Verify before you trust.
We’re making it easier to know what’s real, authentic & trustworthy.
Building a future where verification is simple.

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

AfiCheck is officially live!!!

How do you actually know that product is real? The packaging looks right. The seal looks right. The price looks right. But counterfeiters have gotten good enough that "looks right" isn't proof anymore.

That's the problem AfiCheck solves. It's a Nigerian-built product authentication platform that lets you verify products in seconds, through WhatsApp or the web. No app needed — just scan or enter the AfiCheck code and get your result.

You don't just get a "genuine" or "not genuine" reply. Verification can show you the product name, brand, batch details, manufacturing and expiry information, and the status of the code. Depending on the result, a product may show as genuine, expired, recalled, previously verified elsewhere, or not found in the system.

Instead of looking at a product and hoping it's authentic, you can check the information behind it.

Verification only works once a product carries an AfiCheck code, so we're calling on manufacturers, brands, and product owners to be first. Register your products and batches, generate verification codes, and give customers a simple way to check what they bought.

Consumers can register today too, so you're ready the moment you see a code.

Buyers deserve proof, not hope. Genuine brands deserve a way to stand out from the fakes riding on their name.

AfiCheck. Building trust, one scan at a time.

@omoeko1800 This is the problem AfiCheck was built to solve

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

Your brand is your business. But what happens when someone else starts selling fake versions of your products under your name?

Many brands focus on marketing, increasing sales, and reaching new customers. But there is another important part of building a successful brand that deserves just as much attention: product protection.

Because building a trusted brand takes years. Losing that trust can happen much faster.

Here are some reasons why every brand needs to take product protection seriously.

1. Counterfeit products can destroy customer trust.

Imagine a customer buying what they believe is your product, only to discover that it is fake, ineffective, or even harmful.

They may not blame the counterfeiter. They may blame YOU.

Your brand name is on the packaging. Your reputation is at stake. And the customer may never buy from you again.

2. You can lose sales without even knowing it.

Every counterfeit product sold under your brand name is a potential lost sale.

Customers who unknowingly buy fake versions may believe they have already purchased your product, while your business loses revenue to people who have no right to sell under your name.

3. Counterfeiting puts your reputation at risk.

One bad experience can become a negative review, a social media post, or a warning shared among potential customers.

Even when your original product is excellent, counterfeit versions can create doubts about its quality and safety.

4. Your customers deserve to know what they are buying.

Especially in industries like skincare, food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals, product authenticity matters.

Customers should not have to guess whether the product they purchased is genuine.

They deserve a simple, reliable way to verify what they buy.

5. Protecting your products helps you protect your business.

Product protection is not just about stopping fake products. It is also about understanding how your products move through the market, identifying suspicious activity, and making better decisions using available data.

The earlier you take product protection seriously, the better prepared your brand can be.

So, where does AfiCheck come in?

At AfiCheck, we are building a simpler way for brands to protect their products and help consumers verify authenticity.

Here's how we help:

✅ Product authentication: Give customers a way to check whether a product is recognised as genuine.

✅ Traceability: Use product and batch identification to support better tracking and visibility.

✅ Scan insights: Access information about product scans and locations to help identify unusual activity.

✅ Manufacturer dashboard: Manage registered products and batches in one place.

✅ Easy access: Customers can verify products through WhatsApp or the web, without downloading another app.

Our goal is simple: make product verification easier for consumers and give brands better tools to build trust.

Imagine a market where customers can check before they trust, and brands have better visibility into how their products are being verified.

That is the future we want to help build.

We know product protection is not a problem any single platform can solve alone. It requires brands, consumers, distributors, and other stakeholders to play their part.

But every meaningful change starts with a step.

If you manufacture or distribute products, ask yourself: What am I doing to protect my brand from counterfeiting?

And if you are a consumer, ask yourself: How do I know the product I am buying is genuine?

AfiCheck is here to help make those questions easier to answer.

Nigeria’s counterfeit market is a multi-billion naira crime syndicate. If you are manufacturing food, drinks, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals, fakes aren’t just damaging your brand they are actively stealing up to 40% of your revenue right under your nose.

Think about the nightmare: You spend years perfecting a formula, securing NAFDAC approvals, designing packaging, and building customer trust. Then, a bad actor clones your bottle, fills it with cheap, toxic substitutes, and floods the market. When a customer gets hurt or disappointed, they don’t blame the counterfeiter they blame you. Your reputation tanks, and your sales plummet.
The old way of fighting this? Expensive lawsuits, hiring enforcement teams, or forcing customers to download bulky scratch-and-check apps they will delete in 5 seconds.
Nobody has time for that.

