October 20, 2020, now termed
Black Tuesday, will remain a date
Nigerians, especially the youths,
will never forget in history.
Armed soldiers, under the cover
of darkness, marched in on
Nigerian youths on a peaceful
protest against police brutality at the
Lekki Toll Gate, and rained bullets
on them, killing several.
Since then, Nigerians have
waited with baited breath to hear
from their president. Almost at press time, spoke, calling on
the youths to end the protests as their voices have been
heard. However, the speech left many even more
frustrated, as his it lacked empathy for the families of those
who lost their loved ones at the Lekki massacre.
As usual with everything Nigerian, an ethnic narrative is
being thrown into the mix to water down this bloody attack
on innocent Nigerian youths.
One thing is clear: It is easier for one diagnosed with the
dreaded breast cancer to live than a peaceful Nigerian
protester with no history of any medical ailment.
Events of the past two weeks in the country have been
so engaging, turning October, the breast cancer awareness
month, into one of protests, arson, unwarranted killings,
looting, jail breaks, and all sorts of unpleasantness.
As we pray for peace for our dear country, we share with
you the cheery story of Eno Essien, CEO, Rheytrak, a
vehicle tracking and recovery
company, who survived breast
J . E
cancer against all odds.

From deep chocolate to light sand,
the entire spectrum of brown is the
colour of the moment. Designers like
Bottega Veneta and Jacquemus have
used the earthy colour this season as
a way to contrast sexy silhouettes, or
ground feminine pieces, resulting in
an understated elegance hard to
achieve with any other hue.
Unlike other dark neutrals, it’s easy to
mix shades of brown in one outfit.
Paired with a variety of other hues,
brown looks surprisingly

