Medially brainwashed, reality blindfolded!

Hmm... Psychological how?
What of the numerous substandard and fake colas, fruit juices, wines, package foods and all cus they're 50% out there in the market especially this Lagos I am. What psychological effects does it too holds.

Razzness:
I can't believe Iran have so much leverage over the entire world, and yet they didn't close the strait for 47 years that they have been unjustly sanctioned. Those guys no really like wahala. If it was US that had strait of Hormuz, the world would have to worship them to keep it open. Especially, with this current president.

TruthU87:
Imagine if China were the idiots, rather than America...

China aggresses against Iran, and Iran closes off the Strait of Hormuz to China.

Then imagine Xi Jinping going to social media to write:

"Hey America, maybe you guys can send some ships to open the Strait back up for us?"

Reverse that really puts things in to perspective.

CaseSensitive:
China's vessels move freely in the strait of hormuz. Why should China care? Couple of months ago, Trump threatened China with tariffs, then made a U-turn because he realised that China processes the rare earth minerals that the United States Military industrial complex depends on.

Trump - "I hold all the cards"
Xi Jinping - "The cards are made in China"

When rumour had it that he's dead and the one acting as him has six fingers, he simply show his fingers to prove them wrong unlike the one in Nigeria that refused to speak his dialect when rumoured that the one acting as him cannot speak the language

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.

YoungBlackRico:
Ah! This kid again

If you're still in school, better leave internet and focus more in class...especially English lectures. 🤦🏽‍♂️

SixSeven:
They have been working on cloning humans and they do not hide it. So even if he dies, how are we sure it's not Jubril from Jerusalem

SixSeven:
Yeah we can smell the coffee which he didn't even drink at all

Privatepart00:

So much noise over what has happened which can't be changed
Reality is dawning on many delusional people but oops they still argue blindly

He's gone forever probably, wasn't thinking they get to him as they did
The more Ai videos they create the more stupid they appear
Next will be another Ai video from 2024 showing him meeting some female soldiers oops

Another person added himself into same background he was in
NL mods quit allowing fake news here

frankson1:
This news is almost one week and it's just hitting nairaland today to press una mumu button.

It's actually true that the video showed him with 6 fingers.

He missed security meeting, no tweeting and no where to be found but all of a sudden, appeared in a coffee shop

Una too dull, abeg.

ibechris:
I have watched Peter Obi since he became governor till date, he has never called anyone names or make terrible political statement that could make anyone hates him...

That is why as a politician and those who support politicians...just watch what u say. It could haunt u tomorrow. E.g Bwala,Reno their pasts is really at odd with them.

I watched Elrufai swore that Obi can never win any place in Kaduna,his son equally abused Peter Obi then but today,who is in prison because of his utterances same Elrufai.

Support who u want to support and avoid making utterances like this.

fuckJones:
I will vote cubana chief priests against obi if he decides to contests for president

DenreleDave:
Yes ..they did. I don't know what got them there but I know it brought dt out only for transfer. Maybe they didn't Wana transfer to their personal account as it can be traced

DenreleDave:
They took the loan with me okay. But they could not transfer it coz of face verification for opay.

I only lost my phone and cash with me

dahmie2013:
Your testimony makes me realise,God has indeed been faithful to me. I used to enter private vehicles when I used to work at the Island. I never had this experience.

Legitbeauru:
Hmmm! I can imagine the pain. Thank God for your life. Lagos is filled with so many criminals. I ensure I don’t get pushed for any reason to the extent of not having the time to do my due diligence. And for private cars in Lagos, I see this happening a lot ladies when returning home from work jump in private cars as if they know the driver.

Perhaps what gives them the confidence is because it’s afternoon thinking nobody could harm them at a broad day light.
I know that God factor is involved in everything we do , but one needs to calculate and act based on one’s environment.
Why would anyone even think of entering a private car in a place like Lagos, even Abeokuta.

A place like Ife Osun State, you can do that but not in environments filled with all manners of hoodlums.

Then in a place like Lagos , once you step out , you don’t have any friend. If anyone tries to help you use your sense and if something feels oddly and doesn’t seat well with you , take firm decision and stay selfish. Even in Korope, I stop and alight if I feel uncomfortable. I simply tell the driver I left one important item at home.

DenreleDave:
Sorry I had 15600 and they borrowed 140k...but I didn't lose any cox they could not transfer it

Topman7:
You are so deluded.

Taking rubbish.

valentineuwakwe:
T

They can't transfer the loan amount without face verification n his face is required

CodeTemplar:
Lol. High BP for Slammers.

Tenses:
They couldn't access it probably.

Excelpeace:
You are lucky that the took a loan and still leave all the money in your account intact,it can only be God.Your lost phone shall be replace as you keep trusting and thanking God

meobizy:
My friend told me his own experience. It was a bus full of men. I may type the experience later when I have time.

Avoiding vehicles with only men is not a full guarantee. The Nigerian who was killed in South Africa, the passengers consisted of two men and a woman. Her presence didn’t make taking his life any more challenging.

Difrent:
One of the Reasons why Europe has an aging population and low birth rates was world war one and two which wiped away most of it's young people that could have sustained its population, other factors include the Spanish flu that also killed millions.
