Often.
Nollywood films show people acquiring money through rituals.
And society aptly refers to it as "blood money".
So many people in real life belong to this club.
But are yet to collect their membership certificate.
Or how else would you describe someone who ripens fruits with Carbide?
You see.
In the natural way.
Most fruits produce a gaseous compound called ethylene that starts the ripening process.
But then those people who are yet to collect their membership certificates use Carbide.
Calcium carbide.
Produces acetylene, which is an analogue of ethylene.
And this also ripens fruits.
But
Carbide is often contaiminated with Arsenic and phosphorus which are toxic.
And how would you know a fruit is artificially ripened?
The colour looks great but taste is poor.
If not washed you could see powdery substances on it.
The fruit rots quite fast.
And if after taking fruits.
You soon experience.
Vomit.
Frequent stooling.
Weakness.
Difficult in swallowing.
Intense thirst.
Headache.
Dizziness.
You just may need a medical evaluation.
And for the fruit seller
Congratulations....
