I think many Nigerians have a "pennywise, pound foolish" approach when it comes to buying stuff, from clothes to food
Buy the cheap one because it is affordable and end up repairing stuff that spoils from using the cheap stuff for years

Even with cooking oils, story is same

I went to buy stuff some days back at the market
This guy walked in and asked for groundnut oil, seller poured from an unbranded bottle and gave it to him, the oil looked dark and cloudy and had me worried

Where was this oil from?
What was in the oil?
Was it really cheaper?

Just days ago, I found out that some bleach palm oil, add shea butter to these unbranded oils

Here is the thing
Eating too much and the wrong kinds of oils, may raise bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol increasing the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack & stroke

He might not have health insurance as most Nigerians don’t have, so when these diseases show up, he may likely resort to "agbo"

Double wahala!

I was there to buy oil too, so I asked the woman to give the guy one sachet Devon King’s oil instead so at least I save someone too

This was better than unbranded oils. Approved by NAFDAC and available in pack sizes from as low as 50 Naira pack to jerrycans

Rather than getting oil packed in bottles that might have been picked from dustbins or hospital floors why not go for cooking oils from trusted sources

I explained to him that he could cause problems for himself and his health by taking these unbranded oils.
At the end of the day, he saw the light,
Also made him understand that he doesn't need so much oil to cook because with Devon King’s, #LessIsMore

He would take the Devon King’s Cooking Oil and notice that it Tastes better, Quality is better and also Cholesterol Free.
At least, his cholesterol levels would be within normal ranges and prevent some health issues later in life.
Eat the right oils #LessIsMore

Especially oils with unsaturated fats, they help get your bad cholesterol down and good cholesterol up
You should take this serious especially if you have a history of heart disease in your family.
Don't encourage disease with your food, for me, I use Devon King’s Cooking Oil
