Breaking free from drug addiction is rarely a straightforward journey. For many people, it requires professional help, rehabilitation, and strong support systems. While some may find the strength to quit suddenly, countless others face a much tougher battle.
Rapper Odumodublvck has shared his own story of survival, recalling how he nearly lost his life to an overdose while studying at the University of Lagos.
In an interview with Taymesan, he revealed that the incident became a turning point in his life.
“I was a very bright student while studying at the University of Lagos. But I was indulging in illicit drugs. One day, I took it and almost died. I called my mother to book my flight to return to Abuja. After that incident, I only took drug once before quitting,” he recounted.
Odumodublvck expressed gratitude for overcoming the addiction and now uses his platform to caution young people against substance abuse.
“I’m grateful because there are some people that went into that life [illicit substance consumption] and they didn’t make it out. Some people didn’t make it alive, some had lost people to it like they died because of drug abuse. Some even committed suicide due to drug overdose. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible!” he added.
His testimony serves as both a warning about the dangers of drug abuse and a reminder that recovery is often a far more difficult road for many others.
