How I was introduced to hard drugs, paid N720,000 for sleeping injection – Sex therapist, Jaruma
Hauwa ‘Jaruma‘ Muhammad, the self-proclaimed sex therapist, has spoken about her battle with substance abuse, according to TheCable.
In 2023, there were speculations that the entrepreneur was under rehabilitation after a video of her looking distressed went viral.
Tosin Silverdam, the blogger, had claimed Jaruma was rehabilitated in Abuja for substance abuse.
But speaking in an X space organised by NDLEA on Friday, Jaruma revealed that she started to abuse drugs when she came to the limelight.
The sex therapist said a close friend invited her for a hang-out and tried convincing her to take marijuana but she refused.
“I once made a video on YouTube discussing something. It was just a plan; I didn’t know the video would go viral and turn me into the Jaruma everyone knows,” she said.
“I was trying to get a job and earn a regular income. Being in the spotlight, I made some mistakes. I never got involved in drugs during my secondary school and university days because I was my mother’s only child. One day, a friend who I knew was into drugs (marijuana) invited me to hang out. We were chilling together, and she offered me the marijuana, but I refused, saying I was okay.
“She then asked me how I relax since I don’t drink or smoke, mentioning that every celebrity has a way to relieve stress. I told her I can’t do drugs or drink because I’m Muslim. A few days later, I saw them with a balloon, and I wondered what on earth they were doing with it. I had no idea what it was. She said, ‘Let me show you.’ If I had known what the balloon (hard drug) was, I would have refused it, just like I refused the marijuana earlier because I know what weed (cannabis) is, what codeine is, and all that stuff, so when offered, I can say no.”
Jaruma revealed that when she eventually yielded to her friend’s request and inhaled the balloon, her brain function ceased and she started to drool.
“I was on the floor, and then my friend said that’s the initial effect, but after I do it one, two, three, four times, I’ll get used to it, and it will become normal, and I won’t be drooling anymore,” she said.
“This was something I didn’t know. She gave me the balloon, put it in my mouth, and said, ‘Just inhale it,’ and I did.
“So, after I regained consciousness, I left because I was so upset. So, I left and never spoke to her again.”
HOW LAGOS-BASED COSMETIC SURGEON INTRODUCED ME TO HARD DRUGS
The entrepreneur, who runs a sex enhancement brand, said she started using hard drugs after she met Anuoluwapo Adepoju, the Lagos-based plastic surgeon.
Jaruma said she was “deceived into believing” that the drugs would help fight off her depression and she kept taking it until she became addicted to substance usage.
The graduate of International Relations and Human Therapy from Istanbul Kultur University, Turkey said she attempted to commit suicide after “I became tired of everything”.
“Then Dr. Anu came. She had told me some things. She said some people have been paid to bring me down and tarnish my image. She said some people are after me. The details are not for here, you can follow me on Instagram or Twitter. I will post more details on that. I reported Dr Anu to my fathers Buba Marwa and Femi Babafemi. They were getting ready. I sued her in court. Sooner, you are going to see the petition with the date and everything. NDLEA were so mad when I told them what happened,” she said.
“… she said ‘let me give you one injection. If I give you that injection, you are going to sleep like you have never slept before. She claimed I was going to forget all my problems. She grabbed my arm and did the injection. The moment it touched my blood. I felt something at the back of my neck onto my shoulders. The body had felt something it had never felt before. As she was pushing I was collapsing. I was falling off my bed until I was completely knocked out.
“I did not know where I was. I did not know what I was doing. I was knocked out completely for like two weeks. When I woke up, my hands and veins were swollen. A few weeks later, when someone started saying something about me, I called and asked if I could get that sleeping injection. One pack was N60,000. I think I paid N720,000 to her.
“She would sometimes send the injections to me or come do it herself. I got nurses who would be injecting me every night. And then at some point, one stopped working for me. I mean one dose. I started using two doses. Two stopped working. I started doing three doses. Sometimes I do five at once. And that was when my body started jacking like I had epilepsy. And then foam was now coming out my months.
“Cocaine makes you hyper. Drugs make you low. After that initial feeling that the injection is sweet. When you wake up you feel one kind of depression. You even feel worse every time you wake up. I feel like crap.
“One time I got fed up and I just wanted to die. I was just tired. I knew what five doses did to me. So, I purposely injected myself with 10 doses. When my workers found me I was not breathing. I did the injection myself and used a very big vein on my wrist. I was becoming unconscious. As I was becoming unconscious, the needle fell out, and the blood from the big vein was gushing out. It was a horrific sight to see.
