Nigeria is yet to recover FULLY from the Great Recession of 2008. While many continue to look at the stock market for signs, the sign that matters is evident – we are losing a generation of young people on acute sustained unemployment. Yes, ‘Youth unemployment and underemployment was 55.4% in third quarter of 2018, leaving more than half of the country’s largely youthful population idle most of the time.’ Look at the trajectory of the proportion of full-time youth employment – not a good pattern!

The proportion of Nigerians younger than 35 in full-time jobs has dropped consistently since 2014, according to data from the nation’s statistics agency. Youth unemployment and under-employment was 55.4% in third quarter of 2018, leaving more than half of the country’s largely youthful population idle most of the time. Finding a job in Africa’s biggest oil producer is getting tough for everyone, with the average unemployment rate rising to 23.1% last year from 5.1% in 2010 as a sluggish economy fails to keep up with a fast-growing population

As Emir of Kano noted, one does not need a seer to model the future implications for the nation. I have called this the gray lizard.

In America, they talk of black swans: ” high-impact risks that are highly improbable and therefore almost impossible to predict”. Yes, “an unpredictable or unforeseen event, typically one with extreme consequences.” That is it: “something extremely rare”. So, because it is rare, you do not (usually) plan for it. Arab Spring was a black swan as the leaders of North Africa could not have modeled that risk.

In Nigeria, we do not just have black swan. We have gray lizard. It is a high impact risk, that is highly probable and evidently visible but totally, widely and irresponsibly ignored. The massive youth unemployment in Nigeria is a gray lizard. Governments see it daily but it is totally ignored.

Going forward, I will make my platforms available to share jobs – all jobs will be archived here. If you are looking for jobs, FOLLOW me, and if you have, please InMail or share with my team on click. Let us see how to help these young people.

My case remains: the Nigerian government must stimulate the economy through extended and massive injection of loan guarantees to help small businesses grow to absorb these young people.

As at 1937, exercising was seen as voodoo science on improving human health. When people reported to some doctors that they felt better after exercising, most doctors discounted the impacts. Also, just about 15 years ago, some people that ate exclusively organic food (no chemicals used in growing the food), in America, were seen as weird people. Today, those elements are now the mainstream: exercising is saving lives and eating organic is a pursuit for many as it is now a luxury. Never be afraid to push for change. Since Ancient Egypt, ordinary people have changed empires.

There is a growing body of evidence that shows some potential health benefits of organic foods when compared with conventionally grown foods. While these studies have shown differences in the food, there is limited information to draw conclusions about how these differences translate into overall health benefits. Potential benefits include the following:

• Nutrients. Studies have shown small to moderate increases in some nutrients in organic produce. The best evidence of a significant increase is in certain types of flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties.

• Omega-3 fatty acids. The feeding requirements for organic livestock farming, such as the primary use of grass and alfalfa for cattle, result in generally higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a kind of fat that is more heart healthy than other fats. These higher omega-3 fatty acids are found in organic meats, dairy and eggs.

COMMENT: That’s not true. Standing armies have had physical fitness regimes for centuries.

MY RESPONSE: Armies had fitness to fight, not necessarily to live well. The correlation of exercise to wellbeing while not new science was NOT universally accepted until about 80 years ago. The fact remains that exercise was not prescribed en mass until recently to manage diseases like diabetes, etc. “However, exercise was not prescribed for the noncureable form of diabetes known as mahu-meha (12).

As noted above, Susruta was of the opinion that participation in excessive exercise, interpreted to mean strenuous or heavy physical activity, would cause multiple diseases and potentially lead to death (46). Consequently, he discouraged patients from active participation” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4056176/

Unlike now where it is universally accepted, exercise was not the norm until recently. Some used it but many did not. Doctors here with knowledge of medical history on exercise can add
