INTERVIEW BY Mulikatu Mukaila

alamat Ahuoiza Aliyu, who hails from Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State, is a neurosurgeon. She works at the National Hospital, Abuja. Born into the family of Dr. Siaka Adeiza Aliyu and Mrs. Bilkisu Oremeyi Aliyu, she grew up in Ilorin, where she also attended school up to the university level. She spoke on her career, family life and more.

As a neuro-surgeon, I cherish my patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trust

TAMBARI MAY 31, 2015

Academic background I started my primary education at the Abdulaziz Attah Memorial Primary School but completed it at Baboko LGA Primary School, all in Ilorin. I later proceeded to the Queen Elizabeth Secondary School, Ilorin and graduated in 1996. I went to the University of Ilorin, where I read Medicine and Surgery and graduated in 2004. I did the compulsory oneyear housemanship at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, after which I went for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme in Fufore Local Government Area, Adamawa State. After that, I got employed at the National Hospital, Abuja as a resident doctor in 2006. I completed my residency last year and wrote the fellowship exams of the West African College of Surgeons and passed. So I just became a neurosurgeon. I was awarded the fellowship in March this year. And I happen to be the first female neuro-surgeon in Nigeria that was trained indigenously. I am also the first female to be awarded the Fellowship of Neuro-Surgery by the Fellowship of the West African College of Surgeons in the whole sub-region.

Picking up a career I have always wanted to be a doctor, right from childhood. It was in secondary school that I first heard of Neuro-surgery and I thought I could one day become a neuro-surgeon. And as God would have it, I am fulfilled that my childhood dreams didn’t fade away.

Inspiration I fell in love with Medicine from childhood. I loved to see doctors. Growing up I discovered that I liked taking up challenging tasks in any situation I found myself. I faced difficult tasks ahead of me; so when I heard of neuro-surgery, which deals with the surgery of the brain and spinal cord, I felt it was probably the most challenging field in Medicine and that’s the main reason I picked interest in it.

First experience in the theater My first experience in the theater was as a medical student. I didn’t feel any different. I was just myself. And being a neuro-surgeon, it is something you will face at some point, so when going into the theater you know what to expect. The first time I saw a human brain opened, I didn’t feel weird either; I just said to myself, “I am where I am supposed to be.”

“The first time I saw a human brain, I didn’t feel weird; I just said to myself, “I am where I am supposed to be.” Childhood memories I have many fond memories as a child. I am from a very large family, even though it’s a monogamous one. I have four sisters who all also happen to be medical doctors. I also have two brothers. The age gap between us isn’t very wide, so we all grew up together, playing and doing everything together. I also remember that we had a backyard where we always grew corn and vegetables. I liked playing in the garden, pretending to be a teacher, and the corn plants were my students. And I would be spanking them. Another thing I cherished a lot was listening to stories being told by my dad. He loved to tell us stories, especially when there was power outage. We would all sit outside the

house and he would tell us interesting stories.

Motherhood experience Motherhood is a joyous experience. From the first time I set my eyes on my child, I fell in love with him. As young as he is, he is very compassionate. He understands my mood. When he sees that I am a bit down he wants to know how I am feeling, and he shows concern. For example, when I am coughing, he amazes me by the way he rushes to get me water. That gives me a lot of joy.

Juggling motherhood and career It is challenging. But I always plan

my time and day ahead. If I am not able to attend to my child, I will make provision for that so that someone will help me look after him; but when my schedule allows it, I always ensure that I give him that care myself. Sometimes, because of work I have to go away for some time. However, I have a good support team. My mom is always coming around from time to time, and she looks after him on my behalf.

How I met my husband I met my husband through a senior colleague at the hospital. He came visiting and we happened to meet, and not too long, we got married and today we are blessed with a threeyear-old son.

to time.

Role models My role models are my parents, no doubt. This is because they have loved us and brought us up well. Thank God we are all standing well on our feet. May Allah continue to bless them! I remember that when I was in medical school, my mum would cook and package it for me, as well as organise my clothes for laundry. And she would tell me that what you needed to do was to read and pass my exams. She would also exempt me from doing any house chores if I was reading for exams. And she did it for all of us. They really showed tremendous sacrifices for our upbringing.

“I always review what has happened; and if there is any lesson to be learnt, I take it. I take life easy generally.” Traits inherited from my parents I took after them in the area of truthfulness. They engraved the values of truthfulness, fairness, uprightness, honesty, hard work and ambition in us. My dad will always tell us never to be afraid to tell the truth in any situation we find ourselves. He will tell us to be good to others because if you do well to others, definitely, good will come to you. My mother is very kind and compassionate. She is always looking out for other people; she will put their interest ahead of hers. I am striving every day to be like her.

home, just like my mum.

