Drugs have destroyed this generation.

Come to Port Harcourt and see how youths abuse drugs.
Young men go around in pairs begging every Bros and Aunty they see for money to eat, if you buy them food, they'll convert it to cash instead and use it to buy drug.

A cousin of mine who was a "Biggie" is now very tiny like broom stick such that you'll think he is infected with Aids. He inhales solutions used for embalming dead bodies. He has sold almost everything his father left for him when he died just because of substance abuse.

Some people here always defend Marijuana or weed as it is popularly known but the truth is that this substance contains elements that alter your brain. It contains a very powerful substance that gives you false impression..... hallucinogens.

Stay away from drugs and live long.

He should’ve told them his name is malami a Fulani Breed then he’ll be allowed to continue his journey with police escort

When did the NDLEA start withholding names? SMH

Dangbana Kopa.

I can bet he is a rich kid. Serving in government agency in Abuja. Long and short, nothing may happen to him.

But the future is looking somehow for Nigeria, if our youth keep on abusing substances at this rate.
