 We are now in emo state and residents have been urged to do away with drugs and illicit substance abuses as a dangerous to human life. The special advisor to Governor Hope Uzodema on Health, Dr. Lena Okareke, spoke during a road walk to sensitize residents on the danger of drugs and illicit substances. She said the exercise was geared towards creating awareness in the mind of the people about the effect of drugs abuse and to the body organs. She said most chronic diseases such as brain tumble, multiple organ failure and mental health are as a result of drugs and illicit substance abuse. This exercise is meant to create awareness to the mind of everybody. The best ever thing achieved is true awareness. They say ignorance is no excuse for anything. Lack of knowledge can be very dangerous. So it is very important for the youth and everybody to know the devastating effects of drugs to the human life, to the body organs, to the neurological system and to everything. And we don't want our children, our heroes, future heroes and the stars of emo state to die suddenly from a preventable death. They don't want to leave drug abuse. There will always be a lot of problems in our society. Criminality definitely will increase. Banditry will also increase. Youth restiveness will increase. So therefore, I would advise that parents also should get involved. They should be able to talk to their words. Teachers as well should be able to talk to their people in school at ensuring that drug abuse does not occur at any level. This campaign against drug abuse is what is very necessary in the society because when you check around, you will see that our youth are really dying. They are dying mysteriously because of the incurumiry and the other drugs that they are taking and they are really applauded. Dr. Mrs. Lina Okereke for bringing up this programme and also we are coming out to say that we are in support because incurumiry is a very dangerous thing. Drug abuse is not something that should be toyed with. Drug abuse is something that causes depression and mostly health issues like kidney failure, heart failure, brain swelling, cancer, destiny destroyer, especially. Because when you are taking drug abuse, it is going to get you addicted and when it spreads your resources, you get into that kind of drug. It is going to spoil your life and they will destroy your career. Click the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.
