CARTHAGE â Sgt. Ryan G. Mason, a decorated Army veteran who grew up in Carthage and was deployed to Iraq months after 9-11, who was known as a loyal patriot, inspiring brother and romantic husband, died last week after battling cancer that apparently originated overseas.Â
He was 36.Â
Sgt. Mason died Jan. 28 with his family by his side at a hospital in El Paso, Texas, after having been diagnosed in 2019 with throat-targeting esophageal cancer. He shattered his prognosis of three months to live in his fight for more moments with his two young children, and to be there for his mother, sister and wife â the three women who helped shape his life.
ABSTRACT: With the COVID-19’s impacts to humanity, some have quickly shouted, believed
and thought abusively to the end of globalization. But in this paper, following
to the dimension of the strategic approach of analysis, tinged with a bit of
globalism, I propose to explain why globalization could not end with the
COVID-19’s impacts. In total, I advance successively throughout this paper,
five (5) core arguments, which together ostensibly support my central point, pointing to the impossibility of arriving at the
end of globalization with the COVID-19’s impacts. These five (5) core
arguments are: COVID-19 as a pro-globalization

The renowned psychiatrist, who once delivered a lecture at the Federal Psychiatric Hospital, Uselu, Benin City, recently inaugurated his non-governmental organisation, the Legionnaire for Mankind’s Health in The Netherlands. In this online interview, he speaks with EBENEZER ADUROKIYA about his plans to tackle mental illness in Nigeria with a special interest in Delta State. Excerpts:
Why did you decide to establish the NGO, Legionnaire for Mankind’s Health?
The population of Nigeria, now about 200 million people, is mostly younger than 40 years. The mean life expectancy is far below 60 years. This is caused by many early deaths before age five.
