Pro Deo et Patria. Not here for applause though I may applaud.
RT not necessarily endorsement. Following you doesn't mean you have sense! Nobody's hype man!
While in Makkah, I fell ill.
I was given paracetamol, our regular Nigerian brand. Nothing changed. In fact, it felt as though my condition was getting worse. Thinking it might have been one particular manufacturer, I tried another Nigerian brand. The result was the same.
I am not someone who takes medications casually. I rarely use drugs except when genuinely necessary, so I know how my body usually responds to basic medications such as paracetamol.
As we approached the end of our pilgrimage, I still had my Farewell Tawāf to perform. Feeling weak and concerned, I requested our dear Shaykh, Mansur B. Kareem, to please get me a Saudi brand of paracetamol or anything similar. The very first dose brought a relief that was difficult to ignore. Within a short time, it felt as though the burden of the illness had been lifted from me.
The experience reminded me of an incident from last year. A pilgrim who travelled with us was detained for over an hour because he was carrying a Nigerian-made Vitamin C supplement. Saudi officials found it difficult to believe that the product was indeed Vitamin C. They conducted several tests before eventually releasing him. Throughout the process, he kept explaining that the product had been purchased from one of the largest and most reputable pharmacies in Nigeria.
I am not a scientist, pharmacist, or laboratory analyst. Therefore, I cannot make any definitive claims regarding the medicines involved. There may be explanations that experts can provide. However, as an ordinary citizen and consumer, these experiences raise questions that deserve serious attention.
Millions of Nigerians rely daily on medications purchased from local pharmacies. They trust that the medicines they buy contain what they claim, are stored properly, and will perform as expected when needed. That trust is too important to be taken for granted.
Beyond business and profit, healthcare is about human lives. Every tablet, capsule, syrup, or injection may represent someone's hope for recovery, relief, or survival. There is no profit greater than safeguarding the health and wellbeing of people.
I therefore appeal to @NafdacAgency and all stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry to intensify efforts toward quality control, routine inspections, anti-counterfeit measures, and public confidence building. Nigerians deserve medicines they can trust without fear or doubt.
May Allah protect us, grant healing to the sick, and bless all those who work sincerely to safeguard public health. Āmīn.
@AbdulganiyuH@DeeOneAyekooto The Joker is giving a free pass to 35 elected governors, most of whom are sitting on their hands, doing nothing and asking the Prez to replicate Lagos for them all. Apparently, it is not only PO that is speaking with the mad man at Upper Iweka...
@akerele_s@MBuhari believe this charlatan and bitter liar at your own risk. He has an axe to grind with the late Prez Buhari so slandering him is not off limits. Buba is vermin.
Some days ago, I opined here that Obi has been caged in the NDC. Many people came for me aggressively. Please answer, how many frontline Obidients who participated in the primaries won?
Zilch!
Owners of NDC have an agenda that is quite different from what OBI and his rude and politically ignorant group think.
Now, NDC is entering the fundraising phase of its agenda. Aisha Yesufu, unlike the power and influence she commanded in the LP, would have no role whatsoever to perform. Again, notice the body language of Kwankwaso now and compare it with Datti Ahmed then in the LP. Kwankwaso has refused to step away from his brand to embrace the "OK" brand as being superior to his brand.
Seriake Dickson holds all the aces, and he is not sharing power and control of the NDC apparatus with anyone. Least of all, Obi.
NDC is positioning itself for 2031 but using 2027 as a political springboard to grow the party to have a national spread.
Both Seriake and Kwankwaso know this, and they need the desperation and gullibility of Obi to water the ground.
A LEGEND!!!! OBAFEMI AWOLOWO said he wrote the book for all Nigerians but not the ones who up till now does the blame-worthy casualness, Loose and desultory thinking that don't do research and just believe the nonsense they are being fed! ..
“ You can easily tell who these people are when you look at it today “
The People’s republic has been written mainly for Nigerians. But I must warn that I have written only for those Nigerians who are prepared to learn, to study, to make painstaking research, to abjure prejudices, and to think
systematically and constructively.
Up till now, it is the habit with many of us to approach the titanic, intricate, and pressing problems of our country with blame-worthy casualness, insufficient study and research, loose and desultory thinking, supercilious complacency, deep-seated prejudices, and insensate partisanship.
@ZayyadInc@bellosaleh Mischievous politics. Instead of us tracing the roots of problems and tackling them, we use the symptoms to scapegoat for people we don't like. This is not to say that the named public officers are not culpable in varying degrees. We all know why they are mentioned. Mischief
There’s no Nigerian who will decide to go to the general hospital ran by their state government over the teaching hospitals ran by FG
The poorest Nigerians will toil to send their children to mission schools instead of state owned primary schools, they will however not have a problem sending them to FGCs
Nigerians don’t trust state governments
Former CIA Officer Philip Agee explains why the US🇺🇸 has been waging economic warfare on Cuba🇨🇺 for decades and trying to strangle & overthrow the socialist system:
‘They know that if the Cubans are successful of their example in being able to provide, as a poor country, the best medical care in the third world…it’s a very bad example for the United States.
There is a large mass of people in the US who can look to Cuba and say ‘wow if they can do it on a per capita income of $2K—2.5K, where ours is $22,500 a year, what’s wrong with our system? Maybe we ought to consider an alternative.’ That’s why Sandinista Nicaragua had to be destroyed, that’s why Grenada had to be destroyed.
Because any movement that comes to power with the idea of providing for all the people and escaping the control of the US and its economy, that is bad news for the United States and among the upper circles of power and influence.’

@egi_nupe@siroshiobriggs@nuclearpr_ FNL, I hope you know you would be more engaged reading old law reports backwards than trying to get sense into these characters sold on their charlatan of a maisaya.
