The Seychelles drugs and alcohol quagmire

The drugs and alcohol problem has been rearing its ugly head for the last ten years in our society. It is no longer the occasional little joint that makes one merry. We have a major problem on our hands… ‘lapoud’ is now the most sought after drug and is having a devastating effect on a whole generation. Is it a ploy bythe SPPF? We have been ruled by Albert Rene for 30 years, who had been behind all the evil deeds in our short history… bombs, murders & disappearances, coup d’etat, mercenary ransom money, land expropriation, sale of arms to perpetrate genocides, nationalization of businesses, nepotism etc… the list is very long indeed. Who introduced drugs into Seychelles? Who drugged a bunch of misguided Seychellois, armed them with AK 47s and forced them to betray their newly independent country???

‘Lapire’ for the older generation and ‘lapoud’ for the younger generation! This is the best ploy for the evil SPPF to maintain their stranglehold on our country. Destroy those who can think and replace them by ‘yes men’ expatriates (or naturalized Seychellois!). Only evil minds can dream up such a scenario, right? You bet! This is JJ spirit in action!

How did we get into this situation? SPPF has been in control for the last 30 years. They came to power as thugs and today they have found a way to legitimize their ‘thugocracy’ by using the cloak of democracy to warp all their illegal dealings and evil deeds…There is too much money to be made in this trade and the JJ ‘Dream Team’ has to stay in power at all costs. Why do we find all exhibits, guarded by the police, disappearing? Why are the big fish still at large? Why did we have a record SR. 10 million heroine haul entering our country lately and intercepted only by accident not by design?

SPPF introduced the ‘lakanbiz’ and legitimized the sale of ‘baka & lapire’ all across our country with the specific aim of getting the bulk of our population inebriated. We had even a ‘Minis Lapire’ who was specifically recruited to implement the scheme of destroying our working population who would then become subservient to their masters! Today, we have an average of 10 ‘lakanbiz’ per district! That’s 250 for Mahe & Praslin! That’s 1 ‘lakanbiz’ for every 320 Seychellois! Or one for every 160 adult (working population)! Compare this with the police stations or clinics per district…

SPPF is the root of all evil in this country! Today’s drug and alcohol problem is their own creation. The biggest ‘Escobars’ are sitting right next to the top people. This is why we cannot get rid of the problem. The SPPF government is directly involved! If they were not the perpetrators of the problem, they would have cleaned our country a long time ago! The quagmire is, it is what makes them win the elections! Get the people drunk and high; let them burn all their brain cells and you can continue brainwashing them to vote for the devil. Because you see, the devil is the perpetrator of all the vices. Do you wonder why the SPPF rallies are all orgies of booze, fights & insults? It is a vicious cycle!!

Today, James Michel visits Mont Royale and adopts a defeatist attitude, imploring the ‘Escobars’ to leave our children alone! He decides to fight the symptoms instead of the disease. Why you may ask? Well, they are all involved! Because if they were not, they would sincerely find a solution once and for all! But no, they foresee a lot more business opportunities for the future. Hence the reason why the JJ “Dream Team” has decided to build a second Mont Royale!

Our dependence on expatriate labour is at an all time high. We have now become dependent on expatriate labourers, gardeners, carpenters, masons etc… So where are our skilled Seychellois? Zot dan lakanbiz! SPPF encourages our population to drink ‘lapire & baka’ as it is safe & clean, but hides the fact that it is pure ethanol - which burns all your brain cells! With the devaluation of the rupee, unfortunately the ‘lapire & baka heads’ cannot come out of this hell hole…

The younger generation who is supposed to take over the reigns of our country, is too busy doing sachet lines & getting their daily fixes. Meanwhile, the foreign labourers settles in, fills the void and opts for citizenship because ‘they love our country’!

People of Seychelles, just look around you and listen carefully… One of the traits of alcohol and drug abuse is to be in constant denial. This is exactly what our so called leaders are doing. They lie and lie and lie and lie… in the hope that they can get away with it or sweep all the problems under the carpet – the ostrich syndrome.

Is it not time to stand up and say enough is enough? If the SPPF government cannot or refuses to deal with this very serious problem, we are making an appeal to all citizens with a conscience to take the matter into our hands. Let’s unite and rid ourselves of such evils in our society. Our children deserve better… Pou Lanmour Sesel!
