The irony is that their products has hits the roof instead of it spiralling down due to their closing shop .
Augmentin 625 goes as high as 15k from 3800 about this time last year .
Ampiclox beecham is now 7k a card from 6h last year.
Panadol variants has gone same way .
This is ridiculous.

It’s not because they can’t produce at low cost. It’s because GSK doesn’t bri.be.l and there Asian companies do without blinking eyes.

It’s one the reasons P&G left Nigeria.

I worked with GSK for over 10 years as a senior manager and I know the system like the back of my hands.

With the level of Naira falling, the products would be too costly for Iberians to buy because GSK builds one of the best pharmacies products in the world.
We shouldnt forget that the company has billions stock in Nigerian banks which it hasn’t been able to repatriate, for years, due to our CBN policy.

I was sad when I was briefed that there would be an all hands meeting yesterday because I already knew that would be the outcome of the meeting.

I really miss my company.

SmartyPants:
Not may bro - Abuja is definitely much better. It's a great place to live if you have a bit of money.

Who spoilt Lagos?

I am a Nigerian/American, I based here in the US, I visits Nigeria two to three times a year. What the article describes is 100 % accurate in my opinion.
The only missing part is that, the person did not mention how most people smell sweaty. They Don’t use deodorants . I hope they teach that in Nigeria schools as part of a curriculum,It is that bad. Order for room service in hotels , the room smells will change as soon as the waiters enters your room. Some smell so bad, even air freshener can’t mask the smell. Bath three times a day, don’t not matter, if you don’t use deodorant , you are going to smell.

They will still go again. Stowaway don't stop, it's adventure for them.

Stevedison:
Stop rubbishing Nigeria. Those guys are not Nigerians. Do they speak like Nigerians?

Take a listen to the story and you will know that there is no trybe in Nigeria with such accent.

It’s real , I read it on yahoo new yesterday. 2 of them was interview.

ramalot:
I saw this story a few days. Yes, the story is true. You can look it up on reputable news sources, like Reuters.

There seems to be a lot of ignorance here about Brazil. Brazil is not the US, but it's not remotely Nigeria either.

I'm a US citizen, and currently spending 6 weeks in Brazil. I also spent about a year in Brazil, in 2020, as the pandemic hit. At the time, overstaying was permitted, because of the pandemic.

The development level of major Brazilian cities aren't nearly in the same league as Nigeria or any African country, except South Africa. A simple Google image search of Brazilian cities should offer you an idea.

Of course, there are many crappy neighborhoods and favelas, with high poverty and crime. In the same way, I can show you a bunch of slummy neighborhoods in the US with high crime.
The Brazilian economy has had major growth over the last 20 years, even though it has slowed down slightly.

Also, Brazil has a very strong passport. It gives you visa-free access to nearly 170 countries. For comparison, Nigeria's passport gets you to about 55 (mostly African countries).

For anyone who hasn't been to Brazil for at least a few weeks, you probably have a warped view of what it is like. So instead of making assumptions, it's better to look up some vital stats and info.

Here are two pics I took in Brazil (just to add a little imagery to the thread).
The one from the mountain top was in Rio de Janeiro. The other was from my balcony, in Sao Paulo.

I thought it was fake news but I just saw the report on BBC it appears to be true.

I was truly the mother of all crazzy risks to take.

Purvan:
Hehe

That happen when you race mix

Nigeria could've been like Brazil if dem British folks decided to bleep nigerian babes.

optimusprime2:
To be Honest those guys have what they call Hardcore Grit in tons!

Normal people would have suffered a mental collapse because of the 14day exposure to the ocean under a ship without food or proper water...

I admire their strength!

Germanjoe:
Blessed be GOD MOST HIGH who deliver them.

soccerlite:
They risked it all

Reference:
They are lucky that the weather was good. In serious storms they will not stand a chance on that rudder. The forces will simply tear them apart.

tensazangetsu20:
Have you travelled or lived in Brazil. I have travelled to over 14 African countries and lived there and I am telling you that Brazil is heaven on earth compared to any African country and you are saying I am capping. You guys don't know how backward Africa is.

BoldBrainz:
See these Yoruba people o !

After foolishly voting for Tinubu and standing on his retarded mandate, you're stowing away in ships to escape the effects of the governance of the same thieving charlatan you stubbornly voted for cause of tribe and religion.

They should deport the bastard back to Ibadan let him join the army and eat Tinubu's maize!

tojahh:
Chai


This reminds me of my trip to Palermo via Tripoli (Libya). Mehn don suffer sha.

Leo588:
You know nothing. That was a cheap psychology of the mind she used. The north will never give a poor man power

SmartyPants:
I've travelled all over Nigeria minus the far north but at least I've reached Gombe and Jos. Let's be frank.

Abuja is in a class of its own. By far the best West African city. I would even go further and say Abuja is the best West, East and Central African city.

Then there is Lagos which is a great i some ways and bad in others. It is important to note that many of the things this guy has wrongly identified as markers of poverty are actually just Nigerian behavioural traits. Haggling for tiny sums, pissing in public and so on have nothing to do with poverty.

Ibadan, Enugu, and all other southern capitals minus Yenagoa are more or less in the same bracket but Ibadan is still the first here because it is much bigger than the rest and more cosmopolitan.

oke48:
Someone died due to negligence of the chief medical officer and all you say his someone relevance. Are you this daft or what? Even if you don't have sense normally, has it gotten to this? No value for human life at all.

MrSly:
You guys did not even get the real game. Who exactly brought up the old tweet? How come Tinubu got to consider the man in his appointment in the first place? The likes of Wike, Akpabio, Elrufai are they the best hands for the job. Why Moslem Moslem ticket, is it that they are the best combination available in Nigeria? Of course you know the answer
Tinubu is a master planner, I give it to him but he is very corrupt. He definitely rewards only his cronies but a clever man who is battling eligibility will want to gain acceptance by any means possible. You can digest this piece of information.

MyMouth:
There are some agency DGs that are more powerful and lucrative than ministers. Eg. NPA, NIMASA, NSITF, TETfund, NNPC, NCC etc.
He will still get something very important.

saintkeppy:
Festus Keyamo is not complaining, Take it easy, more juicy appointments in Federal Agencies still available, he will function there effectively.
