No fewer than 500 Ogba community residents, Benin City, Edo State, on Saturday, benefitted from free medical care services provided by a non-profit organisation – Beulah World Initiative
The free medical care which included eye test and treatment; medical tests and treatment; sugar test; HIV/AIDS test; blood pressure test; offering of free eye-glasses and many more, was part of the Non-Governmental Organisation’s commitment to reaching out to rural dwellers who cannot afford hospital treatment.
Speaking during the outreach held at Church of God Mission Int’l, Open Gates Province, Ogba, Benin, founder of the non-profit organisation, Chichi Ononiwu, said the faith-based non-profit organisation was founded to ensure help gets to the people at the grassroot.
“It is a faith-based non-profit and Non-Governmental Organisation founded to reach out to rural and sub-urban communities in Nigeria and sub-urban Africa at large with primary healthcare basically and then leadership development.

“This is basically to ensure that help gets to the grassroot, because at the moment a very few communities in Nigeria have healthcare centres.
“At the moment, a lot of communities are distressed health wise, and people are struggling to get just daily food not to talk of enough resources to get basic treatment in hospital, so it is our desire to help them,” she added.
On while she and her team had to travel all the way from Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State to Benin, Ononiwu said they prayed and God directed their paths to the city, adding that when they eventually made enquiries they were told the residents really needed such medical services.
On his part, one of the medical personnel who attended to patients at the outreach, Dr. David Salami, while expressing concern over the prevalence of high blood pressure among residents of the community including young ones, however, attributed the high BP rate to the economic situation of the country.

Dr. Salami, while commending the church for giving the residents opportunity to have such healthcare services, noted that many of the residents of the community never knew they had ailments of high BP, hypertension, diabetes, etc.
Also speaking, one of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Hellen Akanu, said due to the economic situation of the country many of them can no longer afford hospital treatment, just as she appreciated the initiators for giving to them in free what many of them cannot afford.
On his part, another beneficiary, Mr. Shettima Gadzama, said it was the first time in his life to experience such free medical care, noting that the organisers never discriminated against tribe or religion.
He called on well meaning Nigerians to emulate Beulah World Initiative by reaching out to the less privileged in the society.
The event concluded with the giving of food items to widows and aged women, and giving of free drugs.

Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, and his wife, Mrs Tamunominini Makinde, have been installed as the Aare Omoluabi and the Yeye Aare Omoluabi of Akure Kingdom.
The governor, who was conferred with the chieftaincy by the Deji of Akure, Oba (Dr.) Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi, in Akure, on Friday, said the honour was a call to contribute to the uplift of Akure Kingdom.
Makinde, who congratulated the Deji on his 10th anniversary on the throne, promised to continue to strive and do his best for the progress of the kingdom.

He said: “For me and my wife, we are elated for the honour done to us. We can only promise that we will continue to strive and do our best for the progress of Akure Kingdom.
“Usually, they say that prophets are not recognised in their own domain. But today, Akure Kingdom has recognised one of their own. So, I appreciate this. In 1977, I was here and I was 10 years old. So, the honour done to me today is because I am a son of the soil and it is a further call to do my best for the uplift of our Akure Kingdom.

“You will know the 10th year coronation of Kabiyesi for a big difference.”
The event had in attendance dignitaries from Oyo State and across the country.

The only way to motivate yourself to stop smoking is to change your lifestyle. If you continue the same life exactly with the same mindset (corn, overeating, unfulfilled job, unfulfilled marriage, etc.), you will relapse later even if you quit for months or years because smoking is a mindset, it’s a symptom of unfulfilled life.

Smoking, or any addiction for that matter, is a symptom of unfinished shadow work (it’s a bit complex term, research it and keep diving within) When life tastes sweet, smoking loses its flavor, so start actually living instead of sleepwalking through life, review your hobbies, check lines of work you’ve always been passionate about, talk the real talk with spouse, friends, filter out the people that are holding you back and dragging you down to their level (you won’t be able to see that with clarity if you smoke)

Editor
Even though many African countries are facing energy problems and making changes in their oil and gas industries, some still have some of the cheapest petrol prices in the world as of July 2025.
Libya, Angola and Algeria are the top three countries with cheapest petrol prices in Africa.
Below are top 10 African countries with the cheapest petrol prices in July 2025, as per GlobalPetrolPrices.com.
Libya
In Libya, fuel costs $0.028 per litre (42.397 Naira), and with its vast oil reserves, it keeps fuel prices remarkably low through significant government subsidies. This long-standing approach guarantees affordable energy for its citizens, contributing to social stability. Despite ongoing political instability, the nation consistently utilises its resources to provide this low-cost energy.

Angola
In Angola, fuel costs $0.327 per litre (500.253 Naira). As a major African oil producer, the country’s domestic output helps keep fuel relatively affordable. However, the government faces the challenge of balancing these subsidies with revenue generation, particularly as it strives to diversify its economy.
Algeria
As a major oil and gas producer, Algeria provides highly affordable fuel, priced around $0.353 per litre (540.216 Naira), through substantial government subsidies. This strategy is important to ensure accessible energy for its citizens and foster social stability. Nevertheless, the government is under pressure to reform its subsidy system to ease fiscal burdens and advance economic diversification
Egypt
At $0.385 per litre (588.000 Naira), Egypt’s fuel prices reflect its dual status as a significant producer and consumer of petroleum. While the government has implemented subsidy reforms in recent years, fuel remains relatively affordable, ensuring widespread energy access for its large population. This approach supports economic growth by reallocating funds previously spent on subsidies to more productive sectors.

Nigeria
Nigeria offers fuel at approximately $0.545 (832.630 Naira) per litre, positioning it among the top countries globally for affordability. This pricing reflects a combination of domestic production advantages and past subsidy policies. However, the nation continues to navigate challenges stemming from recent subsidy reforms and persistent fuel shortages, which significantly impact its economy and citizens.
Sudan
Sudan sells fuel at approximately $0.700 (1070.376 Naira) per litre, placing it among the more affordable options globally. However, political instability and severe economic challenges, including high inflation and currency devaluation, significantly influence its fuel pricing. While subsidies aim to keep fuel affordable, the government struggles to maintain consistent prices amidst these ongoing pressures.
Tunisia
Tunisia ranks 33rd globally with fuel priced at $0.871 (1331.151 Naira) per litre. The country imports most of its energy needs, but government subsidies keep fuel prices relatively low for its citizens. Economic reforms and rising energy demands may challenge this affordability in the future.

Ethiopia
At $0.897 (1372.111 Naira) per litre, Ethiopia ranks 35th globally in fuel affordability. Unlike some of its oil-producing neighbours, Ethiopia is a net importer of fuel, making its pricing sensitive to global oil market fluctuations. The government’s focus on developing infrastructure and reducing reliance on imports could influence future fuel pricing.
Liberia
Liberia offers fuel at $0.908 (1388.903 Naira) per litre, placing it 36th globally. As a net fuel importer, the country’s pricing reflects transportation and import costs. Efforts to stabilise the economy and improve infrastructure are critical to ensuring a consistent fuel supply and affordability
Gabon
In Gabon, fuel costs $1.059 (1619.454 Naira) per litre, ranking it 51st globally. As an oil-exporting nation, Gabon benefits from domestic production, which helps maintain reasonable fuel prices. However, economic diversification remains a priority as the country seeks to reduce dependency on oil revenues.