Lessons of life We learn every day from our daily experiences. I take each day as it comes. Also, I don’t dwell on events. I always review what has happened; and if there is any lesson to be learnt, I take it. I take life easy, generally.

Mode of relaxation We can stay indoors, have a good meal and watch movies. Sometimes we go out to the park or somewhere to relax.

Lessons learnt from Mum

I love the United States. We travelled as a family there and we had fun. However, I can’t say I have a favourite holiday spot because I travel from time

Definition of style As a Muslim I love to dress modestly. And I love the colour purple.

Love for the profession What I cherish most about my profession is the trust patients have in us. When he or she goes to see a doctor, he trusts that the doctor will not harm him in any way. He rather believes that the doctor would care for him. That is a lot of responsibility on the doctor’s part. The fact that a patient submits himself to you is a matter of trust which doctors shouldn’t betray. I take that seriously as a neurosurgeon.

Joyous moment What gives me joy is being able to help humanity and worship God. I strive on a daily basis to be balanced in the spiritual, social, family and professional life.

Legacies I want to be known as a good person who cares about other people and gives back to the community. I also want to be known for my expertise in neuro-surgery. I have plans to study more and improve my skills. And I hope to be able to inspire younger ones to follow this path.

CAN ONE GET PREGNANT WITHOUT MENSTRUATING? Can someone get pregnant without seeing her period a year after giving birth? Please, your reply is very important because there was an argument on this issue. Anonymous Yes, it is possible. This is because ovulation occurs before menstruation, and if intercourse occurred and there is fertilisation then there will not be menstruation before the next baby. For the same reason, a lot of times women may not know that they are pregnant for months until obvious abdominal protrusion. In the same way, especially in the olden days, women who married premenachial could have four children, yet they never saw their menses.

CAN I TAKE CLOMID? Can one take Clomid tablets, please? Doris Yes, but strictly under prescription. A lot of women take Clomid indiscriminately without knowing whether they qualify to use it or not. A woman with blocked tubes will not benefit from Clomid. Also, a woman whose spouse has low sperm count is not a candidate for Clomid. Another mistake is to use Clomid without monitoring. Ideally, follicular tracking should be done to monitor the response to medication. This will help to determine whether to increase the dose or even convert to injectable form of ovulation induction. Another reason is to be able to determine the best time for the couple to meet, usually follicular size of 18 to 22mm. In some cases, we give HCG to induce ovulation in case of timed intercourse. Clomid can be used for about five cycles before stopping. Injudicious use of Clomid should be avoided. It is a form of drug abuse and can be counter- productive without proper monitoring.

PAINS IN MY NIPPLES Sir, I just finished menstruating and I feel pains in my nipples. This is unusual for me. What could it be? Jecinta Alfred, Makurdi This is not uncommon. Most of the time, it is self limiting and it will stop on its own. In some cases it may require mild analgesics if it persists. I will also advise you do self breast examination in case of mass in the breast. If the pain persists, seek medical advice from your family physician. This is to re-emphasize the need for all women to always do self breast examination.

ITCHING FOR THE PAST ONE MONTH My breasts have been itching for the past one month. I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the problem is. Any associated rashes? If there is none, usually it is self limiting and will not require medication. If it persists, an antipuritic cream will suffice. But if it is associated with rashes, it is better to have a proper dermatological assessment.

Please, always include name and address when sending your health enquiries to us. Thank you

KANNY WOOD

TAMBARI MAY 31, 2015

I will forever be indebted to Kannywood – Sadiya Gyale Recently, the Kannywood movie industry bade farewell to one of its own, Sadiya Muhammed, popularly known as Sadiya Gyale. Getting married made her take the decision to leave, an action that put an end to speculations about her social status. In this interview, the new bride speaks about her husband, Kannywood and more.

BY Ibrahim Musa Giginyu For how long have you known your husband? I can’t say I have known him for a very long time, but I am sure we courted long enough to have understood ourselves. Our union is the will of Allah. Today, we are married; all thanks to Allah. We have built a cordial relationship based on understanding and respect for each other.

Photos by: Sani Maikatanga

What have you been up to since you quit Kannywood? I have been around; I only shifted my concentration from the screen business to my own personal business, which entails travelling a lot. However, that doesn’t mean that I boycotted all contacts from the movie industry. I still maintained a very good and mutual relationship with my colleagues in the acting business. Does being married now mean farewell to acting? Yes, of course. As a married woman, acting will no longer be my business. I have done my part as an actress; it is now left for those we left behind to do theirs also. I am grateful to Allah that I was part of the industry, and I participated without any trouble. I have left the industry in peace with everybody. Any regret being an actress? I don’t have any regret. Kannywood has been fair to us all. We have lived by it and

survived by it. Let me state here that I will forever be indebted to the industry; it has done a lot for me and others like me. It was reported that Maryam Raga, your best friend was absent during your wedding. Is everything alright? All I can say is that I enjoy a very good relationship with Maryam Raga. She has been a friend and will always be a friend. Her absence from my wedding activities doesn’t mean we have a problem. We are friends; and I will like to reaffirm that we are still the best of friends. It is widely believed that celebrity marriages do not last long. Are you prepared to prove this notion wrong? I don’t think there is anybody

