A president going for medical checkup outside the country leaving over thousands of Hospital,leaving over 150 million to the state of those hospitals. Ordinary checkup can't be done in his country. Nigeria which way. Some idiots will still quote me and tell me that Jonathan did that. This is 2018 you dumb fool,if Jonathan did it,Buhari also did it,then our next president too must do it abi. Let's sit down for once and think about the way forward.

Imagine Putin going to USA for ordinary checkup? The amount we spend in 4 years with Buharis medical tourism could have built a John Hopkins Hospital in Dura. These guys don't even think of leaving an encouraging and outstanding legacy.

Because iron allows heat transfer and conductivity which is not healthy for the meat. Copper is insulated from heat as the heat touches the meat only.

I only eat seafood soon to stop that too, but good info period!

In d north it is more worrying dat youths get high on jus about anything ranging from shoe gum, petroleum products to d downright outrageous like lizard poo (Yes).. Their leaders need to stop playing hypocrites and start speaking up against dis vice...

Don't forget urine

Summary:

States in the North have been zombified by cough syrup mixed with tramadol and the government said that it is linked to the terrorism in that area.

They're working hard to find the dealers

Now they are pushing a fake opioid that was produced in some lab on the market.

The problem is tooo muchoo!
Youths are dying....

Prichard said there are two potentially worrying aspects to the drug issue in West Africa.

First, is the health complications that arise from the abuse of prescription drugs which leads to dependency, another is its potential to undermine national security, especially in countries facing terrorism in the region.

"The effects of drug trafficking contribute to criminalization in society and weakening of institutions which in turn has an effect of stability," Prichard said.

"Drug trafficking is not just of pharmaceuticals, it is also about other illicit substances and that is an issue that Nigeria and the region should be aware of," he added.

Warning!!!!Warning!!!!

This is a long but important topic so I will be sure to break it down for those with low attention span.

The reading culture in 9ja is dead......

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) More than two million bottles of cough syrup containing codeine are being recalled to stop widespread abuse of the drug, the Nigerian health ministry has said.

The recall is based on recommendations from a recent committee report from anti-drug abuse agencies in the country, Christiana Adeyeye, Director- General, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control told CNN Monday.

"We asked all pharmaceutical companies producing codeine-cough syrups to recall the drugs. It was painstaking process that took six weeks but it is part of the steps we are taking to tackle codeine abuse in the country," Adeyeye said.

Codeine, an opioid pain reliever, is the second most commonly abused prescription drug in Nigeria, a 2016 report Nigerian Epidemiological Network on Drug Use found.

Analysis of opioid users in 12 treatment centers in the country showed that 69% had used tramadol, 21% had used codeine and heroin accounted for only 2% of admissions, the survey found.

The drug came under scrutiny last year after Nigeria's Senate claimed around three million bottles of codeine-based cough syrup were consumed daily in two states in the north of the country.

In March, Nigeria's anti-drug agency said its officials had intercepted 24,000 bottles of unregistered cough syrup in a single raid in Katsina, a state in northern Nigeria, local media reported.

Young addicts
Codeine-based cough syrups are commonly abused alongside prescription drugs like tramadol by young Nigerians, according to health officials in Nigeria.

"Even teenagers and young adults are abusing prescription drugs like tramadol, rophynol, codeine-cough syrups. Some are smuggled into the country as unregistered products," Adeyeye said, while calling for stricter punishment for drug smuggling in the country.

Marcus Odiegwu, a 19-year-old student, told CNN he combines several bottles of codeine-based cough syrups with crushed tramadol tablets to get high.

"I had friends that were taking codeine at that time. I saw the aftermath, and I liked it," Odiegwu said. "They will go off and on just like that. So I decided to try it one night, it felt cool, and I continued," he told CNN.

"I can do some crazy things when I am angry, but I don't take things personally when I take codeine. You might offend me, but I am too relaxed to bother," the student added.

People who become dependent on opioids may experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop and may need to take higher doses leading to addiction.

Odiegwu told CNN though he knows the health implications of codeine addiction, he is more bothered about its impact on his academics.

"I actually want to stop because I am having issues in school," said Odiegwu who said he was suspended after he was caught using drugs in school.

Nigeria banned the sale of over-the-counter sale of codeine in 2012 because of widespread abuse in the country. But that has not stopped easy access to the drug, according to users like Odiegwu.

"It's easy to get codeine or any drug in this present situation. Whether it is a pharmacy or not, you can get your drugs if you know who is selling them," he said.

"Some people buy in bulk with evidence that they want to use it for legal things or health purpose, but those are the people who sell it around," he added.

Broader link to crime
Glen Prichard is the coordinator for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Nigeria Response to Drugs and Related Organised Crime.

Prichard told CNN Nigeria's law enforcement responses to illicit drugs has improved in recent years.

However, the country remains a target because its population and market size make it an attractive destination for criminal networks trafficking pharmaceuticals in West Africa.

It is not just Nigeria, the UNODC warned illegal trade and growing abuse of synthetic opioids, are destabilizing parts of West Africa, especially in the Sahel region.

A very timely thread. I always tell my patients never to use plastic containers in a microwave because plastics emit carcinogens into the food you are heating. One of my patient argued with me years back that he uses "food grade plastics" which according to him us relatively"safe"...today, he is down with leukaemia. Plastic is plastic! If you must use a microwave (which you shouldn't use in the first place) then use hard glass to heat the food. Secondly, grilled meat (barbecue and suya) is another culprit for carcinogenesis! If you must eat meat, dry under the sun for weeks or metres over your stove area or open fireplace in a copper (not iron) caging apparatus like our grandmothers use to do in those days.

