Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has issued a strong call to shift Nigeria’s healthcare focus from curative treatment to preventive healthcare and traditional wellness practices. Speaking at the launch of The EverHale Living Company and its inaugural Wellness Expo in Lagos, Obasanjo emphasized that wellness is a responsibility, not a luxury, urging Nigerians to take proactive steps in managing their health.
Obasanjo Advocates Preventive Healthcare and Traditional Medicine
Drawing from his personal experience of managing diabetes for over 40 years through indigenous African practices, Obasanjo stressed the urgent need for Nigeria’s healthcare system to prioritize prevention over cure. “You can call me a herbalist if you like,” he said, “What EverHale is doing is restoring us to nature.”
The former president highlighted essential lifestyle changes for better health, including routine health screenings, balanced nutrition, regular physical exercise, sufficient rest, and maintaining social connections as pillars of long-term well-being.
EverHale Founder Highlights Africa’s Reactive Approach to Health
Johnson Adumike, Founder and CEO of EverHale Living Company, echoed Obasanjo’s message, condemning the continent’s tendency to address health only after illness strikes. Adumike shared his personal health journey, revealing that a diabetes diagnosis in 2021 motivated him to launch EverHale, a wellness movement dedicated to intentional living and proactive health investment.
Exclusive African Rights to Body Reset Products and Wellness Innovation
EverHale has secured exclusive rights to distribute the Body Reset range of non-GMO health products across Africa. This initiative aims not only to provide high-quality supplements but also to shift the public mindset towards prevention and wellness.
Introducing EverHale Wellness City: Africa’s Largest Wellness Hub
In a groundbreaking announcement, EverHale revealed plans to develop the continent’s largest wellness hub — the EverHale Wellness City, expected to be completed by 2027. This state-of-the-art facility will include a 500-bed clinic, advanced diagnostic laboratories, research centers, and a residential complex tailored for medical tourism.
Call for Investment and Confidence in Local Health Innovations
Adumike urged Africans to trust and invest in local health innovations. Despite abundant natural resources, scientific expertise, and skilled professionals, many still favor imported wellness products. “We have the raw materials, the people, and the science. What we now need is belief and bold investment,” he affirmed.
