Anyip Blessed

Dear Friends, Tonight is the night! We are thrilled to invite you to the premiere of our powerful new documentary, Sweet Poison, airing Tuesday, May 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM (WAT) on TVC News Nigeria. Sugary drinks have become a common feature of everyday life in Nigeria, yet their heavy consumption is linked to a growing burden of chronic diseases and environmental damage. Sweet Poison examines this contradiction by combining expert analyses, sharp visuals, and the experiences of affected individuals and communities to unpack the myths and facts surrounding these products. At the centre of the documentary is a key policy question. It interrogates Nigeria’s current Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSB) tax, a government levy on sugary drinks meant to reduce consumption, and asks whether it is strong enough to challenge an industry that profits from ill health. The film makes a clear case for smarter taxation and regulatory reform as necessary measures to protect public health. Mark your calendar. Tune in at 6:00 PM (WAT) sharp on TVC News. Tell your family, friends, and colleagues to join you. To watch on cable: • DStv: Channel 418 (TVC News Nigeria) • GOtv: Channel 25 • Startimes: Channel 307 See you on the other side of the screen!

This is not a witch hunt on industries, but a call for the right to choose healthy foods.

At CAPPA's digital Media training for volunteers, I got to realize that as a people who value health, we need to be cautious of labels of processed foods, know the contents of what we eat and embrace #SSBTax for a better nigeria #SSBTaxSaves @HealthyFood_NG @CAPPAfrica
