THE IGBO GIANT STRIDES AGAINST ALL ODDS
9 years ago
They have taken over major highways and strategic locations in and around the Federal capital Territory, Abuja.
Yes, the merchants of the mouth organ business (an acronym for maize-sellers derived from the similarity in the manner of its consumption to a mouth organist) are having a field day as they continue to gain patronage from people from all walks of life. Utility vehicles racing on high speed suddenly grounds to a halt at the sight of the mouth organ vendors and it has been a win win situation for the buyers and sellers alike. But why do you need the mouth organ this season? Well, according to nutritionists, maize is a high energy,
calorie-rich food and studies have revealed that it provides 20 per cent of the calories consumed by humans across the world. Also, Its high level of insoluble fibre helps to speed the transit of food through the bowels. This is helpful in a number of ways, ranging from the management of constipation to the prevention of various types of bowel and colon cancer.”

The concern however is how long will these merchants ply their trade in a hawking unfriendly city like Abuja remains to be seen. But until when the dreaded Abuja Environmental Protection Agency swoop on them, I enjoin you to take out time and grab your mouth organ now.
