If you’re not careful while shopping on Aliexpress, you might end up ordering items from vendors with no Nigeria credibility. My advice always are: 1. Always buy from suppliers with good reviews, especially from fellow Nigerians. This helps you confirm the quality of the product and the reliability of the seller. 2. Also, double-check if the vendor ships to Nigeria to avoid delivery issues. 3. For an even easier shopping experience, visit https://yelomoon.com It’s the best platform to discover top-reviewed items from various online stores, saving you time and stress.

| Politics › Nigerians Recall Dora Akunyili’s Legacy As NAFDAC Under Fire by thekokofacts(op): 1:40pm On Aug 29, 2024 |
Nigerians are reflecting on the legacy of the late Prof. Dora Akunyili, former Director-General of NAFDAC, as the agency faces heavy criticism over the proliferation of fake drugs. The backlash intensified following an alarming increase in kidney failure cases across the country, which many believe is linked to the widespread circulation of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. On social media platform X, a user shared a photo of Akunyili, praising her dedication to ridding Nigeria of fake drugs during her tenure from 2001 to 2008. Under Dora’s leadership, NAFDAC made significant strides in combating the sale of counterfeit drugs and unsafe food, earning her widespread respect. The current criticism of NAFDAC was sparked by a revelation from popular video director TG Omori, who disclosed his struggle with kidney failure, attributing it to the consumption of fake drinks. His story has reignited calls for NAFDAC to take immediate action against the rising cases of fake drugs, alcoholic beverages, and other consumables. Many Nigerians are now urging the agency to either step up its efforts or face closure, as frustration with the current state of affairs grows.

New protests have erupted in Katsina State, Nigeria, with young people taking to the streets waving Russian flags.

The Federal Government has called for calm regarding the proposed nationwide protest, revealing measures to ease living conditions. According to Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, the government has created centres nationwide where Nigerians can buy a 50kg bag of rice for ₦40,000. During a Federal Executive Council meeting led by President Bola Tinubu, Idris stated that the initiative is part of efforts to address citizens' hardships. Idris said, “For example, at the last Council meeting, we announced that 20 trucks had been given to each state governor for onward distribution to those who actually needed them, to the poorest of the poor in society. “But the government did not stop. Rice is also being sold at about 50 per cent of its cost; a bag of rice is being sold as we speak. This rice has been taken to various centres across all the states of the federation and is being sold at N40,000. Centres have been created so that those who need this rice can go there and buy this rice at N40,000.” He argued that the nationwide protests are unnecessary as the government is already addressing the demands.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday, July 9, passed for a second reading a constitutional amendment bill aiming to reserve additional seats for women in the state and National Assembly. Sponsored by Deputy Speaker Hon. Benjamin Kalu, the bill had previously passed in the 9th House but failed to gain concurrence from both chambers, as required for constitutional amendments. While all speakers supported the bill’s second reading, some members cautioned against passing a law that could conflict with the Constitution’s principles. ———— My take: The House of Representatives' move to reserve additional legislative seats for women is a positive step towards gender equality. Maybe women's representation in the National and State Assemblies will empower them and enhance their contributions to governance. However, I hope they’ll be bold enough to stand the dominant men in the house. ————- Source: https://opdato.com/bill-to-secure-more-seats-for-women-in-parliament/ .
