Afrobeats singer Small Doctor has raised an alarm over the prevalent high rate of drug abuse among youths in Nigeria.
Small Doctor expressed the concern on his X handle on Tuesday.
He expressed shock and narrated a recent occurrence that he witnessed while visiting his childhood neighborhood.
“There is one bros that sings against drug abuse on socials, been a minute I came across his contents (David something can’t fully remember). I think we need him more this moment. I strolled through hoods on Sunday and what I saw was heartbreaking. The rate young chaps use drugs nowadays is alarming. Wasiu Ayinde told me 6 years ago to establish a rehabilitation center, stating it is the new oil. That man saw the future,” he wrote.
He went on to narrate how he saw some of his childhood mates being slaves to the influence of drugs.
“Most heartbreaking was when I arrived in my hood, I saw some promising guys we grew up together sleeping while standing, some were even making some crazy postures while sleeping. So sad,” he wrote.
Fans reacted to his post, questioning him of his impact in that environment and how musicians also use the media to promote a certain lifestyle once they get famous.