INTERVIEW
Eno Essien:
Life After Cancer
Words By - Yemisi Suleiman
In honour of breast cancer awareness month, we speak with Eno Essien, Managing Director
and CEO of Rheytrak, a Vehicle Tracking and Recovery company in Nigeria, who is a cancer
survivor and an inspiring young woman who fought life with a positive attitude.
For Ms. Essien, raising awareness about breast cancer holds a special place in her heart and her
voice has not been silent since overcoming the killer disease. She has spoken in many fora,
using her testimony to rekindle hope in people who have lost hope.
Eno who is the only female CEO in the vehicle tracking industry, shares her cancer story, life
after survival, career heights and more.
How old were you when you were diagnosed and
what was the diagnosis?
I was 30years old and the diagnosis was cancer of
the breast.
How did you feel when you were first diagnosed,
physically and psychologically?
I felt a lump in my breast and after series of
investigations, I had a biopsy done. The histology
result came in. I remember that early Wednesday
morning when a pastor friend came in, my mother and
the pastor sat me down and told me that the lab result
was out, and that the lump was cancerous. I was
consumed with fear. I was numb. I went blank. At the
time, I didn’t know people survived cancer so that
made it worse. I was in shock; in fact, I died, but God
strengthened me.
Who, what, or where did you turn to?
Those were days of roller coaster of emotions. It
became clear to me that I had to turn to God, trust Him
and believe every promise in my bible. My upbringing
as a Christian and my faith in the Lord, saw me
through the dark and uncertain days that followed.
I bought a new 4 in 1 translation bible and, that
turned out to be one of the best decisions I took. I was
able to read those promises in different translations
and that gave me a better understanding of them. The
only option I had was to have faith.
So yes, faith, the mustard-like faith in God was my
anchor.
How did your family take the news of your
diagnosis?
My family is the absolute best. They have been my
strength, extremely supportive. They held my hands
and walked with me. They gave me more strength,
courage, and support than I could have asked for.
They relocated with me to England. My mom was
doing her Ph.D. at the University of Lagos (UNILAG)
then and she gave it all up for me.
There was never a day I went to the hospital alone
even if it was for a blood test. My family was with me
throughout and kept all my hospital appointments with
me. I believe they were even more drained than I was,
having to care for me. I have the best family ever. They
have never left me even to this day. The sickness
brought us even closer
We know that a mammogram is the best test to
make an early diagnosis of breast cancer but many
women are scared because they think it is very
painful. What was your experience like?
I would not say a mammogram is painful, I would
rather say a mammogram is uncomfortable. I was told
that Mammograms are usually done on women aged
40years and above, this made it difficult for me to get
one done in Lagos. All the centers kept refusing to do
one on me despite telling them about the lumps I had.
Because my family and I wanted the best care and
based on advice from the surgeon in Lagos, within two
weeks of getting the diagnosis, we were out of Nigeria
and off to England for medicare. My elder sister who is
British by birth, lives in England so that was the first
choice. We met with one of the best breast surgeons in
England who incidentally is a Nigerian. He gave us a run
down on the way the treatment would go.
I had a lumpectomy, the lump, the surrounding
tissues and the lymph nodes suspected to have been
infiltrated by the tumor were removed. This was followed
by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The chemotherapy
agent is quite toxic and probably the worst thing you can
do to the human body. We said no to it. My mum was
vehement about it, she said it was a bad gamble, which
will be too destructive for me to be subjected to.
You see, medicine is practiced differently in some
places. They did not dismiss us nor become angry with
us. They assembled their entire team, surgeon,
oncologist, nurses, everyone and invited my family and I
and painstakingly educated us. Yes it was toxic, yes it
was destructive but medicine has made a lot of
improvement and moved forward from the last we knew
of it. They showed us why what they were offering us
was the best option, so at last we agreed and we started
on the chemotherapy.
The treatment was terrible. I lost all my hair, all my nails
came out from the nail bed, my tongue was black, eating
became an impossible task, I suffered neuropathy. It was
so bad that I was unable to sleep on the bed. I would fill
the bath tub with water and sleep inside it over night and
then have my family members take turns to check up on
me so I don’t drown.
Drinking water was such a challenge. It was a difficult
unforgettable experience. But the Grace of the Almighty
God saw me through.
Medicine keeps advancing and now people take
chemotherapy without experiencing all the sickness, pain
and torture I went through which is fantastic.
What kinds of things did you do to distract yourself
when you were going through treatments, either at
home or at the hospital?
The breast surgeon had hammered on how
important it was for me to try to live a normal life so, I
stayed as happy as I could most of the time, and did a lot
of fun things with my family. They took me on boat
cruises and several adventures and fun places. We did a
lot of retail therapy too. Cancer made me a happier
person and so I focused on living and loving.
The only thing I was not allowed to do was travel
outside of the UK, to avoid contracting any kind of
infection.
We know that about 10% of all breast cancers are
hereditary. Was that the case with you?
No, mine wasn’t hereditary; no one in my family
lineage ahead of me and after me has ever had cancer.
In your opinion do you think Nigeria is doing enough
in terms of creating awareness and treatment for
breast cancer, if not what would you suggest?
A lot of work is being done in creating awareness, it’s
an ongoing thing. I did not take my treatment in Nigeria
so, it will be unfair for me to comment based on the
unpleasant stories I hear without having experienced
what goes on.

INTERVIEW
What was your biggest challenge during entire
cancer ordeal?
That would have to be the cost of treatment. It was a
really very expensive treatment and I was treated in the
United Kingdom as a private fee-paying patient; so you
can imagine the cost. I don’t know which kills faster
between the sickness and the bills. Extremely expensive
as it was, the good Lord provided, He doesn’t fail. My
family and I footed the bills with a few good friends. I
spoke to the hospital and negotiated a payment plan and
they were extremely supportive. But when you are
scheduled for any appointment or procedure, you better
show up with the payment receipt. Yes, it was very
expensive but not more expensive than my life.
At what point did Rheytrak come to be?
Rheytrak was founded in 2007. I was already in
business for about 6 years when I got the diagnosis.
Thankfully, I had built a structure so the business ran
exceptionally well in my absence. My team, headed by
my Business Development Manager did fantastically.
How has it been over the years?
I have been living and trying to make an impact. I
have been able to reach out to quite a number of afflicted
people, both the patients and their relatives within and
outside the country.
I have given them all the information at my disposal,
my experience, what treatment they can access, cost
estimates, and all kinds of support.
By God’s grace, I have overcome this killer disease
and my voice has not been silent.
I have been invited to speak in many fora and a lot of
people who had lost hope have rekindled their hope,
hearing from me and seeing me.
Also, people have appreciated and encouraged me;
for instance, the Nigerian Stock Exchange invited me to
ring the closing bell in commemoration of World Cancer
Day in February. This is something I really treasure as
this recognition placed me in a special position.
You see, 30 years ago, my dad, then the Editor of the
now rested National Concord newspaper rang the
Exchange closing bell. We made history as the first
father and daughter to perform the ceremonial bell
ringing in Nigeria. Recently, on the 33rd anniversary of
my state, Akwa Ibom, the State recognized and
celebrated us for being the first father and daughter to
do this. So, I can say, God made all things to work for
my good. He turned the bad situation for my good. I
killed cancer by God’s grace instead of it killing me.
Who or what is your biggest inspiration in
life?
God Almighty, myself, my journey.
My family; my parents and my siblings and
the amazing bond we share.
I am inspired by the several stories of
strong, powerful, successful women ahead of
me.
You are obviously very fashionable,
what does fashion mean to you and
how would you describe your
dress sense?
Fashion is about showing your
identity. It is the first thing people
look at to interpret who you are. It
shows what choices you make,
what type of person you are and
shows the world what you stand for.
It gives a glimpse into someone’s
personality. It’s how you