That is why we built AfiCheck. We locked counterfeiters out of the supply chain using a tool every single Nigerian already opens 50 times a day: WhatsApp.
By onboarding your brand with AfiCheck, you place a smart product code or QR code on your packaging. Consumers don't need to download a new app. They simply scan or text the code on WhatsApp to get instant, color-coded peace of mind:

🟢 Authentic – Protects your revenue and builds instant trust.
🟠 Recalled – Manages quality control flawlessly.
🔴 Potentially Fake – Flags illicit goods before they are consumed.
But for brand owners, the real power lies in the manufacturer portal. You get real-time supply chain visibility to see exactly where your products are being scanned across the country. If a bad batch ever goes out, you can issue a nationwide recall with a single click and directly message the exact consumers who scanned that specific batch.
The future of retail belongs to brands that protect their customers. Don't wait until a counterfeit scandal forces your hand. We are currently onboarding forward-thinking FMCG and pharma brands onto our platform.

Nigeria’s manufacturing sector is bleeding billions of Naira.
Not because people aren't buying, but because someone else is duplicating your hard work, slapping your label on it, and destroying the brand reputation you spent decades building.
If you are a manufacturer, factory owner, or brand founder in Nigeria, please read this closely.
You know the drill all too well. You spent years perfecting your formula, chasing NAFDAC approvals, navigating logistics, and pouring your life savings into building customer trust. Then, a counterfeiter in a hidden warehouse clones your packaging, fills it with cheap, substandard materials, and floods markets from Aba to Alaba or Balogun.
They sell it at half your price. They steal your market share. And when that fake product fails, causes an allergic reaction, or breaks down, who does the furious customer blame? They blame YOU.
Fake products don’t just steal your revenue; they kill your customer retention and expose your business to massive legal liabilities. Until now, fighting fakes meant paying for expensive anti-counterfeiting raids or buying generic holographic stickers that counterfeiters learned to copy within weeks.
The traditional system is completely broken. But you cannot afford to leave your hard-earned margins unprotected.
This is exactly why we built AfiCheck.
We are giving Nigerian manufacturers a digital shield. We’ve built a secure verification infrastructure that connects your factory floor directly to the shopper’s smartphone at the point of sale.
Here is how simple it is to protect your brand:
1️⃣ Onboard Your Company: Submit your regulatory credentials securely on our dedicated portal.
2️⃣ Generate Unique IDs: Create un-clonable tracking codes tied directly to your production batches.
3️⃣ Instant Consumer Verification: Everyday shoppers simply scan the code via our portal before cash changes hands.
If it didn't come from your factory, the customer knows instantly. You empower your consumers to defend your brand for you.
The companies that will survive and dominate the next decade in Nigeria are the ones that secure their supply chains and actively protect their buyers. Stop letting counterfeiters eat your profits and ruin your name.
Secure your revenue and gain absolute visibility over your market distribution today.
Onboard your brand or join our exclusive manufacturer waitlist right now:

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

Would you know if the product you're buying is genuine?
Sometimes, fake products look so much like the real ones that you simply can't tell by looking.
That's why we built AfiCheck.
AfiCheck is designed to help consumers verify products before making a purchase giving you more confidence in what you buy.
Because you shouldn't have to guess.
Why guess when you can check?
Scan. Verify. Buy with Confidence.

No wonder the boil on our armpit after use dey hard like stone .
Fake roll on’s

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

Unverified lists thrive when citizens have no instant way to verify what's in their hands.

We built AfiCheck to turn public vigilance into verifiable evidence:

1️⃣ Scan via WhatsApp: Instant genuine confirmation

2️⃣ Lock code after purchase: Prevents package cloning

3️⃣ Immediate alert on duplicates & expired batches

Public safety needs tamper-evident tech. We’d welcome the chance to demo this for @NafdacAgency's surveillance & traceability teams.

NAFDAC Uncovers Counterfeit Alcohol Operation at Lagos International Trade Fair Complex

Today, operatives from NAFDAC's Investigation & Enforcement (I&E) Directorate raided the International Trade Fair Complex in Lagos, uncovering a large-scale counterfeit alcoholic beverage operation concealed within makeshift parking stores on the premises.

