The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and
Control, (NAFDAC) on Sunday warned Nigerian men to desist from using
performance-enhancing substances, known as “aphrodisiac”, in a bid to impress
their female partners.
This was contained in a statement for the Christmas and New
Year goodwill message to Nigerians by the Director General of NAFDAC, Prof.
Moji Adeyeye.
The statement was released by the agency’s resident media
consultant, Mr Olusayo Akintola, and made available to NAN.
Adeyeye denounced the preponderance of performance-enhancing
drugs, otherwise known as ‘’Manpower’’ in the local parlance, in the Nigeria
market.
He said that most of the performance-enhancing drugs aren’t
registered with NAFDAC, adding that some of the drugs were smuggled into Nigeria.
He said, “If they were registered, the producers and
peddlers wouldn’t get it to the supermarkets, social media platforms and on the
streets.
“Many men have died using such drugs and their relatives
would blame their death on some imaginary witches in the village. Some of the
producers of these drugs will claim they have no side effects.
“Majority of these products did not go through the approval
process of the agency, the agency will not relent in running after the peddlers
of such dangerous drugs until they’re brought to book for violating the
regulations.”
Adeyeye said that most human beings have the need for
intimacy and for a healthy sexual life and this determines their overall
wellbeing.