differentiate yourself from other people. Ultimately, it
is an individual’s statement of self-expression.
Fashion is what I’m comfortable in. Comfort is key. I
wear clothes that suit my body type. My style is
simple and easy.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I read books. Watch movies and religious
programmes. I cook. I spend time with my family.
Where are you now in your journey with Cancer?
This is eight years after. I am totally healed and
whole and I know that when the Lord heals, He heals
completely.
What advice would you give to any body facing
cancer or any life-threatening illness?
First of all, just breathe, you will be fine. You are
sick and should go to the hospital. That is the only
place people with sickness are treated. That is why
hospitals are built. Then back up the treatment with
prayers. Have faith and believe that you will
overcome and stay there because a doubleminded
man will not receive. Rather than
google about the disease, search your
Bible for healing scriptures. When you
do start treatment, please cut your
hair. Seeing my hair fall was
difficult. Stay happy because your
strong spirit will see you through
this infirmity.
You can also reach out to
me, I am happy to hold your
hand and walk the journey
with you as I have done with
so many women.

appealing to most women. Porn is a lousy
template for a guy who wants to be a good
lover.”

Be A Sexually Confident Man
A
modern man has to deal with the sexual
media content all the time. Pictures of
handsome, athletic, half naked men are
shown in mainstream magazines and street
billboards in every city. Easy access to porn where
every woman seems pleased by her partner in every
sexual position can cause a man to feel insecure
when he is entering the bedroom with his lady.
Here’s how to be more confident in bed.
Educating yourself is one of the best things you
can do in order to feel more confident. Unfortunately,
they don’t teach “how to please women 101” in Sex
Education. “Sex education usually just covers the
basics of biology,” says certified counselor, Jonathan
Bennett.
Men aren’t normally taught how to please a
woman; usually, that comes through experience and
open communication with partners. Consequently,
men with little sexual experience can feel insecure
and clueless, leading to a lack of confidence.
Be realistic about a woman’s desires and wants.
Another thing that’s likely killing your confidence in
bed is, focusing on what the media tells you about
what ladies value when it comes to things like penis
size, and the duration that sex is supposed to last.
Sexual intimacy is more about quality versus
longevity. For most, “a good orgasm can take all of two
minutes and 80% of women orgasm by clitoral
stimulation rather than penetration.’’
Stop viewing intercourse as a performance -this is a
two-person effort, if not ,one will just settle for
masturbation. Stop feeling pressured to perform and if
you mess it up, it’s all on you. “Guys sometimes feel
anxious about sexual interactions because they think
of sex as something on which they’ll be judged,” says
Put more effort into your appearance by
going to the gym; and if your closet mostly
consists of ironic t-shirts and worn-out jeans,
of course you’re not going to feel confident
stripping down and giving it to your girl. The
fastest way to boost your confidence is
building it from the outside to inside. There’s
no better aphrodisiac than feeling like you look
good, so give yourself that gift. You’re going to
feel really good about your body when you’ve
lost the weight or gotten fit, and that’s going to
make you less self conscious in bed.
In addition to working out, show the rest of
your body some love, by getting yourself some
great grooming products. You will feel good
about yourself, and this will increase your
confidence in bed and out of bed.
Losing some weight and buying
some new clothes really cannot hurt.
So, treat sex as a regular activity. No
need to start acting differently,
intercourse is a normal act that people
do indulge in, like eating, laughing, or
sleeping. See it as one of your goals
and make it a natural part of your
relationship. A well-maintained body is
one of your most reliable assets when
it comes to sex.
On a final note, learn what she
likes and become the best lover she
has ever had. If a woman is naked
with you in bed, what other proof of
your attractiveness and manhood do
you need?
Stop over thinking and have fun!

