Which means all Hisbah members are drug Addicts

STREAM2MEDIA 🤣😂🤣 sharia catch you eeeeeh!

The truth is that, to a large extent, you can't separate drug abuse from poverty

Jailing users is not the answer. Those in power should ask themselves if they can wake up as a commoner and be happy. Drugs are an escape and those in authority aren't helping make life more bearable or even planning to.

Not only in kano but most northerners are drugs addict

What else do you expect them to do wey means to go School no dey? No JOBS, KILLINGS and KIDNAPPINGS everywhere! See, God go give Dem sense to realize the EVILS don to them by their Leaders and they will feast on them some day because their eyes MUST SURELY open ONE DAY...!

You won’t see any of these miscriants in the police custody. They always arrest those in the south and eastern part the country. Read it again.

That explains it

Not only In Kano state Abeg, in all Nigeria ni o!

As long as they're doing it secretly, they're saints.😌😊

Between hard drugs and beer which is more dangerous? Why is hisba going hard on beer Sellers and pampers the drug dealers?

There are drug addicts in every region of Nigeria. Don't be specific 🙏 If theirs is much in comparison, i guess it's because alcohol is prohibited in their region...

I remember when I was serving, there was this guy from north. He’s always with us in mami market but would never drink nor smoke cigarettes. He’s always with his mixture of codeine and tramadol. We call him aboki wey sabi

Hisbah mudded?

We know this one naa. People that sniff petrol just to get high!

So if we check well , Gandolar must be an addict too

Kano girls and codeine 🤝

Anywhere 2/3 Hausa Fulani men are gathering in Port Harcourt hard drug is sold there. Before you come to argue with me, do your investigation.

In Kano? Y’all never been Bauchi I guess.. even underage are junkies in Bayern Geri Bauchi state

Hehehehehe but na Igbos be una problem...only one set of people have problem, from Bokoharam to killings to drug addicts...I hail una o.

Funny how this northern criminal politicians has abandoned their people in poverty and turned them to drug addicts while looting the federal treasury and fighting the South with wicked policies, is God not wonderful.. Return to spender zoo alamnaiyi 🙆🏿‍♂️

But none has ever been arrested They are untouchables from the North

Eskiss mi ☝🏾. Is 3 outta 6 are Science Student. in every 6 Youngs drinking mineral in a pub, 3 mineral bottles issa hard drugs in disguise that are worst than a crate of Beer or a bottle of whiskey. Hisbah we not see such high Spirit, but be disturbing innocent Beer. Kano/FCT

With all their mad hisbah threats!!

No wonder 90% of dem dey craze😂😂😂😂

I thought they are religious and holy ?

This is a national problem.

The rate is very high over there. Their leaders know this but will keep looking and folding their hands while the masses are being impoverish and used to get their own way. They give religion and blind education to their people while their children go abroad to school.

Who cares !

Allah ya kyauta

What is hisbah police looking at? Oh Islam condone drug abuse. Awon eleribuuuu. 😝

The youths make themselves self happy 😃 Check out my furniture works. You may like them and if you want to have a piece kindly DM, whatsapp: 08145193444

Right from the days of Tanko yakasse. It's normal in Kano. They inhale shoe gum and more. We call them yandaba

Callme_lekan Lmaooo…Na For Kano I see boys wey dey pop Lin like say na beverage

When you're not build with sound background, why the hectic society thought everything bridge from common sense. Most time bad administration increase rate of drugs addict so am not surprise

If Hisbah or ISWAP/BokoHaram or Isa Pantanmi don't get you to slaughter the hard drugs will kill you slowly. KeepitOn

So what is Hisbah doing? They are just after shadows

5 in every 6 rather, crack heads that is why they don’t think properly

Very very low, hope their governor is counted too.

And they always think that southern has more drugs addict's.smh
