At this point, that drug can go as high as even 40k depending on the level of scarcity.

Especially now that it has to be sourced directly abroad.

So, don't be doubtful... You have no idea how wicked an average Nigerian businessman can be.

In Reality, can't be called wickedness. sad

Some of these Pharmaceutical companies must have imported ttheir Drugs.πŸ€”

He can never rule Nigeria.
We don't need a chronic liar as a president.

Oga, stay focused on the nation... Your country is bleeding badly on all sides.

Leave Obi alone abeg.

Obi is no longer anyone's problem... Nigeria is currently everyone's headache.

To the corrupt leaders and their corrupt and ignorant followers. You think looting, embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds, and nepotism don't have a negative effect on the country?

You cannot keep milking sheep and starving them, but still expect them to be in top shape. it is gross and colossal stupidity that dwarfs mount Everest. The nephilim size of foolishness. Pay day has come.

The Chinese and the Indians are outcompeting them. They will come back some day after they have restrategized. In business, you innovate or die.

Now Sanofi will free up more cash to improve their margins and make their products more competitive against generic products coming from China and India. Our indigenous pharmaceutical companies doing importation business only should learn from this because some day, same thing that is happening to Sanofi today will happen to them.

Boss, I know what I am saying.

I know someone who stocked and hoarded Skineal cream many years back.

He counted on scarcity, and it happened... He made a killing on that product.

Face masks during COVID-19 nko?!!

I even know someone that bought and hoarded Augmentin and Ventolin Inhalers... Can you begin to imagine the massive profits he has made so far?!!

The truth is that Nigeria’s only hope to attract FDI is their diaspora.

When the diaspora invest and succeed, it gives other foreign investors confidence to also invest.

This past election left a bitter taste and has drastically reduced diaspora remittances.

The only thing Nigeria can do it to elect a good transparent leader that will restructure and open up the economy while actively engaging the diaspora to come home to invest.




...and what will do newbie diaspora investment do differently than old time professional investors?

Nigeria has a lot of successful people with companies in the diaspora. I have been privileged to meet some. A lot of those people would easily set up business in Nigeria if they were confident in the direction that the country was headed.

Well thats the only choice. If people on the outside don’t fell confidence in Nigeria’s leadership, they will never invest their hard earned money.

India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh are developing because their diaspora initially came back and started companies.

The third party is most likely WWWCVL or Assene. A lot of the big pharma companies are mitigating their exposure to the Nigerian market by adopting this model.

Must you defend crap with this rubbish you spewed? Sometimes it is wise to keep ones mouth shut.
How can you with all sense of responsibility claim generic products are chasing out proper medication and hence the legacy companies are leaving? Instead of tackinling the main issues such as operating cost with eg diesel at ₦1300 per liter, the exchange rate at 1150 to $1, poor electricity supply, inability to repatriate sales, poor purchasing power etc.
Oga, Friday, I bought 60l of diesel, Saturday, 300l, yesterday ie Tuesday 450l ie ₦1,053,000. I doubt will last till Friday ie 1 week.
Now you then talk of company running 1000kva gen, and think they can sustain spending eg 3m daily on diesel? Do you know there are equipments that can not be turned off? Go to clinix Medicare at illupeju as see the heavy equipments they have to power 24 hours non stop. If clinix changes their model tomorrow, you will say local conershop quack labs are chasing them by giving competition.

We warned them.

We warned about the consequences of desecrating our nation for criminals, they fell on deaf ears.
We warned about removing the ancient landmark of the land to suit criminals, they blocked their ears.
We warned that our nation was at the edge of collaspe and divinity selected OBIDATTI to pull out the nation from death.
We warned that even if tinubu and his criminal gang employed angels, that nothing good will come out from it.

We are warning again!!! Nigeria is operating under a cursed leadership and mandate . From executive to judiciary to legislature, the desecration of the land has brought a curse on the land.

Nigeria as a nation will be hit with the consequences until the desecrators are taken away.

Individuals with clean hands and heart, divinity will see you through.



Nigerians are suicidal people only a suicidal people will ignore all the red flags and still go ahead to vote mr bulaba and his apc party that every sane person knows brought nothing but destruction to nigeria since 2015.

Those who choose to be selectively blind because their favourite politicians are at the helm or what?

You say most people don't know Sanofi but I can bet many have used their drugs even without knowing them. So you are focusing on people's knowledge of the company while ignoring the effect of the withdrawal on the life of people.

I ask again who is playing politics with Nigeria and Nigerians?
