        The curse of the counterfeit industry...a major part of the illicit economy worth over $ 3:5 trillion according to WEF. That economy is known as a member of the G8!

        @ogundamisi let me surprise you, many drug sellers in Lagos island get their suppliers from China. I was amazed when I discovered this. Please with your years of experience in investigative journalism, Is China a known destination for good drugs?

        I don't just think its about the country "China", it's about what Nigerians go there to demand for..
