in south africa we follow a former optics journey from the streets on to the stage. and can years 1st, females to pop by champion fixed on the right in the past with the issue focuses on africa growing 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 racks than anywhere else in the welt . in the following story, we meet bazooka in cannot nod my to out. 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 source of use drugs are being major is move of their future in missouri. our area of kernel we meet was a 34 year old meal. drug addicts was volunteered to bates. all i started taking it when i was in this country school, it was introduced by my friends. bazooka is gainfully employed. he works with a construction firm. hello, rust over study, yell molly location. ok next 5 minutes. instead for you to go to jungle lamb by mid dragon with follies. so you just met calling us up the drugs that is like listening condos to its ama is or if

a non coding the other form exam. d 5 silva, i thing is dolly 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 again, is converging jungle li call it's a luxurious abode for the consumption of elicit bruce. i bought a suit bazooka arise with the stock blue with the quizzing. you know, i don't know yet my, now i take it on like i own a job,

a yell of what i get with her. if i get drugs and i take it, i will 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. i realized that if i take it, it will be an order problem to my my body and my health, but gradually annual. i hope so. if i put mine, i will stop it. put a walk away from drug addiction as 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. this session of this are well her shelter. we are very well agitated, over 100 and it to one inmate. from here we moved to what the

organization referred to as a black spot in san 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 or if it of drugs who react to their health bazooka has taken a giant step and has reached out for help. today, bazookas, journey to freedom, how started with concerts 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 brock hotels 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 aiden traffic s, like in the case of supercop, our backyard. it paints a gloomy picture. but a young people, images, capital up which are, are not given up. we have ideas for how this problem come to result in this recent st debate, they 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 g, he is a 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? if luka a 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, luck with parental cio? 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 resort into 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 pick our daughter 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 festival? i think a speaking of bobby, i'm talking about drug abuse. i think you're going to go anywhere from each other. do you go out to the streets? you see a very young do you walk in on the streets teaching has like a civics like awesome. it's normal and parental support or social security numbers or proposals either full financing from way comparable or 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 somewhere close to use. use in or someone in your family is use it here. i don't think there's a home in that area known doug. okay, let me just do a quick survey up 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 you experience was your personal experience. or let of oliver as to why you would do drum. so multi, i own them into hard label. i used is as fan kill after walking. i do. some will tell you it's been a hard day, i can sleep. when i get home there's no light new drugs, michigan, so needs to be awake all night this to walk, probably different unit trucks to do so. 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?

if i 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 local drugs. now that the, are you much, maybe wendy and dearly ups was actually knocked it. those teeth were not put into consideration what, what, what do we do? we do use gun. when do you do? do you arrest them off? cause more mentally term problems. you are as there. what are the end of the you cannot prosecutor because data is not covered under our legislation. so we have difficulty that we have a phaser. 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 drugs is tolerance, then leads to addiction. so psychologically this people are using these drugs. they are, they are chain because they can stop themselves from taking the drugs even if today they are going to keep a trop lot of home. and the idea of use us in the place and somebody wants to get the drug and we're 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's the next logical solution to a person who is suffering from addiction. they are the medical you trained rehabs where you can go and get some psycho social hope that you need therapy. but then there are also the lou called rehabs. we've done reports on how we've seen so many

cases in conway, 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 a 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 we begin, 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's someone there for me. drugs isn't on you. think that's been from here. okay . i'm sorry. let's hear from you because besides enforcement of laws, what else can be done? then it's, are you, is that mindset that has been committed before the fear of the full use of someone . this will make the police officers our friend and a need to show it from the outward perspective that okay, you are our friend. or they need to the beauty relationship between the boots versus the appearance also needs to be sensitizing. they also play

a very big rule in, you know, on corbin this. yeah. hi george. so a holistic approach toward sensitization. yeah. and education ahmed 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 empty joke. you need to look at the site to corruption. first. if you're, you're putting this responsibility of fighting this war, i do really fighting the war. or are they just retained in to fight the war? good question. yeah. because you, you confiscate a whole lot of drugs. we do see on tv just with some bags of we then to put it on fire over the actual hapless the rest of the drugs. the cookies you, 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 a new to do better to form the agency provides us with all the tools that we need

on. so that you will see our best suited office also able to get in 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 a drug abuse minutes. another is to provide support and understand that addicts need affection and opportunity. and this is what kept house zip zip academy gave to

jacobo st. klassen. 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 workers academy in cape town, south africa. here the 29 year old is training $5.00 to $6.00 times per week. the foremost rich child has come a long wait. it was his one of the main performance at zip up circus. clown, acrobat juggler. his repertoire is wide located in the cape town, district of woodstock. zip up is not only a focus society, but also a training center. the academy offers a free education for young people. rent one friends, book found. zip is up in 1995 together with his wife law and both a former circus. we believe that any kid, no matter what the background if they're given the opportunity in life and they are

passionate about what they do, any child can make it. and zip said, you know, we kind of provide that platform to give children that maybe don't have as much as others the platform to do something with their life. jacobo was one of these children touring with zip up circus to kill kobus around the whole world. in the last years, he even performed in front of tennis superstar, georgia federal or barack obama at the white house. however, his road to success was rocky. as a teenager, if us would leave all the streets of pearl, a town close to cape town, he was addicted to highly dangerous drugs such as mun, trucks and myth. ecoboost was at rock bottom. he joined the zip up at the age of 16 with the help of an outreach program. i wanted more for myself. i didn't think of going back to the rags. what dang sellers them and oh, i love that. ah, that didn't come close to my head. and some of them gave me

a taste that gave me a bite of the apple. and i told myself i won. i won more of the sample, the artist of zips up a training for one of the most important events in south africa. the national, at festival in queenstown, jacobo that his group will perform the latest stage program for this all tricks and stents have to be on point. it's festival time. slowly, the room feels with people and the cut and goes up. i am yes. and one thing i remember my daughter has helped me never to give up one entity. oh, oh, oh oh,

your call was gave everything. but now he has to improvise. ah, it walks out well. the blouse from the audience sees it all in the middle of the happy bunch. blissful, jacobo, he is aware. within this group, the former homeless child found himself a real family. i am happy to see that the jacobo list has been able to make something positive out of his life despite his earlier struggle with drugs. and this goes to show that with a writing formation and direction, we could all become better versions. but you know, sometimes you have to defy dos around you. when people see you can't achieve

a goal, you must prove them wrong. that is a story of how many one t cool. she is the 1st woman to win the east africa to pop by tom to ship. but to do this, she had to speak past all of the stereotypes and societies, expectation of what a woman should do. how many one g is a true, the demon? the professional super biker, has been raising for the past 5 years. even before she get the truck, he always love the open air rush and what the bike, racing korea, all thought it was there from a friend prison. i do have a good way to pick up the challenge when the funds to shark and you, you know, you can do this so that maybe funny is that and like i challenge, then i fall in love with it. and following her passion has paid off in 2019, how many became the 1st woman to win the east africa support by championship?

she then came 2nd of 2019 red starship, a bite championship in johannesburg, south africa as the weapon that you had that the fuss this here was. so me i was intending to and then i having them, what do you get from them? and i kinda, yeah, comedy has been instrumental in reducing the stereotype that racin is not for women . although some races folder, she didn't belong on the track. she didn't let us know her down as she was there was you, you meet some people who want to put your don't. but you know, my clown in their welfare is always in the home when he started making a name for herself. her coach is also noted more women on the track. we are seeing more and more interesting fact. i would see easy, now we are heading towards the past and mom, locally known as for the buddha,
