Regulators causing more damage to Nigerian system than good — Utomi

The APC governorship aspirant for Delta State, Professor, Partrick Okedinachi Utomi has called on Nigeria elites ‘living in false security of non participation’ to step out of their comfort zones to contribute to nation building.

Addressing his audience and committee of friends on Friday at an event organised by Joseph Edgar of Katunga Media in Lagos on the role of elites on nation building, which he titled, ‘The duty of elite and the false security non-participation”, Utomi said that he has contributed much to his country, Nigeria and therefore enjoined other Nigerian elites who are afraid to participate in this struggle to come out as this is the only way to make a positive change in the country.

Utomi said, “weak institutions contributed to the system failure and therefore need to be revived even while the regulators have done more damage to the Nigerian system than good”.

According to him, we’re living in a collapse of culture where values are relegated to the background, and so Nigeria today needs committed leaders that would bring about transformation and deliver dividends of democracy which we fought for”.

On his three points agenda, Utomi said, “eradication of poverty, quality education and healthcare, are the needs of Delta State.

He said that the principal goal of his governorship motivation was “the eradication of poverty, a scourge hanging over Delta even when the people can look across their backyards to the world of abundance around oil production enclaves of foreign oil companies”.

Utomi argued that “ending poverty ensures opportunity for quality education, both vocational and traditional, to reach all in Delta quickly, and our emphasis will include rapid improvement in teacher quality.”

However, it’s also been shown to impose extremely large compression forces on the discs in your spine. That’s a problem. Bend a wire coat hanger back and forth and, eventually, it will snap. You can’t predict in advance exactly how many bends it will take before it breaks. But you know it’s going to happen sooner or later. Likewise, the discs in your spine can only tolerate so many bending cycles before the accumulated damage manifests itself in the form of pain. Sit-ups may not damage your spine right away. But each set could be moving you one step closer to a crippling back injury that keeps you out of the gym for some time. There are also better abs exercises to choose from. In fact, certain exercises have been shown, in some studies anyway, to work the abdominal muscles harder than sit-ups. These abdominal exercises not only work your stomach muscles but they increase the st...
