Christianity EtcRe: UK Priest Allows Muslims To Pray In His Church, Hit By Abuse On Facebook by sinie: 2:52pm On Apr 26, 2013
Since the days of John the baptist the kingdom of God has been suffering violence and only the violent can take it by force. My people says' until the rotten tooth is pulled off the mouth must chew with caution' islam is not a friend of the church and should NOT be welcomed. I can't believe that priest will desecrate the church like that. In the presence of the blessed sacrament they bow in prayer to a false god. Blasphemy... The church should do something about it. Its not his private religion. Its the CATHOLIC church. We pride ourselves on the sacredness of our sacraments, the solemnity of our worship. I rejoiced when I heard them say, let us go to God's house. Not Allah or mohhamed's house. At the name of Jesus every knee in heaven and on earth shall bow. And yet in the presence of the sacarament you believe to be the true body and blood of jesus you let them bow and worship another God. The bible says, there's a way that seems right unto man but the end thereof is death. Beware father....

FamilyRe: Nigerian Ghost Stories (pressing Someones Neck At Night) by sinie: 8:37am On Feb 26, 2013
In as much as I believe its a medical condition I also believe it can be spiritual. Ave had such experiences in the past but I was never worried. However there was a particular experience that scared me. I went to a place in ogun state to visit a friend. Late in the night we were both asleep when suddenly we heard a very loud screeching sound. We both woke up instantly, the noise was coming from the balcony behind the room. So I stood up and went to peep through the window and lo and behold right there on the rail was an owl. I was so scared ave never seen an owl this close in my life. I felt like running out of the house. I was trembling with fear, I suddenly felt melancholy around me. My friend tried to calm me down, finally we decided to pray b4 we slept back. By then the bird had left. Anyway I lay down to pray and just slept off. All I remember was in my dream I realised I was sleeping and I tried to rouse myself so I could pray but I couldn't. My body cud nt move I felt paralysed. I could feel someone shaking me, calling my name I opened my mouth to answer but I could
Not talk. Finally I tried to call Jesus. I put all my power into it, immediately the name left my lips I jumped up. Believe me guys in as much as I believe in this sleep paralysis I still believe that night was an attack. This is Africa lots of things we see have supernatural implications
EducationAgony Of Students In Madonna University by sinie(op): 11:54am On Feb 25, 2013
Agony of Students at Madonna University

24 Feb 2013

Font Size: a / A



Owner of Modonna University, Father Edeh (right) welcoming a guest to the school Prof. Julius Okojie, NUC boss

Allegations of sharp practices rock the Akpugo campus of Madonna University with the students at the receiving end, reports Olaolu Olusina

This is, indeed, a pay back time for ObinnaOjukwu, a fresh graduate of Madonna University, Okija, Enugu State. Sitting comfortably in his office at the Akpugo Campus of the first private university in Nigeria, where he studied Engineering and graduated only last year, he could not but thank his stars for being a lucky young man.

At a time, his mates were still mourning their inability to be called up for the compulsory one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme due to the non-accreditation of their courses by the Nigerian University Commission (NUC), Ojukwu is already calling the shots at his alma mater.

And just about the time his school mates were still ruminating about what becomes of them next in the labour market due to the non-recognition of their Engineering degrees obtained from Madonna

University, Ojukwu has no reason to bother himself as he is already back to what he knows how to do best in his days at the university, and at a higher level.

But his mates are not envying the young man, who is now the Dean of Students Affairs at the Akpugo Campus of Madonna University.
Current students, who knew him well during his days as the school’s General Hall representative, are not also surprised at his rising profile. Known for being a bully and unrepentant  ‘Man Friday’ for the university’s authorities to the detriment of the interests of his fellow students, whose interest, he was supposed to protect in the first place, many can only conclude that this, among many other alleged malpractice, could only happen at Madonna University.

