OBITUARY: How Wrong Diagnosis Of Cancer Led To Dora Akunyili’s Death-TheCable

OBITUARY: How Misdiagnosis Of Cancer Led To Dora Akunyili’s Death-TheCable
When Mrs Dora Nkem Akunyili was the Zonal Secretary (South-east) of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund in 1998, Nigerian doctors gave her what many of her family members considered to be a health scare. They said she had a growth and needed surgery.
Akunyili, then 44, decided to travel to the United States, first to get a second opinion and then undergo the prescribed surgery. The bill for the medical trip was $17,000, including $12,000 for the surgery.
During pre-surgery check-up in the US, the doctors told her the Nigerian doctors had made a wrong diagnosis and that she did not need any surgery. It was said to be a minor issue that medication would solve.
She thanked the doctors and, to their surprise, said she was going to return the money meant for the surgery to PTF. That was strange. Nigerian government officials had devised a way of making sure such monies were not returned to the treasury.
The hospital informed the PTF, under the leadership of Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, about one honest Nigerian they had found. Buhari, himself a straightforward person, was very impressed. He wrote a letter to Akunyili commending her honesty.

Scientists discover breakfast may not provide all the benefits we thought it did. But there are other reasons you should eat it

Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day if you do it right. And weight loss advice has always encouraged eating breakfast for optimal weight management. However, two new studies show this might not be true.

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) discovered that skipping breakfast doesn’t necessarily help or harm weight loss efforts. In their 16-week clinical trial looking at overweight and obese participants,they report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that eating or skipping breakfast had no effect on participants’ weight loss.

After protesting for days which also continued this morning when UNILAG students shut down the gates leading into the school and all academic activities, with some of them also occupying the senate building, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic & Research, Prof. Babajide Alo immediately pronounced a reversal of the hiked fees for course registration, and other charges, described as unacceptable by the protesting students this morning.

Well I totally agree with her, but how many African men will allow their woman to be independent? Some married successful women have said, their men feel they get shoulder to shoulder with them in terms of cash, which is unacceptable. Some of these men have told their wives they regret letting them work in the first place, while some out rightly stop them from working at some point.

Yeah yeah true…lol

Why now? She posted the photo and wrote Kami trying to tie gele with tissue on this poor Dolly! Who will clean this up now biko?! #holidaystarts #mummymode #lionnodeyborngoat

Abeg lets see the face of the little cutie jare…

Just like our Nigerian pastors, Nigerian gospel songs cannot lead you to Christ. You can hate me all you want for saying this. After all, the early Christians were hated by the world for speaking the truth. Jesus himself warned us of this in John 15:19, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own, but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

The truth is that Nigerian gospel songs are not spiritually uplifting. They are mostly about the things of the flesh’ about riches and fame. The simple use of religious terms and phrases here and there is not enough to lead anyone to Christ. I dare you to go to any Nigerian gospel musician’s website and see if you will find a simple plan of salvation. You won’t.

A 19-year-old girl (names withheld) got more than she bargained for when she visited the wife of her ex-boyfriend called Kingsley, who delivered a newborn baby, recently. Unknown to the victim, she apparently walked into a trap set by an angry ex-boyfriend.

The agony of the ugly incident that followed later was not just that she was gang-raped , her sister molested and thoroughly beaten up, she later agreed to an amicable settlement just because of fear of another attack.

Crime Guard learnt that the ex-boy friend is the son of a serving Chief Superintendent of Police,CSP, attached to a police unit in Jos, while his mother sells food at Area K command along Badagry expressway.

Narrating the incident to Crime Guard , the victim said: “On that day I went there at Ketu in Ijanikin to visit my ex-boy friend Kingsley, whose wife had just had a baby. When I got there, I met him outside, I asked him of his wife, he said she was inside with the new born baby. So, I went inside to see her. When I got into the house, the wife and the baby were not inside but I met two other guys.

Timaya and Ksolo back then

K-solo on a fresh interview with Punch has revealed why he is upset with Timaya and vows never to produce for him again. He described Timaya as an ingrate even after he has produced 3 successful albums for him. Hear him, Davido the other day bought a house for his producer who recorded his first single that made him a star, even though they hardly work together again, he still did that. What did Timaya do? He also spoke about his widely reported marriage drama and why he had to stay out of the news for a good whole year. The interview after the cut.

We've heard rumours of her death a few times before but unfortunately this time it's for real. Former Director General of NAFDAC and former Minister of Information Prof. Dora Akunyili has died. She died in the Indian hospital where she was taken to on May 11 to receive medical treatment after her health deteriorated.

Various reliable sources have confirmed her passing. She was only 59. So sad! May her soul rest in peace, Amen.

From a female LIB reader

I'm engaged to a man who has dated at least six of my friends. I've lived abroad since I was 16 and only returned to Nigeria last year. Apparently he's one of hottest bachelors on the Island and has been around and slept with a lot of these women. It was after we got engaged that I started to find out about all his exes. Some of them even made sure to tell me about their past tryst with him.

Researchers at the University of Wollongong in Australia are working on a next-generation condom that feels like skin.
The project was funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which gave $100,000 to about a dozen such projects, challenging them to build a condom people actually wouldn't mind using.
Bill Gates talked about the condom project during an ask-me-anything session on Reddit last February. While the work is serious, helping to end the spread of AIDS, like everyone else, he couldn't resist cracking a joke about it, saying:

"This is a sensitive topic. The idea was that men don't like the current design so perhaps something they would be more open to would allow for less HIV transmission. We still haven't gotten the results."

So here's a closer look at one project, shown off in a progress-report video published this week.
The researchers call this new material a "tough hydro-gel" which they say can "act, feel and look more like real skin."

by ‘Jola Sotubo

As the world is still reeling from the gruesome death of a Pakistani woman who was stoned to death and had her head smashed by her family because she married for love, the trend of “honour killing’ has affected yet another victim.

Pandemonium occurred at the International wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport yesterday as an Ijebu man(name withheld) and his family were barred from boarding an Air France flight to London.
According to eye witnesses, all seemed to be well with the said family and other passengers as they queued to check in around 4:45pm, until the man raised his voice at the airline officials over him not having the necessary traveling documents, especially a United Kingdom Visa.
Before he was whisked away by security agents, FNN was made to understand that he and his family intended to fly to London with a Visa ATM card as opposed to the needed Visa travel document showing permission to enter a foreign country.

Boko Haram members, masquerading as christian preachers, killed over 100 people in a community in Borno state yesterday. They dressed up like pastors, told the people to come out and listen to a sermon and after they had gathered they butchered them.
This sort of thing is happening yet some people in our country are still refusing to acknowledge the fact that this matter is not only political but that it is also religious.

For those who don't know the story, Ibinabo was involved in an accident many years ago in Lekki Lagos that left the driver of the car she hit, dead. She was arrested and charged but she's since settled with the court and the victim's family.
