Codeine is a legal pharmaceutical product. It has its uses.
It is not within the authority of NDLEA to seize legal pharmaceutical products.

The above comment shows that you're not up to date on events concerning drugs regulation in Nigeria.

Codeine, tramadol and other opioids are currently banned in Nigeria.

wisdom042:
But I thought Codeine syrup is a cough medicine that is prescribed by medical doctor with certain dosage why are they now seizing it?

They're seizing it because many Nigerians now abuse it by using it to get "high'' due to its euphoric effect since it is an opioid.

If Nigeria had a coordinated system that ensures strict regulation of drugs distribution, wholesale and retails, there wouldn't have been any need to outrightly ban such drugs as codeine, tramadol and others. This is because strict regulation would ensure that these drugs are sold only by registered pharmacies and only upon prescription by a medical doctor, dentist or other qualified prescribers. That way, there would be accountability as pharmacists are trained on how to track such drugs and keep proper records of their use.

But in Nigeria, people sell drugs just for profit making while many are unconcerned about the impact of drugs on public health. It's just about profit and that's bad!!!

These importers are the ones killing the idea of coordinated wholesale and drug distribution centers in Nigeria! That idea of coordinated drug distribution was a very great one that would have helped checkmate the activities of these illicit drug dealers.

It involves centralizing drug wholesales and distribution such that all the players in the drug wholesale and distribution business are stationed where regulation would be easier. These places would have police stations and NDLEA posts, and superintendent pharmacists would be supervising flow of drugs in these markets. That arrangement would help put a stop to the current bastardized system that gives room to faking of drugs and facilitates activities of illicit drug dealers! But as usual, that noble idea seems to have been killed!

Imagine that NAFDAC doesn't even have access to our current open drug markets! The last time NAFDAC tried entering bridge head open drug market, they were attacked and chased away by these merchants of fake drugs and deaths! The reason why governments fold their arms and watch these guys send Nigerians to their early graves is what I cannot fathom.

If the Coordinated whole centers were already in place, it would help lessen the burdens on NDLEA so that they'll concentrate on the higher classes of illicit drugs. I wonder why that noble idea has yet to take effect?!! Initially, 2019 was set as the deadline for implementation of that idea, this is 2022 and nobody hears anything about it anymore! Is Nigeria not cursed??!!!!!

Omo!!
I suffered in LUTH yesterday as a relative.

My crime, accompanying my mother for an endoscopy, as the requirement was a responsible adult present with you for the test

What kind of hospital paypoint only accept cash payment. An entire teaching hospital. So disgraceful.


I was so frustrated. If not because my mum was vexed with the way she was treated in a general hospital, she wouldn't have gone to LUTH. HONESTLY!!

The thing is tiring. Imagine waiting for up to three months before consulting a doctor! Yet we keep producing doctors and other healthcare professionals for other countries to employ. Before getting some tests done, you have to wait for eternity. Yet this lawmaker is busy chasing shadow instead of dealing with the real issue.

a man is directly or indirectly alone,married or single.





life is unfair to men!

You're very right on this. That's what I have always told people when they lie about how marriage is for companionship and all that.
Most married men are alone! Nothing like companionship from their wives. That is why some seek fun with younger girls outside or take to drinking beer to make themselves happy.

That lawmaker must be high on some sh1t!

You want to stop health workers from embarking on strikes so you can finally kill and bury our health sector Instead of pressuring the governments to improve the welfare of these health workers, you're there sponsoring a useless bill!

Go to our teaching hospitals and you'll cry because of the harsh conditions under which our health care professionals are working. Poor salaries and allowances, fewer hands to attend to multitudes of Nigerians trooping into the hospitals daily, obsolete equipment etc.

Check how long it takes a sick person to consult a specialist doctor in our teaching hospitals! Sometimes it's up to 3 months! Is that supposed to be Why can't we have a system that ensures continuous supply of specialist physicians and other healthcare professionals in this country To ensure that Nigerians don't waste time and resources before they're attended to in our hospitals! Many have died in the process of waiting for appointments to see doctors! These are the things the lawmaker should be concerned about, not that obnoxious bill.

