DRUG ABUSE EPIDEMIC


Alas -the drug abuse epidemic is here            
Driven by selfishness and greedy
Sustained by demons of addiction
Flourishing in apathy
Destroying stealthily but steadily
Eroding physical and mental health
Breeding disease, vices and crimes
HIV/AIDs, prostitution and armed robbery

Awake great citizen of the continent
Drug abuse is an autocrat that is still the author of confusion
Brake the laws and rules and hinders peace
Makes the weather so smoky and stuffy
The hidden place is now a dungeon of kleptos
The body cells regrets been in the cell of smokes
Pesistent and consistent is burning the systems
Heart cancer, kidney stone, lung dying and no hope for living

Alas -the drug abuse epidemic is here
Crippling today, tomorrow's leaders
Sucking curious and ignorant adolescents
Into its tempting vortex of toxic doom
Changing our darling angels at home
Our cherished school of learning
Into bloody raging battle field of horror
When shall this nightmare end?
Awake good people,procrastinate no more
Sound now the alarm of battle
Gird yourselves and bravely fight
This hydra-headed monster in our midst
Devourer of our priceless youths
And threat to stability of nations
This epidemic of drug abuse
All hands on check
United we prevail
Divided we fail and fall
let continue fighting against drug abuse

TESTIMONY O. OBI

I spent the bulk of my days lying in bed until my mattress became indented in the center. I soundtracked this indolence with playlist chalked full of Kid Cudi and Elliot Smith dirges. I smoked bunk weed and binge-watched TV series’ multiple times over instead of honoring social engagements. I stuffed myself with high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients with scientific names and questionable nutritional value. I hid out in figurative closets, dimly lit dive bars and under unwashed duvet covers. I masturbated like I was sponsored. I felt myself getting irritated and rustled easily. I felt like my friends were a cause of my mindset ...

youth Empowerment

Youth empowerment is a process where children and young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives. They do this by addressing their situation and then take action in order to improve their access to resources and transform their consciousness through their beliefs, values, and attitudes. [1] Youth empowerment aims to improve quality of life. Youth empowerment is achieved through participation in youth empowerment programs. However scholars argue that children’s rights implementation should go beyond learning about formal rights and procedures to give birth to a concrete experience of rights. [2] There are numerous models that youth empowerment programs use that help youth achieve empowerment. A variety of youth empowerment initiatives are underway around the world.