The enforcement action was executed on the basis of credible intelligence and resulted in the discovery of more than 20 illegal stores engaged in criminal operations within the complex. Officers found suspects in the process of blending and counterfeiting popular alcoholic beverage brands, revalidating expired and unsafe beverages for resale, and stockpiling banned imported products.

Two suspects were apprehended, and products seized and evacuated are valued at over ₦2 billion.

The Agency urges members of the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious manufacturing, revalidation, or sales activity through NAFDAC's official complaints line: 0800-1-NAFDAC (0800-1-623322).

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

The scale of fake consumables entering our markets daily is alarming. Relying on visual inspection alone no longer works.

AfiCheck puts instant verification in every Nigerian's pocket. One scan on WhatsApp tells you if a product is genuine before you pay.

If you are a manufacturer looking to secure your supply chain and protect your consumers, let’s talk: https://t.co/P5a6tIoflW

[Dr Dípò Awójídé @OgbeniDipo]

Few months ago, in April 2026, NAFDAC raided this same Zamfara Plaza, Trade Fair Complex, Lagos and seized FAKE ALCOHOL PRODUCTS worth around ₦350M. During that raid, they recovered over 1,800 cartons of fake alcoholic products. These sons of Satan should not be walking free!

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

@yabaleftonline This is exactly why we built AfiCheck a way to verify if a product is genuine before you buy it, straight from WhatsApp, no app needed. Fake spices, drinks, cosmetics... it's everywhere right now, and most of us only find out after it's too late. https://t.co/6neCpNru2U

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

That's not a poker hand. That's tomorrow's plan. 🟢

Ngl, we've been staring at these for the last hour like proud parents 😅 Every single one of these flyers is headed out with us tomorrow to the World's Largest Movie screening at Tafawa Balewa Square, September 26th. It's been a lot of work to get here, and we're genuinely excited to finally put these in people's hands.

So if you're around and someone walks up to you with one of these, that's us! Don't just fold it into your pocket and forget about it, give it a scan. Send a code, chat with us on WhatsApp, and see for yourself in seconds whether a product is real. No app needed, no stress, just an honest answer.

And if you're a manufacturer who's tired of counterfeiters riding your brand's name, we'd genuinely love to talk to you. We're onboarding now, and this might just be your sign.

Come say hi tomorrow. We'd love to meet you. 🟢

We can spot a fake accent from 1km away. A fake alert, a fake profile, a fake "I'm on my way" Nigerians never miss.

But a fake product? That one dey harder to catch. The seal is perfect. The packaging is perfect. Even the barcode scans.

That's exactly why we built AfiCheck. Send a code on WhatsApp or web, get an honest answer in seconds. No app needed.

@Onomz_D1 This is why brands should step up and register their products on aficheck to avoid counterfeits duplicating their products

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

@imran_services companies should register under aficheck to get their products protected from counterfeits.

Do you actually know if what you bought is real? Most of us just trust the packaging and hope for the best.

Someone is already using your product name on a fake.

You just don't know it yet because right now, there's no way for your customers to tell your product from a copy until something goes wrong.

We're starting with 10 manufacturers. Get it right with those 10, then scale to many. That's the plan not 1,000 at once, and not a rushed rollout that breaks on day one.

What changes for you: → Every product gets a code your customers can verify in seconds → You see exactly how your products move through the market → One click pulls a bad batch before it spreads → Your name stops being something counterfeiters can borrow for free

Want to be one of the first 10? DM us. A real person replies.

[iwalewa oyindamola @Iam_Adorable14]

Something has been bothering me about the way we talk about fake products in Nigeria.

We see another fake drug seizure.

Another counterfeit skincare product.

Another person discovering that what they bought wasn't genuine.

And then we tell people:

“Be careful.”
But… how ?

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

https://t.co/6neCpNru2U

[AfiCheck @AfiCheck]

Real talk: right now, AfiCheck can't verify a single product yet.

Not because the platform isn't ready — it is. Send a code either on whatsapp or the web and get an instant answer, no app needed. But verification only works once a product actually carries an AfiCheck code. And that means manufacturers have to be first.

So this post isn't really for consumers yet. It's for the brand owner who's tired of counterfeiters riding their name. The manufacturer who's watched a fake version of their product go viral for the wrong reasons. The team that wants customers to stop hoping and start knowing.

Register your products. Generate your codes. Be the brand your customers can actually verify not just trust and hope.

Consumers, register now too. The moment a brand you buy from onboards, you'll already be ready.
