deomeelo:Nice! But you forgot to add this bit:Dr. Babatunde Okewale MBBS, MRCOG(UK), MFFP(UK), FRCOG(UK) is also the owner of St. Ives Specialist Hospital, which is a multi-specialist hospital with three (3) branches in Lagos, Nigeria. With 8 specialist physicians, the hospital runs an In-Vitro Fertilization Program, which is directed personally by Dr. Okewale. St. Ives Specialist Hospital made history when it delivered a 60-year old woman, Mrs. Christie Omolara Orurhe, of a baby through in vitro fertilization on Monday 16th June 2014, thus becoming the oldest IVF mother in Africa. The IVF Unit of the hospital succeeded in aiding the conception and delivery of the baby, which has now equaled UK's record of IVF age delivery. The mother and child are in good health. Leading a team of medical professionals to carry out the process successfully- is the Chief Medical Director of St. Ives Specialist Hospital, Dr. Tunde Okewale, who expressed his joy at the feat. According to Dr. Okewale, physical condition of the mother, and not just age, is the major factor that determines the success or otherwise of conception and delivery through in vitro fertilization. https://www.stivesng.com/hospital/images/discount-lg16.png "We treated only after strict medical check of couples. For us, age is not important in our decision to take her on. What was important was the physical condition of the mother. Older women generally make better parents in our experience," Okewale said. |

Capt. Mrs. Bolaji Agbelusi, is a well-trained pilot. Under Aero Contractors, she became the first female pilot in West Africa, to have had a flight with all-female crew, also commanded by Agbelusi. She started as a pilot with Aero Contractors, but is now with Caverton Helicopters. Bolaji has been described as smart, intelligent and stands for social justice, transformation and social development in our country. https://www.helpmeetaneedngo.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/team-captain.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BHcDUZ7CUAApzF2.jpg While she was still with Aero Contractors, Agbelusi took command of the flight from Lagos at 11:55 hours and returned to Lagos, touching down at 14:28 hours to a grand reception, attended by Director General of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Harold Demuren in Lagos. She is the 8th woman pilot produced in Nigeria, the 5th female captain in Nigeria aviation industry, and the first female pilot in Africa to fly an all female crew. She started nursing the ambition of flying at age seven. Married to an Anglican priest for over a decade, she still keeps her home while actively flying. https://www.travelscopeng.com/photos3/fb5d9fdbab.jpg She joined Aero in 1998 as a second officer on the DHC-6n aircraft, and currently flies Bombardier Dash 8. Her Career began with her training at Versatile Aviation Inc, Ardmore , Oklahoma , USA in 1997. On returning to Nigeria and joining AeroContractors, she was trained on the DeHaviland Twin-Otter, prior to upgrading to the Bombardier Dash 8. She was later upgraded to the position of Commander on the Dash 8. "In our kind of environment this is certainly a difficult thing to achieve for a woman, this is an exciting and memorable day for me and my family - my husband and children - who also share in my joy", she had told journalists at her reception after the flight.https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/9e/81/11/9e8111ca3a839952702e77b89dee9e40--career-education-aero.jpg https://s3.scoopwhoop.com/anj/femalepilots_7/943406251.jpg __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Captain Tolulope Ita, is a 37 years old lady from Ogun State, married to an Akwa Ibom man. They have a family of seven. She schooled in Lagos & attended Igbobi Girls High School, and later proceeded to the University of Ilorin, where she got a degree in Computer Science after which she proceeded to the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) Zaria for flying courses and graduated as a pilot and started working with Aero Contractors. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CP8EwsyUsAE5QWU.jpg While in Aero, she did her Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) in the United States; that is a prequalification before becoming a captain, and it costs a lot of money; between $5,000 and $10,000. And also did some training in auditing as well as a course in Flight Operations Management and she is presently the Fleet Manager of the Dash-8 aircraft in Aero Contractors. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/05/mysteries-surrounding-flying-made-become-pilot/ My name is Tolulope Ita, Operations Manager of Aero Contractors. I am a Captain of the Dash 8 Aircraft and also integrated on the Boeing 737.

