The pharmacist you love.

Dear @davido;
This donkey does not in anyway represent the people of the north, we from the north and Nigeria in particular really commend what you did and will be willing to support you on this cause.
Don't bother yourself with the opinion of this donkey, we will deal with him from here.

Best regard;
A fan, and a patriotic citizen.
Thank you.

[NASIRU @iamnasboi]

I’m 34 years old, and this is the worst I’ve ever seen Nigeria in my lifetime.
The level of insecurity, hardship, and hopelessness across the country is heartbreaking

[Emmanuel Echeta @PenTitan]

Tinubu has been president for 3 years, but you're still doing Tinubu and Obi governorship comparisons

Are you not stupid?

[Pharm. Maidoki 💊 @PharmMaidoki]

My brother @MrMekzy_, this your post hit me deep.

I remember one evening in the pharmacy, a young woman walked in, eyes red from crying. She held her arm like it was on fire and whispered, “Bros, please... just one pentazocine injection. My husband beat me again today. The pain is too much, I can’t even lift my baby.”

Her story was heavy. My heart wanted to help. But I looked at her arm the old injection marks, the way she was already shaking for the next fix.

I gently asked for the prescription. She started begging, “Doctor said I should tell you on phone...” I refused.

Instead, I sat her down, cleaned the counter, gave her paracetamol and a cold compress, and spent 15 minutes explaining why that “small injection” was quietly destroying her veins and her life.

I referred her to a proper clinic and a support group I know. She left angry that day. Two months later, she came back — this time with a real prescription for her sickle cell crisis. She hugged me and said, “Thank you for not giving me that day. I almost died from infection in my thigh from all those dirty injections.”

This is why we must stand firm, no matter how touching the story.

Pentazocine is not ordinary medicine in Naija, it’s become a silent epidemic.

People are losing limbs, families are breaking, youth are hooked before 25. One “small favour” from a pharmacist can become another person’s nightmare.

We are not heartless. We are the last gatekeepers.

Let’s keep protecting our people, even when it makes us unpopular.

The real help is not in the injection, it’s in saying “No” when we have to, and guiding them to real care.

God bless every pharmacist standing on business like this.

Valid point on understanding consumer behaviour in Nigeria; why people with simple sore throat skip hospitals or health tech platforms. That question deserves honest discussion.

But structures meant to help patients must FIRST DEMONSTRATE REAL COLLABORATION, not competition.

1. How AFFORDABLE are these doctor apps and teleconsult platforms?

2. How well integrated are they for SEAMLESS HANDOFF to pharmacists, labs, or follow-up care?

Most aren’t free, and that barrier matters in our context. The logic of studying behaviour is sound, but the execution matters. Pivoting from “why this behaviour?” straight into promoting a PAID DOCTOR APP, while framing PHARMACIST AS THE PROBLEM, comes across as SELF-SERVING. It undermines the very professionals many Nigerians trust as their first (and often only) accessible point of care.

Make quality consultation truly affordable or free for basic cases. BUILD GENUINE INTEGRATION ACROSS PROFESSIONS. Then watch behaviour shift naturally.
Let’s design systems that work with HOW PEOPLE ACTUALLY SEEK CARE, not against it.

[Bremen @Rxbremen]

I overlooked before, you are probably doing it for Elon Musk money but many Nigerians need to know and learn so I’ll explain, and the explanation is not for you.

First the Word Chemist is outdated by Nigerian law, we do not have Chemist any more, what we have is called PPMV.

PPMV means Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors. Why exactly do we have them ? Because for a long time, a lot of individuals have opened various “chemist” shops all across the country.

They are regulated and controlled by the Pharmacist Council of Nigeria, they are limited to sell only OTC, so your paracetamol, NSAIDs, anti malaria, cough medicines, antacids and condoms.

PPMVs are not allowed legally to sell Antibiotics, BP medications, Antipsychotics, or any of the opioids; they are also not allowed to sell any form of injectables, they should not sell or administer any injectables.

The PPMVs are not required to learn any training about drugs or medications, they are not schooled, the idea is for them to be outlets especially in the remote and rural communities.

