Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are causing serious buzz across Nigerian social media, sparking debates filled with hot takes, clapbacks, and confusion. At the centre of the storm, popular health influencer Aproko Doctor has publicly endorsed GMO farming, highlighting its potential benefits. On the other side, journalist David Hundeyin and other critics are raising alarm bells about its risks.

Critics, however, warn of potential long-term health effects, dependency on foreign seed companies, and loss of control over our food systems.
