Understand that banning codeine will not stop addiction but increase it along with triple both smuggling and crime rate. This is a powerful opioid (lower than morphine of course) that renders benefits to block pain but with its europhic effect you get half good and half bad.
You want to reduce the level of abuse, then try the next best thing; education/ awareness about the danger of the side effects. Use both animated ad plus local bill boards to spread the message. Also, it shouldn’t be OTC and distributing to only certified pharmacy in states with proper documentation so that any slip up to sell to unlicensed pharmacy will be easily detected.
The USA is having same problem with oxycodone and they just can’t ban it cos these drugs are the only powerful classes of painkillers we have for now.

Are we gonna throw away the baby with the bath water or cut off the head to cure the ache?
The proliferation of codein is a failure of society , failure of organisations charged with drug regulations, failure of a government.
Codein is an important prescription med and should be taken as such. No one should be able to get codein and tramadol without a prescription.
NDLEA, NAFDAC, PCN etc have to wake up and be alive to their responsibilities.

This is the favourite soft drink for northerners! Ad hypocrites that they are, the Holy book forbids alcohol and they'll enforce it but since no mention of codeine then they drink as a substitute and feel happy they aren't sinning.

Codeine abuse is a northern problem ! The north is a problem to nigeria.

It is not only about alcohol. Islam forbids anything that affects your ability to think well. Islam also forbids anything you from anything that causes you harm. So drugs are banned under these two criteria

Whereas these drugs are sold like no man business up North and other "high drugs" but they will only concentrate mostly down south.
But everyone knows who the main suppliers and dealers are.. I was born, raised, schooled in Kano State... I can take you to More than 20 Pharmacies owned by Igbo that only deals with hard drugs and fake drugs... If you are doubting ask any of your friends or relatives who reside in the North

So the yahoo yahoo boys drinking this stuff and other drugs in Edo hia are northerners abi? Abeg it is not only a northern problem. It might occur more in the north but it is not restricted to the region. If you know how boys in Auchi Poly and AAU take hard drugs without caution you wouldn't be tribalizing this. And again intoxicants are not allowed in Islam except in a case where they are the only outlet to solve a problem. The Ulammah agree that drugs like Codiene or Morphine can be administered and taken to solve health issues. They are however forbidden when the goal is just to achieve an intoxicated state (getting high). Afterall no muslim can say that he hasn't used a drug or another that might contain a narcotic. This is permitted as it was necessary in solving health issues.

I propose we ban it 3 days to 2019 polls. Buhari's boys will be having withdrawal symptoms and likely stay out of trouble when results are announced.

Is it because some people misuse a drug then it should be banned, more control is needed not banning.
sincerely codeine is a very effective cough syrup
