Social media has been buzzing with the viral video of a young girl, simply identified as Lizzy and her battle with cocaine addiction.
Lizzy is a 26 year old alumnus of Caleb Nursery and Primary school and Vivian Fowler Secondary School. In the video, she talks about how she started out using the drug as well as what she does to keep up with it. Any attempt to seek help and undergo rehabilitation had proved abortive, until she met Pastor Tony Rapu, an evangelist and social reformer.
Revealing how he met Lizzy, Pastor Rapu wrote on his instagram page, “We picked up Lizzy over the weekend. Here, she tells a bit of her story while awaiting our arrival at the joint she frequented in Ikeja. Lizzy tells about her upbringing, her addiction to crack cocaine and the depraved nightlife she lived to make money to pay the drug dealers.

She is currently undergoing her first stage of detox and rehabilitation in the long journey out of addiction. We hope and pray she returns to a normal and productive life afterwards.”
