He had tried a version of Craigslist and Movie production in the past. He himself has admitted to having some personality or learning challenge that makes him to hide himself from society. We don't know what baba is dealing with. Example below is unusual behaviour from a 40 year old billionaire.

Damn! This is serious; I used to think he has reclusive personality like Mike Adenuga the billionaire, but this one loud o.

I know he ran nairalist at a point but I don't know what became of it.

Yes, not all products can be reused. Manufacturers of products, drinks and drugs must start thinking now and roll out measures to protect their brands and restore public confidence.

As it stands, many people have now joined me in my water crusade

Omo, public confidence is really on a low.

Imagine they gave me one popular redwine last week at work. I see am where I keep am yesterday I no know whether make I trash am or give person

GrammarNazi1:
Even for reusable containers, there should be technology that would indicate that a container has been opened once if it has ever been opened once.

This will show a buyer who checks the bar code that the product is fake.

Technology is really helpful only if stakeholders are ready to end product counterfeiting.

I guess the producers will have no choice going forward because the sales volume they will lose with buyers boycotting their products due to counterfeiting should be enough motivation for them to invest in technology. Stakeholders like NAFDAC, SON etc will also do well to sensitize buyers by running radio and TV adverts. They should stop diverting monies in their budget meant for such public awareness.

Between today and the 2nd of January, there are Premier League games on 11 out of the 13 days! 🔥

Good news

We go enjoy this holiday season at home in peace; especially now that outside is expensive

But the problem is that they use original containers and pour fake inside. Take engine oil for instance. If you take a 4 litre jug of Mobil 1 and pour palm oil instead, scanning the barcode will still say it's original. It's really a difficult thing to achieve.

What we can also do as some have suggested is to destroy any used can or bottle. That will go a long way.

They can't do this for all produts na. There are some products they can't lay their hands on the original containers just like that.

For example Cranberry juice now, how dem wan take lay their hands on the original paper container of the juice? The conatiner is not re-usable

GrammarNazi1:
Another important question is, how can fake products be identified?

I think a brand's product should have a unique code that can be used to confirm the product's authenticity via the official website of the brand.

I am talking about something similar to the IMEI of a phone.

Now that's another reasonable and important question. Maybe like a unique bar code or something that can be easily verifiable.

NAFDAC needs to move beyond occasionally busting fake products manufacturers; they should put in place measures that will ensure buyers beware. They should allow us check and determine fake products ourselves at the point of buying.

Lack of proper competition is a factor too. There is no comparable alternative so he happy to maintain the status quo.

The problem a competitor will face is that Seun started when some of us don't even have access to affordable internet. A lot of old users are emotionally attached to Nairaland and it will take more than an app and a more refined UI to drag them to the competitor's new platform. Like me now, na this nairaland I gain admission into university; it will take a whole new innovative product offfering for a competitor to win me over completely.

I think it's best Seun either steps up or sell to any of these young tech boys let them do their thing.

On the issue of fake consumable items ranging from alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic beverages, soy sauce, etc. tranding this week, I think the issue has only confirmed my long-held opinion that majority of Nigerians do not care about important issues. They just want to MEMEfify, catch cruise and joke around with serious issues instead of putting on their thinking cap and ask pertinent questions.

I watched in awe how people turned the whole issue to memes sharing on twitter threads, catching cruise with different names of AMOY soy sauce (which suggests the product has been massively counterfeited), A bottle of PEPSI with the counterfeited name POPSI, etc. Some people even tribalized the issue.

Yesterday when I got home, I checked my kitchen cabinet to check the AMOY soy sauce I bought the last time I went shopping groceries and like every other person I confirmed it's the counterfeit I bought from a popular retail store. The first thing that came to my mind is to check the NAFDAC reg number and as expected it carries a NAFDAC number.

Now the question I think most people should be asking is: Did NAFDAC indeed register the product and issued that NAFDAC number? If yes, how come NAFDAC issued a registration number for a counterfeit product?

If No, why has NAFDAC not come out to tell us before now that any AMOY soy sauce that looks in so so way and has this particular NAFDAC reg number did not pass through them and as such we should avoid them? As in they can inform us that the distributors of the soy sauce forged the reg number on the body of the product and tell us to avoid them.

