The vision underlying the formation and activities of Dr-Save-A-Life-Foundation is one that symbolizes passion for health and longevity. And this comes at a time when the projected life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa is at its lowest ebb. It is, therefore, salutary that a foundation has answered the clarion call of working towards ensuring perfect health and improved life expectancy in Nigeria. The vision born and nurtured by a Nigerian, Dr Richard Okoye, underpins the latent intellectual resources which the Almighty has endowed on humanity across Nigeria. The foundation run by Dr Okoye has built state-of-the-art hospitals across Nigeria that offer excellent services reminiscent of the ones obtained in the West. It is also commendable that the foundation selected the Federal Polytechnic Nekede as a flagship for its paramedical mission.

Foremost among the adduced reasons for selecting polytechnic is the priority which the Rector, Engr Dr Michael Arimanwa, attaches to the health of the polytechnic community. It would be recalled that the Rector with his management team had in the past paid a working visit to the foundation’s hospital in Portharcourt where he embarked on a facility tour of the modern hospital. Two, the foundation appreciates the Rector’s drive for human capital development as evidenced in the robust linkage operations of the polytechnic. Three, the foundation identifies with the Rector in his massive developmental strides in the Federal Polytechnic Nekede that have beautifully redefined the landscape of the institution. Four, the foundation finds the polytechnic a home due to the hospitality of the Rector and his management team. Indeed, the country director of the foundation, Barr Austen Nnadi, elucidated this much as he also identified the group’s attachment to the polytechnic as being rekindled by the outstanding and admirable leadership style of the Rector, Engr Dr M.C Arimanwa.

Having visited the polytechnic the previous week to launch a specialized club, Dr-Save-A-Life Club, the group returned yesterday, November 25, 2021, to hold a most inspiring health seminar. The colloquium was geared towards making staff and students of the Federal Polytechnic paramedics who can respond to health emergency calls. This has become very necessary and urgent in view of the acute shortage of manpower in the health sector. Expectedly, the seminar turned out to become a huge success with vital takeaways.

First, the life expectancy of an average Nigerian is on the low side of 54. This is not different from the sordid reality across sub-Saharan Africa. When compared to most countries in the West and Asia with a life expectancy above 80, Nigeria’s situation is therefore a far cry. Unfortunately, this has been attributed to life style. The public has therefore been cautioned to reduce intake of processed foods in natural nutrients like fruits and vegetables that have minerals that build the body tissues.

Second, the Dr-Save-A-Life foundation has developed a first-of-its-kind application which could be downloaded from the Google play store at no cost. The digital application comes as an alternative doctor and health-guide for the user. It is also user friendly as it can be operated in many languages. Generally, the application offers the user a practical guide in treating varied life-threatening diseases where a doctor is not available.

Third, Nigerians spiritualize issues of health a great deal. In addition, they point accusing fingers at imaginary enemies when indeed they can visit the hospital to see a doctor. It is also ironical that people who feed and clothe well rather resort to prayers when they are ill than visit a doctor. This makes the usage of the foundation’s application vital. It is also hoped that come next year as promised, the foundation would build the first digital hospital in the world.

Four, there is need for massive investments in the health sector because health is actually wealth. The total budget of the country is till inadequate and may not be able to arrest the slide in the system. The World Health Organisation (WHO) for, instance, recommends one doctor to sixty hundred people but in reality the Nigerian situation is one doctor to six thousand people. The Federal Government has repeatedly said that it cannot afford the WHO recommended ratio. This grim reality has further been exacerbated by brain drain in the sector, making it imperative to imbibe the ideals professed by Dr-Save-A-Life Foundation.

Five, unmarried ladies should desist from the intake of the contraceptive drug, postinor-2 due to the repercussions it portends. The speaker at the seminar revealed that the drug is one of the major causes of fertility problems among married couples today. It is therefore pertinent for the unmarried to embrace chastity for the sake of the future.

Doctor-Save-A-Life foundation club which has been launched in Federal Polytechnic Nekede is open to all staff and students for further paramedical trainings. And since the country is in dire need of adequate manpower in the health sector, it behooves everyone to build capacity in an event of medical emergency.

Are you a Teacher of Office manager? This could be helpful. This will assist you in computing Continuous Assessment given in 100% to 40% while the Exam given in 100% is to be converted to 60%. Addition will give a result of 100%.

Using Microsoft excel to calculate results and make result sheet requires the knowledge of excel arithmetic formulas especially multiplication and addition.

Step 1
1. To convert continuous assessment 100% to 40%, multiply the cell by 0.4 e.g. D2 = B2*0.4
2. To convert examination score of 100% to 60%, multiply the cell by 0.6 e.g. E2 = C2*0.6
3. For total score in 100%, add the CA and the examination cells i.e. F2 = D2 + E2

Thank you.

Knowledge of how to use Microsoft Excel is much emphasized in recent times when new vacancies are posted in the area of Data and Office Management. Calculating percentage increase or decrease in yearly, monthly, weekly or daily data is what can be done smartly using the excel application.

Assuming we have a company having a profit of N1200 in the first year and N2,000 in the second year, that is an increment, while a profit of N1,800 in the third year is definitely a decrement. The percentage of the increase or decline goes a long way in making the right decision by the Company Management.
The procedure below simplifies the percentage increment.

The percentage change in profit from one year to another is calculated simply using the Excel formula bar by
1. Subtract the present year profit from the previous year
2. Divide the result by the previous year profit
3. Multiply the result by 100 and add a % symbol.

Zimbabweans suffer from a leadership that only thinks of itself. Even Kenya is not far from the same. In Uganda , a serving president appointed his wife a cabinet minister. When is this going to stop in Africa? I pray that God should single-handedly liberate AFRICA from OPPRESSORS.

Her Dad 62, step mum 34, about 28 years younger, what on earth will make her step mum go for her old dad in marriage? I'm sorry to say that.
Besides, does your friend even care about the future of her step-mum? I think things have gone wrong from the scratch, I don't see any reason why her young step-mum will not play infidelity in that relationship. But are they legally married? Well, tell your friend she needs to put herself in her step-mum's shoes, and advice her to quit the family.

SULLIVAN and FASHOLA  have something in common. barrister. No wonder they are vision-driven

Probably FASHOLA
A first time visitor to Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State dubbed the pacesetter state would not hesitate to notice filth and dirt of assorted shapes and sizes that lay ambush at the entrance of the ancient town from whichever angle one enters the state capital.   the entrance through the Lagos/Ibadan expressway, the Challenge as well as Apata which paired the town with Lagos/Ogun States show sign of a rudderless political enclave.

the Akala-Led government expended the N27 billion windfall which the government received in June to execute shoddy road repairs within the Ibadan metropolis. The government had in June received the N27 billion comprising of N13billion which accrued to the state from Paris Club accumulation and the N14billion oil windfall from the Federal Government.
