Ten Years Lost to Addiction | Nigeria News

Abraham’s harrowing journey through addiction cost him nearly a decade of his life—lost careers, shattered relationships, and physical scars he can’t erase. Once an oil company employee, he was forced out over unbearable body odor, a symptom of his downward spiral.
