Starting the New Year with ‘s Dream Count.

Last year, I read of a lot of academic books and articles, while missing out on some interesting works of art.

Honestly, Chimamanda is truly the best and greatest.
Let’s do more to support young women across the world to be a voice for their communities and their people.

Happy New Year.

At the SABCS, I met one of the Vice Presidents of American Association of Cancer Research (AACR), and was delighted that they provide FREE Membership for Countries that are still building cancer research capacity.

If you are a cancer researcher or clinician, this is your opportunity to be part of a global cancer research community.

This year, 26th December is my 40th birthday, and instead of celebrating, posting pictures, or receiving gifts, I am choosing a different path. I am inviting you, my friends, family, colleagues, partners, and well‑wishers, to help me raise ₦4 million ($2,759) to establish an educational success and excellence prize at my alma mater.

Why This Matters to Me
In 2012, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology/Sociology & Anthropology with a Second Class Upper (CGPA 4.46/5.0) and was named the Best Graduating Student in my department. At the 42nd Convocation Ceremony on 24 January 2013, the University of Nigeria Senate honoured me with a certificate of merit and a cheque for ₦5,000 ($31.40, as at 2013).

I was grateful, but I also knew we could do better.

Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in women globally, resulting in an estimated 207,000 deaths in 2022. The global incidence of ovarian cancer is predicted to increase by 55% by 2050, mainly driven by aging and population expansion in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Nigeria. Despite the increasing burden of ovarian cancer, experiences of women before, during, and after an ovarian cancer diagnosis are largely unknown and scarce in LMICs.

On this premise, the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition ( ) established an oversight committee of scientists, patients, and advocates under the Every Woman Study LMICs. We, the oversight committee, conducted a cross-sectional study using a 59-item survey. We recruited 2531 patients from 82 hospitals in 22 countries.

Most high-income countries (HICs) have adopted precision medicine and targeted therapies, thereby increasing personalised care and treatment; however, in most low-income countries (LMICs), oncology diagnosis and treatment remain one-size-fits-all. Despite the potential of targeted therapies, access remains a significant challenge in most of the LMICs, including Nigeria. Barriers include limited availability of diagnostic technologies, restricted access to targeted therapies, inadequate funding, and insufficient infrastructure.

For example, pertuzumab, a HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody for breast cancer, was not available in Nigeria until five years after its introduction in the United States and Europe. Similarly, pembrolizumab was approved in the United States in 2016, but as of 2021, it was still not readily available in Nigeria. These challenges perpetuate inequities in cancer care, leading to poor patient outcomes, ethical dilemmas for clinicians, strain on health systems, and severe financial hardship for patients and families.

If you know me, you know that I have got the selfie 🤳 hand and hence I have been crowned the Selfie King.

Thanks to God for the opportunities to be a voice for the voiceless and a platform for uplifting thousands of cancer patients across Nigeria and Africa. I will never take this opportunity for granted.
