Isale Oja in Agege represent government neglect of our environment and community . That enviroment lacks adequate planing , no school nor any infrastructure like road making it a feasting ground for area boys . That's one of the oldest community in Agege yet it lact basic ammeniities that makes life meaningful .

The funniest part of it was that most of those youths are formal landlord children.

I was born and brought up in Isale Oja thank God we relocated when i was still small in 1989, we have family house in Onigbaojule.

As am talking now i do fear of passing through our street because of those lazy youths. Not only drugs, forcefully collecting your belonging in day break if any one interfere they will come back to the person.

There was a day i was coming from travelling passing through Ojurin around 8pm thinking i be omo adugbo, i have prepared thier money in my pocket on getting there one boy toched me saying Alfa ponwale i told him i be omo adugbo he kept disturbing me then i gave him #100 and he said this is not my money i was like ladugbomi, he told me 'Ogbeni calm and look your back' when i looked my back t he story change o, not knowing they are many and started negotiation on top of my belonging, i told him only #1100 with me, truely that was the only cash with me، and said if i search your bag and you have more than that i will collect all your two phones, and searched the back and took all the money and gave me #200 for transport when told him am still going to Sango.

Addictions are simple to stop!!!!

Just know you were not born with it, drinking ginger, cloves, turmeric and honey mixture for a week is the solution.

It clears the toxins in yours system.

But if the government decides to demolish the entire place and rebuild it to a modern environment you all will cry that government is insensitive.

There's no place in the world where you see ghetto like that drugs use won't be in alarming level. Drugs and poverty goes hand in hand.

Agege can lay claim to where serious drug abuse is been done according to them. But almost every part of Lagos is like that.
I was born and grew up in Ojo local govt of Lagos. I think Agege's drugs taking is child's play compare to inside Alaba Rago and environs which includes Okoko, Ajangbadi, Ijanikin and co.
Then when I started doing Uber driving. I once took a rider from Lekki to Mushin by 2am around 2022. Come see boys and girls from 13 yrs upward smoking and taking different kind of drugs late that early morning. Everywhere was busy like it was day time.
That was when I shook my head and said most Nigeria youths are gone

Colos is very very very bad.

I had to leave Africa to escape the addiction.
GenZ and youths, this will destroy you.
when we are growing up in the early 90s the hardest substance you can easily get is marijuana and you hide to smoke it.but now seeing the names of things avaliable is very scary

More harder substances will still be introduced. As the world evolves, so does evil. But whoever invented Colo na bastard devil straight from the abyss of hell.

One thing you must have at the back of your mind, most vendors don't smoke the drugs they sell. Ask yourself Why?

Lolz! Shey you see say you never start to dey mention sef. And all you have mentioned so far is still in Lagos and notorious for drugs taking in their own right.
Like you said, you never mentioned island talkless of Lekki and Ajah axis. As a former Uber driver, I saw things during my working times. And I can boldly say 60% or more than sef of our youths are gone with drugs taking.

Lolz! All this place you mentioned are very notorious for it. This is typical AJ City and Orile combined. Let's I forget, you know Maza Maza bus stop after Mile 2. At the median of the road, different types of drugs are sold there openly with every law enforcement agencies knowing about it. From there to Kirikiri, to Agboju/Amuwo, Satellite town and Festac. Abeg I don tire to name jor, Lagos drugs used is almost everywhere. And no area should be claiming don in it. We never even go Surulere side sef

But Burna, Wiz, Davido, Shalli, Olamide etc are all on drugs. The important thing is to have a good business doing. So that you can lodge at a nice hotel in Lekki and smoke as you like.
