In the past, what we hear about is people fainting, and after pouring them water, they wake up. Fainting then was so rare.

I remember back then someone was motivating students in a tertiary institution that they shouldn't give up, even if school is hard, there's no way they can just slump and die.

That was many years ago, But can he say that today?


Today, someone will just go to the kitchen to cook, next thing is slump and die.

Someone will go to bath, next thing is slump and die;

Someone will be walking, next thing is slump and die;

Someone will be on the pulpit preaching, next thing is slump and die;

Someone will be jogging, next thing is slump and die;

Someone will be playing football, next thing is slump and die.

There are many other scenarios that calls for concern.

This wasn't like this in the past.

What is wrong?

Mostly underlyning heart Heart conditions, allergies and other things. Also, What we were eating back then is different from now. They've chemicalized everything and it has effects.

That's why the best way to live is to grow what you eat.

So sad.

It seems practically impossible to grow what you eat.

Even if you plant them, the seeds, fertilizers, and other items could be chemicalized.

Too much processed food... medication.

Lack of physical exercise.

Was gisting with a friend..wondered how we were all lean and mean during University days.. despite drinking multiple bottles of Coke daily.

He reminded me that there was no GSM... we used to walk up and down... few tricycles. In a single night, escort up to 4 girls to hostels ontop sex matters.

We burnt crazy calories. Can imagine if we were recording it on digital tools like Samsung Health now.

Aw...so young a Nigerian.


People slumped and died in the good old days. A lot. Infact people also died of heart attacks in those days. A lot. An old relative of mine slumped and died in the 1960's...that's why I never met him. Nigeria's first indigenous inspector of police...the one whom the police HQ is named after in Abuja...died sitting down on his chair in front of his house...of a heart attack.


We have better awareness, and so on now of heart dieases, as a lot of better drugs. Of course, the westernization of our diet too is worsening matters, then many people have cars (in the past people walked or owned a bicycle....bicycle is good exercise reallly)....and too much processed food.

Also the internet is ubiqitous. Everyone is a news blogger...so if someone slumps in Kebbi...it is online in minutes...whereas in the good old days...it would take days to reach the newspaper and it would be buried in page 10...maybe page 30. Under the obits.

Poeple slumped back in the day...and died. It was just that back then one did not hear of it much.

Life expectancy is dropping faster than the value of the Naira.

There is something called Quality of Life (QoL) which has been dangerously decreasing among Nigerians in the last 8 to 10 years.

This depreciating Quality of Life is clearly proportionately linked to the decreasing ability of an average Nigerian to access:

Good food and meals
High quality healthcare
Peace of mind
Security
Amongst others...

Add these to the unending inflation we have witnessed in the last couple of years, and the reasons get clearer.

It's also poignant to mention that most Nigerians hardly exercise nor go for regular health checks.

Look deeply, not on the surface... follow the money.

There is a season for planting and there is a season for harvesting. When everything was sacrificed on the altar of profiteering one day even your water will be adulterated for profit making.

- How safe is the water you drink?
- How safe is the beans you bought from the market?
- How much pesticides are in the cassava that produced the huge wraps of Eba that you just demolished?
- How safe is that your chemist's ''original" panadol extra fresh from India?
- How safe is the bottle used to package that affordable drink that you love?
- How safe is your house and neighborhood? I passed a neighborhood recently and the odour oozing out of the drainage can kill!
- What of the broken sewage next door that the landlord refused to fix? You consume all.
- How safe is the air you breath when you pass that neighborhood where your rich town man manufactures his fake "Made in Sweden" plastic products?

All na business?

It's has always been happening. Just that we get to hear more about it these days by help of social media. You know someone can slump and die in a state and we'll know about it in another state with the help of social media.

I have fainted several times.

My first fainting was during my Boys Brigade days. I was still in primary. I didn't eat and went for parade on Sunday morning. I think the heat of sun combined with not eating contributed to it. I only saw myself being carried inside the church.

Another fainting experience was when I was sick, I tried to open the refrigerator to get water. Next thing I heard was Mom screaming Jesus.

Another was when I was seated while working on something on my laptop. There was a big amplifier at my back. Trying to adjust my position, my elbow hit the amplifier. I fainted and fell from the chair, woke up seconds later.


A near fainting experience happened when I attended Chapel of Redemption in University of Calabar. It was already filled, so I stood outside. I didn't eat before coming for the service. After some hours, I started feeling dizzy and felt my eyes closing. I quickly went and sat down on a walk pathway. After some minutes, I started sweating. I bought some snacks from a vendor, ate and went back to the hostel.

Most deaths from people who slumped has do with heart or blood pressure issues. Pouring water will not solve anything.

I believe the kind of food we eat this day ain't helping at all, everything is full of chemical. I think we need to change as human as the dengers are been cause by greedy people who want to make quick money.
