Dear @officialABAT,
I have served at NAFDAC for nearly a decade and dedicated years of my career to the fight against counterfeit and substandard medicines and unsafe food products.
My work in this area earned me the NAFDAC Director-General’s Merit Award in recognition of my contribution to the fight against fake food and drugs.
Mr. President, I am not asking for a favour. I am offering competence, experience and a proven commitment to the national interest.
Make me the Director-General of NAFDAC, give me the mandate and the institutional backing, and I will take the fight against counterfeit medicines and unsafe foods to an entirely different level.
Within the first six months, I will target a minimum 60% reduction in the circulation of counterfeit and substandard medicines and unsafe regulated products, with the ultimate objective of driving the menace to the barest minimum within one year.
Nigeria does not lack capable professionals. Sometimes, what is needed is simply the courage to put the right person in the right place.
Give me the mandate. Give me the tools. I will deliver.
Nigeria deserves a stronger, more effective war against fake drugs and unsafe foods.

All of a sudden, everyone is now discussing the 1000 goal landmark
All of a sudden, people are now hoping that Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, etc reach 1000 career goals
The 1000 goals is now the new GOLD in football
I thought goals are not important and they don't matter in the game
Cristiano Ronaldo really bastardized this game for us
Funny indeed, CR7 hasn't even reach the 1000 goal landmark yet but everyone is eyeing the record
CR7 spoilt us
Cristiano Ronaldo is truly the PRIZE
She’s their boss at work. Men understand simple authority structures.
The problem is when she starts demanding this of men she is romantically involved with or men not under her payroll.
“Pete Edochie is my senior by age, if he enter this place now i will go down to greet him, but i senior him in this work, we’ve been acting in Yorubaland before Nollywood, his people are always trying to undermine my tribe and saying they started Nollywood.
we’ve been acting before Nollywood started, even the Nollywood, we started it. i cannot watch and let anyone undermine my tribe, because others didn’t talk doesn’t mean i should not talk, i want to grow old like him but i started acting before him, same way some people started before me.
Jide Kosoko cannot start talking now and i will be talking back at him when it comes to industry. the press, media and newspaper caused this, they only go to english movie makers to ask questions, my people don’t really care about these things but we need to set the record straight.
i started before him, Yoruba people started making movies before any tribe in Nigeria. it’s fact, fact don’t care about emotions, people like Muka Ray, Peju Ogunmola and co were born into this and acted since they were small, they started before me too…” - Legendary actor, Yemi Solade says again
Mbappé dropped 58 goals in 61 matches, won the Golden Boot in La Liga, in the Champions League, AND at the World Cup, but suddenly goals don't matter anymore because he wears a Real Madrid shirt?
Give him the Ballon D’or 😂
🚨🏆 Kylian Mbappé on Ballon d’Or: “Being the top scorer of ALL biggest competitions, where the best players play… the UCL, the World Cup… I don't know if ANYONE did it before”.
“I believe that making history should always be rewarded”, told L’Équipe.
🚨🔥 José Mourinho: LWe lost to Betis because we didn't convert our attacking opportunities into goals. Period. But the penalty... Why wasn't it retaken?”.
“Well, because VAR doesn't know the rules... or because they didn't WANT to”.
“This is a question I'd like the people in charge to answer. Why?
If VAR didn't order it retaken because they didn't know the rules, they should just go home and leave it at that. If they didn't order it retaken because they didn't want to, that's even worse.
And then there's another, even worse question: if they didn't know the rules, why didn't they call the referee over to review it on the monitor? A bit strange.
I want to assume honesty and think that he didn't know he was in the penalty area. I prefer to go down that road. But if that's the case, the referee can't do it, VAR has to.
Because in a few weeks or months, if something similar happens, it will be retaken.
And I want to make it clear that we didn't lose because of this, because we could have even missed the retake.
But as the Real Madrid coach and as a player, I'd like to know why the message wasn't repeated. I'd like people to answer me responsibly.
The other thing about this match, which is unrelated, is why the Real Madrid captain received a yellow card.
When Vinicius approached the referee and saw the card before he even reached him, I'd like to know why. Why are we always told that the captain has the right to politely approach the referee to ask for an explanation?”.
Nigeria is dangerously not inclusive.
I know this doctor that stammers. When he goes for interview, he sees his colleague spend up to 30 mins, but his interviews doesn't go past 5 mins. He could tell they just want to dismiss him and move to the next person.
The doctor went for his PLAB exam in England. A day was set aside for doctors with speech difficulty. They were given extra time and asked if the time would be enough for them. He passed the PLAB. In Nigeria, when he takes exam, he has to finish within the alloted time given to people without difficulty.
How do we expect perfection from people who are already with personal difficulties? We need to imbibe grace as a people.
Did you know that before VDM started this case with that Dr. Ifeanyi Onukwubiri popularly known as TMT that scam people through his travel agency, one of his Victims had already sued him but they couldn’t do anything to him, because the TMT guy frustrated the victim and his lawyer who goes by the name Cynthia Okosa.
So this TMT guy and his own team of lawyers of the “noble profession” frustrated the Cynthia Okosa (lawyer) and her client (victim).
He refused to refund the guy his money and even seized his passport to the extent that the guy and his lawyer was now begging him to give him his passport so that he can go back to Dubai where he is based but he refused.
The victim couldn’t travel back to Dubai at the time he was supposed to go back. The TMT guy later released his passport to him but it was already too late.
At this point him as his lawyer was no longer bothered about the refund, he only just wanted his passport back, but him and his lawyer couldn’t do shit to this TMT guy because he is rich and have connections.
Then Finally VDM stepped in because a lot of victims has now ran to VDM to rescue from this criminal TMT. At first TMT was bragging that even VDM can’t do shit to him.
Now VDM and his own team of lawyers has now brought TMT to his kneels, he is now begging for settlement promised now to refund everyone their money.
This guy has defrauded people of over N300m but the lawyers of the noble profession couldn’t even fight a criminal both in and outside court.
Now Cynthia Okosa is very happy when she saw the new that VDM has gotten TMT.😄😄
In her own words she said; “Finally, hand don touch this man.
TMT was almost untouchable. Him and his team frustrated my client so much that we had to involve different people and even different police officers before we could eventually get the young man's passport back.
My client was asked to return from Dubai for a visa interview. He came back to Nigeria and submitted his passport, only for getting the passport back to become a serious problem. Kudos VDM👏”
Now you can see that you are a fool to fight VDM as a lawyer in this country instead of working with him, with his massive platform he can make your case easier if you’re practicing.
You need VDM in our current justice system so stop being a fool and get in line.
Nobody has a problem with Jay Jay Okocha saying Messi is better than Ronaldo, that’s his opinion
But coming out to say Ronaldo is “just a goalscorer” is pure disrespect. You guys never want to give Ronaldo his flowers and I hate it

