While Hauwa Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma, Nigeria’s controversial sex therapist, has been out of the limelight for over a year, not many knew that he was involved in an epic battle for her life and sanity.<\/span><\/p>\n During this period, there were speculations that Jaruma, who prides herself as Nigeria\u2019s most trusted, most successful, and highest-paid sex therapist in the last decade, was in rehab for drug addiction.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the self-proclaimed sex therapist has now spoken about her battle with substance abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2023, there were speculations that the entrepreneur was under rehabilitation after a video of her looking distressed went viral.<\/span><\/p>\n Tosin Silverdam, the blogger, had claimed Jaruma was rehabilitated in Abuja for substance abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n But speaking in an X space organised by NDLEA, Jaruma revealed that she started to abuse drugs when she came to the limelight.<\/span><\/p>\n The sex therapist said a close friend invited her for a hang-out and tried convincing her to take marijuana but she refused.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI once made a video on YouTube discussing something. It was just a plan; I didn\u2019t know the video would go viral and turn me into the Jaruma everyone knows,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI 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\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cShe then asked me how I relax since I don\u2019t drink or smoke, mentioning that every celebrity has a way to relieve stress. I told her I can\u2019t do drugs or drink because I\u2019m 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, \u2018Let me show you.\u2019 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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Jaruma revealed that when she eventually yielded to her friend\u2019s request and inhaled the balloon, her brain function ceased and she started to drool.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI was on the floor, and then my friend said that\u2019s the initial effect, but after I do it one, two, three, four times, I\u2019ll get used to it, and it will become normal, and I won\u2019t be drooling anymore,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis was something I didn\u2019t know. She gave me the balloon, put it in my mouth, and said, \u2018Just inhale it,\u2019 and I did.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cSo, after I regained consciousness, I left because I was so upset. So, I left and never spoke to her again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The entrepreneur, who runs a sex enhancement brand, said she started using hard drugs after she met Anuoluwapo Adepoju, the Lagos-based plastic surgeon.<\/span><\/p>\n Jaruma said she was \u201cdeceived into believing\u201d that the drugs would help fight off her depression and she kept taking it until she became addicted to substance usage.<\/span><\/p>\n The graduate of International Relations and Human Therapy from Istanbul Kultur University, Turkey said she attempted to commit suicide after \u201cI became tired of everything\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThen 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,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 she said \u2018let 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.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI 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.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cShe would sometimes send the injections to me or come to 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 of my mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cCocaine 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.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOne 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.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNext 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?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jaruma By Publisher Kindly share: While Hauwa Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma, Nigeria’s controversial sex therapist, has been out of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,2],"tags":[461,462,463],"class_list":["post-1566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life-style","category-news","tag-hauwa-mohammed","tag-jaruma","tag-sex-therapy"],"yoast_head":"\n
