Lexusgs430: NAFDAC approval does not necessarily mean a formulation does what us claims. NADDAC approval (just as FDA) only certifies that the product is fit for consumption or use. It doesn’t certify efficacy. So yes! Uncle Fufeyin’s formulation may have NAFDAC seal. But it’s for non-toxicity, not for efficacy. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Reacting to a situation or person that threatens my existence is rational. Also, the absence of emotions is also a display of some sort of emotion. BeckyB1: 1 Like |

ReesheesuKnack: If he got a pure water factory, and receives a nafdac seal for that..... But now uses the same pure water factory seal for miracle water production ..... That's simply an illegal change of purpose (I would expect nafdac to sue Jeremiah, and cancel their registration)........ Jeremiah don buy market.......

Lexusgs430: You got it slightly wrong. If he gets Pure water factory seal. And he produces pure water as per standards Then no NAFDAC rule has been broken. If he claims that the pure water he produces from his NAFDAC-certified factory has some miraculous powers, it is not a NAFDAC problem. It only becomes a NAFDAC issue if he claims he adds other ingredients in the water to make it miracle water. I hope this helps. But if you need further clarification, happy to explain. 3 Likes |

Please why are used cars on different Facebook groups cheaper than the ones on the likes of auto trader and the models on the Facebook groups are even more recent? Is it safe to buy from such Facebook groups? How can I avoid/detect scammers? 1 Like |

NezzyMike: Even the one next door to you, 99.9% of those Facebook market cars are from scammers, try and contact one of them and see. Run if they ask for deposit or promise to deliver it to you if you pay for fuel or some mileage. If you must go to view it make sure you go with someone who can also drive and run a check using the registration number before going to view it. You can also do google reverse image search just to know if that car picture was taken from a different location. |

justwise: As many people have said, it's because they are scams. Buy from a dealer unless you know how to inspect cars very well or can go with someone who does. Private sales are dicey. When it goes well, it goes very well and you'll get a good deal but when it goes badly you can end up with a lemon and no legal recourse. Use auto trader to benchmark prices so you know you're getting a good deal, and make sure you get a warranty from the dealer as well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gerrard59: I'm sorry for late reply. I apologies you. About the key thing, that's what Japanese people want or thik like that naturally. I maybe can say that most of Japanese people want government to protect Japanese people in every way, not only about economic interest. Sadly, people don't feel government is doing their work very well. And if Japanese people said about it, some non Japanese people said it's discrimination. Many Japanese people are already angry, disappointed, annoying, frustrating etc, about government and non Japanese people matters. It's not started now. Please don't misunderstand Japanese people. Most of Japanese people are welcome to non Japanese people who have good manners and good morals like respecting our country, people, culture, rules, law etc. But against non Japanese people who are disrespecting our country, people, culture, rules, law etc. About Sri Lanka, their government (Ministry of Labour and Foreign Employment of Sri Lanka) encourages? promote? Sri Lankan people to working in Japan. Sorry, I don't know which one is right English. And Japan is involved in debt restructuring Sri Lanka. I have read about one company sign to memorandum of understanding with Ministry of Labour and Foreign Employment of Sri Lanka. |

deept: The Low wages narrative is what will continue to make immigrants as objects of attack even with the increase in the salary threshold for skilled workers and the planned increase again in the construction and IT sectors will this narrative go away? I thought there is a minimum wage that applies to all occupations. Even in a country like the US where wages are much higher it’s still the same narrative politicians used for campaign purposes. So you see this low wages shit it’s all propaganda, simple. 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Treadway: 8:52am On Aug 11 |
deept:correct. Same as the whole point of the concept of illegals taking 'black jobs' comment. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Treadway: 9:12am On Aug 11 |
Goke7:I like painting scenarios. If you were a black American, who hasn't had to convert dollar to naira mentally for years, do you believe you would be happy to take lower than minimum wage under the table jobs for example? Cos those are the jobs that Nigerians wey japa with visitor visa, or those from Mexico wey cross the border typically dey do. I think the average black American even when shit poor, thinks he is likely better off financially than the black immigrant, cos he hasn't lived his entire life converting dollar to naira for example. All he knows is the concept of what the dollar can buy and the concept of a comfortable life based on what he can do with the dollar. The black immigrant due to his knowledge and experience from the other side, knows damn well that at all at all na im bad pass. So just like I waited a year after NYSC and didn't take the 50k jobs, the 70k jobs and preferred to sit my ass at home till the one that I felt I would enjoy better and would pay what I desired came along, cos while my folks were not rich, we sha dey ok, but someone from Niger or Benin Republic with the exact same qualifications as me would happily take those jobs if the opportunity presents itself. Same with artisans, in the very recent past before balablu killed naija patapata, Togolese and Benin Republic guys would happily collect less than half of what naija artisans will charge and do an even better job cos their realities/outlook on the pay differs from our own. Just my opinion, can't support this one with hard facts 4 Likes |

Treadway: So who’s actually responsible for all these? Immigrants, govt, private sector or who? Why have all the successive governments from all the political parties not addressed this? Don’t you think it’s high time the govt come clean to their citizens on the true affordability of wages? how much do people earn in the uk civil service? So does it mean the govt itself is undercutting their own people? So why do they lie to the people that immigrants accept low wages when the government itself offer low wages. Can you see there’s no transparency in all these yet immigrants will continue to be the object of attack and propaganda. How much salary does the nhs itself offer. Are junior doctors and nurses not agitating for salary increases? Does that have anything to do with low wages accepted by immigrants? I hope you know these jobs can’t be done using visitors visas so the under table jobs don’t even apply. How much do teachers earn both in the uk and US, The govt itself should show example and pay more living wages so its citizens who automatically have the right to work documentation can access it instead of going after immigrants that can easily be stopped at the border by the same govt. 4 Likes |

ehizario2012: Bro, I felt the same way and I think it was a legitimate feeling. As you said big kudos to the government and the reasonable and compassionate people who came out to give those thugs a run for their money. There were rumours of Anti migrants protest in my area on Wednesday. Many of us were too terrified to go outside. But guess what, there was a swift peaceful counter protest against them, and that was the game changer that restored the community to its usual bubbling and peaceful one. Yea, huge thanks to those who aren't too British to confront those people and proving to them they're in the minority. 3 Likes |

deept: The sectors with the largest shortages (or that are still on the occupation shortage list) indicates the areas where native Brits are not willing to work. And these are usually the sectors with very low/minimum wage combined with perceived / actual very hard graft - when compared with other sectors that pay more (or will pay more in the future e.g. junior doctor to consultant is a massive pay leap) and/or are not so arduous. These acute shortages have more recently been seen in health and social care hence the care visa route was opened. Immigrants from South Asia and Africa are now filling these roles because it is easier to get sponsorship which is the aim for most and they don't have the option of benefits if they don't work. There was a similar acute shortage with HGV drivers when Brexit hit , but wages increased significantly and boom, no more shortages because it became a more attractive venture for many Brits. Labour have just legislated in the King's Speech for a new Fair Pay Agreement to boost staff wages, benefits and rights in social care across England. The aim is to ease the sector’s recruitment and retention issues and is part of their agenda to boost the domestic workforce, something the Tories did not prioritise. https://www.unison.org.uk/news/press-release/2024/07/kings-speech-sets-out-plans-to-start-mending-broken-public-services/ So it'll be interesting to see if/what impact this new pay agreement has when it is rolled out. Also after the junior doctors recently received a 22% pay increase, other sectors such as teachers have started to agitate for more. So it'll also be interesting to see how Labour addresses the issue of pay in the wider public sector. |
