” My 5 years old daughter suddenly developed an eye condition known as Strabismus (crossed eye or half past four eye). Strabismus is an eye condition whereby the two eyes do not look in the same direction. She was not born with such condition, it developed about 2 years ago.
One of the major causes of this condition is severe head trauma or head injury, maybe one of the days she hit her head somewhere, this is the story for another day.
When I first discovered the first deviation, I just saw it as a flash and it disappeared immediately. Until 4 months later when I discovered it again. It continued on and off until it became very visible.
We went to different private hospitals here in Owerri after which each of them gave her some medications, eye drops and asked us to observe it. As time went on, it became more visible and we continued to visit more eye hospitals on recommendations, including FMC Owerri and other private hospitals where she was also given eye drops and eye patch to cover one each of her eyes alternatively.
We continued this eye training for the next 6 months and it wasn’t getting better. By then, people have started asking questions about her eye, her classmates has started making mockery of her eyes, I was getting more frustrated and confused as what next to do.
I kept asking questions until I got to know about the almighty St Joseph eye hospital mgbirichi in imo state. We made arrangements and booked a date. When we went there, it was actually a very big hospital. After we waited patiently all day, it got to our turn and we met with the consultant ;a lady.
After examining my daughter’s eyes, she told us that nothing can be done about it as it was already late to correct. That the only thing she can do is to recommend glasses for her so that the deviation cannot go beyond this and hence affect her vision. Oh God! My daughter to grow up with this condition? Nah!
Thank God for the power of internet, I had already scoured the internet immediately I discovered her condition, gathering all the information I could on this. So when the consultant at mgbirichi told me that nothing could be done about it, I begged to differ. I told her that from my research that I learnt it could be corrected by surgery.
That was when she now agreed with me that there is a possibility through surgery and now referred me to University of Portharcourt teaching hospital (UPTH) to go and meet with the Pediatric Opthalmologist. From mgbirichi we drove straight to UPTH but unfortunately as we got there, it wasn’t the day mapped out for children. We had to go and come back on Monday because children consultations is only on Mondays.
Owing to the fact that Imo state is on lock down every Mondays just like every state in the east, as such no commercial transport service ply on the road on Mondays but we took the risk to travel from Owerri to PH amidst the lonely roads. That is one of the few risks we had to take for the sake of our child.
On that Monday, after the usual tussle that involves visiting a government hospital, going to and from till we completed the registration process, we waited for our turn until we met with the Chief Consultant Professor (Mrs) Adedayo Adio. Chai! May God bless this woman for me.
Immediately she examined my daughter, she assured us that it can be corrected through surgery. I was happy but then came the second stage of my anxiety. The thought of “surgery” kept making my heart jump at intervals. I have never had surgery of any kind in my entire life.
Being a government hospital, we had to wait for our booking for surgery to get a date in 4 months time as some of the equipment needed to carry out the surgery at UPTH is not working and needs a replacement which has been applied for by the management board and yet to get a positive response (this is the usual practice in every government institution in Nigeria).
Well, even if all their equipment was working, I wouldn’t risk going to the government hospital for the surgery based on my experience with government hospitals in Nigeria. So through one of the staff there, I got to know about her private eye clinic and believe me, that was the best decision I took.
In summary, we spent roughly 1.6 million naira for the surgery and the surgery was successful. It’s been three months now and my daughter has her eyes in perfect condition.
Being a parent comes with so much responsibility. Sometimes you have to take critical decisions that is very risky but you have no other option than to go for it because it is all for the best. That’s the situation I found myself, but I am very happy I made that risky but good choice.”

His first coming was like a lamb…
He was slaughtered.
So his 2nd coming is as a Lion – he will slaughter them -Charles Awuzie Analysis on Donald Trump
While I may have fundamental differences with Donald Trump as a person, but I am open minded to learn from his intentionality.
The problem I have with humans is bias – if they love Kamala then everything about Trump must be evil. And if they love Trump, anyone who disagrees with him is antichrist. The same applies to those who love Tinubu but think Obi is a scam and those who love Obi but sees nothing good in Tinubu – just low vibration, low frequency human consciousness – symptom of an ‘Unstretched’ Mind.
There are very few humans who are conscious of their own bias and are genuinely making efforts to KEEP AN OPEN MIND. These ones have STRETCHED their minds.
I have learnt so much from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his political moves.
I have learnt also from President Donald Trump.
I have learnt from the Holy Koran just as I have learned from the Holy Bible.
And That’s how I maintain a constant flow of inspiration – by keeping an open mind.
Trump’s intentional use of Crypto, Religion and Nationalism is worth studying.
Crypto is the modern financial culture – it’s a cult.
Religion is an ancient universal culture – it’s a cult.
Nationalism excludes people who are not from your nation while placing your nation first – it’s a cult.
This cult strategy wins every time if well executed.
If you want to win an election in your country, align with the ideals of the majority. If they want to deport all immigrants, champion it even if your wife and biggest donors are both immigrants.
Politics is a mind game. If you don’t understand this, you are still a baby. The difference between a smiling Trump and a frowning Trump is Mind Game. Your mind will effortlessly liken him to the lamb and Lion branding of Jesus.
Good morning!

