The town of Orlu in Imo State records high rate of drug abuse. They indulge in a drug popularly known as ice or methamphetamine (METH) otherwise referred to as ‘Mkpuru Mmiri’ in Igbo language.
Methamphetamine is one common addictive drug that is on the rise among Nigeria youths presently, especially among youths of Orlu in Imo State.
Despite the fact that it has no single health benefit, the youths have used this drug as a standard for competition to know who has a stronger head to withstand its reaction.
In most cases after those empty competitions, they lose their sanity. Many go as far as hurting themselves, screaming in public, going naked just as a result of excess intake.
In course of making research for this article, I was able to interact with someone that has tasted it but later turned a new leaf. When I asked him how does it feels to take that, he said, there's no single benefit, that first it will make you restless, calm and weak. You will lose sleep.
According to him he said most people that takes it are those that does night Job, so it will make them not to feel sleepy (this is talking about internet fraudsters otherwise known as yahoo boys).
In this article, the bone of contention is Orlu, due to the insecurity that the government has created using pseudo groups masking as Biafran groups, many youths switched to ‘Mkpuru Mmiri’ in a bid to keep awake and vigilant but sadly they have lost it. They end up committing crimes instead of the initial plan of curbing it.
Orlu today under the leadership of Hope Uzodimma has become so deserted that businesses at times in weekly basis don't exceed four days due to fear of the unknown and the criminality done by government backed criminals masking themselves as Biafran agitators. But in the actual sense, the leading Biafran Organization recognized worldwide (IPOB) have in multiple publications distance themselves from those criminals, and have said that their sole aim is to protect their people and not to destroy them.
For that IPOB have waged war against the marketers of this deadly product known as ‘Mkpuru Mmiri’, but as usual evil always fights back, but IPOB have continued to fight this evil serpent with multiple heads. Join in this fight, expose any syndicate you know through IPOB secret information branch (your identity will be protected).
If you see something, say something. Let's conquer this evil. Evil grow when the people of good conscience are silent. Together we can.
Shalom!
