| Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by OLABAMIJI99(op): 9:49am On Oct 24 |
In a society where laws are made to regulate the activities of the citizens to maintain laws and order, the citizens still break such laws, because human beings are the most difficult creatures you can control. A penalty was set against fake drugs merchandise, yet there are still thousands fake drugs and food producers across the country recently. So many Nigerians have died as a result of this, while many have developed one form of sickness or the other.. We all can remember the days of Late Prof Dora Akunyili , who dealt with fake drug producers and reduced them to nothing. The health sector was sanitised under her watch, and this nearly cost her life in 2003. Her fight against fake drugs won her so many awards both locally and internationally Dr Paul Orhii who succeeded Dora also played a significant role in maintaining Dora’s good legacy. Under Paul Orhii watch, he created a PIN number to confirm if the medication bought is actually original. Now what is Professor Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye doing since 2017 she was appointed ? What is her new policy or method she has adopted so far in curbing fake medication? The number of fake drug producers increased under her watch like never before. The problem is not fake drug dealers because criminals always exist in every society, the problem is the inability of Nafdac to create a good idea on how to track them, crush them, and send them to jail, not relying on old approach to fight fake drugs dealers. If criminals could re strategise on how to sell their fake products to the people, why can’t NAFDA adopt a new approach on how to identify such fake drug, and and also re strategise on how to apprehend those murderers as well ? Isn’t not the time for Nigerians to ask Professor Mojisola to go if she can’t do the needful?

This current nafdac boss is clown a total joke.. good that they are uncovering fake product factories nowadays but that was after a lot of pressure and damages done … I remember her laughing to a serious question because these people love the titles but not ready to handle the responsibilities that comes with it . Any nafdac boss should follow Dora akunyilis’ footstep because nobody has beaten her records … so prolific and we miss her Others wants the title , to be addressed your excellency, your honor, big boss , sir , ma , number 1 etc but zero accountability. challenge them of their shortcomings and you get punished for it . Just like tinubu that wants to be president but no sabi the work .. now everything don scatter .. just the title and dirty politics.. not the skills to perform and do the job in a good way never seen before. . Last last na incompetence because an angel no need announce or beg for a second chance , na people go say please don’t go . Anybody wey mess up their first tenor should be removed asap no time for blame games and excuses . |

deetin:I was so furious seeing her laughing at serious questions.. The Grandmother should retire. I don’t know what she’s still doing there at the age of 75. |

The job is not only for nafdac, it's for everyone. As you have put this up here, some people know those that are into this bad business but they won't report to nafdac. Nafdac needs informants and information to work with, they are not spirits. Many people know those that are into this but won't report them. The few that have been reported are what you see in the news. So instead of blaming nafdac while not blame those who intentionally want to make money out of peoples organs and health. Those who produce this bad food and drugs know themselves |

lordm:Yes, you made a valid point, protection of lives lies on our hands. But how did Dora meet fake drugs circulation at 68%, during her time, then the fake drugs reduced to 6% when she left ? How did she do it, did she rely on People for whistle blowing? Common, NAFDAC agents are not receiving salary for nothing. The country is so corrupt currently that people can do anything to raise money for survival. Even politicians diverting public money meant for our hospitals are also murderers like fake drug producers. The fact is that this woman is utterly incompetent, and has no clue on how to tackle this menace.. The system has been corrupted and compromised. NAFDAC is highly corrupt as we speak. They only burst and nail those that can’t meet up with their demands.. During Dora’s time, loads of containers were set ablaze everyday, so many top big men were arrested and jailed.. What changed now ? We only see the arrest of retailers who can’t boast of a billion naira in their accounts.. The fight start from the top rich fake drug producers, not from the bottom/ retailers in the markets and streets.. She has no idea of how the system works despite sitting there for 8 years.. Fake drug producers are adopting different approach to penetrate the market, while she’s sitting down there relying on old approach created by her predecessors to fight them, instead of working hard as well and be creating her own new method to apprehend those criminals. As a DG, you must be ahead of these criminals, not the other way around.. As it stands, these men are currently ahead of NAFDAC, and that’s very bad for our Nation. |

OLABAMIJI99:She is grossly incompetent. Nafdac needs a retired Gen. like Buba Marwa at its leadership. |

