My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by Chikispilot(op): 10:37am On Oct 09
Goodmorning Good people I will keep this brief


I have a brother he's the eldest and about 28 years old, he's a heavy drug user, he takes everything, all types of weed including Kolos, Ice, and Crystal Meth, we've tried everything possible to stop him but I don't think he can turn back at this point he's heading to his grave

However the actual reason am making this post is not I love him anymore or wants to change him rather it's for out own safety, my parents lives in the village I usually visit them, I am the third child and second son, I am 22 years old.

This boy don't sleep anymore after taking those drugs he will talk till morning everyday, he will threaten my parents and everyone including his children and wife ( he impregnated one girl Like that)

Last week he almost killed his wife if not that my parents were around he was hitting her with stick and my parents intervened

Fast-forward to this week he fought me, I didn't even do anything to him I just came back and he rushed me with Cutlass by the grace of God I overpowered him and gave him a nice beating

Yesterday night I was sleeping and I started hearing a shout I woke up and came outside only to find him fighting my parents this boy was using all kind of weapon on my mum I got very upset and descended on him with wood, I beat him till he got weak, now he's threatening to kill everybody in the house

Like I said I live in the city and will be going back soon, I can't live home Like that cos this boy will definitely do something stupid, I don't even want to go far back on to start counting what we've done and the countless money spent on that slowpoke


I want him arrested and taking out of out family house I don't want to lose my parents at the age of 22, we can't afford a Rehabilitation center now, we're poor, I just want to get him arrested to make sure everyone is safe

I don't really know how the constitution works but can police hold him for us? If yes for how long ? Please 🥺 my parents already have High BP because of this god forsaken boy I need serious advice
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by Chikispilot(op): 10:40am On Oct 09
Please manage my English, I need the advise urgently, this guy has gone completely insane

I don't know how possible it is to jail him, he's threatening everyone and fighting us per day I don't know if that's enough to jail him please my people help me

I can only pray for you and other family having this problem.

The drug addicts problem is now everywhere in Nigeria now.

There is a Muslim group/sect, SHAMSUDEEN and they specialize in treating people suffering from drug addiction at one of their mosque around Idimu, until the government arrest and closed the place for human rights abuse.

I would have said you should charge him with attempted murder but that would be too harsh... That's the only way to have him apprehended and locked up by the law... Just know that when he eventually gets out of jail; he will come for everyone!!!

A more humane advise is to try get the money needed to send him to a psycho hospital.

Sir we've spent so much money in the past few years
I can't even count how many times he have tried killing people, my family has been disgraced to the last because of him, from one problem to the other, I can't count how many times the village youth came to our house because of him as am talking to you now we're discussing on how to raise 50-80k so that we can get him arrested
We're not safe anymore and also am sorry to say this we don't love him again we just want him out reason I was asking if he can be be detained for a long period of time and if things changes we may Charge him to court and probably jail him or we take him to rehab

How through is this? Because I find it hard to believe some stories here these days.. nah just to catch cruise.


If it's actually true, you people should surrender him to psychiatric people or white garment church like cherubim(sele) make them chain am there and do the needful.. the madness from the drugs go disembark in no distant time.

Say no to drugs ahbeg. E no dey solve life 's problems or challenges.

I may not be a sadist but waking up one morning and login to the Internet to blow a lie about my family maybe one of the things I will never do, everything you said here we've done it apart from rehab of which we can't afford

The most important thing for me now is my parents, reason we want to lock him up, I will update this thread if we succeed
None of my sibling is stubborn, we're all very calm and focus with life but this one wants to kill everybody
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by floss(m): 12:46pm On Oct 09
He's on the right path of leading Nigeria one day, he just needs to let tulumbu know that he's got the requirements needed to occupy a political post in Apc Nigeria...

