 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results.

RESEARCH INDICATES THAT SMARTPHONES HARBOR MORE BACTERIA THAN TOILET SEATS. (PHOTO).

 


Research indicates that smartphones harbor significantly more bacteria than toilet seats. 

A survey conducted by MattressNextDay identified the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a potentially infectious bacterium, on most devices. This bacterium is also found in cockroach droppings, underscoring the health risks associated with inadequate smartphone cleanliness.


This situation is particularly concerning given the correlation between smartphone addiction and hygiene practices. Many users spend substantial amounts of time on their devices, often neglecting proper cleaning protocols. An NIH study revealed that 43% of medical students used their phones in restrooms, yet only 23% disinfected them regularly.


Furthermore, a survey by NordVPN found that smartphones can carry potentially harmful germs up to ten times more than toilet bowls. A significant issue arises from individuals bringing their phones into the bathroom, thereby exposing them to bacteria that can lead to urinary tract infections and other digestive complications.


Smartphones have become central to daily life, with nearly 50 million people in the UK sleeping with their devices nearby. Seventy-four percent report that they cannot leave their phones outside the bedroom. This habit not only increases exposure to bacteria but also disrupts sleep, as the blue light emitted from screens interferes with melatonin production.


Melatonin is a hormone released by the brain in response to darkness. It plays a crucial role in regulating sleep and synchronizing circadian rhythms, which constitute the body’s 24-hour internal clock.
