Health officials in the village
Presently, am in Edo state, okada precisely. There is this mama who does menial jobs for a living in the hostel, she was so happy to see me and I was also happy to see her. So we got talking about her health and how she was coping. Like most people will say, “everything is hard oo may God help us o” I said all will be well. Along the line I remembered I haven’t stretched my body that morning so I was doing a little exercise, she now said “ omo mi, moti ranti nkan” (meaning my child I just remembered something) she said a group of health officials came to her church to talk about healthy living and they told them to be doing the kind of exercise I was doing, I said oh really? She said after the health she thought they will share milk and beverages to them but to her surprise they were sharing rope ( skipping rope) and sneakers 👟. To cut the long story short, to the glory of God mama is using the skipping rope to tie loads to her truck, and the sneakers is torn already, she wore it in the farm. I was laughing because it was quite funny.
Looking at this issue critically, I think the health group had a misplaced priority. The villagers are farmers who till the soil, plant, weed, and harvest all the time. This jobs are enough dose of exercise. How do you expect a woman of over sixty to skip.
If I am wrong, feel free to correct me.
