Nobody will attack you because we all know that pot belly is generally bad for everyone.

A waist circumference above 102cm in adult males and 88cm in adult females increases significantly the risk of developing a cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)


Key facts
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally.

- An estimated 19.8 million people died from CVDs in 2022, representing approximately 32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke.

- Over three quarters of CVD deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries.

- Out of the 18 million premature deaths (under the age of 70) due to noncommunicable diseases in 2021, at least 38% were caused by CVDs.

- Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by addressing behavioural and environmental risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet (including excess salt, sugar, and fats) and obesity, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol and air pollution.

- It is important to detect cardiovascular disease as early as possible so that management with counselling and medicines can begin.

Culled from WHO

I guess this makes it no 38

I do hope that Obi will stay away from this man. I don't trust him at all

Anger of God indeed

I believe now, without a shred of doubt, that there are paid actors on this platform

He is overly polite. Shocking

Ozempic anyone

But Israel struck back...As humbling as this is to Trump which I imagine is the intended goal, I am deeply worried about us....the little runts who will suffer because the big dogs are having a major spat.

Ebenezer2021:
let's talk via email please

Sure

True. Same applies to me

You should have attended the burial

Well done

brownwindow:
War what is it good for absolutely nothing, hmmmn yeah!












When Russia Ukraine started, we all pretended as if 'E no concern me'












Now directly or indirectly Trump is showing everybody Shege promax!












It is well!

This. I pay more attention to international politics because it has the real and present ability to significantly affect my life and that of my loved ones.

Before now, America was considered as the voice of reason. A god if you will amongst men that everyone respects and listens to. Not anymore. The UN is no more, WHO and other orgs are no more.

Everyone is devouring each other and if we think that we wouldn't be next in line, WAKE UP!

Well done. This will sanitize that sector

Kenneth Okonkwo is hilarious....Long red cap synonymous with evil

Goes to tell you the mind bending experiments that must have been conducted discretely in Africa. I bet this was first tested somewhere in an LMIC before being declared sace for Americans

Who else feels the world is ending

Enf of an era. Whoever pays the piper dictates its tune

Mathewrichard99:
Very terrible indeed. Wondering the big deal in that estate. Imagine an estate with open gutter or drainage.....why is it that Nigeria drainages don't get covered. That's not even the important thing sef, 99% of those people that built those houses stole Nigeria money to build them. That's the absolute truth and I can swear to that.....after stealing our money to build comfort for their family, we would still go there and be admiring what they used our stolen common wealth to acquire......shame....

A big shame really. Our mindset is truly warped

The things we prioritize in this country. Terrible

This is just incredulous

Very shameful. I honestly don't know where we are headed

I don’t think that Teck bros and sis are responsible for this situation. If LASUTH wants a solution for this, it’s readily available in the market but most public institutions are so backward that even if given them for free, they’ll prefer manual. Same applies to State of Origin certificate. If your state wants to automate it, it’s very simple but they must take responsibility for identifying their citizens.

I totally agree with this as well. It can be terribly frustrating

Reverseng:
‎I was at LASUTH to see a doctor. The registration took 1hr +. Nurses on uniforms suddenly became bus conductors shouting patients names at the top of their voice one after the other. We were more than 50 seated at that registration point. It is close to a new building at LASUTH. Sustainable xxxx...I can't really remember the building name, but that experience left me feeling disappointed in our 'Tech gurus'
‎
‎At the moment, i need a state of origin certificate to apply for Access bank graduate trainee program currently running.
‎
‎Guess what?
‎I was told to GO TO THE PHYSICAL OFFICE AT VICTORIA ISLAND, to get it, or to go to an office in my village in the southeast to get it. I'm in Lagos typing this.
‎
‎I really hope Access bank HR and other related bodies are reading this, because I might have to decline applying for their Graduate Traineeship. And trust me, I'm smart enough for them to want me to choose them.
‎
‎Parents are working 9-5 jobs, while their children are even more hardworking than their parents, working 7:45am -5pm schools.
‎In a school in Ekiti state, each senior secondary student offer 13 -16 subjects. This is not hearsay. Trust me. I served as a corper in one of the schools. And after school closes by 3:30pm, they're told to wait for a compulsory extra lesson while lasts till 5pm. And it's not a free lesson. It's paid for by their parents. Imagine parents paying for their children suffering. Truly, the love of parents triumphs.
‎
‎So children spend Monday - Fridays (7:45am - 5pm) in schools learning 13 subjects, and on Saturdays, they're probably completing their notes or doing 13 different assignments, and then on Sundays, they go to church, rest for some hours and resume school on Monday. And one would expect success independent of theoretical speechification from these children.

