NIGERIA AT SIXTY OR SIXTEEN ��

I was just reminiscing some of the events that played out when we celebrated 40 years of Independence. Though l was young, but l can remember vividly some of the events and people's opinion on Nigeria at forty.
The one I will not forget in a hurry was the discussion of some persons around my area. l overheard some group of men discussing and one of them could not stop shouting "Nigeria a fool at forty is a fool forever"; he said that repeatedly that l had to ask myself, "is Nigeria a fool at forty"?
After many years as an independent entity, the euphoric joy of the 1960 events have seemingly exasperated into thin airs, establishing further the points of the man who believes that Nigeria is a fool at forty.

Fast forward to this present day, if a fool at forty is actually a fool forever, where do we place a fool at sixty.

NIGERIA AT SIXTY OR SIXTEEN, from all indications Nigeria does not have the characteristics or attributes of a man at sixty. Judging from "Maslow's hierarchy of need", a man at sixty should be at the "esteem need" level if not "self actualisation", but here we are still struggling with the basic needs(food, water air shelter and clothing) after sixty years of Independence. Perhaps we are doomed, to say the least.
Where do we start from to butress the fact that Nigeria is still a teenager at sixty. At sixty years of Independence we are still at the lowest point of basic human need, which we are not even sure of achieving in a dozen years ahead. If it is taking us about six decades to achieve the basic needs, how long will it take us to be self actualised? Your guess is as good as mine.
We often hear of change which our present government and politicians preach, what is change if we cannot change the state of our nation.

For donkey years, we've tried settling our scores on the drawing board; THE DRAWING BOARD IS FULL!!! I guess we'll try the laboratory this time around as specimens are not in short supply, following the ugly precedents occasioned by the deplorable state of the nation.
Change have been the mantra of the present government.
But what is this change all about!What are we changing? Who are we changing?
The question is for everyone though. Have we been able to effect change as an individual, in our families, in our offices, in the church, even in the market where we sell.

In other climes, the youth are " the leaders of tomorrow", but in a country like ours, "tomorrow" never comes - just like tales by moonlight, the tortoise will always be king for his trickery.

Our standard of education is far from convincing. There are no companies to employ the youth when they graduate, there is no loan available for those who wants to start up a business, how then do we raise great minds that will lead the country in future, NIGERIA AT SIXTY OR SIXTEEN.
"A healthy nation is often said to be a wealthy nation", Nigeria's health is quite below standard. Can Nigeria boast of up to five well equipped government hospitals that meet the international standard? The most painful aspect of it is that it keeps going from bad to worse, and when our politicians are sick, most times minor ailments, they travel out of the country for treatment, leaving the poor masses to die in those poorly equipped hospitals they built.
NIGERIA AT SIXTY OR SIXTEEN, a country that cannot boast of any sector that is functioning adequately; we have different security agencies but we are not secured, the roads are death traps to commuters, salaries and pensions are not paid promptly, epileptic power supply, insecurity at its echelon, brutal killings, other basic amenities are not available, the value of naria keeps dropping and instead of finding a way to boost it we are borrowing from other countries.
Which way Nigeria, what is the way forward, Nigeria at sixty is shadow of what it should be, we can go on and on with the list of what a country at sixty should have achieved, but it is not really about the long list, but what can be done to change the "status quo".

It's about time we take the bull by the horn. So many things are going awry.
Corruption is at its peak. Poverty is virtually legalized.
And in all frankness, that has always been our bane.
How can a hungry man reason properly.
It seems the game is to make the citizenry as hungry as possible, as such "stomach infrastructure" becomes a valid electioneering manifesto. And ones that area is satisfied, reasoning from the stomach becomes inevitable.


Our shortcomings at 60 are so numerous, but for being alive amidst all these turmoils, we ought to be grateful to our maker.


I would have loved to wish us a happy celebration, but that would sound hypocritical, because we've got little or nothing to be happy for.

The default mode has since failed, it's now time to restore to factory setting.

Happy new month friends!

If you love someone, even if they blackmail her with nude pix, it will not matter because she told you the truth from the onset.

You can achieve that by avoiding girls who come to you for friendship.

RAPE�

In recent times there have been several cases of rape in Nigeria and despite the increasing number of cases, we are yet to see any of the culprit punished or arrested, and this is a country with various security agencies.
I believe for sure that when one is not punished for an offence committed, there is tendency that theoffence will be committed again. Until we see those involved in this rape cases punished, arrested or even jailed for life, then we can say that our security agencies are doing something about it.

DEFINITION
Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual penetration carried out by physical force, coercion, or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent such as ; one who is unconscious, incapacitated, has an intellectual disability or is below the legal age of consent.

MOTIVES
The world health organization states that the principal factors that lead to the perpetration of sexual violence including rape are
- people's belief
- Attitude of male sexual entitlement.
- weak legal sanctions.
*Other* *factors* *includes*;
- Anger
- power
- sadism

EFFECT OF RAPE
- Gynecological disorders
- sexual disorders
- Reproductive disorders
- unwanted pregnancy
- psychosomatic disorders
- Depression
- increased risk of suicide.
- sexually transmitted diseases
- post traumatic stress disorders
- mortality from injuries.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
- physical examination including the genital tract/private part.
- Test to check for sexual transmitted infections.
- Treatment of minor injuries or brusies if present.
- post exposure prophylaxis ( this means giving the victim some retoviral/HIV drugs to help prevent HIV in case the rapist has the virus.)
- other medications to treat infection, reduce anxiety and to reduce pain
- The victim may need to be admitted in the hospital for close observation.

