Food critic Opeyemi Famakin is warning Nigerians to be careful when buying expensive body mists from street vendors.
He's concerned about fake products and potential health risks.
He points out that when luxury brands that normally cost around N40,000 are suddenly being sold for N4,000, something is wrong.
Some sellers will try to convince buyers their products are real, or they'll bump up prices to make counterfeit goods look authentic.
His advice is simple: only buy these products from trusted, verified shops.
Don't risk buying from vendors unless you're certain about where the product comes from.
Famakin said he gives people product recommendations but will also keep warning about items that could be dangerous to health, including those that might cause serious diseases.
