Old timers on my wall already know this.

Schools would be resuming shortly.
So let's talk about school bags.
I have written about it severally but it bears repeating.

Too many children are having issues with backache and bad posture.
And parents and caregivers are to blame.

Have you ever taken a good look at your child's school bag when loaded with books?

Sadly.
Too many children are carrying school bags that are just too heavy.

You should know this.
A child should not carry a school bag that weighs more than 10% of his body weight.

Yes ..I know Mathematics is tough so let's step it down.
If you child weighs 20kg....10% of this is 2kg.

Therefore.
His school bag when fully loaded with his books should not weigh more than 2kg.

Class dismiss.

Dancing Azonto with Mama Yard.

According to Mama Yard
Increased intake of palmoil
Especially in children causes malaria.

Well...
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium spp.
They are spread to people
Through the bites of infected
Female Anopheles mosquitoes.

While red palm oil
contains monounsaturated
And polyunsaturated fats
which are known to be beneficial to health.

Additionally
Red palm oil is a rich source
Of beta-carotene which gets
Converted into vitamin A in the body.
Vitamin A helps strengthen
The immune system and improve vision.

So if you still link
Intake of RED PALM oil
With MALARIA.....

Just do the needful
Join Mama Yard
In the Azonto dance
Or would you rather dance Skelewe?
Or even the Ghanaian 'One Corner'?

You are not MAD!

More people are getting stressed.
More people are getting depressed.
It is even worse with adolescents and young adults.

Seeking to see
a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist
does not mean you are mad.

It simply shows you are sane enough
to seek and get help.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Your certificate is READY!

Often.
Nollywood films show people acquiring money through rituals.
And society aptly refers to it as "blood money".

So many people in real life belong to this club.
But are yet to collect their membership certificate.

Or how else would you describe someone who ripens fruits with Carbide?

You see.
In the natural way.
Most fruits produce a gaseous compound called ethylene that starts the ripening process.
But then those people who are yet to collect their membership certificates use Carbide.

Calcium carbide.
Produces acetylene, which is an analogue of ethylene.
And this also ripens fruits.
But
Carbide is often contaiminated with Arsenic and phosphorus which are toxic.

And how would you know a fruit is artificially ripened?

The colour looks great but taste is poor.
If not washed you could see powdery substances on it.
The fruit rots quite fast.

And if after taking fruits.
You soon experience.
Vomit.
Frequent stooling.
Weakness.
Difficult in swallowing.
Intense thirst.
Headache.
Dizziness.

You just may need a medical evaluation.
And for the fruit seller
Congratulations....
Your certificate is ready for collection!

Lately.

Nearly 60% of toddlers I see are fair.

That's beyond natural selection or occurrence.

Looks more like the colour is bought.

The black and beautiful or handsome toddler is disappearing.

Well.

Long ago...Fela.

The original ebami eda sang.

"Na your money go do am for you

You go yellow pass yellow"

Truly it's your money.

It's your choice.

You were given Melanin.

By the creator

because He placed you around the equator.

He knows the sun is hottest here

and melanin offers protection

against harmful rays from the sun.

But then .....

Buy your own colour but leave your child with his original black.
