Iran will aimlessly fire thousands of missiles with no reasonable targets.
How come they aren't firing hundreds of rockets anymore?
If the US and isreal bombard them the same way right now with nothing to defend it, hypocrites will start shouting genocide.

Kalulu44:
Good morning NL. I want us to calm down and discuss this topic very well. Do fake and expired products such as drugs and foods really harm us?
Let me start by laying some examples from my experiences. Firstly, I am not a drug/medicine/tablet taker or English medicine as most people call it. The only English medicine I take is blood tonic which was introduced to me some 10yrs ago by my late mum.
Apart from that, I prefer herbal medicine "agbo" than Panadol, paracetamol and co which has really helped me never to visit any hospital for over 30yrs and counting.
This blood tonic, sometimes I miss taking it for months and sometimes I take it steady for months. And with this I know how it works and improve my body when I do take it and how I emanciate if I don't take it.

Middle last year I was employed at a farm in a remote village in Ogun state. I couldn't find that blood tonic for over 2months, and luckily one day a guy started coming to the village on bike with pharmaceutical products and I asked for the blood tonic. He had it and when I asked for the price, he told me #1,600. I was shocked with the price cus I last bought in Lagos #2,500. I bought it and started using it. For the 6 months I spent in that village, I bought from him 4 times. And to be honest with you guys, the blood tonic works perfectly as it has been working for me over the years. But the unbeknown truth was that it was either fake or expired ones this guy is selling for me.
.
Fast forward to earlier this year I was transferred back to one of the city in Ogun state. I went to buy this same blood tonic, and was told it's now #3,500. I exclaimed to the chemist, that I just bought this same tonic for #1,600 some weeks ago, he told me that must have been fake or expired ones. I then told him but it works perfectly without any side effects. He couldn't say anything but "e dey be like that sometimes".
That's scenario 1.
Some years back in Oshogbo I was working in a drink, wine and beverage store.

The owner of the store gives us most of the drinks to drink when they're about to expire or has expired.
There's a store where we keep drinks that has expired, and you can go take as much as you want. Though the owner always tells us to dispose of them if we don't want them.

We take as much as we can and dispose the ones we can. All thru my working there, not me nor any of my other colleagues complain of bad health, stomach pain or any other side effects pertaining to those expired products we used to take.
That's scenario 2.
Apart from this two scenarios, we or should I say I must have eating and drank so many things out there without knowing they're fake or has expired. And I still lived on strong and in good health.
I was born and brought up in Lagos, I can confidently say 50% of majority of things we eat and drink in Lagos are either fake, expired or adurturated. Why bcus I know majority of places this fake and adurturated products are being produce. But with this fake products seemingly out there in millions, Lagosians still survive and go about their daily activities as if nothing is happening. God forbid bad thing, if truly those expired and fake products are truly bad for health, won't we be hearing and seeing thousands of death everyday?
.
Sometimes a product been cheaper than the original one doesn't mean it's fake, just that another company tries to produce another one affordable to the common man.
My best cola drink is coca cola, but they're different and affordable cola drinks in the market for those that can't afford coca cola.
So are other products out there which are inferior to the ones we thought it to be but affordable, does that make the inferior ones fake or not good for consumption?
Some families can no longer afford beverages like Milo, Bournvita, Peak Milk and co. But they're many alternatives out there that are cheaper and at the end of the day you that used Milo drank tea, and they too drank tea. Tea na tea!
My last thought, I am not in any way supporting fake and adurturated products, but with the prevailing economic hardship, I don't think we can do without them.
As far as they're not causing harm to us.
I made this post in respect to the thread of Nigeria customs seizing containers of fake goods worth over #6b.
The irony of it is, yes they're fake according to the customs. But will they destroy it, I am very sure 90% they won't.
They'll still recycle it and sell to their cronies and it will still flood the market.
.
So guys I wanna hear your take on this issue regarding fake and expired products to our health and economy at large.

Please there isn't any justification for consuming sub standard and expired edible products or promotion in anyway. Aside the deception,peoples immune systems are very different and varies from one person to another.
It is like consuming a spoilt orange or banana overtime and you expect it not to have a negative effect on your health.

Ogbeni, abeg summarize this jargons wey you write. Na beg I dey beg

Please this is a public forum and your opinion may not be the generally popular one.
I personally love detailed and self explanatory write ups.

Kingdavid579:
This propaganda is for terrorists sympathizers, they're creating their own happiness out of the thin air 😂

All of them ISLAMIC TERRORISTS just dey mark attendance. They love deceiving themselves and giving themselves false hopes.

Either ways it will be done with or without them.
Not everyone is expected to consent to it but majority will definitely do.

These evil people will later want to convince us the jews are the problem.

