sit him down and speak with him. if there are no changes since he's fast becoming an addict,then you will have to let his family know

Women can have sense too oo

I appreciate all the input and the help. We will be taking solutions based on sincere advice given here. Thanks.

It’s a bad feeling to have a loved one be a class A substance user. It’s a good thing you want to help.

As earlier mentioned, he’ll need rehabilitation of at least 3 months and it’s not cheap. You can try Yaba which I think is about 150k a month. Other private ones are from 250-500k per month. Unfortunately, patients still relapse after first or even second treatment.

Some go willingly others are kidnapped. Whichever is best you can tell. But can’t say which works best.

I was in rehab through 2019 and I learnt how addictive crack/meth are from other patients as I was in for other substance.

He’ll need all the love and care your family can provide cos it’s no easy task for him and even the family.

I wish you all the best.

Is this your cousin?

Don’t let one woman over hype this issue for you. Might be a weed bung. No biggy in smoking weed, he should just do it responsibly and not indoor.

Aswear. That’s how ladies behave. She will exaggerate on the stuff until you get very determined to drive him away. If OP don ever dey street before , e go understand better.
That thing na bong and it may be for smoking just weed. Talk him out of doing drugs which I doubt he’s not into cox he for don change ham for u before if he’s into it.

If he claims he does just weed, tell him to do his thing in the toilets only. And let your neighbor mind her business. She / her kids have no business at the back of your flat toilet.

.. And the most important thing is help him get back on his feet. Maybe try to find him a job. Check online and send him links to send his CV to. He will be somehow engaged that way and will regain hopes. Depression reduces. Usage reduces.


But if he’s not making any move on jobs / hustling to bring something to the table. And become independent again.

Then let him run from u. .. bills kill

Zuluhead:

that meth, he needs rehabilitations, talk to his family and dont let him know about the rehab or else he would abscorn. if the family wants to rehab him pm me your whatsapp number.

I know someone who needs serious rehab. How do I contact you..? Thanks

JJAbrams. Since your girlfriend worked for NDLEA she might know good rehabs for drug addicts. If she doesn't know, she could use her contacts to find one. Then, the next thing you should do is to call your cousin's parents, tell them the situation on ground and then your family has to plan how to get your cousin into rehab. It's very important that he doesn't know about these plans or he'll run away.

I've seen some people here say you let him back into your home, talk to him and try to get him a job or that you should stop giving him money and he'll stop. BIG MISTAKE! He has to treat his addiction first. This issue has gone way past the point of talking. If you talk to him, he would find more creative ways to hide his addiction. You'll eventually fall out and if you ask him to leave, the confrontation might get violent and he'll probably attempt to kill you in the process or he'll comply, leave your home temporarily only to come back one day just so he could kill you for taking his comfort zone away from him.
If you stop giving him money, he'll start to steal from you, your girlfriend or any other place just to support his addiction. If you get him a job, he'll spend all his earnings on supporting his addiction, he'll never be a responsible employee and it would get him fired and then you're back to square one.
The best option for you is to let his family know and get him some help ASAP.

Your life is danger, inform his family and discharge him from your house else you will come home one day and meet a lifeless body of your wife to be. The guy is gone

nehiz:
crystal Metz ke.....Your cousin is a crack head. That stem is used mainly for smoking crack.

Sshhhh! Just let them yammer on

Talk sense into him bro and get him a job if u can. I believe u know the best way to get his attention since u guys grew up together. And always make sure u check on him. If u can hook him up with a girlfriend beta.. he will def calm down

He needs to be treated in a proper facility asap. Happened to my brother in-law. Na clinic save am

It was better He was addicted to Weed, there's absolutely nothing wrong in getting addicted to Weed, because it's Medicinal and European Doctors prescribe Weed to their Patients to treat certain ailments,.... And ... Yes you heard me clearly, European Doctors prescribe Weed to their Patients and also use weed to treat certain ailments (I know you will doubt, that's why we have Google... Use it),



Weed can never make you loose focus in Life for the people that know the way forward,


Oga Op,.... I think you are a Hypocrite, for condemning your cousin for taking Weed, .... Swear You've never taken Weed??

Drug addiction is a very bad thing, mere looking at an addict no one needs to tell you even

A guy in my street collected money from his dad last week for jamb registration only to spend it on drugs... Damn his parents are just very frustrated right now and don't know what to do again

Chief firstly try and sit him down talk to him and let him know what he is doing is bad to his health not the fact that you hate him or nor the fact that he do stay with you but for the good propose of him maybe a week later try and take him to any yabaleft close to you like you're going to see someone in there and when you get there let him know what the causing of those at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital and they cause it with their hands after that bro try and look for a job for him maybe if he can be working those stuff will be stop sometimes he might be frustrated over the issue of not working. I believe with all that he have to change and if he didn't maybe you have to GI for spiritual healing for him
I have once been in his shoe once and I left it just because isn't helping my life

Pls I am looking for work in abk and its environs and I don't care if I could get it in lagos too all I want is that I want to put food on the table for my family I want to be a responsible father to my son kindly pls help a brother and I believe I won't make you regret if you do help me

Cant believe OP snitched on his cousin , you nor be guy man. Bout time we stop the nonsense narrative. I drink and smoke and i have a good job that i wake up and goto. U should just say u dont want him staying with you any more. The weed is just an excuse.

