It’s a bad feeling to have a loved one be a class A substance user. It’s a good thing you want to help.

As earlier mentioned, he’ll need rehabilitation of at least 3 months and it’s not cheap. You can try Yaba which I think is about 150k a month. Other private ones are from 250-500k per month. Unfortunately, patients still relapse after first or even second treatment.

Some go willingly others are kidnapped. Whichever is best you can tell. But can’t say which works best.

I was in rehab through 2019 and I learnt how addictive crack/meth are from other patients as I was in for other substance.

He’ll need all the love and care your family can provide cos it’s no easy task for him and even the family.

I wish you all the best.

No amount of determination can make him stop cocaine without rehab,this are serious stuffs.

andyanders:
Op, with the position he is now, you are even at risk if you don't know how you handle this issue. Let us call a spade a spade. He could come after your life. He cannot change at this point. Get the parents involved or pack out from the house to an unknown place and ask the landlord to evict him.

Is it not better to err on the side of caution?
Is the usual way of smoking weed doing it from a “bung”?
Many Nigerian youth are users and addicts and most of them are in denial. Many also know nothing about the drugs they are using and what addiction is all about. They think it is just to “get high” to “cope with hard Naija”

Leave the “one woman” alone
She did well and even educated the poster... yet you find a way to make her look bad

...cheapest but most addictive

Last week I read in the news about a guy; a drug addict who stabbed his parents to death.



[s]As much as I can accept so many misbehaviours, drug using is not what I can accept. I don't care about your depression the moment you start using hard drugs you're dead to me.[/s] .


I'd advise you send him away with a team of police b4 we hear sad story of a drug addict killing his brother. I don talk my own oo. Remember you talked to him and he was aggressive

You won't read the content but come to the comment section to write an encyclopedia on what you don't even understand. Read the content and correct yourself.

Shibaraba:
Sorry about that.
Addiction is usual fuelled by depression. You cousin is probably using those drugs to "calm himself down" not knowing he is destroying his life. I've been there man, having something, living the life and suddenly everything disappears. Chose to find solace in something else. My own wasn't drugs though, but it nearly ruined me.
How I healed? Love. Refrain from giving him cash but always talk to him. Yarn generally. Call him at odd times. Help him look for a job if that's possible. He needs to get his spark and mojo back. Once he does the addiction will ultimately fizzle out.
Have patience but be firm. If he no gree hear brother send him back home. If anything happens to him you will be held responsible .

Thirteenblood:



In Nigeria?

I pray he isn't found out in by Nigerians.


I pray police catch him first.


Yet there are Black pedophiles too. There are Black Romans and Greeks and they love perversion too. Wherever White perverts travel it's because he looks for Blacks they are like him.

JJAbrams:


Thanks. I think I may be able to relate to the depression after he lost his job




He sleeps deep. I think its meth, doubt is he an afford coke. The pipe attached is similar to what I saw.

SeunCashbtc:
Chief firstly try and sit him down talk to him and let him know what he is doing is bad to his health not the fact that you hate him or nor the fact that he do stay with you but for the good propose of him maybe a week later try and take him to any yabaleft close to you like you're going to see someone in there and when you get there let him know what the causing of those at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital and they cause it with their hands after that bro try and look for a job for him maybe if he can be working those stuff will be stop sometimes he might be frustrated over the issue of not working. I believe with all that he have to change and if he didn't maybe you have to GI for spiritual healing for him
I have once been in his shoe once and I left it just because isn't helping my life

Pls I am looking for work in abk and its environs and I don't care if I could get it in lagos too all I want is that I want to put food on the table for my family I want to be a responsible father to my son kindly pls help a brother and I believe I won't make you regret if you do help me

What the heck is a single guy doing in a 3-room house?

What, your prick needs its own separate room?

This is how Nigerians don't optimize their income.

Move to a studio apartment and save some bucks.

Edoziesmart:


How old are you?
Don't be ashamed me to say it in public.
Because this your comment shows how low your IQ and age is. Under 25 years I guess.

Monkeyprick:



Oloshi, which one be my own?

Originalsly:


Heroin?...that one be another level. Let me share one more from the street. Winter... bitter cold.. everybody buried in layersss of warm clothing and a winter coat/jacket above everything else. Sitting on the subway... next stop.. door opens... White guy... around 6 ft 2 enters...army built type... stands in the doorway... normal thing... jeans... tee shirt... jacket folded in his arms... hmmmm.... is he not cold??... the guy begins to sweat... and sweat... and sweat... sweat begin to drain off him and start form poodle on the floor.... my brain froze. Later consulted my sister... RN... she without missing a beat... said heroin... and that's one of the worse if not the worse. Basically... the brain would demand heroin... and disrupt normal body functions to meet its demand. In the case.... speed up the heart rate... drive up the body temperature...put the body in overheat.... if that doesn't work.... it can make him feel as if he is freezing.... it can make him feel pains all over his body etc. Helped me understand why addicts will do anything.... anything to satisfy that immediate craving.
No drug addict ever.... ever thought for a moment... that he can be addicted. Start on that road.... some are lucky they got off on time.

Judgemental much
Meanwhile picture this- you visit someone you trust and they spike your drink or food. They do this for one week. Do you know a habit can form like this?
Many sexx slaves become addicts because they get forcefully injected with heroin. By dose three or five or so, a total slave to heroin is formed. Someone who previously never took even the odd bottle of stout.
Another one- an unemployed and or unhappy youth visits his friends who promise him a great high. In a bid to feel happy he agrees and gets a hit. By the third repeat an addict is here. A boy who the previous week was a chorister and an angel
So easy on the judging
