op, ok o

My name is Benjamin Ogunbodede and I work in the TV/Film production company. I write to dispute the way I was treated by some members of the Nigerian Police on Ajuwon road the night of 15th -16th July 2015.

I was heading back home from work around 10.30pm when I was stopped by the police at a random checkpoint at the junction that leads to my street. I just relocated from Ogudu Lagos to this area in the month of March; so, I am less than 6 months old here.
These police officers were not dressed in the usual police uniform, instead they wore MOBILE POLICE POLO shirt. They asked me to park my car, and I did. I was asked for my drivers license and car documents, and I obliged. They further requested that I open
my boot for checking, and I obey.

The next thing, they asked about my relationship with the lady that was in the car with me. I actually gave her a lift to somewhere close to her destination. I told them I was just giving her a lift since I was going in the same direction. To my greatest surprise, the officer and one of his colleagues said I should be taken to custody for “human trafficking/kidnapping.” I stood there in total shock and every attempt to talk myself out of the allegations fell on deaf ears.

I was asked to get into my car and drive to the police station (Ajuwon, Ogun state). I pleaded with them to allow me place a call to my family, but I was denied. Rather, they seized all my personal belongings and the lady in my car was taken in the police patrol bus.
When I got to the station an officer by the name Yusuf asked to check my laptop and phones to get something incriminating. He checked and came up with nothing at all, and then he and this other colleagues asked for my vehicle documents again. They scanned and skimmed through until they came up with something in my vehicle document. They accused me of stealing the car because I have a different plate registration number. I said the former owner wanted to have his plate number back since it was registered in his name, so I had to make a change of ownership, police report and a new number plate. That explanation didn’t fly with them also.

Next they said the lady that was in the car with me at the time said she is a sex hawker and I was taking her home for the night, and I promised to pay her N8, 000. I said it’s not true that if the lady really said that I would like her to look at me in the eyes and say it while am there. Instead, I got a new charge, which is adultery (I am unmarried). They said, “guy leave story and settle us or you will be here longer than you can ever imagine.” I asked what the settlement was and I was told N50, 000. I said there was no way I have cough out such money when I didn’t do anything they have charged me for. My response got me being called unprintable names like “omo ale, oloriburuku etc.” and I got locked up.

Few hours later, my oppressors in uniform (although, on this fateful night they all chose not to wear their uniforms probably so that the oppressed citizens won’t be able to name them) got me out of the cell and again asked If I was ready to settle, I said I cannot pay that kind of money. So they started various antics, they asked me to write a statement, and to my surprise they wanted me to write what they dictated and not the TRUTH. I was even ordered to write my account balance down after seeing statements of my account on my phone, how much I earn and what kind of apartment I live.

To cut short this epistle of my ordeal with the people who are meant to protect and maintain law and order, around 5.30am they came back for me in the cell again and asked if I was enjoying my new lodge. I had to beg them to let me go because I had a test slated for 8am that morning. I agreed to pay N10, 000 and one of them quickly got an “okada” in the compound and we rode to an ATM machine (Sterling bank, Ajuwon road) to withdraw the money, and then back to the station. I filled their bail form and all my properties was released to me. The officers on duty made sure I didn’t get the DPO’s contact details pasted on the walls of the station.

I am deeply pained by the inhumane treatment I got from these rouges called Officers of the law, and I will not rest until justice is served accordingly. We cannot continue like this and expect a miraculous change that we all sing.

Billionaire daughter DJ Cuppy, real name Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, recently shared a video on her IG page that left one of her followers so impressed she dropped this comment.

According to the young lady, DJ Cuppy has never stepped out in a revealing outfit despite the fact that her dad is billionaire Femi Otedola. Does that mean it''s only poor girls that reveal too much? What do you think?

Two ladies believed to be "commercial sex workers" residing and plying their trade in Amaraku, Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, horribly fought each other with broken bottles on Friday evening.

According to Obiaku Lancelot Ifeanyi who witnessed the incident, the two prostitutes were at a bar near Orie Amaraku market where they drank to stupor before deciding to negotiate their way home.

The two stopped over at another joint along Ugiri Road Amaraku to enjoy some cigarettes, only to start quarreling.

Although it was not ascertained what the two colleagues quarreled for, it was gathered that the
altercation turned into a fight when they started exchanging blows.

It got even dangerous along the line as one of the prostitutes, apparently intoxicated, drew the first blood by breaking a bottle of beer and used it on her challenger. And in reply the other lady broke another bottle, held her colleague on the ground and stabbed her once in the face.

It was then that the two women, who almost stripped naked as they fought, were forcefully separated by able bodied men. But one of them had already sustained serious injury to her face that heavily affected one of her eyes.

One of them was standing, having sustained a lesser degree of injury. While the other stood weak and helpless by the roadside, seriously wounded and bleeding profusely.

According to the less injured woman of easy virtue while screaming in regret, she only stabbed her colleague once in retaliation, but her friend grabbed a broken bottle and used it on her own face severally, which led to her being seriously injured. She stated that her colleague was under the influence of alcohol and was unconscious about what she was doing, and indeed the damage she did on her body.


The two were later rushed to a hospital in Amaigbo; and according to the motorcyclist who took them to the hospital and returned an hour later, the less injured harlot later overpowered the security man at the hospital gate and ran away, while her colleague received medical attention.

Hello Laila, please publish this. It's about the guy that recently blasted a pharmacist for a medication error.

