Are you still texting while driving your kids?.......................

Texting and driving is a growing trend all over the world....it has become a killer! Why do we still text and drive? Smartphones are assassins when you are behind the wheels.... A texting driver is 23 times more likely to get into a crash than a non-texting driver....
We live in a world where multitasking has become a norm. Did you know that the average text takes a drivers eyes off the road for nearly 5 Secs? 

 People feel constant pressure to remain in contact even while driving...why is this so? You may not be guilty of this act but have you taken out time to educate the professionals driving you or your kids to school? How safe are your kids in the hands of these drivers? Some kids take the school bus to and from school.....how careful are these drivers? Do the appropriate authorities from the school ensure that these drivers are properly trained on good manners when behind the wheels?

 Career men/women multitasking behind the wheels while taking their kids to school.....reading the dailies/documents, applying makeup, eating breakfast, adjusting their outfits, wearing their jewelries etc....Haba!! can't it wait...! 

 Are you that parent that constantly endangers the lives of your kids  through these nonchalant behavior?......Or the teen who is old enough to drive his siblings but never does that without reaching out for his smartphone?.......

 Oh thou smartphone!!!! a device that has caused a lot of people to lose their lives out of carelessness...is a major cause of road accidents..do not indulge!

 Remember your family needs you! kill the conversation and remain focused while you drive...Show these kids the right example,by staying focused on the road......

 Stop Texting! Stop the Wrecks!!!...........*winks*

 Living Healthy!....................

What do I need to know about Fura de nunu.........

Image
Fura de nunu is a local drink derived from fresh cow milk. It is popular in the northern part of Nigeria and a choice brand for most people.  I've seen quiet a couple of people enjoy this drink but the question is this..How safe is it drinking raw milk from he teats of dairy cows? Is it healthy eating local milk dishes such as fura de nunu which is popularly served in many parts of the country with herdsmen?  Let us not forget that fura de nunu  is made from unpasteurized milk. Is it healthy to indulge then? the answer is a clear NO! Let us take our minds through the entire milking process...During the milking of a cow, the animal sometimes gets irritated and then begins to use its legs to raise dust and dirt..,all these in one way or another find their way back into the bowl of milk. How about considering the fact that as cows graze the fields, they are likely to come in contact with some bacteria and fungi that cling to their body (the teats are not left out) and during m

Manual Handling.......Possible Cause of Backache?

Image
Growing up as a female child ,I was taught to sweep the house bending really low to the ground as I would always recall my mum's constant reminder on the need to sweep the house with the body of the broom and not the tip. A norm common in various homes not just mine..... Backache is a major health issue every where in the world. One third of all work related injuries back ache inclusive is caused by manual handling... Performing house chores and lifting heavy materials at work are one of the many ways through which we can experience these aches. Other ways include improper seating positions at work and sleeping on a rather too soft bed...This is particular important for the aged because as they advance in age ,they require a mattress that would provide all the support for their joints,back and overall body. A good example of such is the Orthopedic Mattress. In performing house chores,vacuum cleaners,long brooms or brushes can be used to avoid bending and twistin