“The problem is that celebrities are seen as some kind of supernatural people who do not make mistakes.”

in their right senses that will get married and prepare for divorce. The problem is that celebrities are seen as some kind of supernatural people who do not make mistakes. On a daily basis, marriages crash and people do not look at them as being abnormal. But when a celebrity’s marriage crashes, people tend to believe that we are different. The truth is that we are not different from other human beings. However, as a Muslim I believe in destiny, be it good or bad.

However, I will try my best to make this marriage work. More than ever before, I need my fans’ prayers now. That is what I am asking from them; they should pray for me, my husband and our marriage. What is your message to your colleagues in the industry? I want to thank them for being there for me before and after my wedding. They have shown me love and care, and I want to let them know that I really appreciate what they have done.

CULTURE

BY Pupwaya Timothy Dibal

he Kalabari is an ethnic group in Eastern Ijaw, Rivers State. Traditional marriages in Kalabari occur in three forms: Iya, Igwa and Waribiobesime. According to a book titled, The Kalabari Wedding Custom, Iya is the most lawful and highest form of Kalabari marriage. An Iya marriage is not complete until the bibife ceremony, which literally means “buying of the mouth” is undertaken. Bibife signifies three things. First, it signifies a stage in a lawful marriage which gives the bride the right to eat in her husband’s house. In the traditional Kalabari town, a wife for whom the bibife has not been done can cook for her husband but will have to take her meals and snacks to her parent’s house or a house other than her husband’s or his relatives to eat. Secondly, bibife signifies the man’s responsibility towards his wife and his capability and willingness to feed her for the rest of her life. Finally, it signifies and crowns the new communion between the two families. The ceremony involves serving the bride with innumerable types of food. At the appointed time, usually in the evening, the bride is taken to the bridegroom’s home and presented with different varieties of food. She is given the choice to taste and even eat them after a member of her family has examined the foods and certified that they have all been well prepared and contain all the right ingredients. Before she agrees to eat the food set before her, she will dramatise a little. She will be given water to wash her mouth, then soap and a hand towel to wash and clean her hands. A woman from her family takes items from each bowl and enticingly presents them to her to eat. The bride turns her face away from the direction of the enticing food. This offer and refusal ritual is repeated several times. On each occasion, the bride refuses the offer because she knows that the whole set of food belongs to her and the man who ordered their preparation is her husband. As much as bibife is distracting, it does not compare with the distraction and drama of parading the bride to the groom’s home. In the early hours of the evening, she is gorgeously dressed and taken

to her groom’s house with a gas lamp and many praise songs. All through the evening, the bride keeps closed lips in the face of the jeering, singing and praises, although she has the option to laugh or frown. Self-control, dignity, decorum and nonchalance are expected of a Kalabari woman in this counterfoil choice situation.

Comfortable feet, happy you BY Mulikatu Mukaila

Almond oil

omfortable feet translates to a happy you. Cracked heels are a sign of lack of attention to foot care rather than just overexposure or lack of moisturising. Medically, cracked heels are also known as heel fissures. Fissures are regular linear cut wounds and mostly affect the surface level, which comprises of the epidermis. Sometimes it may get deep into the dermis and become painful. Excessive pressure on the feet pads makes the feet want to expand sideways. As the skin surrounding the side of the feet dries, it causes cracked heels.

Foot scrub brush

“Our feet says a lot about us, so we may want to give it the desired care.”

Primarily, the feet needs some care. One may seek help to cure one’s dry and cracked heels and feet by using relief measures that include home remedy treatment options which help treat fungus, one of the main causes of dry and cracked heels. These remedies have some of the best cost effective solutions one can try and experiment with. To get rid of the dry skin on

your heels, exfoliate your feet on a regular basis. Avoid harsh cosmetic exfoliating scrubs; instead you can make your own gentle and natural scrub with honey, apple cider vinegar and rice flour. You will first have to grind a handful of rice until you get a fine but coarse flour. After that, add a few spoons of raw honey to the mixture along with enough apple cider vinegar to obtain a thick paste. If the cracks are very deep, you can add a spoon of olive oil or sweet almond oil to the paste. Soak your feet for 20 minutes in warm water and gently massage with this paste. The vinegar in this cracked heel treatment will help to dissolve the thickened layers of dead skin while the rice flour will gently abrade the top layer of dead skin. Honey and olive oil act as natural moisturisers and will help to keep the skin on your feet soft and moisturized. This will prevent further cracking. Besides, our feet says a lot about us, so we may want to give it the desired care.