But many are worried that such things could be happening in a university that prides itself not only as the first private university as well as the first Catholic university in Nigeria but also one of the most expensive private universities in the country where standards and morals are supposed to be high.

Students of the institution are equally worried as they are not sure of what the future holds for them with the non-accreditation of their campus.

Yet, THISDAY gathered that the authorities of the university appeared unperturbed as what matters to them most is the money being collected from the helpless students, whose parents are, unfortunately, being made to believe that their wards are being given sound education and morals in a supposedly Christian institution.

But different allegations rocking the school are sure pointers to the fact that Madonna University may have derailed from its initial objectives and reduced to nothing more than a concentration camp’ where the students are exploited in so many ways.

The Petition
A petition sent to THISDAY in Lagos about the current developments at the Akpugo Campus of the university, titled “Madonna University Akpugo Enugu State Appoints Fresh Graduate as Dean of Students Affairs,”mexposed many shocking and quite unfathomable developments in the school. “I’m seizing this as a medium to bring to the notice of the National University Commission (NUC) and other branches of the government, which should be notified about the current developments in Madonna University, Akpugo Campus, Enugu State (Engineering Campus).

“The Administration Council of Madonna University Akpugo Campus led by the founder/chancellor of the university, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Edeh, on August 7, 2012 organised a final semester meeting with the students of the above-mentioned campus. At the meeting, the chancellor of the university announced to the students the swearing-in of a new Dean of Students Affairs in person of Obinna Ojukwu, a student with registration number PTE/08/ 034. The bearer at that time was an undergraduate student of the university and the General HallRepresentative of the male students of the university.

“Obinna, who was traced to be a student of the Department of Petroleum Engineering, was still writing his final semester examinations at that time. The bearer, Obinna, as I write to you has not been mobilised for his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Neither does he posses any preliminary qualifications to fit into this position as the Dean of Students Affairs of a university.

“As I write to you, Obinna Ojukwu, a fresh graduate is currently the Dean of Student Affairs in Madonna University Akpugo Campus, Enugu State. Beyond every reasonable doubt, this is an eyesore or should I say a dent to the struggle by NUC and the Ministry of Education toward ensuring good standard in the nation’s education sector.

“Obinna who is known to have a reputation for assaulting and brutalising fellow students during his tenure as the General Hall representative of the university has been put into a position to  continue his cruel acts on students,” the petition sent by a close observer of happenings in the school had stated in part.

Non-accreditation of Courses
The petitioner, who craved anonymity also continued his expose: “On the other hand, I would also shed light on the other illegal activities happening within Akpugo campus Enugu State. The Engineering Faculty has none of its departments accredited; therefore the students who have completed their years of study and have advanced into the labour market do not have certificates to show as graduates. Neither are they mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.

Incompetent Heads of Departments
“The Head of Department (HoD)  of the Examinations and Records Department in Akpugo Campus who goes by her regular name-’Point and Kill’ -is not a graduate . She was employed into the university as a labourer (cleaner). As I speak to you, she is the Head of Department of the Examination and Records unit in Akpugo Campus.

Another disturbing angle is the fact that the lecturers in the campus who are engineers are not allowed to mark and grade examination scripts of students they have taught. Instead, they are handed over to the Reverend Sister in charge of the Examinations and Records unit, Rev. Sis. Eleonora, who distributes the scripts between her other Rev. Sisters  and other non-lecturers for marking. This disturbing development brings the question: Why should a professional course such as engineering be marked and graded by non-qualified individuals?

“Rev. Sis. Eleonora has been given the go-ahead by the Chancellor of the university to remark examination scripts, thereby failing a lot of  students. This is a system which Madonna University uses to hide the actual number of its students from NUC.

“Another method which Madonna University uses to reduce its population and hide its actual number of students is wrongly accusing students of offences, thereby placing penalties on them and  expelling students in their final year and suspending students for no defined reasons.”