About this, if I was the Mr, I'll be very MAD at the pharmacist, I mean, that was my life, yo! It's logical and very normal. But I'm a young female pharmacist, not totally neutral in this case but I'll try to be as unbiased as possible.
I'm not about to justify the pharmacist's actions or fault the Mr or anyone else, I only aim to bring out some salient points from this issue, share some knowledge about matters like these, and promote unity.
The Mr asked for a particular antibiotic for his unresolving cough(self medication which we all try to discourage, besides antibiotics shouldn't even be sold OTC), asked for the
pharmacist's opinion, she advised him on a better drug as regards efficacy, compliance and easy dosing (which is right and backed up by studies), gave the information and advice that should go with the drug and yeah it worked!

But she missed out a major point (that 0.07% of patients who used the drug experienced status asthmaticus as a side effect), if she had mentioned, he might have rejected it and all parties would be fine, but I guess she figured that the % is almost negligible and can be overlooked since it is a very rare side effect (now anyone can do this, even a doctor,trust me I've seen such cases. If each patient was told all the side effects of the meds they are prescribed, theyll resort to only fasting and prayer and will not even go near any drug ever).
Funny thing is, the same antibiotic in question has been used to manage bronchial asthma in various clinical studies. Other factors might have been responsible for what happened to him, e.g. allergens, other meds that he was taking but those were probably not looked at, left to them, it was all the pharmacist's fault. The other antibiotic he self-prescribed can also cause Steven-Johnson's syndrome (remember the serious burning of the skin when Septrin is used by some people? Yeah, that! ), if he had gotten that one and developed this syndrome, whose fault would it have been? Yet he didn't react to it in the previous times that he used it. Same way other people have used the antibiotic he was given and didn't react to it.

Mr should've just gotten a prescription from his two highly trained specialist doctor parents instead of self medicating or asking for the pharmacist's opinion (tho this is right) and save us all these stress. I'm sure while he was being managed in the hospital, pharmacists were involved( they definitely didn't treat him with water, drugs were used) cos a good hospital should always have pharmacists on duty.
Now Mr said 'Pharmacists should just do what they're told, You are not doctors'

Oh yeah, we are not doctors (I don't wanna be one cos I can't stand the sight of blood, my legs will start shaking) but we CANT JUST DO WHAT WE'RE TOLD and that's because we're not trained to be just dispensers. Pharmacy school training is for 5+x years, practical training for 1full year, nysc training for another 1year, all that before a pharmacist license is given and we're supposed to just do as we're told? I can definitely learn how to JUST dispense within a month o. I refuse to be underused. We were trained to work hand in hand with other health care practioners to ensure the overall good health and better quality of life of our patients by giving the best up to date drug info and advice, REVIEW and interprete prescriptions, detect therapeutic incompatibilities, control the use of medications by monitoring drug therapies and making pharmaceutical interventions when necessary.

Yes, we can do all these because we are well versed in the 'genetic makeup' of drugs (the chemistry right from the first carbon to the last hydrogen, dynamics, kinetics, etc of all drugs), we know how you can possibly react to it, how it reacts to your body, and how you can get the best from them!

We do not go about giving injections (even though some of us have the ability to cos we know how it should be given, flow rate, precautions, combinations et al), we kinda have too much on our hands already, it's not in our job description and hey, there are other members of 'our team' that can do that perfectly! When lab tests are required, patients are referred to Med Lab Scientists, every one has their job description and should stick to it.

This is a wake-up call to my fellow pharmacists, stay in your lane, know when to refer (not when you can't handle it anymore), as much as possible,liaise with a med doctor before concluding on a med to give a patient (though that's almost impossible where most Docs tend to just give orders instead of being open to suggestions and proper communication), try to learn new things about drugs everyday (there's always something new), and commit your career to God so He can give you guidance each step of the way.
Beneath all the social media outbursts about pharmacists and doctors is a serious powertussle that the public might be oblivious to, which to me is totally unnecessary. If everyone does their jobs and not try to outdo one another, acknowledge their mistakes, make the patients health their priority, there won't be time to even fight over who is superior to the other.

Anyone can make mistakes, pharmacists are not God, doctors are not God. Personally, I have witnessed many mistakes by doctors, cases of overdosage and underdosage, wrong meds for particular illnesses, contraindicated meds, various drug interaction problems and even severe side effects (like this case) but you hardly ever hear of such in the news and that's because we, as pharmacists, were trained that in such cases, we should talk directly to the prescribing physician, bearing the benefits to the patient at heart, that way, the mistake is corrected, patient gets better and doesn't lose his confidence in the physician, all parties are fine.
Now reverse the situation and let the pharmacist make a relatively 'slight' mistake (no mistake is slight though) of a dosage error, the war is on his head just because #powertussle

Lastly, our dear patients, try to work with the knowledge of BOTH a pharmacist and a doctor, because in the long run, you're at the receiving end, whether the Pharm or Doc makes the mistake. Love yourself before you 'adore' any healthcare worker, learn about your meds and your condition, ask questions and give details, we are all ready and available to help.
By the way, ALL drugs have side effects, some people get them, many don't, if majority got life threatening side effects from a particular drug, it won't even be in the market in the first place. Even the 'glorified' most abused Paracetamol isn't too good on your liver. Lol! Don't be scared, it is safe to use when needed.
Pharmacists do NOT think they are doctors.
