MOVIE REVIEW: 93DAYS BY NKECHI IKOH

It is a historic gripping documentation of the deadly disease that started the day Patrick Sawyer (Ebola carrier) came to Nigeria.
The film provides an even deeper insight about the sacrifices the late Dr Ameyo Adadevoh's had to suffer to uncover the sneaky virus.

Dr Adadevoh played by actress Bimbo Akintola was a physician at the first consultant hospital, Obalende. She paid attention to the details surrounding patient zero. 
Ada Igonoh played by Somkele Idahalama, was a young doctor who treated Sawyer and upon whom  it fell to certify him dead.  She noticed that Dr Ameyo  suspected that patient zero was a carrier and that she strongly opposed his employer's request to discharge him so he could catch a flight to calabar.

She went against all obstacles that suggested it wasn't Ebola and severely ignored threats.
Adadevoh had two options. Either to  refer him to Lagos University teaching hospital and regard him as a nonetity or discharge him.
But she didn't. She chose to quarantine and detain him at first consultant hospital.
Adadevoh died because she  was patriotic and selfless for her country. Heroic.
She went against all odds to see that cold hearted men like the patient zero, did not go through with the spread.

93 days is a story of patriotism and sacrifice. Because of Dr Ameyo Adadevoh, Nigeria had been declared Ebola free by the World health organization.

It's a must watch! Enjoy!

The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired. I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...
