Autism Awareness Centre: My greatest achievement
INTERVIEW BY Victoria Onehi
I
ndividuals with autism are special people. They have challenges in speech and communication, as well as social interaction with people. But with early intervention of speech communication specialists and with love/care from family members and the society, they
overcome these challenges and live a normal life. It is for this reason that Mrs. Adedotun Akande set up Patrick Speech and Languages Centre, Lagos - the first one in Nigeria to help children with special needs. Her work in creating awareness for individuals with autism won her the 2015 Vlisco
Woman of the Year award, a Vliscos initiative to mark the International Women’s Day and also encourage and celebrate outstanding women in Western and Central Africa who have stood out and achieved their desired dreams over the years.

Educational and career background I read Economics in the University of Ado-Ekiti. And I worked in the bank for over 10 years. I started in Group Merchant Bank and ended in Broad Bank. Most of my banking years were spent in CSL Treasury, the security arm of FCMB. In 2006, I stepped into the world of developmental disabilities after undergoing a series of training recommended to me by the National Autistic Society in the UK. Training, for me, is continuous because research is still ongoing in the field.
Why I started Patrick Speech and Languages Centre for individuals with autism My son was diagnosed with autism at age two. He lost the single words he had at 12 months and his behaviour was odd. He would line objects up in a particular manner and would only eat when his favourite cartoon was turned on. He would cover his ears to loud sounds and insist that we cut off the label on any of his shirt before putting it on. He was not playing with other children. The beauty of the situation, however, was that through all these challenges, he was learning. He had special interest in Mathematics and Music. At age six his words began to emerge, and a year later, he started to use sentences, but sparingly. When I saw that my son was slowly emerging from his
world of silence I immediately knew that there would be families going through similar challenges with their children and the thought of opening a centre came to me by divine revelation.
Major challenges of children with autism and how they can be helped The major challenge of individuals with autism is acceptance and love. Why do I say this? Most of them just want to be loved and accepted. Once the family is able to get over the disappointment of having a child that is different and overlook the stigma attached to having a child with special needs and start to love and help that child cope in our ever confusing environment, healing begins. It is not an easy step, I must say, but it is possible to teach them. However rough it may be, the end result is divine. Look for the strength of that child and use it to build the confidence of the child while dealing with his or her challenges.
Being the 2015 Vlisco brand ambassador
“Once the family is able to get over the disappointment of having a child that is different and overlook the stigma attached to having a child with special needs and start to love and help that child cope in our ever confusing environment, healing begins.� The Vlisco brand ambassador is like an icing on the cake. I am delighted to have won, but the truth is that Autism Awareness actually won. It is the work we do that made me stand out. I cannot thank God enough. The benefits are enormous. This will give
me the opportunity to talk about how we have been able to build up Autism Awareness from the scratch without hiring an expatriate. We undergo a series of training every year and we keep up with international standards. With the emergence of Patrick Speech and Languages Centre, many people have come into the field doing great work with families. We started a good thing and we are proud. The award is dedicated to all the families that have trusted me with their children. Thank you.
How I met my husband and the attraction I met him during my youth service. He came to see his cousin who was my colleague in the bank then. His ability to listen to me talk was what attracted him to me. He was very romantic and would send me flowers and write poems to me. Love and understanding has kept us together over the years.
Qualities that endear him to me and his support in helping me achieve my dream He can be very caring and warm. He has been very supportive from the

