I am from Zambia and I grew up drinking fresh milk every day, so it was a surprise to me whilst living in London, my new Nigerian friend used powdered milk to make me a cup of tea and I said to her, don't you have fresh milk because I can't drink that and she said that is what we use in Nigeria. I just assumed all Africans have many cows and drink their milk....my mother is Zimbabwean and they don't joke with their cows. My grandmother churned butter, make cheese, made yoghurt etc. She would say drink that milk, it will give you good bones, teeth, nice skin and curves. May her soul rest in peace dear grandma.
We don't have ranches in Nigeria. So very few cows. The southern part of Nigeria is humid and has the Tsetse flies that really bugs cattle. So quite a few down here. The majority tend to be in the Northern states roaming about with vicious cattle herders, eating up people's farms, while the govt turns a blind eye. With electricity problems, we don't really have fantastic dairy processing plants able to process and store liquid milk. Powder is the way to go down here. And then again, not even sure if the powdered milk is really from the actual cattle themselves or just some imported chemical mix.
@@kasikwagoma6740 I'm Nigerian native and resident. I never drink dry milk. I drink liquid evaporated milk like UK carnation. We have our own brands. My generation was raised on evaporated milk. Dried milk is favoured by many for convenience of storage as liquid milk needs cool storage.
The guest is a liar. We do have milk in Nigeria but it is not made in commercial quantities by the big dairy companies. It is mostly drunk locally by cattle herders and their families.
There's so many things that Nigerians have loss, it's not just the leaders, the people, are very confused on what they want for themselves
We have milk in Nigeria, but ignorance and tribal divisions make it difficulties for milk to be widespread.
I think, sensitive topics like these should be given more time. The public needs to be fully educated on this. If there isn't enough time in a given broadcast schedule to deal with these topics in detail, why not create a channels news podcast where you provide the experts with enough time to deal with these sensitive topics.
@@kieriayibadoubara2527 truly you are right, Nigerians should stand up over what happens in our country we should not shy away from things that is so related to our health
I agree. There should be awareness and knowledge given to the public first of all.
This is a serious matter. With all the PhDs everywhere, they can't carry out researches on this topic? Where's NAFDAC? I'm surprised I've not been taking milk!
What is NAFDAC doing about allowing the these products into Nigeria and the mislabelling of these products as ”milk”?... 🤷🏾♂️
It is the job of the Standard Organization of Nigeria,but they are no where to be found.
@@LoonieGoon3r I'm sure d producers will correct themselves with this public exposure though they're not technically actually mislabeled as they're labeled FILLED MILK. It's d buyers responsibility to understand what FILLED means as opposed to WHOLE MILK/FULL CREAM.
That's the job of FCPCA not SON @@isaacochiba6483
Also our SACHET AND TIN TOMATOES are no more salt and tomato like when I was younger it's now tapioca, soy, and etc that's used to make it they should check that too
We are having the same thing with tomato paste we only take flavoured corn flour
@@kazeemadeleke7979 Ingredients :Tomatoes, sugars, Soy fiber, Modified Starch (Corn&Tapioca), Salt, Acidity regulators, Natural colours, Vitamins & Mineral premix, Permitted food colour.
Tomato paste is mainly tomatoes. Better to make one's own though to avoid d sugar. Many good DIY recipes on TH-cam.
Even our so called butter is margarine. Blueband are liars, butter is made from milk,blueband includes soy and other hydrogenated oils. It's Margarine
This is very true and I agree. I'm someone that's into fitness and I've tried searching for raw milk here in Nigeria,so I really got invested into nutrient content of types of milks. The powdered milk we use has lost a lot of needed nutrients,raw milk(straight from the breast be it goat,cow,sheep e.t.c) is very nitritious and great,it has the prebiotics and bacteria,enzymes (that is lost when you pasteurize the milk and heating) to make you digest it easier if you're lactose intolerant. I've seen some local cow owners in my area and spoke with them to get some raw milk, it's rare to find and I'm broke I wasn't able to afford it. I'm happy this man spoke out on we use creamers,companies label it as milk to deceive us and they can't try that in Western countries. I just hope new companies come up and give us real affordable pasteurized and semi pasteurized liquid milks.
Edit:Even that blueband company should be sewed,they sell margarine and market it as butter. That stuff contains soy oils,butter is made from raw milk
Blueband has never marketed its product as butter but margarine. Nigerians are the one who started calling it butter and it stuck for generations
There's "Sabore Farms", you should look them up, its a growing big dairy local company in Adamawa state and they supply all around the country, they do raw milk
There is a big difference between powdered milk and creamers. Both of them have definitions.
I'm yet to find any full cream powdered milk that was labelled as anything else but that. Do you know what creamer is made of?
