When the head is rotten, what do you expect from the whole body.

Schools should start searching their students before entering the school everyday likewise parents too.

In the midst of the crisis, the teachers did everything but rush the boy to the hospital.

They even got someone to drive him home.🙄

Tinubu definitely has a lot of fault but this is never one of them. Families built communities, communities built local government while local government built the state and then the country. Discipline starts from our individual homes, so the parent of the boy should be held responsible.

I was talking to a group of teachers recently and you can tell they are not allowed to admit basic first aid. The discussion was due to us being called that my nephew who is a boarder had cold and we should come pick him from school. You know they gave us this consent form to sign that should our wards die in school, we wouldn't sue Lagos State Government.

A teacher also mentioned how she almost got sacked for administering paracetamol. The parent if the child claimed they only use herbs for their child and it became a big issue.

It is unfortunate what we have turned things to but what can we all do?

A student is foaming from the mouth and these ediots drove him home instead of hospital.
At first they were praying. Like really

What kind of stupeed locomotive teachers are these?

If you don't have time or resources to raise decent children, close your legs or use condom

Imagine what our young generation is currently doing omg 😱

But how will somebody in his right sense vote for tinubu

I pass in front of a school everyday, the security uses an electronic wand to search their bags.

I thought it was over-kill but i am having a rethink. TF!

Not only secondary school even primary school pupils are involved

Even S.S.1 student these days don Dey ON COLOS !!! Chai. This is seriously serious o !

This is no longer just a parental issue! The law enforcement guys are cashing in on the upkeep money they collect from these sellers. Colos is taking the market by storm, and the sellers are popping up left and right. The police know exactly who these sellers are, but they're raking in so much cash from them that they refuse to take any action. The biggest problem we face in this situation is the police themselves. They’re fully aware of the sellers and are doing nothing because they’re benefiting financially from them.

Here’s my advice. if you see anyone selling in your area, for the sake of our future generations, REPORT THEM to the NDLEA IMMEDIATELY! Don’t just sit back and say it’s not your business. It’s time to step up and protect our community! If these drugs aren’t available for purchase, nobody will be able to smoke or abuse them. Let’s take a stand and put an end to this!

I am 45, growing up I only know of two things adults smokes which is cigarettes and indian hemps locally called "igbo".
Not that I have taken any in my life before.
But nowadays, I am hearing colos, skunk, tramadol, e.t.c. And if they should put down any of these latest drugs down and say I should be picking and naming them one by one and collect #1m. Honestly speaking, I still don't know which is which.
While our nowadays youths knows almost all the different types of drugs in town.
.
It's pathetic howfar our youths have gone in moral decadence.

There’s a lot wrong with today’s society secondary school students are actively involved in internet fraud, and that’s how they get the funds to access these drugs

His life is gradually ending just like that

Reporting is very risky, once they found out you're the one that reported them, your life is in danger.
Omoh eh, this life make everybody carry him cross. Everybody especially an adult of above 15yrs knows what's good or bad for him.

NDLEA allows people to report anonymously

Maybe it'll be best advised to relocate from that environment than to report them cos these guys are cultists and very dangerous.. they'll somehow find out you reported them and you can imagine what will happen to you or ur family that u care for, cos most of them normally don't have anything to lose. So be careful

FG mandates drug tests for secondary school students
May 11, 2026 7:50 am

The Federal Government has introduced stringent new measures to combat drug and substance abuse in secondary schools, including mandatory drug testing for students and temporary suspension for those who repeatedly test positive after undergoing treatment and rehabilitation procedures.

Under the new policy, all newly admitted students in secondary schools will be subjected to compulsory drug integrity tests at the point of entry.

The measures are contained in the National Implementation Guidelines Against Drug and Substance Use in Schools in Nigeria for secondary schools, details of which were obtained by our correspondent.

The guideline outlines a comprehensive framework aimed at reducing the growing prevalence of substance abuse among students and creating safer learning environments across schools nationwide.

According to the document, the policy is designed to “create a conducive environment for teaching and learning in the institutions by reducing the negative effect substance abuse has on the mental health and academic performance of students/learners.”

