A post about NAFDAC raiding shops in Nasarawa and seizing counterfeit drinks valued at over N41 million received both praise and suggestions on where the agency should focus next. However, one comment shifted the focus to ethnicity, stating, “This is an attack on ndi Igbo, they only doing it to earn a living and develop Nasarrawa.”
This comment suggests that NAFDAC’s actions are specifically targeting Igbo people in Nasarawa, which introduces unnecessary ethnic tension into an issue about counterfeit goods. While it’s important to acknowledge concerns about fairness, the focus should be on the illegal activity itself, rather than making sweeping generalizations about a specific group. Combatting counterfeit products is a public health issue, and efforts should be centered on the greater good, not tribal divisions.
