Biglittlelois:



So we should as well embrace boko haram's mentality? We should shun western education?

If human existence is being threatened by the nonsense you spewed, why not start the campaign by destroying your phone, burning all your clothes and earthly posessions, denouncing the little education your little brain could absolve, then run into the bush stark naked and empty handed, to start a nomadic stone age civilisation that best suits you.

The sick mentality of lots of people here......

So, all your little brain could think of is that I support Boko Haram? Much as I don't support Boko Haram and their violent ways, I also understand that they are fighting to correct one of the negative sides of Western education and civilization,,,which is the destruction of the traditional family system.

Every right thinking individual understands that education, especially women's education, tends to destroy the traditional family system. Women who are empowered via education and employment would still want the men to be the traditional men who are seen as the sole providers yet these women would not stick to their own traditional roles of being submissive to their husbands and taking care of the children and the house generally. This is the reason why many men are not interested in marriage these days.

Or are you not seeing the alarming number of unmarried men and women in the society Don't you realize that such situation threatens human existence on earth

Western education and civilization are good but we have to work on maintaining the family unit. If women know that they're not ready to change their mindset from what they think a man's role is in the family to the mindset that aligns with the current reality of women empowerment, then it is better to stop all the hue and cry about gender equality, girl-child education and women empowerment. We must then withdraw our women from schools and work places so they can go back to their husbands' houses and become that submissive traditional wives for whom traditional men paid dowry and catered for. The Taliban did it in Afghanistan, so we can as well do it here. You don't expect to eat your cake and still have it.

Education has no impact in Nigeria because what we receive here is junk education!
That is why even PhD holders in Nigeria think and reason in no different way from a motor park tout.

People go to schools in this country just to belong to the class of school goers. Same thing applies to religion.

APOPTOSIS:
I'm yet to believe such.
And people are still this calm in that country...
No protests. Nigerians are amazing people.

Even the Soldiers who are not exempted from these sufferings, who ought to ensure total sanitation of this madness have also become pregnant women in this context, despite their meagre pays and allowances.

Exactly the problem!

If civilians want to protest, it is still the same soldiers and policemen ....who are also suffering with us, that the wicked politicians would send to shoot the protesters. That's why I don't pity the soldiers and policemen one bit.

The guy did well. I like what he did

Everybody can now understand why the likes of Boko Haram are against western education.
It destroys the traditional family values and keep the two genders at loggerheads as both men and women appear to be in contest of who is smarter than the other. No gender wants to 'gree' for the other.

Continuity of human existence is clearly threatened by the above scenario.

Your wife really fvvcked up!

I believe that couples should be very open to each other to point that they can share their little dirty secrets and keep it only among themselves like some partners in "crime". They should share their dirtiest sexual fantasies and try to fulfill these fantasies together where possible or help each other to jettison any such fantasies that maybe unhealthy for their marriage.

This level of closeness will not only help to cement their union but would help them to detect when any of them is about to stray.

VeryWickedMan:
You are fucking a man 18 years older than you but angry he bleeps your mom who is his age mate.

You people should stop this age mate talk abeg! How many people can marry their age mates in Nigeria

Your female age mates mature and marry even before you finish secondary school, not to talk of when you finish university, serve, job hunt and by the time you're ready for marriage, all of your female age mates would have been married. By that time the girls who would be available for marriage are those who might even be 20years younger than you. I really think that some of you small boys should stop seeing matured men marrying younger girls as rivals.

I know that some of you react to such marriages out of jealousy; thinking that the older dude is intimidating you with his money. That was why many of you cried when Ned Woko married Regina Daniels. You should get used to how marriages work here because your whining can't change it. Don't worry, by the time you're ready to marry, you'll also collect someone's younger girlfriend LOL


Sorry I had to digress and address this matter.

Mods please, help move to front page!

This is a critical matter.

I have always wondered why Nigeria is the only country that pay lip service to regulation of therapeutic drugs, yet we complain about poor healthcare system! Is it that our health policy makers are too ignorant to see the link between poorly regulated drug distribution system and poor healthcare delivery system

When regulation of drug market is poor, it negatively impact the healthcare system in the following ways:

1. Fake drugs--- one of the consequences of not regulating therapeutic drug distribution is that merchants of fake drugs would operate freely. Fake drugs lead to treatment failures, injuries and death. Imagine a situation where a patient is being treated of malaria with a fake antimalarial medication, the doctor believes that he is giving the right medication but the patient would rather continue to deteriorate until the sickness gets complicated and eventually death follows. This case also applies to other diseases. Nigeria is one of the countries with very low life expectancy. Even Ghana has higher life expectancy compared to Nigeria. Fake drugs contribute greatly to high death rate and low life expectancy! Is it that our health policy makers can't connect the dots or what If they understand all these things, why then is it that they don't take drastic measures to curtail the menace of fake drugs distribution Why would they choose to play politics with something as critical as human life

2. Health tourism: Nigeria has the potentials to become a health tourism destination not only for other African countries but even for people from other continents. This is because, just like India, we have the best brains in medicine and other healthcare professions. However, because we haven't gotten things right with our drug distribution policies, people don't have confidence in our healthcare system. Nobody wants to die in our hospitals due to fake drugs.

