Whats on the flip side use also print victims of illicit drugs and so so so abuse drugs are rubbing, major is move of their future in miss our area of cuddled. We meet was in class a 34 year old meal. Drug addicts was volunteered to bait all i started taking it. When i was in secondary school. It was introduced by my friends. Bazooka is gainfully employed. He works with a construction firm. Hello, ross dover, stoutly yell mo location. Ok next 5 minutes. Instead for you to go to dont hula by mid dragon would follies. So you just met. Call us up. The drugs that is like listening condos to its alma is or if a non coding data form exam. D. 5 silva, i thing is only once after various phone calls, bazooka drives to different locations in come to pick up supplies. Having gotten the products bazooka drives to a junkyard away from the prying eyes of the community and the look at a junkyard. A gang is converging jungle they call. Its a luxurious hold for the consumption of elicit rose. I bought a suit bazooka. Arise with the stock with blue with the quizzing, you know, i know it might not take it on monday.

We were told that the last batch of inmates were discharged 3 days ago. In session of this are well her shelter. We are very well agitated over 100 and its one inmate. From here we moved what the organization referred to as a black spots in san gary areas, co states, most of the rehabilitated drug Abuse Victims come from here. When we create a program, we call them together and you know, share ideas with them. Tell them what drugs tell them either. If it of drugs who react to their health bazooka has taken a giant step and has reached out for help. Today, bazookas, journey to freedom, i started with concerted steps, the Nigerian Society could reclaim its young generation one youth at a time. I honestly hope that bazooka successfully gets clean, but for many young people in nigeria, the picture does not really look good for us. What us and weak lawyer enforcement make it easy for drug cartels to ship tons or brocks in to west africa, on the transit to europe. And many of the drugs take their route. You see here. But a lot of these drives remain in countries like nigeria, and when Police Officers meant to check these crimes accused of aiden traffic s, like in the case of supercop, our backyard. It paints a gloomy picture, but a young people in a dress capital up which are, are not given up. We have ideas for how this problem country result in this recent st debate does share some of these ideas with it at kamani. Ah hi and welcome back to another episode of the 77 percent this week. We are back in a bull janae julia and we had to ask an age or question. Is it possible to win the war on drugs . I want to ask mr. Mohammed a j is the commandant of n d l e a. This is the National Drug or legislative body here in the country. About 14000000 people have used drugs at some point. Why do you think this number is so high compared to the rest of the worlds luca, decisive nat geo cubic mission was were over 200 and some to 1000000 people. So 14 is what the fraction then what steve, it is too high. So the local factors are, can be a deuce as to whether or why they are using these drugs. Lack of employment to society. Will it be, ah, lack of parental cheer . Will it be broken . Who . So a lot of factors can be a deuced, why a lot of use artic in his room. So let me introduce half. So who is an investigative journalist . Tell us what the biggest challenge is, what are people consuming . How are they getting access to it . Most drug abusers do it as a try for help is not that they just woke up and decided to start doing drugs, but rather theres always some sort of stemming reason why they chose to do it as a, as a sort of relief. Yeah. He mentioned unemployment, of course, its one well also need to look at the aspect of women, many women resort into taking drugs from what we have them reported because of either being married at a young age or because theyre divorced. And in Northern Nigeria being at the bottom, it is such a taboo to the point that some parents would kick their daughter out if they could cut out obviously. Where do you think youll find refuge . Yeah, its either she find someone or be friends on one or gets her boyfriend that will eventually the push her or influence her into starting drugs. Right . Yeah, i want to come to you hums because you come from a region in this country called poppy. Can you tell us a little bit about it . First of all, i think us bitten off puppy and talking about drug abuse. I think you can take anywhere from each other to go out to the streets. You see a very young dudes walk in on the streets. Teaching has like a sivitz like awesome, its normal and parental support or Social Security numbers or supports tools. I report infighting from re confir will are really influenced using agreements with drugs. Okay. Okay. And youve been quite for a while, let me bring you into the conversation. What is your experience, ah, with drug use and abuse, ah, knowing full well that at the moment you in a relationship with somebody who is kindly fighting addiction, everybody has something to do with the use of drugs either you use in, you have used, or somewhere close to use use in or someone in your family is use it here. I dont think theres a home elijah. No, doug. Okay, let me just do a quick