One of our most passionate alumni is Alex John Luketa from Tanzania, whose passion is connecting African students with education opportunities in the US at VIU.

By KUPOLUYI AyomikunOluwakemi The thought of visiting your doctor for a medical checkup can somehow be scary but it is probably the secret for one’s long life. Have you been diagnosed of diabetes mellitus? Do you   living with the disease? The following are tips to manage the disease, therefore, relax as you go through them. Being diagnosed as diabetic patient should not be viewed with hopelessness as if it is the end of the world for you. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that occurs when the pancreas is no longer able to make insulin or when the body cannot make good use of the insulin it produces. Insulin is a peptide hormone that helps to transport glucose from the blood into the cells for conversion into energy. Hyperglycemia is simply an increase in blood glucose due to insulin malfunction. It is believed that diabetes affects about 350 and 400 million people worldwide.  Half of these people are not even aware they have this condition!

MY CAREER HEALTH TIPS Dr Samuel Awosolu                                                                In a society where large majorities are set in looking for quick fixes, hustle and bustle rat race life style.    It does not seem out of place that the aura of medication for any ailment rather than consulting the appropriate professional would rather go for concoctions pills, capsules etc. The society is almost certainly lawless regards regulation of peddling of all manners of drugs, medications, ‘wonder’ drugs.  The field of dentistry is teeming with many instances of self medication rather than professional advice.

By Brian Tracy There are four principles to effective marketing strategy. Each of these principles must be thought through carefully and then continually revisited as the business grows and changes. Any changes in any one of these areas can have an enormous impact on the sales of profitability of the business. Principle One: Specialisation You must decide exactly which area of your product or service market you are going to specialise in. You cannot be all things to all customers. Too many businesses make the mistake of trying to offer too many products or services to too many types of customers at too many prices in too many ways. This is not the way to wealth. Principle Two: Differentiation This is perhaps the most important strategic marketing principle of all. All business success requires a differentiation of some kind. All business success requires that you be both different from and better than your competitors in some clear, distinct way.
