Family / Re: Three Of 10 Men Are Not Fathers Of Their ‘kids’, Says DNA Expert by pedestal82(m): 10:10pm On Oct 01, 2012
This is a true life story on DNA test, I posted on NL, not
Too long ago.
https://www.nairaland.com/927711/what-ur-advice-him

Few mths before Mr Y passing out (nysc),a lady he had an affair with, says she is pregnant. He does the honorable thing and insists on marrying her, against his families wish,
And bearing in mind he has no staedy job. Now 7 yrs later Mr Y discovers the child is not
His. How he found out u might ask? The guy responsible for the pregnancy,confronted the lady that she shld not give his child to somone else.and boasted that even if she does
He will one day come for his child. Mr Y got to hear abt this recently,and goes ahead to carry out a DNA test and confirms he is not the father. He is devastated, the child in question is all he has got, no other child since after the marraige. He has gone thru a lot because of this lady and child, up until now, has no staedy job. Now my question NLanders,shld he still keep the child that is not his ? Shld he still keep the wife that decieved him into marraige with a pregnancy she fully knew was not his

Romance / Re: Ladies,can You Accomodate This Sort Of Relationship;guys,what Do You Think? by pedestal82(m): 7:21am On Sep 18, 2012
@OP, though there are exceptions to everything/rule. I think
One way of finding out the truth is, let her go for the weekend,
When talking to her on the fone, gist normal with the aim of
Finding out if her friend and his girlfriend are at home. Note,
Don't be direct with the inquiry. Once she accepts that they are home,
Request to speak with the guy,just to say hi/thank him for his
Hospitality. Then ask the guy to also give his girlfriend the fone
To say hi/ thank her for the hospitality. Any hesitation,or
Excuses to this 2 request, most especialy the second. Then u knw
There is more to the relationship!

Nairaland / General / Re: Pharmaceutical Society Of Nig,defends Pharmacist Involved In Cynthias Death by pedestal82(m): 8:51pm On Aug 30, 2012

Misconduct! Not lumping them with those cold blooded murderers.
Nairaland / General / Pharmaceutical Society Of Nig,defends Pharmacist Involved In Cynthias Death by pedestal82(m): 7:34pm On Aug 30, 2012
TEXT OF A PRESS BRIEFING BY THE PRESIDENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY OF NIGERIA (PSN) PHARM. AZUBIKE OKWOR,FPSN,FPCPHARM,FFIP, ON THE UNFORTUNATE MURDER OF CYNTHIA OSOKOGU HELD AT THE PHARMACY HOUSE, ANTHONY VILLAGE, LAGOS

PROTOCOL
The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) joins millions of Nigerians to empathize with the family of the late Cynthia Osokogu who was lured by friends she met on facebook to Lagos where she was brutalized and eventually killed.

We also commend the Nigeria Police for the professional investigation that led to the arrest of the two young men who admitted openly to have committed the heinous crime.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) is interested in a diligent and focused investigation of this murder which continues to attract so much interest from Nigerians to the extent that all found culpable will be made to face the full weight of the law, while innocent people are not unjustly arraigned, prosecuted and punished.

We note with concern the arraignment of two young Pharmacists who were charged along with the confessed suspects for rape, armed robbery, murder and administering of obnoxious substances. These are weighty charges that reflect the gravity of the offences that led to the death of this promising lady. We at Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) indeed perceive this loss as a great one to the Osokogus, friends, colleagues and all Nigerians.

The PSN after a critical appraisal of all issues at stake wishes to reflect thus:1) Pharmacists as responsible professionals and as legitimate custodians of medicines would continue to champion safe, responsible and rational use of medicines in Nigeria. Our projects and programmes in the last few years have always been geared towards the promotion of safe use of medicines. Having said this, it is important to realize that all medicines are poisons with inherent tendencies for abuse and misuse. Pharmacists have always exercised due diligence, caution and professional judgment in dispensing and sales of medicines. But beyond this, it is difficult to know what a person intends to do or does with the medicine after purchase especially for a premeditated criminal act that involved use of chains, padlocks, tape and other dangerous weapons.


