I read a story about Mrs Gowon, she was a nursing science student at UCH. One day she fell sick, and it was exams period. She abandoned her treatment, left where she was admitted and was forcing herself to write exams, when the renowned Professor Akinkungbe
(former VC of both UI and ABU) was informed! The Prof was angry, he sent for her and scolded her for taking such risk "You silly young girl" go back for proper treatment, your health is more important, we'll arrange for your exams later! The girl was very appreciative, she later got married to the Head of State, Yakubu Gowon!

One day as first lady, she was on official visit to the same UCH, and all the management staffs including Professor Akinkungbe lined up to welcome the first lady. As she was greeting them one by one on the line, she got to where Prof was standing."Sir, do you remember me"? Yes I do your Excellency! Prof responded " That your silly young girl" the first lady said with excitement, she went down on knees, just as she used to do when she was a student. " Thank you so much sir" Prof also bowed in respect, " Welcome your Excellency"

"Life is just like that"

Only God knows tomorrow🤷🏽‍♂️
*Treat everyone with courtesy*.

*Be concerned about the well-being of others*

Above all " be humble all the time most especially at the highest point" when the pride of office is always over us"

(Adapted from: Autobiography of Prof Ladipo Akinkugbe)

May God guide us to the right paths , right people and protect us.

IMPOTANCE OF FRUITS IN DIET
Fruits are one of the oldest forms of food known to man. In fact, Adam, the first man ate an apple, the 'forbidden fruit' of heaven. There are many references to fruits in ancient literature. Vedas state that the fruits form the base of the food of Gods. According to Quran, the fruits like grape, date, fig, olive and pomegranate are the gifts and heavenly fruits of God.
The people in ancient times regarded fruits to be endowed with magic, or divine properties. They gave them due reverence and dedicated them to their gods and goddesses. They also used their designs in decorating temples, vestments or ceremonial garment and sacred vessels. Flesh and dry fruits are the natural staple food of man. They contain substantial quantities of essential nutrients in a rational proportion. They are excellent sources of materials, vitamins and enzymes. They are easily digested and exercise a cleansing effect on the blood and the digestive tract. Person's subsisting on this natural diet will always enjoy good health. Moreover, the ailments caused by the intake of unnatural foods can be successfully treated by fruits. Fresh and dry fruits are thus not only a good food but also a good medicine. TO BE CONTD.
