It is quit unfortunate that in our local societies today,the intake of hard drugs in now common that those who take it no longer hide in taking it.

Come out to the major streets,you will see people taking hard drugs as if it has legally approved by the government.

The law enforcement agencies that is supposed to check mate this people are even taking it more...

This has become a serious problem in our locality..as

1). You see young people continue to go mad everyday in our society.

2).there is an increase in crime.

3). Criminality is on the increase.

4).Lack of good health.

e.t.c


Government really need to do something about this before we lose all our boys in the cold hand of madness.

Too bad.

The moral that people hold in the society have gone really down to the extent that a lot of the people that takes this substance don't consider it so bad because it's something that the majority of the people around them are into. The government can only organise sensitisation program to help educate youths on the dangers of these substance but those that have the majority responsibility is the parents that are the primary guidance of most of these youths.

If from the home, the right orientation is being given to these youths, a lot of them won't even think of getting involved in this kind of vices let alone get to the extent of consuming some of the despicable substance that most of them consume. If you have good moral upbringing, you don't need to be forced to know that taking hard substance is a bad practice that should be avoided.

E get one slogan wey English people dey use wey I like, them say “See it. Say it. Sorted” that one mean say anything wey you see wey dey wrong make you report am to police and them go sort am. Before you start this topic e belike the matter for your area strong, I go suggest say next time when you see that kind activity for street report am to the authorities make them take action nor be everything we go dey debate on. Make we do our part to help the society.

Hard drugs is very dangerous for human body like this oo, our youth need to hear this one so that them go learn how to control themselves, if some of them never take drugs them no fit get themselves, but they feel it’s an enjoyment while they are killing themselves, hard drugs is one of the things way the cause untimely death and destruction of society, it can lead to sickness and stroke way go lead to death, hard drugs causes mental illnesses way be say you they see so many people for street way they mad, and other are in psychiatric hospitals, it’s also a factor take makes people go into criminal activity.

Well I think the Government is trying to do everything possible to eradicate this things for we government, but this agency way they in charge are corrupt.

Some of these drugs wey we dey see as people dey take dey go mental na better drugs oh wey fit cure strong sickness but when them don over take am nai e go become problem. Pikin wey dey 16-20+ years wan dey on a very high level and I no sabi the reasons why them choose to take over dose of meds? E start with small and now na different substances them dey mix before you know person brain don reset, I no go blame the government becos this one na personal decision even some men for the government position dey take am too so I no go get pity if I see anybody wey dey run ment for street except the ones them force to drug them, see this drugs matter e no fit stop since we never know the source wey this drugs dey come from and some of we doctors dey hide dey give some people so how e wan take stop?

Gen Z doesn't see intake of hard drugs as a crime anymore because the government have failed to carry out their duties properly. What matters is that you should avoid the environment where people take hard drugs to keep you safe from danger. I feel it's because of the bad government and lack of job opportunities that has increased the high rate of drug abuse.

Looks like the government is backing up those drug dealers if not, why are we not seeing the peo2that have been arrested for drug traffic every day in our society.

Lol e be like you no follow dey this our country oo. Yes wetin you talk na true, but for this our country, I no sure say that rule dey applicable oo, because you fit go put yourself, your family and love ones for serious danger on a process of trying to be the Hero. E get one movie wey I watch wey really teach me serious lessons, the movie name na "Breath of Life" if you don watch the movie, then you go know wetin I dey try talk here. Rev father wey see the atrocious things wey dey happen for the town decided to speak up and testify against the injustice wey dey happen there, and na so him take lose him family and yet, the problem no still solve.

Sincerely speaking the intake of hard drugs among youths in the Nigeria of today has become an epidemic, I don't know how the national orientation agency are going to work out modalities to tackle this pandemic, they just need to do something to reorientate the minds of the youths, the national drug law enforcement agency have been doing their effort in tackling pharmaceutical shops that sells this drugs to gullible youths, but their effort has not been enough, we need stiffer laws and punishment for drug abusers and for the people that are selling this illegal drugs too. In my street sometimes in the night you see a lot of them walking like zombies after taking in this drugs.

Drug na like normal thing for d society wey wey Dey now, if you even Dey some places, and you no Dey follow dem do drugs, dem go Dey use one kin eye Dey look you, but Wetin Dey suprise me pass na him be say Wetin those people Dey get from those drugs wey dem Dey take? If you Dey reason say you get problem, and na only that drug go make u forget ur problem, make u just know say d problem na just temporarily u go forget am, if ur eye clear finish you go still face am, so instead of taking drugs, why not just look for way to solve the problem.

