Shot glasses, can they have that on the go?

Born again Christians should know that this is an evil drink

Already, company like Intercontinental Distillery and Euro Global has stopped production line for satchet and pet bottles alcoholic beverages and workers are home indefinitely

So they should poison the cups with "always come back mixture"?😬

First, that union is for workers in that food, beverage, tobacco and alcohol industry.

NAFDAC did not ban them from work...production will still continue...and if they are retrenched due to redundancy...the union should fight for their welfare package, not continued production of a banned substance.

And again, the ban was well agreed by the producers and nafdac bout 5yrs ago, to take full executive effect in Jan 2024.

They were all aware, and should have made plans for change management...the union was aware also.

Misplaced priority of union...continued production isn't the problem...safeguard your jobs in the light of the change...don't let these big companies reap you off coz of the change.
Matter of fact, hold your companies to ransom if they disengage y'all indiscriminately, coz they were aware of the coming change...especially if you were not engaged as a Temporary worker.

Sachets are more portable. Easy to carry around and preserve.

Lol na the hike in Condom protest me still dey wait for

Tinubu and his goons have refused to be sensible in this damned country.

Is the problem of Nigerians sachet alcohol right now?

The union of those shayo producers had an MOU with NAFDAC in December 2018 that they would phase out those products and the ban will come into effect in January 2024. They had 6 years to plan but they didn’t.

They claimed that what they signed then was a policy document and not an MOU.

They’re not ready. The ban has come to stay.

Agbero Association suppose this protest.

Meanwhile to you all,

Learn to forgive. Do yourself that favour always.

Forgiveness is a demonstration of the nature of God. It is an act of obedience.

It involves you not thinking about the offence and just forgetting about whatever transpired. If you keep thinking about the issue, you will find it very difficult to forgive.

If you don't forgive, your heart and emotions will be caged and the person you are harbouring unforgiveness about will be walking freely and may not even be aware of your unforgiveness.

Forgive so God can also forgive you.

Matt.6.14 - "For if you forgive men their treses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Of all the things they thought of banning, it is sachet alcohol they saw. They didn't see fake skin care brands to ban. Alcohol that has been giving men joy since 1666.
