There is an old African Proverb that I love:
“A cat that dreams of becoming a lion must lose its appetite for rats.”
To achieve greatness, you must let go of old habits that could hold back your progress.

Following verification through the appropriate regulatory channels, the name “Mary Habila,” as stated, does not appear on the database of registered physiotherapists.
This development underscores why it is essential that public officials, especially those occupying the highest levels of government, exercise due diligence before presenting or associating individuals with regulated professions. Public office carries with it a responsibility to ensure that information placed before Nigerians is accurate and verifiable.
The Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (NSP) has consistently maintained that professional identity is not a matter of assumption or public perception, it is a matter of verifiable fact. Where questions arise, they should be resolved through the appropriate regulatory processes, not through speculation or unverified claims.
We trust that this clarification will guide subsequent discussions and remind all stakeholders that the integrity of regulated professions must be respected. The public deserves accuracy, and professionals deserve to have their qualifications and identities represented truthfully.
Finally, while it is important to establish the facts, we must not lose sight of the human tragedy at the heart of this matter. We extend our sincere condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of the deceased, and pray that her soul rests in perfect peace. May they find strength and comfort during this difficult time.

The chillax effect that follows a cardio exercise session required for you is priceless.
Believe it or not, intentional and structured physical activity is one of the best if not the best medicine.

Senior bro remains an investment guru to emulate. New Nigeria is Possible.
Investing in Our Future Healthcare Professionals
Yesterday, I returned to the Mother of Mercy College of Nursing Sciences, Mbutu-Okohia, Ngor-Okpala, Imo State, fulfilling the promise I made when I capped their pioneer nursing students a few weeks ago. I also supported the institution with ₦10 million to aid its ongoing development.
I reminded the students that the world is projected to face a serious shortage of healthcare workers by 2030, highlighting the global importance of the course they are studying. Their training places them among the most relevant professionals of the future.
I encouraged them to see themselves as global citizens, guided by what I call the Indian spirit—to excel anywhere in the world while remaining connected to home. No matter where destiny takes them, they must not forget Nigeria.
My support for the College stems from my desire to see young Nigerians succeed. Money has real value only when it uplifts those who need assistance. These students are important, their future is bright, and they will become great contributors to society.
The institution has already recorded major milestones, including full accreditation from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria and the commencement of the Basic Nursing Programme with a dedicated academic team. Their vision of expanding access to quality nursing education remains commendable.
I again commend the DMMM Congregation for its sustained investment in education and healthcare. Faith-based institutions continue to strengthen our social and moral foundations. I urged the students to embrace discipline, compassion, and integrity, as nurses remain the backbone of every functional healthcare system.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Exercise straight-up works better than antidepressants for a lot of people. Therapy helps. Pills sometimes help. But intentional, tailored physical activity [sweat] rewires the brain chemistry in ways nothing else touches. Exercise is medicine, believe it or not! Challenge you

Gunmen invaded his house in Nissi community, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna state on October 28, 2025. The gunmen later contacted the family demanding N600 million ransom.
Incessant killings and abductions for ransom — and the stunning failure of the authorities to end them and bring suspected perpetrators to justice have been and continues to be a threat to the right to life in Nigeria.
Government, at all levels, is increasingly failing in its constitutional and international human rights obligations to protect lives and ensure accountability for all human rights abuses and violations.
