“NO BROMATE!”

Have you ever stopped to wonder why those words are boldly written on most bread nylons in Nigeria?

Today, let’s talk about it.

Potassium bromate (KBrO₃) was once a common ingredient in bread-making. Bakers used it because it helped dough rise faster, made bread softer, and gave loaves that attractive, fluffy look.

But there was a serious problem, a dangerous one.

When bread isn’t baked at the right temperature or for long enough, bromate may not fully break down. That means traces of it remain in the bread we eat.

Over time, it can accumulate in the body. Scientific studies revealed that bromate is carcinogenic, it can cause cancer and also damage the kidneys.

For years, Nigerians unknowingly consumed bread containing this harmful substance. It was widespread because it was cheap and effective.

Then, everything changed. A woman decided it was time to put a stop to it.

Her name was Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili, who served as Director-General of NAFDAC from 2001 to 2008.

When she assumed office, Nigeria’s food and drug system was in chaos — fake products, unsafe additives, and weak regulation dominated the market. But Dora Akunyili was not one to ignore such dangers.

She launched investigations, sending officials to bakeries across the country to secretly collect bread samples. The findings were alarming.

A large portion of bread in circulation contained unsafe levels of bromate. That was all she needed to act.

In 2002, under her leadership, NAFDAC officially banned the use of potassium bromate in bread production across Nigeria.

But she didn’t stop at policy. She took the fight to the public — speaking on air, addressing the press, and openly naming offenders. She warned Nigerians that the very bread many families relied on daily could be harming their health.

The resistance was fierce. Many bakers pushed back. But she stood her ground.

NAFDAC carried out raids, shut down non-compliant bakeries, and educated the public. Gradually, things began to change.

Bakers adopted safer alternatives like ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and the label “NO BROMATE” became a symbol of safety and accountability. Today, many people don’t realize the impact of that decision.

Dora Akunyili was more than a regulator, she was a defender of public health. Her courage and integrity forced an entire industry to choose human life over profit.

So, the next time you pick up a loaf of bread and see “NO BROMATE” on the nylon, take a moment to remember the woman behind it.

Her name is Dora Akunyili.

She didn’t just enforce a policy.

She saved a generation.

I was so BROKE, I borrowed N20k from EASYBUY in 2019 to buy Tecno Camon 12 partly on credit.

I paid N19k leaving a N6k balance.

Years now, I have tried several times to pay the balance, but the account provided is not working, and they failed to debit it directly from the bank details I provided.

I don't know if the company EasyBuy folded. If you work with EASYBUY kindly help me contact them, I want to repay the LOAN.

Here is why I brought up this.

I borrowed N20k from a gadgets LOAN App to buy a smartphone.

It's over 5 years now, yet, the repayment interest didn't jump to N10 million.

But OPAY loan APP justifies a boy who borrowed N4,700 back in 2022 would pay N1.6 million interest in 2026.

That's broad daylight robbery and institutional extortion. 😭😭💔💔🤷😡

SAY NO TO OPAY.

SAY no to unjust LOAN interest.

💔💔😭😭😡😡

Just pass this on. Don’t say anything.

They say a closed mouth is a closed destiny, so let me talk.

I’m speaking as someone living in Trans-Ekulu and as someone who moves around Enugu every day.

Dear Peter Mbah, I used to blame contractors, but the truth is clear now.
The road project that started in my area has been abandoned.
The one started in my village abandoned, almost roads started in Maryland, ologo abandoned.

Since you moved to APC, it feels like another person is running Enugu.
Apart from entertainment events, every other part of governance looks stagnant. It’s as if we don’t even have a governor again.

It pains me that I, Kelvin Onovo, am here typing this… practically begging for the completion of a road you flagged off on 18 March 2025.
I run my business here. I pay taxes. I drive through these roads daily.

Rain has stopped.
No excuse again.

Please fix our roads.
The excitement many of us had when you became governor has faded.
Enugu people deserve better.

@Iamjaneezy @BarronTNews_ How has the resources benefited you as a citizen? Besides, you left the core of discussion -which is the genocidal killings by Fulani terrorist - to painting imaginary pictures as to the US wanting to invade Nigeria because of its resources. We won't fall for your petty talk.

There is a man who needs our help.

He’s a farmer who got attacked by armed terrorist herdsmen that wanted to kill him and take over his farm. In self defence, he killed one of them.

He (not the terrorists) got arrested, jailed and has been sentenced to death by hanging in Nigeria.

His name is Sunday Jackson.
Please lend your voice. You may not have money or power or connection. But you have a voice.

Help #FreeSundayJackson
Let the world hear of this evil injustice.

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

The injustice done today to the dentistry students in university of Calabar can happen to any other students in the same university or elsewhere.

That a university loses accreditation is NOT the student’s problem. The VC of UniCAL is a callous cruel human being for telling over 300 dental students to withdraw and leave school.

This evil inhuman injustice must not stand.
Please kindly join me to speak up for these students.

If you know the university handle, tag them. If you know the education ministry handles, tag them. If you know the VC name, tag him. Pls tag everyone you can tag and help resist this oppressive madness.

No offense, but I feel some young women back then had a misguided idea of relationships. Even though they had male friends who cared about them and made them laugh, they didn’t consider those qualities for a relationship. Instead, they chose strangers who seemed exciting, only to later realize that friendship is the true foundation of a happy partnership.
