Don't mindthem. Bible said time comes when they will not endure sound doctrines. But heap to themselves teachers having itching ears.

1)It might be a curse from evil relation
2) Maybe he got initiated in school
3) it has damaged a part of his brain, making the urge uncontrollable.


Whatever the case, take him the The Lord's Chosen God will heal him

Also, stop giving him pharmacy drugs. It subtlely does more harm than good. (On purpose).
Scientific Research by a big pharmaceutical industry concluded that treating patients is more profitable than curing them.

Look for natural cures for brain disease like Autism, Azhiemers etc.

CBD (cannaboid) oil can also cure brain diseases. But there are different grades like ones with higher terpenes etc. Find the right one and buy.
It is a strong herb but at the same time positive effects. The evil FDA banned it for years and just recently made it legal.

yea. Let's say u r correct. Can u sit down and think about ur life? Why are u not a gun runner or an addict or a worst version of ur original sef? That is if u r not. It's ur upbringing. If u r, its ur parents fault

God created man a free moral agent with the power to decide to do good or evil.

As the scripture hath said...see I set before thee this day life and death...

He that walks with the wise shall be wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed....

Did Adam have the power to refuse the temptation of Satan or not? He was even parented by God...

My dear friend.... We are products of our choices. You do good or bad , it's your choice.

How many people were fortunate to be raised by godly parents? How come not all who were raised by atheists turned bad.

You can be raised in the safest homes and by the Holiest parents, but what you would become is your decision.

I have a 42 year old brother who for over 18 years has been on hard drugs. He started this habit while in secondary school and couldn't finish tertiary education for same reason. Efforts made by the family to stop him from substance abuse and rehabilitate him at several occasions failed. Each time such effort is made, he recovers after a while but returns to the habit. Currently, he has become mentally deranged and there seems to be no solution at sight.

He has been admitted to different psychiatric hospitals on two occasions. At both times, he was treated and confirmed fit and sound to return to the society. The moment he was discharged, he quickly went back to his old ways and all the resources spent went into the drain. In one of the occasions, we were strongly advised to engage him as joblessness was one of the greatest problem causing the abuse. We got him engaged by securing a fantastic job which he also left after a week of working there. Other meaningful efforts geared towards engaging him to enable him to become occupied and start earning a living as a man also didn’t work out.

We have organised prayer sessions by powerful men of God, nothing has happened yet. I do want to sound like someone without faith. I strongly believe that our able God will make things beautiful at His time. However, the situation has gone out of control and we need to act fast.

These, amongst many, are some of the interventions already done by the family and we cannot fold our arms and watch people mock us in shame every day due to his abnormal activities in the community.

Now what he does is forcefully, take money from our aged mum, sell any family property at sight in exchange for money to buy his drugs. Beat my mum up at any slightest refusal to give him money. He has been jailed many times for committing several offences related to this habit, yet the problem persists. Maybe we have not applied the best approach?

I am calling on fellow Nairalanders to assist with solutions. I believe there are some of us here who may have experienced this problem in one way or the other, or have an advise to give to solve this lingering painful situation. Your personal or professional experience (s) may go a long way in salvaging this situation for us.

I believe a problem shared is a problem solved.


When an issue like this goes on for this long, there will obviously be demonic invasions too so a deliverance to drive out demons is necessary however that's not all to do to solve the issue.

The reality is he has lost self control and willpower and that is where some of the issue began. Why he resorted to drugs in the first place and what he was escaping from or trying to get that made him take the drugs in the first is another thing you guys need to uncover because there are always underlying issues to these things.

My advise is get a Christian psychoanalyst who understands logotherapy...a psychoanalyst not driven majorly by money. Search out the book Man's Search for the Meaning of Life by Victor Frankl. If your brother is able to find a good enough meaning to life and the suffering he has gone through so far as well as why he ever started taking those drugs, he will be able to muster will power...the mind is a powerful thing I tell you. Don't forget deliverance is also important but if you are a Christian ask the holy spirit to lead you to a church that operates with true wisdom.

All the best.

You guys can also try to work on conditioning the environment of your home to feed his mind with information that can displace some of what is going inside him. For instance anointed soft christian songs playing maybe while he is sleeping or even awake, soft music that speaks joy & serenity to his soul, pictures of him in his best days looking bright and happy, etc. These things could work wonders in displacing the strongholds in his mind. The human mind is amazing if the right things are impressed on it. And I am sure he is tired of his state but has lost all will to help himself.

You can contact Karu general hospital in Abuja. They have a good mental department. Your brother will be given drugs and some injections to cool him down and he must always go for regular check up and again he needs all the love and care he can get. I know someone close who is doing well from this
I pray God will heal him.

You have nothing to say..I suggest you shut the *uck up..one of my cousins actually has the same issue the Op's brother has..I once stayed in their house and I can tell you his parents gave us the best family upbringing anybody can have..they are even pastors..infact at a point this same cousin of mine was a Sunday school teacher before he gained admission into the university and joined some bad groups. The point I am driving at here is that most times it's not really about the parent but about the child, your parents can only do their bits, the bulk of the work lies on the child..Biko don't bring the man's parent into this..may you not have a child that be like this ooo..that's when you will know that it's usually not the parents fault..

He should be readmitted to a psychiatric hospital. I think he's suffering from a relapse since he has already been on admission before.
Afterwards he should be made to undergo rehabilitation at the Drug Abuse Treatment Education and Research(DATER) unit of the hospital.
If it's possible to change his environment after rehabilitation, do that as well.
Also, who are his close friends? Are they into drugs as well? If that's the case he has to stop being around such persons.
It takes a lot of effort for most people to overcome Mental and Behavioural Disorder (MBD) due to psychoactive substance abuse.
I have a friend who's into substance abuse just like your brother. Currently he's been readmitted again for the 3rd time since he suffered a relapse just last year, a promising young guy like that.

Talking from experience, I don't think this thing as to do with anything like spirit. From my experience, one major cause of drug use is idleness, I have observed that when ever I sit for a long time doing nothing, the Sweet memory of how good I will feel if only I take some dose. Another thing to ask him is, what led him to using drug, everybody into drug, something pushed pushed them into it. It could be one challenge he was facing, to find a solution to that problem, he probably went to different people seeking advice and maybe one person suggested the drug aspect to him and he tried it and the thing made sense to him then. I have a reason for using the I'm using. But the reason I'm now using the drug now is not what led me into it but because my body now needs it to function normal. Your brother case is too bad, his probably into combination of drugs, using several different drugs at a time. If his one particular drug, he won't be that bad.I have been into this is thing for 9 years, you can never notice it in my behavior. If don't tell you, you can't know. I use just one particular drug though in much quantity. I promised not had any other one nothing even alcohol. When ever me and my friends go out, they go for their brands I settled for malt or coke, they will be like what is this but I didn't allow that to shake me. Use of drug is bad whether one or combination. That is why I always try my best not to introduce anybody into it. When I read some comments here I laugh. Some people said chain him, some said take him for deliverance. You can never understand if you have not been there. From my experience the best way to stop, is to reduce the dosage gradually till the brain can function well without it. 85% of ppl in drug wants to stop but its is very tough to do. Me I want to stop. What I'm doing is reducing the dosage. Normally I take 450mg a day, now I take 150mg but I will have to combine with ibuprofen to make it more effective. I think I'm making progress. Anybody that is advicing a person into drug to stop it totally at once is a killer. The person will cause more problem than solution. Its almost impossible to do without replacement. Cutting down the dosage and getting active all the time will bring much improvement. I pray I'm able to stop it totally one day.