All I'm saying is; Kudos to NAFDAC for the recent busts of producers of fake consumables, but NAFDAC still needs to up their game. SPAR even posted the soy sauce they have in their stores in a bid to convince customers they sell the original AMOY, but a twitter user busted their bubble when he posted the original one from the chinese manufacturer and it differs from what they(SPAR) posted suggesting they are also selling counterfeit.

The guy be like person wey hammer through ingenuity and decided to rest on his laurels.

Money don silence ingenuity. Ingenuity don lazzident.

This is exactly what I feel too. He's just like somone who made good money from "pool" business which he started years ago and then gets stuck with that money . He closes his eyes to owning a baba ijebu company,owning a sport bets company, owing a casino & bar, owning a chain of hotels and moving to real estate.

Trossard defends. I get the TAA aspect well. But If we leave Zinny vs Salah, na L2 Raya go chop taya. Infact i doubt Raya can give tha Rams performance for that 2-2 draw last season. I dunno why. He faced over 14shots on goal. This Raya that keeps scaring someone with crosses situation?

Gp...................Raya....Gp

Or

Gp....Raya................................Gp


Back to back, this situation has scared us or led to goals

Martinelli offers us more attacking threat and also helps pin Alexander Arnold back; Trossard doesn't offer us that and as such it makes more sense for him to be subbed on in the latter part of the game. Martinelli also tracks back; in fact his track back this season has been super thus far.

As for LB, its either we use an attack minded Zinchecncko and live with the consequences or use Kiwior that can't attack and sometimes fails in his defensive work like Zinchencko.

Mehn people Dey full that place… My friend that entered last month did video call with me when he was there, they had Burna Boy and Poco.

Yes o. U know naija na, everybody wants to make a statement. There are those who go there regularly, there are IJGB's that want to spend the FX and there are those who just want to brag about chilling at Obi's house cos that's the happening place in town now.

Anyways the prices for tables definitely demands they bring in A-list celebrities regularly sha

daveP:
Nobody has lost possession around our box than Zinny this season.

If we want to contest this UCL, a key weakness of our defense is our FBs. Once again, UCL no be beans. No be pap. White was caught off several times by mitoma and his partner in crime. Saliba left his spot to be doing RB duties ALL the times BHA attacked us, while BW was just 😮‍💨


As for Zinny, i already know 7teams in this R16 of UCL that will punish us instantly for all those silly loss of possession. Instantly. Perhaps we need to loan Kiwi and get a loaned FB if possible. Or just play WB style if these two are in XI.


Liverpool game... lets just colet that midfield. They'll resort to usual long balls. This is a Trossard game too. Saka comes alive better with Trossard in XI. Make Nunez no come rediscover form vs Raya abeg o. Wasteful 9.

Starting Trossard will make Alexander-Arnold free to roam that right wing to support Loserpool's attack. With Martinelli starting, Alexander-Arnold would not be foolish enough to wander upfiield leaving a very fast Martinelli behind him.

That is why partey must start ahead of kaikai
Saka and odegaard can help out white but you see that sallah
You saw his last burst of speed which led to dalot red, i was just shouting ema je ko lo oo, e pa sibe

Funny enough, Havertz always mark, its just that he can give out fouls in dangerous areas with that his long leg that is always outsretched.

If partey must play, then Rice needs to be allowed to play advance role thereby leaving Partey to do most of the defensive work . I don't know if Partey is fully fit to burst a lung doing that for at least 70 minutes.

See Nigerian politicians wearing agbada going to Commision the project like " I'm not the blide, NFF and FIFA are the blide in this case ''

.
The strength of Liverpool is there fullback.
Martinelli has to start.
Your see they will need to players each to keep Saka and Martinelli (Note Saka has not been playing very well except yesterday).
Bloop moved ATE to midfield but he operates the same way as full back (wing back). If Martinelli can get to act. AAT will have to help in that right side.
The problem really is Zinch.
And Toni is not available.
Another Problem is white.
All of a sudden he is lacking confidence.
It means Harvetz has to start .
I don't know who will help white.

