Many are getting creative by working and making a decent living, but some think prostitution, stealing and drug trafficking is the only way they can "make it". Get something to do for your own good.

As you read this, Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has sentenced a Naija Big boy, 31yrs old Michael Nwobodo to 12 years imprisonment with hard labour.

Nwobodo attempted to escape on the day of his arrest at the airport, but he was caught. He eventually own up and pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful importation of cocaine.

Justice Okon in his judgement observed that the illicit drug trade was not abating and that measures must be taken to stop the criminal act.

It will be recalled that Nwobodo, who was arrested on February 29, 2016 with 81 wraps of cocaine on his way from Dubai, attempted to escape by breaking through a glass wall at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja. He was later arrested and treated for the injuries he sustained. The 81 wraps of cocaine were concealed in Parker Whisky packs along with boxes of chocolates inside a duty free bag.

He confessed to officials that he tried to escape because of the fear of going to prison.
