Ekiti NMA asks members to remove stickers, emblem

The Nigerian Medical Association, Ekiti, has advised members to remove stickers of the union from their vehicles and stop wearing the emblem.
The Ekiti NMA Chairman, Dr John Akinbote, gave the advice at a press conference in Ado Ekiti on Thursday as a security tip to curtail kidnap and unwarranted attacks on doctors by kidnappers that have been operating in the state in the last two weeks.
The union also berated security agencies’ reaction to the kidnap of their members, saying they deserved to be protected considering the special services they render to the society.
A former Chief Medical Director of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Dr Patrick Adegun and his wife, Kikelomo and an industrialist were kidnapped on Thursday at different locations in the State, although the husband was released on the condition to look for money to release his wife.

A theatre nurse with Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, Mrs Margaret Aladenika, had been kidnapped last week Sunday along Ido-Ipere-Iludun road, while a yet to be identified man was killed in the operation.
Akinbote said, “We are also advising them to stop moving around at night because these people had the erroneous impression that we receive higher pay and that we can be profitable objects of  kidnap. This is responsible for why kidnappers were after us.

Many injustices still plague our world. Poverty amid surplus, religious intolerance, racism, gender discrimination, and many more. The need for change cannot be overstated.  In many communities across the globe, people are crying out for a transformation from the current world order. Therefore, the question remains, “Do we turn away and give up in our quest for justice, peace, truth, and a better world?”  The answer for me is a resounding NO! We must recognize that until we challenge our world’s problems, we will continue to live in fear, lack, and anger. Eleanor Roosevelt once s...

The Fleeting Nature of Time

As I scrolled through the faded photograph, the faces of my former classmates stared back at me - a relic from a time long passed. There was Ms. Sola, our teacher, standing resolute in the center, her stern gaze commanding our rapt attention. And there were the familiar names, each one a thread in the tapestry of my youth: Sharon, Delani, Kola, Hazumo, Gafar, Ibrahim the drummer boy, Moji, Sijibomi, Damilola, Esther, Moses, Bimbo, and of course, my own humble self. Time, that elusive and relentless force, had swept us all along on its inexorable march. The carefree days of Evaton Nursery and Primary School, where knowledge, values, and good morals were imparted, now felt like a lifetime ago. How quickly the years had slipped through our fingers, leaving us changed, molded by the experiences that followed. As I gazed at the photograph, I couldn't help but reflect on the fleeting nature of time. The innocent faces in the image, frozen in a moment of captured history, now ...
