PERILOUS SLIDE... AS GAY COUPLES, HARD DRUGS USERS INFILTRATE LAGOS CLUB
The dam is already bursting at the seams and if left unattended to, the flood will sweep away so many ambitious youths, hapless young ladies and impressionable silver spoon kids. This is no doomsday prophecy. Among the Island in-crowd, the jet-set and the nouveaux riches, a perilous habit has become so widespread that it is assuming a life of its own. What are we talking about? Just like that, marijuana and its other derivatives have suddenly lost the allure they used to hold for many. Now, the use of cocaine, that powerfully addictive narcotic with the tendency to make a frequent user go bunkers, is the order of the day. If you belong to the above-mentioned circle or you are a new inductee into the happening mix, one of the tests of your might is to sniff cocaine. How we knew? Attend any rave party in Lagos or Abuja and you would be shocked to discover that cocaine is virtually always on the menu list. More worrisome even is that young ladies, especially those who want to ‘belong’ and those who play hard-to-get to
lascivious men, always fall prey to this ploy at such parties. We gathered that this happens with the spiking of a prospective victim’s drink whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic, while a smoker’s cigarette is unconsciously laced with the lethal dose. However, if every Nigerian involved in Oscar Wilde’s way of life were to be clapped into gaol, there would be a large exodus from Lagos. This is because homosexuals have literally taken over certain Lagos nightclubs. They are mostly young guys who brazenly display their sexual perversions without bothering whose ox is gored. There are lots of major nightclubs patronised by them. Visit any of these clubs and you will see two guys kissing and smooching in public glare – a situation which many have interpreted to mean a desperate attempt by homosexuals to achieve social acceptance and legitimacy. The other day the Senate passed a law banning gay marriages but that move has not gone beyond the upper
legislative chamber. It was greeted with commendation and condemnation alike. Ask the owners of Sip Bar and Club 57 in Lagos, they would confirm this.
