Ban codeine syrup now, Sokoto governor, Aminu Tambuwal urges FG – Royal Times of Nigeria.

Sokoto state governor, Aminu Tambuwal, worried by the rampant abuse of the cough syrup by youths and even married women, particularly in the Northern region, has called on the Federal government to ban the sale of syrups that have codeine as part of its constituents.

Governor Tambuwal made the appeal when he spoke at a workshop on Addiction and Prevention held at the Sultan Maccido Institute of Quran and General Studies, Sokoto on Tuesday.

Represented by the state Commissioner of Health, Dr. Balarabe Kakale, Governor Tambuwal said the cough syrups with codeinde should be banned because they are not saving lives.

He said, “The Federal Government should ban the sale of codeine in Nigeria because they are not life saving drugs.”

We can't have it both ways

Either music is impressionable, which it is, and thus why people are calling out "cultural appropriation" or its not

shyt been around for decades I think rap music just made it mainstream for folks who had no clue.

Philly had a block who sold that shyt since the 70s Jefferson Street in North Philly. I just think these youngbul don’t have a clue how deadly this shyt is.

Lol at thinking hip hop has anything to do with this. I'm assuming none of you have ever been to Northern Nigeria before.
