There is a video on youtibe of someone filling a cway dispenser bottle at a tap
from the video it might even have been a cway driver for that matter

Can u imagine.....Smh

[color=royalblue]I don't know the way they are adulterating the cans, but it is quite difficult.

Maybe the cans impounded where bought to mix with the counterfeit...Maybe

Even in Nigeria, only very few companies produce cans...Like very few

Anybody that can import the whole machinery from China will not bother to hide inside bush and produce fakes.

Cans are still the way to go. [/color]

It may be difficult to, but it's not impossible.

At least I have heard stories of traders in that Apongbon/Oke-Arin axis who have Machines they use to erase expiry date of products and write a totally different one on it.

GrammarNazi1:
But even people in Lagos cannot really tell fake from the original.

I expect a difference in taste between the fake and the original, but I feel the difference may be too insignificant to identify the difference?


This is the reason why whenever I want to get important drugs, I always get them from a reputable pharmacy like Medplus.

The problem with that "taste difference test " is that most times most people can't tell the difference. At least for all those apongbon Hennessey, Ciroc and co; what a friend told me was that most people who go to club drink fake liquor because by the time they get to the club they already took a bottle or two and their taste bud has already been altered by alchohol in the system. So it is difficult for them to know they are drinking fake liquour in the club.

i had a colleague who used to work in guiness
he said that they went to meet with the late Dora Akunyuli to ask how they can combat counterfieting of guiness

she told them - there is no way.

when the people counterfeiting are ready to kill you and there will be no consequences.

[to this day no one was arrested for her attempted assasination. and the bullet went through her headgear]

she said the best you can do is periodically change your branding.

when you live in lagos or a capital city you can even easily identify or source the originals. go out of lagos and you will see where people are literally making billions from selling adulterated products to people who cannot easily identify the original.

It's just so annoying that people engaging in the crime call it hustling. How can ur hustle be endangering people's live ?

Las Las na people wey dey drink only water save for this country (Provided they don't drink unhygienic water too)

You could notice that unfortunate soul is on some personal agenda with me.

At first he started with if i hype any coach,before i cleared him that i have been hyping pep guardiola way back,only to jump unto his next agenda.

It is obvious the unfortunate being wants to turn his children to fatherless. Not even sure this impotent idiot can bare children,it must have been an agreement between him and his wife to bring in bastards as his own children to raise.

Ashi were.

U no need all this one na. Just let it go.

I miss those days when I had not gain admission into Ui, when I was jobless & so active here omo.

I miss this thread & it's vawulence.

I always knew u would outgrow that phase of life.

Lobatan, Izzou can drinks sef don burst.

All those machines used for packaging can drinks can be bought from China na. It just takes a criminal mind with a daring spirit to put some of these things into play.

GloriousGbola:
This is the same guy who thought 200k is generous as a salary. Understand that you are engaging a sheltered person without responsibilities.

Rent and school fees constitute significant spend that you must plan ahead for. If you are a salary earner you must set aside. If you are a business owner you need a bulk payment.

I miss the days of paid employment because I had January school fees on lock back then. I set up my finances such that my leave allowance, 13th month and turkey allowance all combined in December.

Those days are gone now.

Gbam!

One would just be wasting time explaining things to someone who will never understand these things.

TrebleChamp:
Watched the video and didn't see any where drinks were canned, or is this the shorter version?

I can't find the full video. I watched an extended version on TV back then and I saw cans of Malt drinks impounded in the raid. The story made serious headline for days back then.

TrebleChamp:
I bought 5 bottles of Bacchus Tonic Wine and 5 bottles of Amarula Cream on Friday at ShopRite Ikeja Mall, giving out 4 bottles each to my bosses at work. Na can drinks from now on, until those weyre learn to fake can drinks too...

Just dey play; something wey dem don dey do pre-dating 5 years ago. Watch the video below

Or maybe bank robberies have just reduced nation wide. I can't remember any in Rivers State as well in the last four years. There was a time it was very common.

