This one no get shame at all, India, South Africa, Malaysia, America and other sane countries are constantly accusing eebos of spoiling their children with drugs and no one accused them of hate speech but it is now a hate speech just because a northerner said it? Who doesn't know that its your greatest business and best source of income? Who doesn't know that your people studying abroad are nothing but drug pedlers disgusting as students? Who doesn't know that your people are using other other business businesses to cover their main business and source of income which is armed robbery, kidnapping and drugs? Every year hundreds are executed in foreign countries but you people refused to retreat.
Just accept the fact that your people are responsible for drugs and drugs related businesses worldwide according to available records, or rather challenge the lecturer to provide the facts instead of barking uncontrollable

5thElement:


If they sell with doctor's prescriptions then there won't be abuse and we won't be having this discussion in the first place.

dicefrost:


the northerners who abuse prescription drugs are simply brainless. Igbos sell because northerners buy! it's hard to sell in the east because there is no patronage!

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?

Samusu:
Partially true, Igbos are responsible for certain percentage of drugs in Kano, Nigeria and the world at large.

5thElement:


How much codeine is in cough syrup?

Some legal drugs can indeed be abused if taken constantly even in small quantities. Codeine is one of them.

donbenie:
[s]The said Codeine plus Tramadol and any other abused drug you can get in the North is even more accessible in the S E..so the question arises,why is it being abused in the North and not the SE..maybe if the Northern youths are more gainfully engaged they might not be taking out their frustrations by abusing prescription drugs..
Keep looking for who to blame for your frustrated lives,instead of holding your greedy elites responsible,who despite holding power for donkey years have nothing to show for it in the life of Northern youths..[/s]

DerideGull:


Are you intelligent at all? Maybe and partially true that Yari.ba, Hawa and Fula are responsible for certain percentage of hard drug usage in Enugu, Nigeria and world at large. You are one of the reasons Africans are depicted in an inferior form.

Balyz:
Not hate speech but 100% accurate fact. Igbos are not only known for drugs in Nigeria alone, but the entire globe for that matter. They have the distinction of being the globally recognized, undisputed champions of the illegal drug trade. Malaysia, Indonesia, China just name it na dem

5thElement:


Do you know that that's not an excuse in a court of law anywhere in the world?

"Your honor, my client peddles marijuana only because the high school kids patronize him a lot. He's only doing community service. He should be given an award, my lord..."

There's ready market for human body parts all over the world, does that make illegal organ harvesting legal?

There's ready market for illegal sales of firearms all over the world, does that make it legal?

There's ready market for cocaine, heroine, marijuana etc all over the world, does that make them legal?

Cooly100:


Is "magani burantashi" the aphrodisiac drugs you use to hammer those 9 year old girls, producing tons of alamjiris, also supplied by the Igbos?
Why can't Nigeria also pass the death penality for corrupt politicians like China and we will know the tribe that will be mostly affected by it.

Thieves everywhere!

0monnak0da:
list?
I am your PA? Remind me how much you pay me again?
If you genuinely want to learn about codeine go and look into the Nigeria Drug Formulary Laws.

laudate:


No need to be rude. Tramadol and Diazepam are clearly listed as drugs that are NOT to be sold without a doctor's prescription. Ask any pharmacist. But 'cough syrup containing codeine' is not. Until someone can paste the law here in black and white prohibiting cough syrup containing codeine from being sold across the counter, then kindly keep your hypothesis to yourself....

Kennydoc:


You just open your mouth and be talking rubbish. I guess it's Igbos that are also running the booming drug business in Colombia and Mexico.

One thing people should understand is that Igbos are hustlers and are extremely hard working. They look for every opportunity available (good or bad) to succeed. Create an enabling environment in Nigeria, and see Igbos excel in EVERY sector. When the environment isn't enabling, Igbos create the opportunities for themselves.
Apart from the UK where Yorubas dominate, in almost every other country where blacks are excelling, majority of those who are achieving those feats are Igbos (and even when Igbos are not majority, they will be as successful as Yorubas or any other black tribe that is dominating).

Balyz:
Yes very good and hardworking hustlers in the illegal drug business and most certainly excelling there. I have no choice but to agree

Kennydoc:


Yes you're right. We hustle both in the legal and illegal.
Check out the most recent news about Nigerians doing great outside the country in the past 2 months. Most of them are Igbos. Remember the first black Italian Senator, the first black British Ambassador, the first Nigerian professor of Law at Havard (Dehlia Umunna) and so on. These are news that were shared on Nairaland in the past 1-2 months.
If you come back home in the area of academics, Igbos are leading in most examinations now from Unity schools entrance, WAEC and NECO SSCE, JAMB etc. It shows the natural potentials Igbos have to stand out in everything they put their hands in. That's grace.

highqueen:
abokki weh never squat finish urinate,I still curse the day lugard was born.

Balyz:
Yes keep naming the few legal ones while ignoring the many bad eggs. One of your own opened up a thread justifying the sale of codeine to addicts in the north by saying that Igbos were merely meeting a demand. I like that about him sha because he is just confirming what everyone else already knows- Criminality is a part and parcel of your DNA

wingmanII:


Are you not very confused?
Illicit drugs are illegal, codeine and other cough syrups are never illicit or illegal.
I guess your argument is fuelled by your irrational hatred for the Igbo man. May this hatred choke you to death.

Kennydoc:


The few legal ones? Why not mention to me the few people from your tribe whose exploits were carried on Nairaland since this year. Mention their names and give me the link to the stories let me go and read them.

It's shameful that a stranger comes to your domain and manipulates your people, makes money from their stupidity and walks away, meanwhile that same stupidity isn't found in the stranger's region. It only shows your people (or the people concerned) are brainless.
Are there no pharmacies and drug stores in Igbo land? As a matter of fact, Onitsha has the largest open drug market in Nigeria (at the bridge head). You can buy any medication there without prescription. They sell medications there the same way clothes are sold in shops. How come Anambra doesn't have the highest rate of drug abuse?

You see a man striving to make ends meet in a country in which the government and politicians don't give a damn, and you blame him for plying his trade?
Maybe we should also start blaming Nigeria breweries for all the evils associated with alcohol in Nigeria, or you don't know how many lives have been lost as a result if alcohol?

Balyz:
Typical Ibo man. Justifying criminality all in the name of getting money. I said it criminality runs in your blood

Balyz:
Rubbish. The only point in contention here is the Igbo drug dealer and how to put him out of business, everything else you typed is arrant nonsense
