S3x Therapist, Jaruma Narrates How She Was Introduced To Hard Drugs(Must Read)

Self-acclaimed sex therapist, Hauwa Muhammad, better known as Jaruma, has opened up about her battle with substance abuse.

CityNews Nigeria recalls that in 2023, there were speculations that the entrepreneur was under rehabilitation after a video of her looking distressed went viral.

Speaking in an X space organised by the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, on Friday, Jaruma revealed that she was introduced to hard drugs after she came to the limelight.

According to the sex therapist, a close friend invited her for a hang-out and attempted to convince her to take marijuana, but she refused.

However, Jaruma said she eventually yielded to her friend’s request to inhale a balloon because she had no idea about the hard drug.

She said, “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.

“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.

“I was on the floor, and then she (my friend who gave me the hard drug) 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.

“This was something I didn’t know. She gave me the balloon, put it in my mouth—I don’t know how they do it—there’s a way they do it so that the gas fills up the balloon, and then she 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—I was so mad because I don’t do drugs. So, I left and never spoke to her again. This is just the beginning with this thing (drugs); being in the spotlight comes with people influencing you, either positively or negatively, because if I weren’t Jaruma or popular, she wouldn’t be with me. I never spoke to her again. I was mad, and I was determined not to be initiated into any drug cycle.”
