HOW TO BECOME AN ORGAN DONOR

While many people believe there is an age limit associated with being an organ donor, UNOS chief medical officer David Klassen said no one is too old or too young to donate.

"Every potential donor is evaluated on a case-by-case basis at the time of their death to determine which organs and tissue are suitable for donation," Klassen said. "Cecil's generous and historic gift is a perfect example of that."

As of February, more than 107,000 people are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant in the U.S. and 17 people die each day waiting for a transplant, according to organdonor.gov.

One donor can save up to eight lives by donating a heart, two lungs, a liver, pancreas, two kidneys, and intestines.

Ellen DeGeneres schedules the end of her long-running daytime TV talk show for 2022

Ellen DeGeneres, TV Personality

Talk show host, writer, producer, actress and comedian, Ellen DeGeneres plans to end the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” after its “Season 19” in 2022.

One of her reasons for the intended action according to media reports is “When you're a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged — and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it's just not a challenge anymore”

But according to a BBC report, Ellen DeGeneres has told viewers she is ending her long-running TV show because "I truly have felt like next season was the right time" to bring it to a close.

"The truth is, I always trust my instincts. My instinct told me it's time," she said on her new episode.

In her pre-recorded opening monologue, she said: "I want you to know that I've thought a lot about this decision. I sat with it for a while. I meditated on it."

PDP, APC senators clash over calls for Buhari’s impeachment

Muhammadu Buhari, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

SENATORS Biodun Olujimi (PDP, Ekiti) and Yusuf Yusuf (APC, Taraba), on Wednesday, disagreed over calls for the impeachment of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over his inability to deal with Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, reports Punch Newspapers.

The report establishes that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party senators had last week asked Buhari to rise up to the occasion or risk legislative action while their counterparts in the ruling All Progressives Congress dismissed such calls, insisting that the president was doing his best to tackle the situation.

“Impeachment is not yet on the table”, Senator Olujimi Abiodun (PDP, Ekiti South) said, urging her colleagues not to hesitate to opt for Buhari’s impeachment whenever the need arose, lamenting however, that the Buhari regime was not doing enough to tackle the scourge. “When it is on the table, we would all look at it squarely in the face because if we have a serious problem like what we have in Nigeria, we need to also think seriously about the solution.”

Today, at a stakeholders' meeting on security which included religious leaders, military chiefs, traditional and community leaders, students, unionists and members of the State Executive Council, we got the support of Lagosians to tackle all security challenges in the state.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State gave the message a few days ago via a post on his official social media handle.

“The issue of the unruly behaviour of Okada riders is a major concern and we are determined to deal with this with the strong arm of the Law”, the message read further. “We are introducing First and Last Mile buses next week, which will ply the routes the motorcycles are plying.

“To make the state more secure, we will fully implement the State’s Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law of 2019 which will enable us demolish abandoned buildings and construction sites being used as a safe haven for hoodlums and miscreants.
