I used a Sensodyne (toothpaste) yesterday and could tell immediately that it was fake. Ordered another pack from a different store. Side by side, the packaging is near identical. The only way to know is to use the fake one and find out.
It could have been drugs.
Nigeria’s regulators need to do far more about counterfeit medicines and consumer products. This is not about money lost. Lives are at stake.

Dear @officialEFCC, good morning!
Today is another day to remind you that the bald eagle shouldn't be found in your logo. An organization's logo should reflect their strength and objectives.
The bald eagle that's currently featured on your logo is not an African bird. It is not found in Nigeria. It is also an opportunistic scavenger and fish eater. Meanwhile, the martial eagle we have in Nigeria is a ferocious hunter that actively hunts aggressive and heavy prey including hyraxes, small jackals, monitor lizards, domestic livestock, and young antelopes weighing considerably more than itself.
The bald eagle doesn't have much going for it beyond American PR. It is comparatively weak and sounds like a weak chicken.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.

One night, the beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) went to visit his daughter Fatima but found that Ali was not there. When he asked about him, she told him they had a disagreement and Ali had left. Concerned, the Prophet went to the masjid and found Ali lying on the ground, asleep.
Language isn't just a transactional tool for official memos or job applications—it is logic, philosophy, character, and worldview.
Being fluent in French and English gives a child access to the room, but having a grounded cultural identity gives them something authentic to say once they get there. The globalized world respects individuals who bring a distinct identity to the table, not those who merely assimilate.
We don't need to choose between survival abroad and heritage at home. We can give them both.
When we teach our children indigenous languages alongside English, we aren't limiting their future—we are giving them a distinct identity and a cognitive edge that the rest of the world respects.
My bro apart from me speaking Igbo and you understand me, there really isn't any big deal about the language thing.
Language does not form your identity. There are Igbos who have lived in the west long enough to speak and understand Yoruba, does that make them Yoruba as well?. We all speak English, does that make us English?.
Mind you, I have talked about giving my kids strictly Igbo names and no English name. A person's name to me is a major part of what forms their identity. When people see a Nwankwo, they automatically know this person is Igbo same way an Oluwatobi is Yoruba and Kovacic is Croatian.
For tradition, I still insist that some of our traditions are very stupid and should be abolished. There is no reason why we should be making the bereaved waste money on a burial. There is no reason why mbaise people should be making men waste so much money to marry their daughters, majority of whom are not even virgins.
Most of these so called traditions were made by men who did not know better. Why should we hold onto them so much and even make it a huge part of our identity just to preserve "culture and tradition"?.
The discussion was about how speaking Igbo will benefit our kids on the global stage, and sentiments aside, it will not. It is useless in the grand scheme of things.
I was also coming from the angle that we have let the white man strip us of every form of identity we have, why then is the language thing such a huge priority?. I won't take any Igbo person who is worshipping the white man's God, using their inventions and curriculum, dressing their way but holding onto their language seriously.
You can't be going to church 3 times a week, wear suit to work, have Nathan or Emmanuel as your first or middle name, tweet in English and then want to tell me anything about identity just because you speak Igbo. That is the actual identity crisis.
Bro,
You will never amount to anything politically in Yorubaland, even if you create your own political party, you will be schemed out.
This is what you get for talking down on the Yorùbá people and Wọlé Soyinka.
It really irks me hearing Nigerians refer to 20 year olds as children.
No, 20 year olds are adult men and women.
You can enlist in U.S. military at 18, get trained and shipped off to fight wars.
How much older were Nigerias post independence military leaders?
How much older were the great American industry leaders of the 80’s that created Microsoft, Google, Amazon, the internet, etc
As a 20 year old in Nigeria, don’t lull yourself into a sleepless slumber, you’re an adult Oga.
Wake up.
The silence of many Yorubas, in the face of harassments like this, has created an incentive bullying targeted mostly at Yoruba personalities.
People of other ethnicities are not subjected to these warped standards over their political views.
That is why we must not be silent in the face of these targeted attacks on our ethnic identity by those hiding behind activism or politics.
Nigeria's First Republic ended in 1966.
13 individuals have ruled Nigeria between 1966 and 2026 - a 60 year period. Military and civilian.
10 of those 13 individuals were already actors (or have family active) in national events as at 1966.
Exceptions: Shonekan, GEJ and BAT.
Ironsi, Gowon, Murtala, Obasanjo x2, Shagari, Buhari x2, Babangida, Abacha, and Abdulsalam were actors in Nigeria's events far back 1966 and took turn to rule Nigeria for a cumulative period of 45+ years.
Then Shagari himself was a minister in the First Republic.
Yar'adua not directly an actor as at 1966, but his father and brother were. Father was a minister in the First Republic and brother part of the 1966 coup.
In fact, if we stretch it further, only Shonekan and GEJ can be said to be total outsiders as at 1966. BAT's mum was a political figure at regional level (grassroots mobilizer for Western Region's Action Group) in the First Republic.
Now, if you want to stretch almost overboard, only GEJ will be left as complete outsider as at 1966. Shonekan was an important employee of UAC as at 1966. UAC was the most powerful company in Nigeria as of 1966. Although he became the CEO of UAC much later, the CEO of UAC was arguably the most powerful civilian in Nigeria from the 1930s through the 1970s. Before independence, UAC (which started as Royal Niger Company) was like the economic arm of British government in Nigeria. After independence, they were still the largest private employer in Nigeria and military governments liked to source technocrats from there.
I thought a lot of mutuals that liked had blocked me, not knowing I’m not seeing their posts simply because of Twitter algorithm.
It’s nice knowing that my karata no too bad laidat 😁
Welcome good people 👍🏽
In the next 1000 years, your ethnic group might not produce a senate president in Nigeria talkless of a president.
Instead of you to align with the Yorubas in order not to go extinct, you are looking for how Yoruba subgroups will be unfortunate like you???
The term minority is for losers.
So you want Ikale or Okun to identify as a separate ethnicity in Nigeria so that they can be unfortunate like you????
Which political power will their minority status give them? You think you are intelligent or mischievous?
Those who gave you this task have wasted money.
Every Yoruboid group will be united.
Go and read about Otto von bismarck and the unification of the Germanic tribes.
This is crazy.