“We are all here for a purpose, and the minute you are able to know the path God has laid out for you, you immediately become successful.”
Mrs. Akande receiving her award from Vlisco representative start. He was the one that helped us raise funds from the bank to start up the centre. And he has always encouraged me to focus on growing the centre, especially when I try to deviate a bit from our core objective. When I took the bold step to support indigent families that cannot afford services, he encouraged me, and when times were rough he would tell me not to worry, that the phase would soon pass; and eventually, it did.
Happiest moment as a mother As a mother, watching my children achieve the impossible has been my happiest moment - my biological children, as well as my children and adults at the centre. My greatest achievement in life thus far is opening of the centre. I am very happy; it’s unbelievable. I have reached a point in life where I can see everything turning around for my good.
Other passions I have passion for music. When I walk into my house and my son is practising his piano, it gladdens my heart and I just reach out and give him a kiss. I am motivated and awed by the love of God for me. I know there is a standard that is expected of me, and I try to maintain and even surpass that standard. I strive always to do better and be better.
Favourite music and artiste I love the music, Lord you are good, by Don Moen. I also love Michael Franks.
My take on style and the
grooming tip I have learnt over time I am not very stylish. I love simple but elegant dresses. I have learnt that washing my face every night helps keep it smooth and fresh.
The qualities I love most in women and women who have inspired me The ability to multitask as well as work under pressure. We are able to hide our hurt, especially towards the people we love. My first sister, Mrs. Inuejulawo inspires me. Growing up, she taught me how to believe in myself and to love God. For her, no height was too high to climb. My mentor, Mrs. Aisha Oyebode also inspires me. She had genuine love for people, especially the less privileged. I have learnt a lot from her.
Definition of success and how I turned my dream into reality To me, success is achieving your Godgiven mission. We are all here for a purpose, and the minute you are able to know the path God has laid out for you, you immediately become successful because everything starts to fall into place. I turned my dream into reality by listening to God’s voice and following every instruction. I met a lot of obstacles on the way, but I did not give up. I waited; and 9 years later, it is beginning to pay off. God is never late. Don’t ever give up on your dreams. Live it. My advice to the younger ones is to be patient; nothing good comes easy.

I HAVE STOMACH DISORDERS I usually have stomach disorders. Whenever I feel the urge to defecate, nothing comes out. What do I do? How old are you? Dietary adjustment is necessary, but if this persists, see your family physician. Meanwhile, you can take any of the liquid antacid. There may be need for you to do stool microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
INCREASED ASTHMATIC ATTACK I am 28 weeks pregnant and my asthmatic attack has increased. Ventolin inhaler is not giving adequate relief again. I have taken several aminophilline injection. What do I do? Victoria, Minna I have mentioned earlier that it is part of the challenges of asthma in pregnancy. Attack frequency could be less, same or more frequent than before pregnancy. Aminopyhyline is no longer the first line treatment for acute attack. You may need to combine two inhalers, that is another one added to the Ventolin inhaler. You also have to avoid all risk factors that can predispose you to having asthmatic attack like dust and smoke from frying things. I will suggest you see a consultant physician with subspecialty in chest infection, or a pulmonologist for a comprehensive assessment and advice.
Please, always include name and address when sending your health enquiries to us. Thank you

PAINS IN THE NIPPLES I just finished menstruating and I feel pains in my nipples. This is unusual for me. What could it be? Jecintha, Makurdi. Just watch it for now. Occasional nipple pains is not uncommon especially during ovulation period and prior to menstruation.
CHANGE IN MENSTRUAL PERIOD Is there a change in my menstrual cycle? My LMP was on April 5 and I am yet to see my period (written on May 8). I have not had sex for two years now. I am on folic acid and Vitamin E medication. From your LMP to the time you wrote was 33 days. If you are sure there was no sexual contact, then it is likely to be hormonal change. Maybe by the time you are reading the reply you might have seen your period. This type of delay does occur, and provided it is not persistent, there is no problem. Why are you on prolonged folic acid and Vitamin E? From your question, you are not even ready to get pregnant?

