National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) was recently put to task by the analysis of a psychiatrist who declared that out of every 10 Nigerians, seven displayed strange behaviour.
Mr. Dipo Lafenwa, a guest at this year’s UN International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking organized by the Ekiti State Command of NDLEA, gave the analysis while addressing the stakeholders in Ado-Ekiti.

He disclosed that it takes more years to rectify whatever damage done to a drug addict’s blood system than even the number of years the illicit drugs are consumed by the victim. Lafenwa revealed that illicit drugs consumption did not stop at the table of commercial motorists and motorbikers, but some prominent people in the society consumed and engaged in the circulation of the lethal substances.

The state Commander of NDLEA, Mr. Bamidele Akingbade, implored royal fathers to acquaint their subjects with the danger in the cultivation and consumption of the dangerous weed, Indian hemp. Soliciting the support of the state government in the fight against the menace, the commander disclosed that logistics required in carrying out their dangerous mission of stamping out cultivation and consumption of Indian hemp and other illicit drugs in the state were limited.

The state Commissioner for Health, Femi Thomas, told the stakeholders in attendance that a law had been promulgated by the state government that any land on which Indian hemp was found would be seized. He listed various damages done to the individual consumer of illicit drugs and the society at large to include brain damage, liver damage, social and psychological damages.

He said huge fund was expended on the rehabilitation of victims of illicit drug, besides the inglorious image it gives the country in the outside world. The psychiatrist also dropped another bombshell when he disclosed that the most productive population of the nation was neck deep in illicit drugs, taking the nation’s economy to the cliffhanger.
The NDLEA commander was, however, optimistic that the menace could be subdued if all sectors joined hands with the drug warriors in the battle against the dangerous drugs.

i dont believe all this random numbers this people make up in their minds

LOL. It's probably true

I believe it's true.

Outstrip:

LOL. It's probably true

30-45 maybe? yes

  hard sell

Am sure the 70% also includes the Psychiatrist who made this research

oisehumen:

lmao

The only reason why someone will come up with such statistic is probably because the psychiatrist himself is mentally unstable

what a useless statistic

someone tells me 105million people out of 150million are mentally challenged and im here to fold my hands and shout halleluyah  

70% ko , 99% ni

i still doubt it. It is not possible for that to happen here in Naija

just some bored organization seeking attention to keep themselves relevant, let them go and sleep jor

Outstrip:

LOL. It's probably true

.

What is probably true with this hilarious statement?
Do u even know what a whopping 70% of your population amounts to?

Some people will just sit in the comfort of their air-conditioned rooms and come out with some mischievous and malicious statements and we come here to applause them

na the same group abi na their relative cousins"statisticians" who also came-up with some random numbers on how women now smoke more than men in nigeria without providing any criterion on which the "research"  was carried-out


what criterion was used in determining this random-hard to swallow numbers?

was this Psychiatrist the only person involved in this out of blue study?

how many people did he sample out of the 150million+ people? only his patients?

i am sanely [/i]finding this numbers ridiculously-ridiculously[i] insane

yeah i believe this psychiatrist is among the 70% if not ow wuld he really know. ;d ;d ;d

what is the name of the psychiatris?
give us link to the actual survey done(if any) then we can talk
mtchewwwww

If you go through what they have to go thru in one day, you will know.
However, the numbers seems to be out of control, but most have problems.
Cos how would you explain a well dressed man going to work and climbing through the window, or explain how a man could drive on the wrong side of the road.

LOL
where does bolded happen, is he running from the taxman? or landlord?

i wonder if that could also mean that 70% of NAIRALNDERS are mentally unstable?

I wonder who are the few not affected by this epidemic

What's this talk about come to Uk and u will see some Nigerians who are this and that?
Excuse me jare
I can assure you  that those same people who u think are mentally unstable also think that u guys are bleeped up upstairs 

It is probably more than 70% if we are honest

But seriously, some many people in Naija are really unstable upstairs, though not up to 70% sha.

Imagine what i witnessed some minutes ago when i went out for lunch.
A young man of not more than 25 years bought a singlet from a hawker along the road. U won't believe what this young man did! In the full glare of the public, he removed his shirt and wore the singlet. I challenged him why he was doing that; he simply told me he was 'testing' it.

70% of Nigerians? How? Rubbish Speculations.

70% of 150 000 000  million people are mentally unbalanced as in psycho. . . Why,how,for what ? So many unanswered question. . .

people agreeing that the percentage is ok, are also on the list
if they like let them take it to 99.9% am among the .1% left.
