first of all, I think u just lied.

and if you did take a bottle of cough syrup because a chemist said so, then you are the biggest fool ever.

Read it again. He didn't say a chemist TOLD him to, he said some guy asked him to. As to calling him a fool, I don't know about that. But I do know that depending on one's body make-up, that substance can slow someone down
I was in the north on 3 occasions and I can tell you boldly, the consumption of codine didn't just start, I dont know when it did actually but it was already on by 2005 when i served and visited there

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] boys will move to spirit now.....

While we celebrate the feat and hope its fully implemented, let's not forget that there are other substances that are being abused. Today for example, while trying to enlighten my students on the ban of drugs containing codeine, they just kept laughing and told me codeine was for learners. They mentioned several other substances, but one that got my attention the most was dissolving 20 Tomtom in Lacasera. One of them was like... Uncle if you take it hen, you will wash even your rooftop.

Drm dey craze..
It took BBC exposé to make Dem act wen local journalists don dey make d noise for the past years.. Dem dey madt

Don't mind him. So if he's gonna take a drug he isn't gonna check or ask for the prescription of it? Stop lying now. Even those that use drug overdose know the prescription for it before they decide to use an overdose.

They are banning it because it affects Northern youths.. Youths in the South West and South East does not give a shit about codeine. If you doubt me go and do the analysis now?

ifdaeg:
GEJ built almajiri schools to educate northern kids and give them self worth and value, yet the north rejected the solution to their age long backwardness. The solution is not in banning substances (there's a million and one substance ) that gets them high including inhaling of soak-away pit. The solution is mind reconfiguration which only good education can bring about.

Hey bro, I was thinking this thing na joke until u sef talk am, say dem dey high if dem inhale from soak-away pit. What kind of human will inhale such Na wah o

Aisha you are always reacting , the addiction of northern youths can't be solved by banning codine, rather they will only succeed in making codine very expensive because, the producers and marketers will capitalize on it and sell it at an exorbitant prices, second, new people will move into the trade as it will pay more , they will bribe officials and still sell it at 10x the original price... take a good look at tokunbo cars before the import duty was increased, Toyota corolla used to be 1.3m now sells at 2.3m and still they are importing and bringing it in without duty paid... this is Nigeria, this is Africa..

I doubt it the fact that the price of something goes up happens to be a major reason why codeine will not be abused besides one of the reason codeine is very popular is because it is cheap and highly accessible remove that and u have gone a long way to stop its abuse

TheFreeOne:
When northern leaders failed to provide education and development opportunities for their uneducated teeming youths / almajiris why wouldn't they take solace in drugs?


Madam talk to your husband and other northern elites to stop their almajiri style of governance and invest in youth development.

I heard your kinsmen do the Supply up North.

Yeah, they don't give a shiit about codeine when they can easily get marijuana and cocaine, at their fingertips!

He is a pro buhari zombie.

They'd do anything to give the govt a positive spin.

Cocaine? Do you know how expensive cocaine is? Lol! And do you know that the content of codeine is more dangerous and addictive than cocaine and marijuana? Codeine is a form of Opium and heroin. Crack! It turns people into Junkies and addicts.. read well before you post.

Wrong. Marijuana and cocaine are available in both north and south. The real difference is the in/ability to drink alcohol openly.

omo, dis is serious o, i served in d north n did CDS as NDLEA member dat was when i knew dey can go put their nose in pit toilet n get high, zakami is anoda drug(taken by horse) n that was when i knew cough syrup can get one high

now dis one u don bring 20 tomtom in lacasera

na to ban tomtom n lacasera remain

Are there Nigerian made cough mixtures that are as effective as the ones that are codine based. ?
That is the real question.

Because it would be stupid to risk the health care of good people suffering from cough just so some riff -raffs would lose one of the many ways they get high.

No be only codeine.

A list of other stuff to ban:

1. Glue
2. Pit latrine gas
3. Gutter gas
4. Jegemu weed (how they will do that I don't know).
5. Tramadol
6. Cold tyre patch solution.

Chubhie:
Once in kano I had cough and some guy advised codine syrup. He encouraged me to drink up. I must confess it was sweet in my mouth so I guzzled down half the bottle. The guy was just having some funny smile on his face while we walk away from the shop.

My steps started going into slow motion. managed to coordinate my steps until I got home and crashed on the bed. I must have slept for hours after that.

I swore by obatala never to near any cough syrup again.

Hmmm. Your story took me down memory lane. In my uni days, my girlfriend complained of cough so I went and but her benelyn with codeine cough syrup. I didn't tell her what amount to take before I went out. I never knew she took a couple of spoons and she felt the cough was not abating so she guzzled almost everything. After all the thing dey sweet. I came home and met her sleeping. At a point I was uncomfortable with the long hours of sleep and I had to force her awake. No be small wahala before she fit wake. I warn the living daylight out of her that day.

e b lyk say the thing don affect one or many of the politicians' pikin

Before responding, please try to understand the entire context in which a post is made. Someone said that youths in the Southwest and Southeast do not give a shiit about codeine, and I responded that they don't because they use marijuana and cocaine. In Lagos Island, there are several joints, where cocaine is traded like water. Even within certain seedy areas in the high brow estates, you can find coke, if you know where to look. So read well before you post! Try not to forget your understanding on your pillow....next time.

PassingShot:
Anyone who sees no reason to support the ban needs his/her head examined properly.

d PDP and salamrushdie are already condemning d ban saying dat it is targeted at d opposition

The thing is these people can get high on almost anything...... Even petrol

Aptly put, this has elevated codeine to something to be trafficked and run by cartels.

Bubu is worse than any codeine. Let him lose election and see his supporters go on killing spree of his opponents.

did you just attempt to defend this liar?

They should ban methylated spirit too cos that's the trend for Hausa boys in Abuja here. Those guys can take anything that creates highness for them. Codein price will now be so high which will immediately create another dangerous kind of drug readily available.

Teaching a pig how to sing is a waste of time.

chiedozie198100:

I'm not defending anyone here since every medication comes with dosage instructions. If he felt the way he felt, probably a case of overdose (let me not say drug abuse) I only tried to buttress the fact that codine consumption isn't new in the north

laudate:

cocaine can't be even be affordable by so called musicians let alone Hausa aboki.
