Burkina Faso has wholeheartedly embraced GMO, and applying it to its agric products, including Cotton and Onions. The onions are being transported by truck loads to Ghana, and our "not-so-literate" wives and mothers are using it in every meal!
What baffles me is if GM foods are so good and safe, why is Europe vehemently resisting it? I know, down here, we are least equipped to analyse even a portion of it.

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO
a companion of the black star!

If you have nothing better to say, sit down and watch your screen and don't write nonsense!

Mr. Duke Tagoe is a hero! This is not an issue about names! Go and look for Mobuto's name and ask yourself if that made him an anti-imperialist!

No child is responsible for the name given him or her by the parents. We are talking about the contamination of our food and its control by foreign multinationals of doubtful intentions and capabilities.

Is the name Duke a GMO? Does it contaminate your food? Go and wear brains!

Nana Akyea, Zomabi's comment is not entirely out of line.

Just like the food, the politics, the culture, the social norms and practically everything else, these evil white people have tried to poison us in all these sectors.

Much as you are also right in pointing out that this is not tyhe subject of discussion, we also need to keep in mind that we also need to get rid of these stupid European names and behavioral trends and get back our culture by re-adopting our own African names and attitudes.

Food Sovereignty Ghana demonstrates against GM products

Saturday 12th October, 2013

Accra, Oct, 12, GNA - Food Sovereignty Ghana (FSG), on Saturday embarked on a public march to create awareness on some critical agricultural policies on the introduction of Genetically Modified food into the local food chain.

The exercise, which was part of international solidarity campaign against Genetically Modified Orgasms (GMO), saw staff and members of the group trekking through some principal streets of Accra beginning from Kwame Nkrumah Circle and finally converging at the Abgogbloshie market.

FSG is an advocacy movement dedicated towards the promotion of people’s right to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable method.

Addressing the gathering at the Abgogbloshie market, Mr Duke Tagoe, Deputy Chairman of FSG said there has been no testing for the safety of GMOs in the human diet.

He said testing and observation of animals fed GMOs revealed serious health problems including “infertility, accelerated aging, deregulation of genes associated with cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, cell signalling, and protein formation, and changes in the liver, kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal system.

Mr Tagoe said GM food is killing the Ghanaian market with grave consequences for the sovereignty of the nation in terms of economic justice, safety and diversity of the food Ghanaians eat.

“We are at Abgogbloshie market... to educate market women not to go in for GM food and to also let them know the difference between the Ghanaian food and GM food.”

Mr Tagoe said FSG would draft a petition to government to make independent research into GM food.

Some of the market women interviewed by Ghana News Agency said they were not aware of GM food and urged government to take action against its importation.
