HEALTH IS WEALTH O!!!

Here's the scenario

Its funny how people drink too much, eat too much of the wrong stuff, worry too much ( in the name of "hustling" or...."relationships")and they freak out when they have  a terminal disease like high blood pressure or cancer (I can just see people mentally  snapping fingers over their heads in the famous "Godforbid" gesture).
But it's the truth.
Everybody knows somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody that either died from or is afflicted by an "old peoples' disease"
It ain't fiction.Its a fact. People in their early 30s and late 20s are being diagnosed everyday with high blood pressure, diabetes etc.
Every year, people eat foods with enough grease to run a small factory, some consume enough alcohol to drown in (literally).

And who do they blame when that dreaded test result comes back from the doctor????The devil, the governmet,Bad hospitals, NEPA, and those mysterious people from our Villages who have nothing better to do than  visit native doctors on our behalf.
My dear friends, these illnesses are real and they are out there.
Please, exercise (even if means going for a short walk everyday)

eat right, quit smoking,

drink a lot of water ....and try going for a medical checkup now and then.

Here's another scenario,

You recently had a full medical test.Now you're sitting  across from the Doctor  in silence as he reads through your blood test results.His expression is  blank and unreadable.
You have no idea what the results are.A trillion scenarios run through your head like snap shots from a camera. You start a mental checklist of all the high risk activities you've been involved in(and the people you did them with).



Scary huh?

Truth is scary by nature and thats why most people avoid it.
I know people that have never gone for any form of medical checkup in the past 5 years.
And what do they do when they're sick?  They go the pharmacy and say,"I think I have malaria!"
For most diseases the best form of defence is early detection. But most people don't want to hear that.They say "Ignorance is bliss!" Well, so is unprotected sex, until it kills you!
"Wetin you no know no fit kill u!"
Tell you what, if you don't believe in the law of gravity or you're unaware of its existence, find the tallest building in your city and jump off it.You're allowed to scream "NO GRAVITY,"allllll the way down.
Why do people gamble with their lives? Why do we dread that trip to the doctor's office so much?

Don't get me wrong, hospitals are scary.But so is
HIV, CANCER, LIVER DISEASE AND EBOLA.
Some guy yesterday was telling me how  he has never gone for HIV screening in his life.That he doesn't believe in modern medicine, that  what he believes is what works for him.
"Opus leave dis Ebola talk abeg", he said as he "downed" a third bottle of stout.
"God no go gree bad tin do me, am a christian", he said as he lustfully eyed a girl walking by.

My friends and I have a funny saying that goes;
"Dem no dey use 'I-BELIEVE-IN-GOD' drink hot water o!"

Listen I believe in the power of Faith but that doesn't mean you should test it by not taking care of yourself!

Like I said earlier, we live in an age when young people are dying everyday from what we used to call "old people's diseases".
That's the harsh truth.
Recently, a very dear friend of mine died of a heart attack .He was just 34years old.
Please go for medical checkups as regularly as possible .Not just for your sake, but for the lives of those around you..Above all else I wish everyone good health.


Life is a choice my friends.
So choose wisely.
Enough said.
