Some of Us

-

 Life has been different for everyone on earth, some were born with silver spoons, a few lost the spoon after birth, while some were born with wooden spoons, in all, we were all born.

Some went to the best schools in town, while some of us made due with the community schools in our trenches.

Few went outside the country after their first degree, to further their education, while some of us are looking for jobs complementing our first degree.

Some got jobs immediately after their NYSC, some were retained in their places of primary assignment with good pay and accommodation, while some of us are willing to take up even teaching jobs to make a living.

Some got married while we were in school, many others after their NYSC, some of us are fighting to get someone who can get up every morning thinking about us.

Some had kids after marriage and are mothers and fathers now, while some of us are still struggling to have someone to call us Mum or Dad.

That reminds me….

Some lost their lives while we were in primary school, a few others while in our secondary school, we lost our buddies in the university and friends to National service.

Oooh yay….

We are still alive, just that it seems God hasn`t answered our prayers yet and we are all shades of depressed and determined to make it by all means.

This is me reminding you of “THE SOME” that are better of you, and the some you are better of, and to let you know it is expedient to always thank


GOD for the some you have.

NAFDAC’s Brutality: A Cancer on the Toe Doesn’t Justify Amputating the whole Body

 ADEMOLA KIZITO  NAFDAC’s response to my critique is nothing but a desperate, poorly executed attempt at intimidation.  Instead of addressing the core issues, the agency resorted to name-calling, baseless accusations, and cheap emotional manipulation.  This is the typical playbook of a failed institution when confronted with truth, they cower behind propaganda and hired writers who spew personal attacks rather than facts. Let it be clear: this attempt to silence me will not work.  If NAFDAC wants a media war, I am more than ready. It's already making rounds that ₦2 million was demanded to reopen sealed shops, but I’ll set that aside for now. It will be an issue for another day  NAFDAC’s attempt at reverse psychology is laughable. They call me a “sponsored writer” while hiring two media consultants to spin their narrative.  If anyone is playing the propaganda game, it is them. Their desperation is evident. They cannot counter my facts, so they resort to...

CWC LAGOS: A HOPELESS REALITY

-

  The federal government's vision to establish a well-coordinated and regulated drug distribution system across Nigeria is one of the most vital reforms in our healthcare sector.  Designed to eliminate the chaos of open drug markets and improve public health outcomes, the Coordinated Wholesale Center (CWC) project was meant to bring order, safety, and accountability into the pharmaceutical supply chain. CWCs are designated hubs where pharmaceutical wholesalers can operate under strict regulation, ensuring the quality and safety of drugs sold to the Nigerian public.  In 2012, the federal government approved four pilot locations for the CWC project: Sabongari drug market in Kano, Idumota in Lagos, Headbridge in Onitsha, and Ariaria market in Aba. Today, Sabongari in Kano has successfully relocated and is operational. Onitsha and Aba have made significant progress. But Lagos, the commercial nerve center of Nigeria, has become the tragic exception. In Lagos, about 902 Idumota...

NAFDAC’s Crackdown: The Thin Line Between Fighting Fake Drugs and Destroying Legitimate Businesses

-

 ADEMOLA KIZITO  For weeks, Nigeria’s pharmaceutical industry has faced an unrelenting assault orchestrated by NAFDAC and the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN). Under the guise of sanitization, key drug markets, including Idumota, Onitsha, and Aba have been raided, shops locked, medicines confiscated, and an entire sector broadly labeled as criminal. The prevailing narrative suggests that all pharmaceutical traders are frauds, charlatans, and merchants of death. The distribution system is described as a disaster, accused of poisoning the nation, with regulatory authorities advocating for its complete overhaul. Lost in this aggressive enforcement, however, is the devastating impact on thousands of law-abiding business owners who have spent years ensuring Nigerians have access to life-saving medications. The crackdown has disregarded distinctions between legitimate traders and offenders, resulting in widespread economic casualties. Instead of targeting criminals, an entire in...
