WASTE MANAGEMENT AND HEALTH CONCERN.

WASTE MANAGEMENT AND HEALTH CONCERN.
Al-Qo'simy hernnany Atere, writes.


Over time, so many unbearable occurrences happen everyday, which has claimed lives and render some helplessly on the hospital beds. Such occurrences are a result of human negligence and improper disposal of waste in the environment. The effect of improper waste disposal has become an undesirable garment on our neck and threats to our noble existence on the surface of the earth.

Significantly, as it has been identified; waste is any unwanted or unusable material that has been discarded after its initial use. It could be in solid, liquid, or gaseous waste, examples of such waste are non-recyclable materials, depletion of natural gas illegally, pollution of the environment ( water and air) through the release of sewage. These substances when released to the earth surface provoke the human state of wellness.

Also, most materials that are extravagantly used by households these days are lethargic and toxic which impacts the society negatively either directly or indirectly.
Industrial waste, fumes from exhaust waste of industries to the atmosphere is a primary cause of acid rain, global warming, and some types of cancerous diseases, inflammation of the eyes, and irritation of respiratory organs when inhaled. Experience and researche has it that, waste in any of its state of matter when discarded to the environment also affects the aquatic organisms which indirectly affects us through the consumption of aquatic products.

The vulnerability to the negative effect of improper waste management is not limited to a particular demographics, it affects the whole system of the environment, from the company losing some revenue, to the government budget that will be distorted when plague arise directly or indirectly due to exposure to improper waste disposal, sanitation workers are affected during sorting and clearing of waste and community transmission which will probably occur when in an epidemic, all in all, they are interdependent.

Supposedly, in a sane society where policies and orderliness are maintained, the control of waste management will not be delegated to a particular body; rather it should be decentralised to both private and government investment or subjected to a public-private partnership.
All media platforms’ awareness will suffice to make humans aware of her consumption, and the effect of these waste materials on her health, which directly and indirectly will lead to less consumption, less waste, and effective management.

The detriment of waste materials to nature and her environment needs considerable attention to curb the escapade of its looming consequences as mentioned earlier. To make this effective, an accurate database and technological platforms for waste usage and disposal will be required.
Most of our non-recyclable plastics are the real ado affecting our societies. making our ambient unfriendly; most plastics and bottles are made of toxic chemicals such as mercury, lead, cobalt, selenium, and cyanide which are highly lethargic of which exposure to them could be the cause for untimely deaths and an avalanche of injuries.

Medically, First aid centers should be available at either strategic locations of waste collection centers or sorting centers for effective medication when accidents arise.
Conclusively, if everyone should continue living inconsiderably or decking of I don’t-care face to the improper management of waste; we are all at higher risk of infections.

I charge everyone to be responsible today for the proper management of waste, continuous sensitization of the people towards the positive effect of waste management, a clear and waste-free drainage system should be encouraged and weekly or regular environmental cleaning should be imbibed.
Our continuous existence on the surface of the earth lies in my hand and yours.

Let all be the part of the solution, not part of your pollution.

GOOD GOVERNANCE; A CATALYST TO NATION BUILDING.

GOOD GOVERNANCE; A CATALYST TO NATION BUILDING. Al-Qo'simy hernnany Atere, writes. A nation who fails to develop become vulnerable to insecurity, unemployment, corruption, recession, ignorance, illness, decline infrastructures and abject poverty. Such environment at which these persist would best be described as nothing but a home for revolting species of being whose lack of employment will make them become the tool for the devil to commit so many formidable attrocities such as political thuggery, raping, assassinating, kidnapping, terrorism and plethora of other societal plagues.  Governance is a process by which the responsibilities could be discharged by exercising policies in economy, education, health, politics and administrative authority that could reawaken or ensure smooth running of the system via numerous mechanisms, processes and established organisations to ensure the affluence personalities and common man in the street enjoy the dividends of the decisions m

YOU DIDN'T PROMISE TO DISAPPEAR TOO SOON.

YOU DIDN'T PROMISE TO DISAPPEAR TOO SOON. Al-Qo'simy hernnany Atere, writes. Indeed, life is not a home for we are strangers. No mater the background, our earthly stay is ephemera. We have seen parents died leaving behind an hopeless daughter. And a striving son untimely buried by the wealthless father. Unitarily we will be catched as a prey by death, the human scavenger. . Silently you came to whisper the song of love to my listening ear. Publicly you practically show that you will always be there. You fight my fight at my back without been aware. Tactically you detained my lingering worries and fears. Assiduously you challenged the annoying ache that could bring tears. . For this reason,I was romantically diven into the pool of love. I was charged to ensure relationship thrive with romantic flavour. I did all I could to ensure we are compatible to form eternal bond. And from the start you have always been a responsible man of valour. I became the oxygen to the burning fire of

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES. BY: IBRAHEEM OLASUNKANMI QOSEEM from Kwara State University, Malete.                     NEED FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Dear Ma,          It is with embitterment of mind that I write this protracted letter to you. As I have seen and still experience the bewildered mysteries that run gamut of suffering, incessant pain and continual epileptic seasoned experience as a result of our predisposition to biological threat due to negligence and selfish cry for global standard and wanton recognitions. I still wonder why conservation matters are ensued in conspiracy  when the responsibility is meant for all. I believe it is high time we took a thorough hygiene towards attaining the giant stride in the conservation of its lost glory. Biodiversity, in simple expression, simply means life on Earth. It is a span time through which biological entities ranging from human, plants, microorgani
