I paused for a minute, trying so hard to fathom why a young boy or girl could possibly delight in inventively turning medicinal substances to ones for leisure. "Don't they feel vomitous and dread drugs like some people do?" "Has this helpful blood-enchriching liquid also been converted to a means of leaving consciousness behind?" Few days ago, I came across a post on social media, alarming parents of the fresh trend wherein blood tonic is consumed by youngsters in large quantities for quickly reaching their peak, unfortunately in "highness." I marvel at that counterproductive ingenuity to this day. At one point or another, you may have been as perplexed as I was, wondering what is going on.


Among many vices assaulting a good number of youths today, it seems drug abuse has positioned its chair, confidently sitting down with crossed legs unready to depart soon. The relentless pursuit of an unusual but unhealthy ecstatic mental state by tomorrow's leaders makes it feel at home. One of the high-ranking justifications for involvement in drug abuse is that the doors of creativity are unlocked through its keys. Musicians, academics, writers, dancers, artistes, etcetera, get cited. Creativity shares no necessary link with drug abuse! The possibility of upsetting the brain and having body organs insidiously damaged remain high after or without achieving your goal.


Well, the lives of Cobhams Asuquo, Wole Soyinka, Mark Zuckerberg, Chimamanda Adichie, Kaffy, and Michel Angelo shed light on creativity as a product of research, deep reflections, risk-taking, consistent practice, and an undying desire to stand out. Neither gulping codeine nor blood tonic is needed to do these. Take a cue and enjoy the fruits of creativity in that area. Such enlightenment prepares you or your child/ward to dismiss those seemingly strong arguments for drugs overdose or taking a sip of those concoctions with a wave of the hand. Although drug abuse festers, doing nothing is as deadly.

It is just frightening. The blood tonic episode is the climax. That's why we must start disinclining those entangled and yet to be to drug abuse through enlightenment. Misunderstanding often fuels engagement.

My brother, yes. I'm as shocked as you.

Drug addiction. Crime. Anarchy. E.t.c these are all SYMPTOMS OF A BIGGER PROBLEM! Most Nigerians are on survival mode. Any bad/failing economy will birth social vices!

Let me book this space here.

From now till tomorrow I will say this is a Northern Nigerian problem and not a national one. I don’t see what people enjoy from taking unnatural substances for a high. This reminds me of a man I once knew who ingested horse tranquilizers for a buzz and slept for three straight days.

Smoke your weed, drink from your green and brown bottles, drink those clear strong drinks but the most healthy (and boring) alternative is keeping off everything as a whole.

I still find it hard to imagine why people violate their system with harmful substances. Na so dem say marijuana is good for the body. One guy weh go smoke am, him memory don delete now, he does not even recognize his friends again. And some people na long throat dey cause their own.

How can one find succour in what will eventually DESTROY him?

Many of these boys when dey smoke cocaine are also using it as a means to tie girls down to themselves while destroying the girls life in the process.

Normally if you date fine girl and you nor get money, she is likely to leave you if your situation nor change. But you can turn her to your slave if you teach her how to take cocaine.

Don't show her where they sell it just be her supplier. You done tie her be that. A lot of lives has been destroyed and still destroying as i write this.

Blood tonic... How?

Dem dey fry am or what

It is a sorry situation.

Unfortunately, your yeyebrities continue to valorise the poison and beautify it for the innocent and naive teenagers.

They keep finding new sources of highness.. Blood tonic again?? Shey they'll ban it like Tramadol now ni or what.

Why do people crave to get high? An honest question. Apart from the "forgetting one's problems" blabla, what else is in for them?

The only people who can help in correcting this menace are the one promoting it the most.

#NigerianArtistes in music industry.

Ad every young dude wanna become Olamide or Wizkid, they believe getting high on drug is one of the protocols

Those in Aba will tell u more about LACA-TOMTOM... My fellow youths have gone overboard...

These developments are by-products of the nature of society we have today. Most kids are now raised in homes houses where father and mother are guests... leave early in the morning and return late at night! Parents are now mere financiers of the kids while the kids raise themselves with the internet, friends and school. Lack of proper bonding often leaves a void that is easily filled relieved by the use of drugs. You can imagine the kind of kids that'll be raised in the future

You cannot treat a disease by window dressing the symptoms.. just like you can't eradicate corruption without providing the people a proper living wage.

What's tha business?
