A Malaysian-Chinese, Mrs Odediran, an optometrist, is married to a retired Nigerian United Nations Children’s Fund United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) staff member. Read her interesting interview with Tribune:
Can you let us into your background?
I’m a Chinese but grew up in Malaysia. I’m from a non-Christian home but there was a small population of Christians there. Most were Buddhists, so there were many temples where idols were worshipped. Buddhism is an ancient religion while Christianity was regarded as Western religion. I lost my mother as a teenager, my father therefore took another wife. My father is a businessman and also runs a big farm, so we were quite comfortable. He spent his money mainly on educating us.

NAFDAC Workers Embark On NationWide Strike
Workers of the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) under the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN) on Wednesday embarked on a nationwide strike.
However, the Director-General of NAFDAC, Dr Paul Orhii has threatened to ‘cure the cause of the strike’ by stopping all training programmes for NAFDAC workers as such claims to unpaid allowances emanate from claims from travels for trainings. Declaring an indefinite strike at the premises of the agency in Lagos, the State Chairman, MHWUN, Stephen Ibe directed workers to immediately vacate the premises of the agency.
To this end, all NAFDAC offices at the seaports, land ports, airports have been shut indefinitely.
