In Nigeria, an estimated 20%–30% of our population is believed to suffer from mental disorders. (Onyemelukwe C. Stigma and mental health in Nigeria: Some suggestions for law reform. J Law Policy Glob 2016; 55:63-8.) This is a very significant number considering Nigeria has an estimated population of over 200 million.

Melania Trump embarked on her first solo trip to Africa; a five-day tour of Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt. It was an opportunity for Melania to promote her “Be Best” campaign, which focuses on children’s health and well-being.

Melania faced a lot of criticism and backlash for her decision to wear…

Back in 2008, Taylor wrote on a website called MySpace, “Republicans do it better”.

Now, he has been nominated to the Supreme Court. And a lot of accusations of sexual assaults have sprung up. One of the focus groups in favor of Kavanaugh…

You are probably going to give the generic response – “it is doing amazingly well.”. So, don’t answer the question just yet. I remember reading one of J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter Series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone;  a boy who learns on his eleventh birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. I read the 223 paged book in about 31/2 hours. I…

At their Inauguration, one had Beyoncé whereas the other had Toby Keith. Despite the overwhelming evidence to the Contrary, the ‘Tweeter’ claimed he pulled the highest inauguration crowd in History. While the ‘Leader’ spent his first day in office adjusting the activities in the white house, letting the staff know they are actually here to serve and that it is not business as usual, and speaking to foreign leaders, the ‘Tweeter’ spent his first day…
