Yoila-“People actually believe that alcoholics have a choice. It’s sad. Every form of substance people get addicted to is a form of painkiller. The question should not be ‘why the addiction?’ But ‘why the pain?’ we have to begin to see addiction as a medical issue and not a moral issue.”

Sir Kuli Kuli-“The addiction in Nigerians is as solid as the citizens themselves. Every govt increase tax on mostly harmful products that are consumable, but to everyone’s surprise; the consumers will tripple the amount of consumption. Just watch out the numbers of bear parlor will increase.”