Information available to us indicate:
a. Pharmacist Chukwunonso Maduakor was on duty in Oxpharm in the morning of Monday August 20, 2012. A gentleman approached him and requested to buy Rohypnol. Nonso asked him for a prescription and he said he does not have one. The gentleman begged and pleaded with him that he really needed it with paracetamol. Pharm. Nonso considered his request on compassionate grounds and dispensed to him one (1) card of 10 tablets of flunitrazapam along with one (1) card of Paracetamol. The gentleman goes out of the pharmacy, and then came in again with other persons, arrested Nonso and accused him of selling drug without prescription. They then took him to the Police station, he made statement and was detained for six (6) days in Festac Police Area Command. On the 7th day they transferred him to Panti from where he was taken to a Magistrate Court and was charged for conspiracy, murder, armed robbery, rape and administering obnoxious substances to Miss Cynthia Osokogu who was killed by two known persons a month earlier in July 2012.b. The second Pharmacists, Pharm. Osita Orji is a Locum Pharmacist with Oxpharm and works evening shifts. The police visited Oxpharm on 21 August 2012 and requested to see Osita. When he got to the station, they alleged that he was the Pharmacist on duty when the suspected killer of Cynthia claimed they bought Rohypnol from Oxpharm. Osita made statement that he did not know the murderers, could not recall meeting them or selling Rohypnol to them and if they ever bought the Rohypnol from him while on duty that they must have presented him with a prescription. Osita was detained in Festac Police Area Command for two (2) days, then transferred to Panti from where he was taken to a Magistrate Court and charged

2) If the liability of the two pharmacists is limited to the sales or alleged sales of rohypnol to clients they do not know and never collaborated with in this condemnable crime then it is logical to believe that at best there might have been breaches of professional ethics. The law provides that such matters are dealt with by the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria a regulatory agency of the Federal Government established by Cap. P.17 LFN 2004.


3) The drug in question Rohypnol is an intermediate acting benzodiazepam similar to diazepam (valium), nitrazepam (swidon) and bromazepam (lexotan).

Rohypnol is the brand name of the medicine flunitrazepam and is one of the benzodiazepine class of sedatives or tranquilizer drugs, of which valium or diazepam is perhaps the best known. It is used in the management of anxiety and sleep disorders (short term treatment of insomnia).

Rohypnol is made by Roche in Switzerland, registered with NAFDAC (Reg. No: 04 – 0150) and distributed in Nigeria by Swipha Nigeria Ltd. It is not a rare drug as being reported. It is available in Nigeria.4) The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) counsels Nigerians to monitor the use of internet facilities by youths and children particularly because of volume and nature of information available.

5) We urge the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution in the Ministry of Justice in Lagos State to immediately review the cases of these pharmacists with a view to advising the relevant authorities on how best to tackle this matter and to ensure that the innocent is not persecuted albeit unjustly.

CONCLUSION
Gentlemen of the Press, the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) assures Nigerians that it will continue to work with stakeholders including relevant regulatory agencies to evolve a National Strategy that will improve the use of medicines in Nigeria. In line with this, the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) has dedicated September 25, 2012 to continue the dialogue on safe medicines by collaborating with the National Human Rights Commission, Regulatory Agencies, Media and other stakeholders.

One of the salient lessons inherent in the discourse is that our youth while trusting must verify the relationship they make through the social media given the abuse potential.

Once again, we offer our heartfelt condolences to the entire Osokogu family. We pray that God will grant the family the fortitude to bear this loss.

Thank you.

Azubike Okwor FPSN,FPCPHARM,FFIP
President

Politics / Re: Muslim Youths Protest, Deployment Of A Christian Commisioner Of Police To Kaduna by pedestal82(m): 5:49pm On Aug 26, 2012
Tension is reported to be brewing in Kaduna State as some Muslim youths protest the deployment of Mr. Olufemi Adenaike, a Christian, as State Police Commissioner. 

 

They accuse the State Governor, Mr. Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa, and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as conspiring against Muslims in view of the tense security situation of Kaduna State.

 

A senior security officer told SaharaReporters that the youths, who coined for themselves the name of ‘Youth Wing’ of Jama’atu Nasril Islam, wrote a letter to the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, alleging that all key security personnel in the state are Christians and that it is a grand design to cage Muslims in the state. 

 

The source noted however, that apart from boldly using the JNI name in the complaint, the letter did not have the JNI symbol or its Arabic inscriptions.

 

The letter to the Sultan, which is dated 23rd August 2012, was signed by the duo of Uztaz Suleiman Abubakar and Mohammed Sani Zaria, as president and secretary. 

 

A copy of the letter is also said to have been sent to the Supreme Council for Sharia, but the Sultanate is disclaiming having ever heard of any Youth Wing of the JNI.

 

The source concluded that the security agencies are working round the clock as a means of containing the situation in order to forestall break down of law and order in the state