How to create an Accent Wall in your Bedroom
Designing your bedroom is not as easy as you think. Regardless of your
bedroom size, a bed is always that one big thing that is going to be in the center
of it all amongst other accessories such as lights, furniture etc.
The best way to add character to your bedroom is to create an accent wall and
give it that allure that it was so badly missing.
A room has four walls and you may be wondering which wall to use as the
accent wall. The first thing you notice when you go into a bedroom is usually
the bed, so your best option is the wall behind the bed.
Here are tips on how to make your accent wall alluring and add character.
Bring nature indoor
A bedroom is a place where you come to relax, de-stress, and rest. And what is a better
place to do all three than with nature? A very effective way of doing this is to hang plants
on the feature wall. It is simple but very effective. It gives a whole atmosphere to the
room and creates a relaxing environment.
Paint
This is the simplest, most affordable and easiest way to decorate your accent wall. You
can paint the whole accent wall with one bold paint colour or play around with paint by
using stripes, patterns, circles.
Wallpapers
Wallpapers are an amazing way to make your walls create the WOW factor. They
work best in a room where the other walls are of brighter and saturated colours, or
where the majority of the décor in the room is made up of solid colours.
Wood
Wood paneling can add a natural and warm element to your room.
It can be used as a headboard in your bedroom.
Photos
Put all your favourite photos on the accent wall. A bedroom is a very personal
space and your collection of photos also adds a very personal touch to the
bedroom and is a very good way of seeing your most cherished memories every
day and lighten up your mood.
Tiles
Tiles are a very interesting way to decorate the accent wall. E.g. marble, mosaics,
and other materials give your walls that extra punch to make your bedroom
awesome.