Suspension of Operating Licence
In July last year, NUC suspended the operational licence of Madonna University along with that of six other private universities for violating its guidelines in physical facilities and academic programmes. The other affected universities were Achievers University, Owo; Caritas University, Enugu; Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Osun; Lead City University, Ibadan; Obong University, Obong and Tansian University, Umunya. NUC , according to its spokesman, Mallam Ibrahim Yakassai, had based its decision on the  non-compliance with the regulations guiding the operations of universities in the country as stipulated by the NUC.

“The operators of the universities affected know their offences because so many times, we have informed them about their failings but they did not take necessary steps to address their shortcomings. Anyway, It’s just a suspension and it will be lifted as soon as they do the correct things,” he was quoted as saying.

Nothing Has Changed
And true to his word, the suspension on Madonna University was lifted not long after but it’s simply back to the basics with little or no changes made. An impeccable source close to the powers-that-be in the university told THISDAY that there is little or nothing NUC can do about the situation in Madonna University. “NUC is just a toothless bulldog; the authorities there are mere stooges and cannot do much.

They are tied down to the apron strings of the powers-that-be. The owners of Madonna will continue to do whatever they like because they already have their ears of people in power,” this reporter was told.
A student at the Akpugo Campus of the University also confirmed to THISDAY last week, saying  nothing really has changed in the school.

“The suspension by NUC has been lifted since and we are now in session. But nothing has really changed. You need to come here and see things for yourself,” the student who craved anonymity told this reporter in an e-mail correspondence.

Shocking Testimonials
Reacting to the suspension of the operating licence of the University by NUC last July, a student of the school, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “I’m a Madonna University student and I’m very happy that NUC took this bold step to suspend the university. I’m studying Electrical/ Electronics Engineering and in 300 Level. My campus is in Enugu State, in the deep village of Akpugo.

In Madonna university, a carry-over program was introduced where students are to pay N150,000, which is higher than our second semester school fees and almost equal to first semester.

“Illiterates are made Heads of Departments, Dean of Student Affairs, Secretary, etc. A person who washes toilet in Madonna University is the Head of Exams and Records. We go to church eight times a week in Madonna. Eighty students are in a particular department but only twongraduated from that department and the others were not given certificates. Madonna, on purpose, fails students and lie to NUC on the total number of students in a department.

“No department in the Faculty of Engineering is accredited and the university is allowed to run and collect money from students. If you use a Blackberry phone in Madonna, you are suspended for two years and any other phone attracts a year suspension. The Students’ Handbook is written by illiterates. We suffer every single day of our stay in Madonna University. We stay 12 students in a room but the authorities always lie to NUC.”

State of the Hostel
Jesus The Saviour Hostel is the main hostel for male students at the Akpugo Campus. The hostel, according to impeccable sources, is in decrepit condition, despite the fact its development is still ongoing.

“Students in this hostel are forced to use the toilet as bad as it is. There is also a swamp harbouring several reptiles close to where the students live. The students are also forced to live with a fully loaded trash bin because the workers don’t get paid so they cannot empty the bin. Instead we are told to sweep and throw the bin,” THISDAY was told.

Madonna Officials Keep Mum
THISDAY made more than three trips to the Akpugo Campus of the university over a period lasting a month in order to get an official reaction of the authorities to all the allegations. But no one was willing to volunteer any information as this newspaper was told at the first visit that only the founder of the school who could react was away in Rome. Subsequent visits did not yield any results either as officials of the school kept tight lips all through.

Telephone calls made to the official lines of the school and its key officials did not go through at all, though THISDAY gathered that no telephone mast is available on the campus, hence reception is very poor. 

No reaction was also forthcoming from the NUC in Abuja thus lending credence that there might be some elements of truth in the insinuations being made about the commission’s helplessness in the case at Madonna.