Captain Abimbola Jaiyeola made history when she became the first female helicopter captain in Nigeria, flying the Sikorsky S76 for Bristow helicopters Nigeria. She studied at Abeokuta Grammar School before proceeding to UNAAB for her first degree. She later went abroad and graduated from Bristow Academy in Florida, USA, in 2014, thereby becoming Nigeria’s first female helicopter pilot in December 2014. https://cdn.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Captain-Abimbola-Jayeola.jpg About a year after she was in the news again for saving 13 lives from a helicopter crash, after deciding to have an emergency landing on water. Jaiyeola flew the ill-fated Bristow helicopter that was ditched into the Atlantic Ocean, en route Lagos from Port-Harcourt, saving the nation the gory tale of another aviation industry disaster, by taking skillful and motherly responsibility for the lives aboard that helicopter. What she did, is called "ditching" in aviation circles. https://onobello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/175.jpg ”Ditching” is a controlled emergency measure to land an aircraft on water. Skybrary.com, an aviation website, describes it as "a manoeuvre that, by definition, cannot be practiced and may be extremely hazardous. It is only contemplated when no other realistic option remains in an emergency or, in the rotary case, imminent emergency situation.” Like an aircraft engineer puts it, “Ditching an aircraft is not a joke; it requires ‘plenty’ of bravery”. https://www.thecable.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Captain-Abimbola-Jayeola-2.jpg Abimbola tactically located the softest available landing spot - the ocean. The emergency notwithstanding, she did this in quite an adept manner that she did not crash, but landed as predetermined. Some others would have made a bad decision and struck the nation with tragedy. For this reason, Abimbola forever remains a heroine in the hearts of all who truly understand the dynamics of piloting an aircraft.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Captain Faith Odushola-Boegheim started flying 17 years ago, after studying in South Africa for three years. She is said to be Nigeria's first female Jet pilot. Odusola Boegheim is a fully certified airline captain on the Boeing 737. She began her career with Aero Contractors in 2002. She’s married to a pilot, and has a daughter. Growing up,her dream was to be a doctor. Being a pilot was her second choice, because her dad was a pilot. She believed her parents couldn’t afford to send her to aviation school, but apparently her father nurtured the hope that one of his kids, would follow in his footsteps. Before she knew it, he was making preparations for flying school. https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_200_200/p/2/005/09b/32a/1eb35e1.jpg ‘‘Flying is memorable. Nigerian airspace has improved a lot. It’s total freedom up there and you get to be yourself. When you are on the ground you go through more stress, that you look forward to flying. For me, that’s the best part of my job. When you land, passengers come in to congratulate you and take pictures with you because you are female. The feeling of having satisfied passengers is priceless.’’https://feminine.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Aero_Fly_Girls_2-e1471627223352.jpg [img]http://2.bp..com/-9vKGQtowasA/VQLhIpeTkTI/AAAAAAAABb4/WHE6uGBvXGg/s1600/B_-MaJ3VAAA-7rx.jpg[/img] |

NDEP not only has oil blocks, but they also wholly operates a mini-refinery at the same site, with a current slated capacity of 1,000 barrels per day, generating revenues of over USD 1 million, per month under Fatona's watch. |
kn23h:Hehehe....! You talk am well! I don't even want to talk too much now, because next thing, he and his cohorts will ban me. They derive such joy in banning my moniker. Yet his people that say far worse things get off, so lightly and are hardly ever banned! One day, another clown had used vile words on my moniker. I responded by tossing those same words he had used on me, back to him. Guess what? I got banned, the other chap got off scot free, and continued posting thrash for days. Na their way! See how he was calling for proof, and trying to claim he was defending his tribe, without being tribalistic. He thinks he is talking to toddlers, not so?

menmen20100:Keep kwayiet dia!! Even those of us from minority tribes, can see through this your fake lie.

deomelo:Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Well done, my guy!! Am amazed that there is so little information about this woman on the internet! Instead of our journalist & TV presenters to focus on such a blend of brains and courage, they end up showcasing slay queens, baby mamas and a lot of so-called rubbish celebrities! I pray she writes her biography without any delay! I salute her for being a pioneer!!

