President Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to eat well and avoid being obese.
Too many of us are overweight” he said sparking laughter in the house while presenting his fourth State of the Nation Address (SoNA) in Parliament on Thursday.
According to him. "as the nation has made progress in eradicating the communical diseases that used to be the main cause of mortality; we’re in danger of falling into the lifestyle disease trap…too many of us are overweight and obesity is an increasing problem even among young people. The food we eat, mode of cooking and the lack of exercise are all now having a great impression on our health".
He further urged that "it is time we all learn to take responsibility for our individual health and accept that our health is determined by our lifestyle"

Dear Ghana Health Service, From the president's assertion on obesity and lack of awareness on people status. I propose that we should consider taking peoples weight and height to compute their BMI and basic requirements as part of the routine check so that advice and status of people would be professed and known respectively.
YOUR ADVISE SHOULD GO TO YOU AND YOUR VICE BECAUSE THE TWO OF YOU CAN EXPLODE ANYTIME SOON BECAUSE YOU HAVE BOTH BECOME OBESE BEYOND MEDICAL APPROVAL.
IT WAS POLITICAL BLUNDER FOR NDC TO VACATE THEIR SEATS DURING SONA IN THE PRESENCE OF FORMER PRESIDENTS, CHIEF JUSTICE AND SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES, POLICE AND MILITARY TOP HIERARCHY, DIPLOMATIC CORPS, NANANOM, RELIGIOUS LEADERS,THE MEDIA AND REPRESENTATIVES OF VARIOUS GROUPINGS. IT PORTRAY NDC TO ALL THESE PEOPLE GATHERED AS A PARTY OF INDISCIPLINED MPS AND INDIVIDUALS. NDC CAN WALK OUT AT ANY TIME BUT NOT IN THE PRESENCE TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE. THEY HAVE SHOWN THEMSELVES TO ALL AS UNREASONABLEEE, IMATUREEE AND DISRESPECTFULL TO GHNANA AND ALL GATHERED. I DON'T KNOW WHO ADVISES NDC THEY ARE MAKING THEIR PARTY UNPOPULAR TO ALL RIGHT THINKING PEOPLE. NPP WILL NEVER DO THIS. THEY CAN BE ANGRY AS WELL BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS GET ONE WISEMAN TO ADVISE THEM TO AVOID COMMUTING SUCH A BLUNDERR. NONE OF THE DIGNITARIES WHO GATHERED AT PARLIAMENT WILL TAKE NDC SERIOUS. SPIRITUALLY IT IS A BAD OMEN FOR NDC TO VACATE THEIRS SEAT. SMART AS THEY WERE, NPP QUICKLY TOOK OVER THE SEAT. SO NPP OCCUPIED BOTH MAJORITY AND MINORITY SIDES. NDC HAS SPIRITUALLY RELINQUISHED THEIR SEATS TO THE NPP MAJORITY AS WELL. NPP WILL GET MORE OF THEIR SEAT IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS. THIS MEANS EITHER NDC MAY LOOSE MORE SEATS TO NPP OR NDC MAY BOYCOTT THE 2020 ELECTION. WHATERVER THE CASE NPP WILL GET MORE SEAT AFTER 2020 ELECTIONS. AND JUST AS SONA WAS DELIVERED SMOOTHLY AND UNDISTURBED THIS TIME, SO NPP WILL GOVERN AFTER 2020 ELECTIONS SMOOTHLY AND UNDISTURBED, EVEN IF NDC BOYCOTT THE ELECTIONS. ANOTHER BAD OMEN IS THE MISSING OF MAHAMA AT THE SONA. IT MEANS MAHAMA WILL BE INCARCERATED AND DISAPPEAR IN PUBLIC IN SOME DAYS AHEAD. THE EVENTS OF THE SONA CASTS SHADOW FOR THE UNFOLDING POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ALL MUST BE CAREFUL WITH NDC. THEY ARE FRUSTRATED AND HOPELESS IN THEIR POLITICAL AMBITIONS. THEY MUST BE WATCH CLOSELY FOR THEY CAN DO ANYTHING STUPIDD.
