speedyboi: I don't blame WHO....since they don't have Malaria in their countries, why won't they come and be banning rubbish? And trust Nairalanders; since na White man's law....no need for questions, they are always right . but when a Nigerian organization makes a much more reasonable law, they rain curses. Mtcheew

Now on to my points why I think this is the most stupiid ban ever!
1.The reason given doesn't warrant that the drug be banned!: 'People don't complete their doses thereby can create resistance breeds' blah blah blah..... and the next thing you do is to ban? Whatever happened to Hospitals sensitizing their patients on how important it is to complete their doses? Sorry WHO, but if na the same Nigerians I know; The fact that they don't complete 7-day Chloroquine doses translates to: 'Your 3-day dose ACTs Alternative will be taken for just one day!'

2. WHO might mean 'World whatever' but can't dictate to us 'what works for us' or 'doesn't'!: Yea...that's what it is. And thank God NAFDAC didn't even bother to enforce their nonsensical ban! I thought only 'irredeemably harmful' drug are meant to be banned? These drugs are not even 'harmful' (in the real sense of it) to start with. Most medical personnel I've asked think the ban is unnecessary. Besides, have they finished banning Genetically Modified Foods in their countries? That they are banning harmless drugs in Africa? Yeye people.

3. Chloroquine still remains one of the best cures for Malaria: Yea...someone like me for example; that 'ACTs alternative' provided doesn't cure me (I don't know why). How did I know this? During the time it was banned and Choroquine etc were taken off Pharmacy stores, I had malaria. one those ACTs was prescribed for me. I used the complete dose, yet no changes. The Hospital had to later prescribe Chloroquine for me. Infact, I was unable to get it in big pharmacy stores (cos I don't like Chemists; i fear fake drugs ). I had to report back to the hospital and they were able to dust out one for me from their 'Archive' . <--------I guess the ban is not enforced in Nigeria cos of people like me.

Pls tell them. Our major health issue in nigeria is malaria, so how would you ban these drugs without substitute. And mind you these drugs are still effective, mosquitoes are still alive we still need treatment over and over again.
We have Nafdac offices in our ports under Port Inspections Directorate and they are working.

Gej's do or die politics will land him in a big mess very soon.

dominique: Can bluberry be gotten in Nigeria?
Thanks for the info op, not particularly new to me but a good reminder all the same.

No, we only have blackberry.

hardbody: You all are missing the point. When a court is in session, absolute quiet is what is expected, infact it is not allowed for ing vehicles to blare their horn. If caught disturbing the proceedings by your noise making, it is actually contempt and you could be so docked to purge you of that contempt.

No one is above the law (so to speak) and Corpers are no exceptions. immunity ko immunization ni

I learnt d corp were there for their CD, so the NYSC officials should ve been arrested in the first place.

Lemme give u 50 thousand and lemme see you succeed... He toiled and walked hard. He was smart. Youths of today will be buying pencil jeans instead. He deprived himself of somethings... He was purposeful.
So shut ur trap about..."Right thinking person" bullshit.

Think well.
