Go to an addiction treatment centre and seek step-wise advice. Drug addicts can become violent and irrational

If it were just weed I wouldn't be saying this, but crystal meth is just another thing. You'd better go and meet a trained addiction counsellor

And since you gym, why not take him with you some days? It seems that he is just directionless upon the loss of his job and needs a new focus or interest

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.

If he were normal, he would have asked for OPs permission before starting to smoke weed indoors in the first place, since he's in somebody else's house.

The babe is not hyping anything, that guy is gone already

@JJAbrams
Best advice here
If you don't want to see him around just send him out.
But bringing this issue here means that you are actually concerned and want to help him.
Bro the best advice, tell him to stick to the weed.
Telling him not smoke anything is Politically correct but not feasible.
Since you are not into Psychoactive activities you would probably not understand.

There is nothing wrong with weed if it helps him cope .
He was able to get a Job before and I feel he just need to get busy once more.

Idle brain is setting in. For now stick to the weed

Simple Op, extract him from your life immediately for your peace of mind.
I have sent two grandnephews packing from my home rapidly for deviant behavior after agreeing to take them in and help get their lives on course, and cut off a first cousin and anoda nephew(my blood sister's son for b.s.
Some family will drag you down in the mud with them if you allow it.

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.

Tales by moonlight, bros!

We know say e no happen!!!

Bro na Methamphetamine your cousin day blow so o
street names are Ice,Level,white,block and so on, won't lie I used blow too, I had a perfectly constructed bunker for it. But now I just do weed.
Its addictive but you can help him stop if he's not heavily into it yet, but I doubt he's an addict yet if not you for don find out through him Rapid weight lost and his look
do not report him to his parent YET just talk to him first.
@Op you said he sleeps deeply.
Bro if your cousin day take ice he no go fit sleep oo.
In fact he will hardly sleep .

I even started wondering when meth entered niaja grin, the dealers won't make much gain cos in our currency its damn expensive, like around 5k for one smoke, I believe he's using the pipe for weed rather (since neighbors complained of weed smell) or crack cocaine which can be easily manufactured and resold cos its addictive, but crack is not common here too, it's just trash weed that everyone is smoking

Reporting an adult to his parents is a really bitchy and snitchy approach. Him fit vex break the guy head sef.. It's best they both have a private discussion, or he ask him to leave his house gently after advising him.

Thanks. I think I may be able to relate to the depression after he lost his job




He sleeps deep. I think its meth, doubt is he an afford coke. The pipe attached is similar to what I saw.
it's not meth bro its weed cos meth is not in Nigeria and if it only rich people can afford it, meth keeps you awake for days, you need to Google to guide you instead of ranting on this forum, its weed he's using that pipe to smoke, you can see the tar clearly, weed is harmless so might be using it to get over depression

Okay madam. I am not fighting with you. Why should my opinion bother you. But I know this life nobody holy pass. I don’t smoke weed but I have friends that do. If you want to send him away do that on a normal ground and not because your girl discover that shit. I know women Dey like snooping around and just catch him red handed and talk to him before thinking of decision to send him away . Believe me 80% of Nigerians smoke weed. Even the top politicians but most people know how to hide it. Even cigarettes is legal. Weed is legal in many advance county. He should just take it easy and look at the situation like a man. Forget that your babe wey dey over hype the situation. Even Nigeria forces,military Dey smoke weed. As long as no be ritual, kidnapping, yahoo or other shit. For this try and talk to him he is your family and you know what is going on with him. Men Dey over reason when no get money. Find work for am and tell am to do am, even if no be big money and if he doesn’t leave that life style den you can chase him away. Believe me family Dey important and you alone can’t live in 3 bedroom boredom go kill you, treat family like family every time if na your son or brother you no fit pursue am for your house. If you get that nigga a job believe me those things will reduce him go Dey do am before them pursue am for work. That shit na bong for weed all you can tell him is to smoke outside the house. Believe me if you send that guy parking out of your house he won’t forgive you forever, na your family and that girl can leave you anytime and for him mind e go Dey think say na because of that girl. Try and do your best and talk to him 2 or 3 times then after that do whatever you want. Believe me man. But you are a man and you can do whatever you want. No body know you here but that nigga is your blood and you grow up together. Try your best for him but at the same time don’t displease yourself to please him. But family will remain forever you can’t change or remove them out of your life.

Everyone is just being Judgemental.At 24 He's only doing what boys that age normally do, He's smoking joint,like nearly every other lad his age be it rich or broke.Any Biggie?!The weed can go with some Charlie or Pot common with most Igbo smokers.I think,If u have a problem with him smoking just talk to Him Man to Man.He's still under your roof don't bring that ur gf said it's Crystal Meth Crap coz that's the bone of contention here.Only Junkies do those drugs and He's not so rich to maintain that kind of Wild Life.

I'm not fighting you either but understand this: is it the woman's fault the guy is keeping crack pipe in his room

You need to separate the fact that it's the woman who told him the name of the stuff from the fact that it was already in his room in the first place.

You can't disregard a piece of information just because a woman revealed it; that doesn't make sense.

And you also need to separate the issue of smoking weed from that of smoking weed in somebody's house without their consent. All this stuff you wrote here is fine as long as you are in your house or in the house of somebody who flows with that lifestyle.

Somebody can't accommodate you at your low point and you pay the person back by burning herb without even informing them, as in he had to find out from his neighbour, how embarrassing.

The cousin doesn't have a respect at all. If he can do that one, what else can he do

Aside from that, it's up to him if he chooses to throw his cousin out; like I said I think he can take him to an addiction centre and be spending time trying to bring him back to normal, if that doesn't work he will have to take it further.
