0monnak0da:Stop lying to yourself, in Nigeria chemist are allow to sell drugs that is over the counter but there is no regulation, Codein and Tramadol is not a banned medicine. Developing countries have problem of drug abuse because most medicine stores are not run by pharmacist but by unprofessional chemist shops, so no prescription in selling drugs. 1 Like |

The north sniffs many addictive substances including gum . That means if you take away codeine, they will still be addicted to gum and many other common substances. They have the highest drug prevalence in the entire country, followed closely by the south west while the east has the lowest. The problem is demand. If there is demand in the East, the criminal good for nothing drug dealers will ply their wares there . Northern youths need to be educated on the dangers of drugs 1 Like |

I don't know why the igbo here are antagonising the man for this open truth that their brothers are the major suppliers of drugs to the north,therefore causing the epidemic. This attitude of "them against us" is becoming disgusting. I can remember my nysc days in kogi stay,where I served had the Igbo's exclusively as owners of all shops and supermarkets. You need to see how both the old and young drink to stupor from the dry gins supplied by those guys. They don't care about the effect those things have on the consumers,all they care is the profit. It is very bad,and when drug enforcers go after them no body should say "victimization". |

Odingo1: No need to get emotional What lie have I told? Have I said they are BANNED Please show me where i said so That a thing is not banned does not mean it is unregulated. FYI Heroin and morphne are not BANNED either but that does not mean you can possess them UNLAWFULLY That is the key word LAWFULNESS The issues is not about chemists or pharmacists but about drugs being supplied and traded by unlicensed vendors in an unregulated market unlawfully. We can go into details of what is lawful or not but recreational use of codeine or tramadol is NOT LAWWFUL in Nigeria. Is codein an over the counter medicine in Nigeria? Is Tramadol an OTC drug? Then what are you talking about exactly? |

The whole thing started when Hausa Mia guards wanted something to keep them awake all night. Their gboro was no longer working so they started indulging in overdose of a certain cheap medication. Eventually they noticed that the effect was making them hyper. So those of them that dig pits, wells and toilets joined in using it. Gradually, it became recreational which fueled the demand. Before Igbo even started setting up stores in the north, big Alhajis were already traveling down to onistha and idumota to buy them in bulk and ship to the north. They first started it and that how they made money |

0monnak0da: Good. Now, a northerner goes to that qualified pharmacist and claims to have cough. The pharmacist prescribes benyllin (contains Codiene) for the customer to treat his cough, unknowingly to him that the customer just wanted to get high. So who is to be blamed here from this scenario? I await your response 1 Like |

TheKingIsHere:Pharmacists do not prescribe. Only a doctor prescribes Please talk like someone who went to school Now a patent medicine store cannot dispense codeine. It must be a registered "PHARMACY" with a licensed ppharmacist who must be present before codene is issued. He should record the details of the patient including keeping a copy of the prescription. Now if iit was a case of one dose of codeine there would be no problem but when codein is being sold by the litre with no record there iss a huge problem |

0monnak0da:You know that your argument is baseless, in Nigeria chemist sell all manner of drugs without prescription and that is applicable in most third world countries.If someone go to chemist and buy a non banned drug and go and abuse it, that is the person cup of tea. Every medicine have dosage writing on the body and most of the time the chemist will tell the person how to take it. In lagos how many times have law enforcement arrest all this Hausa people that is carrying drugs on their head and be hawking it. Have you ever see something wrong with it to talk of chemist shops that is registered with government. 1 Like |

hammer6F: My position is that the law should be followed. So arrest this or that is not my issue Codeine or Tramadol should not be supplied without a prescription from a doctor Where there is such a prescription only a QUALIFIED pharmacist should fill the prescription and the amount should not exceed licensed daily limits A patent medicine dealer cannot supply medicines that are by law POM ie Prescription ONLY MEDICINES Ifthat is adhered to no problem |
Re: "Igbo Behind Drug Abuse In The North" - Malam Bala Mohammed by Elliot2(m): 7:39pm On Apr 03, 2018 |
Onenaira1:blame Azikiwe! The fact remains that those that have been arrested are major Igbo's,and you can dispute that stat. Whether the northers are unintelligent or not,it is criminal for your brothers to take advantage of them by selling substances that are easily abused by the consumers esp. hard drugs. The recent surge on prevalence in hard drug abuse among the youths in my area is due to the advent of foreigners into the community,mostly the Igbo's. it is a fact. |

Odingo1:In Nigeria people do all manner of unlawful things the fact that someone does it and gets away with it is is not an accepted defence in law if you are prosecuted. There has been very clear guidance and dialogue between NDLEA and Chemists on drugs like Valium Codeine Tramadol etc. No Chemist will claim not to know and the truth is abusers do not get supply from chemist shops. No sensible Chemist will take that risk The main distribution channel for codeine and Tramadol is not CHEMIST SHOPS. They are street drugs So if they are slating Ibos t is mainly drug dealers not Chemists though many Chemists may be involved they will not do so openly |

0monnak0da: It is obvious that you are uninformed or lack basic knowledge that pharmacist can and are also allowed to prescribe drugs. Google is your friend. It is only powerful/harmful drugs that they are yet to be allowed to prescribe Also, being a registered pharmacy doesn't stop the abuser from abusing a simple drug as Codiene.. I have already given you a well explained scenario. It is left for you to understand 2 Likes |

oooduancalmdown: I will first of all start by asking how old you are? Have you lived in the North? I do not dispute the lecturer about Igbo people who own chemist stores selling these drugs to the northern youth.. but this has been going on for ages even when I was a kid in the 90s this people love highness.. they sniff glue, fuel fumes and etc for highness. Before Sharia they drank themselves to stupor.. Most of them back in the 70s and 80s had rich dads that sent them abroad to read and probably mingled with the aristocratic kids who experimented with prescription drugs. This is not a tribal issue but a national issue because if all our youths go this way then the future of the country is at stake... |
Re: "Igbo Behind Drug Abuse In The North" - Malam Bala Mohammed by 0monnak0da: 7:43pm On Apr 03, 2018 |
My take is there is a bigger demand problem in the North than elsewhere and my theory is that it is related to the clamp doown on alcohol |

Whether their govt made them jobless or not,it does not give u right to sell those hard drugs to them. |

TheKingIsHere:Pharmacists do not prescribe drugs that are prescription only in Nigeria. They may recomend and dispense OTC drugs that do not require a prescription( That is dispensing not prescribing) but where the SPC indicates POM only a doctor can prescrribe. They certainly CANNOT PRESCRIBE Tramadol Define POWERFUL There is nothing like powerful as a category of medicines. Is Tramadol Powerless |

So what the hell are u guys ranting?! do you want them to let your brothers be simply because they are not forcing the northerners to take or abuse it? Can you say that to the Malaysian and Indian govts., argue for your brothers in different cells and have them freed? |