@JJAbrams That’s not a Meth pipe but for CK (crack cocaine). Please and please I take God beg you try and speak some sense to him if possible Help get him a job Please!. I have been there and out bro so I know what am saying because I have seen where CK sink 300k in a Day!!! Here is a summery: CK is very Addictive the funniest part is when you are Burning it you won’t feel the Cruz but the last Burning would give you Cloud feelings. then the thoughts of where to get money to buy would set in, if you don’t handle that on time the itching would start. the above attached images is a Pinch of CK worth N5000 and the above is just 3-4 Pipe Burning, All the Best!

JJAbrams:
Hello Nairalanders. I am a regular here as a reader but not much as a writer. However some issues just came up and I will appreciate your advise on how to go by this towards a solution.

I am a single guy. 28 years old of age, should have married last year but relationship ended. I stay in my 3-Bedroom apartment alone. I don't have much friends and I don't enjoy the idea of people staying with me. But I broke this rule for a close cousin who is like a brother to me. For a year now he has been staying with me.

This guy is nice, no negative vices like stealing or womanizing. However I noticed he takes quite some small bottle local drinks like Orijin and some unbranded ones. I dont believe in advising a grown man so I just tell him to take it easy sometimes and joke about it. By the way, he is 24 years old. 6 months after he began staying with me, he lost his job. I thought he would go back home and be staying but he kept staying with me. So he would be at home 24/7 eat my food and not even contribute and this began getting irritating to me. But I kept cool. A month after that, one of my neighbors called me and told me, she doesn't want to report to the landlord but the weed smoking has to stop. I was surprised but she said she knows it is not me neither is she accusing but I should do something about it she has kids shes raising. Then I confronted my cousin, he denied it and when I pushed, he began getting angry and aggressive. I then took calm, I had passed my message, so even if he does it he doesn't smoke in the house ever again. Lately, I have been observing in this guy's character that he has not been serious on getting a job. His dressing is becoming haggard and he borrows from me but never pays back.

Recently I got to meet this nice chic who comes and stays the weekend. So last Saturday morning, as I went to the gym she decided to do an indoor environmental of my house. When I got back the house was squeaky clean, she cleaned all the rooms. All but some paper wraps and a transparent pack of weed on the table. She accused me of being the user when I told her it only had to be my cousin who wasnt around that day. I now went into the room I let to this guy, scanned through places he could hide more wraps so I can use as evidence so it stops it until I saw a transparent pipe with a burnt end. As in those pipes used for titration in secondary school chemistry. . I was like do they use this for weed too, then the babe immediately shouted "chai, this one na serious case oo". Na for cocaine o. She then corrected herself that its for crystal meth. She worked with NDLEA during her youth service and was enlightened on this. So that is how she sat me down and told me how addictive this stuff is.

After she enlightened me, I further investigated on this and even the side-effects now began giving a perfect explanation to the irresponsible lifestyle and the least concern for his appearance. I heard it is a critical issue and taking this substance regularly can permanently affect his brains. He should be coming back from Abraka in a week's time. This guy is family to me. We spent some childhood together and I am not ready to see him a waste. I'll love to hear what is the best approach on this putting in mind that CRYSTAL METH ABUSE IS AN ERMERGENCY. In the meanwhile I have come to terms with the reality that the money I borrowed this guy for a small business in the past is gone. Options on hand are taking this issue to the family or trying to enforce he stops by speaking with him. I just dont know. Now is about making sure his life does not go to the dogs. Thank you.

You'd have to sit him down, talk to him like an adult that he is, if you can, make him admit if truly he's into meth cos he might be using his pipe just for weed. If he is, then you'd have to make him see a NEEED TO STOP, how it has impacted his life negatively, this is important cos it's an escape for him from the challenges he is facing. If he can be resolved to stop it gets easier from there. If he is deep in it, you can't possibly handle it yourself! He'll need help.

If he was addicted to mild opiums like tramadol now,he could easily quit that,but crystal meth is even more dangerous than cocaine,it is highly addictive and he needs rehab,cos withdrawal effects could lead to his death if he decides to do it alone.

The OP is worried about the crack, meth his cousin inhale and not the weed smoking. As you can see the crack stem picture he use to back it up above.

Hope you read the writeup before commenting or you are the gangs of those that read only thread tittle and start commenting crap?

Zuluhead:
he would need determination to stop cocaine but crystal meth, he definately needs rehabilitation. does he rarely sleeps or sleeps deep?
those are class A hard drugs, he needs rehabilitations and if he refuses you get some bouncers or force men to take him there against his will.
three to six months would be okay for him.

No amount of determination can make him stop cocaine without rehab,this are serious stuffs.

joepepsy:
Hope you read the post.

You dey mind those lazy yoots that barely read 100 words of article and began commenting out of point on a thread.
