#HNNImpact A Piece of HISTORY DIED in #Nigeria 8/19/14: Stella Ameyo Adadevoh Great-Granddaughter of HERBERT MCCaulay

Many people don't know this but pls wake up Nigerians. Ameyo Adadevoh, my childhood family friend who most Nigerians now know as the doctor that treated Patrick Stewart to contain his Ebola disease not only saved Nigeria as a HERO that prevented this disease Ebola to quickly ravage our country but was also the great grand-daughter of Herbert McCaulay, the face of the now obsolete N1 note. McCaulay was considered by many as the face and founder of Nigerian Nationalism.

I wrote on Facebook: We have to get all Nigerian doctors back to work as Prof Chukwu has now told BBC they were not FIRED and they just don't wanna work. I have appealed on MITV 3 weeks ago!!
Pls SAVE Nigeria.
Ameyo had a NAME! 
She was renowned Physician Professor Adadevoh's daughter and Herbert McCaulay's Great Grand Daughter

Read about her father Prof Adadevoh's life here. He was Herbert McCaulay's grandson and Nigeria's most famous doctor for all I care. These were people we learned in history as kids. McCaulay if you really knew your Nigerian centenary history was the grandson of Bishop Ajayi Crowther. The Adadevoh children were FAMOUS Nigerians on both sides. Read below:  

Her dad who I spoke about as my treating doctor for my traumatic event at 13, Dr Babatunde Kwaku Adadevoh was a leading metabolic physician in Nigeria. He was born in Lagos, Nigeria, the second of the six children of Julius Gordon Kwasi Adadevoh, a company director and accountant from the Royal House, Anyako, Ghana, and Sarah Abigail Idowu Adadevoh née Macaulay), daughter of the Nigerian nationalist Herbert Macaulay.

He was educated at the Baptist Academy and Igbobi College, Lagos, and then, on a Federal Government of Nigeria scholarship, studied medicine at University College, Ibadan, and the University of Birmingham. He held house posts in Birmingham, at the General Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and then went on to the Postgraduate Medical School and the Hammersmith Hospital in London, where he was house physician to T R C Fraser [Munk’s Roll, Vol.X, p.149]. Between 1962 and 1964 he was a research fellow at Harvard Medical School and at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.

In 1964 he returned to Nigeria, as lecturer and then senior lecturer in medicine at the University of Lagos. Four years later, he was appointed as professor of chemical pathology at the University of Ibadan. He then directed a research and training programme in reproductive biomedicine at the University of Ibadan, gaining grants from the Population Council and the World Health Organization. In 1976, he was appointed as the first director of medical research and secretary to the Medical Research Council of Nigeria. In November 1978, he became vice-chancellor of the University of Lagos and, for the year 1981, was professor of chemical pathology at the relatively young College of Medical Sciences at the University of Maiduguri, Nigeria.

He served on editorial boards of a number of journals in the medical sciences and was the first editor-in-chief of the Nigerian Journal of Medical Sciences. He was the first secretary to the Nigerian Medical Council Board in Physic (Medicine), the forerunner of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, which introduced the fellowship programme of specialisation for Nigerian doctors in internal medicine.

He was widely travelled and was an expert consultant and adviser in various capacities to the World Health Organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, the Commonwealth West African Health Secretariat (now West African Health Organization), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He was a captivating and erudite speaker, and was in high demand as an invited speaker nationally and internationally.

A prolific author, he wrote papers and publications in clinical medicine, health care systems, clinical trials of drugs, human nutrition and metabolism, clinical chemistry and biochemistry, nuclear medicine, endocrinology, human reproduction and population problems, and in the management of resources for research and research training. He also wrote the book Sub-fertility and infertility in Africa (Ibadan, Caxton Press West Africa, c.1974).

He was a gregarious, dapper and outgoing man. He played very elegant cricket, receiving full colours for his school, university and the Nigerian national team. He married Deborah Regina McIntosh in Lagos in 1956. They had four children, three daughters and a son.

Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo: Comrade Shehu Seton Dogbe I don't use drugs. I am an award winning drug abuse counselor and Pharmacist. A US President, Governor and Mayor gave me awards for it. People like you are struggling to tell me of your addictions when you say things like that. Why am I high on drugs because I'm telling you to pronounce GOOGLE correctly #asshole. This is why you continue as massive failures in Nigeria. Simple instructions u cannot follow! Many of you cannot get jobs due to this one reason.

#HipHossipTribunal: Using #SocialMedia To Fight Crime in #Nigeria. A year after #Aluu4

The #Aluu4

A year ago tomorrow, Saturday, October 5th, four young men by the names of Ugo, Tekena, Lloyd and Chidiaka were murdered in a vigilante justice fashion by villagers in the Port-Harcourt area of Nigeria. The garden city became the dark city. A song originally rapped by American rapper Jay-Z “Aint no love in the heart of the city” became a symbol of how you can’t trust anyone in any city in Nigeria. There is no longer a sense of community in this country. As a well known award winning proven community activist in Baltimore, USA and Toronto, Canada, I have seen so many communities gripped by crime in Nigeria. From the insurgents in Boko Haram to the Godogodo style armed robbers to the everyday villagers who can do such a thing, criminals must be caught and locked up.

