Some of you may know about this but I never knew a World day celebration like this existed...so I felt I should play my part and create the awareness.


World Egg Day is a unique opportunity to help raise awareness of the benefits of eggs and is celebrated in countries all around the world.World Egg Day was established at the IEC Vienna 1996 conference when it was decided to celebrate World Egg Day on the second Friday in October each year.

For centuries, eggs have played a major role in feeding families around the globe. They are an unbeatable package when it comes to versatility and top-quality protein at a very affordable price. And they are also an excellent source of choline, essential in memory and brain development. When you factor in convenience and terrific taste, there is just no competition.

In Ghana, the Ghana National Association of Poultry Farmers has outlined a three day event running from 11th to 13th October. A float parade will be held within the city of Takoradi with members wearing special World Egg Day T-shirts for the occasion. Eggs will be distributed to the public during the parade and other egg donations to schools and hospitals, with media coverage of the events to amplify awareness for egg consumption.

Well, I can't wait for Nigeria to join the celebration of a beautiful day like this.

Stay healthy, Eat right!