A Sad Commentary
Madonna University was established to, among other  things,  “revive in its community the age-long tradition of Catholic education and the exacting demand of the contemporary society for sound education enrooted in salubrious life-promoting morality.” The university has its main campus in Okija and the second campus at Elele. According to the information obtained from the school’s official website, “Akpugo is the third campus of Madonna University which houses the Faculty of Engineering with the following departments : Electrical/Electronics, Food Science and Technology, Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Computer Engineering.” Additional reports by Christopher Isiguzo in Enugu.

We are young and beautiful
We want to love to live
We are happy, we are the lucky ones
We give ourselves to you
To love you and have you
And yet you do not appreciate us
You take a knife and bury it deep in our hearts
You take a gun and blast our heads off
You use us like slaves and hurt us most
You take our love for granted
What's worse? Our society cheers you on
"She probably nags too much. The poor man". They say
After all we are just females
The lesser species
Put on earth as an extension óf the males
To carter to their every needs and whims.
Our mothers did it for our fathers
We were thought to teach it to our daughters
They fears us because we are strong and beautiful
How dare we want what we want??
We struggle through every single day
But there's no one to cheer us on
No one to hear our oh so faint voices
As the tears roll down our checks unnoticed
Who will give us a chance?
Who will love us again?
We once were young and beautiful
Now we are dead...

@ op ; though you might have a salient point I think your write up is filled with bias and cynicism. Everyday we see our society disintegrate morally and we helplessly watch our young ones become less and less modest. But that doesn't mean Goldie harvey's fans should not mourn her. And although one might not be impressed with the kind of life she lived that doesn't mean she did not play her role in the nigerian entertainment industry. If only for that she should be commended. Again Nigerians should be able to distinguish between real life and nollywood. So she had an image she wanted to portray, its all part of an act. I think you are been harsh to think she must have live an immoral life. Even her husband gave a statement saying all this was for publicity, so why are u so bitter. I have found that nigerians are always so quick to judge and sometimes very un forgiven. No matter how she lived her life she was a young artist who died suddenly. I believe its tragic and she should be mourned by those who loved her. Personally am nt sure ave heard any of her music or even watched her on that show nor am I saying the people of Ekiti state should Immortalise her, but come on people give our entertainers a break. But I really think you can make your point about the decay in the morals without bashing on the poor dead girl. And what was that comment about the gangster in the white househuh? I just don't want to believe it who I think you are referring to cos then that will be Soooooo wrong...
CultureRe: Igbos, Will You Marry An Osu? by sinie: 9:16am On Feb 04, 2013
ChinenyeN: hehehee I'll still say you're crying more than the bereaved. At this point in time, in this era of readily-available media and means of communication, we are all still waiting for first-hand Osu accounts, and surprise surprise, these "Osu" who are to give the accounts are going about ignorant of their own "Osu"-hood. Why is that? Because many of them don't even know. Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised to find out that any number of Igbo who say "I would never marry Osu" are actually "Osu" themselves (hahaa). By traditional standards, one can become "Osu" simply by interaction and association. It doesn't take much.

So any one of these people who think they are "freeborn" could have at any time in their life interacted and associated with any one ignorant "Osu", and just like that, they too have become "Osu". Then these new "Osu"-by-association in turn interact with other non-"Osu", thereby making them "Osu" and with that the "Osu" population increases exponentially. Apparently, "Osu" abound. If all it takes is interaction and association, then by now, maybe the majority of Igbo are bona fide "Osu" by traditional standards. Long story short, anyone who tries to play "humanitarian for Osu" is fighting a highly unnecessary battle against phantom discrimination.
. you couldn't have said it better... @ aribisala0. I ll like to know which generation you Are from. Because a ll d tins u said applied maybe a hundred years ago. And here you are painting Ibos like some primitive backward people when nothing of sorts applies to us in this present age. The Osu caste systems have completely been abolished. Even in marriage its no more an issue. If u claim its still in place I ll like to know the name of the town and state that sill does those things u said. In this moderns age when ibos are marrying Yorubas, binis and even white men. Is now their own fellow ibo the won't be able to marry just because of a Silly caste system. I don't think so...

