Presently,The media is agog with the spate of drug abuse in the south east. South east youths now abusing Methamphetamine Hydrochloride which is a very addictive stimulant drug so prevalent in the South East according to most reports.
Drug abuse, including drug addiction and trafficking, has a universal ramification that transverses socioeconomic, religious, cultural and ethnic boundaries (Oyakhilome, 1990). The Nigerian Government and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), through policies, have tried to stem its tide in the country but despite these efforts, there has been a consistent rise in the number of cases especially among adolescents (10-25 years of age) (NDLEA, 2012).
Now the major question being asked is why this drug is currently abused among the youths of the South East and so popular in the region. Most quarters are insinuating that the cause of this drug abuse could have arisen from the unrest and violence carried out currently in the region.
Youths of the east are now so restless and most out jobs due to the ceaseless activities of the proscribed group in the region. This group called IPOB is believed to have contributed majorly to this drug abuse by always shutting down means of livelihood of the people of the region in the name of sit at homes. Businesses in the region are shutting down on the daily,people are rendered jobless,Youths of the region don’t seem interested anymore in helping their lives either by going to school or finding meaningful things to do...they’ve now resorted to drug abuse to relieve stress, to ward off frustration and feel happy.

Youths say no to drug abuse...Nigeria must prevail.

Arewa youths resort to banditry, terrorism, kidnapping and raping because of what?

At least South East are flogging a few people seen using or selling drugs and that's how it made news. How about your people that have permanently accepted drug abuse as a way of life?

In the North, people smoke super glue, fuel, vehicle tyre patcher, gutter water, soak away water, monkey tail, lizard shit, dry grass, etc etc. And you get mind to do this una useless Taqiya propaganda this early morning?

Which southeast youth wouldn’t see this filth all over the East and not get frustrated? The effect of bad governance and Ipob criminal activities in the east now resulting to drug abuse

I can still show you this same filth and dirt in other regions.

@OP you can't be far from the truth.. I've been reading their drug-induced comments on here lately and I begin to wonder what the future holds for South East.

Apparently, Kanu is not the only nut case in that region, dem boku.. FG should look into the matter and set up rehabilitation centres across SE before it gets too late. NDLEA should step up actions in the SE also. Thanks.

Everyone should help himself in Nigeria. We have zero government.

NIGERIANS, USE THESE TIPS TO STAY SAFE FROM GETTING KIDNAPPED OR KILLED

An African adage has it that, "a wise person learns from what happens to others but a fool waits until trouble engulfs his head". Another one says that "when the corpse of another person's child is being carried, it looks like a bundle of firewood".

Yesterday, I was somewhere when a sound like gunshot went off and people began to run this way and that. It turned out that it was a police van having exhaust issues.

We have had too many kidnap and murder incidents all over Nigeria in recent years. So, it will be foolish for anyone not to get prepared against such an incident.

Those who are bound to say, "not my portion" should know that no one who was ever kidnapped or killed prayed for it. So, it can still happen to anyone else even if they are not praying or prepared for it.

Therefore, let's use this opportunity to share any tips we have that can help Nigerians to stay safe in any situation where Government security may fail.

I START: Below are the tips I have for everyone to stay safe. I will add more as I remember them. Now, also share the ones you know:

1. Don't post your residential address online.

2. Don't share details about your children or the members of your household online.

3. Don't go to an unfamiliar location alone. If you have a job that takes you into the hinterlands, find a different job. If you can't find another job yet, here is a thread that can help you to earn from social media without having to go out often https://www.nairaland.com/6852564/mf-bigroup-how-make-up

4. Whenever you drive, watch your back through the side mirror and if you ever notice anything that looks like someone is following you, pull up at a busy place and let the vehicle pass. Then, follow it up and watch the driver's further behavior and act accordingly.

5. Have the number of a Police team or the Police station in your area. Just ask for it with a good manner of approach, giving your reason. Use the number whenever the occasion demands it - even if you only suspected something sinister.

6. If you ever see any vehicle packed in your neighborhood without any sign that the vehicle broke down, call the attention of other people in your neighborhood to it. Or, you call a Police team. No matter what, the Police can still help.

7. Emphatically instruct the members of your household to always raise an alarm whenever anyone orders them to come to them. Tell them why they need to do this with every courage they can muster.

8. Before you attend any job interview, make sure that you have done a background check on the company.

9. If you survive by doing casual or domestic work in unspecified locations, always tell a close family member where you are working each day.

10. Avoid expressing desperation online. Some evil people can capitalize on it to lure you.

11. If you ever hear any gunshot when you are outdoors, don't panic. Instead, calm down and know the exact direction it's coming from before you try a SMART escape.

You can share yours.
