The Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria’s building, located opposite Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH Idiaraba, Lagos, reveals quite an amazing therapeutic ingredient the art possesses.
vanguard Right from the reception, you are welcome with very colourful assorted visual art expressions displaying diverse subjects and messages. The works which range from beautiful landscapes, human forms, objects, etc., make you feel at ease immediately and gradually, get you drawn towards each piece thereby, calming earlier uneasy feelings about hospital environment.
That’s the power of art! It’s even more exciting to know that the works were produced by children who were encouraged to paint away their pain while in hospital; an exercise which became quite remedial for them.

“In an upcoming foreign policy piece, Dr Robert Rotberg and I will argue that Nigeria is a failed state.” That is a 6 May, 2021 tweet from John Campbell, a former United States Ambassador to Nigeria. It should worry all who know that this came from Campbell, author of ‘Nigeria: Dancing on the Brink’ published in 2010. In that book, Campbell argued that “a complete collapse” of Nigeria could be forestalled – and he made suggestions. The same Campbell has now come up with a definite position of failure of Nigeria as we know it. On the same May 6, 2021, the ex-envoy made a blog post in which he wrote about “something of a consensus” forming “among Nigerian elites…that the country is in deep trouble and that radical options must be considered.” He was not definite or sure about what the ‘radical options’ are – probably because there are no ‘good’ options.
Mrs Stephanie S. Sullivan, United States Ambassador to Ghana, has joined Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to outdoor a new US Government food security strategy.
The US Global Food Security Strategy for Ghana (GFSS), a five-year interagency effort aims at increasing agricultural productivity, improve nutrition, and raise household incomes for millions of Ghana’s agricultural workers.
A statement issued by the US Embassy in Accra, copied to the Ghana News Agency, said the first activity was expected to attract $261 million in private sector financing to boost Ghanaian agribusiness.
It said Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, Minister of Food and Agriculture, also attended the virtual launch along with representatives of financial, agricultural, government, and private sector stakeholders.
