Igbos Blamed For Prevalence Of Drug Abuse In The North. by Masterclass32: 9:09am On Apr 03, 2018 |
A lecturer at the Faculty of Communication, Bayero University Kano, Bala Mohammed, has pointed accusing finger on the Igbo drugs merchants for allegedly supplying codeine syrups into northern Nigeria. The lecturer made the accusation while presenting a paper at the Kano Youth Summit on Peace Advocacy and Development, organised by Hamisu Magaji Foundation, at Mambayya House, on Monday. In the paper titled: “Nexus between youth, drugs, crime and insecurity”, Mr Mohammed blamed the Igbos, with connivance of local people, for the prevalence of drug abuse in the northern region, especially Kano state. Mr Mohammed wondered why drug abuse was not prevalent in the Southeastern region, but the Igbo people resorted to supplying cough syrup that contains codeine for the consumption of the Northern youth. “Our investigation revealed that drug abuse is beyond normal marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, etc. It has moved to the extent that the medicines we take in order to cure our diseases are now being converted into hard drugs. “We then discovered that it is the handiwork of the Igbo people, who connive with our local people here, to supply the codeine into our region, especially into Kano state. “There are many instances where Igbo guys were arrested over supplying codeine into Kano and some parts of the North. The cases have been reported on national dailies. “So, why shouldn’t they take it to their region? Why don’t their youth engage in drug abuse? This is really sad, and we have to rise up to fight this menace,” he lamented. Mr Mohammed also blamed court judges for compromise to secure the release of the suspects without trial, noting that, that was the reason the problem was deteriorating. He, therefore, called on the general public to fight the menace themselves within their respective communities, advising the public not to disown the youth engaged in drug abuse. Speaking earlier, the chairman of the foundation, Hamisu Magaji, said the essence of the summit was to enlighten the youth ahead of the 2019 elections. https://dailynigerian.com/igbos-blamed-for-prevalence-of-drug-abuse-in-north/ |

I have never seen a reasonable Muhammad in my life even the greatest of all Muhammeds was a pervert and a terrorist. There is no way Igbos we be drinking alcohol and be abusing drugs, in Anambra state there are 3 brewery plants that supply the people with vintage liquor but you don't see junkie in Anambra state. We drink alcohol responsibly because we were raised responsibly 3 Likes |

Why is Mr Bala Mohammed thinking � through his cap? Are the ibos and others forcing the northern youths to buy and do drugs? Come to think of it, the hausas themselves have their own sources of supply because I was told that there is competition among the suppliers. They all make money out of it. This is a general problem all over Nigeria. In all, the Nigerian youths should be enlightened to stop doing drugs. 3 Likes 1 Share |

AnambraDota: you are definately not from anambra. in fact, you are not igbo. we dont say things that compromise us. @topic. that speaker is so misinformed. igbos don't supply hard drugs to kano. Lebanese are the ones doing the business and are making huge profit from it. northerners should stop blaming igbos for their woes! the dumb speaker is looking for an excuse to send his almajiris to attack igbo shops. 2 Likes |

This should be investigated and if the igbos in the north are found guilty then they should be punished according to the law...if this accusation is false, then the professor should be charged and dealt with so that he will serve as a scapegoat to others who feel they can come out and say whatever they want...tribalism will lead Nigeria nowhere, cos this man can't tell me that it is igbos that are corrupting the already corrupted northern youths, then he should go to Alaba arago in lagos so that he will see how his people abuse drugs and behave like animals even fighting in the middle of the road and causing traffic. |

fuckerstard: If they had their d!ckhead imams decrying the evils of narcotics consumption with the same sadistic fervor they employ in castigating, demonizing and mobilizing against other peaceful religions, cultures and ethnic groups, maybe their misbegotten spawn would have a better chance of it. Even the demographics of littering everywhere with vagrant urchins aids them in producing more drug-prone vagabonds which was useful to their leaders in years past. But, as usual, the same pple who stole the most of Nigeria's oil money are often the same idiotss playing the victim card. Bunch of retard.s! 1 Like |

He obviously lacks brain. Drug abuse has been prevalent among northern youths. They have been sniffing gum, using Brown powder, sniffing animal dung etc just to get high. 2 Likes |