Na bank robbery in ur state reduced o, it still happens in other states. At least there were bank robberies within the last 1-2 years in states like Kogi, Benue, Edo etc that left 100 of millions carted, dozens dead and properties destroyed.

You won't see ETH's attorneys tonight but if we manage beat Akwa United or Berekum Chelsea which is another useless club, they'll be out in full defending their MCM...I no know whether the attorneys are also bald. Maybe it is the love for their fellow baldie...

A win is a win !

Personally I think this is worth celebrating

The Lagos state government and the LSSTF they set up that equips RRS has been a success . Armed robbers don’t just feel convinced they can walk into any bank in the remotest part of Lagos; rob a bank and walk free .

That alone is worth celebrating cos this Lagos everybody eyes dey chook

GloriousGbola:
One of those people converting 200k to 400m in 5 years and you can't figure out how.

U took the word out of my mouth. Na the part of the story nobody tells be this .

Evans was a successful business man before he was bursted by the authorities . That man sponsoring badoo in Ikorodu was also a successful businessman before dem knack am apako .

I’ve learnt to be contented in this Nigeria with the little my legit hustle can bring me .

Egbon wey dey motivate him younger bro don go dey unfortunate to join man utd.


Now younger bro don make UCL knockout stage before egbon . This is tough 😢

[color=royalblue]So 10 million go turn 200k if the MFbank crashes?

Make i kuku dig hole for my backyard[/color]

YES !

If and if the bank crashes, u will get ur whopping 200k from NDIC because they cannot cough out more than what they guaranteed they will pay if the bank crashes/fails .

Dey include CBN in ur morning devotion prayers because if they fail in their duty to supervise these banks as they should , they will put u in a life-threatening position and they will only offer a terse apology and that’s it.

DissTroy:
My thoughts went straight to Kuda, the defacto digital bank for techies and tech startups, asides Wema Bank. Kuda is a microfinance bank. If it crashes...

It is what it is !

So what u just have is HOPE .

U HOPE CBN will do their jobs diligently ;know when it appears the bank may fail , flag it , take the necessary actions afterwards and HOPE it works for ur good.

If not , u will have to proceed to NDIC , have them process maximum of N200k of ur funds with micro finance bank and “praise God in all circumstances “

rooftops:
Thanks for the insight. I really appreciate. Does this even apply to all those microfinance guys like opay and the rest abi na OYO their customers dey?

Microfinace banks are insured to the tune of 200k , while commercial banks are insured up to the tune of 500k by NDIC .

So if everywhere red and yawa gas, the maximum u will get back from ur account with a micro finance bank listed by NDIC after the bank fails is 200k with proper documentation o.

PS: I don’t know what they categorize Opay and the rest under o; but dem no fit big pass micro finance and commercial banks

rooftops:
I always thought banks pay the full amount in case of failure?

Not at all.

When bank liquidates , the first set of people that will get compensated are the creditors of the bank followed by those who hold preference shares. If at that time money no dey again to share to anybody ; e don be for any other stakeholder be that .

Now that’s where NDIC comes in; NDIC will pay a Maximum of N500k to u for the funds u have with the bank as a customer and that’s the end . Cos the N500k is the Maximum NDIC can guarantee they can pay on behalf of the bank if it fails .

But don’t fret , NDIC and CBN through their risk based supervision of banks have made it almost impossible for banks to fail post 2005 bank consolidation exercise . ( Just like itsrm pointed out ) . Instead make bad thing happen , rain go fall .

Before a bank fails CBN would’ve seen it miles ahead and they would’ve stepped in . It’s one of the reasons AMCON was established ; if not for
AMCON banks like FBN, UBN etc would’ve failed due to their bad debts wey people like Oba Otudeko , Ben Bruce and the likes dey owe them.

raumdeuter:
That twet will likely be a lie, Why will a company produce 100 Azul in a year. Some stores in the US have over 100 Azul.

Some people just tweet lies. Where is his source that 100 Azul are produced

It has been debunked .

