 Kaduna Begins Free Eye Screening For 1,000 Residents The Kaduna State Government, in partnership with Sightsavers and other stakeholders, has commenced a free eye screening exercise aimed at reaching 1,000 residents across the state. The exercise took place on Thursday at Gonin-Gora in Chikun Local Government Area as part of activities marking the 2026 World Sight Day, celebrated under the theme, “Love Your Eyes.” Speaking during the programme, a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Senior Lecturer at Kaduna State University, Dr Stanley Bulus, cautioned residents about the dangers of glaucoma, describing it as a “silent thief of sight.” Bulus explained that the screening exercise was designed to identify eye conditions early and provide treatment or referrals where necessary.

 Teddi Mellencamp bravely showcases brain surgery scars as she battles stage 4 cancer: 'Sick of the wigs'


Teddi Mellencamp, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, recently shared a vulnerable photo on Instagram showing the scars from her emergency brain surgery as she continues her battle with stage 4 melanoma. 


Diagnosed in 2022, the cancer later spread to her lungs and brain. Although doctors confirmed last October that the disease was “gone,” she is not officially considered in remission. 


Mellencamp has been documenting her recovery journey, including her hair regrowth, and asked followers for advice on how to style her short locks now that wigs no longer fit comfortably.


Her candid post drew praise from fans and fellow reality stars, who encouraged her to embrace her natural look. 


Kaitlyn Bristowe and Caroline Stanbury were among those who complimented her short hairstyle, while Mellencamp shared a lighthearted video of her son Cruz attempting to style her hair. 


She joked that his efforts left her resembling one of the Paul brothers, showing her ability to find humor even in difficult circumstances. Mellencamp shares Cruz and daughters Slate and Dove with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave.


Beyond her physical recovery, Mellencamp has been focusing on emotional healing, attending therapy and working to rediscover joy. 


Earlier this month, she revealed she is in a new relationship with an “older man” she affectionately referred to as Derek on her podcast Two Ts in a Pod. 


She credited him with being supportive and keeping her spirits high, saying his humor has been especially meaningful during her cancer journey. 


For Mellencamp, resilience now means not only fighting the disease but also embracing love, laughter, and the strength to move forward.
