Tinubu’s leadership is widely seen as falling short, and more Nigerians are making it clear they have no interest in voting for him for a second term.

God! This country is so useless. The worst in the world. Even the most useless countries of the world protect their babies. These fickin country cannot get anything right!!! Wtf!!!
gst@wearegst

Say no more. Nigerian babies are fed sugar-packed Cerelac while European babies get the same brand with zero added sugar. The same culprit? Nestlé. Ultimately, NAFDAC is to be held responsible. Their mandate is to protect the health of Nigerians and they are failing at it.

If your area is known for being safe during elections, tell your friends to put your polling unit as theirs. So yall can go together. A lot of people are scared, we have to make this easy to do no matter what.

I hold a degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, so let me explain this in language everyone can understand. This might be long, but bear with me. Milk is a specific biological product, and what makes it nutritionally “milk” is the package: milk protein, lactose, milk fat, the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K that travel inside that fat, and calcium and phosphorus in a ratio the body absorbs well. Take any of those out, and you have changed the food, and that makes it “altered” or “biochemistry.” See? It's no longer biological. So what @wearegst is saying is: Fat-Filled Milk Powder removes the milk fat and replaces it with vegetable fat — almost always palm oil (strained or bleached palm oil) in the Nigerian market. The protein is retained, although most of its value is lost due to preprocessing. So most of the time, palm oil stands in for milk fat. Cheaper, longer shelf life, looks the same in the tin. Nutritionally, it is not the same product, and the differences are not academic. Once you strip the milk fat, you strip the vitamins A, D, E, and K. And unless the manufacturer fortifies back to milk levels, and many do not, or do so inconsistently, you have removed the nutrients that justify giving milk to a child in the first place. You see how the semantics of using “Filled Milk” are actually dangerous? Because it’s technically “stripped milk.” Vitamin A deficiency is already a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness in Nigeria. A mother feeding her toddler “milk” twice a day, believing she is protecting the child’s eyes, bones, and immune system, may be feeding a sweetened palm oil suspension mixed with milk protein. So let’s talk about palm oil. It's roughly 50% saturated fat, dominated by palmitic acid, which raises LDL cholesterol. Milk fat is also saturated, but its fatty acid profile differs, and it's better because it contains short- and medium-chain fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid, and fat-globule membrane structures that matter for infant gut and brain development. The problem, @0xkitng, is that Nigeria carries one of the fastest-growing cardiovascular disease burdens in sub-Saharan Africa. We are quietly feeding the epidemic with a tin that features a cow. For infants and small children, the stakes are highest because the WHO and Codex Alimentarius are explicit that filled milk products should not be marketed in ways that suggest equivalence to milk for young child feeding. In Nigeria, through the help of the language @NafdacAgency uses, that line is crossed everyday. And on top of the nutrition cost is the deception cost—we are technically paying for whole milk and getting a formulated, cheaper milk-lookalike. When you said NAFDAC defines milk “by content, not by label” because I read your entire thread, your argument was technically supporting what @wearegst was saying. By content, FFMP fails the definition of milk; that is exactly why the Schedule lists “Filled Milk” as its own category, with its own composition (about 3% fat, of which 28–40% is vegetable). By label, Regulation 3(5) requires any modification to milk be disclosed “in close proximity to the name.” A cow on the front, “milk” in large type, and “vegetable fat” hidden in small print on the back is not in close proximity to anything. Content and label point the same way: it is not milk, and the law says the difference must be made obvious. I'll stop here. The @gatefieldco narrative is just dead. If you love Nigeria and are pro-Nigeria as you said, you'll care about what you, your parents, and your siblings take in. gst is actually advocating for you. Any questions?

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Thought pieces framing gst as the enemy while defending “benevolent” big food and the “highly competent and effective” Nigerian government regulators. It’s noted.
gst@wearegst

A respected newspaper in Ireland investigated the country’s FFMP exports and confirmed they were falsely marketing FFMP to “lactose intolerant” Nigerians as Milk. KerryGold’s parent company literally blamed lax Nigerian laws. This is shameful and a slap in our face.

Your politicians will sell your resources out to Australians. Australians will use it to develop their land. You'll now go to their embassy and beg for visa. They'll give you. You'll now leave all your family and friends in squalor and go to labour for their economy. 😭

Meanwhile, @wearegst communicates public health reports from partner public health institutions. They are not shaming you for being poor, your government & peers do bad all by themselves. They are telling you the health risks associated with what this society has been reduced to.

The statement by Akpabio that insecurity will end after the election is another indication that this government has no plans to end insecurity in this country