Christianity EtcRe: Roman Catholicism And Cultism by sinie: 7:20am On Oct 27, 2012
nyabingi: The point remains that most people who say they are Roman Catholics never really take time to check on the church history, it all rides on the asumptions that Peter started the church where as it was all fasle cos the catholic church was actually instituted by the roman empire to checkmate the spread of the gospel which was viewed as threat to the roman conquests, that is why till today thepapalcy remains more of poluitical position than religion, the popes are elected and one must gains some level of Roman state loyalty to be considered for such!
You are right, most roman catholics don't know all these and you know why? Cos when they go to church to pray what ever they do has nothing to do with history that happened over 2000 yrsr ago. Its between them and their God. So what pope serguis tthe whatever was not a saint, who cares ? Do u know how many billions roman catholics are all over the world, and out of that billion do u know how many actually meet the pope or dream of meeting him in their life time? So what we converted the pagan rituals to christian rituals, another person might see its as simply been convenient. If you are trying to convert someone to your religion especially if the religion is completely new to them I don't see any reason not to use traditions that they are already familiar with. At the end of the day its still God you are serving not pagan gods. And if we are judging religion by their histories or the character of their leaders then nobody will go to church, the first separation from the catholic church was by Henry the 8 and for crissake why? Cos he wanted to marry his LovePeddlerhuh That's. No reason to start a church. But does dat mean all those attending the church today are doomedhuh Of cause not. We hear news today of nigerian pastors and their way of life and their private jets. Makes you wonder ifthey haven't lost touch with their divine connections. But does thatt mean every member of the church is going straight to hellhuh Wat about the hail mary and the hail holy queen you are quoting and based on that concluded that catholics worship mary and not jesus. I can see you have conveniently forgotten other catholic prayer. I hope you know that a catholic family cannot pray without saying the lord's prayer. I cud go on and on bt seriously am not a wonderful typist like you. Bbut. I will like to say. If you really want to worship God. Then do yourself a favor and don't analyise religion simply bebcause its a divine experience. All you can do really is do good, pray. Live your life and hope to make heaven. Every other thing is just giving yourself unnecessary headache
FamilyRe: Advise Him: He Got This Mail From His Wife by sinie: 8:30pm On Oct 09, 2012
disturbedman: Let me add that there is no question about my love for her. But she has become insulting and very disrespectful even at the slightest opportunity. For example, there was an argument sometimes ago and I said to my wife "O go fun nkan ti o so yen (you are stupid to have said that)" to which she replied "iwo naa go. O go o fi enu ho ara (you are more than stupid as well)"

