HELEN KELLER DAY 2022: LIONS CLUB DISTRICT 404A1 IKORODU ORGANISE AWARENESS WALK, SUPPORTS NIGERIA ASSOCIATION OF BLIND IKORODU BRANCH WITH WELFARE PACKAGES ®™√ INN Nigeria © 666555447E26287125271663069909. According to the story detailed by Lion Folashade Sanni Lawal, In 1925, Lions Club International featured Helen Keller as the guest speaker. Through her interpreter, Helen Keller challenged the Lions to constitute themselves as "Knight of the Blind" in a crusade against blindness. As a result, Lions Clubs International sponsors thousands of the blind and visually impaired around the world each year. The story manifested itself on June 1st 2022 as members of Lions club District 404A1 Ikorodu made do the injunction made by the late Helen Keller, reaching out to the blind folks across Ikorodu division. It started with an awareness walk, conveying to residents the need to support the visually impaired individuals within the communities, taken off from Homat group of schools along Igbogbo road, stretching Bashorun avenue down to Adeboruwa's palace and ending at Talabi Crescent in Igbogbo. Ably led by Lion Folashade Sanni Lawal, Chairperson Helen Keller Day 2022 chaperoned by an incoming district governor, Lion Anogwi Anyanwu, the walk with the visually impaired folks down to the blind community was afterwards followed by a one on one talk with Lion Taiwo Amoo, chairman Nigeria association of blinds Ikorodu branch, who is also visually impaired. Incoming DG, Lion Anyanwu Anogwi in his brief remark urged clubs to infuse more projects for the visually impaired into their calender in order to impact more lives around the community, adding that 'loss of sight is not a loss of life'. Lion Taiwo Amoo who was Vice President of Lagos Central Lions Club and Charter President Lagos Legend Lions Club noted to all members present that Lion's code of behaviour has kept him striding while using the forum to thank the club for their perpetual support. Lion Kola Oyekanmi who spoke on the Call to Service the Blind emphasised different ways the visually impaired society can be carried along in daily activities. Lion Kola stated, "The most important thing you can do for a blind person, or any person, is to be friendly, include them socially and engage in conversation with them". "Communicate clearly with them because of their inability to interpret body language, it is very important to communicate plainly with your words when speaking to people who are blind" "When you want to communicate with them, speak to them, not the person they are with. There is nothing that frustrates blind people more than people thinking they are non-verbal or incapable of having a conversation". "Non-sighted people do not enjoy being treated as if they are incompetent, so speak directly to them, rather than their companion". Lion Kola asserted While donating white canes and lots of food items to the course which was administered by Lion Anogwi Anyanwu, Lion Folashade Sanni Lawal further expressed her profound gratitude to the entire Lions club of District 404A1 for their overwhelming support in making the Helen Keller day 2022 a success, acknowledging their aid with accredited badge presentation. Music performance was later bestowed by the Pain and Pleasure band (group of blind musicians).

ADEBOLA AKIN-BRIGHT: LAGOS ASSEMBLY REVEALS MORE ABOUT DOCTOR WHO PERFORMED SURGERY, WRITES POLICE COMMISSIONER, COMMITTEE BROADENS INVESTIGATION ®™√ INN Nigeria © img 20230922 wa00194052512174661337085 The chairman of the Lagos Assembly ad-hoc committee with the mandate to investigate the circumstances that led to the disappearance of Adebola Akin-Bright's small intestine, Hon. Noheem Adams, has told his colleagues that the doctor who performed surgery twice on the boy is not a qualified surgeon. This is as the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, during plenary on Thursday, directed the Clerk, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, to write to the State police command for the arrest of Dr. Abayomi Baiyewu of Obitoks Hospital in the Alimosho area of Lagos. Adebola died on Tuesday shortly after the House called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to further assist him seek treatment abroad. While thanking Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his effort at the period the boy was being treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Speaker Obasa directed that a letter conveying the condolence message of the House be sent to the family. Dr. Obasa further asked the committee to look into other grey areas including inviting officials of the Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) which has the law-backed responsibility to monitor private hospitals operating in the State. The Speaker further asked the committee to review the extant law so as to know if it should be amended just as he said private hospitals can be made to always report their activities to the government at all times. Formally announcing Adebola's death, Hon. Adams said the boy's case was disheartening. He said when the committee visited him on Tuesday, he still spoke with the lawmakers. He, however, said during investigation, the committee learnt from Dr. Baiyewu that he is not a surgeon but only relied on his experience as a medical doctor. He also said Baiyewu, whose testimonies were recorded, told the committee that he did not carry out any medical examination on the boy before the first surgery which he did himself adding that he only relied on the report from a hospital the patient was first taken to. Noheem said after Baiyewu did the first surgery, the boy continued to complain about stomach pain and was taken back to Obitoks Hospital where Baiyewu carried out another round of surgery by himself. Following more complications, Hon. Noheem said the boy was taken to LASUTH where it was confirmed that part of his intestine was missing. The lawmaker said as a doctor, Baiyewu should have taken the excised part of the boy's body to a pathological department for test, but that "Dr. Baiyewu told the committee that the body parts were mistakenly discarded," and that the doctor had planned to do a third surgery before the boy was taken to LASUTH. After Noheem's submission, the House commiserated with the bereaved family with Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda calling for the sealing of the hospital. Another member of the committee, Hon. Lawal Aina, told his colleagues it was a pitiable sight when the committee visited Adebola at the hospital. He added that upon interrogation, it was discovered that Dr. Baiyewu proved not to have been a certified surgeon. Some of the lawmakers who spoke on the issue, suggested that a formal complaint be made against Dr. Baiyewu to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria for action while others urged stricter monitoring of medical doctors and hospitals.
