100 Million Africans Suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
An Innovative Solution to Africa's PTSD Crisis

~ By Brian Rees, M.D., M.P.H.; David O'Connell, Ph.D.; and David Leffler, Ph.D.

For over a decade, 18 African nations have been ravaged by war, exposing military personnel and civilians to violence and trauma. As a result, one hundred million Africans now suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and in parts of Africa, 50 percent or more of the population is afflicted with PTSD. Its effects debilitate individuals and ripple into their families and communities. PTSD affects not only military combatants but also anyone who witnesses or experiences extremely terrifying, tragic or traumatic events such as natural disasters, rape, torture or kidnapping.

Nigeria: From One Clueless President To Another Clueless President?

Nigeria: From One Clueless President to Another Clueless President?

If many Nigerians said the immediate past president of the largest democracy in Africa was clueless due to his lack of administrative experience and executive expertise in governance at the national level after his executive failures as the governor of one of the most underdeveloped states in Nigeria with a small population of about two million people, but collecting one of the largest annual federal revenue allocations of more than N170 billion every year that he failed to use to develop his state and improve the lives of his people; what then will they call the new president who has long years of administrative experience in executive government from when he was a military state governor to a federal commissioner and then Head of State of Nigeria?
Has he shown us that he is not as clueless as his predecessor?
Lest we forget, experience does not guaranty competence or expertise in office.
