AFRICAN GIANT OF THE WEEK: NIKE DAVIES-OKUNDAYE
Born in Ogidi-Ijumu, Kogi State, Nikeâs journey into the world of art was not shaped in formal classrooms but through deep cultural immersion. She learned traditional textile-making, especially adire (indigo-dyed cloth), from her great-grandmother. What started as heritage soon became purpose, and that purpose evolved into a lifelong mission to preserve and promote Nigerian culture through art. She is the founder of the renowned Nike Art Gallery, one of the largest art galleries in West Africa. Located in Lekki, Lagos, the gallery is more than just a building filled with paintings and sculptures. It is a living archive of Nigerian creativity. Housing thousands of artworks from diverse ethnic groups, it has become a cultural landmark, attracting tourists, collectors, and art lovers from around the world. But her impact goes far beyond the walls of the gallery.

Glaucoma: The Silent Thief of Sight You Shouldnât Ignore
Glaucoma, often called the âsilent thief of sight,â is a serious eye condition that gradually damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure within the eye. Because it develops without noticeable symptoms at first, many people are unaware until vision loss begins. It typically starts with peripheral vision loss and can progress to blindness if untreated. Understanding its causes, symptoms, types, and risk factors, along with regular eye check-ups, is key to early detection and preserving vision.