Ladies beware of this man. He tricked me that he’ll divorce his wife & marry me not knowing they’re all fat lies!
I met this guy in 2022. I thought he was genuine & i fell for his looks not knowing that he is Lucifer’s twin brother who dresses in suit & tie. We dated for 3yrs but, he never took me to his house. He claims to be married with 2 kids but unhappy & also convinced me that he was no longer interested in his wife, promising to divorce her to be with me
He claims his parents pressurized him to marry the girl & after 4 yrs he’s fed up with the marriage & wants a divorce because he’s not happy in the marriage. I took him for his word after he successfully convincing me I’m the one that he truly loves & wanted to be with, promising to marry me as soon as the divorce proceedings with his wife was over, i believed him. During this time, I became pregnant with his child, & we now have a one-year-old daughter.
However, I’ve since discovered that he never initiated any divorce proceedings. Instead, he’s been using me emotionally & financially. instead of him giving me money like a man will normally do for the woman he claims to love, he has been collecting money from me. His latest excuse is that he doesn’t want to marry a woman with children from previous relationships.

UNIVERSITY of Zambia student’s quest to become a doctor has been temporarily halted after he was together with his ‘business’ partner for stealing phones from six students.
The student, Mike Musonda, 26, and his co-accused Equinox Tembo,24, unemployed, were jailed three years imprisonment with hard labour for stealing six phones valued at more than K14,000.
Musonda and Tembo appeared in court last week charged with six counts of theft, offences committed between August 1 and October 31, 2024.
Between the same dates, the duo stole a samsung galaxy M34 worth K4,500 from Grace Chanda, while in the second count, the accused stole an Iphone 6 worth K2,000 from Beatrice Mutale.
Accusations in the third count are that the accused stole a Huawei Pic Lite with K2,500 from Natasha Nyawa and that in the fourth count, the duo also stole an Itel S23 phone worth K2,500 from Catherine Chipasha.
In count five, the accused stole an Itel KB7 worth K2,600 from Dorcas Moyo and later stole a Techno pop 6 valued at K,1,800, the property of Mishel Siwale, in respect of the last count.
The both admitted the charges before Lusaka magistrate Amy Masoja-Chilangwa and told the court they had no claim to right to the phones.
Evidence is that during the material times, the first complaint, Ms Chanda, an UNZA student, was on her way to campus when she met Musonda, who introduced himself as an entrepreneur.
Musonda, who informed Ms Chanda that he was looking for people to ‘work’ with, later introduced her to Tembo, while at UNZA campus.
At the time, Ms Chanda had called her friend Beatrice Mutale informing her about a ‘job’ the two gentlemen were offering.
The accused later told Ms Chanda and Ms Mutale that they needed to capture their details so that they could give them identity cards for the ‘job’.
The accused then got a Samsung and an iPhone phone from the ladies on the pretext that they would get some details from the gadgets.
Musonda left with the phones leaving behind Tembo with the ladies before the latter also excused himself claiming that he wanted to use the toilet before he disappeared.
After realizing that they had been duped, the two ladies rushed to the university main entrance to alert security.
On the way, the duo met Tembo who then fled before the ladies ,security guards and other students pursued him while shouting thief.
After being apprehended, Tembo led security guards to the apprehension of Musonda before the duo was taken to Kalundu Police Post.
When news of the detention of the duo spread through campus, other affected students emerged and reported that their phones were equally stolen in a similar manner.
The affected victims went to Kalundu Police Station and gave their statements and positively identify the accused as the ones who stole their phones, which were not recovered.
In mitigation, Musonda, a medical student, asked for forgiveness because he had learnt a lesson while in remand
I’ve seen how much my friends are in pain because they now know that freedom is important. I’ve lost my sister and I am the first born. If I go for a long time, my family will be in pain” he said.
The convict said his conduct was motivated by joining bad company saying “It’s just that the friends I met made me start doing bad things’,” Musonda said.
The court heard that Musonda is a third year student but never wrote exams.
“So, instead of studying you were duping people” the magistrate said.
On his part, Tembo equally asked for leniency, pledging never to re-offend because “I am not supposed to do bad things. I want to go back to school. I want to rewrite biology”.
“You want to join him(Musonda) after rewriting biology,” the magistrate queried.
The magistrate observed that the convicts were not fully remorseful for stealing students phones, which carry vital information.
She sentenced them to three years imprisonment each.
