Calm down,

Garri drinking is associated with hungry student in as much as it is choice to drink.

It is associated with poverty. If you ever went to boarding school and your parents are not the wealthy type, garri aka otto, garrium sulphate, garriopea, etc will be your best friend.

Nobody is condemning him my dear jamace.

I still drink garri because i like it and it is choice.

GARRI DRINKING has a tag in naija.

It is no value!

If it was for Yoruba votes, Obasanjo would not have won in 1999.
He lost in hometown. Lost in his state such if Option A4 was used, Obasanjo would have lost the election.

Yoruba voted massively for AD.

HealthRe: Fake Drugs: China Apologises To Nigeria by agabaI23(m): 6:48pm On Dec 04, 2009
Dear friend,

A pathogen can develop resistance to an antimicrobial if it was exposed to sub-clinical dose of the agent.

Any other method of acquisition of resistance will have nothing to do with the drug. You may be talking about some mobile genetic elements in this regard.

Then if there is intrinsic resistance it is a different ball game.

If there is no agent in the package, I REPEAT it will not induce resistance strain development. it is a placebo at best.

People can only die.

I am ready to learn more from you bro.

Fake Drugs: China Apologises to Nigeria
•As NAFDAC’s drug war goes global
From Kingsley Nwezeh in Abuja, 09.21.2009

Following cases of importation of unwholesome drugs into Nigeria by Chinese companies, China has formally apologised for flooding the country with such harmful products.
The development followed intensified efforts and whistle stop campaigns by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in India, China and the United States among other countries to drum up support and seek strategic alliances for its campaign against unwholesome drugs.

Rendering his apology in Abuja, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Rong Yansong, who noted that Nigeria was the country’s most important trade partner in Africa, regretted the importation of fake drugs into the country by some Chinese nationals.
Speaking at a meeting of global coalition partners against fake drugs manufacture, importation and exportation in Abuja, the envoy apologised for his country’s involvement in the illicit trade.
“I wish to use this opportunity to apologise to Nigeria for the importation of such products into the country by Chinese firms.

The Chinese government would ensure the punishment of fake drug exporters from China into Nigeria, just like those already in their custody would be dealt with according to the law”, he said. In June, the Dr Paul Orhii-led agency announced it had detected a large consignment of anti-malaria drugs from China, which had been labelled “Made in India”, being sold in the country.
The discovery had snowballed into a diplomatic row with the Indian government lodging a strong protest with the Chinese authorities.

“It was an unfortunate incident, but it has opened up a lot of opportunities in fight against counterfeits, with the Indian government involved as it has interests in the issue,” NAFDAC DG said.
Orhii had embarked on a five-day visit to hold talks with the Indian government and visit pharmaceutical factories in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Pune and Mumbai.

He said the suspect drugs were declared counterfeit only after laboratory tests.“The packaging was very sophisticated and on its physical scrutiny, it looked genuine. But after laboratory analysis we found there were no active ingredients. If it had remained undetected, it could have created resistant strains of malaria,” Ohri added.The Chinese government, he said, had reacted by asking for “more information” and “promised to conduct its own investigation”.“We have learnt that they have identified about 50 (Chinese) companies that are involved in this syndicate,” Orhii said.Orhii, however, maintained that there was still the need to conduct a public information campaign about Indian products coming to Nigeria.He also said his organisation had already taken steps to be more “vigilant” to detect counterfeit drugs at the ports of entry itself.Incidentally, China and India are the top exporters of drugs to Nigeria, where foreign-made pharmaceuticals account for 60 percent of drugs in the market.Going by a draft bill before the Indian parliament, exporters of unwholesome products risk life jail, should it be passed into law. Similarly, any Nigerian drug importer who connives with an Indian drug company to produce fake drugs would also be jailed for life upon conviction.NAFDAC on its own had also proposed stiffer penalties for fake drug exporters and manufacturers in Nigeria which would be presented to the National Assembly

The NAFDAC boss had said recently that the biggest problem facing the agency was the issue of counterfeiting which was reduced to 16 per cent during the reign of Professor Dora Akunyili as head of the agency.“One of our biggest problems is counterfeiting which was reduced to 16 per cent during the time of my predecessor. Even 16 per cent is not enough. We want to take it to international standard”, he said. The recently inaugurated Board of the National Agency for Food Drugs, Administration and Control also expressed its determination to reduce incidences of fake and substandard drugs within six months. Chairman of the board, Dr. Philip Emefo, said the agency was ready to partner with the National Assembly in strengthening the existing laws regulating the activities of the agency.
If there were no active ingredient, it would not create any resistant strain my friend. To what would it be resistant to?
You should have asked the experts before yarning rubbish.

The Metropolitan Police's Central e-crime unit carries out the biggest single swoop of bogus websites selling fake designer fashion items

UK police this week shut down more than 1,200 scam websites that claimed to be selling designer clothes and jewellery, in what is thought to be the biggest single swoop of its kind in the world.

The 1,219 websites purported to sell items ranging from Ugg boots and Tiffany & Co jewellery to GHD hair straighteners. Police said the fact the sites had ".co.uk" web addresses meant innocent British shoppers were duped into making what appeared to be bargain purchases, but they received either counterfeit products or nothing at all.

The websites are thought to have generated millions of pounds for organised criminal gangs, which could then be used to fund other illicit activities, the Metropolitan Police's Central e-crime unit (PCeU) said. Victims also ran the potential risk of the criminals stealing their identities and credit card and banking details for misuse elsewhere.


The clampdown, dubbed Operation Papworth, was instigated by the PCeU to target the "criminal misuse" of UK domain names with the aim of preventing harm to British consumers and making it safer to trade online. A spokesman said that as a result, "Christmas shoppers stand a better chance of avoiding online fraud this festive season".


Intelligence showed that the vast majority of the sites were registered in China and other countries in Asia, mostly using false or misleading details. That meant it was almost impossible for victims to complain about poor quality counterfeit items or goods never arriving. It also made it difficult for trading standards and other law enforcement agencies to take action.


One online security source said the operation was ground-breaking in its scale and in the way it attempted to protect the UK system. The source said this was thought to be the biggest mass "deregistration" of scam counterfeit goods websites anywhere in the world.


It is understood other designer brands targeted by the criminals include jewellery firm Links of London and clothing labels Vivienne Westwood and Ed Hardy.



Too good to be true

Detective superintendent Charlie McMurdie, head of the PCeU, said: "Fraudsters target the victim's desire to buy designer goods at reduced prices, particularly at this time of year. The risk begins when your desire to purchase blinds your judgment or leads you to illegal websites. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."


The unit worked in partnership with Nominet, the body responsible for UK domain name registrations. As a result, all the sites have been taken down at the registry level to prevent re-registration.


Lesley Cowley, chief executive of Nominet, said: "We received clear instructions from the PCeU to take down the .co.uk domain names, which have been under investigation for criminal activity. We worked closely with the police and our registrars to quickly carry out the instruction to shut down access to these sites."


Consumer Direct, Trading Standards officers, the Office of Fair Trading and manufacturers also helped to identify the fraudulent websites.


Consumer Direct said that if consumers have bought from one of these sites, and the goods have not arrived but their credit or debit card has been charged, they should contact their card company to see if they can get their money back.
