Many youths today derive sole companionship
from their mobile phones and affirm that with their mobile phones, they
can never be bored. Thus, they shy away from physical relationships and
contacts with family and friends. They are always engaged in one thing
or the other with their mobile phones throughout the day. Chatting,
watching videos, listen to music, gaming, surfing social media networks,
phone calls, sending sms e.t.c are but a few activities they engage in
with their mobile phones which is gradually becoming propensities.

mobile phones emits harmful electromagnetic radiations, researches have
confirmed that prolonged use of mobile phones poses severe health threat
to the user.
Health conditions such as brain tumors, genetic
damage, headaches, earaches, blurred vision, sleep disorders e.t.c may
arise as a result of prolonged contact with mobile phones. Experts
advice that to reduce the risk of mobile phones health hazard, prolonged
use of phones either for calls or browsing should be discouraged,
sleeping with mobile phones under the pillows or close to any of your
body parts should be avoided, placing phones in breast pockets should be
