Lagos State Mental Health Stakeholders forum


       On the 22nd of July 2011, Lagos State Mental Health Stakeholders forum was inaugurated in Lagos by Mr  Owoyemi. LSMHS is a nongovernmental organization which aims at addressing the mental illness of every citizen which is caused by either family background or through the leaders of the people. Every human being is bound to be blessed with a mental capital but the question is how everyone can build up this natural endowment. Mental health is defined as a state of well being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stress of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. It can either be affected positively or negatively which hitherto can affect our environment to our detriment or success.
     Nigeria which is our country will be the case study of this lingering illness. It is widely accepted that Nigeria is the 6th largest oil producer country in the world today and yet our debt continue to rise yearly. Its estimated revenue yearly or daily stands as 3.348 trillion naira and yet Nigeria is still considered as one of poorest country in the world. Is this not disheartening? This news alone is enough for people to be angry and when anger comes, frustration follows with unrepentant attitudes.
    Nigeria is ranked 134th among the corrupt countries in the world. L.S.M.H.S.F is formed to address the issues of the causes of mental depression among the people which is broadly witnessed in the mental behavior of the populace. The unruly characters that are shown in the attitude of affected people can be psychologically noticed in their behaviours.Nobody is exempted except we all converge together to address this issue by getting the news closer to the people and aims to create a change to bring sanity back into our persons.
    In Nigeria which is our case study, corruption, crime, prostitution, fraud, ritual, armed robbery, drug addicts, drunks, touts, to mention but few is rampant among the people. Yet the government which is the cause of these disheartening behaviors will never stop boasting that they are spending billions on to curbs these inhuman activities.
     Unemployment, lack of basic infrastructures, qualitative education, hunger to mention just but a few is enough to cause mental illness, depression, frustration, which is generally shown or noticed among the people. Lagos State Mental Stakeholders is formed to converge people from different organization to educate mental health issues. Let us all rise up and fight for our right and our mental capital.

RALPH LAUREN THEFASHION DESIGNER

BIOGRAPHY Fashion Designer Ralph Lauren has become the epitome of classic fashion. With product lines such as Polo/Ralph Lauren for Men, Ralph Lauren for Women, Double RL, Ralph Lauren Home, and even Ralph Lauren paint, it makes us wonder who the man behind the label really is.   Born Ralph Lifshitz on October 14, 1939, in the Bronx, New York, Ralph Lauren has come a long way from his days of sharing a bedroom with two of his brothers. Growing up in a middle-class Jewish family, Ralph and his three older brothers were raised by his mother, while his artist father painted houses. Lauren's fashion sense was apparent at an early age when he would purchase expensive suits with the money he earned working at his after-school job. Although he knew he could find his clothes at a less expensive price, he made it a point to look stylish in his expensive threads -- and he has succeeded at looking cool in his attire since the age of 12. One would think that Lauren attended fashion desi
