is Nigeria turning into a waste bin?


Nigeria has turned a waste bin for manufacturers


Electric Gadgets

It has become a norm in Nigeria to either use fake products or forget about using the products at all. Nigeria is a country that is highly populated and also has youths that are very desperate to be successful. Nigeria is also a country where everything sales, I repeat EVERYTHING SALES. No matter the services you are offering, once you want to sell it, Nigerians will buy.

For this reason, many individual and collective bodies ( service producers) tend to see Nigeria as a place to reap fortune, they see Nigeria as the just what they need to make their money. They now see it that all they need to make their wealth is just a service/product to render to the helpless citizens of Nigeria.

Now, this is where the main thing comes to light, when they are making their products, what they have in mind is not how well it will serve their clients, not the disadvantages and harms it tends to cause, nor the damage it potentially carries, but how much profit they will make, how fast they will sell and how much less they will invest.

They totally forget that it should be the other way round. Now, averting this sort of manufacturers is not viable, then how can we stop being victims of fake products? These are the ways;

  1. The Products Been hemmed in by the responsible governmental bodies
  2. Avoiding the products when seen
Talking about the products been hemmed in by the responsible bodies, we understand that Nigeria has 


SON (Standard Organisation of Nigeria) responsible for the products that operate in Nigeria, and if the product pass their tests, they give it the NIS Mark (Nigeria Mark of Quality) as it is written in some products labels. But I have to say that their minimum requirements are very low, giving the quality of products that operates in Nigeria. Talking of electrical gadgets, this is one of the major areas to be giving high attention, giving that 80% houses burnt, were caused by electricity. Nigeria has many cables that cannot even withstand a high current flow through them, when this current happens to flow; it gets burnt, whereby leading loss of properties and even life. Nigeria must stop this.

Then Nigeria has also NAFDAC (National Agency For Food and Drug Administration and Control) they carry the responsibility of ensuring hygienic, safe food and drugs. But have they really been worth applauding for? There are many beverages and snacks; that when a look is given to their table of content and nutritional information table, they contents you see there will stun you. But nevertheless, they still sell. There are many sachet water and even bottled water that when you can see the chemicals used for purification and preservation you will not believe that they are still allowed to sell. Nigeria must stop this.

Fake Drugs
Confiscated Drugs
On the citizens avoiding the products when seen, is our own responsibility, that when the bodies charged with the responsibilities cannot carry them out, should exempt ourselves from patronizing this producers, it will serve us much good. 

Fake products has indeed brought about property loss, life loss, ill-health and above all, making our beloved country Nigeria a country without standards. I hereby charge us to cause a positive change.