We do not have enough pharmacies in Nigeria evenly spread out, most pharmacies are located in the state capitals, and major urban cities. Hence, why the PPMV structure is still being used.

In a pharmacy, many individuals who come to work, as cleaner, sales attendants, and IT students, often spy and try to learn from a distance, and as such after some years they decide to open their own PPMV.

You shouldn’t go to ask any PPMV for drug recommendations or counsel, because they don’t know anything, they just learnt from long stay in pharmacy, so they might know various brands, know various companies, know what they use the drug for because they have dispensed it over time, but they have no idea why things work certain ways.

A good number of these PPMV try and sell drugs outside their purview, because they believe that is where maximum profits are, but it’s wrong, and some are apprehended and dealt with especially in major cities.

[Dr Champion @SugarDocHealth]

One of the saddest things in Nigerian healthcare is how professionals publicly tear each other down on this app.

Doctors vs nurses.
Pharmacists vs doctors.
Lab scientists vs everyone.

Meanwhile, in stronger healthcare systems, patient care is built on collaboration, mutual respect, and understanding professional boundaries.

No single profession is the “alpha and omega” of medicine.

The best patient outcomes happen when everyone brings their distinct expertise to the table without a power struggle.

Ego has damaged our health sector more than we care to admit.

Hopefully, we heal too.

We go dey alright las las

@MrMekzy_ Peace of mind and mind my business,that pays of course 😎

[Richard Oluwamayowa @Olaogun_]

Hello @LCFC

I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. I’ve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.

I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.

I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.

My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn

Thanks,
Olaogun

You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

I have no problem with Islam. I’m just against beheading, stoning, marrying little girls, sexual slavery, taqiyya, slave trading, rape, forced conversions, jihad, burqa, attacking other religions, child abuse, women abuse, animal abuse, multiple wives, murder, Sharia, terrorism, brainwashing, intolerance, greed, anti-science, torture, illiteracy, gluttony, genital mutilation, inbreeding. Does that make me Islamophobic?

[SKALES @youngskales]

@HQNigerianArmy just to let you know the soldiers that you put at the lagos international airport have become nuisance… all they do now is stop luxurious cars & bully the drivers and passengers-just because they are young then ask for Martel money… the Nigerian army use to have honor but it’s filled with jokers now … hopefully you do something about this

[PHARMAHUBNG @pharmahub_NG]

PAY PHARMACIST WELL!!

What truly is the value of a Pharmacist in present day Nigeria?

Please 🙏 I am begging on behalf of all Pharmacist today, Please Pay Nigerian Pharmacists well, it makes no sense what so ever for a pharmacist to go to school for 5 to 6 years to end up, earning as low as 200k even as a locum/assistant Pharmacist.

Not every Pharmacist will leave Nigeria or something, Please employers of labour in Pharmacy space, PSN, PCN and ACPN pay these persons well.

You are not doing a pharmacist any good by employing them, you are actually doing yourself and your brand well by having a Pharmacist.

For Christ sake , 200k is the barest minimum even 300k can't buy much for a pharmacist that went to school for 5 ,6 years .

Let's stop this madness, it is sickening.

@beemuhamma Thank the northern camp and weather for bringing you u back to a healthy skin tone and stop bleaching

[Nurse Bassey™️ @Nursebassey_]

A doctor was assaulted yesterday and the hospital has practically been on shutdown since then because everyone wants management to listen to the doctors’ demands.

This is the kind of unity I’m always talking about.

I dey very sure say if na nurses, med lab scientists, or pharmacists, many doctors for still dey work normally or NMA go just release one memo saying services should continue as usual.

[Toyeeb Suleiman @SuleimanToyeeb]

@NafdacAgency ! Can we actually start holding this organization accountable for a lot of things?

Someone called out a bread recently, till date we dont know what was done by nafdac on tgat regards.

There are many fake drugs and drinks everywhere in the country. Little to nothing is being done, and when they try to do something… perpetrators aren’t brought to books, we dont see them getting jailed… shops arent locked for selling those products, just in sha Allah and vibes.
