Drug Free World Africa President Engr. Chinagorum Nkaru stated that the consequences of drug abuse and its effect in the community can no longer be ignored. She made it clear that any African leader who is still sweeping the exigency call of tackling drug abuse in his country is making a big mistake and will one day wake up to find out the entire community has been mortgaged into drugs dealing. The time is now to fight drug war. Engr Chinagorum said she can’t sleep and wait the youths of her clan continue to waste themselves in drug addiction hence Drug-Free World Africa (DFWA) collaborates with Roll Ball Federation Ghana to use sports to fight drug war.  Studies has shown that youth energy constitute the major facts youth are always in search of fun for live, activities to high and several means of engaging themselves. When these are not available the next step is to find high in drugs which without proper education, they will not understand that drugs will temporally give high but will not go low as of when demanded hence drug addiction to destruction. The dealers have vow to destroy our youths by telling hem lies “drugs make you high” It is now or it will be too late to re-write the dealers message to our youths. DFWA has volunteered its platform for drug awareness campaign “truth About Drugs”. Subdued Drug Abuse road walk strategy for a community wider outreach SAY NO TO DRUG ABUSE. Say No To Drug Abuse Community Road Walk is currently spreading round the states of Nigeria, the headquarter of DFWA.   DFWA in further proven analysis supports youths’ energy and passion for sport to be a practical means of engaging youth to deter them from drug dealing. Drug free world Africa then collaborate with Roll Ball Federation Ghana (RBFG) to use Roller Ball game to drive boredom and install passion for action in youth winning them over from drugs.  Roll Ball is a team sport that combines aspects of basketball, handball, and roller sports into a single sport. This sport was introduced in Ghana in 2018 and is fully registered under the Registrar General’s Department of Ghana. It currently operates under the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ghana. The sport is engaging, fun, and if given the right conditions and attention can become something huge and a great option for most of these youth who idle about and resort to drugs and other forms of deviant behaviour. Collaboration of the two organizing will be a magic move to speak the language of the youth “SPORTS” getting them effectively channelling their energy and drive into other productive avenues.

Most Challenging Epidemic in The Community

DRUG ABUSE: Drug Abuse is the most uncontrollable diseases destroying lives/properties & future of our youths/people. Control of drugs and illicit substance abuse is also one major aspect of PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY instead of the normal practice of CURATIVE HEALTHCARE. The phenomenon to cure most times damages some body organs and leaves us in the dark. While our children are developing Chronic Diseases and dying in numbers from ORGAN FAILURE (KIDNEY FAILURE, HEART & OTHERS) CANCER and MENTAL HEALTH unknown to us that this habit is acquired from one of the major but hidden causes, drug Abuse. The United Nations Office on Drug and Crimes (UNODC) has said that 14.5 per cent of Nigerians are presently engaged in drug abuse. This portends a negative trend to the future of the country. 27.7 per cent of the14.4 per cent of those concerned were youths who should face their studies.  The great work of NDLEA has not gone un-notices in the fight against drug abuse and illicit trafficking in the country. As the above data reveals the degree increase and the danger drug abuse imposes to the lives and properties of the individual in the community the question arouses what do we do to combat it. One NGO has emerged DRUG FREE WORLD AFRICA (DFWA) for the fight against drug abuse and illicit substances. DFWA declared war on drugs with drug-free-walk campaign in all cities of Africa starting from Nigerian to create massive awareness of drug abuse and its effect hence “Truth About Drugs”. Most importantly, DFWA strategy is a direct and indirect fight to subdue youth restiveness and other social vices in our communities and Imo State in general. Government cannot do it alone.

Curbing Drug Abuse Through Sports Campaign

Drug abuse is simply the abnormal use of drugs for the pleasure of the brain or other psychological or emotional satisfaction rather than the main use of the prescribed drugs. Ghana one of the Africa youth-dominated countries has been battling drug abuse for some time now. Youth in these societies focus on several aspects of social life for survival. Most youths in the slums and the streets abnormally use drugs, such as alcohol, marijuana, codeine, tramadol, cocaine, etc in the streets and ghettos in Accra, I found out that most of these children are between the age of 10-25years. They started doing drugs due to overcome poverty, lack of parental control and guidance, peer pressure, social influence, emotional and psychological trauma. These youths confide in youth workers the activities they engaged in to afford drugs due to the high level of addiction. They all have big dreams and beautiful talents, especially in sports but sometimes can’t help themselves. DFWA is gearing towards developing skating combined with hand ball into a competitive sport to promote positive youth engagement sports in African starting from Ghana.After witnessing a guy being beaten on the street after using a skate to pickpocket someone at Kwame Nkrumah Circle. The boy said he leaves on drugs and pickpocket using skate and makes it difficult to be apprehended which was shocking and heart breaking, DFWA hence initiating an alternative skating sport to exchange for drugs and pickpockets. Sport has the power to cause a positive change in youth. It can be an alternative wayto reduce drug abuse. These youth can be well educated through sports since they can easily learn from what they love doing. Sport in its cross-cutting nature can improve their physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and social stability. We can teach these youths various life skills such as respect, teamwork, discipline, focus, productive, result oriented and respect for rule of law among others through sport. They can make a livelihood through sports if we can assure them of the needed support.The youths are the future of every nation, if we save one of them from drug abuse, in turn can influence the rest. These acts will go a long way to creating a safe society. DFWA is ready to partner and collaborate with government, public and private sectors to actualise the dream of setting African youths from captivity of drug abuse. I believe together we win drug war. @drugfreeworldafrica