Finding
allure after
Mastectomy
By - Josephine Agbonkhese
Angelina Jolie opted for double
mastectomy in 2013 to stay alive
There’s just something mysterious about
the woman’s breasts. These two stylised
protrusions on the woman’s chest have
always been seen especially by the
opposite sex, as unusual and fascinating.
As a result, from childhood, the male child is
remarkably more obsessed with the mother’s
breasts than the female, seeing them as a source
of food and comfort. As the child progresses into
adulthood, this obsession is transferred to those of
his lover.
“The breasts were the first things I was ever
introduced to as a child. Remember, even the
Bible says the child will always go the way he was
trained. So, we’ve been so wired from birth. That’s
why you see babies swing their legs in excitement
while sucking from their mother’s breasts. As a
father, I get really jealous seeing this because I
feel they are mine,” Johnson Ariyo, a 35-year-old
Computer Engineer, said to Vanguard Allure of the
attraction to a woman’s breasts.
“Read your Bible very well and you will find that
one of the things which made Adam eat from Eve
even when he knew that was the forbidden fruit,
were her breasts. The fall of great men have often
been because of the woman’s breasts” says Elias
Ebohon, a Lagos residence.
But the breasts, which clearly defines a
woman’s femininity, can also be extremely lethal
- no thanks to breast cancer. In extreme cases, a
woman may require a mastectomy in other to stay
alive.
A mastectomy, which can be done as part of
treatment for breast cancer or, in some cases, to
help prevent breast cancer in women who have a
high risk for it, refers to the surgical removal of one
or both breasts.
As frightening as this might sound, frankly,
one only just has to be a woman to be at risk of
breast cancer, and thousands of women globally
are opting for mastectomy in order to stay alive.
Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie, in 2013 for
example, had to undergo double mastectomy to
reduce her chances of getting breast cancer after
her doctor estimated she had an 87% risk of the
disease.
But how does life feel post-mastectomy since
the breasts also serve the aesthetic value of
adding glamour to the woman’s silhouette?
Some survivors bare their minds.
“I am comfortable in my own skin” says Anne
Peter (not real names), a 41-year-old breast
cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy
in 2017. “I do not feel one inch less of a woman.
Mastectomy doesn’t make us less beautiful or
feminine. In fact, society needs to teach women to
accept ourselves more as humans than as sexy
women.”
For Adeosun Bosede Adeyombo, a 58-year-old
survivor who went through a single mastectomy as
part of her breast cancer treatment, all she feels
post-mastectomy is peace and happiness.
“It doesn’t change anything. In fact, it is only
when I’m in the room that I remember I have only
one breast. When I’m outside, I don’t remember
at all and you will never know anything happened
to me. It is all about faith; and survival also heavily
involves money. It does not affect my self-esteem
in any way. Thank God my husband too is very
understanding.
“In fact, removing the affected breast makes me
always happy because the pain is gone. We have
a support group that also teaches us how to feel
good about ourselves without feeling awkward.
Now, all I do is follow-up checks; I do not have to
worry about cancer anymore. I also ensure I don’t
eat junk foods. I make sure I cook my food myself;
all my foods are natural now.”
While survivors might feel indifferent about
losing one or both breasts to stay alive, one
wonders what the actual feeling of the man who
finds the woman’s breasts fascinating, will be.
Ugbeni Francis, a Lagos-based realtor, told
Vanguard Allure his biggest attractions to his wife
are her intelligence and industriousness rather
than any body part.
“Naturally, God has made us complete.
Once such happens, as humans, it has a way of
reducing some attraction. But as a Christian, I will
accept it in good faith.
“Instead of it triggering a divorce, it will
strengthen me more to be with my partner. I will
do all I can to show her more empathy; it shouldn’t
reduce my love in any way. Otherwise, such a
survivor could suffer depression.
“I must say, however, that my first points of
attraction to my wife are her intelligence and
industriousness.
“She is intelligent and hardworking. Facially,
she is also very beautiful. For me, her intelligence
is the asset I have. So, the breasts do not matter,”
Ugbeni explained.
Ebohon Stanley, a 29-year-old bachelor thinks
differently.
“Why would I stick to a woman who has lost
her breasts? What then I’m I marrying? What
will even take me to her in the first place? I won’t
have anything to play with! No feeding bottle will
be like the breasts. I’m sorry to say this but if we
were married before the ailment, I will have to seek
pleasure outside. Though it may not affect my
marriage, I do not think I will find it easy even if she
goes for reconstruction.”
Bayo Adesina, a 33-year-old about to walk
down the aisle, said that no deformity would make
him turn his back on the woman in his life.
“The breasts should not be an issue because
love and companionship are most important.
Personally, I do not think I should abandon anyone
simply because of any deformity because I do
not know what the next minute would result to
for me. A cousin of mine always mocked a lady
with crippled legs in his neighbourhood. Then,
suddenly, he was involved in an auto-crash with
his friend and he lost an eye. So, mastectomy
should not affect any relationship. Besides,
marriage is supposed to be for better for worse.”
Mastectomy is real; just as breast cancer is
real—and more and more women are choosing to
stay alive by opting for the removal of their breasts
to cut down their risks of breast cancer. While
some consider a breast reconstruction procedure
after a mastectomy, others opt for using a breast
form or prosthesis (inside the bra or attached to
the body to wear under their clothes), or even the
option of going flat (not wearing a breast form).
Whichever option a survivor chooses to
embrace, as the global community spreads
awareness on breast cancer this October, it is only
humane that society understands the importance
of helping survivors embrace their new bodies.
At present, due to fear of stigmatisation
caused by ignorance on the part of members of
the public, most breast cancer survivors dread
being identified as one; especially those who had
to undergo a mastectomy. There is therefore, a
need for more awareness on this reality which is
currently the new normal for millions of women
worldwide, who would rather die with this secret
than open up.

With Yemisi Suleiman
This week on Instagram Moments shows some iconic images and events
from the unrest at #ENDSARS protest.
They took all my years of

The #EndSARS protest took another dimension last
week as hoodlums under the guise of protesters,
took to streets in Lagos destroying government and
private properties including; small scale businesses.
One of the Bussiness owners affected by this
mayhem, was Nollywood actress Uche Elendu, who not
long ago opened a lifestyle store in Lagos. The actress
who was obviously depressed by this, said while she was
still struggling to recover from the shock of innocent lives
taken at the Lekki shootings, her work and investment is
gone, looted by the very people they are fighting for.
She wrote “ They took all my years of struggle and hardwork
from me.. everything (with the heartbroken emoji) .. I thank
God for life. Posterity will judge all of you. E shock me ooooo.”
