As we did in January, we remember the late Dr. Ehidiamen Oaikhena. Born 26th December, Ehidiamen departed this life on the 16th of January 2017. He was friends with TLF on facebook and a likeminded advocate of the love of God. We in our own way remember Dr. Ehidiamen Oaikhena and we pray God blesses, comforts and carters for his family and all who are left to remember him, amen. But if we were to ask why such a wonderful person was taken away in such a gruesome way and in such a short period of time on earth, we would probably get the answers God gave Job and his 3 friends. So like Job we must say, ‘Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD’ (Job 1 verse 21). ‘For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth’ (Job 19 verse 25).

 

At 1.24am on the 26th of December 2017 Ehidiamen celebrated his last birthday thus -

“It’s been an amazing and awesome 365days for me. I want to thank God for the gift of life, for his protection over my life and my family members. Want to appreciate Ij my better half, u have been my backbone and pillar; my Princess Joanna, the one that doesn't allow me rest one kobo; my king Jethro, the one that is always climbing all over me; my angel Jesse; the one that doesn't allow me sleep. My parents Mr Joshua and Mrs Felicia Oaikhena, always there to care and advice me; my siblings Engr. Ehi Oaiks, Izzy and Ehiz, you people always have my back. My pastor W. F Kumuyi for preaching the undiluted word of God and teaching me the principles of success, daddy you are my model, mentor and master. My great Dept of Anaesthesiology, UBTH headed by our able mummy, Prof. Edomwonyi, other consultants for training me and fellow residents for making the work place a home for me. The patients that have allowed me take care of them are not left out, may God rest the souls of those who have gone ahead of us and may he bring health to those that are sick. Today is officially my birthday and I am eternally grateful. Happy Birthday to me and by God's grace better days ahead.”

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...
