Today, we honour a woman whose work has shaped global humanitarian and development efforts for over three decades: Dr. Lola Dare, President of Chestrad Global. What began as a Nigerian research initiative, CHESTRAD has transformed under her leadership into a worldwide networked social enterprise, influencing policies and driving change in every corner of the globe. Through her commitment, CHESTRAD Global has become a respected thought leader in public health, using research and advocacy to impact policy at international, regional, national, and local levels.

Dr. Dare’s pioneering approach has centered on dialogue and evidence-based learning, contributing to significant shifts in policy that prioritize affordable, accessible healthcare as a foundation for inclusive development. Her work is rooted in the belief that health is the bedrock of equity, enabling societies to thrive through inclusive policies that meet the needs of all citizens. CHESTRAD’s reach today stands as a testament to her vision, spanning countries and regions where her efforts have brought meaningful, lasting impact.

In recognition of her exceptional influence, November 4th has now been marked as Chestrad Global Day—a celebration of Dr. Dare’s lifelong dedication and a call to continue the work she has championed. Her journey is an inspiring reminder of the power of one person’s vision to drive global change, and we celebrate the legacy she has created through CHESTRAD’s transformative work.

Opinion: Doris Ogala should refrain from mentioning Dr. Chris Okafor’s name given his marital status.

Opinion: Doris Ogala should refrain from mentioning Dr. Chris Okafor's name given his marital status.

Opinion: Doris Ogala should refrain from mentioning Dr. Chris Okafor’s name given his marital status.

…He is not accountable for your predicament; kindly address your case file.

Meta Facebook should take immediate action to sanitize its platform of individuals like Doris who are spreading malicious content, and Doris should be careful when referencing Lagos-based well-known Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor in connection to her faded career

 

Doris Ogala should be aware that the Generational Prophet is now in a fulfilling marriage with his spouse, and her recent troubles are exclusively attributed to the ancestral curse that has been a persistent issue since her previous union, which her current husband had not yet discovered.

Opinion: Doris Ogala should refrain from mentioning Dr. Chris Okafor's name given his marital status.

When a grown up woman lack wisdom and good parental upbringing what should be expected from such woman is exactly what Doris Ogala portraying as human beings that fabricated lies against a true man of God and go scout-free so, no one is expected to sympathized with the faded-away actress known as Doris Ogala and she must dearly pay for her evil manipulation as nemesis hunting her back.

 

It’s prudent for Doris Ogala, or those close to her, to be aware of the potential risks associated with her claims regarding Dr. Chris Okafor, a married man. Without proper justification, such actions could lead to severe repercussions. The challenges she faces might be linked to her actions, and a genuine change might mitigate her situation.

 

Consider how the spouse of the person you’re criticizing online might feel when you address them so informally. Don’t you think she’s capable of facing you? While she may not respond to provocations, it’s advisable not to provoke further

 

I am taking this opportunity to advise Doris Ogala to reconsider her actions and prioritize her career by refraining from mentioning the name of a man who does not reciprocate her interest. It would also be prudent for Doris Ogala to reflect on her age and compare it with the age of the person she is so ardently pursuing and to respect the sanctity of his home, which would invite divine blessings and a peaceful life of her own if she dedicates her life to Christ, potentially reversing any adverse fate that may be looming over her.

 

Sincerely dedicating your life to Christ and amending your behavior can lead to divine mercy and a stable living arrangement; in my considered opinion, reforming one’s ways can yield compassion.

Banwo Identifies Structural Challenges Limiting Opposition

 

Public commentator Dr. Ope Banwo has identified key structural and strategic challenges limiting the effectiveness of opposition parties in Nigeria.

In a statement released from his base in America, Banwo outlined several factors, including internal divisions, weak grassroots presence, and lack of clear policy alternatives, as major obstacles facing opposition groups.

“One of the biggest issues is fragmentation. There are too many interests and not enough coordination,” he said.

He noted that multiple presidential ambitions within opposition ranks could make it difficult to build consensus around a single candidate.

Banwo also emphasised the importance of grassroots political structures, stating that electoral success in Nigeria depends heavily on local-level organisation.

“Elections are not won on social media. They are won through presence and coordination at the community level,” he explained.

Another concern raised by Banwo is what he described as inconsistent messaging from opposition parties, which he said could make it difficult for voters to identify a clear alternative to the current administration.

“Criticism alone is not enough. Voters want to see a defined direction and credible leadership,” he added.

He further pointed to the challenges of funding and long-term planning, noting that successful political campaigns require sustained investment and discipline.

According to him, defeating an incumbent government demands a high level of coordination, including strong alliances and a unified national strategy.

Banwo, however, suggested that there remains an opportunity for opposition parties to reposition themselves if they address these challenges early.

He stressed the need for compromise among political leaders, urging them to prioritise collective goals over individual ambitions.

“If there is unity, structure, and clarity of purpose, the political landscape can still change,” he said.

He concluded that the strength of any democracy depends on the presence of a viable opposition capable of offering credible alternatives to voters
