\u2022Nyaope’s stubborn roots spread fast in our communities.<\/p>\n
It grows fast like lethal weeds among healthy crops.<\/p>\n
We need not only cut its branches, but we need to uproot it from our society.<\/p>\n
\u2022All nyaope addicts and dealers should be arrested and given a heavy fine.<\/p>\n
\u2022All nyaope smokers should be taken away to rehabs to receive help to deal with their habit.<\/p>\n
\u2022Our mayor, Mike Masina says our drug addicted youth should be educated about the dangers of using drugs.<\/p>\n
But I think teaching the youth is not enough, the municipality should engage nyaope smokers in skills training and with recreational facilities to keep them busy and away from the streets.<\/p>\n
\u2022The nyaope problem affects us all, hence everyone must lend a hand and help where they can.<\/p>\n
Business owners should put heads together and come up with strategies for tackling the prevalent nyaope problem.<\/p>\n
\u2022Lastly, nyaope addicts didn’t drop from heaven, they have parents.<\/p>\n
I strongly urge parents to be more concerned about the deteriorating health of their nyaope smoking children to save their sinking lives.<\/p>\n
I’d be grateful if my suggestions will be tried and tested and not fall on deaf ears.<\/p>\n
Together we can defeat nyaope.<\/p>\n
Cops should cooperate in throwing nyaope sellers and users in jail.<\/p>\n
If we don’t effectively deal with the nyaope drug, it will always ruffle up our feathers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