3. It encourages Criminal activities: Some of the drugs used for therapeutic purposes have the ability to act on the brain and alter the mind, example is the class of drugs known as the Benzodiazepines which is used to treat conditions such as anxiety, convulsions and insomnia. Rapists use such drugs to sedate their victims before raping them( Recall the case of Cynthia Osokogu). Kidnappers also use such drugs. Unfortunately, these drugs are sold in Nigeria even without prescription, no thanks to open and unregulated drug markets which makes it possible for everybody to have access to these drugs. Another example of such drugs is tramadol and other opioids which have the ability to numb the mind and body thereby making users to act without emotions. The "highness" caused by this class of drugs also give criminals courage to carry out operations without fear of security agencies. These mind-altering drugs are supposed to be dispensed only by qualified Pharmacists upon prescription by qualified medical doctors. After dispensing such drugs, the Pharmacists ought to fill out a form that helps the authorities keep track of use of such drugs. The Pharmacist is also supposed to retain the prescription form in the pharmacy because that will save him from prosecution in case of any eventualities.
All these things were taught to us while in Pharmacy school, but when I left school and started practising, I discovered that people don't even pay attention to all the regulatory processes, not even medical doctors! Tell me why Nigeria would not have high crime rate and increasing number of mentally ill individuals

4. Difficulty in product recall in the event of serious adverse drug reactions: Usually, when a drug product is discovered to cause serious adverse reaction along the distribution chain, a recall process is activated to take such drugs off the shelves and return them to the manufacturers. This process is supposed to be initiated by NAFDAC through what is known as PHARMACOVIGILANCE. However, due to the chaotic nature of the Nigerian drug distribution system, this recall process is ineffective in Nigeria. This is because the majority of the people involved in the value chain of drug distribution in Nigeria are charlatans who have zero knowledge about drugs. So, they don't even know what to do in the event of such adverse drug reactions. MY PIKIN teething product killed many innocent kids before it got completely recalled because of this poor distribution system. I wonder what will happen if a deadlier product enters the market in the future. It'll be bloody!

The list goes on!

All over the world, the Pharmacist is the only trained health professional with the mandate to make, distribute, regulate and dispense drugs. He is under oath to ensure that the drugs getting to the end users are wholesome and meets all the regulatory standards. But here in Nigeria, people believe in cutting corners and there's always this believe that "anything goes" in Nigeria. So, instead of going to Pharmacy school to train as Pharmacists so they can gain knowledge of drugs or employing Pharmacists to man their business, they rather evade all regulatory standards specified by the drug laws and official books thereby making a mess of the system and sending many unsuspecting Nigerians to their early graves.
This problem is worsened by the fact that the majority of the people are ignorant of the fact that drugs can actually kill as much as it treats diseases. Drugs kill subtly and there's hardly a forensic mechanism in place to enable patients and their relatives seek redress from the courts in the event of injury or death arising from use of therapeutic drugs.

Another problem that militate against proper drug regulation is the unnecessary rivalry between Nigerian Pharmacists and medical doctors. In the developed nations, the Pharmacists and medical doctors work in agreement to foster good healthcare but here in Nigeria, the two professions seem to be in unending rivalry to the detriment of the patients. The Nigerian medical doctors have refused to stop being insecure and concentrate on the broad field of medicine. Instead, they want to usurp the duties of the Pharmacists even with their limited knowledge of drugs. Medicine is so wide and Nigeria is grossly lacking experts in the various specialties of medicine, but our medical doctors would rather drag space with Pharmacists and other healthcare professionals instead of striving to meet up with the nation's need for experts in the various specialties of medicine. This unnecessary bickering between the two professionals contribute to the problem of poorly regulated drug distribution system because the majority of those at the helm of affairs in the health sector are medical doctors and since pharmaceutical sector is under the ministry of health, the doctors have continued to be a stumbling block to the progress of Pharmacy in the country. Take for instance, the national drug distribution guideline (NDDG) which was initiated by the federal government. That policy was well thought out and was arrived at after a thorough engagement of experts in the pharmaceutical sector, but till today it is yet to take effect just because some uninformed medical doctors in the ministry of health and NMA are not in support of it. They are not in support of it because they had been taking advantage of the chaotic drug distribution system for their selfish gains and at the detriment of Nigerians.