https://www.cmdesign-atelier.com/images/cmd_logo_new.png Oluwatosin Oshinowo-Akinkugbe is a bright, young architect, whose futuristic and cutting-edge architectural designs, are beginning to make the Nigerian corporate world, sit up and take notice. In 2012, she set up her own firm, cmDesign Atelier, an architecture design consultancy practice based in Lagos, executing notable projects in the city such as Maryland Mall, which opened in June 2016. https://futurecapetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TOSIN-OSHINOWO-1024x683.jpg Her journey into the world of architecture and design, started early in life, from following her father to construction sites. Her dreams to become an architect was inspired by looking at building plans her father brought home, while she was still in secondary school. She graduated as an architect and joined the Architecture Association, London. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Urban Design, from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College, London. https://futurecapetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/maryland-mall.jpg Before setting up her practice, she worked for international leading organizations such as Skidmore Owing & Merril’s LLP London and the Office of Metropolitan Architecture Rotterdam, where she was part of the team that designed the 4th Mainland Bridge proposal, in 2008. Upon relocation to Lagos, she practiced at James Cubitt Architects and was team lead on the master plan and Corporate Head Office Building for Nigeria LNG in Port Harcourt. https://futurecapetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OMA_4TH_MAINLAND_BRIDGE3-960x550.jpg This is an artist's impression of the proposed 4th Mainland Bridge. Her work on the proposed 4th Mainland Bridge, she said, was intense and futuristic. The team that designed the bridge included five other persons and took about 10 weeks to complete. When completed, the double-layer bridge would not only serve as means of vehicular movement, it would also aid social and commercial interactions among pedestrians.https://www.cmdesign-atelier.com/images/arch/project13/pic4.jpg?v=1503014766 I am from Ikorodu, and I recall how my parents made emotional investments, building houses in the village..... The thing is, I am part of the ongoing generation sent away for school, and then you come back home, and still hear the same things being said before you left. That was the reason our parents paid huge fees for us to study abroad. It was for us to bring back knowledge in whatever capacity, and give our own two cents back to society. Yes we have had some bad people who have abused this trust, so there are people who think locals can’t do things better than foreigners, but there are a few of us who still know what we are doing. So it’s nice to see that this client had enough faith to give us the opportunity to deliver on this project.https://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Tosin-Oshinowo-CMDesign-Atelier--600x400.jpg |

After working for SmithKline Beecham Plc as well as GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK) both in Nigeria and the UK, she relocated to Canada for a few years, where she set up her own pharmacy outlet in conjunction with a friend. Her outlet which was known as The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, grew quickly and was a hit with family and friends in Canada. After a while, her husband chose to move back to Nigeria, so she sold the business for a healthy profit, and came back home. https://techplus.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Jade-Adedeji-1.jpg The thought of going back into pharmacy did not seem too appealing, so she looked for other options. She found out that an American company called Brickz for Kidz wanted to set up shop in West Africa. They found a willing partner in Jade Adedeji, and she was promptly given the Nigerian franchise. Today, Jade runs Brickz for Kidz, an after-school programme that takes learning beyond the classroom, and allows kids to broaden their education in a non-traditional setting. They teach subjects like Robotics and Advanced Robotics classes!

Now, Jade Adedeji has switched careers to become a technology coach. Her company started the programme in January 2014 with about 5 schools, but today 12 schools have signed up for the programme. About 700 children attend the after-school programme, and the holiday camps they run. This is a hands-on class where students build machines, buildings, vehicles and other structures out of LEGO bricks, using one-of-a-kind model plans designed by Bricks 4 Kidz. https://bricks4kidz.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/June-Camp.png While exploring principles of engineering, architecture, physics and more, pupils develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. The kids are taught how to build a new project each week. Each class begins with a teacher-led discussion related to the day’s model. Once the project is completed, children use the rest of their time, to expand their gadgets and collaborate with one another. Their students work in a lab-type setting using LEGO components such as gears, axles and beams. Instructional content is multi-disciplinary and designed by educators to increase pupils’ general knowledge and introduce S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) concepts related to the day’s model. Jadesola Adedeji is passionate about children's education and she constantly seeks to teach people, how transformations in global education, are linked to rising costs, mental health, career choices & acquiring non traditional skills, that in today's world! Jade Adedeji the enterprising daughter of Bashorun Ogunmiloro, is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that today's parents get the message! https://wimbiz.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/May-roundtable-box_Jade.jpg |

kn23h:Hehehe.... I believe he is Yoruba, but he just has a different way of thinking. One thing I have learnt about Yorubas over the years, is their ability to tolerate divergent views. They don't follow one perspective or person, sheepishly or blindly. They firmly believe respect, has to be earned. And if you can persuade them with superior logic, they are ready to shift position to accommodate a better way of thinking, or a better way of doing things. I hope I am making sense. And I hope my views have not offended anyone. I was just thinking aloud. ![]() |
ModsWillKillNL:Egbon, I don't just believe it - I have literally seen real examples of it, happening live! ![]() |
Johnandv:Look at this one! You are so funny. Is it all the Igbo living in the Southeast, from Onitsha, Awka, or Atani to Arondizuogu or from Mbaise to Egbema, that can feed properly?? |
ModsWillKillNL:Haba!! ![]() |

But you forgot to add this bit:
Yet his people that say far worse things get off, so lightly and are hardly ever banned! One day, another clown had used vile words on my moniker. I responded by tossing those same words he had used on me, back to him.
Am amazed that there is so little information about this woman on the internet!
I pray she writes her biography without any delay! I salute her for being a pioneer!!
