Popular comedian and actor, Okey Bakassi says the rate of drug abuse and consumption in Nigeria is alarming.
Okey lamented that more worrisome is the high number of Nigerian
celebrities engaging in illicit drugs, which he said was bad influence
on the youths.
Bakassi spoke when he appeared as a guest on Emma Ugolee’s ‘The Gist’ alongside African China and Sound Sultan.
His words: “Conservatively 70% of Nigerian Celebrities are on some sort
of substance today. “They have gone ballistic. You hear a lot of names-
SK, Kush, Loud, etc. the names come everyday and you’re struggling to
keep up with the nomenclature of it.”
Bakassi, however, admitted that he also indulged in the act when he was
younger, and noted that entertainers often take drugs to boost their
creativity.
“I did some of it too; It enhances creativity in the short term,” he added
