The Culture of Hard Drugs


The culture of the sale and use of hard drugs is now the order of the day in several communities in Nigeria.

The lives of a sizable number of young people in the country now hang in the balance as they vigorously embrace the culture.

Education is no longer the destination, as violent crimes with prospects of riches increase on a daily basis.

The culture is now practiced in the open and those involved surprisingly exhibit boldness and confidence. Why? 

Respected members of communities covertly support the trade.

At 6, Kehinde Aderibigbe street, Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria, the sellers of the outlawed substances, use the grinding of pepper and tomatoes as a smokescreen.

Sadly, law enforcement agencies which benefit immensely from the drug trade are morally handicapped to eradicate it from communities.

Power for Development by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

Divine power is absolute and incorruptible, it is greater and more valuable than terrestrial and subterranean power, which usually are subject to the control of lesser forces from the created objects of beings. For man to succeed in life as a leader and in governance, he must seek the grace of God as bestowed on King Solomon in the Holy Bible. The substance of divine power are knowledge, wisdom and the power of a discerning mind, which makes man dispense with the power of authority with the fundamental respect-a follow up of due process in power dispensation. The Holy Quran 2 : 269 and the Holy Bible Proverbs 1 : 7 attest to this fact. ''He granteh wisdom to whom He pleaseth : and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflown ; but none will receive admonition except men of understanding.'' In the same vein, the Holy Bible Proverbs 1 : 7 emphasizes the need to rely on divine power only, most especially sourced through having respect for the dictates

Reforming the Economy

Image
It is to the knowledge of millions of Nigerians that the basic social-economic institutions have been destroyed. The challenge now is how to fix the nation's health, education, judiciary and other institutions or ensure a satisfactory turn around. In developed countries, economic activities are the backbone of politics and, as such, distortions or reversal of economic policies or long-term strategic national objectives are rare. Sadly, little or nothing has been achieved to guarantee a good economic foundation, which ought to be the backrest of politics. This is reflected in the awkward power sharing, power rotation and inequitable distribution of resources and good governance. The kind of economic reforms by the government would go a long way in determining if Those-in-Charge are neophytes in the herculean task of governance.

The Patient Wait

The Legislature at all levels of government have from time immemorial depended on the executive for their survival. To this extent, the lawmakers are always exposed to the arm-twisting tactics of Those-in-Charge. Read-Helplessness in the Face of Dirt Several instances abound wherein the committees on public accounts and other committees discover irregularities in the budget preparation and implementation of a sizable number of Ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDA)in the course of carrying out their oversight functions. The committees usually send out notice of invitations to the Ministers and other heads of the MDAs, sadly, such invitations were ignored without consequences. Indeed, all those in this dispensation are witnesses to the promotion of impunity and double standards, even as the suggestion is that Those-in-Charge are now preoccupied with preparations for life after governance. The suffocating security situation across Nigeria and the priorities of certain heads of l
