@mr_foodie_boss @TheToff_ It is learned, because the "anomaly" wasn't corrected by men, (or women alike) it becomes passed down from generation to generation. Men enabled it, (with statements like "sheybi na woman" na so dem be) by not correcting them when it happens

@BernieWanzie Yo I cannot compare whites and black. They have invented most of the things we used. Us we are not inventors we are consumers. And also our IQ is generally low and we don’t have innovation strategies in technology.

When you become poor, you don't have to tell people; there will be signs

1. The quality of buildings and furnishings is very poor. Lots of unpainted buildings

2. I have not seen a new car apart from government cars

3. Public transportation is small minibuses or keke, all old, none with AC

4. Zero landscaping, wild grass everywhere

5. Police asking for gifts

6. Zero zoning of public spaces

7. No public Parks, libraries or pools

8. Fall in cars on the road, no one can afford gas

Everything looks like it stopped in 1980

The growing circulation of counterfeit products in Nigeria, including toothpaste, medicines and beverages, has raised concerns over public health and safety, as consumers face increasing risks from potentially harmful goods.

While the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) continues to regulate products, public vigilance remains crucial in identifying fake goods and exposing illegal manufacturing activities.

Nigerians are urged to report suspicious products and production sites to the relevant authorities, as timely action and community awareness can help curb the spread of counterfeit goods and protect lives.

@bafem_ Hear hear. Sadly though, due to the low disposable income situation we find ourselves, this will continue to happen. People will continue to go for the "cheaper" option. Though in the long run, might be more expensive. But we hardly think of the long term.

[Femi Babafemi @bafem_]

I totally agree. Permit me to add the other side to this.

I'm an artisan. I design and install solar and storage for homes and businesses. The work requires real electrical and electronics engineering knowledge, and I was in the Uni when I did a two-year apprenticeship before I ever touched a client's roof.
The trained ones exist. The problem is that the average Nigerian customer doesn't see the process, so they don't want to pay for it. I've had someone ask me, "You want to collect this amount just to install solar?" There's no "just" about it. Load analysis, system sizing, protection design, safe wiring. Skip any of that and the system fails.
So the customer goes for the cheaper hands, and the cheaper hands guess. Two drums of paint. A wasted 15 litres, just imagine.

Mediocrity, every time.
Precision costs money. Until we're willing to pay for it, guesswork will keep winning.

@fimiletoks Thank you! The number of times I've had to hold my head in despair after seeing what our mechanics do!!!

[Dr. Calafiori 🦇 @fimiletoks]

We can all now see from the luxury home review the stark lack of technical quality and formal training among our local artisans and craftsmen in Nigeria. A few days ago, I asked a painter how many liters of paint I'd need for my living room and a few other parts of the house. His immediate response was simply, "Just buy two drums."

Knowing there must be a scientific way to calculate this, I consulted Gemini AI, which estimated a coverage of 10 sqm per liter per coat. However, to accommodate the artisan, I obliged and bought two 20-liter buckets. As I write this, I am sitting with roughly 15 liters of expensive, wasted excess paint in the second bucket.

This is why we need to move away from guesswork and embrace technical precision in our local trades. From mechanics to farmers to carpenters, there is a visible lack of formal technical training.

It's 2026, Nigerians are still struggling with basic amenities, and you want the rest of the world to take you seriously. 🤡

NAFDAC Seizes Counterfeit Alcoholic Beverage Packaging Materials Worth Over ₦200 Million in Aba

Today, NAFDAC, acting on credible intelligence, raided five shops at Old Court Road Market, Aba, Abia State, suspected of producing and supplying counterfeit packaging materials for popular alcoholic beverages and other products.

The operation uncovered counterfeit labels, corks, packs and outer packaging materials bearing the names of several brands, including Jameson, Glenfiddich, Four Cousins, Lord’s Dry Gin, Imperial Blue, Goya Oil, Chelsea, Squadron and Seaman’s Aromatic Schnapps. The packaging materials seized were estimated to be worth over ₦200 million.

During the operation, NAFDAC’s Investigation & Enforcement operatives encountered threats and resistance from traders, making the evacuation of the seized materials challenging. The owners of the five shops were absent, and the premises were placed on hold to prevent interference with the items remaining inside.

NAFDAC issued an invitation to the Market Union Chairman, who pledged to ensure the security of the sealed premises and assist the Agency in identifying and presenting the shop owners.

@Bond_not_james @Remostikal Someone is making money, and doesn't want to stop, that's the "Nigerian" factor, if we look deeply into it. You'll be surprised. Me I'm tired sha, honestly. This "jagajaga" way of doing things

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like." The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors, and the holy man looked in.

In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished.

They were holding spoons with very long handles strapped to their arms, and each managed to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handles were longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, "You have seen Hell".

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew, which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here they were well-nourished and plump, laughing and talking.

The holy man said, "I don't understand." "It is simple," said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.
