in south africa, we follow a former addicts journey from the streets on to the state. and kenya's 1st female super by champion, takes us on a ride into possibly with the issue focuses on africa screwing drug abuse problem. this problem is heightened because of the continents young population. nigeria has immediate rock problem on its hunts in africa, most populous country. more people are abusing drugs than anywhere else in the world. in the following story, we meet bazooka in kano, nod nigeria, he gives us an insight into how many young people procured rocks and avoid the prying eyes of society. in colonel, a thriving commercial city in north west nigeria. here and surprising youth,

a viable workforce. what's on the flip side use also plain victims of illicit drugs and so so so abuse, drugs are rubbing, major is move of their future in miss our area of colonel we meet was in a 34 year old meal. drug addicts was volunteered to bait all i started taking it. when i was in secondary school. it was introduced by my friends. bazooka is gainfully employed. he works with a construction firm. hello, ross over stoutly yell molly. location. ok next 5 minutes. instead for you to go to don't hula by mid dragon would follies . so you just met. call us up. the drugs that is like listening condos to its alma is or if a non coding the other form exam d. 5 silva,

i thing is the only was after various phone calls, bazooka drives to different locations in cuddle to pick up supplies. having gotten the products bazooka drives to a junkyard away from the prying eyes of the community and the look at a junkyard. a gang is converging jungle li call. it's a luxurious hold for the consumption of elicit rose. i bought a suit bazooka. arise with the stock linda with the quizzing. you know, i don't know yet my now i don't like it. i ordered

a yell of what i get. what i'm sorry if i get drugs and i take it out, fill joy. hi, p and o said my burne, free as bizarre as it may seem. bazooka is on his way out of drugs, hence his corporation. i was have on it at a less that if i take it, it will be an odd up problem to my my body and my health. but gradually, i know i hope so. if i put mine, i will stop it. put a walk away from drug addiction is an enduring journey. this rehabilitation shelter houses over 30 victims of broken substance abuse at a go. we were told that the last batch of inmates were discharged 3 days ago. in session of this, our well, her shelter, we are very well agitated, over 100 and it's one inmate. from here we moved what the

organization referred to as a black spots in southern gary area of co states. most of the rehabilitated drug abuse victims come from here. when we create a program, we call them together and you know, share ideas with them. tell them what drugs tell them either effect of drugs who react to their health. bazooka has taken a giant step and has reached out for help. today, bazookas, journey to freedom, i started with concert and steps the nigerian society could reclaim its young generation. one youth at a time. i honestly hope that bazooka successfully gets clean, but for many young people in nigeria, the picture does not really look good for us. what us and weak law enforcement make it easy for drug cartels to ship tons or brocks in to west africa,

on the transit to europe. and many of the drugs take their route. you see here. but a lot of these drives remain in countries like nigeria, and when police officers meant to check these crimes accused of aid in traffic s, like in the case of supercop, our backyard. it paints a gloomy picture, but a young people in the address capital up which are, are not given up. we have ideas for how this problem country result in this recent st debate does share some of these ideas with it at kamani. ah hi and welcome back to another episode of the 77 percent this week. we are back in a bull janae julia and we had to ask an age or question. is it possible to win the war on drugs? i want to ask mr. mohammed a j is the commandant of n d l e a. this is the national drug or legislative body here in the country. about 14000000 people have used drugs at some point. why do you think this number is so

high compared to the rest of the world? luca decisive nat geo. cuba mission was were over 200 and some to 1000000 people. so 14 is what the fraction then what steve it is too high. so the local factors are, can be a deuce as to whether or why they are using these drugs, lack of employment into society. will it be, ah, lack of parental cheer? will it be broken? who? so a lot of factors can be a deuced, why a lot of use artic in his room. so let me introduce half. so who is an investigative journalist? tell us what the biggest challenge is, what are people consuming? how are they getting access to it? most drug abusers do it as a try for help is not that they just woke up and decided to start doing drugs, but rather there's always some sort of stemming reason why they chose to do it as a, as a sort of relief. yeah. he mentioned unemployment, of course it's one we'll also need to look at the aspect of women, many women resorting to taking drugs from what we have them reported because of

their being married at a young age or because they're divorced. and in northern nigeria being at the bottom, it is such a taboo to the point that some parents would kick their daughter out if they could cut out obviously. where do you think you'll find refuge? yeah, it's either she find someone or be friends on one or gets her boyfriend that will eventually pusher or influence her into starting drugs. right? yeah, i want to come to you hums because you come from a region in this country called poppy. can you tell us a little bit about it? first of all, i think us bitten off puppy and talking about drug abuse. i think you're going to go anywhere from each other to go out to the streets. you see a very young dudes walk in on the streets. teaching has like a civic like awesome. it's normal and parental supports also security berthal support schools. i do. 4th infighting from re confir will are really influenced using agreements with drugs. okay. okay. i made you been quite for a while. let me bring you into the conversation. what is your experience, ah, with drug use and abuse, ah, knowing full well that at the more mentoring