Love this comment
1) bro you jacked.. I'm into fitness too.. Very happy to see a fellow Nigerian into fitness and health awareness.
2) you can seize this opportunity, yes you are broke now, but if you can, this a business opportunity. I spoke with a friend of mine about this same issue and business opportunity.
I’m sorry but that’s just not true, milk is pasteurized to avoid deadly illnesses, look at the data, the amount of deaths before we started pasteurization was huge, and a simple google search and u will see that pasteurization is literally just heating up milk to a certain temperature for a certain amount of time, the nutritional value is essentially damn near the same. Only benefit from raw milk is building a strong immune system unless if you are unlucky, get sick and die
What is the function of Standard Organization of Nigeria.
That's not there job it's the job of FCCPC
Many Nigerian recipes call for powdered milk.
Raw milk is inconvenient because electricity is unreliable 😢
This one keeps shutting him up when he’s about to tell us that all these guys manufacturing milk for us here are supplying us poisons instead of
Fura de nunu and wara were common products in Ilorin growing up, these are made from fresh milk. Nonetheless we believed the processed one was better and consumed it largely
I love wara
He is absolutely correct, I grew up not drinking fresh milk. I’ve been searching to see if there’s any dairy plant or farms in Nigeria, I couldn’t find any. I think Nigeria has what it takes to produce milk.
An American tasted our powdered milk. (Instant one) He told me this is not milk. I thought he was joking
D filled ones are chaff. D whole milk/full cream ones are ok.
Because that is not the state and taste he associates with milk.
@@lolasobande8663 The filled ones are skimmed milk with the fat removed, they are also available abroad. They are actually helathier for adults. Low-fat, skim or 1% cow's milk are healthier options compared to 2% or whole milk.
People keep telling you
@@bolder9999 filled milk are not healtheir as they are mostly processed oil ..is margarine( processed oil) healthier than real milk butter? That costs 7 k while margarine is 1 k?
How do peak milk 3 crown cowbell produce milk without a dairy farm for milk harvest? On the other hand i have heard allegedly Americans researchers in Nigeria asking peak others where is their dairy farm and the answer was zero. Aside this, the soft drinks from Coca-Cola to nearly all are from sweetener, additives and carbonate
You learn something everyday. Milk technically must not have anything added or removed from how it came out of the cow, for it to be called "milk" or "whole milk".
However, I take issue with equating powdered or evaporated milk with creamer. Full cream powdered milk only has the water content removed. Creamer is a completely artificial product that isn't even a milk derivative. Big difference.
I'm not talking about "filled milk" like cowbell and three crowns, those are crappy skim milk mixed with vegetable oils.
I appreciate accurate information. I don't appreciate hyperbole and yet more dogging on Nigeria telling us how pathetic we are, blah blah blah. I grew up drinking POWDERED MILK, which was accurately labelled as such, according to definition. And nutritionally, still has a large portion of the original content. It's hardly cause for lawsuits.
I moved to Canada over a year ago and I and my children started consuming whole milk (3.25% full fat milk) and a family fiend already living in Canada was advising that I go to African store to get powdered Nigerian peak milk and I was like why would I do that when I'm now in a country where I have access to real milk and you want me to buy powdered "milk"of $35 sent from nigeria to Canada when I can buy 20litres of whole milk with that same amount of money.
Many Nigerian recipes call for powdered milk.

I had nunu for lunch for years! Thank God!! Spot on, no milk in Nigeria 😢
This has been well known for a long time. It became totally crazy when cowbell was introduced in the 90s. Our standards organization is dead. Even if you can’t change things, make sure they are properly labeled .
It's the job of the consumer protection agency
Nigeria why do we bring in leaders who have no ideas about what is happening in the nation, this is serious, we don't take milk
This information is somewhat misleading. In Nigeria, most of what is consumed is not creamers. Creamers are different from powdered milk; they are made from fat, oil, sugar, and other ingredients, while powdered milk is essentially dried fresh milk. It’s important to note that powdered milk has a different nutritional value from fresh milk. Neither is necessarily superior to the other; it ultimately depends on personal taste and intended use. A significant disadvantage of fresh milk is its short shelf life, making it less practical for Nigeria, where access to reliable electricity is still a challenge.
Fresh milk is superior both in nutrients and bioavailable. Sour milk can be used to make butter and yoghurt e.t.c
That rubbish blueband is not butter they sell, it's Margarine
Just call a spade a spade. What every other country knows as "milk", we don't have it
Thank you, started asking why we can make yoghurt from condensed milk if it's not milk. Just sensational headline for nothing.
Personally, I do not support the retail bottling of pasteurised fresh milk due to its short shelf life and the common practice of fortifying it with synthetic vitamins and shelf-stable additives, which could pose potential health risks with long-term consumption.
