There have been different deductions about what globalization depicts. Some related it to the scientist's perspective, economic and social-political perspective while some view globalization from the information technology aspect, but globalization under this research work or study, is viewed from the banking perspective. On this note, there are so many definitions given to globalization by different authors or scholars.

1.1   BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY:   The Advanced Learners Dictionary defines maintenance as the process of protecting or preserving someone or something, or the process of keeping something in good condition. Culture, on the other hand, is a way of life, a lifestyle, customs, traditions, habits that portray the attributes of a person/people. Maintenance culture is an attitude which is sadly lacking in Nigeria, whether in the home, office, school or factory. Mbamali (2003) added that poor maintenance culture has become a widely recognized problem in Nigeria which has poorly affected the quality of public properties.

In essence, there is a symbolic relationship between being over- weight and being hypertensive or having high blood pressure. It is in the interest of people who are likely to develop high blood pressure (over-weight people) to seek out ways of managing their weight, as this research work will try to bring out the effects of weight on such people with high blood pressure.
