The festive season is already here and a lot of us have made-up plans to spend it in a social gathering, get-together or hang-out with friends, family or co-workers, e.t.c. One of the perks of those gatherings is the food and drinks always available to attendees.

In as much as you feel the gathering consists only of your friends, family or good co-workers, there’s a cause for alarm as there might exist an enemy amongst you who’s plan may be to drug your drink so as to achieve an ulterior motive…. Please, be aware that one can be drugged anywhere!

It’s no longer new to us to come across cases when someone’s drink got spiked; only to be raped, robbed or murdered afterwards… We call that “Inside Life”.

Today, I’ll be giving you tips which will serve as a guide to you whenever you find yourself in a social gathering, to prevent your drink from being spiked, and also what you can do if you suspect your drink has been spiked.

How to prevent your drink from being spiked

1. First of all, whenever you’re in a social gathering, mind the quantity of (alcohol) drinks you take-in so as to be conscious of the happenings around you and be aware of any suspicious activity.

2. While in a social gathering, make sure you finish up your drink before you move out; either to the dance floor, meet-and-greet, or the washroom, and make sure you personally order a new drink once you’re back to your seat.

3. If there’s a need to go out and you’ve not emptied your drink, only leave your drink with someone you trust…. Who do we even Trust these days?
Do not accept opened drink offers from anyone in a social gathering, be it a friend, or worse still a stranger you just met…. If you have to accept drink offers, make sure you order it yourself and watch it being served.

4. Always go out in the company of two or more of your trusted friends to increase your chances of being safe.


What To Do When You Suspect Your Drink Has Been Spiked

1. Although it is difficult to spot a spiked drink as the drugs being used are usually tasteless and odourless, once you start having a blurring vision, loss of balance, Nausea, Confusion, vomiting and unconsciousness, or even when you start feeling funny, act immediately and call for help. You’re advised to pick up your phone and call a trusted individual, preferably a family member who can arrive immediately and proffer help to you.

2. If you’re in a club or a gathering with in-house security personnel’s, approach security or bouncer and inform them that you’ve been drugged and need their protection until help arrives for you.

3. Seek medical attention in the nearest hospital available, to curtail the damage of the drug in your system.

Good girls like me don't hang out.

I wonder what the people who spike or poison drinks are truly after. What's the fun in doing that to a drunken person?

Point 3, though. How will you seek medical attention when you're already suffering from the effects of the spiking?

This days people turn up with there own wine ....you hear things like I don’t drink beer socially ......

What about 'Itagba' that can be transferred to your drink even from a distance of 2 blocks?

Africa and juju. Ogbeni, if dem knack itagba enter your drink from a distance, you go fear! What about 'Yinza'?

lolz.... simple,take your drinks everywhere you go, bathroom, toilet, everywhere,no one can be trusted even friends

Detty December, Detty December.

The last time I was in a bar I saw a guy walk into the convenience with his beer in his hand.. Baba didn't even trust the three guys he was drinking beer with ...

What does your photo mean?

op is a learner!

they can still spike the glass cup and you will use your hand to open the drink and pure it in the dangerous cup


always pick one in the set of disposable cup and still rinse it with drink, if possible have disposable cups in your car, they are cheap.

well-done Ma...nice marketing strategy

Move in a responsible circle with responsible friends..

Person wey motor hit go get chance take number?

Lastly call ur pastor to turn ur poisoned drink to nourishment

Be careful also of a barman working in cahot to spike your drink. The barman will open the drink in your presence and pour it at the same time spiking it or maybe the drink was opened already and just going through the motions.

Noted !