Freeze-drying remains one of the best methods for preserving the natural vitamins and phytochemicals in fresh milk while extending its shelf life. However, to ensure microbial safety, an additional process such as Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology may be required to effectively eliminate pathogens without compromising nutritional value.
It's not feasible even abroad.
It's like refinery you need to have the farm and plant to bottle it.
Read your powdered milk ingredients, you'd see "milk extract" as the only milk-related ingredient!
You're supposed to see skimmed milk as the main ingredient!
Which brand are you talking about? You shouldn't even see skim milk! Powdered milk is supposed to be made by REMOVING water from the whole milk. Where is skim milk coming from?
It occurred to me when I moved countries and realized I was lactose intolerant. I’d previously taken ‘milk’ in Nigeria and I’d never had any issues, meaning that what we have in Nigeria isn’t milk.
Thank you!
I thought as much. If you take tea lately you might have noticed milk doesn't dissolve completely like before,it always has something like debris on top or at the bottom.
Exactly!!! Thank you for this. Cows gives milk, and where are they .
I am not in that WhatsApp group o. I stopped drinking 'milk' for the most part about two years ago.
I take plant based milk. Tiger nut.
If I really want to go back to drinking animal based milk full time . I will rear my goat or cow by myself and milk them. That's the best . The store bought ones have been so processed that it has little or no nutrients
Me too, In the future, I'll make sure my children take raw milk from my herd, it's nutrient dense
Creamers is totally different from milk. Creamers has glucose powder, a lot of hydrogenated vegetable oil, emulsifiers, stabilisers and other different types of compounds. However, real milk does exists taken by villagers and families of cattle herders. Commercial production is the problem and this is because it is cheap to import Milk powder and creamers for packaging and sale in the country.
The long life milks in cartons are the closest we have to real milk. Dano, oldenburger etc have products in the stores. The packs have the ingredient as just milk and nothing else. The powdered milks are not real i agree.
I was actually having this topic with a friend.
Filled milk is printed on the package, and processed cheese is not cheese .soy milk is non dairy creamer, filled milk is mostly processed oil .allegedly full cream milk is milk .
I've heard this before. A foreigner drew my attention to this, and i thought he was insulting Nigeria. Please what is Nafdac doing about this? And the media house? Please there is need for more awareness on this and it should be reflected in our nutrition text books and waec exam especially food and nutrition and home economics and nursing for higher institutions.
What bout Kefir Milk
We do not have electricity to sustain liquid milk in Nigeria. I honestly prefer powdered milk...most people are too old for milk anyways.
Just the comment I was looking for. You have spoken well. Until there’s regular power supply in Nigeria, all that milk talk na fantasy
Vital point
Are you serious?
Churning milk gives you butter. Even if you threw all those milk away, butter gives you profits, high demand, can be preserved easily. Turned into Cheese. The more it ages the better.
Electricity is a silly excuse.
@isaacjohnson615 are we talking butter or fresh milk? 🤔
@@AbuAbduLlaahAbdulKareem exactly, even in Canada, 4 days of the milk in the fridge,it begins to smell funny.
Peak "milk", Three Crowns "Milk", ....
Oga host allow your guest speak.
What is NAFDAC doing?😢😢😢
Blend Almond & Dates as alternative. Wow, it’s creamers 😮
Best comment! Leave animal products..... there's not enough to go round!. That's why they produce chemical products, not food ,for sale, for profit only.
Eat more plant based.
Coconut milk, tigernut milk, melon seed milk, soya milk, Almond milk.
Chose health over convenience, and you'll never need to visit the hospitals
Or tigernuts. I love tigernuts milk
Those aren't "milk" either. They're even further removed.
I thought as much.
In Nigeria, any foreign company can do whatever they like and give it a name that we all accept. 😢
It's very sad to hear this. These multinational companies have been giving us creams, not milk.
May God have on us.
Many Nigerian recipes call for powdered milk.
Raw milk is inconvenient because electricity is unreliable 😢
What of baby milk?
Those are synthetic products, definitely not milk
Niger state and Kaduna has the best fresh milk
You can said that again, there are now a lot of investment on dairy in Kaduna. Aler, milkopal, ABU zaria are really giving quality milk and milk products
Not anymore mate...and it's sad
I literally have been saying this for years. Peak milk is creamer
Nope, not even close. Go look up the constituents of creamer and compare to the contents of Peak milk.
I am all for improving the state of our nation however, this is inaccurate information from Mr Olufemi. He was asked for data, and he said there is none. If there is none, how did he come about that what is being consumed is not milk? Mr Olufemi should have run analysis on milk samples sold in Nigeria and then present data on the protein content of what he calls creamers. Evaporated milk is milk that the water has been reduced by a process that does not denature the protein. Powdered milk is fresh milk that is spray dried, both of these still have the same nutritional composition as milk. No useful information was passed in this interview to the viewers except a desire to begin consulations with the government to impose regulations.
