uuzba: Why is it that if I want to comment here, there his no Bot, checking my religious faith first before posting my comment? In fact I can write rubbish and it will stand. But if I go to "another" type of post like this, my phone will be hanging... I just said I should ask why this morning.
It depends on the attachment on the page. Some links are a bit heavy for NL interface

Kalulu44: Good morning NL. I want us to calm down and discuss this topic very well. Do fake and expired products such as drugs and foods really harm us? Let me start by laying some examples from my experiences. Firstly, I am not a drug/medicine/tablet taker or English medicine as most people call it. The only English medicine I take is blood tonic which was introduced to me some 10yrs ago by my late mum. Apart from that, I prefer herbal medicine "agbo" than Panadol, paracetamol and co which has really helped me never to visit any hospital for over 30yrs and counting. This blood tonic, sometimes I miss taking it for months and sometimes I take it steady for months. And with this I know how it works and improve my body when I do take it and how I emanciate if I don't take it.
Middle last year I was employed at a farm in a remote village in Ogun state. I couldn't find that blood tonic for over 2months, and luckily one day a guy started coming to the village on bike with pharmaceutical products and I asked for the blood tonic. He had it and when I asked for the price, he told me #1,600. I was shocked with the price cus I last bought in Lagos #2,500. I bought it and started using it. For the 6 months I spent in that village, I bought from him 4 times. And to be honest with you guys, the blood tonic works perfectly as it has been working for me over the years. But the unbeknown truth was that it was either fake or expired ones this guy is selling for me. . Fast forward to earlier this year I was transferred back to one of the city in Ogun state. I went to buy this same blood tonic, and was told it's now #3,500. I exclaimed to the chemist, that I just bought this same tonic for #1,600 some weeks ago, he told me that must have been fake or expired ones. I then told him but it works perfectly without any side effects. He couldn't say anything but "e dey be like that sometimes". That's scenario 1. Some years back in Oshogbo I was working in a drink, wine and beverage store.
The owner of the store gives us most of the drinks to drink when they're about to expire or has expired. There's a store where we keep drinks that has expired, and you can go take as much as you want. Though the owner always tells us to dispose of them if we don't want them.
We take as much as we can and dispose the ones we can. All thru my working there, not me nor any of my other colleagues complain of bad health, stomach pain or any other side effects pertaining to those expired products we used to take. That's scenario 2. Apart from this two scenarios, we or should I say I must have eating and drank so many things out there without knowing they're fake or has expired. And I still lived on strong and in good health. I was born and brought up in Lagos, I can confidently say 50% of majority of things we eat and drink in Lagos are either fake, expired or adurturated. Why bcus I know majority of places this fake and adurturated products are being produce. But with this fake products seemingly out there in millions, Lagosians still survive and go about their daily activities as if nothing is happening. God forbid bad thing, if truly those expired and fake products are truly bad for health, won't we be hearing and seeing thousands of death everyday? . Sometimes a product been cheaper than the original one doesn't mean it's fake, just that another company tries to produce another one affordable to the common man. My best cola drink is coca cola, but they're different and affordable cola drinks in the market for those that can't afford coca cola. So are other products out there which are inferior to the ones we thought it to be but affordable, does that make the inferior ones fake or not good for consumption? Some families can no longer afford beverages like Milo, Bournvita, Peak Milk and co. But they're many alternatives out there that are cheaper and at the end of the day you that used Milo drank tea, and they too drank tea. Tea na tea! My last thought, I am not in any way supporting fake and adurturated products, but with the prevailing economic hardship, I don't think we can do without them. As far as they're not causing harm to us. I made this post in respect to the thread of Nigeria customs seizing containers of fake goods worth over #6b. The irony of it is, yes they're fake according to the customs. But will they destroy it, I am very sure 90% they won't. They'll still recycle it and sell to their cronies and it will still flood the market. . So guys I wanna hear your take on this issue regarding fake and expired products to our health and economy at large.

