CHAPTER ONE

 

  • INTRODUCTION

The term drug scientifically denotes any substance other than food, which by its chemical nature and implication when taken affects the normal function of the living organism.  This term may also include any number of household, industrial chemicals and even agricultural substances in other words, to physician; an abuse of the drug is inflammatory.  Socially speaking, the reactions to the use of drugs are based on emotional responses rather than on factual information placing it in the right perspective.

Drug abuse could also denote the excess use or wrong of self-administration of drugs without the doctor’s prescription.  This may have an effect on the central nervous system and so on the mind, mood, behaviors and eventually, the total health and personality of the individual.

 

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Drug abuse and trafficking in Nigeria dates back to many years ego, in the colonial era, during their administration introduced many of educated

 

 

Nigerians into the taking of hard drugs like cocaine, heroine and the most common Indian hemp in consonance with the then manual labour in order to ginger them to put more and more of their efforts on the job.

Subsequently, drug trafficking began to spread even after the colonial masters left the country.  Then in the two decades, it became a major economic activities among Nigeria who see the monetary gain of drug trafficking and then came the act of peddling in drugs for this monetary gain and some times for definite consumption which could be from one part of the country to another.

Consequently, the impact of this act of abuse of the drug or trafficking is as strong an impression on something and the stemma of being ear marked as a drug addict or peddler.

Against the negative implication of drug abuse and trafficking, the background of this study is aimed at assessing the impact of drug trafficking and abuse on a nation’s image – with particular content analysis of selected international and local media content on Nigeria.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM

The Nigeria society has been crawling with all forms of social maladies.  This ranges from picking pockets, cultism down to drug abuse and trafficking these activities of non – social status is the work of our teeming youths and graduates, who have wondered on streets of Nigeria cities and find no job opportunities in the saturated labour markets where you must have strong connections to be able to join the market.  Some of those who perpetrate the drug trafficking are the ones who have lost their jobs due to some minor problems they had with their employers.  These undue attitudes and behaviors of the Nigeria citizens pose a serious problem to the Nigerian.