The law enforcement and people wey Dey take d drugs, difference no Dey, if all those drugs enforcement arrest people wey Dey do all dis drugs, any drug wey dem meet with dem, na d law enforcement Dey take am again, some go seize drugs from people, still go back to sell am give other sets again.

Seriously government suppose find solution to dis, because d rate at which people Dey do drugs now no funny ooo, and na why even crime rate Dey increase be that. Some people fit do anything if dem don high already, and some ready go to anything just to get money to high.

It is as a result of unemployment that we have young people all over our streets polluting it with drug abuse. Gambling addiction is also on the increase because of lack of unemployment. If we have enough jobs then we will not have unemployed youths or atleast the ones that are working will motivate others to make use of their talents and skills to get a job that can pay them well to take full control of their lifes. Drug abuse has been a problem of the country for a long time but way it is becoming so obvious recently is because of the rate at which the youths are unemployed and those that have some things that is giving them money, thinks living like the pop stars is a flex of how big and popping they are. We need education all over the country before things get out of hand. Many youths are dieing because of overdose of this drugs always and this is becoming a big problem for the governments.

Actually, sometimes it is not bad to take hard drugs but what I think is bad is the way they take those drugs constant. Too much of everything is bad and most of the hard drugs have side effects in the human body. If you really want to see people taking hard drugs in public, I think you should try and visit the ghetto areas, people there don't hide it anymore and am sure that the local police can't go there.

The intake of hard drugs don become a dilemma we d face as a country. It is giving us a whole lot of concerns that the future of dear country is in jeopardy that can not be saved if the necessary measures are not taken now to get it corrected.

Em d very unfortunate, that our government doesn't care to all this, to bring an end to this mess that has fallen on the youths(men and females). These days em don become a norm between the youths to find drugs as what gives them comfort, peace of mind, agility, cures their depression. They don't even hide it again, to buy and sell drugs. Someone can buy drugs on the streets they live in, without fear. And the sale of drugs has become a booming business

Excessively intake of Hard drugs can be very harmful to our health,it could cause significant damage to our vital organs like the liver, brain and the kidneys and in most remote health cases is responsible for kidney failure, brain damage that often results to madness and other inappropriate insane behaviors. Digestion of such poisonous substance can cause Health Deterioration and death. In my own opinion, I will suggest to individuals who are addicts to hard drugs like Tramadol,methamphetamine cocaine, Fentanyl, heroin any other hard drugs to visit a doctor for medical advice. Hard drugs of such can sent  an individual to jail if caught in possession of this drugs and as such should be avoided at all times

The intake of hard drugs has cause a great damage to individuals who involved themselves in such act and to the society as a whole. Too bad most people get addicted to it and can't do without taking this hard drugs not knowing the great damage it will cause to their health most especially the society suffers the most. Youths commit crime's due to the influence of this hard drugs e.g robbery, rape, murder, fraud and lots more that the major reason i think the society also suffers the most not only to their health
           I think the government should put in more effort if possible stop the distribution of these hard drugs

No be lie o, you go just enter street dey see how men go just dey smoke things wetin no good. The thing be say some of this addict sabi the dangers of this hard drugs, but yet Dem go still dey addicted to am like I no just understand.  90 percent of cancerous patient where once smoker. All this drug dey very dangerous to the body. Omo government gat really do something if not we go just wake up one morning see say all hard drug user don mad finish for street.

As  we dey wait for the government to play their own part, we fit also start by advising our brother, or friend or sister way be addict say make they stop am due to long term damage.

We can't really afford loose more youth, I mean enough is enough.

You are right mate, have not seen any usefulness of hard drugs than to harm, if you have experienced it do not go into it, many have lost their lives and properties as a result of hard drugs and pressure. The annoying part is that poor guys are into hard drugs too, people that barely eat three times a day, and this has resulted them to steal from people to buy the drugs, in my community you cant sleep with two eyes closed, they will steal all your property to buy drugs. its that bad in my community, so many young guys has gone mad ,cause of drugs. yet the younger ones are still taking it, no lesson from others. personally have done orientation on youth and drugs, just to discourage them from taking. i urge everyone reading this to join hands and speak against drugs abuse in our society today.   

Why take drugs that are not prescribed by the doctor? Anything outside the doctor's prescribed medication, it's referred to as drug abuse. Drugs is simply killing our young youth and there's absolutely no way things can be done inother to reshape the current standards of these drug abuse. Hard drugs have so many complications and we know where all is headed. Been a drug addict, alot comes with it and there are presence of some many disadvantages, some of these addicts can not lived up long enough before they cease to exists.