• Structure: Both are common years (non-leap).
• Start Day: Both begin on a Thursday.
• Duration: Both have 365 days.
• Weekday Alignment: Because of this structure, all 12 months in 2026 match the calendar layout of 1914.

This war is a child's play compared to world war 1...the world now know better
Victory662: I recently bought a Toyota Corolla 2005 model, Nigerian used. Since then I've had this constant problem of hard starting. It's not very bad though, it picks after second or third kick, although in some cases it could be worse prompting my battery to run down.
I have explained the issue to about 4 mechanics, each of them telling me what they suspected could be the cause, I paid them and at the end of the day, nothing changed. I've spent over 300k on this very issue.
The only option I'm considering now is that of the latest mechanic that told me it could be fuel pump system pressure or electrical fault or both. I'm just afraid of spending money again because I'm already afraid it may not work. So NL family, have your car ever had this "spiritual hard starting" problem? And how did u get out of it?

Crayon went on a brief Twitter rant where he accused the label of stealing his star and delaying his money. The tweets quickly went viral before they were eventually deleted.
Below is a 3-minute breakdown explaining the entire incident from start to finish.
On tuesday 10th of this month, I woke and prepared for work as usual and because my workplace is on the island, i wake up as early as 5am and go to work. So on this sad tuesday, I got to the bus stop, a private car stopped and there were 4 guys inside (driver, passenger seat, 2 at the back seat) then i joined them to be 3 at the back seat and i was by the window side.
As the car moved on, suddenly the man in the middle just jump on me and the other guy held my hand, as i was struggling, i heard "we go shoot you oo", so i calm down. Then it dawn on me that i have entered one chance. They were slapped me several times and collected my phone, i gave them my opay password and phone password. They also took all the cash on me except for 200 naira that was deep deep in my pocket.
So they brought my phone to my face to do face verification as OPAY security requires and i did it. They also asked for my laptop and i told them that i am a security man ( ), i had 15600 in my opay. They also asked for my ATM, i told them i dont use an ATM (this is true).
Then they told me to close my eyes and they poured plenty rob on my eyes then push me out of the car. I struggled to open my eyes until one Aboki guy helped me water then i could be able see.
So i jejely use the 200 in my pocket and went home. I had to use my neighbour phone to call opay and gtb to block my account.
That same day, i went to retrieve my line at mtn office at ikoyi but now, i am so phoneless and the trauma is really taking a toll on me.
Also, i had to log in to my opay through my brothers phone and i realised that they did not take my money but instead borrow a loan of 140k. So in total, it was 156500 (16500 + 140000) then i went to check the transfer history to see that they borrowed a loan. So when i noticed this, i had to message easemoni customer service and explained to them, they were so helpful. I transferred the loan amount to their account and my loan was cleared.
This is a true life story and it definitely happened to me
Opay should be banned for making borrowing look that easy
runningriot: While I agree in what you said by saying not all that criticise Muslims are Christians I don't share the ideology that what Christians or other religion do Muslims must do it. Everybody with his own rituals and doctrines moreso, even in my Christian faith there are different denomination with different rituals and doctrines while the major theme is centralized on being a follower of Christ. Above all the literal definition of fasting is abstaining from food and other available desires in a particular time no specifications whatsoever about when and how to eat? Conclusively, 90% of Christians embarked on dry fasting for 18 hours and not even 24 hours meaning they embarked on 001.
The bolded is where your problem lies. The submission isn't from a religious pespective but from the common knowledge of three square meal
runningriot: Fasting simply means intentional and conscious abstaining from food and other available desires from a particular time so stop the emotional blackmail that they are not fasting. Moreso, must their religion rituals and doctrines be like ours are we practicing the same faith? Abeg... eventually, in Christianity we can say it is 001 then?
You missed the point There is no abstainig from food in eating twice a day. And this has nothing to do with comparison with any other religion. BTW, every critism of Muslim act does not always make the person a christian, it could be from an atheist or a traditionalist
