The skyrocketing cost of medicines over the last few months is taking a toll on Nigerians. Findings revealed that many people suffering from minor and common ailments and those who require life-long management of their ailments, such as diabetes, asthma, hypertension are increasingly finding it difficult to meet up with the costs of their prescribed and over-the-counter medicines. https://dailytrust.com/patients-groan-over-rising-cost-of-drugs/ 2 Likes 1 Share

I don't know why patients are trying to blackmail the good government of Tinubu. Did they try native medication, what about agbo sellers and babalawo healers everywhere? They should buy Nigeria medication 💊 53 Likes 8 Shares |

I'm so pissed. Look this isn't even time to begin talking about politics and blaming who voted who. The simple issue at hand is TINUBU AND HIS PEOPLE SHOULD DO SOMETHING FAST BEFORE POOR NIGERIANS START DROPPING DEAD IN NUMBERS 21 Likes |

This is not good. We have been enjoying good health in my family not until of recent My son, and then my wife fell ill and had to be admitted in private hospital that I got to understand how prices of one of the most essential commodity in life is no longer affordable for most people. I spent over 20k on some of these not too previously expensive drugs. This government is really not favouring the poor. May the Lord send us help, for we are suffering. 22 Likes |

I've spent the last few weeks with my friend who is a pharmacist and who supplies drugs... This is a very scary development. The increase in price over time is frightening. And you either buy the drug or really hope that religion/faith cures you. Abeg no dey. We are living in perilous times in Nigeria. 19 Likes 1 Share |

HateBigots: I hoenstly agree with you...we should have voted out APC well well. Unfortunately the oppostion was divided, and Atiku was too greedy. But , unless we had an oil price increase to something like 150 dollars per barrel, the same thing would have happened under an Atiku or Obi regime. Note, I am not excusing tinubu. He is partly to blame by bringing in Buhari, whose brand of economics laid the foundation for what we have now. But from 2014-21, we had low oil prices. Especially in 2015-16 and 2020-1. We had to borrow. Oil and other subsidies rising costs also forced us to borrow. Corruptuon which Buhari and tinubu now cannot fight worsened matters. At the end, we are in debt, we are earning from just one source of income, tax income is too low, and the economy needs ficing Hence price increases. And the thing that angers me is that we don't have a government that is ready to take hard decisions to bring about eventual imrpvoement. Like actually figting corruption, cutting waste, and removing subsides so that investment flows in (not partial removal as tinubu dey do). Anyway, all I know is, while APC should have been voted out, the same thing would have been happening. Nigeria's economy has undergone prolonged shock. And unless this government is ready to face reality, the problem will never go away. Modifed The reason why price increases won't have changed under another government is simple. We import most of our drugs, or the constituents thereof. As a result price increase elsewhere impact on us negatively. The short term answer would be a subsidy, but such a subsidy would cost in the tens of trillions of naira...far more than the wasteful spending of tinubu ....because many of these drugs are expensive already...and once the government fails to pay subsidy because of cost, importers would stop importing, and costs would be insane. In my opinion, at the end, we should find ways of producing more stock at home...and that means becoming an industrial society. 4 Likes |
