An NGO-run Hospital, Noma Children Hospital has currently invited a TEAM of Surgeons From Europe to come and work on about 170 patients, a routine excercise done quarterly.

Though the hospital is doing a lot in working on these patients, sometime not all of them get worked upon and thus sent back home for future TEAM! Why am I writing all these?

The recent reunion of the duo of the former president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and his estranged vice-president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a welcome development no matter what people say. It is good for our nascent democracy and the country as whole. The era of political bitterness should be dispensed with. This is part of what the two elder statesmen have set out to achieve. Other politicians across the land separated by political differences should emulate the two elder statesmen to allow for genuine reconciliation. Politics should not be played with the usual hatred that has characterized the political arena all these years. It is not a do-or-die affair. Tolerance and should be encouraged in our polity. The simple fact that one has a political disagreement with another is not enough reason to be enemies forever. One must commend the former vice president for succumbing to pressure to sheathe the sword to allow for reconciliation between him and his former boss. Considering the enormou...
