Greetings to you all. You may have been wandering while I have not posted on my blog for some time now. My apologies. The truth is that there is so much going on on my mind right now and confusion seams to be setting in. Much has been preached, much has been said, much has been written, much has been practiced on the topics - Health and Fitness, Exercise and related subjects. The arsenal appears to be running dry. I have realized that the hydra headed problems bedeviling the community of people is posing serious threat to human existence. Talking to a deaf and dumb without applying the right approach will always hit a brick wall. The reasons why people are showing less interest in the subject exercise and health and fitness may not be far fetched. You may be wandering why cases of sudden death and stroke is now becoming a common occurrence in the society. Let us take a closer look at the issues below and you tell me why sudden death and stroke should not be. Tell me also why the people should not be less concerned with the issue of exercise and fitness.
UNEMPLOYMENT.
This is a very serious problem and it is a big contributing factor to the unacceptable situation the populace has found itself. Hunger is biting the people hard. A hungry man, remember is an angry man; expecting a hungry man to engage in exercise in order to keep fit is a pipe dream. Make no mistake, those who are well fed amongst the people are in minority, but the preaching on health and fitness and exercise is directed to all. Not much is being done by those concerned to keep the people engaged. Even where jobs are available they are given either the highest bidders or to those whose ogas are at the top.
UNCERTAINTIES.
This is an offshoot of unemployment.The unemployed is not certain of what becomes of him in the nearest future, not with so many mouths to feed, so many children in schools asking for school fees, not with so many extended family members coming forward with myriad of problems requiring solution, etc. These issues run riot in the man's mind making it difficult for him to reason well.
UNFOCUSSED LEADERSHIP.
In most cases, the political leadership in place leaves much to be desired. Most of those in positions of leadership have no business being there as they are there to meet there selfish ends and not for the welfare of those who voted them into leadership positions. Tell me why they should resort to political thuggery, ballot box snatching and stuffing, results manipulation, killing of political opponents etc, if they were going there for genuine and God given reasons.
Other problems agitating the minds of the people includes but not limited to the following: Armed Robbery, Kidnapping, Terrorism, Stress,etc. All these are posing serious challenges to the people's health and fitness. Telling such people to go out and exercise is like attempting to kill a dead horse.
An attempt to cut a fallen tree which has another fallen tree on its top can only be successful when the tree on its top is first cut. All these problems listed above require urgent attention in other to improve on the health and fitness of the people.
