[ummita]

I dont know how far true this is.......but sounds like it has an element of truth in it and has been submitted that,.............
"Nigeria has become a dumping ground for banned drugs ; also the business for production of banned drugs is blooming. Plz make sure that u buy drugs only if prescribed by a doctor(Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves."
