A true drop ceiling has a grid and tiles are dropped into place (thus the term drop ceiling). The picture shown looks to me like drywall screws, are you sure it's a nail? If it is a nail, it must have been put in after (for whatever the reason) the ceiling was put in.
Just be sure it is a nail, versus a screw.
Temperture changes and humidity levels are causing the contraction and expansion of building materials to force the nails/screws out of the dry wall.
Possibly not enough screws to hold the weight of the drywall boarding...
