Award of recognition.

Today was a day of unexpected surprises and heartfelt gratitude as I found myself on the receiving end of an award from the non-governmental organization I volunteer for, the Refuge of Life Foundation. Under the esteemed leadership of Mr. Bolarinwa Olabode, the Executive Director, the organization has been tirelessly dedicated to its mission, and it was an honor to be recognized as the long-standing and most supportive staff member.

The moment of recognition came amidst my duties as the moderator of the organization's 7th-anniversary event, where esteemed panelists from the media, security sector, and academia gathered to discuss pressing security matters. As I diligently called upon the awardees from the list provided, little did I know that I would soon find myself among them.

With a humble heart, I watched as Mr. Olabode took the microphone from my hand, announcing a special surprise for an unsuspecting recipient – me. The emotions that surged within me were indescribable as my name echoed through the room, and I stood in disbelief, overwhelmed by the unexpected honor bestowed upon me.

Sharing the stage with distinguished individuals such as Comrade Ayo Ologun, a beacon of inspiration and mentorship since my undergraduate days, Pa Smallet Shittu Alamu, a seasoned journalist, and other notable figures, I felt a profound sense of humility and gratitude.

This award is not merely a testament to my individual efforts, but a tribute to the collective pursuit of humanity and empowerment, particularly for the resilient and determined girls striving for excellence in life. As I accept this honor, I pledge to continue dedicating myself to the noble cause championed by the Refuge of Life Foundation, and to uphold the values of compassion, service, and excellence in all endeavors.

7 Medical Doctors died along Abuja-Kaduna Road

#NMA-Ekiti-7: Dr. Dele Atiba gives a life account after surviving a ghastly motor accident that took the lives of 7 members of Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) Ekiti Branch. This date (24/04/2016) has stuck to my memory like it’s super glued to my frontal lobe since last year. It was a Black Sunday! Many lives were lost. Dreams cut short. Aspirations thwarted. Children became orphans and wives turn to widows. I dont think there is nothing that can erase it as long as I live. As a survivor, scars of bodily injuries abound, emotional trauma lingers and psychological trauma persists. The Ekiti Branch of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) delegates to the Annual Delegates Meeting of 2016 in Sokoto had a ghastly motor accident along Abuja-Kaduna road at about 4:30pm in the afternoon. Thirteen lives 12 doctors and their driver wee in the bus. The rear tyre got burst, the bus somersaulted severally, and some were thrown out of the vehicle six died o...

The Tale of Mr. Segun Anozie: A Story of Duty, Love, and the Battle for Balance.

In a bustling city, where dr eams often collide with harsh realities, there lived a man named Segun Anozie. A father, a husband, and a man who bore the weight of providing for his family, not just in the physical sense but with every ounce of his being. Every day, as he navigated the chaotic streets in his humble car, he carried more than just passengers. He carried the hopes of his children, the dreams of his wife, and the unyielding pressure to protect and provide for those he loved most. Then one day, fate brought a stranger into his life—Asherkine, a well-known Digital content creator, influencer, and philanthropist. What started as a simple transaction—a ride to the mall—turned into an unexpected blessing. Asherkine, moved by Segun’s sincerity and dedication, decided to give him a gift that most would see as a his normal gesture. But for Segun, it was more. As he carefully selected items (rice and TV) for his wife and children, he wasn’t just shopping; he was trying to fulfill hi...