Traditional marriage in Nupe BY Pupwaya Timothy Dibal
A
mong the Nupe, marriage is a sacred institution. The two people involved (man and woman) are referred to as “eba yawo and yawo,” meaning husband and wife. In the early Nupe tradition, young boys and girls did not choose whom to marry. This arrangement was left for the two families on behalf of their children. But nowadays, young boys and girls meet and agree before involving their parents. However, one thing is very clear - the practice follows mutual understanding, consent and approval of both parents. It is against this background that the boy’s family, who wants to ask for a girl’s hand in marriage, sends a delegation of one of the elders or family friend (Rinna) to the girl’s family. The Rinna is very important in Nupe marriage. He is the intermediary between the two families, though with the paramount interest of the boy’s family. According to Mr. Attah Hassan, at the inception of negotiations, the Rinna goes to see the girl’s family on a mission called “Egi wa,” meaning, seeking for marriage. This mission is accompanied with kolanut and some money as evidence. The girl’s family collects the items and a reply will follow sooner or later. The family of the girl will then distribute the kolanuts and money to the rest of the family and some of her relatives. They do this as a form of telling them that the said girl is blessed with a husband. After they must have found out about the boy and his family and he happens to be of good character and from a decent family, they will approve, after which the Rinna will inform the boy’s family that their proposal has been approved. At this juncture, the boy and his friends will go on a special visit called emisa (greetings) to the girl’s family to show appreciation for such approval. This visit affords members of the girl’s family the opportunity to know their would-be son-in-law. The period usually attracts a lot of jokes from older women in the girl’s compound who will throw up a big challenge for the boy. Here, his manliness, physique and handsome looks or otherwise are humorously assessed. The other stages are related to the wedding plans. These start with the negotiation of ewo yawo (bride price). After a specific amount is agreed upon, the Rinna ensures prompt payment, and other charges are set aside, such as “godiyagi”
(small thanks) and “godiyako” (big thanks). These amounts are used to show appreciation to relatives and the girl’s parents respectively. And the girl’s parents will use the rest of the money to buy kitchen utensils and other important items for the girl. When all the conditions are fulfilled and the girl reaches puberty and is assumed “mature” to undertake maternal responsibilities, the Rinna meets with the boy’s family to decide on the month of the year they want the marriage ceremony. He then communicates this to the girl’s family, who will give approval after due consultations with other family members. Finally, a specific date is fixed in the approved month and the wedding proper is arranged. On the night preceding the wedding date, the girl is formally initiated into marriage - yaworufa dan. On the wedding date, a cleric is invited by the girl’s parents to carry out the solemnisation, with representatives of the boy’s family in attendance and other well-wishers present to bear witness and share the joy of the occasion. After the pronouncement of the couple as husband and wife, celebrations follow all through the night. Late in the evening of the wedding, the new bride will be taken to her husband’s home. But before she is taken away, she goes round to bid farewell to her relatives. At some point, the bride and her parents will shed tears because their daughter is leaving them. Others give her a final counselling and guidance for a successful marriage. The girl’s parents finally hand her over to Rinna (yawogo). She is usually accompanied by a little girl and another married woman to her new home. In the new home, she is received into a newly prepared room. Here, another round of celebration continues for some hours. This time, it is merrymaking as the atmosphere is charged with singing and dancing.
“The boy and his friends will go on a special visit called emisa (greetings) to the girl’s family to show appreciation for such approval. This visit affords members of the girl’s family the opportunity to know their would-be son-inlaw. ”

he much awaited Hausa movie Hindu which is said to be the first Hausa movie, with a budget of over N20 million was premiered at the ultramodern Film house Ado Bayero mall in Kano. It could be recalled that since the release of the movie teaser, fans and critics have been longing to watch the movie which is said to be a movie produced based on a true Hausa culture. When producers of the movie announced that the movie was going to be premiere on the 16th of May 2015; the premiere became the talk of the industry. It was gathered that the venue of the premiere was full hours before the scheduled time. Artist that have featured in the movie and also those that have not featured were said to have graced the event, as well as stakeholders and fans of the Hausa movie industry. Similarly a renowned Kano based cleric Malam Ibrahin Khalil, Professor Abdallah Uba Adamu of Bayero University were among the dignitaries that graced the occasion. In his speech before the commencement of the premiere, Professor Abdallah Uba Adamu reminded the public that a movie is a mirror of the larger society. He then cautioned the producers of the movie on lack of synergy between the movie name and what the movie entailed “Movie is a reflection of the larger society, it tells the story of what is happening in our society and therefore I advise that producers should always take that into consideration. However, I have noticed something from the movie’s name. I don’t know why the producers chose to name the movie ‘Hindu’
which is Arabic name meaning a beautiful Indian woman. I would have adviced that since the movie is all about a Hausa community the name should be of Hausa origin,” he said. Earlier in his address, Kano based Islamic cleric Malam Ibrahim Khalil, congratulated the producers of the movie and urged them to always make sure that what they produce doesn’t go contrary to religion and tradition injunctions.