“Next thing, I just saw myself in a white environment with big machines and doctors around me. Doctors trying to bring me back to life. And I said I am still not dead?”
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, widely recognized by his stage name Burna Boy, has openly shared his ongoing struggles with faith and spirituality.
In a revealing interview with the streaming platform Playboymax, Burna Boy expressed a profound sense of unfulfillment, despite his decision to convert from Christianity to Islam in search of deeper enlightenment.
As he delved into various religious texts, Burna Boy candidly conveyed that his quest for meaning has only led to increased confusion rather than clarity.
His reflections highlight a complex relationship with religion, showcasing his earnest desire to understand the essence of belief while navigating the intricate landscape of spiritual exploration.
“Growing up, I was a Christian and then I converted to Islam. It’s like I’ve studied it all, but I’m still out here trying to find out what is really going on, you know? The more I research, the more confused I get,” he said.
Burna Boy added that his spiritual exploration is still on as well as his search for personal truth.
Daily Post
It has become increasingly apparent that there are significant issues in the marriage between Senator Ned Nwoko and actress Regina Daniels.
Regina has shared a message that strongly suggests she may be considering divorce from her billionaire husband amid their ongoing marital difficulties.
This revelation has sparked a wave of speculation and concern among fans and followers of the couple, who have been closely monitoring their relationship dynamics. Regina’s hints at potential separation indicate that there may be deeper conflicts underlying their public facade, raising questions about the future of their union.
In an Instagram post, she wrote, “I have a roof over my head and the next is divorce,” after sharing a picture of her new house. Daniels’ posts came as Nwoko defended his polygamous lifestyle, saying he feels sorry for men with one wife, comparing the situation to standing on one leg.
“Just imagine telling you to stand on one leg, you know how difficult it is. But it is much more balanced to stand on two, three, or four,” he stated during an interview on Channels TV.
Nwoko, who is married to four wives, including Regina Daniels, expressed no regrets about his marital choices, insisting he would do similar things again.
The couple’s marital crisis began when Daniels accused Nwoko of domestic violence in a viral video. Nwoko denied the allegations, saying he respects and loves his wives and children.
The name Omoge Saida has recently become a dominant social media trend in Nigeria. Once celebrated as a muse of Fuji music legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1), she has now become the subject of online discussions that blend nostalgia, controversy, and reflections on privacy in the digital age, as reported by Spectatorsng.com.
Omoge Saida, a popular UK-based gold dealer and Lagos socialite, became a household name after being eulogized by KWAM 1, the Ultimate in one of his Fuji classics. The Fuji icon, known for immortalising influential personalities through poetic praise, used her name to symbolize grace, wealth, and class — a hallmark of the Yoruba highlife culture that flourished in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her appearance in KWAM 1’s music established her as a symbol of beauty and sophistication, and the phrase “Omoge Saida” soon became a pop expression among Fuji lovers.
Decades later, that same name resurfaced for an entirely different reason, trending widely after a purported private viral video began circulating online. The incident ignited heated conversations about digital ethics, online privacy, and non-consensual content — raising questions about how quickly the internet can turn admiration into intrusion.
Following the matrimonial mess involving Senator Ned Nwoko and Reginal Daniels that has pushed out different narratives from the couples in the last three days on social media, Reginal’s father has finally opened up.
Regina had accused her husband, Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, of domestic violence in a video making the rounds, an allegation he already countered.
Popular skit maker Samuel Bankole, widely known as Samuel Banks, is facing a difficult time after losing his newly purchased iPhone 17 Pro Max at a concert.
Just days before the incident, the content creator who recently celebrated buying a new home had been actively promoting the Luli Concert organised by the Celestial Church of Christ, expressing excitement about the event and what attendees could look forward to.
In a promotional video for the concert, which took place on Friday at Tafawa Balewa Square, Samuel was seen dressed in his signature white garment.
However, a viral clip circulating online shows a distressed Samuel Banks searching for his missing phone alongside his partner and several others.
The comedian was seen pacing anxiously while discussing the situation with a man nearby, as his partner stood by looking visibly concerned.
Onlookers could be seen attempting to call his number in hopes of locating the device, but their efforts appeared unsuccessful.
This isn’t the first time a celebrity has suffered such a loss.
A few years ago, popular disc jockey Florence Otedola, famously known as DJ Cuppy, had her phone stolen in London after it was snatched from her hand while walking down the street.

The 23-year-old winner, whose real name is Opeyemi Ayanwale, was presented with a cash prize of N80 million and a brand-new Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) at a ceremony on Tuesday.
