Congratulations to Dr. @Chikwe_I of Nigeria on his appointment as Assistant Director-General of @WHO in charge of the Pandemic and Epidemic Response Hub in Berlin. A very well deserved appointment. Proud of Chikwe, who handled Nigeria’s #COVID19 response brilliantly.

Remembering Da Costa!
Who was Dr. Peter Da Costa? Until his passing on August 2019 Dr. Da Costa was Mentor, and Vice-Chair of ALC’s Board of Trustees.
Sorry to hear this, Oga Geo! Our positive thoughts are with you!
Did my fourth Covid-19 test yesterday at the first sign of a throat irritation and unfortunately this time it came back positive. That is life! Win some lose some. Heading for isolation in a health facility and praying for the best. #StayHomeSaveLives #COVID19 #PTFCOVID19
ICRW stands with our staff, our community, with people everywhere seeking to transform the underlying systemic inequities that perpetuate the dehumanizing violence that manifested last week in the death of George Floyd... #BlackLivesMatter #M4BL icrw.org/news/in-solidarity/

Ruth, go and do what you do best: making a difference!
Grateful for the opportunity to work with colleagues so deeply committed to social impact. I already feel very much at home @IDinsight.

There was nothing Civil about the 1967-1970 Biafran/Nigerian war. It was a genocide. Simple.#ozoemena #BiafraHeroesDay2020 #BiafraRemembranceDay

My father fought in this war. Told us he does not even know how he survived it. Scars of this tragedy are still everywhere you look in contemporary Igboland!

Great palace wt extensive space 4 physical exercise! Looks like "in your face" to the millions of Ugandans living in dehumanizing slums & congested rooms wt no space 4 even a stretch. Still great though that you are 'promoting' +ve behavior.
Yesterday, I discouraged people who have been jogging in groups, exposing themselves to risk amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. You do not have to go outdoors to exercise. Here is my demonstration of how you can exercise indoors and stay safe.
