Now to the SOCIAL component
The mass media is awash with adverts displaying slim women in bikini smiling and enjoying life. There are beauty pageants held world over with emphasis on slim people. Everywhere you go, obese people are relegated in the social scene. They are seen as outcasts and unhealthy people.
The obese people thus feel stigmatized and suffer all complications that result from it. So they lose job opportunities and friends and are called all manner of unprintable names.

Thanks Zeiya.
The next component is the PSCHOLOGICAL component.
1. Low self esteem: obese people often feel inferior to others. They feel they are not attractive. They think people don't want to associate with them. They may not exude confidence in their interaction with others and are thus prone to manipulation and pressure.
2. Depression : when there is a continuous feeling of low self esteem, there is a feeling of worthlessness and hopelessness. Thus depression sets in especially with ladies or women.
3. Suicide : when depression continues for a long time an obese person may begin to have suicidal ideas. And if unchecked can lead to bodily harm or eventual suicide.

Obesity is on the rise in Africa. It is commonly associated with affluence in Nigeria. Obesity is a serious health concern as it affects an individual's BIO PSYCHO SOCIAL profile.
I want to elucidate the BIOLOGICAL component today i.e how obesity affects health.
It predisposes to
1. Diabetes Mellitus (type 2)
2. Systemic Hypertension
3. Some cancers e.g breast cancer and colon cancer
4. Gallstones
5. OsteoArthritis
6. Stroke.

Looking forward to a time when Nigeria will have bullet trains

DINO MELAYE is one of the problems we have in the Senate. Always causing trouble

That's interesting ride

Thanks guys. I really appreciate. I was actually looking at any area not more than 30 minutes drive from Jericho. These areas seems very ok

I will be needing a 3 bedroom flat in Ibadan. Just curious to know which areas have fairly good power supply I.e 12 or more hours/day.Serious answers please.

You cannot dictate to humans how to live their lives . I have been on nairaland for years and I have never for once visited some sections like food and fashion. You can create a thread on the dangers of gambling if you do not like it, but forcing people not to air their opinions on a legal entity is not only discriminatory but also a denial of fundamental human right... Right to expression.

Thanks Lagusta. Hope the Ramadan fast is going smoothly. Long time indeed.

I trained in UITH and I never heard it being done there at that time. I know it could only be done in teaching hospitals or few hi tech labs but I don't know any that does. So, I just need a specific place and an estimate of the cost there.

Juxtified:
There are labs all over Nigeria that do it. Some go for about N85,000 for routine tests and as high as N150,000 when the court is involved (legal cases)

thanks. i'll appreciate if you could be more location specific.

Thanks for the info. Would appreciate other inputs

Where can DNA paternity test be done in Nigeria and how much is it ?

Reasons why sincere Christians should take the book known as the bible to church not a smartphone


1) Holding a bible shows one to be a Christian in public,it acts as an 'identity card' for every Christian. Ipads,smartphones does no such thing

2)Civilisation/technology has given us world where homosexuality is gradually being accepted,female reverends and gender changes all in contrast to biblical pronouncements. The church shouldn't follow the ways of this present world so closely

3)Christians lose the essence of the bible like the order of biblical books(after genesis is exodus.....3rd John then revelations) as a simple google search provides answer in comparison to scrolling round the bible and get fully acquitted with it

4) Ipads,smartphone substitutes acts as sources of distraction in churches with calls,pings,alerts and 'nairalanding' available at one's beck/call.

5) Ipads,smartphones serve one primary aim to most holders,showoff

6) 'battery low'

In response to your 6 points
1. Holding a bible in public is not your 'identity card' as a christian. Your identity card as a christian is your 'christ like' life.
2. Your 2nd point has no bearing to the topic. Would you rather be uncivilised? Your use of nairaland is a testament to beauty of technology.
3. Why are you sounding like someone that would use grinding stone instead of a blender.
4. There are features on each pad or tablet that can prevent such distracting features.
5. If using a tab/ I pad is a show off, then maybe you're broke.
6. There is a port for charging on every tab/i pad and it comes with a charger.
My point, don't get stuck in your archaic reasoning.

