It is no longer news that many young guys indulge in taking hard drugs such as cannabis and other highly intoxicating drugs like skunk and codeine but the latest trend of young Nigerian girls taking hemp, skunk, codeine, etc, is something that makes one wonder deeply! In fact, it beats my imagination to know that this destructive habit or should I say trend, is slowly eating dangerously into the African culture!!! It is very clear that the western culture has gained another ground on the African soil and this time around, it has bitten so hard on many of our supposed young and promising girls who now see excessive consumption of hard drugs as the best way to enjoy life! The lack of proper vigilance of most of our young parents, insensitivity of government's security and health agencies, absence of effective cultural re-orientation and peer pressure are some of the sure causes of this latest and destructive trend!!!

Last weekend, Saturday to be precise, I went to the local neighbourhood grocery store to pick some provisions when I saw this pretty young girl of about 18 coming towards my direction. Her steps were slightly unsteady. As she passed, I waved at her and said 'Hi' friendly with a smile on my face but she said nothing. She stopped for a while, looked at me in a very dumb manner, with red and sleepy eyes without uttering a single word, then continued her journey home! I was still wondering why she acted the way she acted when the store attendant told me not to bother myself about her; that she normally takes that route to the riverside often to smoke and sip codeine. I later learnt that she is an undergraduate in one of the private universities!!! What a waste of youthful years and energy!

Are these the type of wives and mothers our society is grooming for the coming generation? Skunk and codeine mommies?

What about the young men? Some, as young as 14!!! Are they the type of husbands and fathers our society is breeding for the coming generation? Cannabis daddies?

Nigerian youths hardly copy the good aspects of the western culture; they would prefer the destructive ones!!!

I think you are exaggerating. I am a young Nigerian, living in Nigeria and I don't know a thing about "skunk". What exactly is "skunk" as for codeine, isn't that supposed to help cough and is found in cough syrups?

Thank you very much! . How I wish they were familiar with the new trend and how common these drugs are used freely in the streets!!!

The worst is that the general psychology and mental balance of a lot of youths is rapidly deteriorating. You see people behaving so unseemly and it's so sad. Some of us who really abused drugs and quit will understand better. When you can no longer count the number of friends who overdosed or went permanently crazy with your fingers you thank God for saving grace. One of my guy had serious mental and health challenge cos he wanted to outdo a 'small girl' in a mixture of one bottle of codeine and magic moment vodka. No be small problem wey em get. Every body body no be the same. Some dey show instantly and some go wait make you Nak 40+ Na that time you go grab the truth of the matter.

Issokay

i once had a neighbour whose son ran mad at 15 and eventually died at 16 from drug abuse.

op repent of your evil demonic nature and turn to Jesus.

What has your write-up got to do with western culture??