Thoroughly dome more research and I've come to the conclusion that drug can never be any part of me, I know the dangers involved and have seen the vast number of drug addicts ruined the solid plans they has for themselves, and things not working out for them as planned. Drugs is popular now and the best we can do is simply abstain from any acts of indulging in it.

Ah! It's like say to someone, sin but don't sin. Womanize but don't Womanize always. Do bad things but don't do bad things constantly. While on the surface, this might look like advising someone to do things moderately, it is basically encouraging dem in a way, to say they should do it but not constantly, when you know how addictive such act can be. Hard drugs is highly addictive and causes mental disorders. Once you begin to take a drugs, it will make your brain addictive to it that the taker won't want to withdraw from it. Withdrawal syndrome is another factor that makes it more difficult for addicts to quite. So for me, it either you stop or you continue to be addicted to it.

In Africa Nigeria precisely, we don't wait for doctor's prescription because the doctors would delay you. Though there are many factors that making people not to wait for doctor's prescription because of high cost of hospital bills, waiting to take the doctor's prescription in a very long queue etc. so many went ahead to do self medication.

To eradicate drugs our government can only stop the promotion of those products and add "deadly" words on the packaging there is nothing more to do. There are various programs from individual centered campaigns to institutional and government programs to increase social awareness about the negative effects of drugs. I think family awareness is more important than state campaigns for drug control. Parents should keep an eye on the people with whom the guys of the family are associating and where they are going and should make their children aware of every activity.

Our government is getting a huge amount of tax every year from drugs, that's being spent on the development of the country so instead of finding a solution by stopping the source of government income it should focus on increasing awareness among the usual people.

We must come to the reality that no system, enforcement agency or parents can enforce any law they themselves are not willing to obey.
You can not say I forbid meat, and you still use your teeth to share the same meat.

The high intake of hard drugs today in our society is based on these factors.

1. Lack of good parental up-bringing.
2. Yielding to peer pressure due to lack of understanding.
3. Low self-esteem, so trying to belong and be noticed.

So many people due to lack of understanding use this hard drugs to stimulate strength for sex or strength to work beyond normal time without knowing the dangerous after effect.

Most people know say anything hard drugs dey involve so much dangers yet, them go still dey take am.

Even when people tell them say wetin them dey do no good, they go say no be today they start am, and nothing don do them, them no hear wetin other people dey talk until them go experience am before they go listen and then fit dey late and dey go dey seek help.

Na why, mad people dey plenty nowadays, because of hard drugs, hard drugs don make person don from good to bad and this kind things dey mostly cause by the influence of friends, na why person gats dey careful for who they call friends.

Unless this situation is changed from the beginning, at some point it will turn into an epidemic. The new generation will continue to think that drug use is completely legal in society. The government has to play a major role in this concern. If no one comes forward to prevent it because it can be a threat to them, if the government makes these laws and takes action against them, the use of drug can be reduced to a large extent. The roads from where drugs are smuggled must be closed. If the government's efforts are honest and the people working surround it and play a good role in controlling it, then it is definitely possible to eradicate drugs. Who working to control drug should be monitored to see if they are also drug addicts or corrupt, otherwise it is not possible to control.

Consumption of hard drugs by our youth in present time has been a major problem to the society, taking and involving in drugs has now been a normal life most of our youth are living not minding the demages it might cause them in future.
In my opinion I say I blame their parents or guardian because if they were doing what they are supposed to do as of that initial stage, teaching them some  morals and bringing up there children in the fear of God all this thing wouldn't have happened at the first place.

Secondly, idolness, not been busy with your skills or job, it gives you all the time to start doing nonsense, a idol man is the devil workshop is in the Bible.

So my little advice , if you are involved in drugs please stop because life no get duplicate.

Soon in the near future we will start having a blown rate in people between the age of 25 to 40 suffering from lungs, liver, kidney and heart diseases as a result of intake of hard drugs substances and other dangerous substances to the body that they consume just to have a highnesses feeling. Some do take these drugs to have sex drive that will last them in bed for long.
Not in all bad characters of a youth that will be blaming their parents. There are youths that were groomed in the way of the lord along with their siblings but one chooses to go astray due to social influence of peer groups.

You dey show how important am to dey consistent and accountable when we dey enforce law and promote responsible behavior.
- Hypocrisy dey spoil authority: When people wey dey in charge no follow the rules wey dem dey enforce, e fit make people no trust dem again and e go affect how effective dem go be.
- Parental influence: Good parenting fit play big role for how children go take shape their values and behavior.
- Peer pressure and self-esteem: Young people fit dey more vulnerable to peer pressure and dey seek validation, wey fit lead dem to risky behavior like substance abuse.
- Lack of understanding: Plenty people fit no fully understand the risks and consequences of substance abuse, wey fit lead to harmful decisions.

