keeping fit is the one of the most important thing you can do for yourself but most Nigerians take it for granted.
Apart from the occasional jogging here and there nothing happens.
Is it that we don't have time?
Is it too much stress?
Is it because of traffic?
Or Is life in Nigeria just too hard and stressful?
I want to know because i see so many people out of shape.
People getting diabetes,heart disease because of their bad eating habits

Na who don chop dey find fitness.. Poverty will help U stay fit whether U want to or not.. Running out of money is exercise on its own..
Most Nigerians have a daily routine which involves
1. Trekking/Running to catch a bus
2. Starting their generator
3. Running up and down staircases
4. Riding okada or keke on a bad and bumpy road
5. Knacking

As for me I am praying to get out of shape, I am thin. How this people get so fat beats me, as in what should I do.

I understand if you eat more calories than you burn the surplus will fill you beautifully. In my case, an increase in calorie intake translates to an equivalent increase in regular poop.

What do you mean sef? So all this waka from Ojuelegba to Maryland is not working out abi? and the fight with conductor testing my boxing and wrestling skills no be fitness abi?

The truth is WE DON'T HAVE TIME

Because the the environment is not conducive period

Nigerians are the cause of other Nigerians not being fit. This is how it works.

When you're fit, you'll appear skinny to Nigerians and they'll see you as poor. When you're fat or obese, they'll see you as rich.

All Nigerians want to be seen as rich. Call a struggling Nigerian "a poor man" and see how he'll abuse you or get angry.

When you're fit and you offend a Nigerian, he or she will say, "Look at this poor man who can't afford three square meals."

No Nigerian politician exercises. If you see a Nigerian politician exercising, then he has encountered a health challenge and the doctor told him or her to do exercise every morning. With this, they'll start jogging once in two weeks. Nigerians have the mindset of, "If a leader can't exercise, then why should a followers?"

"If our leaders secretly consult native doctors regularly, then why can't I consult them for a G+ charm?" That is the mind of a Nigerian. It's always about, "If you're this, why can't I this too."

All Nigerians act too busy. Busy for what?

The only time a Nigerian sees being fit as good is when muscle is involved. If you're fit and not muscular, you will be treated like a poor man, except you're driving a big car.

It all boils down to: majority of Nigerians are poor, but no single Nigerian wants to be seen as poor — hence, most Nigerians will prefer to be obese or chubby than to be fit.

Only Nigerian celebrities understand the importance of fitness. The rest are hungry and don't have time doing what can't fetch money. They forgot health is wealth.

Most Nigerians spend their time writing exams or going to school. They'll be busy with books and how to get good grades. Before they graduate, they're old and ripe for marriage. They'll start searching for job or wife.

Two weeks later, someone in their family falls sick or dies because of lack of exercise, accident, or spiritual attack. They'll spend the small money they saved in school on burial, to entertain their course mates and friends. When the burial is over, the suffering starts again.

Three years later, they haven't found what they were looking for after graduation. Now, they become depressed, stressed, and desperate for success. A stressed and desperate person can't think straight, so exercise is the last thing on his occupied mind.

The solution to this problem is: after secondary school, forget about schooling further and use that money you would've wasted in school to start up a business or acquire a lucrative skill.

For people who want to become doctors, pilots, and other professions, you can further your education, but for the rest, acquire a skill or start a lucrative business.

If you can do this early in your life, you'll not be stressed or under pressure to live up to expectations. You'll have lots of free time for your health and lots of money to travel around the world to see how other countries handle life too.

A traveler is a happy learner and such people stay fit and live longer.

Trekking under the sun for several kilometers, standing on BRT buses, jumping from Keke to Okada, carrying water from borehole or well outside to bathroom, hustling from morning to night, shouting, frowning, quarreling and more all on just one small loaf of bread in the morning.
