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 focus. this will africa screwing drug abuse problem. this problem is heightened because of the continence young population. nigeria has and made that rock problem on its hunts in africa, most populous country, more people abuse in drafts than anywhere else in the welt. in the following story, we meet bazooka in cannot 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 source of use drugs are rubbing, major is move of their future in missouri area of colonel, we meet was 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 mo. location. ok next 5 minutes. instead for you to go to w lan by mid dragon with follies. so you just met calling us up the drugs that is like listening condos, t tomor is or if a non coding d as

a form examine 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. a gang is converging jungle li call. it's a luxurious a hold for the consumption of illicit drugs. i go bob with soon bazooka arise with the stock with the quizzing. you know, i don't know. it might not take you don't like it now. i ordered

a yell of what i get, whatever, if i get drugs, i take it. i will fill joy. hi p. i know said my burn free. as bizarre as it may seem, bazooka is on his way out of drugs. hence his cooperation. i once have on it. i realize that if i take it, it will be an odd up 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's

one inmate. from here, we moved to what the organization referred to as a black spots in san gary areas, 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 has started with concerted steps, the nigerian society could reclaim its young generation one youth at a time. i honestly hope that bazookas 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 brock's into 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 super corp our backyard, it paints a gloomy picture. but a young people, images, capital up which are, are not given up. they have ideas for how this problem, country salt and this research 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 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's luca decisive nigeria, okay? population 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 to society. will it be, ah, lack of parental cheer? will it be broken home? 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 thought 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 a divorce coleman 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 finds someone or be friends someone or gets her boyfriend that will eventually the push her 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 puppy. can you tell us a little bit about it? first of all, i think as pigeon off puppy aren't talking about drug abuse, i think you're going to go anywhere from each other. you go out to the streets, you see a very young dudes. walk in on the streets. teaching has like a sivitz like awesome, it's normal and parental support. also secure resembles the postal side. he thought infighting from way. confir will are really influenced using agreements with drugs . okay. okay, ahmed, you've 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 moment you in 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 use it here, i don't think there's a home in a journal, 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 you experience was your personal experience or let of oliver as to why you would. so multi i own, i'm into hard label. i used is as thank you love to walk in and tell me, tell you it's been a hard day. i can sleep when i get home this new life, the new drugs may shislett. so needs to be awake all night. just 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 who have a problem there has to be a legislation does, will also cover this kind of law contracts. now that the, are you much, maybe wendy and dearly ups was actually enacted. those tests were 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 term problems you are as there. what are the end of the day? 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 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. and the idea of uses 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'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 they're also delux called relapse. we've done reports on how we've seen so

many cases and colonel, well, drug addicts are tied up in chains like animals, all in the name of you have the locating them. so let's come up with solutions. now . the, 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 we begin. then after you should be able to a child to be able to go to his parents and literally told 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 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 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 their beauty relationship between the, the boost 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 towards sensitization. yeah. 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 empty joke. you need to look at the site to read corruption 1st. steve, will you put in the 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 t v just with some bags of read and put it on fire already as what happens to the rest of the drugs. because 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 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 that drug 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 focus academy in cape town, south africa here, the 29 year old is training $5.00 to $6.00 times per week. for master's child has come along weight. if he's one of the main performance is up circuit. clown, i provide jack now his repertoire is like located in the cape town, district of woodstock. zip up is not only a sucker society 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 circus. we believe that any kid and mother wants it back on if they've given the opportunity in life and they passionate about what they,

they do and the child can make it. and zip that, 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. yeah, cool. was one of this children. touring with zip is upset because took your kobus around the whole world. in the last 2 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 he was to leave on the streets of a town close to cape town, he was addicted to highly dangerous drugs such as man trucks and myth. co boss was at rock bottom. he joined, zipped up at the age of 15 with the help of an outreach program. i wanted more for myself. i didn't think of going back to the rags, what gang sellers, i'm and i love that. that didn't come close to my head. and

some of them gave me a taste. they gave me a bite of the epl. and as for myself, i want one more apple, the artist of zips up a training for one of the most important events in south africa. the national at festival inquiry and stout, your global said, 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 cotton goes up. i wonder why i remember? what her mother was just helping never to give up one entity and a

your call will steve everything. but now he has to improvise. ah, it works out well. the plows from the audience easy to in the middle of the happy bunch. list food yeah. he's aware, within this group, the former homeless child found himself a real family. i'm happy to see that the yahoo boost 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 money one to school. she is the 1st woman to win the east africa superbike championship. but to do this, she had to speak past all of the stereotypes and societies, expectation of what a woman should do. hominy one, chico is a true speed demon professional super biker. as in racing for the past 5 years, even before she hit the track, he always loved the open air rush motorbike. but a racing career all started with his ears from a friend because i knew you're a very good right now. so why don't you pick up the challenge? oh, when the funds, you know, the chuck and her you cause, you know, you can do this. so i thought i really funny is that and like i challenge than i fully love with it and following her passion has speed off in 2019. how many became the 1st woman to win the east africa to put my championship?
