Nigerians like complaining, moreover there is s simple solution to know and avoid fake palm oil.

Even simple test to detect fake Panadol or paracetamol dey.

The recent public outcry over reports of palm oil being adulterated with dyes has left many Nigerians asking a simple question: Who is responsible for the safety of food sold in our markets?

Palm oil is a staple in Nigerian kitchens, so concerns about substances being added to it naturally raise serious questions about consumer safety.

The controversy has also drawn attention to a recent clarification from NAFDAC.

According to NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the agency does not have direct and absolute regulatory oversight over unbranded palm oil, fufu and other traditionally packaged staple foods sold in open markets.

This does not mean NAFDAC has no role in food safety. The agency regulates processed and packaged food products through registration, inspection, laboratory testing, surveillance and enforcement.

The challenge comes with foods sold informally without labels, manufacturers’ details or other information that makes them easy to trace.

And that raises a bigger issue.

Who protects consumers in the open market?

NAFDAC says tackling unsafe and fake products requires collective responsibility, involving federal regulators, state and local authorities, producers, traders and consumers.

For consumers, however, the expectation remains straightforward: the food we buy should be safe.

The palm-oil controversy should therefore go beyond social-media claims and public panic. It should prompt proper testing, transparent communication and stronger monitoring of foods sold in our markets.

Consumers deserve to know what has actually been confirmed, what authorities are doing about it and where suspected adulterated products can be reported.

Food safety cannot end where formal packaging ends.

The question Nigerians are asking now is: how do we make sure the foods sold in our everyday markets receive the protection consumers deserve?

The only thing women appreciate these days is money. You can do all these things for ten years and one day, your wife will tell people that since she knew you, you've never bought her a pant. Abeg leave women matter for them, they never see the ones you did right, they only see your wrongs.

I hate the fact that everyone is coming at her with that”she is rude” “she has no respect” “GenZ bla bla bla”

In this part of the world we don’t know how to correct people without getting all aggressive with it especially with that kill and burn everything down mentality we have here.

I see nothing wrong in what she did because in most corporate environment they prefer you just address her by her first name and since she was corrected by TOE it is just to put her in place because if he never did nobody would have reacted.

She may be nervous
She may be scared
She may not be spontaneous with her thoughts at that point in time so people should let her be and face their lives.

Nice thread.

Investments in at least one residential property is key. Financial markets (stocks) and other assets also give very good ROIs for medium to long-term cash flows.

What is sustaining big billionaires like Okoya, Folawiya etc is not their investments in stocks. It is their investments in property.
But make sure the property is situated in a place where rent income is good. Your uncle is lucky because Surulere is a hot cake!
Just think about the rent income that Okoya is receiving from all his assets littered all over Lagos.

Remember, the investments in stocks can be lost if the company should fold up or get liquidated. But it can also give you higher returns if you are fortunate. High risk higher rewards.

But for peace of mind, properties in choice areas are the best.

Owning a house will always be a good investment, everyone should aspire to own at least one landed property

Lombrozo:
Good topic
I will choose to put my money on property as it gives rest of mind but doesn't yield much compare to business or stock.
