The graduation speech that I never released!!!

It has been a hell of a year culminating in a hell couple of weeks of incessant flights and trains. Running from one end to another to meet various events. Gracefully, I have been certified to practice in the United Kingdom, also awarded a Master’s degree in Public Health from the School of Health and Related Research in University of Sheffield. The University that drills into the mind and develops it, teaching you not to scheme the surface but be as critical as ever. It has been a journey of joy, pain, sleepless nights, long days and unending hours of reflection. The glourios bit is it all ended well, not because of all these, which I have been conferred with but because of the people I represent and inspire. From the little town of Oko-kingdom, off the banks of the prominent river Niger that marks my nation Nigeria. To the little council area of Angwar- Sunday, Sabon-Tasha where I was born and brought up, to Queency International school Kaduna, followed by the mixed military Command Secondary School kaduna and all the way to my medical college Madonna University Teaching Hospital. I did this for all of you who share these origins, for we know the very struggle we have been through. The joy of putting all those names out to the world has just begun because I will take you all places, so long as it pleases my

I am a youthful Nigerian!

Our voice so soft but true

We are so great yet so low

We are said to be free but bound by our own

We glow so bright when free from this bond

Not for any reason but the fire ignited in us by the mother land

How long shall we wait to see our true potentials put to work

It is time to stir the waters

Time to change the status quo

Time to be Younited

We must find the courage and resilience

We ought to put aside those things that have been sold to divide us

They are afraid of our Younited power, hence will do anything to ensure we remain divided

From North to south, East to west the same story of bondage by cabals

Now they are back again like the chameleon adapting to our environment

once they win, we see their true colour.

Overweight and obesity

Do you know overweight, obesity and their related conditions account for about 2.8million deaths annually and accounts for much more death worldwide than underweight.

Overweight and obesity are defined as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health" but clinically defined as a Body mass index (BMI) equal to or more than 25, and obesity as a BMI equal to or more than 30. BMI – The weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m2) – is a commonly used index to classify overweight and obesity in adults.

The common error in body weight assessment is using the weight without relating it to the height.

Since leaving office one year and one week ago, I have had the luxury of time to be able to reflect on the future of my great country, Nigeria.

Broken Dreams!!!

As easy as it goes.

I felt something so real in my heart

Thinking it would someday go away

But many night and days have gone

and all I do is still pray

Biography of Thomas Sankara. C!!!

You can't carry out fundamental change without a level of madness.

Thomas Sankara was Burkina Faso’s president from August 1983 until his assassination on October 15, 1987. Perhaps, more than any other African president in living memory, Thomas Sankara, in four years, transformed Burkina Faso from a poor country, dependent on aid, to an economically independent and socially progressive nation.

RIP MUHAMMED ALI. [More than just the fist]

I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.

Today the world is greeted with the news of God calling home one of the most illustrious legendary and greatest fighter of all time.  A man who means a lot to so many, despite being diagnosed of Parkinson at 38 in a time when such was not known to be common among the young but despite his shaking body his spirit was unshaken to the end