PREVENTION
- Health educate your children on sex education and other related information.
- Encourage them to speak up when they don't feel comfortable about the way an individual relates to them.
- Monitor your children closely and do not allow them visit friends and relatives you don't know very well.
- Caution them on how to relate with the domestic staff in the house.
- Above all pray for your children, both the younger ones and the older ones.

CONCLUSION
People who have been raped can be traumatized and may develop post traumatic stress disorder, serious injuries can result along with the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
Is not enough to carry placard With " say no to rape" written on it, if we cannot fish out the rapist from our communities, if the human rights activists do not follow up these rape cases, if the government is not doing anything to curb this menace, then the situation will continue and may even get worst.so let's start now to do something before is too late.

Congratulations

So out of all the rape cases l have been hearing, no only this number of persons they catch��

On top this small scar you dey worry your self, if dey come amputate the leg nah wetin you go do, commit sucide? Take a lead from " kech" the lady that survived the sosolilo plane crash, with all the scars is still a star.

Is it only the doctors that are at risk, what of the nurses, what of the cleaners, if l was among the nursing officials in the state, l will depend same for the nurses.Because if the doctors have 50% chance of contracting covid 19 the nurses has up to 80% chance.

If you believe that this man was ever inside a prison, you will believe me l tell you my father gave birth to me and not my mum. Nonsense and ingredients.

I don't know while some persons find it difficult to take care of other people's children.

HOW TO CONCIEVE A BOY

Some couples are almost desperate to concieve a baby of one particular gender. Fathers especially can be eager to have a boy,but there are also mothers who long for a son.
Just remember that there are no guarantees and the odds of conceiving a boy or a girl are almost exactly the same for each and every pregnancy.

TOP TlPS FOR CONCEIVING A BOY

- TlME OF SEX: The timing of when a couple has sex is thought to actually make a difference in helping to concieve a boy. According to "Dr shettles" you should time to have sex 12hours before you ovulate.
- BEST POSITION: Deep penetrative sex is preferable, this helps to deposit the semen and sperm closet to the woman's cervix.
- lF A WOMAN REACHES ORGASM:
Preferably before the man does, this boost the alkaline properties of the vagina which support the sperm to do their work. Orgasm also causes uterine and vagina contractions which help to push the sperm upwards to where they need to go.
- HAVE AN ENERGY DRINK: caffeine may help to give the y- laden sperm an additional boost. An energy drink, cup of coffee or even some chocolate before having sex won't do any harm.
- TRADE TIGHT UNDIES FOR BOXER SHORTS: Suggest your partner change his underpants if he's into the tighter briefs. Boxer shorts don't hug the testicles close to the body and cause them to overheat. This can reduce the number of sperm that are produced and in turn reduce the likelihood of conceiving a boy.

IMPORTANT FACTS
- Men influences the gender of the baby not women. Men provide the sperm which either has an "x" ( girl) or 'y' ( boy) sex- linked chromosome.
- Herbal and complementary medicine remedies do not impact on the likelihood of having a girl or a boy.
- There is no sure- fire guarantee of having a baby of a particular gender. Hoping and trying for a boy or a girl is just what you can do.
- some families seems to produce more children of a specific sex, for instance if a man has more brothers, he is more likely to have a son.
CONCLUSION
The timing of when a couple has sex is thought to actually make a difference in helping to concieve a boy. It is one of the strategies suggested in the " shettle method" which claim that the chances of having a boy are boosted when conception occurs as close to ovulation as possible ofcourse this all depends on the willingness of a couple to track the woman's ovulation and be available to each other during those crucial fertile hours.

CHINA AND NIGERIA BUSINESS
With the outbreak of Corona virus, many Nigerian business men who depended solely on China for their goods and services have been left to wait and watch for what seems to be a "wishful watch".
Before the advent of China goods, Nigerians have been producing most of their goods, although a bit more expensive than that of their Chinese counterparts, but almost same in quality.
Because an average Nigerian live below "one dollar per day" we had to settle for the China products because they are pocket friendly.
What do we do now with the increasing spread of Corona virus and its increasing mortality and morbity, do we fold our hands and wait without doing anything to help ourselves.
Most persons will say we actually don't need China products to survive but most of the products we use in Nigeria ranging from food, drugs, clothes, shoes, household appliances, plates and cutlery other articles like umbrellas and plastics and even toothpicks are all imported from China. So you see, it will affect you in one way or another other.
Nigerian government have not yet provided an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the country, with the non availability of business loan, insecurity, unnecessary taxes, lack of basic amenities etc. A country with the above problems cannot be successful in terms of business.
It's about time we go back to the drawing board, let's fix our country, let the government support its citizens especially those involved in " Small and Medium scale Enterprise - encourage others who have mega businesses by making loans available and providing other basic amnities that will help us to be great again. As individuals, let us also do our bit. If the citizens are law abiding, not involving in killing, arm robbery or kidnapping we will have a lot of investors who can partner with Nigerians to establish mega companies here. Let the change begin with you, together we can take Nigeria to its formal glory where we can rightfully claim that we are indeed the giant of Africa.

You have to start by changing your name from " child of doom" to child of Grace. For the fact you accepted within yourself that you have a problem, then it can be solved. You need to use a day to calculate all the money you have spent on betting and visualize a better thing you could have done with the money.
For masturbation avoid situations that leads to it e g stop watching porn.
For pepsil since you take 3 bottles a day start by taking one bottle for some days, then do one bottle alternate day, once a week until you can finally stop it.
I hope this will help.
