Have u listened to urself? Some investigative reporter caught one of their sales person doing what?

If you're an investigative journalist you can actually get anyone in Nigeria including the NaFDAC. Yes I listened to myself, you should try it sometimes, appraise your reasoning before pouring it out.

Lucid1:
What's wrong with acting on a tip or based on foreign intelligence?

It's akin to saying because the police receives Intel on a possible terror threat, they shouldn't act because the intel didn't originate from their domestic sources.

We should shun cynicism and embrace objectivity.

Not saying they shouldn't act based on Intel. But not leaving the other things undone. Waking up from slumber and shutting the entire company down?

toluxa1:
That's why I said they have a decent percentage of that. Even if it's 10%. That's 300k bottles doing the illegal route every blessed day. No way they can be selling even 100,000 bottles to people with cough daily. When no be say na Sahara desert we dey live. So all those companies are aware of the reason they make so much sales.

Are you aware that if NAfDAC is functioning properly, they'll regulate the numbers per manufacturer?


The point is NAFDAC is dead to their tasks and only wake up because of the press, which is wrong. Who told u NaFDAC staff ain't selling codene? Go to their office in Ikoyi and tell them you have a large shipment of codene from India and see how they'll do business with you.

Nigeria is messed up bro.

patani:
Thanks for giving the idiot this simple answer...He couldn't use his brain to know that pharmaceutical companies and pharmacist have responsibility to control certain drugs from being sold to the general public(Emzor, nd the likes along with their personnel, who at a time might have sworn to this oath have breached these)...I pray Nigerians realize oneday that we all have collective effort to move this country forward. The same attitude the guy portrayed is what lot of us portray while government is fighting corruption. I keep saying it, Nigerians do not deserve a better Nigeria...

Idiot? Just because my opinion differs from yours? It tells how you were raised.

rusher14:
You doubt what?

Not everyone plays at your lower league level.

My higher league level, well done..


You are the type that switch to insult when u have no points to make.. Goodluck!

toluxa1:
Very good! The company is well aware of the massive abuse. 3 Million bottles daily and I'm sure their products are a decent percentage of that number.

We need statistics to be sure of that, you know.. Since its not only Emzor that manufacture those stuffs

rusher14:
It saddens me to see our society full of shitty narrative.

So many brain-dead Nigerians.

How can we evolve for the better?

You had to switch to insult me.

Like I said earlier you have a problem, your mental matter is maggot eaten.

We are discussing and next thing is insult? How old are you?

You shut down emzor for codene, is it only codene they manufacture? Is NAFDAC dead all these while or just because of the press that they're now forced to do their job?

Dude, you have mental issues, if in a normal discussion you had to resort to insults.

Grow up

onegig:
Kindly ignore that guy. They always bury their heads in the mud and always expect government to do everything.

You can't blame him. Most are educated illiterates who just know how to read and write. Like the company does not know there's a major increase in the consumption of the drugs and just kept churning out drugs they knew was a control substance?

The government shouldn't do everything, but what had it done.

Why is it that silly people that support government can't ever be truthful and say things like they are? Wtf is my business with the govt? You sure have issues.

rusher14:
There is nothing to understand.

We do not have a cough epidemic.

Should these manufacturers have witnessed a disproportionate increase in demand they should have cried out even if it was strictly for cough.

Anywhere else in the developed world and they might have their licences revoked.

Enough with your 3rd world reasoning.

Mr 1st world Reasoner, we are not even in the same time zone and I doubt if you've even been to the developed world you now represent.

Your mentality is bruised.. Codene is not mainly Emzors, lots of imported products fill the market, other manufacturers do, its just that Emzor got caught in a web by an investigative journalist.

There is no point arguing with you Mr 1st world country reasoner.. Its a bit lugubrious that most people that have never left the shore of the country always claim to have superior argument on behalf of the developed world.


Please cite an instance anywhere in the world where a pharmaceutical company was fined for manufacturing several legitimate drugs more than 'supposed' market demands.

The companies work with regulatory agencies to understand the market.. In Nigeria the regulatory agency is dead but awake after media onslaught.


Shut up Mr develop world reasoner..

It is with solemnity and honour that I freely and publicly make these PLEDGES.
So help me GOD.



I have said it that only in Nigeria would you find people putting up such defence.
Don't you guys get tired of supporting evil?
Would your society evolve for the better with your view point?

Dude, unfortunately for you, you're not interested in understanding someone else's point of view.

They produced drugs and sell towards saving lives, someone abuses a legitimate drug, what's should the company do? Is it the company that will enforce selling drugs only based on prescriptions?


You mentally shut down your mind to other opinions. Do you realize that codene is for legitimate purposes? Are you aware it's not exclusively emzor? The only reason Emzor is in this is because some investigative reporter caught one of their sales person.


Who should enforce some sort of prescription for drugs pharmacy? Who should measure the country in identifying drug abuse? Should the pharmaceutical companies figure out if the masses are abusing any certain drug?


I'll give u an analogy, Nigerians seldom pour acid on people for whatever reason, should the government ban acids or close down the manufacturers? You can still get acid to buy if you know where...


So sometimes read and listen to understand not to provide response..

rusher14:
Emzor and the likes cannot claim they didn't realise a disproportionate hike in demand of a product that is strictly a medicine one that could be abused.

When you start churning out medicines like you would beverages it means you are encouraging abuse.

A massive fine should be imposed on these pharmaceutical companies who participated in encouraging abuse of this product well against the ethics of the profession.

I see Nigerians above me once again supporting evil because that is their latest fad.

