Failure is the key to success.

The goal was to create wallpaper, but they failed.

Alfred Fielding and Mark Chavanne wrapped shower curtains together in 1957. The trapped air bubbles made the wallpaper inferior. No one wanted it, and there was no need for it.

They tried to sell it as insulation for greenhouses, but it failed again—the market rejected it. Then IBM needed something to protect its new computers during shipping. The devices were expensive, fragile, and the old packaging didn't work efficiently enough.

Sealed Air, the company founded by Fielding and Chavanne, presented its product, and IBM accepted. The bubble-filled plastic protected the devices—and it worked.

They called it "bubble wrap." It protected things.

Here's the truth: simple, straightforward, and useful—by 1960, bubble wrap had found its purpose, not as wallpaper or insulation, but as protection for fragile items during transit.

Today, Sealed Air Corporation generates annual revenues exceeding $5 billion, and its failures have become its fortune, and its mistakes have become its mission.

Sometimes failure is the best thing that can happen to you.

Title: When Your Skin Talks — What Breakouts, Dry Patches, and Rashes Say About Your Health

Your skin does more than just shield your body it speaks. That stubborn breakout on your chin or the unexplained dryness on your elbows might be more than a skincare issue. It might be your body trying to tell you something.

Breakouts and Hormonal Imbalances

Acne that keeps showing up around your jawline and chin area can be a sign of hormonal fluctuations. This is especially common during menstruation, pregnancy, or in conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). If topical treatments don’t help, it might be time to look inward literally.

Dry, Flaky Skin and Dehydration

When your skin feels like sandpaper despite regular moisturizing, the issue could be inside. Dehydration and underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) are common causes. Drinking more water, improving your diet, and checking your thyroid levels can make a difference.

Itchy Rashes and Allergies

Sudden rashes, especially when itchy or inflamed, can signal an allergic reaction to something you ate, touched, or inhaled. Eczema and psoriasis are also signs of immune system overactivity and can flare up due to stress or poor gut health.

Dark Patches and Insulin Resistance

Patches of darkened skin, especially around the neck, armpits, or groin (called acanthosis nigricans), can be a red flag for insulin resistance. This condition is a warning sign for prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. It's best not to ignore it.

Pale or Yellowing Skin

Skin that looks unusually pale might point to anemia, while yellowish tones could suggest liver trouble. Both are worth checking out with a healthcare provider, especially if they come with fatigue or other symptoms.

Final Thoughts

Your skin is like a health report printed right on your body. When something changes, don’t just reach for a cream listen carefully. It might be telling you that something deeper needs attention.

Healthy skin starts with a healthy you.

NAFDAC Seizes ₦20.5 Billion Worth of Fake Drugs and Tomato Paste in Rivers State

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered and seized a massive haul of fake drugs and adulterated tomato paste in Rivers State, estimated to be worth over ₦20.5 billion.

According to officials, the raid which took place after weeks of undercover surveillance targeted warehouses where these fake products were being stored and distributed across the country.

A Shocking Discovery

NAFDAC officials said they found:

Large quantities of counterfeit drugs, some with fake expiry dates

Adulterated tomato paste packaged to look like trusted brands

Expired and unregistered items being sold as safe for use


Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the agency’s Director-General, called the discovery alarming and dangerous, especially with how easily these products could have ended up in people’s homes.

> “This is more than a business crime—it’s a direct attack on the health and lives of Nigerians,” she said. “People could have died from using these fake drugs or consuming these harmful products.”



What Happens Now?

A few suspects have already been arrested and are being questioned, though their names haven’t been released yet. NAFDAC says this is just one of several planned operations aimed at cleaning up the system and holding those responsible accountable.

They’re also urging Nigerians to be more cautious check expiry dates, buy from trusted sources, and report any suspicious products.

> “We’ve made a huge step today,” said one official on the ground. “But this fight isn’t over. We’ll keep going until every fake product is off the shelves.”

This latest seizure is not just a victory for NAFDAC but a warning to anyone still dealing in fake and dangerous products: the agency is watching and they’re ready to act.
