Life in Akwa Ibom

-




 Living in Akwa Ibom has been a wonderful, one thing that stands out in this land is it peaceful nature.

Akwa Ibom is a land of promise, and I am happy to associate with it, even though I am was not born in this land, it has nurtured me.



My parents are from the East, from Anambra precisely,of which I am happy to associate with, my dad also maigrated to the North and started business there, of which my mum joined him, due to insecurity crises they left and settled in Akwa Ibom, particularly in Eket, popularly known as the oil city.

I attended both primary and secondary school in Akwa Ibom, before going to the East for my University education.



I can say with confidence that Akwa Ibom has a bright future, and with the mantra of "Akwa Ibom Dakadda", it is a clarion call for all to arise to greatness.

Celebration of 33years is no small feat, Akwa Ibom has birthed lot of bright stars and heroes, there are wonderful infrastructures built in the state. Akwa Ibom may soon become the land where investors will flock together. With the airport, a potential seaport in Oron, Stadium, E-library and others.



It is said the largest room is the room for improvement, Akwa Ibom still has a lot to do, particularly in providing decent jobs for the youths, it is painful that most indigene are motorcycle riders, and yet Akwa Ibom is an oil producing state. There is need to look critically at the welfare of the people.

I have learnt to speak the Ekid language and communicate with it, though not an expert, the beautiful delicacies like Afang soup, Editan soup and others, is indeed something to relish.



We pray for the land and its prosperity.

God bless Akwa Ibom.

God bless Nigeria.


Cheers!!!

LIFE IS A JOURNEY

Life is in phases, starting from the childhood stage, the adolescence stage, the youth stage and finally the adult stage. There is a common Igbo adage which says: ‘ Mgbe onye ji tete ura bu ututu ya.’ When translated to English language it says: ‘whenever one wakes up, that is his morning.’ Your beginning starts whenever you are ready; it is a personal race not a competition.   Life should be cherished and lived to the fullest; in the spirit of love, hope and faith. There are different perspectives to life. It encompasses all   classes of men in life: the poor and the rich, the educated and non-educated, those in trials and tribulations and those having a smooth journey. We look at life in reality and in truth, it hopes to reveal facts; and helps us to appreciate the beauty of life and get along on the right track while travelling through the journey of life. We can ponder on the bitter truths in life and on issues to aid our cognitive abilities to explore these fa...

PHARMACIST'S OATH: MY REFLECTIONS.

How time flies, the good news is that you are the pilot. I wrote this three years ago on my Facebook page and decided to post it on my blog. "I picked out my Pharmacist's oath to ponder on its contents, just like the 10 commandments, there was 10 "I shall" in the oath." The second 'I shall' is very delicate and demanding and it quotes: "I shall apply the full measure of my knowledge,  skills and abilities to improving the health and well being of all those I serve and place their needs above my personal interest and considerations" You may understand better if you do night calls,  after  and vigorous day duty and your body calls  for rest, when the patient comes knocking your sleep should give way for immediate attention to the patient. Today,3rd November, 2017 will be one year since I took the oath before many witnesses  and I thank God for the journey so far... I went to the Chapel to take it before God of whom I rely to fulfill the oath ...

MY DECISIONS

Sometime last year, I paid a visit to an elderly man whose son came to the pharmacy to get him some medications. I could understand what this man would be passing through, so I decided to go see him. When I arrived at the place he directed me to, I gave him a call in order to confirm the house. When I got in, I saw the man sitting; saliva was drooling from his mouth, he also urinated there and the son went ahead to clean it up. I asked to see his medications and the bag of drugs was brought. I found out he had not been taking his medications and had also resorted to herbal drinks which were bought at exorbitant prices by the woman he lived with. You will get to understand later.🙂 Among those of his children present, none was medically inclined. The good thing was that the daughter was an undergraduate student of Food and Nutrition, so we flowed together in the dietary management of her dad; of which he was doing excellently well. The son also helped in his exercise by taking him out v...
