   DRUG/ALCOHOL ABUSE AMONG             THE YOUTHS
One of the major negative issues affecting the youths in Nigeria and the world at large is drug /alcohol abuse. This has really eaten deep into the lives of youths.
Many factors usually contribute to the influence of drug/alcohol abuse among the Nigerian youths, they are: peer group influence, parental background (broken home), emotional stress etc.
This group of people can be seen in the act everywhere in the society. We cannot say it is peculiar to youths from a particular tribe or region, they can be found in our families, churches, schools, markets, offices, etc.
The thing is, there are lots of dangers associated to this bad habit youths get themselves involved in. They normally use this expression “getting high” to express another realm/world they find themselves in any time they indulge in them.
Some of the drugs/alcohol commonly abused by youths are Heroin, Cocaine, morphine, ephedrine, Indian, Hemp, Tobaco, Ogogoro, burukutu, kai kai, akpeteshi, pito etc.
Disadvantages of drug/alcohol abuse are really disturbing. It affects the addicts in the following areas: academics, physical health, mental health, families, delinquency, stigmatization by peers etc.
I write to advice our future leaders (youths) to abstain from drug and alcohol abuse. When you waste your youthful age, you have lost it. Time waits for no one, you cannot eat your cake and have it. Serve God with your youthful age. Remember, you do not own your soul.

LITTLE, LITTLE PATIENCE!  Assuming you had an interview to go for and you are all cleaned up, good to go, in high spirit, very optimistic that you would get the Job. Suddenly, you get to to the Bus stop and there is a long queue. You have only five minutes left, what would you do?(I can almost guess your answers but it would be interest you to know that in as much as your answers may be obvious, there are very simple ways of handling anxiety or even avoiding it before it develops. Patience is a virtue and not everyone has it. Old or young, rich or poor, small or big, whatever your disposition may be, we all need patience to achieve our goals.
