b This is absolute falsehood.
It is not an esential component. MOST do not contain codeine. Indeed codeine cough mixtures are banned in some countries.
The vast majority of cough mixturees are expectorants.
Codeine is not an expectorant but rather antitussive and it has the potential to cause respiratory depression and death and so its LEGAL STATUS is POM and not OTC. Codeine cough syrups are not for ROUTINE use but rather in exceptional cases of severe unremitting and chronic cough so it must always involve a doctor

This means there must be a name address and phone number on record for patient,pharmacist and doctor for weach prerscription and there is a limit per person.

Next time don't use the word "Almajiri" for an ethnic group, the word Almajiri was coined out from the Arabic word, "Al-muhajirun" which means a learner(student).

Back to the topic, I don't think that is hate speech. The scholar must have done his proper research and investigation before he arrived to that conclusion. Two days ago a man named, Ojukwu was caught by the police at Ojuwoye Market, Mushin, Lagos for producing fake drinks. Some Igbo were caught in Asia, Europe and America for peddling drugs. Even Thailand police institution knows Igbo as the number one hard drugs distributor from Nigeria. Though, we still have good Igbo doing legitimate businesses in Nigeria and the world in general.

How many cough mixtures in Nigeria do not contain codeine? 10%, or 30% or 40%? Can you list them? And can you also post the law, local regulation or drug guideline stating that a prescription must always be issued for a codeine-laced cough syrup before it can be dispensed by a pharmacist, within Nigeria?

Balyz:
Isn't there a law that clearly states that a prescription drug like codeine shouldn't be sold without a doctor's prescription? Why then does the greedy ibo drug store owner clearly flout that law?

It is hate speech. We cannot assume that he must have done his research.He should present his findings

If someone comes out and labels YOU a drug dealer the onus is on HIM to provide evidence. We do not say He must have done his research.

It does not work that way.



Whilst I do not agree with those who see it as cough syrup and harmless. His analysis instead of focusing on Ibos should focus on why there is as claimed ,a higher consumption in the North and particularly the underaged?

Banning it is not the solution but there should be two things

Enforcement of existing prescription regulation

Monitoring of imports and distribution.

It should not be as readily available as cigarettes in the hands of ordinary traders

I really don't knw about the igbo's but what I know is that they are good ppl

If you say herdsmen attack, you remember fulani. Infact Igbos called for atiku's head, when he said they should stop calling herdsmen attackers fulani, so why should Igbos not be called drug dealers when their major source of income is trading drugs worldwide?


How is that hate speech exactly?


Let's call a spade a spade not a shovel.

South African, Malaysians, Chinese, etc hating on nigeria today is because these Igbo people are spreading drugs all over their country same way everyone thinks nigeria is a war zone with killings day and night because of fulani herdmen.

Why does the idiot come without a doctor's prescription in the first place? Did d Igbo man go and look for the sick pig in his house to come n buy? Some of those stoned addicts rob n burgle pharmacies n stores to access those medication so whose fault is that? Do u commiserate with the legitimate owner for his losses?

Really? Please when was this law passed? As at January this year, the National Assembly was proposing a new bill for NAFDAC, that would restrict the dispensing of codeine-laced cough syrups across the counter, but it had not been signed into law yet.



Consumers are merely advised to take codeine containing cough syrups, on prescription by health care professionals, but pharmacists are not compelled to sell the cough syrups only on prescription, like they do for Tramadol and Valium/Diazepham. However, most pharmacists restrict the sale of codeine-laced cough syrups to just 1 or 2 bottles per patient.

In the North, there have been reports of youths requesting to buy a whole carton of codeine laced syrups, from chemists and pharmaceutical outfits. Some ethical pharmacists refuse to sell such quantities to them. I mean how serious is that cough, that you would need a whole carton to cure it?

Balyz:
So the greedy ibo crook is justified by selling to the addict in clear contravention of the law abi? Why dont your people use this line of reasoning when they're being executed in south east asia. Nigeria needs to pass the death penalty for all drug dealers ASAP and we all know the tribe that will be mostly affected by it