survey of what hes saying. Any of you know, somebody who is directly or indirectly affected by drugs, please raise your hands. So its very, very wide spreads are okay. So tell me what you experience was your personal experience or let of oliver as to why you would do drugs. So murphy, i mean to had label a used is as fan killer after walking home will tell you its been a hard day, i can sleep when i get home this, he just may shislett. So needs to be awake all night. Just to walk, probably different unit trucks to the til one way or the other easy. It gets us coming back to the usual joke. Okay. Yeah. Can you tell me some of the things and ways that people are employing to get that high . It will go to extra lens like getting highs from the fuck away. And it works. Yeah. So mohammed is your job then an impossible one. Why you set up to fail . Because if people are going to literally go to the gutters to get that high and who knows whats left them there . You cant possibly enforce that. You cant control that. We will have a problem there has to be a legislation does, will also cover this kind of look and drops. Now that the, are you much, maybe wendy and dearly ups was actually enacted. Boost is were not put into consideration what, what, what do we do . We do use current one, do you, do you arrest them off . Cause more mentally temporal. You are as there. What are the end of the day . You cannot prosecute him because dad is, is not covered under our legislation. Or we have difficulty de leon phase or let me come to you as a psychologist because i think its really easy to castigate. People who use drugs and say, hey, there are a menace to society there. The problem. But we, failing to understand the deeper issues, addiction doesnt, it doesnt just, you just cant get addicted to a drug. Your body system has to tolerate the drugs. What is tolerance done leads to addiction. So psychologically, dis, people are using these drugs. They are, they are chain because they cant stop themselves from taking the drugs. Even if today theyre going to keep a trop lot of m o n d l e officers in a place. And somebody wants to get the drug and was showing you that, that, that particular neurotransmitter is going to keep on secret. And until he finds, or he, she finds her way to go and get this drug. Yeah. How accessible is rehabilitation and treatment . Because the next logical solution to a person whos suffering from addiction, they are the medical you trained rehabs where you can go and get some psycho social hope that you need therapy. But then there are also the law called haps, weve done reports on how weve seen so many cases encounter where drugs are tied up in chains like animals, all in the name of you, hello tating them. So lets come up with solutions. Now. Theres a reason why the war on drugs was started because there are far reaching consequences to the abuse of some of these substances. How so . I think its better to nip it in the bud before it begins. Then after you should be able to a child to be able to go to his parents and literally tell them what theyre going to let their hearts out completely so that they know that at the end of the day, theres someone there for me. Drugs isnt on you think thats been for me. Yeah. Okay. Im sorry. Lets hear from you because besides enforcement of laws, what else can be done then its a year is that mine says that has been created before. Are the few of the Police Officer just make the Police Officers our friend and they need to show it from the outward perspective that okay, you are our friend. Then its the builders relationship between the boots versus the appearance also need to be sensitizing. They also play a very big rule in, you know, on corbin this. Yeah. Hi george. So a holistic approach to web sensitization and education ahmed. Lets hear from you 1st hand experience having used the drugs yourselves, the now senior golf and battling with this. What do you think it will take to finally put an end to it . Or put in an end to jokes. You need to look at the site to corruption 1st, before youre, youre put in this responsibility of fighting this war. I do really fighting the war, or are they just pretending to fight the war . Good question. Because you, you, you confiscate a whole lot of drugs. We do seed on tv and he is just with some bags of we then to put it on fire. Ready as will how close to the rest of the drug sequences. Lets wind up with the mr mohammed here because i started with you also curious to know what more you can have in order to be further empowered to do your job, governor new to do better to, to fund the agency provides us with all the tools that we meet on so that you will see all that sort of able to get in touch with their best foot forward. You yeah, well i thank you for the comments and i think thats a great place to wrap up this debate. Now at the beginning, i asked a critical question, is it possible to wage a war from drugs . I dont know the answer to that, but what i do know is that from the discussion here, it is clear that the focus should rather not be on drugs, but on human beings. Thank you for watching. Ah, thank you. Also, it is and your panel for that interesting conversation. If want to know more about the ideas that these young people have had on to our youtube channel, where you can watch a longer version of this to beat.
