The Dora Akuyili that tried to overhaul the system, enforce checks and went after those importing fake drugs what happened to her ? even her husband was not spared in the East .. why ??

Someone provide chalk as alternative to paracetamol, becos people can't afford the genuine drug how is that even a solution. system or no system why should someone even be that wicked all becos you want to make money. We need to tell ourselves bittee truth that will help more

Yes i can buy and that as got nothing do with my status, ... one main distraction consumers have in common is "OPTIONS"
IF i know the whole spark plug in ladipo cost $6 without any cheap one anywhere, i will either buy or wait till i can afford it

Importers are main problem , they want to make quick money instantly and overtime, that cheap plug you bought for #800 will probably last one month on daily use but the original spark plug can last as long as 8month, on the long run most Nigeria consumers are penny wise pound foolish.
On the long run it cost more to settle for fake/inferior items, it more profitable for a seller when a consumer buys fake and come back for replacement often than those that wil buy original and won't show up in the market for long

You are the one being unreasonable, "unfair Competition" is what drove glaxosmith out of Nigeria which corroborates your link if analyse properly
India and china are mainly the sources importers get pharmaceutical products, unfortunately these same sources are where Fake drugs are ordered from, Moreover the quantity of imported fake drugs ordered from indian and china outweighs the genuine drugs imported .. Reno is very much in line

Prices of fake or inferior drugs are relatively cheap and thats what makes the "Competition unfair" for brands that can't compromsie standard,
imitation and adulteration is another factor that makes the competition unfair, original product are adulterated and sold in place of the authentic product, people think they are buying glaxo drug but the money is going to one selfish criminal mixing chalk.

Local manufacturers are not much of a threat to a brand like glaxosmith, compared to the damage effect adulteration & importation of fake drugs effect had on them.

Lol you don talk according to your understanding of things

When introducing products into a market
The number one priority for Companies is the purchasing power of the consumers



Due to bad Economic policies from APC since they took over Government in 2015

Purchasing power of Nigerians have gone to the barest low

That's why many middle class are relocating overseas to where the Economies are better managed


Because of low purchasing power

Many multinationals can't compete in the market

Because people will go to cheaper products the one there money can afford

That's the practice all over the world

China is the second biggest Economy in the world because they produce cheaper products

That's there advantage over the West countries

Take US for example, many American companies lost competitively many Chinese manufacturers

So most US based Companies outsource there manufacturing to China to compete


Apple iPhone for example is manufactured in China by Chinese based company Foxcon

Apple can't do that in the US to have a good competitive price for there products


So your analogy of what you stated has no business Sense

Business are not run that way

Price competition is number one factor in sales and profit of a business and it's product

Even Apple the biggest Company globally by market capitalization uses same strategy for there products

djon78:



You are not getting it

If government doesn't do it's work

The bad guys will roam the whole place

If you don't fight evil standstill
Evil will take preminence

Look at the US for example

Law enforcement agencies like drug nacrotics, DEA, FBI, etc work day and night to fight drug proliferation and snuggle in the US

But still streets of the US are flooded daily with drugs despite all the work they do

They don't allow the bad guys to gain advantage
So they fight them to standstill


Look at nafdac
Only late Prof Dora Akunyili fought fake drugs to standstill

Since she left the place
That agency has not been doing anything

nedekid:

The competition is generic, good quality products, go read the newspaper post again. This time slowly.

Adaisback:
Under this Tinubu administration, people will beg for those fake drugs but even the price will be too high for them. Continue to troll people bigger than you , your ancestors and your generation forever and ever.

People are suffering and dying in large numbers under this Tinubu era but you dare not utter a word against this evil govt. As I dey see you so , your death is near and na fake drugs go kill you Wendel simlin onye ara!

If you ever set out to make a proper analyse, don't look from one angle instead you view from broad spectrum and factor in reality.

From a broad spectrum purchasing power is just one out of many considerations a producer or manufacturer have on her list however not all product bows to economic or purchasing power.

Nigeria didnt begin in 2015, idris abdulkareem sang Nigeria jaga jaga before most Peter Obi supporters know there left from right, roger that

China produces base on Spec and order, what you order qualitywise is what they give you and that is what gave rise to market infiltrations, Nigeria Market is hijacked by IMporters/Middlemen they run like an organised cartel to dominate the market and Manipulate "Prices".

Its debateable, but the truth is Apple is not in any competition considering the usage and loyalty in US .. however most iphones are assembled in china becos of professionalism & cheap labour, regardless Iphones are more expensive than Samsung or Redmi in US.