Flets:
And all of a sudden

It doesn't matter that someone condemned the attack of the military on Bokoharam

It doesn't matter that someone described an attack on Bokoharam as an attack on the north

It doesn't matter that someone urged muslims to vote only muslims in a secullar country like Nigeria

It doesn't matter that someone committed to the spread of sharia across the country (the feasibility is a diff topic)

It doesn't matter that someone instigated the death of over 1000 Nigerians just because he lost an election in 2011

It doesn't matter that someone enacted retroactive laws to deal with a select set of people

It doesn't matter anymore that someone ended democracy with the barrel of a gun to assume office

Does it really not matter anymore..... Time shall tell.

We might have just killed morality and damned our sensibilities to the HOPE of a better Nigeria.

And please don't tell me he is my president for the next 4 or 8 Years cos I know that already and that is not the thrust of my thought process.

In sane societies, these would matter. Even if he wins such elections, he would be approached with so much consciousness and carefulness but not with all open arms because the words of a man defines a man and people hardly change.

Just before you scream Sai Baba..... Something must be wrong with the black race.

And your points exactly? Would you rather continue with 4 years under Jonathan's administration? If yes, then there is something wrong with the black race. Change is here.

I have heard these arguments over and over again but its just a simple answer. Doctors were trained to work in the hospital and during NYSC they work in the hospital thus they are being paid as a professional with expert service. On the other hand, you went to university to become an engineer but instead of working in an engineering firm, you are teaching mathematics and physics in a classroom. Also, don't be myopic because of NYSC. Love your work and find fulfilment in it. May God crown our efforts.

Please is there anyone with any update on this recruitment

Kindly send to oyewoleabiodunemmanuel@yahoo.com

eyeview: In other civilized parts of the world,the Laboratory scientists are the ones that ought to culture this virus and then forward their observations to the pharmacists who will dig deep to develop a vaccine for it. Doctors are just to administer it.
So they shouldn't call out the doctors if this other two haven't done their parts yet. Crises have emerged and they are calling on the doctors,but pay wise,the
y want the doctors salary!

I honestly don't get you. Who orders for a laboratory investigation in 'civilized parts of the world'. So a pharmacist can now order for viral culture ? So Pharmacists are now to report and interprete laboratory findings. You are not well informed. By the way, that 'doctors are just to administer it' shows that you don't have any idea of how a 'civilized' health sector operates.

23 years. medical doctor.

born_to_be_gr8t: Ur facts has no empirical thesis , it's legally untenable , and it's devoid of concurable evidence to instigate magnanimous sagacity in astronomical capacity of an uneven dynamic world of the male physiognomy




In a lay man's word...i mean MERRY CHRISTMAS TO Y'ALL

haha.funny u

So did u finally go by rail. I'm also an alumni of uith and u know me...lol

Your post is interesting and enlightening. One of the best pieces I ever read on nairaland. Keep it up.

Hello corpers serving in Ede,Osun state. Add me on 33048AC8. Let's gist. I'm one of the camp doctors. Also, If you have any complaint about your health you can ping me .

PwC is a very good place to work and they encourage career development. My immediate elder brother works there and he did not know anybody there when he applied. All the best. Just want it BADLY and let the panelists see that you mean business during interviews.

Well , in my own opinion, the bra is going to be worn by humans not goats or camels. Luxury was made to be used by man. How about those buying private jet,yacht,etc. If you have money, enjoy it. Also, these precious gems,rubies and the likes appreciates in value over time so it is a good investment for the owner. It could also go off at auction price in the future. Please think Big.

It is kinda funny. You see a man and his wife in a picture. You see beautiful kids. And you conclude that he is responsible and happily married. I'm not hating, in fact I love it but stop painting one in the light of a saint because of these.

prettyjo: so happy am +1 today.wishing myself and all july born success in all their endeavours especially the "LEOS"(if u knw wat i mean).

Happy birthday. Cheers
