I agree with you sir.


NAFDAC has failed to be proactive towards it's duties.

There is nothing to understand.

We do not have a cough epidemic.

Should these manufacturers have witnessed a disproportionate increase in demand they should have cried out even if it was strictly for cough.

Anywhere else in the developed world and they might have their licences revoked.

Enough with your 3rd world reasoning.

Kindly ignore that guy. They always bury their heads in the mud and always expect government to do everything.

You can't blame him. Most are educated illiterates who just know how to read and write. Like the company does not know there's a major increase in the consumption of the drugs and just kept churning out drugs they knew was a controled substance?

lazy nafdac.... they weren't marking any investigations until BBC revelation

That na small thing. .they will collect bribe and open the place again.. As far as its happening during buhari's tenure

DuruCrusher:
Did emzor abuse the drugs?
Or has it stopped being a cough syrup?
onACodeinDiet

Emzor Pharmaceutical company indirectly encouraged the abuse of codeine.

macbede:
Ban or no ban, 30,00 bottles of that substance will be consumed daily in the north.

Who's deceiving who?

You be mumu o. Now tell me who's doing who. An'gbadiye lowo iku........

It saddens me to see our society full of shitty narrative.

So many brain-dead Nigerians.

How can we evolve for the better?

What about the other useful drugs Emzor produces? What will happen to them?

So let me even assume that Emzor was somehow guilty which they are not.

So this govt will permanently shut down Nigeria's biggest pharmaceutical company.?

Mr 1st world Reasoner, we are not even in the same time zone and I doubt if you've even been to the developed world you now represent.

Your mentality is bruised.. Codene is not mainly Emzors, lots of imported products fill the market, other manufacturers do, its just that Emzor got caught in a web by an investigative journalist.

There is no point arguing with you Mr 1st world country reasoner.. Its a bit lugubrious that most people that have never left the shore of the country always claim to have superior argument on behalf of the developed world.


Please cite an instance anywhere in the world where a pharmaceutical company was fined for manufacturing several legitimate drugs more than 'supposed' market demands.

The companies work with regulatory agencies to understand the market.. In Nigeria the regulatory agency is dead but awake after media onslaught.


Shut up Mr develop world reasoner..

Bros,

I doff my hat for you with this submission
1. I think and suggest that regulatory authorities needs to come down hard when ethics and value for human lifes is sacrificed for ungodly profits.
2. Just like you suggest here, heavy fine is not enough. The Managing Director must be sacked and jailed. The company must be wound down. These are necessary steps to make sure other companies adhere to the ethics of the profession and make value for human lives a primary and uncompromising objective

rusher14:
Emzor and the likes cannot claim they didn't realise a disproportionate hike in demand of a product that is strictly a medicine one that could be abused.

When you start churning out medicines like you would beverages it means you are encouraging abuse.

A massive fine should be imposed on these pharmaceutical companies who participated in encouraging abuse of this product well against the ethics of the profession.

I see Nigerians above me once again supporting evil because that is their latest fad.

Nigeria would never be that country you desire it to be as long as your immediate reaction is cynicism and hate.

Nafdac another useless set..

Go n do ur work.. Emzor no they abuse codeine

Biwegofoju:
Hh

For what exactly will someone who's in Nigeria seek for a US number? Or is getting a Verizon, T-Mobile or cellular prohibited in the USA?
To scam people who worked every day of their lives just to get few thousand of dollars or to scam foreign companies that pay millions of dollars to help African children... Y'all scammers should stop this rubbish..
Foreigners do get into this forum. I suggest the owner and controllers of this forum should ban this people advertising fraud!

Some ll call it hustling.. WTF!

The government shouldn't do everything, but what had it done.

Why is it that silly people that support government can't ever be truthful and say things like they are? Wtf is my business with the govt? You sure have issues.

It is with solemnity and honour that I freely and publicly make these PLEDGES.
So help me GOD.



I have said it that only in Nigeria would you find people putting up such defence.
Don't you guys get tired of supporting evil?
Would your society evolve for the better with your view point?

Thanks for giving the idiot this simple answer...He couldn't use his brain to know that pharmaceutical companies and pharmacist have responsibility to control certain drugs from being sold to the general public(Emzor, nd the likes along with their personnel, who at a time might have sworn to this oath have breached these)...I pray Nigerians realize oneday that we all have collective effort to move this country forward. The same attitude the guy portrayed is what lot of us portray while government is fighting corruption. I keep saying it, Nigerians do not deserve a better Nigeria...

They only acted because it was reported by a foreign media. Else they would have been playing politic with it as usual. Funny enough, the highest users were from a particular region. After taking it, they will all obey the last command without reasoning.

Very good! The company is well aware of the massive abuse. 3 Million bottles daily and I'm sure their products are a decent percentage of that number.

You had to switch to insult me.

Like I said earlier you have a problem, your mental matter is maggot eaten.

We are discussing and next thing is insult? How old are you?

You shut down emzor for codene, is it only codene they manufacture? Is NAFDAC dead all these while or just because of the press that they're now forced to do their job?

Dude, you have mental issues, if in a normal discussion you had to resort to insults.

Grow up

Not everyone plays at your lower league level.

We miss proactiveness of Dora Akunyili!the iron lady former NAFDAC boss.

We need statistics to be sure of that, you know.. Since its not only Emzor that manufacture those stuffs

After sealing the company, they can as well seal Northern youths mouths. This is definitely not the right approach. What happened to sanctions? Oh I forgot it is owned by Igbos. The biggest pharmaceutical company in Nigeria has been shut down.

Emzor must be wound down?

Are you listening to yourself?

So who will absorb the workforce thrown into the labour market?

Who will replace Emzor in Nigeria's pharmaceutical industry? In terms of research, products, and local manufacturing.

And most importantly, Will your useless govt go after the much bigger British pharmaceutical companies importing codeine into the country.

Bomb dey All of una head

Such stupidity. Pls shut up and remain so.

carpmam:
I don't know y they are ganging up against emzor,they nafdac gave them the license to produce codeine,they gave them the specific quantity to be produced daily,why are they now sealing the company, have it been established that they produce more of the drug,or is it just because the owner of the company is from the east,or maybe because she is a woman

This is a lazy mans way of attempting to curb the drug abuse problem in nigeria. It is foolish thinking to believe those that are addicted to codeine would simply just stop abusing drugs when they dont have access to it. There are too many alternatives to codeine to think simply banning the drug or closing down the manufacturing companies would make any impact. It won't even cause a dent in the problem.Tramadol abuse is a far greater problem than codeine. Its a prescription only drug, same as codeine, yet getting it is almost as easy as buying paracetamol. Also, drugs like codeine and tramadol have overwhelming medicinal values and has saved alot more lives than its abuse has damaged. A sane govt would focus on why we have a drug abuse problem in the first place and not the symptoms of the problem. What they are doing now is likeable to using paracetamol to treat malaria instead of antimalaria medications. We have a long way to go

They will say its witch hunting of lgbo businesses

The negative comments I'm reading here against NAFDAC and the FG prove that the problem of Nigeria is Nigerians themselves.

Well Said !!! But Buhari must still Go !!!!!

codeine is not an illegal drug. It is the world's best cough therapy.

If people get high on penicillin for example, are you going to sanctions companies producing the product.

What kind of idiots do we have in this country?

There are British companies producing and exporting codeine. Why haven't the BBC called for their investigation?

Are you sure the BBC were not contracted by a foreign pharmaceutical. ? They are certainly not beyond that.