A word is enough for the wise

why not iron?

safarigirl:
It's really nobody's business how Kim Kardashian or Kanye choose to live their lives. Every mallam to his kettle, face your own perfect life and leave them be with their cellulite butt and demonic lives.

Kim never said her ass was natural, why the taunting? Face your wife's butt and leave another man's wife's butt. Sheesh! So many people in this country overly concerned with how others live their lives because something is obviously missing in yours.

True true, you be bitterleafsoup

If you don't know many 9ja babes are getting fake butt injections, implants trying to be like and they are having serious complications.

Zealoy:
U already got the height thats why its nothing to u lol, i could remember u are about 6.2ft tall pretty lady

Yes nice to meet again!

lezan:
And to think of it...these stupid politicians don’t have any known occupation before finding their way to the corridor of power. Example what was Dino Meleye known for? We masses are our own problem. Someone that couldn’t afford more than living in a rented apartment and all of a sudden starts buying luxury cars and houses. We are not asking the right questions and we are not picking our fight. We only have one common enemy ‘The Elites’

That is all that is it!

I want to use this moment and space as a public announcement.

Cough Syrup with Codeine is a cheap high that comes with an expensive health problem.
That problem is connected to your liver and kidneys if you can't afford dialysis three times a week don't indulge. If you don't want to die of a heart attack when your knocked out stop consuming.
It is addictive and can kill you....

lezan:
We need to start asking the right questions than fighting ourselves on social media. The elites don’t mean well for us! We are like ponds in their hand. How I wish Tuface did not back out of the protest that time ...maybe just maybe things would have changed... We need the enthusiasm of that magnitude to make the very change we want...Not APC kind of change! Cause as far as I’m concerned PDP is APC and APC is PDP... All of them na thief...but one is a bigger thief!

Haaaa to me da thiefing is equal....
All these people were in politics at age 20, 30 etc; They obviously don't know the job because they performance and outcome sucks.
We the people are the problem because we do nothing.

OneSentence:
the only reason I can fathom is if they are making money from it though they come here and talk like they are true nationalists who believe the man they are supporting will make the country better.

Nobody believes that man or any of these other old foolish politicians that are not tired of sucking the youths destiny.

lezan:
Obasanjo keeps blaming everybody but himself...Today he holds the record of longest serving Nigerian leader... If there is anyone to be blamed he should start with himself. Him and his generation failed Nigeria woefully. If he forgot the nation did not ‘Operation Feed The Nation’.
I am not partisan but enough of someone wanting to claim to be the only righteous leader in our land. If there is any leader that failed us as a nation, Obasanjo holds that record after serving as Military Head of State and coming back as a civilian president for 8 years. If only he has the love of the nation at heart he would have done half of what Madella did he South Africa.
That brings another argument...If only our youths will understand that all these elites don’t mean well for the masses. Na Government of we we! Chop make I chop!

The guy is the beginning of Nigeria's problem and he will always be a problem to us. That farm is our farm the people of the republic of Nigeria. He used Feed the Nation funds to build that farm, that was a loan not a grant we the people paid for OBJ's farm.

OneSentence:
well said. I was expecting him to name himself as a grand thief too.
by the way I hope you are making money from supporting this thief too cos all of them are recycled bunch of thieves...hope you are getting small change from atiku sha..

Anybody supporting these old thieves is a curse to his or her bloodline...

NOC1:
This is the most stupid article i have read today, all the nonsense we are seeing today was created and formulated under this ugly man watch.
Have we forgotten in haste how this senseless irredeemable bigot brought money politics into our legislature, a man who was said to be poor (according to immediate family and friends) prior to his ellection became supper rich, without no business.
How can we forget in haste the community cleansing carried out at Udi Bayelsa state, the Jos crisis, the three plane crashes, the death of Bola Ige, Maurice Ibekwe, Amah Iwuagwu, the shite massacre.
Oh the increase in fuel price, the saling out of government properties to friends with out due process. Eg NNPC staff quarters, Nicon hilton etc

I am so annoyed this night how can we be fooled always by the same criminal.

GeeString:
Again Messi is 5"7 not 5"5.

Neymar is 5"9 not 5"7.

But I know you're smarter than google.


Can you stop typing lies here please? Its getting irritating.


How can you tell me a 5"7 man is 'tall'?

5"10 is the usual standard for tall. Most futball players are short, that is the norm.

justflow1:
well... to me, i think this is more applicable to ladies whose parent are short and also short by causal inheritence. These ladies might have by one way or the other attended Gregor Mendels NHERITANCE classes, probably in their elementary schooling years.....
It is obvious that 2 wrongs cannot make a right. Funnily enough, xtremely tall ladies dont give much preference to their man's height.... They are rest assured that about 2/4 -3/4 of there kids would be tall........

Above all, the KUDI factor cannot be sold short . Have anyone seen Martin Freemans (that dude in lord of the rings) wife ?

Your right height of a man is nothing.

Omoluabi16:
I am also a fan of tall women.There is just this aura of confidence swagger and grace they posses.

Thanks

Odingo1:
Continue fucking them for a peanut, it is only Yoruba boys that see it as hitting jackpot when they manage to fuc.k Igbo girl as if Igbo girl toto is entirely different from any other women toto.

See Yorubas boys jubilating all over the thread about fucking Igbo toto while Igbo boys are busy steering their businesses and career to a greater height.

When they finish buying your father only left inheritance and you finish spending the money you got from selling your father property on Igbo girls toto then you will start shouting go back to your region we don't need you, give us our property back.

Finishing!!