The guideline states that “all new students/learners shall be subjected to drug tests and other measures approved by the schools/learning centres at the point of entry,” adding that the process must be carried out “in collaboration with approved federal/state health facilities and procedures.”

In addition to entry-level screening, schools are expected to conduct periodic and impromptu drug tests for both new and returning students at least once every academic session.

The document further provides that “all students/learners shall undergo periodic drug tests as recommended by appropriate authorities.”

It prohibits students from using or possessing narcotic drugs, controlled substances or other drugs of abuse without authorisation from school authorities, stating that “all students/learners are prohibited from using or being in possession of narcotic drugs, controlled drugs or substances of abuse without approval from the school authority.”

However, it notes that students requiring controlled medication for medical conditions must declare such medications through their parents or guardians during admission.

The policy establishes a three-stage testing and intervention process for students who test positive.

According to the guideline, “the aim is to identify students who may need help and to promote a safe and healthy school environment.”

Students who fail the first test will undergo counselling and initial treatment as determined by school authorities.

The document explains that “persons found to be positive to drugs shall undergo the initial intervention and treatment, which shall include counselling as might be found appropriate by the school authority.”

Those who test positive a second time will be referred to professionals for further treatment and specialised attention.

The guideline further states that “if found positive again, such a student shall be referred to a professional by the school authority to take appropriate treatment and attention that might be required.”

For students who continue to test positive after a third round of testing and intervention, the policy provides that they may be temporarily suspended from the school environment.

It states that “if found to be positive again, such a student shall be temporarily suspended from the school environment to take treatment from a professional and undergo rehabilitation that might be found appropriate by the professional.”

The policy also introduces mandatory pre-test and post-test counselling for students undergoing screening.

According to the document, “pre-test counselling is the guidance given before a person undergoes a drug integrity test. It aims to prepare the individual, clarify expectations, reduce anxiety, encourage cooperation and build trust.”

It adds that “post-test counselling happens after results are available, regardless of whether the test is positive or negative. The goal is to support the individual to accept the result and link them to the right help.”

To enforce compliance, every school is expected to establish a disciplinary committee headed by the school administrator with clearly defined responsibilities.

The document further directs that violent incidents linked to substance abuse, including fighting or inflicting injuries, “shall be reported to the law enforcement agents.”

It also warns that students who refuse to comply with prescribed treatment or rehabilitation procedures will be temporarily separated from the school environment “until he/she is found to be stable.”

The development comes amid growing concerns over increasing cases of drug and substance abuse among adolescents in Nigeria, with education and health stakeholders warning about its impact on academic performance, discipline, mental health and security within schools.

While supporters argue that the measures could help curb substance abuse among students, critics are expected to raise concerns over implementation capacity, student welfare protections and the readiness of schools and health facilities to effectively implement the policy nationwide.

Still a billion times better than the failure that

This is why I love the Secondary school I attended. They had something they called contraband day. On this day, the school authority would have all your bags searched while fully seated in the class. Sometimes, lectures would be paused at the same time for this search to be done. A lot got expelled for this. Even if na condom Dem find for your bag, gone, going, gone! hehehe

You cannot blame the teachers and hardly can you blame the government too. In these days of social media when Misinformation travels at a supersonic speed, an action or an inaction of a teacher earning an honest living may turn to something else. Then, you and I will be analysing, castigating and condemning on Nairaland. We have seen that before. Emergency doctors and lawyers will then join the fray.

But how will somebody in his right sense vote for tinubu

how will any one with his right sense vote for bitter obi, the yes daddy agulu packaged fraud with a history of failure in tiny Anambala? No be juju that

The truth is,the situation is graver and more serious than the society can imagine.

Talk to the people involved in the entire chain, like teachers, psychologists, mental health practitioners and you will know that all what is being debated is just a tip.

Fair enough, you are correct. The youth are morally decadent and into hard drugs.

But I didn't see you say anything about the adults that run the cartels and gangs that they get the drugs from.
