Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri is speaking out against counterfeit food spreading in the Nigerian market. She called on the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, to strengthen plans to stop the circulation of fake and potentially harmful products in Nigeria.
In a video she posted on her Instagram handle, Kadiri spoke about the safety of products sold in the country and warned that counterfeit and contaminated food, drinks, medicines, cosmetics, and household products pose a serious threat to human lives.
“Dear Nigerians, I’m speaking to you today with a heavy heart and deep concern about the circulation of fake products in our country.
“Every day, people buy food, drinks, medicine, cosmetics, and household products believing that they are safe, but sadly, some are poorly produced, contaminated, harmful and mostly fake. This is not just a business problem; it’s a threat to human life. Imagine little children battling kidney failure.”

“I bought garlic, blended it, and went downstairs to get something, only for me to return and see the garlic colour has changed. A whole lot of other people with their experiences. I’m literally afraid of buying already packed drinks for my kids because I am scared of what the outcome of that drink will be.
“NAFDAC, please pay attention to the lives of Nigerians. Lots and lots of people are sick and are not getting better.
Popular Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has debunked claims of hiding the identity of her husband, Mr. Ezerika, from the public.
In an interview on the Dear Ife podcast by Diary of a Naija Girl, Kadiri clarified that her marriage is private, not because of secrecy, but because she prefers to avoid drama.
According to the mother of two, her husband is actively involved in her public life. She emphasised that they attend events together.
Ruth Kadiri further revealed that her husband prefers to maintain a low profile. She expressed confusion over why people expect her to showcase her marriage publicly.
She said, “We go to church together, we attend events together; my life is not as private as people think. In the events I organise, my husband is always there.”
“For clarity, my husband is not a secret. People who know me, know him. And for me, that’s enough. Like, I don’t know why I will sit down and be thinking, what am I proving?”
