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."

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

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...