Therefore, it is very important that every well meaning Nigerians should rise up to the occasion and prevail on the Nigerian medical doctors to focus on medical practice and leave the issues of drugs and drug regulation to Pharmacists! Nobody else can regulate drugs better than the one who makes the drugs and which is the Pharmacist! The rivalry is uncalled for because the Pharmacists know their scope of work, and right from Pharmacy schools, they're made to understand the need not to go beyond their scope.

EreluRoz:
What a response

See the mindset of a potential baby daddy

But that's the truth nau.

EreluRoz:
They give it to guys they like Yes but these guys are mostly not with genuine intentions which makes them end up single mothers

Giving it to the guys they like means that it is their desire to have sex, so the guy's intention is immaterial. In fact, guys should even start charging money for meeting up the bodily cravings of such ladies.


Except in the event of rape, I believe that guys should not be held responsible for pregnancies resulting from consensual sex with ladies.

EreluRoz:
And single dads too

Women are the gatekeepers of sex. They determine if sex would happen or not and they usually give sex to the guys they like. So, that is why they're mostly blamed for the consequences of premarital sex.

Tjra:

They are Professionals na. Feelings no fit dey while doing a job.

BTW, do you get wet easily?

No amount of professionalism would prevent one from getting a hard-on while kissing and smooching those pretty ladies in movies. I've seen some actors get really aroused during such scenes in movies.

Rest on Barrister Samuel Sochukwuma Okwaraji



A lawyer and a footballer

EreluRoz:
Stop stigmatizing single moms, irresponsible men make them single mom. Let's talk about single dad for once

And it takes an irresponsible lady to sleep with irresponsible men! So you see, single moms are not innocent.

I know that even the current economic hardship will not stop Nigerians from voting rubbish during next general election because Nigeria is full of tribal and religious bigots who would rather get everybody drowned in hardship so long as their tribesmen are in power.

The devil is fully in charge of Nigeria and it reflects in the pattern of voting in this country

Being a single mom is a sign of irresponsibility. It takes an irresponsible lady who cannot reason properly to open her legs for an irresponsible jerk!

So op, if you decide to allow yourself get blackmailed into marrying a single mom, OYO.

If you tell Igbo ladies to marry early so they can have children, they'll prefer prostituting themselves until they damage their reproductive systems. Later they'll start looking for baby factories and poor people to buy or steal children from.


Nonsense and ingredients!

Negroid001:


Wahala. I know a lot people like you in real life. Over sabi online warriors. But losers in real life. Please don't quote or mention me again. Giving losers like you attention is not worth it.

You're giving immature vibes. Juvenile!

You're the loser here! Simply admit that you were wrong and take correction, you're there trying to claim right.

As a matter of fact, you're the one who's being immature!

Negroid001:

Go and check your english dictionary. Mr over sabi.

I've checked my dictionary and your definition did not come close. BTW, we wouldn't be having this latest argument if you hadn't tried to be smart by half by trying to give a wrong meaning just to make it seem like you're right.

Negroid001:


Anyone who is of age and still making wrong and immature decisions is a juvenile.
I'm not talking in context of age.

We have 26 year olds already mothering kids

Are you trying to give the word a different meaning just to cover up your error? Because what you wrote up there is not what the word 'juvenile' is.

100smile:


Since you were involved with a 26 year old, i was thinking you should be between 27 to 30 years old, cus 'you can't be 30+ and simping over a 26 year old juvenile'. Nor vex.

How old are you??

26 years old is a juvenile

Illiterate!!!

The north will eventually utilize their population advantage to achieve political domination and possibly islamize Nigeria in a short while.

This is because while southerners are busy imbibing western lifestyles, north has continued to remain conservative. In south, you'll see men in their 40s and 50s still unmarried while their mates up north already have grandchildren. You'll also see a very large number of spinsters loitering everywhere and pretending to be single and happy whilst in the north it's consider a taboo for ladies to still be single at a certain age.

Now, some "woke" southerners would think that we are better off the way we are, but the truth remains that as long as we remain one Nigeria, we are setting ourselves up for total domination and possibly annihilation. I hope it'll end with political domination and 'islamization'.

