I still wonder whether NAFDAC as an organization is working to its full potential, NAFDAC ought to focus on researching and improving all these local herbs and develop them to products that will be accepted by the world after passing through many lab tests. Medically, Nigeria as a country is worst.

There are some ailments that I don't even think they have drugs for... Things like pile (Jedi Jedi) or back ache, I am yet to see anyone using orthodox drugs for it..Na better agbo me I know say dem dey take for things like this. Beginning of this year, I was always going down with Malaria. All orthodox drugs didn't work. The moment I went home and my home cooked agbo for me, I drank, steamed and bathed with the agbo, I immediately felt the changes on my body. For months now, I haven't fall sick for once. I do not recommend all these road side sellers but you see, good home made ago with the right herbs, the efficacy cannot be overemphasized.
i understand nafdac's point...but u see these chemicals called drugs are also dangerous...,.my biggest resolution this year was ditching pharmaceutical drugs for ayurvedic after testing ayurvedic medication efficacy for 3 years

Next february,i wil be celebrating 4 years of no malaria or sickness....all thanks to DIY ayurvedic and african herbal blend

I feel NAFDAC should have made extensive research on our herbal concoction to improve on it's form , marketability and by extension, it's global acceptance.
Even Our forefathers took this herbs and lived long, the knowledge of the preparation of it has been passed on from Generation to Generation .
Discouraging us from patronizing our indigenous technology and medicines is just ridiculous.
It shows how sold out this country is,
Like shooting one's self in the leg continuously, it affects the whole body ���

Concoction is rubbish.

Bacteria and Algae laden drinks left over for days waiting for buyers.

I spent N1,000 on one and it didn't do anything till I used herbs and natural leaves to achieve my health purpose.

i dont patronise agbo sellers...i detest them.but u see those natural medicines,especially ayurvedic ones (indian medicines) or dr sebi's medicines,they are far better for the body systems than phatmaceutical ones

nigeria government failed to train traditional doctor ors or make traditional medicine a course of study just like the way indians and Chinese govts are going it

So how do you know who actually knows the right combo? It's not like they paste the ingredients on the bottles do they? So you'd rather experiment with your body to find out if it was the right combo or not??

Atleast many of these so called English drugs..

Made an effort to research into the safety..

And side effects of their drugs..

How many have you conducted on what the Agbọ woman is hawking?

Do you even have any idea on what and what she had added in it?
They don't! The just 'trust' a concoction being sold on the street without even knowing what was used, the amount of phtyto chemicals in it, the side effects and long term effects..orthodox drugs atleast conduct researches for years and on a wider population before pushing their drugs into the market. You can hold the drug makers liable but can you hold an anonymous seller on the street??

they are far worse than ttaditional medicine...they cure ailment and start another one inside the body...imagine taking penicillin that kills bacteria in the body,it ends up destroying the guts.....if u take natural anti-bateria like garlic,echinacea etc....they help the guts

The notion that traditional/natural drugs below pharmaceutical ones is like saying GMOs or processed foods are far better tham natural foods



I get what nafdac is trying to pass across.those agbo sellers are too unhygeinic and non chalant

Whether we like it or not, there are risks attached to taking agbo. What the govt needs to do is sensitize the producers of these herbal medicine best practices. I perdonally detest OTC drigs because of side efffects and weak results

It's high time we standardized our local medicine, if they work like we claim, then there is big business to be made from them. Instead of the mixture liquid can they be encapsulated so we don't taste the bitterness? We really need to start seeing growth in this industry.


The bitterness is the active ingredient, that's the component of the herb in its natural state that fights the ailments

So you still ended up agreeing with nafdac then. Nobody is against natural remedies which everyone is aware of. Fruits and vegetables prevent a lot of sicknesses, we were taught that in school. Ginger, garlic, tomatoes does wonders. But patronising someone who mixed unknown herbs and roots in unknown hygienic conditions with unknown after effects with unknown address is just way too risky and foolish(I am not referring to you)

Read the advice given. They said do not patronize the harbal hawkers. Thay did not say it does not work. What they said is that these people keep the agbo for a while. There is growth of bacteria in the soaked roots. When injested it causes other problems that may negate the efficacy of the herbal mixture.
Simply saying you are treating one issue and installing another.
If you did basic biology, you will know soaking herbs, roots in water for 3 days and at temperature, you will grow culture.
I noticed the one you used for your maleria was freshly made, boiled and you consumed it hot. It was not kept for extended period. Therein is the difference.
I also think buying the agbo and mixing it with quality alcohol ( not the cheap ethanol those women use that can damage liver) is better than using water. Bacteria will have difficulties growing in alcohol compared to water.

What naija lack is enforcement.. Is it difficult to ban all concoction sellers in Nigeria? No.
The agbo joint even serve as headquarters for area boys in most parts of Lagos.. Around 20 to 30 gather to drink in every nite at once in my area while harassing road users..

From police brutality, to corruption, to illegal drugs, prostitution etc.. Govt can actually stop it if they wish to.. But the decay in d land profits those in our govt

I guess NAFDAC wants to start selling Agbo or perhaps ask every hawkers to register in their office so they can be given their NAFDAC number. Agbo that has been solving lots problems that u guys wants to stop.