God1000:
I'm loving this, america is facing its biggest humiliation in history, Europe will not get involved this time, they have learnt their lessons from such military adventures in the past

If trump had succeeded in Iran, he would gone ahead to attack Greenland , Cuba, Colombia and other nations challenging him

Trump or no Trump, there is no place for that your ISLAMIC TERRORISM anymore in this world.

kingthreat:
Do you know how much oil Iran produces? That country is nowhere near a poor country. Food is not their problem. They have one of the biggest drone production in the world that they even donated to Russia. At the moment, there is zero military uprising within Iran. The West thought that by now Kurdish militias in some border lands will rise up but the Kurds have learnt from the US/Iraq war. The only solution to this war is for the West to sue for peace. Trump is sounding foolish as the day goes by saying Iranian military is obliterated then still warns Iran not to use their military. At the moment, 5000 marines have been dispatched to Iran and many may not go back home.
The only solution right now is to call for peace and end to aggression on all sides. The more it goes on, it won't favour the US most especially. This war will cost republicans badly in the next election.

You don't sound serious at all.
Na you want go dey trade or go buy their market when war is fought in their doorstep.
Make una just dey nairaland dey decieve una self and give yourselves false hopes.
You think say war is by aimlessly firing barrages of missiles and attack drones alone.

OnionBandit:
Worshippers of the West, I hope you all can now see that wars aren't won just by missiles, tough talks, boots on the ground or other forms of gragra.

Una go learn lesson

Supporters of ISLAMIC TERRORISM,haters of peace and promoters of chaos and violence, can you clearly see that Islamic terrorism has no place in a today's era of civilisation.
The longer the wars lingers ,the more difficult Iranian lives become in comparison to the west before it finally collapses from within.
WISDOM is golden!

It was a typo error. Thanks.

Are you sure perimeter is 43 cm?
OK you have corrected yourself

Heis00:
Some schools are very strict with lateness, but this reaction from the students also shows how frustrated they were. 😅

At the same time, throwing stones at the school gate isn’t the best way to handle it. Discipline is important, but situations like this always spark debate about how strict school rules should be. 📚

Honestly, do you think the school should have just opened the gate since it was only a minute late? 🤔

No one yeye Adult dey teach them that unruly behaviour still dey video them ,still post online to gather public sympathy instead of building those innocent kids to be disciplined and responsible.

With the amount of lies and propaganda you feed shallow minded people on this forum, Iran should easily be winning this war and the whole of America should be in shambles right now

God1000:
You reap what you sow, Iran has every right to defend itself

Exactly what they sow today will be reaped by these your Islamic terrorists in the future.
I can confidently tell you that and I will certainly let you know about it.

God1000:
Iran will be ranked among the five most powerful militaries in the world after this conflict

A new superpower is unveiling itself

A new super power on NAIRALAND

coolqayy:
Put that sentiment aside and think who the real terrorists are.
Oppressor and bully bastards

All these manipulation can't work in this era ,Islamic terrorism is a far bigger problem than initially thought.
Islamic terrorism should leave IRAN in peace, there is no place for Islamic terrorism any longer in this world.
We are wiser and the free world will forever remain united against evil having seen what Islam terrorists are capable of .

IRANIAN MILITARY OFFICIAL ON US MARINES:

Roman legions have been slain on our soil

American Marines may come, but we are the ones who decide how they will leave.

Story story ,they should go and get the memo from Saddam Hussein,yahyah Sinwar and co.
Let them go ahead and finish the US Marines na

rolams:
So, you think and believe that sending 5k soldiers/naval officers to fight over 300k soldiers and 18500 naval officers in their land is a wise decision right for the US/Trump? Abeg think deeply.

Only time will tell, at least I can easily quote you six months from today.
Wishes are most times different from reality, like I said only time will tell.

BreakingNews21:
The report states the trip from Taiwan to the Staights will take two weeks. A whole lot can happen in half a month. Also US Marines are land forces not Naval power. Secretary Hegseth seems clueless as a strategic leader.

Edit: #SendBarron 😉

so it is you that have the clue

Idaytesj29:
You mean the Israelis and Americans?

You badly wish....
Only time will tell.

Moniya4Real:
The most dangerous job in the world is being an American soldier.

So being a Nigerian soldier is what ?
Una too funny for this nairaland.

ChiefOloye:
At least, more than 2,000 of the troops will not return to base alive, while those who will manage to get back will suffer severe PTSD. If you think I'm not saying the truth, ask after some of the servicemen George Bush sent to Iraq and Afghanistan 25 years ago.

So it is the Iranian army will be alive and not have what is worse than PTSD? You must be joking.
This is war and you are already counting American losses despite the odds clearly not in favour of Iran.
Very funny!

God1000:
Trump has blood on his hands, Too bad that americans are dying for Zionists instead of fellow Americans

And why are you crying more than the bereaved?

Islamic terrorism is a far bigger threat to human peaceful coexistence than America will ever be.