Nothing to be worried about here.... Una family don blow .... Allah has finally picked your family call grin grin
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by Jozilinn:
I also have a brother like this but he's my younger brother, luckily for mine he is now learning a skill which was sponsored by we the siblings. The only thing is that he's very lazy and doesn't like to listen to anyone. I was even surprised to hear he was now taking drugs because he condemned those taking it so much that year.

I miss my bro it's been years I last saw him. I think your parents should always lock their doors and keep sharp objects away from him the wife can come and go instead of staying.

Try asking him what he wants rather than trying to think so much bad about him I believe there still something useful in him.

I know it's hard for you especially since he's supposed to be the one leading but now he can't because of the drugs he's taking.

Just try to avoid him and if you have the chance to be around him offer him things he might like he will always want you around him and you can use that to your advantage.

Wish you the best dear.

OP imagine your brother was a stranger who did all that you described, would you still have him living with your parents or anyone you love? 🤔🤔

The woman you call his wife... is she a slowpoke that she hasn't fled for her life, at least? Ask her if she even values her life at all? How can a human being reduce herself to living and breeding with a man whose life instead revolves around getting his next fix and would go as far as to kill to get it? 😐😐

Find a way to get those children out of there else you aee just setting them up to becoming like their father or their mother. Children, many a times, tend to follow the example of their parents. 🤔

Look, he takes drugs and assaults you all regularly with his violence, yet you all keep rewarding him with a roof, food and even a woman to cater to his desires. When you all are sick and tired of enabling his behavior, you would send him to a treatment facility, labor camp or prison where people who behave as he does belong instead. 🤔🤔

Do you have any NDLEA office around you where your parents live or where you live in the city? Try bundle and take him there, explain all your predicament to them. In the NDLEA they have several departments that handles different levels of drug abuse. And they wouldn't charge you. They will detain him and manage him while you guys will be bringing food to him.
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by hakeemhakeem(m): 3:44pm On Oct 09
I will have suggest they send him to prison for some months but he cangetthestuffin thereaswell,because rehabilitation would still cost you some money.
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by motymop: 3:53pm On Oct 09
cut out his friends and any source he can get drugs

take him to a rehabilitation center where he will be taken care off for 6 months - 1 year

Sir we live in Aba Abia state, if what you said here is true I will thank you forever, I will make more research especially in the money part, we can afford to get him arrested but if NDLEA can offer free Rehab, we will sure supply him food there

Unpopular advice

Get him high on his favourite. When he sleeps off. Tie him up for weeks with just food once in a day.

His system will adjust after weeks.

You better take that man away from your parents and his children as soon as you all can. You already have more than 3 literal attempts made by him on your lives. You can send him to prison, where he can choose to either cool off or armor up on more drugs(his choice).🥱🥱
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by greatiyk4u(m): 7:00pm On Oct 09
Listen carefully, what the guy need now is where he will be kept out of reach of drugs for a period of three months and he will detox naturally, we had a similar case with a cousin but he was moved to an uncle's mansion in Jos and kept out of reach of drugs, cigarettes and alcoholic and within 30 days he was normal because he started eating well after two weeks and his meal was made special, full of veggies, protein especially eggs, plenty line, in his Lipton, drinking water etc

The only issue is that you said una no too get, so to get that kind compound with enough security and apartment spaces needs connection,

Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by Naustine(m): 7:03pm On Oct 09
Let's be honest, he's now a mad man..what you should do is to tell the girl to go with the child and also take your parents away from the house. Lock every other parts of the house and let him stay alone without food for sometime.. otherwise be ready for multiple homicide
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by RawBitterTruth(m): 7:04pm On Oct 09
Let him get locked up, no access, he would lose interest.

If you have money, get him admitted in a psychiatry hospital.
Re: My Drug Addict Brother (advice Us Please) by BioData45: 7:13pm On Oct 09
In all you do, don't abandon your own life or jeopardise yours for him. Stay away from the family house before he pkai you with the others.

And at this stage, it's looking like he's beyond redemption. I'd suggest your family meet NDLEA, I gues they have a department that handles out-of-hand case like this.
