Why will they ban searches alcohol drink? This pharmacy knows the health benefits of it.
For over 3years till now I have not purchased any drugs from pharmacy shops.they use to call me customer because of malaria drugs.
Since my landlord son introduced me to bitter alcoholic sachets when ever I feel any symptoms of malaria I drink just one sachet.for over 3yr I have not taken any malaria drugs will now.

We should equally ban all forms of alcohol, cigarette too.

Of all the problems dealing with Nigerians mercilessly it's alcohol that we choose to talk about, it's alright.

No one has ever been forced into buying and drinking alcohol so far from very good observation.

When you home is on fire and all you could do is to chasing rats and lizards.

The award of the most unserious country goes to Nigeria. undecided undecided

Total ban on sachets alcohol should be the case to reduce the rate of abuse by minors.
Should sxx be banned also because minors do it?

If the objective is truly about protecting children, then why not propose a law that prohibits the sale of alcohol to anyone under the age of 18, with strict penalties for those who violate it? huh
Was there no law against selling and smoking of marijuana yet people still sell and smoking even teenagers.

Don't mind them, what they should push for is
1 ban the sale of any Alcohol to anyone under the age if 18
2 Ban sale of alcohol b4 2pm
3 ban consumption of alcohol in front of anyone under the age of 18
4 Licence the sale of Alcohol
5 Anyone under the age of 18 should not work. Serve or sell alcohol in the premises the abide or work or help.
This is the way to go,

It won't work. People will find a way to evade it.

In the UK and US where they have a minimum age limit for alcohol purchase, they also have very high child drunkenness problems.

The major reason most people consume gin these days is as a result of a sharp increase in the price of beer. I remember those days, with 1k in your pocket, you could sit comfortably with friends and leave for your homes feeling nice. Now , the sharpest way of getting high with little money, since most people can't afford beer, is to buy Gbefun or Striker. Beer is now for the rich or taken on special occasions.

This is a good move. Dangerous alcoholic substances are being made easily available with the proliferation of sachet alcoholic drinks. the ministry of health should do something about this menace.

These products are there because there is huge demand for them. At least they are regulated and hygienically sealed. When you ban these products, just get ready for people to start packaging them unhygienically in nylon bags to sell.

When you have not banned Shekpe and all the other coloured liquids sold at bus stops, why would you ban the ones produced by formal businesses in a regulated atmosphere.

I completely support the ban because from experience, those stuffs they package in sachets and sell to people are highly poisonous!

As a guy man, I have tried some of them on a few occasions and the experiences were unsavoury! It's better for a guy man to take just a few bottles of beer and chill than taking those packaged poisons!
Also bam Sachet milk......
