Death is inevitable but some causes of death are preventable especially in poor societies like ours where ignorance still rule the minds and mentality of many

Preventable or not, death is certain as much as ignorance abounds.
Ignorance has been killing since the begining of time, you
can't stop it now.
Even if they ban it, it won't stop pple to stop consuming it.
Anybody that wants to die, let him die.
Afterall, if you do anyhow, you go see anyhow.
"Dem no dey tell mad man say war don start"
Everybody's got a life to live, live and let live.

FG better not try to do what it can not finish. This is a locally refined gin from a natural product that has been taken by the locals hundred of years ago. It sever many purposes ranging from medicine to entertainment. The local medicine are made with ogogoro and not from any chemical compositions called alcohol. This from a very long time has done nothing wrong with the body system. The general public should note that Ogogoro does not kill. It is those bad chemical and drug mixture that kills. Original ogogoro does not do any harm to the body. Even the doctors advice people to take it. It is those fake ones that kill and do lot of damages to the body system.

Fake things is not here today. Ogogoro is not the only product out there which fake replica is in the market. Fake drugs like paracetamol and even bread is out there. I was in the market where I found an old mama identifying a fake red oil mere by tasting it. What would have happened to those thay do not know original oil from the fake one? Who keeps the record of those thay have died from taking fake food and drugs? How many thousands should we count of people thay have died by taking expired medicine? Does this make the government raise a ban on medicine and food?

Ogogoro have become a field of investment. It has produces millionaires and help the poor one sustain into the poor economy system. What would happen to there business? Are we going to push them back into zero job oppourtunity economy?

There are lot of houses in Ogun and lagos state where fake seaman and schnapp are been made. Lot of beers are made in the east which are fake and have claimed lot of lives. Government should wage war on these people producing fake food and drugs.

Government should encourage us to refine out own local wine and gin. We need to keep watering investment oppourtunity and not put ban just on anything.

In the case of getting drunk, foreign beer and gin too make people tumble into gutter. There is no justification for banning products like ogogoro and palm wine. It is natural product and do the body system lot of good than those chemical composed drugs which kill us steadily.

Ogogoro must stay

You got 100 plus likes for this stuff you wrote when its obvious you either didn't read what the Nafdac director said or you didn't understand.

1. He mentioned 'unregistered'... He clearly isn't against the local production of gin but they should be properly registered and regulated by the drug agency.

2. 'Illegally' brewed... Without proper sanitation and regulation, this thing will keep killing people.

The government has a primary responsibility of protecting its people and educating the ignorant. I will leave readers to figure out the rest.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.

GOOD MOVE

no problems, as long as they don't ban the foreign ones like 'chelsea dry gin' lolzzz...oh i forgot! FG should not even go close to banning Alomo or Orijin if not, na revolution go occur....hahahaha

If only FG will ban all alcoholic drinks, more lives, relationship and marriages will be save. Just my opinion though.

wine nt ogogoro

Mogidi:


Nigeria is a free country, why should Christians not be allowed to drink alcohol because it offends the sensibilities of Islam? Rubbish!!

You can ban alcohol in the North but do not meddle in our way of life over here.

Hello. Christians do not drink ogogoro or any other strong drink. If any 'christian' indulges in alcohol, he should check himself.

FOLYKAZE:


On what base pls?

Alcohol is medicinal. I hope you dont know some of the drugs you take at home contain Alcohol.

Government can ban ogogoro if only they can ban medicines conpletely too.

Also they should ban palm tree from producing palm wine.

ON THESE BASES
1. You'll put on weight. Alcohol is stuffed with calories: a pint of 4% beer or cider is about 215 calories; an alcopop is around 200; a single (25ml) of spirits is 60kcal; a large glass of 12% red or white wine (250ml) is 180kcal.
2. It can give you bad skin.
3. It can make you depressed.
4. You're more likely to have unprotected sex and contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI) when you're drunk.
5. You could fall off things or get run over.
6. If you've passed out from drink or drugs, it's easier for someone to rob, attack or sexually assault you.

My dear

Ogogoro has it benefit and darksides just like everyother thing that exist in our world today. Salt is sweet and add lot of value to souo but has a dark side of affecting heart or causing heart problem which you know of. Does this make governemt to put ban on salt? Do you know number of poeple thay have died of heart attack from the intake of salt?


Have you considered the cutural, economy and health significance too?

My dear, in politic talk, you dont follow what your pastor told you but what you reason out from the bible and any laid down law.

The bible support drinking of strong drinks and even taking of alcohol instead of water for early morning fitness.

Read ya bible pls

this is one foolish, extreme move, when there are so many other things long overdue for banning
This is traditional drink that has been existing before Nigeria even existed
Why didn't they ban tobacco which poses much more danger to lives of people?
It is better regulated than banning it totally.

Who told you that Christians drink alcohol. God is against it so don't say Christians should be allowed to drink alcohol.
A believer is different from a church goer.

otiigba1:
dont be a hypocrite, its okay for people to die from tanker accident but not okay to die of alchohol consumption? One would have thought that its most importantly about saving lives, so in your book some lives are more important than others... come on! MAN! am sure you can do better than this, i think coca cola should be banned too it kills more

Ok

FOLYKAZE:

Jesus took it. And apostle paul advised us to take it

Ahh you can lie where did they write that Jesus took it

The basic message about the ban on the local gin has more to do with the fact that it is not made according to standard procedure....which can lead to the production of gin filled with methanol....which can be very damaging to one's health and well being.

I suggest all ogogoro makers get together, work with chemists from Uniport...to get a standardized method of making ogogoro properly and legally.Which can then be submitted to NIS for approval. (They could for example do things like determine the % of alcohol in ''good'' ogogoro.).

And that's the way the cookie crumbles.

femiranking28:

Oga, so much I dont like bringing religion talk to politics, I think I will have to do otherwise here. I habe told folks like you to read not your pastor fantasy but the bible itself. Well you have refused so I will need to help here.

Here is a verse from the bible. You will need to employ your thinking faculty so that you can unserstand the message clearly.

Luke 7:34
New International Version
34. The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'

Note that the bible said that Jesus eat ans drinks around which make people calk him names like drunkard. Drinking in that verse implies that he took liquid substances ranging from wine to water or grape juice but the tag 'drunkard' indicate that Jesus took alcohol. Thoufh this could be a ploy to get closer to sinners like taxcollectors but the fact remains thay he did drinks alcohol and people know him a drunkard. Afterall you are called by what you do. Jesus being a drunkard means he took strong drinka and might go high like ologogoro.

I have done my job. Thanks

Ogogoro does not need help of chemist before it is made. All you need is to get palmwine, boil it and create a method of gathering the condenced vapour coming out of the heat

I see.

Still....somehow the process has to be standardized....so that people can drink safely.

I mentioned chemist (chemistry graduate) because that's where they may come in.

You mean we need to get it modernize? That is what the Government needs to do. We need regulations and not unnecessary ban

Outright banning and criminalizing of kain-kain (ogogoro) and all illicit breweries will be unenforceable. Registering them with the appropriate arms of government monitoring their products will be better. Banning will drive them further underground. Better to regulate by testing their finished products for safety.
Now some producers spikes their products with deadly additives like acids, drugs, etc to boost the potency of their products. Giving all manufacturers bad name. This also include popular brands fakers.

Good. So engaging.