After the 15 minutes show, series of questions and observations where raised and answers given. Similarly, the producers of the movie promised to take into consideration the observations made before releasing the movie into the market. It could be recalled that the story was said to have been drafted after series of research on the life and culture of the Hausas. It was also revealed that the producer of the movie was once quoted as saying “We have carefully selected the kind of clothes, settlement and even the language itself. In fact, the village we are going to use we built it from the scratch. We are building it to suit the story. We have
acquired costumes peculiar to the Hausa’s and also made all the necessary arrangement to make the scenario adequately fit for what the Hausa man is known for. After our research we found out that the only place that will suit our desire as a location to shoot most part of the movie was located in Niger state, Bida to be precise. Therefore, we went there and all arrangements are concluded presently, construction of the village is ongoing there” he revealed. According to the producers, after the premiere, the movie will continue showing at the Film house before it will be released into the market. Fans have high expectation of the movie and only time can tell if they are satisfied with what was given to them or not.

Why you should eat tiger nuts
TAMBARI MAY 24, 2015

iger nuts, popularly known as ‘aya’ in northern Nigeria, can be eaten as a snack. A little sweet, they can be eaten fresh or dry. The juice of tiger nuts can serve as milk, and oil can also be extracted from it as well. The tiger nut milk is a perfect substitute for animal milk. Eating 25 tiger nuts gives the body 139 mg of potassium, being the same level than a potato or an avocado and exceeding the potassium levels of a banana. This mineral helps the cells and organs to work correctly. It also regulates the muscle contractions, which helps your digestion. A nutritionist at the Wuse General Hospital, Abuja, Hajiya Jummai Abdul, said tiger nuts helps to stimulate the immune system by preventing cardiovascular diseases. She added that the nuts had essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron are used to build strong bones and muscles, repair tissues and help the blood stream. “Because of the fibre content, it helps to prevent constipation because it aids proper digestion. The high fibre content of the tiger nuts makes it a good colon evacuator and cleanser, and it can help one to lose weight,” Abdul said. The high non-soluble fibre contents of the tiger nuts help the diabetics to regulate their sugar levels in the blood. Recent studies have demonstrated that the fibre does not elevate the sugar levels in the blood as the carbohydrates. Tiger nuts are a source of Vitamin E that protects
us from the creation of harmful free radicals, which are responsible for the death of the body cells. This fact, combined with a high content of oleic acid, has demonstrated that it reduces the risk of heart diseases. It is very easy to make your own tiger nuts milk with cooking equipment that can be found in your kitchen. You can prepare milk that is healthy, without lactose and rich in calcium, vitamins C and E. There are two varieties of tiger nuts - yellow and brown - and both can be eaten raw, dried and ground into flour, pressed to make a juice, squeezed for its heart healthy oils and used as food. Tiger nuts are generally known for having a sweet, nutty flavor, which is used to flavour sweets and even ice cream. In a 2006 study from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, published in the International Journal of Agriculture and Biology, researchers compared tiger nut milk with cow and soybean milk. In addition to being a great source of calcium, tiger nut milk also has some health benefit that milk lacks, namely Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Therefore, health experts advised that nursing mothers should eat a lot of tiger nuts for enough production of breast milk to satisfy their babies. “Tiger nuts are often cultivated for its edible tubers. In Nigeria, the Hausa call it aya, the Yoruba call it ofio, the Igbo, imumu or aki Hausa. The milk made from tiger nuts is known as kunun aya in Hausa.

A glowing skin is not only a result of external skincare. You must remember to eat healthy vegetables and antioxidant rich fruits to keep your complexion glowing. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout this season.
he skin tends to react unstably to humidity in rainy seasons. You may also notice that during some days, your skin becomes extremely oily, and other days it is too dry, making your face look dull. It is therefore important to give your skin the right treatment so as to bear with the weather. Here are a few amazing skincare tips that will help your skin glow even during a downpour.
•
Rainy seasons usually cause dirt and pollutants to lodge in your pores. Wash your face at least two to three times a day, especially before you go to bed so that these pollutants don’t aggravate your skin. When you return home after a hectic day, washing your face is sometimes not enough to get all the dirt out. To clean your pores thoroughly, use a facial cleanser after taking your bath if you have a dry skin, or an astringent if you have
an oily skin.
