Every job has its fair share of stress. Some are very stressful while others are a little less stressful. Bodi nobi firewood, hence every job has a short-run and long-run effect on the body. I will highlight some Nigerian Jobs and their physiological effects. Let me start with myself.

Online customer assistance: So i provide online customer assistance for a network support group and the physiological effects peculiar to my job are; back and neck pain (sitting for too long), tingling of the hand (constant keyboarding), tingling of the ears (sound from headset) and strained eyes (staring at monitor), sometimes your face become heavy from over talking and a “hangover” feeling from night shifts. But i love what i do.

Teacher: The physiological effects peculiar to the teaching profession are; osteo-strains (from excessive standing), numbing of hand from constant writing on the board, risk of poisoning from chalk particles, constant headache from dealing with stubborn pupils, and sometimes your face become heavy from over talking too.

Police Force: how many light skinned police men do you know? Very few right? That’s because sun dey show dem pepper on duty. Other physiological effects peculiar to being a police man are; osteo-strains (from excessive foot patrolling), risk of poisoning/infection from dirty and contaminated Naira notes, risk of being ran over and other miscellaneous mishaps caused by torrents of curses from past “victims”.

I will come up with more later….....Happy Sunday!

Bank Teller: Aside from back/neck pain, infection from handling dirty and contaminated Naira notes, bank Tellers can get muscle cramps from excessive stamping. Also the “weather” in bulk counting rooms can cause pneumonia.

u make small sense

@ Moderator...Front Page pls...this Piece of write up is very educative and informative.

Engineering: Tuning, cranking, and handling heavy tools/ machinery can cause hardened palms. If na lie, shake your mechanic hand- sand paper! Engineers also get bruises and smelly feet from constantly wearing boots. Also there is the risk of deformity from mechanical/electrical accidents.

True talk!

Bus conducting: I am sure many people will argue against it, but Bus conducting is a career. These guys are marketers, co-ordinators, announcers and cashiers rolled up in one. The physiological effects peculiar to being a bus conductor are; hoarse voice from constant shouting-calling attention of potential passenger, calling bus stops/insulting passengers-Injuries/scars from scuffles and Police/LASTMAN brutality. Secondly, bus conductors are known to take a lot alcohol. You can’t conduct a bus in Nigeria with “clear eyes”, these accounts for redness of the eyes. Finally, bus conducting has the highest risk of infection from handling dirty and contaminated Naira notes.

Hmmn, interesting