You think that northern leaders are fools when they spend money on mass weddings like this They have an agenda but foolish southerners would not understand. How I wish that Tinubu would be wise enough to at least restructure this country and make each geopolitical zone semi-independent with little power at the federal level.

This is the reason why I don't pity any girl who comes crying that she got dumped or heartbroken by a guy. I've noticed that once a girl sees that you're deeply into her, there's 99% chance that she'll reject you. She'll rather prefer going after guys who care less about her, then when she gets her fingers burnt she'll start accusing men of being "scums".

They forget that men should be the ones hunting for women they fancy and not the other way round. Marriage and relationships place alot of responsibilities on men and it takes a man who adores his woman to shoulder those responsibilities with little or no grudges.

Las las, all guys would absorb the red pill knowledge and the the consequence is that more women would suffer in relationships and marriages. Of course, they shouldn't blame anybody when they start suffering the consequences because they caused it all. You can't continue to humiliate and degrade guys who have genuine interest in you (aka simps) and expect nature not to give you heartless jerks (red pillers) as partners.

And how many men have you dumped/hurt in the past? Care to tell us?

Maybe karma is visiting you for all the good men you broke their hearts, so stop whining.

Theoarhics:


Do you even look at the positive part? Do you know how much they generate as revenue to the economy? Do you know how easy and efficient they have made drugs available to the doctor and pharmacies and patients alike? Do you know that if you let only the pharmacists sell and trade on these drugs they will not be able to meet the demand? Do you know the calamity it would cost by stopping these people from selling these drugs? If you tell they shouldn't sell to the end users it is understandable, but if you tell me they should not sell or supply to the registered doctors and pharmacies for onward prescription and administration then you are wrong

They're causing more calamities to the economy than whatever benefits you think they're offering. Meanwhile, nobody wants to stop the genuine ones among them from doing business. But there is a new guideline on how they're to operate which entails relocating to new centers where they can be properly regulated by PCN, NAFDAC and NDLEA. Why are they trying to resist that noble idea of government If not that they have some skeletons in their cupboards? The genuine business men among them should help facilitate their relocation to coordinated wholesale centers because that would help separate the genuine ones from fake drug merchants, and I'm very sure the genuine dealers would enjoy the move if it eventually takes effect.

[quote author=Theoarhics post=128187524][/quote] I don't blame you. I blame the corrupt government officials that take bribes from them and look the other way while they send many Nigerians to their early graves. But I'm sure that sooner than later the truth will prevail and they'll not only be stopped but some of them would be prosecuted for all the havock they've been causing in our health system.

Theoarhics:
To sell drugs ... Nope.

Those people selling drugs in Onitsha and Dumota didn't even go to school . But you need to go to school to prescribe, practice and administer medicine.

Those people are operating illegally and I am sure that sooner than later they'll not be there anymore.

Drugs not like other commodities that you just trade on anyhow. They are strictly regulated by laws because much as they can be used to cure illnesses, they can also cause injury or even death. Many people are mad and roaming the streets today because of abuse of certain prescription drugs.
Rapists And other criminals also use some of these drugs for their activities.

Disease burdens have been created in Nigeria due to indiscriminate use of drugs such as antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. We're complaining that Nigeria doesn't produce these drugs, yet we keep making disease-causing organisms resistant to the drugs we manage to import due to indiscriminate use.

Our healthcare index and life expectancy is one of the poorest in the world and indiscriminate use of drugs is one of the contributing factors.

So, those people at bridgehead market and other open drugs markets are rather making money at the detriment of Nigerians. They're illegal because the law does not recognize them. They're only taking advantage of corruption in the country! A law has been put in place to relocate them to a better environment where they'll be better supervised by Pharmacists and other agencies of government involved in drug regulation, but they connive with corrupt government officials to frustrate the efforts.

However, I'm sure that their days are numbered because evil never triumphs over good.

Odidigboigbo:
So OP doesn't need to study pharmacy before he can operate, if he has the required capital.

Yeah...if he has the capital, he can approach a Pharmacist for business

Odidigboigbo:
To best of my knowledge, 80% of pharmacy in Nigeria are own by purely businessmen that are not Pharmacist

80% is an exaggeration. And those non-pharmacists owning Pharmacy premises have a Pharmacist who registered the business and are supposed to be there to supervise activities in the premises.

So yes, a non-pharmacist can own a pharmacy business but the business must be run by a Pharmacist. That is how it works.

Only Pharmacists are licensed to dispense(sell) drugs and also counsel patients on how to safely use their drugs.

A doctor can prescribe but only Pharmacists sell. This is because Pharmacists are the only ones with requisite training on drugs from storage, to drug interactions to drug therapy problems etc.
