EDUCATIONAL FACILITY AND SOCIAL STUDIES STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE
IN JUNIOR WAEC IN JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
Afolayan (2010) said that drug addiction is the continuous
uncontrolled, compulsive use of a drug not only to include intoxication but
also to avoid the tortures of withdrawal. While drug abuse is the taking of
drugs or a deliberate use of drugs for purposes other than its intended purpose
without the supervision of physician or a medical practitioner.
Despite the unrelenting efforts of individuals, agencies,
mass media and the government at different levels against drug abuse, the
prevalent practice among post-primary school students, teenagers and even
adults in the community has not decreased but rather continued to increase.
Drug abuse/addiction has gone a long way to create several health problems and
dangers in our society. Such health problems include mental illness, cancer of
the lungs, school drop-outs, juvenile delinquency, delirious behaviour, etc.
The alarming rate of mental illness in our society/streets today whereby drug
addiction is a major predisposing factor becomes a concern.
No wonder, conclusion has been drawn to the fact that the
factors leading to the victims’ exposure are quite common, thus including the
consumption of dangerous drugs during cultural and other festivities either at
schools or homes during sports or athletic competitions among students, as
these students exposed themselves to practicing drug abuse students involvement
in cultism cannot be undermined as some put up some irrational acts.
Afolayan (2010) also said that students consumption of drugs
during examination for the purpose of alertness is also very common. Also the
adolescent periods are the period of chasing the opposite sex which most of
them cannot ordinarily do without the use of some drugs to enable them become
bold. The abuse of drugs which leads to addiction among the post-primary school
students. Gradually progresses to cause a host of evil happenings in our
society such as incessant occurrence of road traffic accident as a result of
effects of these substances. In fact some students breakdown during
examinations leading to failure and eventual drop-outs, some become rude and
arrogant to teachers and parents and occasionally causing riots and chaos in
their schools while some grow up to become criminal in the society landing them
in prison-yards.
According to Kobiowu (2006), drug addiction is the inability
of person to control his use of a drug/substance. He said further that for an
addict, drug use is more than a habit, his desire for the drug also involves
physical dependence i.e. an addict suffers a painful withdrawal illness if he
stops the use of drug. According to Mickey (1994), evidence from literature
established that the majority of people with addictive problems are dependent
on alcohol or narcotic drugs. While David (1989) asserted that when addicts are
deprived of their drugs, they experience an abstinence syndrome typified by
objective signs of distress including loss of weight, cardiovascular changes,
and gastrointestinal distress and in some cases of alcohol dependence,
psychoses and seizures.
1.2 STATEMENT OF
THE PROBLEM