White and Zinny is making Rice to work so.hard.
That guy is a baller

U are right, If Rice burns out early they should arrest white and Zinchencko as main culprit. They make Rice's job extra stressful with the way both of them usually lose concentration in the middle of the the game.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has seen the trending news of the new mini " stadium" project sponsored by FIFA and overseen by NFF in Kebbi state that was recently commisoned

I'm sorry but isn't this an indictment on El Rufai and how he further divided Kaduna state.

Because this is from the current governor.
Especially that 4th image

Below is how someone described El-Rufai

Anybody who has more than a passing interest in the issue at stake must understand the fact that El-Rufai is not alone. He is leading a clan of fundamentalists for whom religion can only be seen from one prism, the Islamic prism. For this breed, every other thing spells infidelity. As a loose cannon, El-Rufai has to lead the charge. As the quintessence of foolhardiness, he will not mind rushing in where angels will fear to tread. That is why he went loose with his private convictions. He simply stepped forward to tell an idiotic tale on behalf of the mindless clan. Indeed, El-Rufai was just playing the divisive messenger. He is the harbinger of acrimony and bad blood.

Even though the current governor profited from the divisive politics Elrufai plays, it is still commendable he can own it with his full chest that things are not right in the state and he has plans to right the wrongs. Kudos to him for trying to mend the fences.

Jodera:
The reason why I use Kane is that he's the only person who can do what Jesus does (aside his excessive work rate sha) and still give you that 25goals.
Tbh, the only thing Jesus is missing is just clinicality. I've been vocal about this since last season. Else he's very perfect for our setup.

Almost everyone will say we need that 9 that will be in the box to score goals, we need that 9 that will not come to the middle and all that. But my question always is that, is that the kinda 9 Arteta wants for his system?

I know Arteta wants his team goals to be shared amongst all his attackers including wingers and Midfielders and not only the striker(s). And if you look at our team, you'll find out we're one of the top scoring sides in the league yet I doubt any of our players is in top 6 goalscorers this season.
In fact, there's a stat that says Arsenal is the 1st team in the history of EPL to have 14 (abi 11) different goalscorers consecutively. That's very impressive if you ask me

I'm not against us buying Osimhen or Toney for option B(I know we can never get Kane ) or even Watkins whom I believe will fit into our system.

My own issues is that Arteta, I believe, is setting this team up to creates good goalscoring chances and anybody such chances falls on should be able to convert it. That's why I get angry when arsenal miss chances upon chances.


Also, the issue about Arteta not progressing any youth so far is concerning. But I never really talk about that one yet.

I guess all players (most especially the midfielders and attackers) need to do more shooting practise in training going forward since the ideal Arteta team anybody can score. Odegaard missed chances upon chances in that villa match ehn....

I hope Timber comes back early o, Ben white has not been at his best of late sha

Fkforyou:
Exactly, and which begs the question of, what is the use of keeping a lot of Fringe players without using them when it matters and doing so adequately?

Come to think of it? non of our fringe player have played a complete match this season (correct me if am wrong).
My point is knowing when to have all your players fit is the difference between success and failure in EPL.
Honestly I will be so mad if we don't capitalize on Man Citys dwindling form this season, at lease lets give them a lot gap pending when they pick form towards the later stage of EPL.

I genuinely hope he gets this sort out because the season is still long..o

On a side note, bloated squad does not mean squad depth, players like Cedric to me are just occupying space, let them leave so that we can replace him with one of our academy player that will understudy Tomiyasu and Benny blanco, same can be applied will elneny.

I also don't fancy bloated squad, it usually leaves the coach with headache trying to give almost everybody a chance. That's why I believe a club like arsenal that uses 1 striker needs 2 senior striker and 1 academy player that gets regular feature in cup matches making it easier for him to step up when fatigue or injury requires.

I believe city is the biggest threat we have in this title race, but I won't rule loserpool out at all considering how their new signings have given their team a breath of fresh air. Maybe if players like Sobozlsai, Endo and Luis Diaz get injured or out on long suspension I will reason them less. We really need to watch for them as well.
