A Nigerian woman has raised the alarm after noticing what she described as a suspicious inscription on a sachet of chicken seasoning she recently bought from a market.

In a video shared online, the woman, who identified herself as Chef Chioma, said she regularly uses the seasoning while cooking and had gone to buy a larger pack.

She said she noticed the pack looked different from the size she normally buys but was told it was the available size, so she went ahead with the purchase.

However, after returning home and attempting to open it, she said she noticed that the product appeared different and suspected it was fake.

According to her, the label appeared to have been printed and placed over another inscription on the container.

Chef Chioma said she bought the seasoning from the market where she usually purchases spices and could not use it to cook after noticing what she described as a fake product.

She urged consumers to carefully check the products they buy and called on the company to look into the matter.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has dismantled a Nigerian-Mexican drug cartel operating a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory in Eziama community in Obeagu, Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State.

NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said two kingpins, 45-year-old Chukwu Obumneme Christopher, alias Brown, and 60-year-old Chukwu Georginus Monday, alias George, were arrested in connection with the operation of the meth lab in partnership with a notorious Mexican drug cartel member, Rodriguez Villanueva, based in Mexico City, Mexico, after several months of intelligence and surveillance on the syndicate.

Babafemi said the suspects were arraigned before the Federal High Court, Enugu Judicial Division, on a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, the organisation, management and financing of a Drug Trafficking Organization, and unlawful possession of precursor chemicals used in methamphetamine production, contrary to the NDLEA Act. After their plea, the presiding judge, Justice Segun-Bello scheduled their trial for Oct 21st, following an application by the Agency for an accelerated hearing.

Also named in the charge, and currently at large, are Uchenna, alias Uche; Celestine Ikemefuna Iwuchukwu; and Rodriguez Villanueva, who is a notorious member of a Mexican drug cartel.

Babafemi said a search in the laboratory operated by the drug traffickers led to the recovery of vast quantities of precursor chemicals, including 690 litres of methylamine, 1,000 litres of isopropyl alcohol, 300 litres of hydrochloric acid, 290 litres each of toluene and acetone, 400 litres of liquid sodium hydroxide, 125 kilograms of N-phenylacetamide, 414 kilograms of lead acetate, and 769.6 kilograms of tartaric acid, among other controlled substances, a haul consistent with a high-potency, P2P-based methamphetamine manufacturing operation.

A related search of George’s family residence yielded eight large fuel tanks, four commercial gas burners, four dehydrators, and 11 kilograms of ephedrine, further underscoring the scale of the cartel’s operations.

American rapper Cardi B and Nigerian footballer Maduka Okoye have been spotted together again, this time during Milan Fashion Week.

The pair were seen chatting and spending time together at an afterparty in Milan on Tuesday, September 22, with videos showing them enjoying drinks and mingling at the event.

A Nigerian woman has criticised what she described as a “scarcity mindset” among some women when it comes to dating wealthy men.

In a video shared online, she claimed that once women hear that a particular man has money, many of them begin competing for his attention.

“Nigerian women are so desperate when it comes to rich men. Make my Nigerian sister never say one guy get money like this,” she said, describing how some women allegedly pursue wealthy men and compete with other women for them.

She questioned why several women would focus on the same man, adding that he can only marry one person and should be allowed to make his own choice.

According to her, some women become possessive and confront other women over a man, even when the man may be pursuing those women himself.

She argued that this behaviour comes from a “scarcity mindset,” where women fear they may never find another wealthy man if they lose the one they are currently pursuing.

The woman advised women to stop fighting over men and accept it when a man chooses someone else, adding that they should move on instead of behaving desperately.

She concluded by urging Nigerian women to “breathe” and allow wealthy men to make their own choices.