🚨⚫️🔵 Djed Spence to Inter, here we go! Verbal agreement in place now with Tottenham for England RWB.

Full agreement also with Spence who wanted the move as revealed over recent days. Deal in place.
Ronaldo has least had 10 dribbles just in this clip. He was a madman at Juventus. He was literally having fun, he was everywhere on the field too. Look at that pass to Higuin. Name one player who can do this at 34😂
I’ll use this to explain something..
So this is the average 9ja home growing up…
Boys and girls having to grow up not hugging their parents/siblings.. We just didn’t get to visibly see showing of love/compassion at home even though we could k!ll for our brothers and sisters.. But to verbally say “I love you” to them and in some cases HUG THEM genuinely na problem.
I’ll cite example from a Yoruba Boy angle…
The typical Yoruba home.. You prostrate for your parents.. And you’re mandated to call your older ones ‘Boda/Aunty’.. And of course, your younger ones get to call you that too.
So that line for hugging don first blur by virtue of what we uphold.
I’m driving somewhere.. stay with me.
Now imagine both genders growing from that in the average Nigerian home.. Then later in life, one gender is just magically expected to be ‘romantic’ in a western way
Like yo! The average omo boy literally LEARNT how to give warm hugs and enjoy it as adults bro!!!
How do we magically go from that to designing the room with rose petals and buying flowers/scented candles and all ?
Where on earth in our reality did that depict love growing up ?
The trait/gesture is COMPLETELY alien to us
You don’t get it… I’ve never touched a ‘rose petal’ in my entire life bruh.. Where I wan see am ?
Scented flower ?… Ki lo’n je be ???
We’d be trying to learn these things as adults then they’ll still go ahead and call it “bare minimum” just coz they see it online from people creating content every other time and they read it on wattpad
You see how the average 9ja Man would rather take you to go and eat and/or send you money than design one nonsense room with petals ?
It’s a matter of familiar and unfamiliar gestures.
That whole thing feels like bullsh!t to him… And we lowkey know it doesn’t mean much to you Ladies too.. But westernization + seeking validation + social media pepper-them ti fe ba aye yin je.
Let me extend it a little..
You think the average bobo is freaked about planning proposals, bridal shower, white wedding, gender reveal and all those foreign dubs ?
lol mchew!!
I’ll end on this note..
Ask yourself how EVERYTHING our fathers wanted and expected from our mothers as wives are still the same thing modern Men want from their Women(wives).
But the things our mothers wanted from our Fathers, modern Women are expecting x100 from modern Men.
One-sided modernization isonu.
