Man Raises Health Alarm Over Eggs Sold in Nylon Bags Amid Price Surge
A Nigerian man, Kelvin Onovo, shared his shock after spotting vendors cracking eggs and selling the contents in small nylon sachets known as akwa agbara agba. Each pack holds about five eggs and goes for ₦500 in local markets. Onovo warned that removing eggs from their shells exposes them to bacteria, since shells serve as a natural barrier against contamination. He noted the growing trend is driven by rising food costs and is worried about its safety. He asked fellow consumers: “Is this even healthy?” and invited opinions on what might drive this practice and its potential health risks.
