Outright ban of those drugs is not the solution. How many would you ban! Besides, those drugs have a lot of therapeutic benefits and when properly used they treat many ailments. Why is it that those in government don't reason at all. These drugs are being sold in other countries, even our neighboring countries like Ghana. The question is, what are those countries doing differently?? The answer is REGULATION. They don't allow just anybody to open shops in whatever guise and start selling drugs. Drugs are sold by trained pharmacists who are licensed for that purpose and ethical drugs like codeine and co are dispensed only on a physician's prescription. But here in Nigeria, anybody would just open shops and start selling. Train and license pharmacists so that when they default you can easily seize their licenses and prosecute them. A non-pharmacist has only money to lose when you close down his shop, but a pharmacist would lose his money, his license and his professional reputation. But our government would continue chasing shadows instead of doing the right thing. I think these are some of the issues the new drug distribution guideline is set to provide solutions to, and that is if government would not allow political influences to defeat the purpose. States should be made to establish drug distribution centers to be manned by competent pharmacists. Some of these things are in the new drug distribution guidelines. They said the new guideline would be effective from January 2019. Let's just hope they would implement it and not politicise it. Let's just hope!!! |

Jman06: This is what i have been saying since. Our government is so useless, and the people who are foolishly supporting the ban. How many LEGAL drugs do you want to ban? Instead of them to do the right thing, they decided to take the lazy way out... Now that they have banned codiene, what if someone needs cough medicine that has codeine to be treated? 1 Like |

This are signs of a society heading towards self destruction speedily helped by the hopelessness and helplessness in the land. There is so much depression in this country that a lot of youths have turned to hard drugs to ease their pain. The government that is supposed to regulate these drugs have failed and now they are using the sledge hammer to kill a fly. Outright ban is not the solution as some of these drugs are very useful when applied in small dosages. What we have is a reactionary government not a proactive one. The musicians are not helping matters in the way they promote these drugs to our highly impressionable youths. |

I think the root cause of drugs abuse have to be arrest before band products. the company that produce some of this product also recruit and some are the bread winner of their family. the root cause of drug abuse are unemployment both for graduate and non graduate. our educational system is faulty. HND are considered as second citizens not all can afford 4 or 5 years in school without break it. technical school this is like secondary school unlike before. the foundation of the country is faulty. etc |

Nice piece.. Another drug that people are abusing especially athletes n among competitors of school sporting events yet hasn't come to the public notice is furosemide (laxis), an osmotic diuretic...This drug triggers excessive urination in order to lose weight making them lighter so as to meet the weight requirement for a specific sport event...Abusers of such drug usually develop hypovolemic shock owing to excessive dehydration n their eventual death. |

If I may ask, does taking alcohol fit into drug abuse and why? |
Re: Codeine Ban: Five Other Pharmaceutical Drugs Abused By Nigerians by CaptainFM1: 3:03pm On May 08, 2018 |
givan: You are very right. This massive drug addicts case can be traced largely to unemployment which has its root to bad government. |

Youths will try to sniff virtually all the household products to see whichever gets them high. You are not going to ban everything... So, just make jobs available and this addiction will reduce. Are you going to ban the sale of petrol or other products that contained volatile fumes e.g glue, aerosols, chrome-based paint, paint thinner, cleaning fluids, lighter fluids etc |
