Looks Like My Sweet Corn Is Fake. by Romanoff(f): 6:16am On Dec 27, 2023
So my Husband got a hamper this Holiday season and there was sweet corn inside of it. I was happy I wouldn't need to buy one to make fried rice.

Fast forward to when I stated cooking, something prompted me to check the container well since fake goods are trending and to my surprise, my sweet corn might be fake.

The word "Preservatives " isn't spelt correctly.

E dakun, what do you think?

It was regular corn they sell on the street and it wasn't as sweet as sweet corn.

Found out the soy sauce I had been using for weeks was fake also. The original name is Amoy; the one I bought was Amoys.
And the painful part was the fact I only discovered when it was nearly finished. I just simply threw away what was left of it, lesson learnt.

One really needs to be more vigilant these days when buying things in the market. The way at which these unscrupulous fake items merchandisers are going, many Nigerians will continue to be exposed to potential health hazards from consuming these adulterated food and drinks.

The thought alone is scary.

It's definitely fake!

Not just the name, but even the Chinese inscription by the side of the brand name is missing, replaced by Ziplook (whatever that is). Now, look lower down, that product description is kinda off, the original bears nothing like that.

Let me snap a picture of the Oyster Sauce I have, same brand (this one is not fake); use it to compare.

I just checked on Google and found out there seem to be many fakes oo
I've seen AMOYs, AMOY'c, AMQY.... and surprisingly, they are being sold by even the big supermarkets and well-known online outlets, e.g Jumia, Konga, etc.

Ahhh, it's even worse than I thought πŸ€”

These ungodly children of Shuku-Shuku Alabama from the East of the Niger are hell bent on killing everybody in Nigeria with their fake products simply because they lost a war in 1967.

In the 80’s, nobody knew about fake & sub-standard products until these cannibalistic bastards claimed to be more industrious & commerce-driven than the British.

β€œImporter! Exporter! We are all Billionaires in BIAFLA LAND”

Fake drugs, fake shoes, fake fragrances, fake phone accessories, fake electrical appliances, fake everything you can think of.

Yet, they will be beating their hairy chests like a Mongolia Gorilla.

Awon Oloriburuku!

Ogbeni keep quiet! Fake products are sold by unscrupulous members of every tribe in Nigeria. The one I posted above was purchased from a Yoruba lady in Mile 12. I didn't drag her tribe into it and I doubt she even knows that what she is selling is fake.

I can imagine they melted rubber, add yellow color, then mold it into corn sizes and packaged.

Please throw it away. You don't need corn to make a great fried rice.

The producers are people from one of the most filthy location that exist on the map of Nigeria

Animals in human skin, wicked and desperate to make money and won’t mind to poison the entire country.

Producers of fake foods, drinks and worst of all fake drugs. May they die horrible deaths and never find peace in this life and the here after