Happy that he lost his loved ones to the rots that have bedeviled our hospitals. May he lose more of his people if he fails to do the right thing. Many of us have equally lost people to the bad healthcare system, but because we're not politicians, nobody hears our cries!

So, I pray that more politicians and their loved ones die from the messed up system, perhaps that is when they'll see the need to revamp our comatose healthcare system.

Cleanworld:
SHUT UP YOUR TRASH TRAPPED MOUTH, THIS DAYS MEN AND WOMEN EQUALLY TAKE UP THEIR RESPONSILITIES. ITS NO LONGER THE WAY IT USE TO BE UNLESS YOU MARRY A LADY THAT DOESN'T GO TO SCHOOL OR OWN HER BUSINESSTHOSE ONES ARE NOTTING BUT LIABILITIES . YOU MIGHT CATER FOR SOMETHINGS IN THE INITIAL TIME WHEN WOMAN REALISED THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE SHE WILL BUCKLE UP AND BE EVEN MORE RESPONSILBE THAN YOU.

Them go just they talk trash as if no be their mother they pay school fees.

YOU'RE AN ILLITERATE

Op, I can understand your plight.
The reason is that an average Nigerian girl is not interesting to be with and to make matters worse, they don't even make attempts to improve on themselves since they believe that only the guy has the responsibility to bring everything into the relationship---the fun, the funds, etc. Many of them can't even hold conversations.

So, after enduring a few months of boredom, it is only natural for you to lose interest.

@op, these 'end time children' will not understand what you're implying. They always learn the hard way!

I might not like the lifestyle of this bobrisky guy but I can't help but notice the jealousy being exhibited by our nairaland resident slay mamas on this thread.

Another skit

Mhen...

E no get as e won be wey e never be before, Money Juju must have been as old as prostitution that's if its not older than Olosho sef,

It has come to stay and it ain't going anywhere, all we can do is curb this menace eating up our society.
How do we do that?
1. Families as in parents have a role to play in their wards upbringing.
2. Government has a greater one to play in making sure that this Children raised well are not tempted to indulge in illegal means of money making by providing job security and all the needed amenities these families has paid for through tax.

But the reverse is the case , you can argue with your phone when you don't want to accept that our Government is the major problem of our bleeped up society as the greatest ritualist and yahoo boys are our politicians.

You're very correct, brother.

Our thoughtless and wicked politicians should take the bulk of the blame for the rots in our society today.


How I wish Nigerians can learn to target our corrupt politicians and mete out jungle justice on them. It'll help a lot in making sure that only the honest and competent ones present themselves for elections in this country.

Hassanmaye:
True, all my friends are eager to go back for masters degree while they are not yet financially stable, I told I would not do that

Honestly, it hardly works that way. You'll spend so much energy and fund on those higher degrees only to remain unemployed after graduation.

Great0ne1:
Am sure most men wouldn't mind switching roles. You take up the role of breadwinner and fulfill your dream, let the man take up your responsibility.

Don't mind that frustrated lady! She'll still bittch about and tag the man a weakling if roles were to be reversed.

I'm sure that if it were possible for men to carry pregnancy, many men would have gladly carried pregnancies for their wives because that is nothing compared to the sacrifices men make just to keep their women happy. But many ungrateful women like op are too dishonest to appreciate all the sacrifices.

Ankapaige:
We live in a country whereby most of the degrees we acquired do not correlate with our jobs. I graduated from the Department of Political science & International relations, but I currently work in a heavy equipment operator training firm where I am earning well. Most of our trainee operators earn more than what some firms or banks can pay their employees in a month. We have trained Ph.D. holders, masters, and even BSc graduates to operate heavy machinery. Therefore, working in a company or a bank as an accountant does not mean good pay. some bank workers are earning between 50k to 100k depending on their duties and ranks. Maybe he is earning more as a laborer.

It is not always about pay my friend! It is about applying your knowledge and skills where it is more appropriate. That is what would guarantee job satisfaction!

I'm sure this man would have preferred working with his degrees as a lecturer in a university or as a researcher in a research institution or other organizations, but the corruption and nepotism in Nigeria hindered him. It's unfortunate!

People! Never you make the mistake of studying higher degrees without a job first, especially PhD. It usually doesn't end well for the person.

