Expired Guinness drink

Nigeria really needs God's intervention

Its really serious

One must be careful with what is being consumed.

Anambra? Make I Google what part of the country Anambra is and quickly report to NCAN headquarters

Lala likes Guinness and fried snake meat

I won't be tempted to be a member of NCAN, even if form is free

Alcohol=poison(obviously) but consuming expired poison?

Hmmm. Humans and Greed na 5&6

Oh noo, i fink Mr President need to hear this..

hmmm



I come against any & every feeling trying to tempt me into joining NCAN.

In general, we Nigerians don't value our lives. We don't even know the implication of expired food/drink commodities in our system, health wise, etc. Smh honestly. Guinness needs to sack the entire production team in that region because this will dent diageo image worldwide who are known for their altruistic values. This will be an added advantage for Nigeria beweries in that region
