It has become everyone's problem.

It's Friday and a beautiful weekend to everyone, today was not that stressful but the sun was just too hot today, I was just pouring cold water on my head all through the day to calm my head down.

A lot of things has been happening in my country for years now and it's just getting worst every day, the police see every successful young man as a fraudster, good people no longer have peace of mind and they are more conscious about how the security agencies operate, cause these people don't want to know what you do for a living, they will just conclude that you are a fraudster.

I came across a post on social media about a young guy that was robbed by the police on his way to deliver clothes to a customer, he's a fashion designer and he was on his way to deliver clothes when police stopped him and used POS to withdraw more than 200k (400$) from his account, the money wasn't even his money, he's supposed to use the money to purchase materials.

Before we use to see the police as fraudsters problem and we ignored it but now it has become everyone's problem, if someone had told us that we will get to this place, we won't have believed but still, it is what it is, the system is corrupt and the only thing we can do about it is to have a good leader that can bring a good change to the country.

Another problem that is coming up rampant is drug abuse, the way young people abuse drugs these days in my country is something else and it's affecting innocent lives too and they are influenced by what they see in the media, they want to be like their role model and the first step is to start smoking like them or mixing drugs inside a soft drink like Coca-Cola or Pepsi, I might not know their reason for doing it, but it seems like they are enjoying it.

Just yesterday a popular record label was raided by government officials against drug abuse, they didn't meet the boss cause he was out of the state, so they took his signees, if not that they went live on IG to show the world what is happening on their end, the government officials would have taken them without anyone knowing, aside from the fact that they might be guilty of the crime, because a few days ago, one of the artiste dropped a song and they started playing the song in estate they live, they blocked the estate road with their cars and some was smoking loud (marijuana) in the video, that got the attention of those government officials, because what they were is a crime.

These people raided the house without a warrant, what a lawless country that the police will just break into your house anytime and scatter everywhere as if they are searching for something, they have been doing it for a long time, and both the guilty ones and the innocent ones are being affected, these people don't care about the youths.

It's becoming everyone's problem these days, we can't just overlook it as we overlooked the first one that happened, it's not about fighting for the drug abusers but it's about securing our future and the ones of the next generation, at least these celebrities should less the drug abuse by stop posting it on social media, people copy what they see and not what you tell them.

It's good to practice what we teach, just imagined someone tweeting that smoking marijuana doesn't make you look cool and the person is still smoking and posing it on social media. That's hypocrisy for real.

Four banks were robbed in the state where I lived yesterday and we just got the news that the robbers first went to the station in the city and drove the police away while killing a lot of people there before proceeding to the banks, they drove more than four cars and they came prepared, they robbed four banks and went to the ways without the police interrupting them, so many lives were lost yesterday. It saddens me.
