    Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, victim of a world poisoned by man (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I could not imagine how much of our planet had become poisoned by us its guests, until that day in 1979 when my maternal grandmother invited me to see something she had noticed in her right breast. I was 29, just one year out of national youth service. My heart sank, for I suspected it could be a cancerous growth. It was a ball, immovable and modular, the sort of thing we always read about in foreign journals. It was as if I had gazed into a crystal ball when an oncologist at the Lagos Universit

    Another season of over firing and burning brain (2) (opens the original)

    The knee and thigh long sweater I wore over my top dress on 2 September did not warm me up enough against the barometric cold of this rain season as did the eruptions in Abuja of Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister. Fear of the political unknown is a major cause of misfiring, overfiring and burning brains in this, as in any election season. In the first part of this series, I explained how a tumultuous season such as this one may cause free radical molecules in the brain to

    I sat on the middle edge of a birthing bed in one of the labour rooms of Duro Soleye Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, on July 30, 1989. My heart was pounding. My memory was connecting to August 5, 1959 when my mother bled to death in a Lagos labour room about three kilometers away. The baby in the womb of the woman beside me tended to be oblivious of my plea that he be born as quickly and as peacefully as possible. He appeared to be enjoying himself in that safe, warm world in which responsibilities did

    Scholarly Scientists told humanity last week that the Earth has expended half of its lifespan and had about one billion more years to live. There are suggestions, though, that what this means is that the Earth is only half way through with the motherly support it can give us human beings to live off her. In more graphic terms, it means that when our time as humans on earth is finally due, she will wean us off her breasts, we would then go to wherever we deserve to be, alive or dead, and she will