The author of that tweet delibrately misinformed people . There’s a particular exclusive azul which the company produces just 100 pieces of it yearly . It’s one of their products but very pricey which costs thousands of pounds .

U know just like Ciroc having a particular variant that is exclusive and reserved for the classy guys.

Na the author of the tweet wey wan catch trips just dey misinform people .

Itsrm:
Many will follow. We have gotten to the period when they all start crashing down. Anyone who has money in all these funny places should better withdraw it before it's too late.

I am tempted to believe those who always u’ve money with those funny/wonder banks are people who did not genuinely sweat to make their money . Because I just can’t understand why anybody in his right senses will leave normal commercial banks that are partially protected by NDIC and then keep their money with those funny banks .

Is it ignorance or they bewitched them ?

Even normal commercial banks , if u have 100m deposited with them and the bank fails ; NDIC will only pay u 500k which is the Maximum insured sum they can guarantee .

Person go come dey out money for one nonsense Gomoney that u don’t even know if NDIC can even guarantee #20k to give u if they liquidate …. Smh

Itsrm:
So dollar wey we buy at black market rate, they will being it into the banking sector and give us naira equivalent at CBN rate. Make dem dey play 😂

Besides, how much can we ordinary citizens stash away? They know the people stashing the real money, they should start from them.

Wale Edun shaould even start from his principal Tinubu, Wike , Atiku and other presidential aspirants who mopped up dollars late last year to bribe delegates for their respective parties’ presidential ticket .

Na those ones gan gan know where the dollars hide outside the banking system

Iam surprised to see saliba

Cedric is even playing better than this kiwi
Omo this kiwi useless in and out

I think say na only me see am . Kiwior clearly can’t play LB and as for LCB ; it’s only advisable to play him there in dead rubber cup matches when we need to rest Gabriel .

I think going forward we should stop this idea of buying a player they claim can play Multiple roles cos most times they usually end up being Jack of all trades master of none .

If we wan buy CB make we buy , if we wan buy RB or LB make we buy am .

Itsrm Tinubu and Wale Edun are coming for those dollars una don stash away o

https://www.nairaland.com/7938974/govt-targets-dollars-nigerians-hands

Edun stated this on Tuesday while appearing before the House of Representatives Committee on Finance.

He stated that the forex in the hands of Nigerians represents the new “foreign reserve” of the country, adding that the liquidity in the hands of Nigerians runs into billions of dollars.


“Foreign exchange held by Nigerians in cash outside the banking system is in the billions,” he said.

The minister disclosed that President Bola Tinubu’s executive order will help to “facilitate” this money into the “banking sector.”

“Mr President has authorised an executive order to facilitate the payment of that cash into the banking system,” he said.

What is going on here ?

This midfield just useless . See as everywhere turn express in the absence of Rice

Itsrm:
We are slowly getting there. As it stands, both factions will continue sitting in obedience to their various court orders.

When it gets to that point, I believe whoever has the Federal might wins.

Make we dey watch the movie dey go.

Lmao

APC in Rivers is accusing PDP governor of being a failure after 6 months in office but APC at the Federal level is not a failure after 6 months in office despite the high exchange rate, general rise in price of products and the hardship currently being experienced all over the country.

Some jokes write themselves

Itsrm:
This current court order did not affirm Ehie Edison as speaker. Just said the other faction should not conduct any sitting and not disrupt the activity of Ehie until the judgment is given.

Meanwhile, you're right. They also have their court order from an Abuja high court. Court orders are for sale. You just have to find a judge willing to sell


https://leadership.ng/court-orders-rivers-assembly-to-perform-its-functions-restrains-fubara-from-withholding-funds-removing-clerk-others/

Come to think of it, What if Wike's guys somehow impeach Fubara and Fubara no gree vacate the seat; wetin go happen ?

liveLongNprospa:
My problem with you is your lack of spine in certain cases.
It's a conversation.
You Don dey talk about gaslighting.
If those people asked you for help and you told them no. Would you be a bad

lol. He said lack of spine

My opinion is my opinion; I don't need to conform to urs. How I see things is obviously different from how u do.
