Drug Barons Are Not As Bad As Human Traffickers, Says Abike Dabiri by Morbeta11(m): 7:01am On Jun 09

Drug barons are not as bad as human traffickers, says Tinubu’s appointee Abike Dabiri

Mrs Dabiri-Erewa said that traffickers needed to be named and shamed.

Chairperson, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has said human trafffickers are worse than drug barons.

In a post on X on Saturday, Mrs Dabiri-Erewa condemned human traffickers, advocating for them to be “named and shamed.”

“Honestly. The traffickers need to be named and shamed,” Mrs Dabiri-Erewa said on Saturday, a day after she posted a video of some Nigerian girls trafficked to Ghana for prostitution.

She stated, “They (Human traffickers) are worse than drug barons!! And as long as they are walking about freely, innocent young children will continue to be trafficked!”

One of her followers on X, @idealist90, disagreed with her, saying “Traffickers are not worse than drug barons. Both are not different. If you support a drug baron, you are not different from a trafficker himself.”

Mrs Dabiri-Erewa serves in the government of President Bola Tinubu, embroiled in a cocaine trafficking scandal that saw him forfeit $460,000 to the U.S. government in the 90s.

Mr Tinubu’s drug trafficking case re-emerged shortly after he declared interest to contest the presidency in 2022.

In 2022, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois released fresh documents on Mr Tinubu’s encounter with American authorities over allegations of narcotics trafficking and money laundering.

Like you can't compare both crimes. If SKULL M1NERS de yab drug pushers for this forum I go just de laff. One literally involves unaliving someone because of his SKULL the other just sells narcs

Both crimes are miles apart in terms of consequences

Lol! She's contradicting herself. However, she knows why she made the statement because Tinubu, once a drug baron is now a president. Seems Tinubu was her ex when they were young and she knew about the drug baron thing more than anyone.

As for me, both are equal as the aftermath of drugs is worse as it results to death of self's brain, killing of others, insanity, etc.

Naija ppl, stop this senseless habit of commenting before reading.

She said " human traffickers are worse than drug barons". The blogger decided to modify her actual words, in order to make it sound as if she explicitly or subtly prefers and condones drug-trafficking; as a mild lesser evil.
No. She didn't.

Meaning that she agrees that they are in same basket-tag of evil.
Ah! Stop being over-emotional.

I agree to some extent, although both are bad. Drugs are just substances some governments consider(ed) bad and made illegal. There are also a lot of politics around drugs and what substance should be considered as drugs in every part of the world. Marijuana is considered as drug in many states in America today. Many politicians in the US are currently pushing to remove marijuana from the list of harmful drugs, after thousands of people have been jailed for taking or trafficking marijuana. In fact, Marijuana is no longer a drug in California.

A substance that is considered a drug today, may be considered as okay tomorrow. In other words, the concept of drugs may change over time.

Human trafficking is purely human exploitation. Deceiving underage girls into prostitution and making money from such is horrible. Shipping out underage girls for sex-slavery is beyond appalling. I would not care about a mature woman making money from prostitution, but having a man/woman make money from another woman's body is something else.

NB. I would want you to reason my point logically and not from a myopic political lens.

Confusion is confusing the confused.

These are the kinds of statements you get from govt officals when you elect a drug baron as president.

They are both bad.. infact terrible.
Madam Abike should not because of sentiments encourage drug barons. We understand she is not happy with the trafficked girls, still doesn't justify drug barons as better.

That's a bad comparison to make...

In the public domain by a government official with vast experience like Abike.

It wasn't really necessary to make that comparison in public.

Both are crimes leave it at that. Don't glorify one over the other. She should apologize.

Abike sef too like controversy!

See the kind of words coming from a top government official.

Now tell me, if you're a visa officer after reading this from a renowned olosho what will you do?

Only the Sadwesterners will love this. They always love evil.

The Human Traffickers are immediate destroyers of lives for personal wealth

The drug Traffickers are gradual destroyers of Human lives for personal wealth

The Human Traffickers trade Human beings

The Drug Traffickers trade Drugs

That is the only difference

She is right in a way

Anti doping law for who?

Of course, Tinubu is better as he has signed Anti doping bill into law, that's a man with clear conscience. Ironically, it's laughable when powder ambassadors are trying to point fingers at someone else, even when half the men's population are languishing in Asian jails.
