Onabamiro Calls for Resourcefulness and Mental Health Focus to Tackle Economic Challenges
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Prof. Adegbenga Onabamiro, a psychologist, urged Nigerians to adopt modest lifestyles as a means to survive the country’s ongoing economic difficulties. Onabamiro’s lecture, titled “From Tangled Web of Life to Clear Path: Counselling Psychologist as a Compass,” offered a roadmap for navigating the economic challenges through frugality, resourcefulness, and mental health awareness.

Onabamiro highlighted that nonessential spending should be reduced and that Nigerians should explore ways to reuse, recycle, and diversify their sources of income. He argued that the economic environment demands a shift in mindset, with individuals prioritising needs over wants to weather the financial storm that has affected many families.

The psychologist also focused on the health risks tied to economic hardship, specifically the rising incidence of high blood pressure, which could lead to heart failure or stroke if left unmanaged. He urged Nigerians to take proactive steps in managing stress, advocating for healthy coping mechanisms as part of an overall strategy to navigate financial pressures. His comments underscored the interconnectedness of economic well-being and mental health, suggesting that neglecting one could exacerbate the other.

In addition to addressing personal finance, Onabamiro called on the Nigerian government to review its economic policies, which he described as increasingly “unbearable and unfriendly.” He argued that the economic measures currently in place are inadequate and urged the government to prioritize policies that would alleviate the burden on ordinary Nigerians. According to him, policy adjustments could go a long way in improving the economic climate and giving citizens hope for the future.

The psychologist also addressed the importance of mental health, calling for increased investment in mental health services. He emphasised that policies should be put in place to support mental health in education, workplaces, and communities. Onabamiro stressed that mental health should be seen as a crucial component of public health, as untreated mental health issues can affect productivity and overall societal well-being.

Onabamiro concluded by urging couples, particularly those experiencing marital challenges due to financial strain or childlessness, to seek professional counselling. He stressed that open communication, empathy, and understanding were key to maintaining strong relationships, especially during difficult times.
