In the midst of skyrocketing food prices, a Nigerian man named Kelvin Onovo has expressed concern after learning that eggs are cracked open and sold in tiny nylon bags in markets.
In a Facebook post on Friday, April 3, Kevin revealed that the “akwa agbara agba” pack, which costs N500 per egg, has roughly five eggs.
He also expressed concern about the eggs’ hygienic state because their shells provide a natural defense against bacteria.
“They are now selling egg inside nylon and people are actually buying it,” he wrote.
I was in the market yesterday with my wife to bulk buy fruit and I saw this.
Honestly, if anyone had posted this on the internet, I would not have believed it.
This is egg they broke and put inside nylon for people who cannot afford egg, and the shocking thing is that people are buying it.
They call it “akwa agbara agba.”
I had to buy one to make this post. It’s about 5 eggs inside and it’s N500.
I don’t know what to say, mehn.
Would you buy this?
And what do you think would cause egg to be sold this way
Is it even healthy?
