HEI ITS REALLY EXPENSIVE TO DO DRUGS

Almost if not everybody desires to be rich,successful and happy so to be candid, I wonder why people  do drugs like cocain, marijuana, heroin and the likes knowing quite well that drugs can't offer any of these three. Research shows that over 23 million Americans are addicts and the 2015 World Drug Report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimated that a total of 246 million people -slightly over 5 per cent of those aged 15 to 64 years worldwide used illicit drugs. The statistic is really alarming and calls for an urgent attention. Probably this people had no knolwdege of the negative effects of drug abuse or they choose not to considered the effects. I shall be outlining seven reasons why you shouldn't do drugs perhaps they could be of help to you or someone you know.
1. It rather multiplies instead of Solving Problems. Most times people venture into drug abuse with the mindset that it helps them solve or forget their problems and issues like stress from work, family or marital issues, confidence issues just to mention a few. But as time goes on it becomes glaring that they are "not eating their cake and they are not having it". The problems seat they waiting for them to be restored to their normal state.unfortunately at this stage they have the problem to face probably bigger than it was, and they have the drug abuse issues to battle with. You can't be high on drugs 24.7 so they will always be a time for you to suffer the emotional and physical trauma you were trying to avoid wrongly. Stop being a coward and face your problems squarely instead of trying to stick to what will only mask them for a while.
2.It Kills "You" and all you stand for. Probably you should be familiar with this statement that "the best person you can ever be is you"?  Drugs deceives you into behaving and acting like the person you are not. It gives you a false identity of yourself and makes your real identity look bad unfit whereas we said the best person you can be is you. Drugs blocks your reasoning capacity and just like cataracts it impares you mental vision. So in simple words drugs kills the real you and offers a temporary lie as a life.
3 Drugs weakens you economically. We could say that whatever expenditure that does not add to your finance is probably kiliing your economic life. Drugs doesn't probably, it actually weakens and kills your economic growth. Most of the drugs taken by addicts are alarmingly expensive yet they are not careful enough to observe the continuous holes made by the the purchase of drugs on their savings and income. Why not save your money for better investments, drugs are not going to help you economically.
4 It kills your relationships. Most drug addicts find it difficult to associate and relate well with people. This is because they either feel unfit or the people around them are too scared to relate with them. So in other words it makes people unwittingly reserved. Life is really boring without friends and families to associate with and that's what drugs achieve (relationship killer).You need people so stop sending them away.
5.It attacks your Health. This is one of the most painful part of doing drugs. After a long time of taking drugs, your immune system becomes weaker thus making you more susceptible to frequent illness. Health is wealth don't risk it on drugs.
6.Its a crime that often leads to other crimes. The fact is that, aside from few places like Washington amongst others its illegal to be in possession of drugs. This illegality is why people are arrested when found to be having drugs in their possession. Aside from that drug addicts are prone to committing other crimes like rape,rubbery, and thuggery. This they do most times as a result of the influence of drugs.
7. Its a sin . The Bible stated clearly that he who knows what to do(good) but refuses to do it, to such a person its a sin. Having read all the other reasons stated earlier you need not be told that drug abuse and addiction is not good. Itd time you quit doing drugs cause its so not good for you

TRIBUTE TO LATE HONOURABLE JAMES ENEJO OCHOLI BY JULIUS O. AKUBO

Indeed the space between birth and death is time but the significance of the time is in its pragmatic usage. Late Hon James Ocholi was born on the 26th of November 1960 to Mr and Mrs James Momoh Odoh of Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi state, He graduated from ochaja secondary school where he gave his life to Christ (Bornagain). Born to an extended family and having lost his father at the age of eighteen, He obtained his LLB from the University of Jos via a scholarship from the then Benue State Government. He graduated in 1985 and was called to bar in 1986. After years of productive practice he became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in December 2007 and as at of the time of his death (2016) he was the Nigeria's minister of labour and Employment. He was happily married to Mrs Blessing Fatima Ocholi who died in the same accident that claimed the life of the legal luminary alongside their son . He was blessed with five children;Ojone Peace, Aaron Enojo jr, Joshua Eb‘ojo, Uyo Blessing jr and Ele Excellent.
He was the pioneer president of the Full Gospel Business men's  Fellowship International Ankpa branch. He also once served as the National Secretary of The Full Gospel Business men’s Fellowship International in Nigeria. Late Ocholi was a Notary Public of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Pro-chancellor and chairman of Council of the Salem University, Lokoja amongst others
Many have lamented,many have being wailing but are they Christians who will like Barr Ocholi choose to be outstanding for Christ in their area of jurisdictions till death. We may not be able to rank his performance but to some extent he was outstanding. His death is not only a loss to the igala people, to kogi state, to Nigeria and to the world but also a loss to the Christiandom. Its our prayers that men and women will rise to the call of standing for God like Hon. James Ocholi and even better than he did in politics. Barrister James Ocholi was indeed an icon and a Christian. Really hoping to see him at the masters feet some day. Adieu legend.