If we fit recognize these factors, we go fit work towards creating better environment wey go support and inform people to make healthy choices and responsible behavior.

Morality is going into extinction gradually, you see young women are into drugs too, they even market it codedly and sell to others. Most of these young men now take it anywhere and anyhow like In an open space and no fear of being caught by security agencies.

Guess, the reason for this actions is that the people who are meant to safeguard and protect this young people from hard drugs are being lobbied so why the stress ni.. once they're caught with it immediately the put calls to higher officials or fund the account of these officers and that's the end.

Some of all these drugs intake started from boarding school, some parents will take their kids there and all they do is work work and work, and they no absolutely nothing happening in the lives of their children. Women are even into drugs which is bad, imagine a young woman being tested, and the doctors confirmed drugs in her blood stream, and she will tell you outrightly that it keeps her sane.

Some say it makes you relax, feel less pain and some can't function in their daily activities without it.. Have seen ladies take drugs before going to read, for me NDLEA and other drug enforcement Agencies should take this seriously because the police are not helping matters at all..

And parents need to do well too, working to give your children the best life is good, but don't forget to always be present in their lives. Children that boards are often prone to drug's, and if care is not taking in years to come young men and women will be walking the streets deranged.

The intake of drugs in the society is becoming very alarming, which it sometimes makes me wonder what the future holds. I will not fully blame the government on this one, although they have their own fault too and I will not entirely put the blames on their parents too.
This might sound foolish to some people, but I really think it depends more on the individual that is into drugs. Some of this people have a very good home bringing,  but still end up doing drugs, so you don't blame there parents for their own decisions. On the government part, most will argue that the government is corrupt and don't take care of their citizens; this statement is also true, but sometimes you see people that are well to do, with a very good job and are still into drugs.
So in conclusion,  I think it's an individual thing rather than blaming the government or parents.

This particular matter, dem no need advice anybody to be careful with the things e dey take in. I believe everybody wey dey this forum na matured person, and we dey see the things wey dey happen online everyday, so for those wey dey neglect wetin drugs dey do people and still dey takam, na their cup of tea.
I no wan talk about the addictive part of drugs, I dey talk about the side effects and the things drugs fit turn you into if you no stopam. Na ur Matta be dat, but no wait for anybody to advice you make you stop, because you wey dey do drugs know say e no good for health and you still dey takam, so continue, one day, ur mind go dey.

The danger of intake of drugs by Nigerian youth can not be overemphasized. The truth is hard drugs is very bad for our health,  but I wonder why most Nigerian youth still engage in it. Some of our youth are in mental homes why some are roaming the street after losing their senses due to drugs intake, but still a lot of youths are still in the business of taking hard drugs.
There is still the issue of this youths engaging in crime after the intake of drugs. Its really a troubling issue in the country right now and the government really need to find a way to curb the circulation of drugs in the country, so we don't lose our youth to drugs

There are so much danger associated with the intake of hard drugs, and the habit of taking hard drugs is common among the youths, and they are so much addicted to it that they have lost total control of it.

The rate at which people take this hard drugs, more especially our youths is so alarming, after taking this hard drugs, they will become tormented by the drugs and they will begin to misbehave, insulting their superiors, steeling and committing all sorts of evil and exhibiting some mannerless behavior, and when they lack money to take this drugs they even go as far as even selling their properties or even steeling from their house in order to take this drugs .

The intake of hard drugs can pose serious danger to somebody's health, hard drugs will weaken someone immune system, making you vulnerable to diseases and infection, and can equally make someone's life useless and miserable, it is one of the causes of youths insanity.

I feel something can be done to reduce the intake of hard drugs, more especially among the youths, the government, health organizations or even group of people can decide to embark or enlightenment campaign, this could be done through social media platforms,  physical campaign, and can even be through audio recording, telling them on the dangers involved and how they can do away with it.

If this method is deployed, I feel it will help a lot , especially among the youths.

Yes, I do see it somewhat differently, but I do understand your point. Yes, individuals must be able to make their own personal decision, but society also has a significant impact on those decision. People's upbringing in poverty, negative influences, stress, and a lack of opportunities all contribute to the fire. Drug intake rate would decline if our government were to play their part in this by  creating awareness campaigns, providing mental health service and employments for the youths.
