going to affect so many things. There are so many people in the market who sell Pomo, especially they come from Ijebu. Well, which bridge should they venture into if they should ban Pomo? So the federal government should please look into that because things are so much expensive. And because of that, so many people prefer when they have little money, they can easily buy Pomo with little money and prepare food for their family. But when they ban Pomo, I don't know which other products they can use that little money to buy. I would feel bad because one of my favorite delicacies is Pomo. So, medically or nutritionally, they said the Nigerians argue that Pomo has no nutritional values. But despite that, I cherish Pomo, I like it. Whenever I see it, I buy it. Even in all my food, I want to put a vegetable soup or anything I will ask for Pomo. And if it is banned, I don't know how good it feels. A cross-section of respondents also advise the government at all levels and critical stakeholders to concentrate more on other crucial issues affecting the economy of the country. I may agree with them that it might not have its nutritional value. Looking at the economical value, I think it should not be banned because the common man cooks Pomo every day, they eat Pomo every day. Meat is too expensive with the market, chicken is expensive. All other proteins, they are very expensive. And if you look at it, Pomo is like something people fall back to when they want to cook. What I recommend to come up with that proposal to ban Pomo, for me, it's an insensitive and it's just an issue that the government is trying to lay on, trying to cover up for other issues that are jamming to the Nigerian economy. But Pomo, another Nigerian is just something that you just want to live by and not just what you feel like eating in the first place.
