RESOLVING THE ISSUES OF CONGESTION AND SHORTAGE OF HOUSING IN URBAN CENTERS THROUGH EFFECTIVE URBAN PLANNING

Image
Urban centers face daunting population challenges that have increased over the years, this cannot but be attached to the attractive opportunities for growth and revitalization that these centers provide. In addition, when nations have high level of crime, weak institutions, inadequate infrastructures and high instances of corruption, the propensity for people already on the brink of destitution to become completely incapable of sustaining themselves is significantly increased. These individuals and families rapidly migrate to cities for greater opportunities only to be employed most times in the informal sector with few rights and in some cases, without even the benefit of minimum wage protection.  

COMBATING DRUG AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Drugs and substances are tearing apart our society, sprawling crimes, spreading diseases and above all destroying our youths and our future, despite these well known risks, people continue to abuse drugs leading to destruction of individual lives and the society at large. In a strict medical sense, the word drug connotes a different meaning from that presumed by the public. To medical personnel, drug is any substance that can be used to ease or cure ill health through effective and proper use on some body tissues and organs. Since drugs have the innate ability and capacity to produce both positive and negative effects, its dosage must be carefully restricted and administered bearing in mind its consumption in high dosage that can be poisonous and detrimental to general well being.

STUDYING WITHOUT MUCH ADO

Students often feel pressured studying, especially close to examination period. It gets weary sometimes when one has to flip through volumes of pages or go through sleepless nights only to get to the examination hall and find out only a small portion of what you have read was asked or that the only part you failed to read came out glaring at you in the face as a compulsory question, disappointment is the feeling! On some occasions, you read and it all drifts away or your brain does not seem to comprehend the voluminous notes or text before you. The anxiety and fright increases as examination approaches, bringing with it diverse wishes, one that yearns for a postponement on one hand and one that just want it to be done away with on the other hand come what may.

MAKING RESOLUTIONS

MAKING RESOLUTIONS It’s the beginning of a much awaited new year after the yuletide full of celebrations, meeting families, old friends and lots more, a time most wish would last longer. As the old year runs out, we all begin to look back at our achievements from the very beginning of the year and might be disappointed we hardly met the goals we set for ourselves. Reacting to the former and the determination to make it worthwhile and better, we make resolutions as the dawn of a new year unmasks particularly to serve as personal road map for the year.
