A statement from the European Food Safety Authority says the food substances were banned because they 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.

Is that so?hmmm
Okay
Hmmmm. I pray dis should b looked into so dat our fellow Nigerians can get Nigeria foods to eat over there in Europe.
Hian! This is not a good omen.
I guessed Nigeria was warned about the impending ban.

I call dis bad market's for Nigerians...
Nawa oooo
Thank you Jasmine! Someone who gets it! Granted we can do better when it comes to QA/QC, but we should be weary about the methods western "imperialist" try to stifle african development.
Na wa o. E no concern me sha
Too bad
And does clowns will be showing themselves all over the media just for cheap and shameless show of "we are working"! Where as the most simplest and common task are being neglected.
Very baseless ban!!
Please go to school so you can understand the issue at Stake, olodo Rabat.
This is where regulatory agencies work not here.
Now exporters will sit up and up their game. As for the items they are still allowed to export, they will take the time to make them up to standard, putting quality first rather than gains.

THOSE BAND THINGS NEVER REACH US FOR NIGERIA
WE CHOP THEM HERE BY OURSELF
My people let us all be very objective with our responses. Our house is not in order and it take foreigners to expose our yash (pardon me).
NAFDAC, SON and other regulatory bodies have failed us considerably and the poor populace are the one at the receiving end with health issues so rampant than ever before (the high incident of Kidney failures, Infertility, Cancer etc which was alien to us is vey much at the forefront with India gaining from our pain. There is virtually no family who does not have someone who has visited India).
You need to see how Beans is preserved at Iddo lagos with chemicals unfit for human consumption (Ever noticed you can keep beans out for a long while with out bugs eating it? or when you cook beans do you notice the dark colored water and smell - even white beans)

I don't just know...

Thanks God I don't eat Nigerian dish safe for akpu... #winks
#Dankwata
All these are measures to for Nigeria into legalising gaysm but they have failed. Next you will our oil is not good enough. We know their games
That means we gonna have the banned food in abundant over here and cheap at that.. When therr 's a casting down there's a raising up..#Shoki
Nigeria exports food?!!! I didn't know that!
Ha, where is Abacha?I miss him,please apply reciprocal laws, and ban all foods from EU too
Pls how?
U see these. Evil Europeans! It time we look for allies elseWhere. Nigeria progress with growing internally by exploring universal science to grow domesticated technology at various frontiers. They are looking to how Nigeria can be destroyed!
This explains why cancer,kidney failure etc are on rampage in Nigeria.
So what does this say about the food we are consuming in Nigeria?. The regulators need to ensure that food is health for Nigerians to eat.
Eat it yourself
Exactly my thoughts before something bad happens and we start calling Devil. Linda take note!

Na wa o
That is what you get when CBN banned importation of some items. It is called trade war in advanced economics. Honestly putting a ban on importation is not the ideal way to grow local industries and currency. CBN should know, Emefiele should know.

Nigeria is not cursed u are! Foolish idiot.
Africa for Africans. The African market is large enough to sustain each country's agricultural economy.
Pan Africanism is the way forward for us but the West will continue to make any part of Africa at any given moment in time a hostile environment.
The real kicker will be to discover that the very same dichlorvos pesticide is produced in the EU and supplied by the same EU to Nigerian farms.
Order in the midst of chaos is the Illuminati way.
U dont have sense....if u know what this means u wont sound so ignorant...in civilised countries ,the citizens will rise against govt to do proper regulation and not have citizens poisoned..u shud be telling ur govt to sit up instead of demonising the white man...they are progressing and protecting their citizens- ask ur govt to protect u!
Itz thesame food u eat....so itz not just for d people abroad,please!
Ps...its not for nigerians its for everybody over there!
Thank you for your comments! The only sensible one here. It amazing how others who commented can't see the big picture here. They are indirectly telling Nigerians that our food is poisonous! NAFDAC needs to do more for the wellbeing of Nigerians
U r a liability to ur tribe!
i thot as much...
Ur brain is weak! U think it means excess food?
U think falling oil prices favours nigeria economically too? Abi?
Do u know what foreign exchange is?
i thot as much...
Good talk!
I wonder what kind of education Nigerians receive. Can't you think? What a stupid comment!
Think ! Use ur head! Why are so many LIBers so shallow in their analysis of things? What level of education do u have?
U dont have sense @ all- chai !!!!
Open display of nescience!
U didnt say we should investigate our regulators..u didnt say oh how do we prevent a recurrence? Oh how did it happen,for how long?what is the perceived risk to our population already? What research do we need to do to follow up citizen's health?
But no!!! Ur brain rather to also block EU food!
I pity u!!! Leaders of tomorrow indeed!
Na sawdust and maggot dey ur brain!!!
This I simple, no white people eat African food overseas it is other Africans for a start. Nigeria imports very cheap fertilizer that I banned in a lot of other countries because of the residue it leaves in food. So get it right it has nothing to do with anyone stifling anyone else's development, it is Nigerians themselves hindering it. Why not understand it is only yourself you are hurting by eating chemicals, it leaves people with cancer and serious illnesses for which Nigeria is not equipped to handle.
-my view-
Now, this is a really sad thing to happen to Nigeria at this time, with the fall in oil price and the recently signed Iran deal which will further cripple the price of oil, Nigeria has been looking for ways to boost non oil trade to improve our balance of payment position and we get this type of news? The truth is that organisations like NAFDAC and COBALT should stop paying lip service and start doing their jobs. farmers should be educated on the right pesticides and fertilizers to use, and if the one they use is not acceptable by foreign countries, FG should ban its import and subsidise the ones permissible by the foreign markets.
Now, if these products cannot be allowed into these countries bcos of harm dat they might cause to their people, shouldn't they be banned in Nigeria as well? or na we sabi eat rubbish or wat?
Nigeria better wake up and start putting structures in place to enable our products gain access into foreign markets and to also compete favourably in those markets.
oya make we dey see wetin FG go do now, may be CBN go issue more circulars to further save our FX.
Mtcheeeeeeew
DO YOU BLAME THEM WITH THE RATE AT WHICH CANCER IS RAVAGING THE WORLD.
NAFDAC SITS AND DOES NOTHING
This is very simple na, reduce the amt of pesticides and preservatives applied to this crops.. In that food we consume in Nig will be safer for us and them.
Time for Nigerians to enjoy what we have... excess food everywhere at cheaper rate
This is it...they only teach us these things in school. as an agricultural science student, I know how toxic the residue of these chemicals are in foodstuffs but then we have to regulatory body to watch these things, they ban pesticides is US and we still keep using them here, I wonder what our FEPA does
And akpu is what?
More food for us. Yipeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imbecile
I love ur idea of reciprocity. But are we strong enough.Abacha regime didn't really rely on dem
May God forgive you zina
Planned, they want to put nigeria in a tight spot so she has no choice but to accept "Gayism" #Godsaveus
Anonymous 1:31pm, I also find it quite alarming. The reasoning faculty of some of the people that comment here is a cry for help for the Nigerian society and educational sector! I have since given up though.

Economy ruining policies designed for Africa.
Please keep flooding European countries whichever way possible through illegal immigration, move 25% of your population to feed on their social welfare system.
Focus on economic ties with Asian nations and South America so that you can reject European exports.
Eyss you commenters dont be useless. O! Its obviously a sarcastic comment
