A Poem In Honour Of My Friend, Florence Okon On Her Birthday.



She Celebrates Plus One today(25/08/2014)


Time flies, the world moves,

The earth revolves about its axis,

but the Supreme remains, Unperturbs, unstruggle,

But statically dynamic.



We move, live and stay,

Oh with the Nature, she is gentle, calm and quiet,

Calculative in creating boundaries,

The boundaries that set the peace, and the stability of human race.



Just Plus One, yes Plus One, long long time ago,

Still fresh like yesterday,

Deep in the innermost of Mum and Dad,

Wao, painfully laboured with peace, fulfillment and commitment,

But with deep appreciation,

For the gift of a star, princess, queen, …



Yes I saw her, I saw  her, I saw her,

Oh God, she has come like manna to bless her generation,

So beautiful, pure and innocent,

Welcome by the mother earth into this chaotic world,

But with a mission to bring gentility in this perplexity,

Oh my little angel, princess, queen,

Exclaimed by the bearer.


Oh I look from a distance,

Now tell me, what do you see?

Hmmm! Prosperous, flourishing with much dedication,

Yes! Firm with her decision,

She says, always, “I follow my heart positively to great accomplishment”,

Yes! She is Plus One today, I love and admire,

So young and tough a lady, born to change,

Yes! To change humanity,

Wonderful, knowing you as a friend,

though at a distance.



Looking for space, oh so much, so much, so much,

how can I express her attributes?

You oh paper and pen,

You have no space and ink for this,

Oh my dear, though far from your presence,’

I pray, good health, heart fulfillment,’

Love, cherish by family and friends,

Happy Birthday at Plus One today,

Loving and cherishing you, Florence.

Paul Umoren.
25/08/2014.

Ebola Virus On Point :Anglican Primate suspends handshake during Communion

The Primate of the Church Of Nigeria Anglican Communion the Most Revd Nicholas Okoh on Sunday suspended shaking of hands during communion. He also said the church would from September roll out measures to its faithful as pre-conditional measures to ward off the rampaging Ebola virus.

This is aimed at preventing the spread of the disease- if it exists- through physical contact. “Communicants adhered strictly to this instruction while receiving the communion in th...

Let's help save the life of Nigerian doctor who got infected by Sawyer

Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (pictured above) is a Senior Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist at First Consultant Hospital in Lagos where late Liberian Patrick Sawyer was diagnosed with the deadly Ebola disease. She was one of those who diagnosed and was treating Sawyer at First Consultant before he died. Unfortunately she was infected by Sawyer. Her colleagues put her pic and case out at a press conference on Thursday, appealing to the U.S Govt to urgently send whatever treatment they have for the Ebola virus to Nige ria to save her life and that of other Nigerians at risk of the disease.  Her colleague Mr Okubadejo said on Thursday; “She treated Sawyer because she was patriotic only for her to be infected with the virus. I am appealing to the U.S. government to send whatever medication they have to Nigeria fast to save Adadevoh. She does not deserve to die. So, this is the reason for this appeal,” I heard Dr. Adadevoh was one of those who refused to let Sawyer lea...
