 Terry Crews’ Wife Rebecca Reveals Parkinson’s Battle 11 Years After Diagnosis: ‘Seeing Improvement’ Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, have opened up about a deeply personal health journey that the family has been quietly navigating for more than a decade. During Monday’s episode of the Today show, Rebecca, 60, revealed that she has been living with Parkinson’s since receiving her diagnosis in 2015, though the first warning signs appeared years earlier. Looking back, she said it all began around 2012 with a slight numbness in her left foot. Not long after, her trainer noticed something unusual in the way she walked, particularly that one of her arms was no longer swinging naturally. Then came the moment that truly raised alarm. Rebecca recalled waking up one morning to find her hand shaking, a tremor that made it clear something more serious might be happening. At first, she said a doctor suggested it was anxiety and reassured her that she would be fine. Still, trusting...

 Lawmaker Slams NAFDAC Over N700,000 ‘Shop Re-Opening Levy’ on Onitsha Drug Traders


A federal lawmaker, Mr. Afam Ogene, has condemned the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for allegedly imposing a N700,000 levy on traders affected by the closure of the Onitsha drug market in Anambra State. Ogene, representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency under the Labour Party, described the action as “scandalous, outrageous, and reprehensible” in a statement issued on Tuesday in Onitsha.


According to Ogene, documented evidence indicates that NAFDAC is extorting N700,000 from each shop owner to regain access to their businesses, with over 1,000 traders reportedly having paid the contentious fee. He criticized the agency for failing to distinguish between innocent business owners and those involved in drug counterfeiting, questioning the fairness of the levy.


“What is this money for? If it’s for access to the shops, does it imply that the fee absolves those guilty of drug counterfeiting? How is this fair to innocent businesses in the market?” Ogene asked. He argued that the policy contradicts principles of fairness, justice, and the rule of law upheld by democracy.


Ogene noted that the House of Representatives had previously cautioned NAFDAC in a February motion against harming legitimate businesses during its operations in the market. He expressed concern over the agency’s prolonged closure of the market and its apparent inability to identify and prosecute those responsible for counterfeit drugs, raising questions about NAFDAC’s operational efficiency.


Calling NAFDAC’s actions “unethical, unacceptable, and reprehensible,” Ogene urged the agency to address the issue swiftly to restore its credibility and avoid further embarrassment. He warned that the controversy undermines the fight against fake drugs and risks tarnishing the agency’s reputation.


The situation has sparked widespread concern among traders and stakeholders, who are calling for transparency and accountability in NAFDAC’s operations at the Onitsha drug market.