Exactly, talk with proof not just words
I'm so glad there are intelligent Nigerians out here that fact-check what they are told and don't just swallow anything at face value.
@kehindeakiode2865 I don't usually do this, but I am particularly invested in this as a certified food scientist who is weary of misinformation being used to market products and/or promote personal interest rather than objectively passing on facts and data that allow decisions and policy that will be truly beneficial to be made.
I work with FrieslandCampina (Peak milk) and I can tell you he's speaking gibberish. Peak milk cowbell etc are milk by evert standard and it rivals international milk products. These companies even export said milk produced from nigeria. Most of the milk raw materials such as WMP BMP WM SMP AMF etc are imported and processed locally but saying we don't produce or have milk in Nigeria is just plain fooling around
Export to EU or US? Or to African nations? Are milk (WMP, BMP etc) supposed to be imported or produced directly from cows?
Inaccurate information and alarmist!!!
@bolder9999 The man has provided zero useful information, yet the comment section is filled with people besides themselves.
No fact to support his assumptions.
Just going back and forth
Creamers not milk, spread and not butter. Apart from milk being expensive because we mostly import it, majority of Africans are lactose intolerant (milk allergy) so it selling non-dairy products makes more sense from a health and market perspective.
How do you Come up with lactose intolerance rate for a population that have not had a chance to drink milk? Most people who live abroad and their Nigerian children gulp down milk and have no lactose problems.
You are right about our spreads not being butter, blueband needs to be sewed,that shit is soy and plant oils, it's Margarine, butter is made from raw milk
I wish we could start producing cheese.
If wishes were horses....
How many cattle farmers do you know, in the first person?
It's not a glamorous career or business.
@ but we can’t continue to import everything, not with the high exchange rates. I can’t afford to buy cheese here anymore. Not even fruits like grapes 🍇. It’s really outrageous.
I can make cheese but the problem is preservation 😢
@@urisonuohaLocal grapes grown in Kaduna costs less than oranges, there. You can source it from Kaduna.
@@orisirisishop so sad honestly..
🎉😊
First of all.. can we please start by having the much vaunted Channels Tv properly the identity of our guest:
Is "Manufacturing Industry Canada" a reputable and renowned company somewhere in some part of the world..?
Second; what product can we asssume that the anchor is talking about when he reads/quotes a government publication about 1.8billion being deficit..?
"Milk".. or "Creamers"?
The expert is talking about Milk.. the Anchor is talking about Creamers.
Thirdly, how can the expert IJGB expert correctly assess that powerful people have stopped manipulating things for thier powerful friends or that any data is now genuine in Nigeria under the Tinubu administration?
Lastly, how can we sincerly move forward when the reporter seems to be "jest-fully" lost with misplaced priorities in the face of the severity of the expert's assessments..???!!!!!!
Hnmmm.
Thank you!
These guys are quacks
@NomadByNecessity Because the "expert" has not provided any fact that can be intelligently discussed.
An expert says, there is no point in looking for numbers. What kind of expert are you?..lol 😂😂😂.
He's an expert in observation.
If you can only use your eyes to go through 50 malls in Nigeria, tell me how many of them have real milk?
If you like dey wait for numbers and data.
@nabsteve There is no such thing as an "expert in observation" in any industry. You either know it or, you don't. No expert sees what is going on in his/her industry without compiling data, both primary and secondary data on the matter. That is how such a person can claim to be an expert. People like you should stop exposing your poor education upbringing on social media. Everything to you is wuru-wuru to the answer. Have some dignity for once, smh.
Keep lying to yourself by calling creamier products milk.
@@4evertrue830Well spotted! An expert that doesn't bring the receipts is questionable.
If you really came to solve a problem, you should care about figures, especially as an expert. But if you just came to complain and trash-talk the country because of this and that, then of course you wouldn't need specifics.
If you can't be specific with your solutions, I count your "solutions" as bull 💩.
@@jaysenossai7165congratulations for completely missing the point.
Allow him to talk!!! This presenter or whatever just wants to hear himself.
Who is the guest? What's his credentials, contact, etc?
Are you guys quacks?
Just talk and nothing said.
Whats the take home message?
Who are the associations, organisations, etc that are supposed to be involved in that sector locally?
Whats the standard elsewhere?
This is just a waste of time.
Apart from his statement of creamers, one didn't learn a damn thing.
Pharmaceutical companies will never tell u how simple it is to improve your health.A word they say is enough for the wise.He has dropped a hint that many are afraid to say.The rest is left for you to figure out.
Even what he said about creamer is not accurate. The definition of milk is, though.
I believe nigeria once import milk producing cows from SA, our weather is too brutal