Of course her mail is full of exaggerations but disputing the contents is not my motive here. I very well know that she does not really want a divorce. But how do you forgive and forget this type of insults from your wife whom you are already quarreling with over similar issues?
First of all sir with all due respect,stop being small minded and look at the big picture here. Your woorries should not be about 'insults' infact as far as am concerned there was no insults. She was only telling you how she feels! Your job as her husband is to LISTEN. Did u even ask yourself why she mailed it to u?? does she feel you won't listen to her, or maybe when she tries to talk to you u turn it into a quarrel? These are things you should be asking yourself! Why will a woman who lives in the same house with you send you a mail instead of talking with you! If you want to save your marriage swallow your ego, and TALk to her! Infact I ll suggest you send her a mail too. Why not? I bet she. Was able to pour out whatever she has been harbouring all these years to you, now you know what SHE is thinking. Tell her what YOU are thinking. She has her faults am sure, all those things you can't stand, write it in a long mail and send to her. Let her be aware of how you feel too. Then when you both have gotten it off your chest, then and only then can you start working towards finding a solution. 10 yrs of marriage is not easy. By now you have been exposed to the good, the bad and the ugly of yóur spouse. But if u try and work at it? It WILL get better, our society is not a divorce society, so that's not an option for you, so instead of posting your very private mail from your wife, why don't you go home and WORK on your marriage! No offence!!!
CareerRe: How Your Temperament Affects Your Career Choice And General Performance. by sinie: 11:57am On Sep 19, 2012
spicy v: Thank you for taking out time to contribute to this thread. I want to point out that your analysis θf the Phlegmatic temperament is not entirely accurate. You got one thing right though, they are stubborn. However, the stubbornness θf the Phleg is as a result θf his lack θf inner motivation and the unwillingness to make effort and not as a result θf being strongwilled! So, they really do not bother with pursuing any goal because it is too much effort for them! Those characteristics you describbed and ascribed to the Phleg is actually that θf the Choleric! It is the Cholerics that stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Phlegs MUST be pushed to achieve goals! Infact, it is the Melancholy that would secretly wish to spearhead something and often resorts to manipulation to subtly have her way. The only Phleg that exists in your analysis is the stubborn nature.
Hmmmm I think you should read Tim Lahaye's books on temperament.
CareerRe: How Your Temperament Affects Your Career Choice And General Performance. by sinie: 8:59am On Sep 16, 2012
@ op nice post going here! But I think you might have left out one very important trait of a pheelmatic. Stubbornness. Phlegs are very stubborn, whereas they might be procrastinators, when a phleg wants Something nothing can stop him from getting it! He plots, manipulates and does everthing he can until he gets it! That makes them good marketers. That's where I disagree with u, u said they are not good marketers, you are wrong. A phleg in his calm way will convince and manipulate u to do something you don't really want to do. And once motivated they can be the most competitive person in a group, they might not show it but inside they are seriously plotting to get the best. When they are not leaders they have a hard time following authority because they will always believe they can do a better job. A phleg will not volunteeer to lead, but when appointed will lead marvellously.
He's also very good at saying no. Again attributed to his sturboness. He might not stomp and scream no like a choleric will do, he ll just smile and then just won't do it.

PoliticsRe: Pharmaceutical Society Of Nigeria (press Release) On Cynthia's Murder Case by sinie: 8:12am On Sep 06, 2012
[quote author=mobillon]The only reason that the Pharmacists will eventually found innocent is because there is no evidence that they sold the drugs to the Killers...if there was a CCTV camera in the pharmacy and caught any of the pharmacists selling the drugs, then the least charge that would stick is "accessory to rape murder". [/quote
I guess we ll have to agree to disagree on this, if they can prove the pharmacist sold the drug, in my opinion they should be disciplined by the council, not found guilty of accessory to murder. That's some serious jail time. If he sold it directly to the girl and she took it and it harmed her, then he can be charged for negligence. But he sold it to someone else, there's no way he could !have known what they intended to use the drug for. Anyway I hope this serves as a lesson to pharmacists. DO NOT sell these drugs without prescriptions ABEG! How much money do u want to make that is worth your life??