Nigeria would never be that country you desire it to be as long as your immediate reaction is cynicism and hate.

How did they encourage abuse? The NAFDAC that didn't do their job, Who should fine them?

Emzor and others produced legitimate drugs and sell. It's not their headache that its abused, its the ministry of health that should figure that out.. Not sure they have a functional minister though, had this been d Ebola era, maybe-just maybe Nigeria may have been decongested (pun intended).


They are supposed to churn out medicine even much more than beverages so people get treated properly and with the right drugs. Don't be overly sentimental.


All the fines the govt have collected, what were they used for? Relooted I suppose

Reta.rd.ed government agency.


It took a news outlet to even draw their attention to their job.

Emzor have done no wrong you reta.rded NafDac, codene is a legitimate drug and now abused.. I learnt those drug Abusers sniff excreta in soak always, NAFDAC should go and seal off all bricklayers... Confused lots!

Even the fast food joints, the KFC, TFC and other smaller outlets are germs and diseases distributing outlets, but I'm sure NAFDAC will never never find out.


If they did their job, the country won't even be here in the first place.. Go to their office and meet their staff that sells accreditation, sieze and resell drugs and food supplements.. Bunch of thieves!

HtwoOw:
Mr Voltron the Defender of the Corrupted ones


The Value of 3 Billion then today is 1 Trillion naira today

That's a special course in accountancy , Value of 1

And that makes you the defender of the present corrupt ones since I am defending the corrupted according to you.


Dude, your mentality is bruised. You can't accuse a thief for the current value of an item. It makes no sense, except the judge declares it so. who makes you a judge or jury?



They stole, what value was it then and who proved it? No matter how much we hate to agree, our legal system assumes everyone is innocent until proven guilty. If the current leadership of the country can't prove they are guilty, then they are not.


The current government is plain retarded and stupid.. They have all the powers in the country, catch the thieves, prove they are thieves, lock them or kill them.. But spare us the salty unproven details, we can't do anything about it.



Once again, a pastor sowing the discord of hatred via unproven allegations is a liar and devilish too

justtoodark:
biafra of death....

Yeah, death to Biafra! Life to Nigeria.



Say something else... I'm sure your mentality is too colonized to figure out anything else

3 billion a dollars equivalent to 1 trillion naira.

First 3 billion USD wasn't equivalent to 1 triliona naira then, the current retards in power screw things up this bad... As at 2013, it was still less than half a trillion


We are still deliberating on $2.1 B and the government is cooking another...


Pastor liar!

The news media publishing such its either some childish owned abs managed outlet or packed with bunch of misfits..

uba1991:
Bad news for children of HATE. You will continue lamenting till 2023

Please what'd the bad news? Did you even read the post? Be objective even if its just this once.

pweetiedee:
Find mine? I have a life.

You're bitter. If your eyes work perfectly, you'll notice I didn't write bitter.

Pele sogbo

Already spewing insults, how are u different from the CeeC you loathe?

pweetiedee:
She said she does not regret her actions and what you saw in BBnaija is the real her.

To be honest, her character isn't inspiring. Let's call a spade a spade.

No one is perfect, but we need to control our anger and stop putting people down. She called Nina a dustbin, put Alex down too. Is that inspiring?

If you are to choose between Adesua and Cee C, who would you choose. She needs to change, now she is making friends with Nina just because she feels Alex snatched Tobi from her. Didn't she call Nina a dustbin?

Reporter or analyst or blogger - which are you?


She's bitter, she's bad, she's this, she's that- so? How does that even affect you?

Let her live her life_ go find yours.

Im ashamed of the country of my birth.. shame on Nigeria.

Overzealousness couple with excessive joblessness! The youths are a disgrace.

This country is shit, the wealthy will 'beat you' and force u not to cry..then oppress you at the end... They control the press, control the judiciary!

Eventually, nothing last forever!

focus7:
You should know that the difference between Jonathan and El-Rufai is that Jonathan is dull, clueless and got no gut but El-Rufai is just an opposite.

All that Jonathan was good at is stealing money.

GEJ wouldn't sue you for this because apparently, why sue a kid that has no home training?

A governor reading speech on behalf of...?

Wtf!

Damn, foolish ppl

Buhari is to blame, this MuRIc guy are noe jobless.



They want equal rights, please write their Arabic, write Jewish, Russian, Chinese and probably Hindu in the naira notes.

Its said that religion itself induce the brain to decay, I think Islam speeden that process.

ruggedmallaam:
I was having a heated debate with a guy about Buhari's government on one of these forums, we argued to a point that he had to ask me what have i even benefitted from this government that i am defending.i told him all i could.and now it was his own turn to answer my question(what did he benefit from Jonathan's government) but to my biggest surprise he said during jonathan's era, money was flowing but i told him hope he realized most of those money where stolen,but the guy said it doesn't matter, then i realized that i was arguing with a fool

That means you're 'eating' in the government, sufficient reason to defend it I guess, especially as in Africa you can't talk while eating.. Cool!... Over 2million people have lost their jobs due to hardship induced by careless speech from the President. Does that count?

The stock exchange crashed when he declared he will recontested. Does that count?

The previous corrupt regime built universities schools for the destitute-almajiris, does that count?

I wouldn't say your friend is a fool, I'll say you've eaten from the government and can defend them.. However you're not capable of telling yourself the truth because you have your mouth filled with product of guile.

USD is now equivalent to how many Naira? Doesn't count because your mouth is filled. Sylva and orji Kalu are defending the govt coz they've been let off the hook doesnt count?


Before you call someone a fool, appraise your own self!
