Greetings, 

 Join us as we celebrate with our dear brother and friend Desmond Oriakhogba on attaining the highest academic pursuit of his Doctor of Philosophy in Law. 

 Desmond Oriakhogba, phd is a donor, friend and strong support of TLF. 

 Words are not enough to describe this erudite gentleman. We will literally sleep here!

 So with few words I say hearty congratulations to our dear brother, friend and distinguished Doctor of Philosophy, in Law. May God bless you in Jesus name, amen. 










Let's hear from Dr. Des. 

 "11 March 2019  And it came to pass! Today, I received the very wonderful news of the approval of my PhD thesis by the Doctoral Degrees Board of the University of Cape Town, South Africa. With this, my PhD research journey which started in 2016 has come to a very positive end. I dedicate this great milestone to the evergreen memory of my late parents Sgt Johnbull Iyere and Mrs Roseline Iyere (this is what they always wanted for me). I express my deep gratitude to God Almighty, the giver of wisdom, intellect, strength and all things. My PhD supervisors Prof Caroline Moyo Ncube and Dr Tobias Schonwetter, guided me through the journey patiently, motherly, fatherly, excellently and progressively. I could not have gotten this far without their support and tutelage. I owe this all to you my Profs. My sweet and lovely wife Elizabeth Suleiman Oriakhogbanever allowed our daughters to feel the gap caused by my absence. She was always there to strengthen me with her beautiful smile, warmth and excellent cooking. She helped to correct my very bad grammar as I wrote along and to review some of my thought processes before I put them down. BABY, THIS IS OUR PHD. I acknowledge the material, emotional and spiritual support of my special family, friends and benefectors too numerous to mention."

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
