Idiat Oluranti Adebule, Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District, has cautioned football enthusiasts about their health as the Super Eagles gear up for the AFCON 2023 final against the Elephants of Ivory Coast.
After the recent incidents that followed the intense semi-final clash between the Super Eagles and the South African team, Senator Adebule, fondly known as Mama West, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing health, particularly in the face of such high-stakes football events.
In a message to the public, Mama West expressed her unwavering confidence in the Nigerian spirit, predicting a triumphant victory for the Super Eagles. However, she issued a crucial reminder to the citizens of Lagos West and Nigerians worldwide.
“As we eagerly anticipate the epic final showdown, let us not forget to take a moment to check our health, specifically our blood pressure,” urged Mama West.
She pointed out a startling statistic that 3 out of every 10 adult Nigerians are hypertensive but remain unaware of their condition.
With a plea to those with established heart disease to avoid activities that could jeopardize their health further, Mama West is advocating for a responsible celebration. For those with a clean bill of health or unaware of their heart status, moderation in celebrations is advised.
As the nation unites to support the Super Eagles, Senator Mama West’s words serve as a timely reminder that victory is not only measured on the field but also in the well-being of the fans.
“Celebrate responsibly and ensure your health is the real winner,” she concluded, echoing the sentiment that the joy of victory should not come at the expense of personal well-being.
