Birthday Shoutout!!!

My history with Ifediora Chinwendu.a.k.a. Wendy goes waaaaaaaaay back. As far back as 1st year. This babe could gist for Africa. In her, I found a partner 😉. The first day we met, we talked for 12 hours straight.

Unbelievable right?
Please believe it.😀

I don't even want to get started on her incredibly fashoinable self.....she can pull off a Cinderella from rags...hehehe😉

Because I want to keep this short and brief, this is me wishing one of the best friends a girl can have, a super belated birthday celebration. Kisses upon kisses. You rock girl!!! Keep slaying and keep rocking and above all, keep being you....mwaaaah!!!!😄😄😄😚

We All Are Role Models

Image
I, with the help of an amazing team, organized a laudable health mission at Nnobi. But the best part wasn't just taking care of people and attending to the medical and drug needs of a village. The best part was the pride and the motivation to be a better me. I really did feel like a light. I felt I was contributing. I know all of us Pharmacy Students felt the same way too. People walk up to you and tell you "My daughters are studying so they can be like you when they grow up". Trust me, those are the best words I've heard all year. I'm soooo glad I'm training to be a health professional and also that I'm being a source of inspiration to people, both known and unknown. It's a totally amazing feeling. Can't be replaced by anything in the world. This favourite quote of mine from my first year totally captures it all... In Marianne Williamson's words, Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyo...

MY DUAL NATIONALITY

I am enroute Lagos for what I choose to call a business trip. In the usual fashion of most buses, a suited man starts praying to God, committing the journey in his hands which is fine by me. Then, out of the blues, he begins to pray for Biafra....in his opinion, a country destined for world greatness and ordained by God. I looked at my friend, Dubem, with incredulity. Wow! Just wow! It was funny, ridiculous and saddening at the same time. And to think that most Igbos want a Biafra. A country that has no fixed ideology. A country born out of our inherent need for independence. A country that would be made up of one-third the people of Nigeria. It baffles me that they can't see ....or rather, they've refused to see...that, unless the core Nigerian issues are addressed, the Biafran state will not succeed. Though I don't blame those who want a Biafra, it is still a sad thought. To most people, Biafra is a symbol of hope. Something to anticipate and pray for in this almost de...

Tribalism Has A Bad Smell

Image
I have always thought that the Northerners are the major crop of Nigerians who just can't seem to stand the Igbos. I honestly thought we were tolerant of other tribes...at least to some extent. But something happened that abruptly changed my mind. My school is hosting a convention of all the Pharmacy schools in Nigeria and people from all parts of the nation were in attendance. Hausas. Yorubas. Efik. Middle belt. Etc. After a hectic event, people were very hungry and I decided to show them to a nearby eatery owned by a Calabar woman. The moment these guys (about 17) alighted their bus and walked into the eatery, every other costumer stood up and left. Some even left their food half eaten or untouched and there was a sickening smell of tension and fear in the air. I started to feel bad for bringing them there in the first place. I honestly felt for them....the hostile attitude just by virtue of their tribe. I discussed the experience with friends and they all felt it was the norm...
