"Are you guys not tired of using tribalism and Igbophobia? All of us are dying. All of us are dying from this fake."
He said.
He argued that fake drinks, alcohol, and other consumables pose health risks to Nigerians regardless of their ethnicity, including Igbo people.
He also defended NAFDAC's efforts to combat counterfeit products, saying the agency was working but could do better. He urged Nigerians to focus on tackling the problem rather than turning the discussion into an ethnic argument.

Aba market sellers have reportedly asked Opeyemi to name the exact products he bought. Sources say they have been flooding his comments and DMs with questions like "Which shop did you buy from?" and "What was the name of the product?" One seller reportedly wrote, "Oga, if you bought fake products in Aba, name the shop. We will handle it ourselves." Opeyemi has not responded to the requests, but his friends say he has been avoiding his phone since Monday.
