The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has dubbed Kano among the states with the highest number of drug traffickers and addicts in Nigeria. As such, it has become a society menace that affects everyone in community. It has become very alarming that of the ten million people living in the state of Kano, everyone has a person within his acquaintances that is either a drug addict or is into the use of other illicit substances.

Contrary to conventional form of youths making up the highest number of drug addicts, this society menace has broken into our homes because elderly men, women and even married couples are found among people that patronize such substances, specifically, a cough syrup with a certain percentage of codeine. Many of the people take this substance for the effect known for codeine intake.

The Chairman, House of Representative Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes, Jagaba Adams Jagaba, has decried that the northern part of the country is leading in the menace of drug abuse.

Jagaba decried despite the establishment of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in 1988, in the nation’s effort at suppressing drug menace towards achieving global peace and security, the menace of drug abuse has not been tackled.

BUSH.HUNTER:





you are nt a MUSLIM.....you are a PAGAN....

Sissie:
What area in kano did it happen, because I know for a fact alcohol is allowed in the sabon gari area of kano state, any other part is not allowed. If this was done in sabon gari, it's totally wrong.

Even for the Muslims, breaking the bottles of alcohol makes no difference, people will still sell/buy alcohol.

abdulmujib salv: . Why won't yu agree,you will even agree with far worse factless point of view,such gullible

beejaay: hw u guys reason always amuse me. So because its nt done in a muslim majority side its ok and d right of d minority cn b nonexistent?rili? Will u say the same thing if such is done to u cos u are a minority somewhere? For example in a place where muslin population is less 5percent?hw wil u feel if u are nt allowed to build mosque,celebrate eid,wear ur veil if u are a woman just because u are in d minority.wil u stil take this same stands(i remember vividly hw we complained in anambra during my nysc cos there was no mosque in nnewi). We shd learn to look at all d sides and nt to b seeing as an hypocrite,am sure Quran frown at hypocrisy.if it is in our favour we are cul wit it and if nt we shout and invoke god

tiarabubu:
The funniest part is that we are considering drinking as an act of worship for xtians! Na was. Shameful.

One more reason to make some people brand/continue to brand Islam an intolerant religion. While some Muslims insist on their rights in places they are in minority, other Muslims deny some other people those same rights. And for some twisted logic, its ok?!

Just to be clear, I dont do or support alcohol consumption for health and religious reasons, but I believe those who choose to do so can do so. Its a free country and they have the same right to love the bottle as I have the right to despise it. They can sleep on it, but I will never taste of it - Its their choice and its my decision. End of story.

For one the alcohol were seized ON THEIR WAY into Kano. Is the Kano government saying to blazes with non-muslim bear drinkers, we DONT respect your rights to the bottle? What will the same government say if another state were to say to blazes with Muslims, we dont want to see you in Hijab in public, wear it in your homes? Some people will be here scream of their rights as Nigerians to freedom of religion while forgetting that some peoples freedoms to the bottle are being crushed to smithereens in Kano.

Infact lets not even start with the hypocrisy of Kano receiving VAT money, a large part funded by tax on the very bottle this hisbah are breaking.

The OP is right and I am pleased that some Muslims see this for what it is - hypocrisy.

Sad, really sad.

hybee_noni:

I agree wt ur opinion nd jst wanna mk dis clear dt as a current resident of Sabon Gari in kano state, the smashing of d beer bottles was nt done inside sabon gari, bt since the sharia law is not applied in sabon gari, I think d govt cn avoid creatin confusion to Non kano residents by issuin out licenses to those allowed to sell alcohol inside sabon gari, this way their activities nd distributions of d drinks cn b well monitored

kody-licky:

Geezzzz atimes I wonder what freedom means to a Muslim or nigerians in general.

Ngasky:
freedom have limitations. U dont xpect me to kill u and tell the court that as my freedom i dont want to see you alive. With full freedom (100%) nobody will be prosecuted and by extension all crimes were legalised

Sissie:

In Kano State, Sabon Gari is a predominantly non Muslim area, and the sale of alcohol is allowed, that's the only area In kano, in which the sale of alcohol is allowed publicly and they have bars and joints there, so if the destruction happened in that area then I do agree with OP.

But if it's not sabon gari, then I do not agree with the OP, people who live in kano, already know the law.

abbeysteph: Ds guy watz ur problem?must u alwz act like a fuckn idiot.sims u ar very proud of ur co sinners killing pple wit sword well let ds sink into ur maggot brain we xtians owns ds world n notin ur cohort cud do abt it because we av enough nukes 2 blow u pple out of ds world,d least is 2 kip terrorisn pple wit swords as ur robinhood prophet did but we ve gat d latest drons in our armour.d sounds n hovering of drones in pakistan yemen afghanistan is d fear of ur types

Ngasky: since you assume alcohol good then why cant you fight for cocaine, heroin, opium to be legalize for public consumption? B4 u jump to reply give the difference btw alcohol and other intoxicants (hard drugs) and pls skip the legalise deception done by immoral (s)elected criminals (politicians). Talk from the science persepective not religion (forget xtremism).
I was in kano throughout all the so called religious crises. Whenever such destruction is about to start there is an early warning system of massive purchase of alcohol and other intoxicants. Becouse the miscreants doing that must be fully loaded (high) before they start slaying people and stealing their properties. Ask anybody present at any massacre in Nigeria. Are the perpetrators sane or drunk?
If only for security reasons i support total eradication of all intoxicants in any form. And the government is tasked with the maintainance of security.
Pls christians does alcohol became the eleventh commandment? My own understanding of the new testament says otherwise. But can someone enlighten me?

amiskurie: note:-im saying this as muslim.

well,if christians or other religions are denied their rights,then its against the letter the prophet muhammad(S.A.W) wrote to the church in sinai.the prophet(SAW)made strong warnings that muslims must not denied christian their rights.

pls research that.

Banning alcohol is not an attack on any

should not mix dissimilar issues