Fake story!

Brenda Fassie.

I actually cried the day she died.

This op is really BORED, obviously due to joblessness and loneliness!
It is funny how she thinks herself a better woman even when everything about her points to the fact that she is undesirable, lifeless, lonely, hence the boredom that has become her life.

Reminds me of one mad woman in my neighborhood who is always first to call others mad.

Irony of life...

The Nigerian police need to incorporate courses on the dangers of professional quackery in the society into their training curriculum.

The manner they handle issues related to quackery is appalling. It's as though they don't care about the millions of Nigerians that have lost their lives to these quacks. That's why they handle these quacks with kid's gloves.

People kill others in this country using drugs, unprofessional surgical procedures etc and go scot free. It's not fair!

elmas:
By not eating her food?

The condition I'll put her in may not even permit her to cook food.

I will never be scared of marriage for fear of being cheated on by my wife.

I won't even lose sleep on account of a cheating wife. I can't torture myself for another's indiscretion.

But one thing is sure, I'll definitely know when my wife starts cheating, and trust me, I'll not be the one to divorce her. But she'll wish she got divorced because I'll happily put her in a condition that's more terrible than being divorced.


Shalom

Death sentence to them!

Fools disgracing the great Igbo nation everywhere in the world

Please how do people manage to harden their hearts to the point of snuffing life out of others without their consciences judging them I'm asking because I want to learn how to harden my own small, though I won't kill anybody.

I can imagine the girl crying, pleading and struggling for her life, all to no avail. Terrible!

Adakintroy:
The knowledge matter pass the money. Yes the money is very important. But not as much as the knowledge gain in yrs of work.

If you learn the work well you go strive. If you no learn am well even if them settle you with one million he go turn vapour.

Person weh Sabi cook na just crafish, oil, and maybe icefish, you go give am something tasty go come out. Person weh no Sabi give am okporoko, goat meat na still pottyy you go taste.

You people should stop typing rubbish here and trying to justify the cruelty these guys face in the hands of their evil bosses. If the boy wanted just the knowledge, it would have been a different arrangement! And he wouldn't have spent up to 9 solid years with the man.

The money is the koko! We have seen many people who faced similar fates after serving their masters for so long. They got settled with paltry sums that couldn't help them in any way to start off. While few of them were lucky to get help from relatives, many were not that lucky and eventually could not make any headways but resorted to doing odd jobs to survive.

These evil bosses should be called out and made to understand that slavery is no longer condoned in this modern time. Wicked souls!

yunqdady:
All your posts on nairaland.com points to the fact that you are a bitter person

Nice observation from you!

Keep observing me while I catch my cruise on nairaland!

bidexdo:
Yeah my guy, those hoes now see men are now wiser now

Any guy that come to this forum and did not learn that guy can never learn again

Those hoes aren't loyal

They must cry very well

No more maga here only social media

Lol...the thing is really paining them. You know, most of them come here to look for "abroad" magas.

Nigerian girls are more boring!

Or as usual, should we overlook their own faults while emphasizing about those of guys

You know, for you females, accountability is expected only from the male gender.

Red pillers are really doing a great job here! It's clear that the deceptive vaginarians are no longer getting worshiped by guys here, hence they're crying.

No more magas to milk from this site like in other platforms. Kudos, guys!

Ubunja deserves a title on this platform for all his miseducation!

The golden rule is very simple .. "Accord same respect to every individual". Do not become the weak man the society is trying to build..
If anyone love you , love back ..
If anyone hate you hate back..
If anyone hit you hit back ....

Exactly! As simple as that.

That oil and gas part got me LMAO


Well done, babes. Anytime I enter Asaba, I'll come and enjoy at hustlevile.

worriedhubby:
Sadly, I didn't do any background check. Most of the stuffs I am learning about her family is in the last 3 years. And they are scary!

That's where the problem stemmed from. Family background matters a lot in choosing a spouse.


I think you should warn her sternly about running from one fake prophet to another. Let her choose between remaining married to you and doing what she's currently doing. Stop being soft and trying to prove your innocence. She's preying on your softness about the matter. I'm almost certain she knows what she's doing!
