The Bow

Tonight on the WORK IT series, we followup on our 5th March 2022 programming about the slums Banana and Money villages in the heart of Abuja.Today we talk about PEOPLE,WORK AND THE HOUSING SITUATION IN NIGERIA and the summary is in this maths equation

poor salary+unaffordable housing =SLUM

This is a serious issue that affects the achievement of Goal 11 of the UN SDGs (Sustainable cities and communities) and Goal 8 of the UN SDGs(Decent work & economic growth).

Tonight on the 100th edition of programming at The Bow,on THE WASTEAGE SERIES, we look at Goal 4 (Quality Education),Goal 6 (Clean water & sanitation) and Goal 17(Partnership for the goals) of the UN SDGs as we look at Celebrities And Waste:The kids.Tonight,we interview 2kids of 2 celebrities here in Abuja city(a broadcaster and a humanitarian worker) both of whom I always meet when we go out for our CLEANUP ABUJA cleaning exercise.These kids at their ages have been influenced by their parents habit of coming out for the cleaning exercise. These kids have been informally educated by their parents habit that a clean environment makes sense and it is healthy .

Tonight on the 99th edition The Bow, we look at Goal 5 of the UN SDGs.This is a followup on our 12 September 2020 edition of the podcast titled STAY AT HOME MUMS.Tonight we look into the somewhat genderization of home responsibilities.Should we say cooking is for the mum and fixing the car is for the dad?Should we leave the woman to do all the house work?As a parent,I do everything and it just makes my kids happy and proud to have an all knowledgeable dad.Join us tonight as we talk about SHARED DOMESTIC RESPONSIBILITY(action 5.4 of Goal 5 of the UN SDGs) .

Tonight on The Bow, we look at Goal 16 of the UN SDGs as we focus on SIT-TIGHT SYNDROME.Absolute greed(what they call LONGER THROAT in the local palace in Nigeria) has and continues to make leaders glue themselves to a position without thinking about the public good.Its disgusting that common sense is not common to these leaders who fistly rule and stampede the human rights of their followers .This is not leadership.This wickedness must stop and we are the ones to bring that change to reality.

Tonight on 97th edition of The Bow, its celebration as THE WORK IT series is 1year old(making it the longest most successful work related podcast series in the African sub region).Unemployment in Nigeria is currently at 33% (following 32.5% last year 2021).Scary statistics but we must all get to work.Decent work with diligence pays.No matter how small the work is ,JUST DO IT.

Tonight being the 96th edition of the podcast THE BOW,we continue on our usual Wasteage Series as we talk on The Kinetics of Recycling In Nigeria .These days , we buy more,consume more and dispose more thereby rolling out lots of waste .We just have to recycle more to save our planet from being polluted.YES...we can do this.

Tonight on the 2nd edition of the EAT IT series ,we talk about PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDRENS FOOD.Following a long survey of 3 locations in Nigeria, we discovered the ugly trend these days where mother are seen early in the morning at small restaurants(MAMA PUT) buying food for their children to take to school or worse still children sent out by their mothers flooding a Mama Put inorder to buy food they will take to school.Due to the harsh economic realities that has made these small restaurants to be unethical in their cooking practice,I personally beg parents let us return to eat HOME FOOD.

Tonight on THE BOW(on the Work It Series), we secretly interview & snap a lady taxi driver who lives in Karimo(a major slum in Abuja).This mother of 4boys(lost her 5th child)is very happy to be a taxi driver as she drives the Berger to Life camp route in Abuja.She started this driving work 7 years ago when her initial business of sale of used clothes(called Okirika in Nigeria's local palace) took a nose dive.She wasn't discouraged especially as people were scared of entering her car as they vocalized their fears especially as their doubted her judgement of safety being a woman behind the wheels.This lady enjoys this work and uses her profit to fund her 4 boys secondary school education.Empower a woman and you empower the world.This lady has taught us that the big is in the small.Let every unemployed person find a job no matter how small or how stupid it seems.