Ironically last year, when these young men accused of stealing laptops and blackberries were accidentally taken for thieves after a woman shouted ,“thief, thief” in the middle of trying to collect a debt while, using some sort of loan shark who supposed to use his muscle to get the money owed. This was how vigilante villagers made citizen arrests and stripped the young men naked and began beating them bloody. They were later beaten to death, splashed with gasoline and burned to death. All four died a gruesome death that was viewed by millions around the world on YouTube. Is there a limit to what can be captured on social media? NO, I need all the faces of the victims and the killers if possible. Some of these murderers were caught red handed on tape doing their ugly deeds in that video. Even accomplices were videotaping as well. The trial for the #Aluu4, a twitter hashtag coined for this case is still going on. So disturbing that the judge said last summer that he was “sitting beside the devil and the deep blue sea.”

As a former victim advocate in Canada, a lot of crimes were solved using surveillance and social media. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have been used to solve cases. Canadian aspiring rapper Capitol P allegedly killed a teen named Keyon Campbell and then rapped it all out in a YouTube video. Homicide detectives got a hold of it. Even the alleged shooters at the mass shooting of 25 people killing two at Toronto’s Danzig street BBQ in 2012 tweeted that since they weren’t invited to the BBQ, they would come over anyway to show the organisers “how bodies are piled up.” Nigerian Police Force need to get on social media fast. One cop I met online at the Toronto Police Facebook page, Officer Saheed Apesin Omosanya stationed in Kebbi State Seems to be the only one visible on social media learning innovations and technology we need at the NPF. Omosanya is an NPF officer of the future with a law degree as well. The IG needs to send him and a delegation to Toronto to learn how modern policing is done with the aid of social media. I was a volunteer for the TPS as a Community Police Liason member helping get rid of guns off the streets and saving lives. During that time, I got to witness all the work Constable Scott Mills did as the force’s Social Media officer. The Toronto Police service coined TPS, trains cops from all over the region, United States and even European countries like the Dutch Police. The Toronto Sun’s Chris Doucette did a special on the Top Crime Fighting twitter handles in Canada and my crime fighting handle @Snitchlady and @TorontoPolice were both on the list. Shouldn’t @PoliceNg be on there too? Time we start using social media to fight crime in Nigeria.

If you have the faces of any of the victims in Nigeria since the Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009, please send it to HipHossip Newsnet at RadioHossip@gmail.com or post it on the wall at my new page Facebook.com/HNNChannel. The faces of the victims must never be forgotten and must remain in the news. Many killed in churches, mosques and even 72 students in Yobe last week as we mourned the 40 gunned down in on Adamawa Independence day last year at the same time. In a typical gun massacre in the United States, a collage of pictures of the victims is on the news by 6pm the same day in America. It seems that we are immune to slaughter in Nigeria till it arrives at our doorsteps, something nobody wants. We want to know who the victims were. #RIP to Ugo, Tekena, Lloyd and Chidiaka and I hope they get justice. Follow me @HipHossip for all your World News.

He #DIED in the Crash! Who was Deji Falae the #Commissioner for Tourism and Culture in #Ondo State Nigeria?

Deji Falae

One of those lives cut short in the ill-fated Associated Airlines was that of Deji Falae, son of former Federal Minister of Finance, Chief Samuel Olu Falae.

Falae, whose job as the Ondo State Commissioner for Tourism and Culture was formulating policies geared at stimulating tourism and related activities for the state was on an official duty to accompany the remains of the former governor home to be interred, when the sad incidence occurred. Falae had been praised for his job of “creating conducive atmosphere and providing the necessary facilities for the development of tourism and ensuring the propagation and growth of indigenous culture in Ondo State.”

As Executive Director, Gold Estates Limited, a position he held for six years (2002 – 2008), Falae generated new development deals for a real estate development company that focuses on multi-family residential projects, including real-estate market analysis, his Linkedin account revealed. It was said by his former colleagues that the deceased managed the development of a mini residential estate from design to completion in the high end real estate market in Lagos.

Between November 2008 and September 2011, he was the C.E.O of WEST ONE RESOURCES LTD, a company some said he owned before his call to serve his fatherland two years ago as the Commissioner for Tourism in Ondo State.

Falae, a lawyer, politician and public officer in the service of the Ondo State Government was married for 14 years. He told a lifestyle blog that his marriage was a happy one. He took the liberty to share how he met with his wife, saying his wife and he were introduced by a mutual friend “while she was an undergraduate in the University of Lagos in 1993 and I was a Youth Corps member.”

He continued, “After the first date I was pretty sure I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her even though she wasn’t so sure about my intentions. She was very beautiful and had a comfortable ‘girl next door’ appeal that I couldn’t resist,” he said of his wife, now a widow. She was the one he shared the odyssey of life with.

Falae bagged the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), Law from the Obafemi Awolowo University (1987 – 1991). As a lover of life, he was partial to arts, entertainment and photography. Never to be alone, he belonged to several groups and associations. Some of them included Construction Management, Invest in Africa Lagos Business Club – Nigeria, Oil and Gas People, and Travel, Tourism & Hospitality Group.