In Nigeria the Laws regarding selling of drugs without prescription are not widely published, but I believe these would be found in the law books of NDLEA, and these are laws Nigerian Pharmacists, if they are truly professionals, must know. NDLEA in Nigeria was setup in the mold of the American DEA (DEA = Drug Enforcement Administration). In fact, the NDLEA was setup due to pressures from the US DEA since Nigerians in the 80's and 90's had specialized in trafficking drugs to the US and the US wanted a counterpart in Nigeria that they would work together, and the US DEA, even today, supports the NDLEA with intelligence training and financial support. The laws of the NDLEA are therefore fairly similar to the laws of the US DEA.
So if the US DEA and the Nigeria NDLEA have similar laws, what does US laws say is the charge for selling prescription-only drugs? The US laws are pretty clear and I will provide the link for everyone to go thru and make further research. It turns out if you illegally sell prescription drugs to someone and it leads to the death of another person, even accidentally, you will be charged for either manslaughter or even murder. So if a pharmacist illegally sells a drug to an individual and that individual uses it to commit suicide, the Pharmacist is charged for Man-slaughter. If the pharmacists illegally sells a drug to a criminal and the criminal uses it to weaken his victim before murdering her, the pharmacists is charged for man slaughter or even "homicide". I see no reason why the President of PSN will come out publicly and tell us that the pharmacist should be discipline by the PSN for professional misconduct when in the US they would be facing the death penalty. I therefore have no reason but to point out to him that if he sees the 2 pharmacists as his brothers, the young girl Cynthia Udoka, who has been brutally raped and gruesomely murdered, is also his sister.
There is no evidence that any of the Pharmacists sold rohypnol to the Murderers. The words of the Killers can not be trusted since they are serial liars who have obtained their livelihood by lying, tricking and scamming innocent women. In the case of Cynthia Udoka, they have lied all the way, they have lied that Cynthia traveled with a Vibrator, they have lied they are University students( debunked by both Universities) and they lied that they bought Cynthia a plane ticket(419 will not invest 30K in their victims, and it is a well-known fact that Cynthia flies monthly or fortnightly to Lagos from Abuja to buy stocks for her Boutique). So they might well be lying about the Pharmacists. But then, that is a matter for the court to decide, not for the PSN. What is for sure is that the Pharmacist that sold the rohypnol to the under-cover Police officer is in big trouble since the penalty for that in the US is up to 5 years, which should be similar in Nigeria, but I leave his punishment for you guys to calculate with the link I am providing below and with the further research I hope you will carry out:

After reading your post I decided to give you the benefit of doubt and read the link and tot be honest I see no relationship @ all! All these cases are of those selling prescription drugs on the street! A particular girl sold to someone with a prescription and still went to jail for it! Do you ask yourself why? A pharmacist is a custodian of drugs! They are licensed to sell these drugs! Granted with prescriptions, but when you see a pharmacist selling these drugs its not considered a crime becos that's his job! However if there's no prescription then he has not done his job properly, then he should be disciplined, not jailed.. Even a doctor cannot sell these drugs because that's not his job! A nurse cannot sell it cos that's not his job! But a pharmacist and only a pharmacist can! Its just like the only legal way to carry cocaine is with a pharmacist licence! Any other person that does it is arrested and thrown in jail for life without trial, even if its a doctor! Why because they are not licensed to.
Not to the issue of the drug been sold causing harm! Because its the pharmacist's job to ensure the safety of the drug he is giving out, if a pharmacist sells a drug to a patient, without prescription and the person ODs, yes he can be seued for murder! But in this case the ONLY they can prove murder is if they prove the pharmacist KNEW they were going to use the drug on her, cos he did not sell it to her directly! He's not even an accessory, cos he did not KNOW. Now it is wrong to sell it without prescription, it not however a criminal offence! If he was licensed he has a right to administer a small dose for that day till the patient can see a doctor! You guys are forgetting these guy's profession! Pleas don't. The police had NO right to arrest him! Its just like if a patient dies on a doctors operating table, even if the doctor made a mistake he won't be jailed, highest his licence will be withdrawn. Because he WAS doing his job! Its only when it can be prove that he KNOWINGLY harmed the patient that he can be jailed! So please guys don't confuse things! Infact a lawyer friend told me the police are just arresting people to make it seem they are working! They have ABSOLUTELY no case! If you guys doubt me just watch and see! God keeping us all alive we will all be here when the case will be thrown out! I promise I won't say I told you so! Lol.

Obinoscopy: @Calloti, its dispensing and not dispensation...lol

If you were a medical or paramedical personnel you'd understand

Dispensing is a pharmaceutical word used in medical parlance to mean giving out drugs to patients.

Dispensation is a general word meaning the act of providing something, especially by someone in authority eg. The dispensation of justice

You can see the word dispensation does not fit in at all
Oh dear! Don't bother ave tried to talk some sense into the cretin but apparently his head is made of stone and nothing can get in! Pity...
