In 1961, something unheard of before happened.
A Russian surgeon who was stationed at the military base in Antarctica had appendicitis.
He was the only Doctor and surgery was the only solution.
Due to the harsh weather at that time, he could not be evacuated.
His name was Leonid Rogonov, he was 27 years.
He instructed the non medics in camp to bring a mirror and light sources.
He injected himself, he opened his belly, put his hand to locate his intestines himself. Used the mirror to located the appendix.
He cut the appendix and sewed himself back together.
This operation lasted 2 hours, it was successful. He took time off to rest and in 2 weeks he was perfectly fine and back to work.
He later died 39 years later of Cancer of the lungs at 66 years.
Karolina Krzyzak... Her own was an extreme form of vegetarianism, known as fruitarianism.
She followed a strict "fruitarian" diet, consuming only raw fruits and refusing cooked or processed foods for an extended period.
Eating only fruits will make anyone miss out on critical nutrients like Vitamin B12, iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc. Over time, this can lead to anemia, weakened immunity, and bone density issues. Their food will also lack adequate protein and calories. She died last year.
Humans are not designed for vegetarianism. It doesn't make sense.
One of the fascinating stories about Baba ws that he transitioned from being a Non Academic staff to academic in Obafemi Awolowo University by getting admission to study Dramatic Arts- and, I think, his son was even a year ahead of him.
He became a lecturer & rose to the very pinnacle of his academic career.
Those who have never seen him on stage didn't see the best of him. Cameras did not do him enough justice.
He played Kabiyesi in Soyinka's DEATH & THE KING'S HORSEMAN at a command performance in Oduduwa hall & someone missed his lines. He didn't even skip the expression on his face to recover to get the dialogue back in.
A worthy Ife Alumnus, a consummate thespian & a man of culture.
E Sun re o, Baba.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Kola Oweyo, a legendary thespian and scholar of African drama.
His iconic role as King Lapite in the timeless "Saworoide" immortalised his immense talent and teachings.
A great void has been left in Theatre Arts.
He will be sorely missed by lovers of African stories worldwide.
I join his family and fans in mourning this exceptional dramatist and teacher of social conscience. May his soul rest in peace. -AA
Sad to hear of the passing of veteran actor, Chief Kola Oyewo. A true icon of Nigerian theatre and cinema, he graced our screens with unforgettable performances in Saworoide as Oba Lapite, The Gods Are Not to Blame, Sango, Koseegbe, and many other classics. He was 80 years old.
May his soul rest in peace.

And CAF banned them for missing the game they were heading to after they were shot and some of them killed.
Africans institutions have always been plagued by bad leadership.
A Black man scoring the first goal of the 2026 World Cup to silence the African continent’s most hostile nation towards Black foreigners is absolutely poetic. Thank you, Mexico! 🇲🇽
IT IS LITERALLY STUPID TO HATE ON YOUR OWN AFRICAN BROTHERS.
SEE HOW OTHER BLACKS DECIDED TO STAND WITH MEXICO.
THIS SHOULD BE A LESSON TO THE ILLITERATES CHAMPIONING XENOPHOBIA.
WE SHOULD BE UNITED NOT DIVIDED.
YOU can beat other blacks in your country but can’t even represent the country in a big stage.
Piece of shit.
I can't stand like this infront of my children in the house, I have to get a house coat, how much more to whole world? Why? Why? 😢
It is getting too much, ejor. Nudity is not fashion.
Unless they see results, people won't believe you tried.
The world judges effort by its outcome. If you win, you worked hard. If you don't, maybe you didn't try hard enough. That is the verdict, fair or not.
But effort and results are not the same currency. A man can give everything and still come up empty. The ground does not always reward the farmer who worked it hardest.
This is what makes failure lonely in a way that success never is. The person who succeeds gets witnesses. The person who tried and failed stands alone with something nobody can verify and most people won't bother to believe.
Try anyway.
Respect peoples choices, we are all adults
If you lead with insults, you will be insulted too.
No one is feeding each other Here, even if you are feeding me na your food you go comot.
Nobody has a monopoly of madness, Respect works both ways.
None of your candidates and politicians are Saints, None of them! No messier anywhere amongst them but at least we choose the best of the lots based on performance and individual assessments.. That choice is God given and must be respected in every public domain.
Sell your candidates, highlight what they will do differently, Give people the opportunity to choose based on their convictions and not insults otherwise what you dish out you will get back in manifolds. It's the simple law of nature
We all have the capacity to think and reason , Be objective and criticise constructively. That's basic common sense
During my IT I went to stay with my Uncle and his family.
The wife was a Banker.
One night I heard him telling the wife that the Canada process is taking so much from him
Mentally and financially.
She said she got the house.
He should just focus on other stuff
After that night,we started eating good 😊
Not like we weren’t eating good,but she made sure he knew that she meant it when she said she got the house.
They are all in Canada now.
I’ll never understand the concept of not letting your wife work.
Makes no sense to me.
Very simple. He should realise that lions and grey wolves will never come across each other in real life. He would then realise it's a dream and wake up.
My experience with my boy moving in my wife’s stomach.
We were excited when he started moving and I was always happy to feel him by touching my wife’s stomach.
One day he moved too much and caused pain for my wife. She then tapped her stomach as though she was spanking him and said he should stop moving.
Omo, that’s how he didn’t move for about 5 days. We started begging him to move.
We were so worried that we had to go to do scan to make sure he was fine.
We literally begged him to move. After a while he started moving again, that’s when we were relieved.
Mind what you say to your babies while in the womb.
The people that want to cancel Olamide are in their third generation now.
Their father’s uncle tried it first. He don focus on him family now, carrying load for Kampala, finally earning an honest living.
Their papa tried it too. He dey Cyprus now, coordinating entry and exit at a hospital as assistant security personnel, no time for social media.
The pikin is carrying the torch today. He will soon hand it over to his own children, and they will inherit the family trade.
In that same stretch of time, Olamide evolved from a hit maker, to a hit maker with hit makers, to a business leader who makes hits alongside his hit makers who are now bonafide business leaders in their own right.
Everyone in the loop found their calling.