a relationship with somebody who is kindly fighting addiction. everybody has something to do with the use of drugs either you use in you have used or someone close to you is use in or someone in your family is use it here. i don't think there's a home in ledger alone doug. okay, let me just do a quick survey of what he's saying. any of you know somebody who is directly or indirectly affected by drugs, please raise your hands. so it's very, very wide spreads. okay, so tell me what your experience was, your personal experience. and that of oliver as to why you do drums. so multi am into hard label. i used is as thank you, after walking to motel, you've been a hardy, i can sleep. when i get home, there's no light, your new drugs, michigan. so needs to be awake all night just to walk. probably different unit talks to you to one way or the other easy. it gets us coming back to the use of jokes. okay. yeah. can you tell me some of the things and ways that people are employing to get that high it will go to extra length leg getting higher from the

fuck away. and it works. yeah. so mohammed is your job then an impossible one. why you set up to fail? because if people are going to literally go to the gutters to get that high and who knows what's let them there? you can't possibly enforce that. you can't control that. we will have a problem there has to be a legislation does, will also cover this kind of law contracts. now that the, or you much may be windy and dearly ups was actually inactive dose disc. we're not put into consideration what, what, what do we do? we do use current one, do you, do you arrest them off? cause more mentally you term problems, you are as they're what are the end of the you cannot prosecutor because data is not covered under our legislation. or we have difficulty de leon phase or let me come to you as a psychologist because i think it's really easy to castigate. people who use drugs and say, hey, they're a menace to society, they're the problem. but are we failing to understand the deeper issues?

addiction doesn't, it doesn't just, you just can't get addicted to a drug. your body system has to tolerate. the drug is tolerance. that leads to addiction. so psychologically this people are using these drugs. they are, they are chained because they can stop themselves from taking the drugs. even if today they are going to keep a trop lot of home india offices in the place. and somebody wants to get the drug and was showing you that, that, that particular neurotransmitter is going to keep on secret. and until he finds, or he, she finds her way to go and get this drug. yeah. how accessible is rehabilitation and treatment? because that the next logical solution to a person was suffering from addiction. they are the medical you trained rehabs where you can go and get some psycho social hulk that you need therapy. but then they're also delux called relapse. we've done reports on how we've seen so many

cases encounter where drug addicts are tied up in chains like animals, all in the name of you have been taking them. so let's come up with solutions. now . there's the reason why the war on drugs was started because there are far reaching consequences to the abuse of some of these substances. hasta. i think it's better to nip it in the bud before it begins. then after you should be able to a child to be able to go to his parents and literally tell them what they're going to let their hearts out completely so that they know that at the end of the day, there is someone there for me. drugs isn't on you think that's there from here. okay. i'm sorry. let's hear from you because besides enforcement of laws, what else can be done then it to you is that mine says that has been committed before the fear of the full use of so we need to make the police officers our friend, and i need to show it from the outward perspective, that okay, you are our friend. they need to the beauties relationship between god the boost versus the appearance also need to be sensitizing. they also play

a very big rule in, you know, on corbin this. yeah. hi george. so a holistic approach to web sensitization and education i made a let's hear from you 1st hand experience having used the drugs yourselves, the now senior golf and battling with this. what do you think it will take to finally put an end to it? put in an end to joke, you need to look at the site to corruption. first. if we jojo, put in this responsibility of fighting this war, i do really fighting the war or they just returned in to fight the war. good question. because you, you confiscate a whole lot of drugs. we do see on tv and you just with some bags of we then to put it on fire already as what happens to the rest of the drugs, the cookies. let's wind up with mr. mohammed here because i started with you also curious to know what more you can have in order to be further empowered to do your job, go from new to do better to, to form the agency provides us with all the tools that we need on. so that you will

see all that sort of able to get them to put their best foot forward. you yeah, well i thank you for the comments and i think that's a great place to wrap up this debate. now at the beginning, i asked a critical question, is it possible to wage a war drugs? i don't know the answer to that, but what i do know is that from the discussion here, it is clear that the focus should rather not be on drugs, but on human beings. thank you for watching a thank you. also, it is and your panel for that interesting conversation. if want to know more about the ideas that these young people have had on to our youtube channel, where you can watch a longer version of this to beat. law enforcement is obviously one way to deal with that. brock abuse men as another is to provide support and understand that addicts need affection and opportunity. and this is what kept house zip zip academy gave to

jacobus class. and today, the former drug addict wows funds with his captivating skills. the turning point india cooper's class and life began in this place. the zip code academy in cape town, south africa here, the 29 year oldest training, 5 to 6 times per week for masters child has come along weight. if he's one of the main performance is up circuit. clown, i provide jack now he's rebel 2 is light located in the cape town, district of woodstock. zip up. he's not only a sucker, but also a training center. the academy offers a free education for young people, print one print book, found zipped up in 1995 together with his wife lawrence, both a former we believe that any kid and mother was back on if they're given the opportunity in life and they're passionate about what they, they do,
