The leather industry is suffering from the consumption of ponmo by Nigerians. Instead of these hides being used to make shoes, bags and wallets, we prefer to eat them. Consequently, Nigeria is losing out of the 75 billion dollars global leather industry according to Mr. Olufemi Aluko of the Faculty of Clinical Sciences, Obafemi Awolowo University. Perhaps, this why Nigeria imports all her leathers.

Its nutritional benefits is in doubt

There has been a lot of back and forth about the nutritional benefits of eating ponmo. Health experts have said that it is harmful and unhealthy but Nigerians disagree. So, the essence of eating ponmo is defeated if it is confirmed that it has no health benefits.

It is unhygienic

Mind you, we are not trying to demonise ponmo. But the truth is ponmo is unhygienic because of the unclean environment the cow hides are extracted and prepared. Hence, before you consume ponmo, you have to boil it for hours. In some cases, boiling may not kill the bacteria.

It is cheap

It is very cheap and this is a reason why ponmo is very prevalent. Of course, the sizes that it is cut is much bigger than meat and beef.

It is a source of livelihood

For some Nigerians, ponmo has become a source of livelihood. They have taken the advantage of the ponmo craving among  Nigerians to survive. You can’t blame them!

It will be difficult to ban ponmo

When the Nigerian government announced that it was going to ban ponmo, the outcry among Nigerians was deafening. The #BringBackOurPonmo began trending. Rather than banning it, more cow hides should be allocated to the leather industry.
