The pervasive and the attendant effects of hard drugs usage amongst the youths of Isoko Nation have, in recent times, been of great worries to the people, particularly, the Isoko-Nation Progressive Like-Minds (INPLM), whose members are seriously concerned and committed to the future of our society.
It is a common knowledge that the challenges facing our society are multifaceted, but one pressing issue that demands our collective attention is the growing impact of hard drugs on our young people.
The temptation of hard drugs may seem like an escape or a shortcut to a life of excitement or belonging. However, the harsh truth is that these substances come with life-altering consequences, not just for the individual, but for families, friends, and the community as a whole. Hard drugs can lead to addiction, physical and mental health deterioration, social isolation, involvement in crime, and even death.
We advocate for the understanding that this path leads not only to destruction and despair but also robs the addicts of their dreams, ambitions, and the future they deserve. The long-term damage caused by addiction can impair one’s ability to contribute meaningfully to society, derails one’s personal growth, and destroy the very essence of who you are.
Instead, we encourage addicts to channel their energy and aspirations into positive avenues. Focus on education, skill acquisition, and personal development. Explore creative outlets, engage in sports, and connect with others who share similar goals of building a better tomorrow. One should always surround himself or herself with positive influences—mentors, elders, and peers who uplift and motivate you.
Isoko-Nation has always been a proud ethnic group with a rich cultural heritage. We are a people of resilience, wisdom, and unity. It is time for us to come together to support our youth and steer them toward success and fulfillment.
The future of Isoko-Nation lies in your hands. Do not let hard drugs take that future away from you.
Remember, true strength lies in making choices that foster growth, not in seeking shortcuts to destruction.
We believe in each and every one of you and your ability to rise above challenges. Stay focused, stay positive, and stay determined.
Together, let us build a brighter and drug-free future for Isoko-Nation.
