All these illegal migrantion and uncontrolled migrations is proof that alot of white people are so stupid

ARISHEM:
Something that has be done here in Nigeria and nothing will happen. I heard she is very wealthy. Almost close to a billionaire

HacheNoire:
Forfeiture with freedom does not happen like that in legal matters.

You only forfeit when the crime is not directly tied to you. It’s like person A who is a criminal kept stolen money to person B. When the court finds grounds that person B is not a part of the crime, a competent court of law will execute forfeiture of those assets.

Every fraudster would have done same if it guarantees freedom!

If she only dispensed medicine legally, then she cannot be that wealthy because running a pharmacy overseas is not like selling akara by the roadside. So, her wealth must have come from illegal dispensing.

Brendaniel:
Name checkers will be disappointed and the thread will not be flooded by them and their hate filled words...

Goodvibes007:
You cant be an illegal immigrant and be a practicing pharmacist.

Kai. See how you educated him like a child.

Another person would rethink his life and be careful typing after this simple education.

Give anonimi, just 1 week, he will return to write it again. And then wonder why Africa has remained stagnant.

The continent is stagnant because people refuse to learn and even when taught, are as a director in a Ministry once told me

" Our people are untrainable". Anonimi learnt NOTHING. Trust it.

The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

Do you think she would have been made to forfeit some money for her freedom, like Tinubu did in Chicago, according to his documentary filmmaker

Richtaiwo:
Nairaland is not allowing us to confirm the usual things. But no problem, I don't need to confirm.

What greed can cause. She has a pharmacy but it isn't enough for her. It's doing shady business behind closed doors that would satisfy her?


Now she has thrown it all away, lost everything and faces time on jail.


I hope the money made from her illicit sales is enough to satisfy her during her prison term and was worth it.



She knew the consequences of her action.... she should accept to them.


Over 300 thousand pills no be today.


I don't feel no pity at all.

Nigerian pharmacist convicted for illegally dispensing over 300,000 oxycodone pills in US

A federal jury in the Southern District of Florida, United States (U.S) on Wednesday, July 22, convicted a Florida-based Nigerian pharmacist and pharmacy owner for illegally dispensing more than 300,000 oxycodone 30mg pills to pharmacy patrons who had no medical need for the drug.

According to court documents and evidence presented during the trial, 60-year-old Olushola Yusuf dispensed oxycodone to nearly all customers who visited her pharmacy.

Yusuf charged customers about 10 times the typical cost of the drug and required cash payments for the medication.

In total, Yusuf dispensed at least 335,351 pills of oxycodone 30mg during the conspiracy.

Oxycodone 30mg is the maximum strength available of the drug and is both sought after and potentially dangerous due to its potency.

It is typically prescribed to seriously ill patients, such as those suffering from chronic cancer pain or traumatic injuries.

Yusuf owned and operated two pharmacies: Boots LLC d/b/a Striderite (Boots) in Margate, Florida, and Chans Pharmacy Plus, Inc. (Chans) in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

Yusuf distributed oxycodone 30mg pills through these pharmacies.

Customers drove long distances across Florida to have Yusuf fill prescriptions they could not get filled at any other pharmacy.

Some customers paid as much as $1,000 a month in cash to Yusuf for the drugs.

Some customers were drug dealers who picked up oxycodone pills on behalf of dozens of patients at a time who were not present.

According to witnesses at trial, Yusuf kept the doors to her pharmacies locked during business hours, directing employees only to open the door for certain identified customers.

Yusuf continued to dispense the oxycodone in this way even after repeated warnings from her employees and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) about the dangers of her pharmacy operations.

The jury convicted Yusuf of conspiracy to distribute drugs illegally and five counts of illegal drug distribution.

Yusuf’s co-defendant, Saman Gimenez, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute drugs illegally and is scheduled to be sentenced in October of this year.

Yusuf faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count.

A sentencing hearing will occur on October 14, 2026.

United State (U.S) attorney, Jason Reding Quiñones, for the Southern District of Florida, said, ” Olushola Yusuf did not simply ignore red flags. She built her business around them.

“She knowingly flooded South Florida communities with more than 335,000 high-dose oxycodone pills, even after her employees and the DEA warned her about the dangers of her conduct. Yusuf charged extraordinary cash prices, served drug dealers and customers who travelled long distances, and put profit ahead of patients, public safety, and her responsibilities as a pharmacist. Yesterday (Tuesday), a federal jury held her accountable.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) co-deputy director Christopher Raia, said, “By distributing dangerous and highly addictive narcotics, the defendant demonstrated a clear disregard for their community and endangered countless residents who should have been able to trust their pharmacist.

“The opioid epidemic continues to plague our nation, which is why the FBI, along with our partners, will continue to hold the criminals poisoning our communities with these drugs accountable.”