Not all cheap product are fake but all fake products are cheap,

Now lets not Forget the thread is about Fake and couterfeit products .. should will be talking of Price. uche chemist will sell chalk for you the same price as genuine M&B paracetamol that is the wickedness we are talking about

Are you on glasses or why do see things from myopic lens, the truth is govt can't change people that are not even ready to change, Govt can't do it alone, we must make collective effort.
The reason why IPOB thrive in south east is becos people there cover them up, miltants thrive in SS becos the locals provide cover .... but bring miltant and Ipob to South west and see if they will last One month

Narcos thrive in US becos americans are the biggest consumers all time, despite the effort FBI, DEA and Govt drug trafficking rises in america becos the citizens are accomplices ... its like trying to seperate garri mixed with sand.


The crime people/locals don't condone can't last, if boko haram relocate to Nnewi they won't last two weeks think

Apple are more expensive Samsung and redmi because they used product differentiation strategy in there marketing tools

Whereby they differentiated there products using quality still putting a premium price on them

That's have been Steve Jobs way with Apple products even before his demise

They differentiated everything from there charger to software to even sharing Data

While Samsung, Redmi and most other phones use same software Android, same mode of transfer etc

Coming to drug quality

Price is a very big determinant in purchasing drugs

There are drugs cheaper that even doctors prescribe to patients of which many multinationals drug manufacturers own brand are more expensive

This one are drugs prescribed by doctors and consultants

So the Consumers go for the cheaper ones according to there pocket

For an Economy like Nigeria
Price is very important to the sales of products
So people go for cheaper alternatives

That's how Nigeria works

Example car purchase

Nigerians can't afford brand new cars so go for second hand

While Americans go for brand new cars
The US used to have highest market share in brand new car sales

I remember when I was in business school they had highest market share
China later passed them for a year or two for highest market share sales of brand new cars

Just checked Data

US had sales of 11.3 million light vehicles in 2022
China had sales of 23.6 million vehicles both light, SUV and truck

While 65million brand new vehicles were manufactured globally in 2022

Car brands

Toyota had highest 11% market share of car sales globally
Volkswagen came second with 6% market share of sales globally

You are the one seeing things from myopic lens

And I believe your type of mindset is why Africa is underdeveloped

Where there is no rule of law and lawlessness
The society is totally messed up


Take Western countries
They don't play with the rule of law
Nobody is above the law in there society
So everyone behaves well


Take driving for example
If Nigerians drive the way they do here say in the UK or US
They will be fined and even go to jail

Likewise like battery or abuse
If you fight someone or odinary slap someone in the UK or US
You are going to jail


Rule and Respect of law discourages crime

If the government doesn't do it's work
The criminals will take over

That's how it's done in working societies
And that's one major reason Nigeria is underdeveloped and backward

Because everyone does whatever they want to do without fear of the law

Reno Omokri trying so hard to get an appointment from Tinubu. He forgot that the insults he hurled at Tinubu has outweighed his attacks on Igbo people hence has disqualified him from any appointments.
He should keep trying harder

What is the cost of producing fake ventolin inhaler and the cost of original. The only drug that you can fake in Nigeria is capsule and most drugs are no longer in open capsule

johnjose68:


I don't think you are serious at all

We are talking about your tribe selling FAKE drugs...you are talking about cheap drug even using apple and Samsung to justify your tribe quest to destroy Nigerians life.

You are pathetic 👿

reddingtonblack:




Oops its now product differentiation, you are just leaking all over the place

Iphones are more expensive than other brands becos Apple made no compromise on quality or models. Apple has its own class and as a consumer you either fit in or crop out.

blackberry and nokia had a unique OS, which is also product differentiation but how did it pan out, certainly there is more to it

When it comes to Drugs "Doctor prescription is the major determinant NOT purchasing power" when my late father was in ICU there are drugs that come from one brand, its only when options exit purchasing power can work.
A patient will buy what doctor prescribes you can only ration it on scale of preference not the cheapest ones as you put it.

Need i remind you china has a bigger population than US, bigger population denote bigger market, its shouldnt come as a shock if china records more sales.
China have wide ranges of cars they produce locally and there are levies and policies to discourage foreign taste, moreover vast population of china are commited & loyal to local brands.

mind you toyota is a japanese car

reddingtonblack:



i swear i don't wear glasses, however what you know is micro to what you don't know

Laws are sancrosanct to curb crimes but what you need to understand is that laws are mere written words that greatly depend on human efforts ... laws won't enforce itself, it needs enforce agents and law enforce agents rely on information & intel that can only come from the people.

Which is why i said, it takes collective effort from the Govt, to law officers to citizens to judiciary to curb crime.

I ask again, IF boko haram relocate to Anambra how long will there operation last and why
