IMPACT OF DRUG TRAFFICKING AND ABUSE IN OUR NATION’S IMAGE, CONTENT ANALYSIS OF SELECTED INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL MEDIA CONTENTS ON NIGERIA.

ABSTRACT/PROPOSAL

I choose to write on Drug and trafficking because it has assumed a global concern, even in the sporting sphere, it is being questioned.  The press has devoted lots of its spaces and airtime to attack the monster its impact is very disturbing and divesting without concerted efforts of all and sundry it may be a scourge that may threaten the entire world for the rest of this millennium and beyond. The phenomenon is a problem for youths everywhere nowadays, parents, teachers and neighbors to have problems with drugs, know many Nigerian adolescents many bright promising young boys and girls have been effected by drug abuse, the luckily once temporarily, the unfortunate once for long periods.  Many adolescent are doing time in the prisons for engaging in drug trafficking. In spite of the above facts, this issue is not only peculiar to youths alone, some adults have found solace and fortunes in drug abuse and trafficking, and encouraged the young minds with their spurious financial backing as they serve as barons, this has constituted a great image problem with the crusading attacks from world press on this nation. This is why I inquisitively and painstakingly chose to bring out a well research work in a very lucid and practical manner.
