Vocational Skills Acquisition, a panacea for growth and development- Com.Osikomaiya




Comrade Osikomaiya Victor, an online influencer, a political agitator and a graduate of Lagos State University,Ojo who hails from Lagos State in a short interview has expressed his dismay over the establishments of more academic institutions without hope for her products. He said skills and vocational trainings is what is needed now. He cited examples of countries like Norway, Finland,China etc (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/09/these-are-the-ten-best-countries-for-skill-and-education) who are successful today because they went into practical approach to solving their economic and societal problems.

We need to look into this aspect so that we can curb crime rate, over dependence on jobs coming from the government and also to raise our export in other to improve our country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Human Capital Development (HDI).

We consume alot here in Africa. Government and private sectors need to wake up and make this to be part of our academic curriculum right from Junior Schools.

Private organisations, religious bodies must come together to make this a culture. Investment in immoral and unprofitable shows should be channelled into what's more profitable.

He also urged youth and young ones to embrace vocational training and skill acquisition programmes.

Lastly, he added that he will be launching a Personal Social Responsibility "INITIATIVE" by next year which will cut across empowerment, health and environmental sensitisation programmes, skills acquisition and many more by God's grace.

Here are three reasons to keep aluminum foil out of your kitchen, and some healthier alternatives to use instead. 1. Aluminum foil is a neurotoxin Aluminum has long been scrutinized by the scientific community for its potential role as a neurotoxin. Researchers maintain that, due to the fact that aluminum has no physiological role in the human body, it has the potential to cause significant detrimental effects when consumed. This theory was unequivocally proven when a  2014 study  showed that a 66-year-old man who died with Alzheimer’s disease had significantly elevated aluminum content in his brain, following eight years of occupational exposure. While the study noted that it was the respiratory system that was exposed to aluminum dust, we now know that there is a direct link between aluminum ingestion and  Alzheimer’s disease , a debilitating neurological disorder.

Effect of Excessive Talking

Can too much talking or excessive talkativeness, undermine our health? Normal people, as one Western study found, breathe twice as much air when they speak.

Long conversations with others, on the phone and excessive talkativeness can thereby cause many side effects such as, dizziness, light-headedness, loss of concentration, emotional instability, muscular tension, and abnormal posture. Furthermore, even 10-20 minutes of continuous speaking on a cell phone resets the breathing center to lower arterial and brain CO2 levels promoting hyperventilation, tissue hypoxia and chronic diseases.
