Drug abuse is a huge problem in Nigeria . people find it
difficult to believe because they are living under the illusion of what NDLEA
said a few years ago that Nigeria is a transit nation. They have only just said
this year (2017) that Nigeria is a user nation and it is overwhelming .
Take a look at all the seizures they make. In the last one
year, they made a seizure of about 650kg of hard drugs, and that is about the
combined weight of 7 men weighing 85kg or even more. Marijuana is like pure
water, you can get 5 wraps for as low as 50naira because it is very cheap and
it is everywhere.
Is there the
possibility that it has entered the church?
Whether they are spirit-filled or not, they use drugs in
church and that is the true. The church should know it because the church has
abdicate her responsibility, her first love, and is now pursuing the things of
the world. The Bible say “While men slept the enemy came and sowed tares”. You
will be amazed at the things these young people tell us, even teens in the
church.
We used to think this
problem is prevalent amongst non-christian youth?
Youth are youth, be they Christian or muslims. Drug has no
coloration, it has nothing to do with ethnicity or denomination, and it cuts
across culture. Today people have this illusion that drugs are used by the bad
boys use at the motor parks, but I tell you that educated young boys, undergraduates, secondary school boy use real
drugs.
If you look at the
people who are called miscreants, “area boy”, some of them are graduates even
from MIT, Harvard, London school of Economics, some are lawyers, accountants,
doctors. Drugs is drugs and all manners of use it, hence we need to remove
them.
