U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle has specially recognised Zahra Buhari for her work in promoting free genotype testing and genetic counselling as important early interventions in order to prevent sickle cell disease. He also commended Mrs. Oludolapo Osinbajo, wife of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, for promoting self-sufficiency of those who have the sickle cell disease.
He stated this on Monday, June 20 at the symposium on indigenous mapping and management of Sickle Cell Disease which was organized by Sickle Cell Foundation in partnership with US Embassy in Nigeria. His full speech below:
“Good morning. Thank you for coming today to support the Sickle Cell Aid Foundation. The foundation is improving awareness of the sickle cell trait to educate people on the choices they face in reproductive decisions when a parent has sickle cell. Also, thank you to Nkem Azinge, one of our very best and brightest Mandela Washington Fellows, for putting today’s event together. Nkem is very special to us, and a true fighter. A software engineer by day, Nkem and her family are dedicated to sickle cell awareness during their free time. Indeed, Nkem, her brother Olisa, and elder sister Asua have sickle cell. Her twin sister Nkechi does not, but heads the family foundation devoted to promoting sickle cell awareness and genotype testing. People such as Nkem and the entire Azinge family have worked very hard using their family experience to make life better for all Nigerians.
Today, I also wish to give special recognition to Ms. Zahra Buhari. As Nigerians are well aware, sickle cell has touched the first family. She personally promotes free genotype testing and genetic counselling as important early interventions in order to prevent sickle cell disease. I also wish to recognize Mrs. Oludolapo Osinbajo, wife of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. She ardently promotes self-sufficiency of those who have the sickle cell disease. Frequent hospitalizations, chronic pain, and fatigue make it difficult for sufferers to maintain jobs in the formal sector. Mrs. Osinbajo recognizes this and has focused on skills acquisition for sickle cell patients to compete better for work with flexible positions and as successful entrepreneurs. Additionally, she has demonstrated her strong commitment to genotype testing to support informed reproductive choices. The commitment of the highest levels of leadership within Nigerian society to genotype testing and awareness is impressive and a demonstration of their commitment to the Nigerian people. Your presence at the embassy is greatly appreciated.
Sickle cell disease affects millions of Nigerians, as well as an estimated 100,000 Americans. As a result of its large population and location, Nigeria has the largest population of people anywhere with the disorder. Tragically, more than 100,000 Nigerian children are born each year with sickle cell. Research indicates over 40 million Nigerians are carriers of the “S” gene. The foundation’s work is thus vitally important—education and testing—to ensure potential parents are more aware of the risks of passing sickle cell disease to their children.
I am proud and privileged that you selected the U.S. Embassy to hold this program. Today’s panels will contribute to the ongoing national effort to raise awareness about these issues. These are important discussions to have, and we are happy to host them on the 2016 World Sickle Cell Day. The United States is committed to treating sickle cell. Our Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta performs continued sickle cell research to understand the disease better, how best to mitigate its effects, and how best to control and treat it allowing sufferers to live full and productive lives. Moreover, last fall we awarded Nkem’s foundation a small public affairs grant of $4,600 to support the “Know Your Genotype” program. So we certainly are in solidarity with you and the Sickle Cell Aid Foundation’s long term goals.
The United States and Nigeria have a broad and deep partnership, and nowhere is that more the case than in the health sector. Indeed, if you add together all of the various U.S. health initiatives supported by several different health agencies here in Nigeria, we have one of our largest health partnerships anywhere in the world. And with that, let me turn the program back to Nkem so that the work of the panels can begin. Thank you.”

Dancehall songstress, Cynthia Morgan is in a tug of war with fans over a clip of her dancing seductively which she released on social media with the caption “dabbing for Christ”
Wearing a black leotard with a jacket and a cap, the ‘German Juice’ singer showed off her dabbing skills as she grooved to the song.
The video drew a lot of comments from her fans, who mainly poked fun at her dance skills.
However, some people were offended by her caption and didn’t hesitate to mercilessly drag her for claiming to be ‘dabbing for Christ’ in her sexy outfit.
Cynthia Morgan, who could not bear to see all the comments on her page, simply replied them with an epic clap back, saying she no longer has time to be angry at their comments and now prefers to pray they find happiness.

After spending nine months planning a surprise visit, a soldier made a quick return home from service to surprise his daughter in time for her high school graduation. Master Sgt. Derrick Morris was not due back from serving in Kuwait until September and he told his daughter, Camille Morris, he would not get to see her graduate.
Derrick however had another plan in mind. He arranged with the principle of his daughter’s school, Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego, to be able to surprise his little girl and keep it a secret.
When the day came, the sergeant made a huge entrance in front of the entire school and completely shocked her.
Camille burst into tears at the sight of her father and rushed to hug him. When asked how she felt afterwards, she said, ‘I didn’t want to let go, I wanted to hold on to him. It would’ve been a year in September since I’d seen him, probably would’ve missed my 18th birthday, too.’
Derrick Morris will now spend a few days together with his family before he returns back to Kuwait.
