You can be extremely careful with your health. You can live a decent life, avoid smoking and alcohol, eat well, and do everything you can to protect yourself. Yet, somewhere along the line, one careless person may be selling you fake soft drinks. One dishonest pharmacist is selling you counterfeit medication. One wicked market trader is selling you palm oil mixed with red dye.
It only takes one person’s greed, carelessness, or dishonesty to put another person’s health and even life at risk.
In Nigeria, when it comes to what we consume, we are ultimately in the hands of God. You can do your best to protect yourself, but sometimes, the things we put into our mouths are only as safe as the people who produce and sell them.