‎JSS1 - 3 = 3yrs
‎SS1- 3= 3 yrs
‎That's 6yrs on average

6 years of depression, bought and paid for by parents for their children. And I haven't even included the stress from university lecturers who were forced to study a particular course by their parents or society, and after realizing the disappointment of not following their dreams, become sadists, amongst others, who aim to frustrate students with their chants of  "A is for me, B is for your HOD, C are for my loyal students. You can distribute the failures generously amongst yourself"

So you see. It's a snake that eats its own tail.
The university lecturers were once children. The tech Bros and Girls too were once children. But now, each and everyone is either focused on milking these children, who they once were, or ignoring them completely, with silly comments like "school made me tough, if not, I would not be who I am today"

No. Being who you are made you come as a child to suffer in the Nigeria education system so you can be sensitized, through suffering, to create a platform to reduce the suffering of others when the time comes.

What happened to using technology to alleviate the suffering of children through the introduction of a passion+brain-friendly scheme, across all levels, from Primary to University.

1) Mondays- Wednesday = Classroom

2) Thursdays- Fridays= Online lectures

3) The presence of equipped and numbered guidance counselors whose job is to study a child and try understand where their passion lies, so that their education will be tailored to what they find joy doing. A hairdresser has no primary business learning geography, neither does a DJ have any primary business learning 'almighty formula'

This tailored form of leaning reduces the number of subjects that students are exposed to and secondly, it reduces the 7:45am - 5pm jobs that students work in schools. Now schools can comfortably close by 12-1 pm, even on Mondays because of the reduced work load of the students.
And mind you, when this efficiency has been created in learning, the free time of children should not be filled with more schoolwork/assignments because of a pathetic saying that "an idle mind is the devil's workshop"

6) A course in AI/ prompt engineering to enable students appreciate the fact that suffering isn't hardwork when they're able to swiftly generate an AI picture with precise prompt engineering, compared to a conventional graphics designer that spends decades on it.

7) Ban the physical submission of notes or handouts, especially for marks.

Also ban lecturers from physically selling handouts to students. A lecturer with an Innovative solution, be it in paperback, should copyright or patent it and lease it to students through the school education authority who thoroughly screens and approves it for sale at a very subsidized fee to students in ebook format. The sheer volume of students demands in campuses around Nigeria should compensate for the price reduction. There should be a digital right management thoroughly applied to the ebook to disable copying and mass production.
These amongst other solutions

To wrap this post up, Nigeria has become a nation where suffering is being seen as hardwork. We've become so used to seeing as "suffering= good person/hardworking" and "not suffering= bad person/lazy"
But suffering is not hardwork. The morality of continued hardwork is the morality of slaves. I've written about this here on nairaland.
Do find time to look it up, at your convenience of course.

I'm open to hearing your suggestions on how schools can be efficient, especially in Nigeria so that the coming generations don't go through the suffering we passed through while in school

Very well said particularly now that AI is here to improve workflow

Unnecessary pressure that makes young men do the unthinkable.

Go to the nearest cloth store, clean up and change into new outfits

True

Quelme:
The coke sniffing midget will be thought a generation lesson. Don't mess with the Bear.

The UK when carry the matter for head before, don drop sanctions when hand meet them.

Aren't they both midgets?

Wonderful. Unbelievable at best

How can we support the burial arrangements?

JuanDeDios:
Lol. If I hear of anything, you'd be the first to know.

Will do

JuanDeDios:
If you're 50, try opening the Stanbic Elder Account. No charges at all. All others, I can't say.

Many thanks for this info. Any suggestions for those under 50
