SAVING LIVES
famous POISON that silently makes Africans widows or
widowers is the MAGGI CUBE.
Yes Maggi in your everyday Soup and foods is a killer worst
than HIV/AIDS, Ebola, covid-19 all joined together.
Are you shocked? Then read on..
Firstly it was created in 1886 by a Swiss named Julius Maggi
for LOW INCOME workers and the POOR, who could not afford
to balance their diet with meat and fish because they were
very expensive to them.
In order to provide a TASTE of meat and fish to the poor,
JULIUS MAGGI introduced the Maggi cube with its famous red
and yellow label on the packaging.
In 1886, after the Berlin conference, colonial masters were free
to export whatever they produced to their colonies mostly in
Africa.This was how Julius Maggi thought that there would be
lucrative market in Africa for his product.
So he exported and ingeniously launched his advertising there.
It began to gain recognition and patronage in 1910.
Prior to the introduction of Maggi to Nigerians, the local locust
bean called IRU in Yoruba, DADDAWA in Hausa and OGIRI
okpe in igbo mixed with cray fish or dried fish was the
traditional means of adding FLAVOUR and DELICACY to the
soup.
All these mixtures have much medicinal benefits and may
have contributed to the long life span and physical fitness
enjoyed by our forefathers.
Maggi was not popular in Nigeria until in the early 1970s when
it started spreading very fast in the market as neighbours and
communities introduced it to one another.
The product succeeded because maggi cube could be kept
longer at higher temperatures and with the possibility of giving
a better taste to the cooking whenever used.
The Knorr, Royco, Dangote cubes..etc are different brands
competing with Maggi even though people generally regard all
of them as Maggi.
Africans began and continue to put it in every dish despite the
danger inherent in it.
DID YOU KNOW that Maggi contains a high level of MSG
(MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE)? extremely high level of lead
nearly seven times above human body needs, transfats LDL,
sodium all of which damage s the Brain cells and increases
chances of stroke..etc.
Nigeria has continued to witness several brands of the product
including the white Ajinomoto in the 1980s to 90s which
medical experts condemned as capable of affecting the human
liver.
Millions of Maggi cubes are sold and consumed every day in
Africa so the company had to expand by creating eleven
factories in the region despite warnings of public health risk
associated with the products.
Women, mostly ladies add as many cubes to their cookings to
the extent of the level of sweetness they want the soup to
produce. In many homes, the preparing of "moi moi" (steamed
bean paste) akara (fried bean paste), beans, boiling fish etc
cannot go without Maggi nowadays. African foods have the
highest test in the world.
However, lots of people based on medical advice have wisely
abandoned Maggi and have been using the traditional "iru" or
crayfish as alternatives.
"Consuming the Maggi cube in every cooking is akin to
increasing cardiovascular risks including hypertension
,diabetes and stroke (cerebrovascular). The risk is higher
particularly when one advances in age as it weakens the heart
functions" -Dr Olúṣọlá Ajólore. 09-12-2020.
With high rate of Maggi consumption could develop erectile
disfunction, persistent waist pain and rheumatism.(i.e.
Dissolve six cubes in a 750ml of water, give a he-goat to drink
and it can't mate for at least six months.)
Maggi has been identified as having greater negative
consequences on human health than sugar. Unknown to many
the product is primarily the contributing factor in many cases
of strokes in Africa because of its continuous mass
consumption during the active ages.

hazards of Maggi seasoning cube for yourself and spread the
message to SAVE AFRICANS.
