Why would anyone want to push drug for God sake. Why. You cant be that desperate for money my people.

Society reflects our gov't. When a gov't does not care about its people, the people will look to vices to escape this entrapment.

So. . . . that makes it okay to deal drugs?

Not saying that is ok, but if you deal with poverty, people would not have to look to drugs to survive. Just look at African Americans who for years, were ostracized and kept in ghettos and they turned to drugs. Poverty is the bane of Nigeria.

Who if I may ask? A current NLer or a past one?

A current one. Quite troublesome, you wouldnt miss him

If you think you are so poor or there is no job, try selling pure water, recharge charge, bread, akara, agbado even sobo or anything. It would be better than dying in China.
One thing I know is that they are not coming out alive.
I don't think I have an iota of pity for them.

Despite all the news that NDLEA is working, some mugus will still go and try their luck.

i have no pity for drug carriers/dealers

the only way that people can stop the drug is to make it as a law any body that they see any drug with him/her should be killed the rate of drug we reduce

^ And what if GOD says. . .anybody dat sin will DIE instanter, how does dat sound?

*mind u, im not in surport of it.*

lol very funny, Guys we should thank God the the major problems we have with these drugs are Transpoters, what IF we have a major problem with users eh?the news of drug trafficking is not a new one,Drug is a worldwide problem, its almost nothing as per the rate of transporting it in Nigeria,So I dont know why the Hype,
PS I dont support it though, I wish we aint listed as courer countries.

Are you one of the drug dealers?

Those arrested are those who wanted to play smart by not settling officials.We know this number is a far cry from the exact number that freight drugs through Murtala mohammed Airport.

bk/babe97:

This explains the shallow mindedness of some NLders. We are discussing an issue, a world wide crime that has accessed every tribe on the earth surface, you are here saying 'they must be Ibo' Isn't this nonesense?

Housa, Ibo, Yoruba, Tiv, Itsekiri, etc are all involved in drug trafficing and all other crimes. Even the almighty kidnapping and armed robbery.
Rather than tackle the topic, you are attacking tribes. Isn't that silly?
May b you'r such a kid, then don't respond to issues that call for adult attention!

NONESENSE
HOW MUCH MONEY ARE THEY TRAFFIKING ABROAD FROM
THE NATIONL ASSEMBLY
GOVERNOR FORUM
CHAIRMEN FORUMS
MINISTERS FORUM
NFA

THEY WILL ARREST MORE IN A DAY

maybe they should visit obosi in anambra,and will get more of that!

wake up black race, wake up nigerian's, isn't high time we abolish entnocentrism and tribalism, rather engaging our thought on the issues in drugs traffickers arrested being reported in this thread.                                                 Basically, drugs have destroys so many life on   a regular basis. More strick measure needs to be taken to take this drugs bastard off the business.

@frankcj
I dont know if I understand you a wee bit,i believe these guys arrested are people trafficking drugs out of Nigeria and knowing Customs in Nigeria too well, I believe these are guys who refused to SETTLE and got too smart hence they arrested them or Burst them.Now regarding Drugs distroying lives,I dont believe this is applicable to Nigeria as the average Nigerian cant afford to buy them hard drugs.