Fake and hard drugs manufacturers and distributors have grown bolder because their man is in charge now....this country needs saving seriously. |

She's trying her best. Her last raid was heavily politicized and tribalised by the likes of Peter obi and his people. When criminals are huge and they have someone like Peter obi and an entire ethnic nation behind them, you have to be very careful with your actions. So they won't kill her like they killed dora and her husband. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by OLABAMIJI99(op): 12:03pm On Oct 24 |
clothingonline:Stop the misinformation.. Dora died because she had cancer, while the husband was assassinated. |

The worst DG in history, she is just making content with her job, no arrest, no prosecution. Rip Lady Dora Akunyili |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by Klington: 12:05pm On Oct 24 |
Just like every other incompetent and clueless tinubu appointee, she's grossly lost in cluelessness about her job requirements. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by Hemanwel(m): 12:06pm On Oct 24 |
Na now I know say woman pass woman. This is the same role Dora Akunyili handled like a man and dismantled fake drug syndicates, even in her own region. The current NAFDAC DG should voice out the challenges she's experiencing in tackling fake drugs syndicates and nipping their activities in the bud. Is it short of staff? Is it threat to her life? Is it sabotage? Or, is it that she's just incapable? For God's sake, the number of people dying as a result of consuming fake products is alarming. NAFDAC needs to act now! |

OLABAMIJI99:why are you blaming only Nafdac? Customs has a bigger budget than Nafdac. The drugs mostly come through the ports |

These are the kind of incompetent characters that a certain evil region that doesn't want the progress of Nigeria keeps supporting to continue to ruin the country.just. |

Many of the commenters here may be deeply involved in the same illicit drug trade they are now condemning the NAFDAC boss for fighting. Tomorrow, these same people will be campaigning for a New Nigeria, yet they fail to acknowledge that some of the problems destroying our society begin right in their own backyards. We cannot demand a better Nigeria while protecting the very practices that undermine it, the change we desire must begin with us and before we condemn others, let us examine our own actions and the roles we play in the problems facing our country. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by Checkwell: 12:11pm On Oct 24 |
NAFDAC is very incompetent. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by Samuels90: 12:13pm On Oct 24 |
Saturnalia:We don’t need a Gen. We just need someone who is ready to work, and knows the job they have been assigned. She is not that person! Those custom guys at Apapa wharf need to be changed too. They are part of the problem. Everything goes! |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by tanigororo: 12:13pm On Oct 24 |
If they start raiding, it's the same masses that will be crying out. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by olaadenigeria(m): 12:14pm On Oct 24 |
She or the organization are working. Those stupid people calling for her resignation has relatives, friends, neighbors or even self is doing something evil and not calling the authority. If every family can be sensitized, every things will be OK. Criminals are not ghost, they are member of our family. Every family should call their self together |

If I kust commend we Nigerians for one thing is "knowing how to blame others for our actions" We are very good at this! |

I bet that many notorious "agbo" producers sell their concoction in front of NAFDAC headquarters and nothing has been done to stop them.. We seem to be very comfortable with selective outrage in this country.. Starting to look like acouple of South West online influencers have been paid handsomely to blame everything wrong in Nigeria on their favourite fall guys; the igbos. Last week, the brought in the Chinese while blaming all inflation on igbo traders. Folks seem to conveniently forget that their village agbo has been credited with being the number one cause for kidney failures in Nigeria.. Let's start there.. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by Samuels90: 12:19pm On Oct 24 |
ribbit:true those dealers were angry. She needs to go more. Part of Nafdac problem is from the customs. They are not doing a good job in Apapa. Too many contraband enters through that port! |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by froxydydx: 12:19pm On Oct 24 |
It was easy for late Dr. Dora because she knows her people |

OLABAMIJI99:Olabamiji99, you are the true son of your dad. God bless every good and right-thinking Yorubas out there. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by Racoon(m): 12:23pm On Oct 24 |
If not for Tinubu tribalism and nepotism, this senile brilliant but weak NAFDAC boss ought to have been relieved of her appointment. |
| Re: Fake Drugs: What Is DG Of NAFDAC Doing? by TheStoriesOfMan: 12:23pm On Oct 24 |
Saturnalia:As far as she's from your region, she's competent. ![]() |

tanigororo:The people who will be crying out are APC and it's compromised supporters. |
