Well After A Health Concern at My Annual Medical Physical in May That Sparked Concerns About My Heart I am happy to Say That After A Month of Outpatient treatment and Checks at North Bay Vascular, Fairfield The Result Is Extremely Perfect.

At 61 Doctor Jefferey Indicated In His Final Read that I am the perfect example of a healthy clean black father.

There was Plenty of Medical Jargon, but the Takeaways and Hopefully Inspiration for Those Who Have Similar Cardiac Concerns Are These Keywords!

  • Normal Left and Right Atrium
  • No evidence of Pericardial effusion
  • The Tricuspid Valve Appears Normal with Trivial Tricuspid regurgitation
  • BSA 2.2 M
  • BP! 127/83 mmHg
  • Treadmill Test Results Normal

I thank God for my blood family, I thank God I do not smoke or drink, I thank God for no bad habits and especially I thank God for those who care about my health and well being and the ability to laugh appropriately and laugh as well at things that do not make sense. A lot of people are simply lost without appropriate health care or the sense to get help for mental health problems!

Throughout my trials and tribulations I must especially thank these three female friends

  • Uduak Umanah, the Woman That I Initially Planned to re-marry in 2009 because of Concerns About The Other’s Toxic Habits and internal dangers from a habit that was akin to lead poisoning because of her addiction. Scientifically proven. https://dtsc.ca.gov/2016/02/24/flame-retardant-levels-in-california-breast-milk-decreasing-dtsc-study-finds/ The plan was blessed by God and the Methodist Church. And No Uduak Is Not A Fish Seller from Uyo, but an MBA Graduate from UNIFE. I sponsored the birth of her second child in Aurora, Colorado in 2017 after I declined her plans to move in with me five months before delivery and have the baby at Kaiser, Vacaville, because she was already married.
  • EtHelle, a dear friend from school at the University of Calabar, 700 Club hostess on the Christian Broadcast Network, seen with me in Fairfield in 2019. Watch Ethelle on Common Causes of Heart Attack. Nollywood star Ethel Ekpe-Aderemi, Heart Appeal

  • And of Course Doctor Tiwa Savage, a special friend, and the last person to affectionately hold my hands after her San Francisco Concert in May. I and Son watched her show in San Francisco on May 27.

Now The Only Concerns Are?

That I am Pre-Diabetic and borderline Obese

A Sleep Apnea Condition Triggered By Unusual Criminal Activity in New York in 2013 (In The Bronx It seems) Bottled formation on Ice Cream Over A Man Asleep. The doctor described the cause of Sleep Apnea as hard to detect, a Touch and Go problem it seems exacerbated by a recall. ( Light magnified by bottles in garbage can started blaze that destroyed 5 homes, fire chief says and leads about what designs drawn with bottle on Ice Cream on the body of a State Employee could mean for business and municipalities

Uduak Umanah-Odungide an MBA graduate from UNIFe and a successful entrepreneur from Uyo Akwa Ibom. Legal pathfinder. We have been friends for more than 10 years. I sponsored the 2017 birth of a daughter in Aurora, Colorado. MY BFF. What really happened in New York in May 2013?)

Factor These Additional Evidence. Authentic African Voices Radio Podcasts host Journalists Ben Edokpayi and Los Angeles Based Attorney Edwin Iyke Aimufua at the Fairfield Barnes and Noble after a Lyft Case in San Francisco. Here is the pilot show recorded at a Van Nuys, Los Angeles Studio. One Important Footnote I have moved on from the woman mentioned in this show as my Fiance on advice from the Family in Nigeria.

#DeconstructionOfMyths #AndDangerousStereotypesAboutAfricans

Whether You Like Me or Not We Have Cleanly Proven That We Are Healthy, That we Belong Here and That Hate Is Mental Illness!

Additional Information: After the end of my Annual Medical Exam I passed 100 Percent, No Problem With The Heart Or Body. Doctor’s only concern is Obesity and a Sleep Apnea condition. On the day of my heart exam in the summer I decided to celebrate with cerebral matters at Barnes and Noble Book Stores, you know catching up with World News. As I sat down to work on my computer I noticed a Haggardly looking White Dude With A Red Bull Drink. He looked Confused and seemed not to belong in a bookstore. Of course I continued on my computer work until he sat at a work station nearby. Interestingly as he sat down a picture of Tiwa and Jamil popped up on my phone. The timing was simply surreal and spiritual. With the scornful and empty look on his face he looked like one of them who hates black people. So for the first time after I graduated from a 14-Day Zoom Course @ The King Center’s on “The Fierce Urgency of Now,” Sponsored By Doctor Bernice King and conducted by Doctor Vonetta West (The last time I conversed with anyone there was when my school mate and Los Angeles Based Attorney Iyke Aimufua visited the Bay Area for a Legal Matter about Lyft) I decided to use one of the tactics they taught us at the class. That we must tactfully and peacefully confront racial stereotypes wherever it is manifested. So I looked at the White Man and started this conversation with Tiwa and Jamil’s picture.

Nigerian-American: Hey Brother How Are You Today?

Whiteman Shocked at My Boldness: I am fine

Nigerian-American: This is my friend Tiwa and her son. I know you are a Rock and Roll Fan. But She Is The Queen of Afro beat.

White Man: What is That?

Nigerian: Popular Music from Africa. She was just here in San Francisco. My Son went to watch her.

White Man: So Where Are You from?

Nigerian: I am an American with roots in Africa. I have been here most of my life and I am a 9/11 victim

White Man: I am sorry to hear that.

Nigerian: Too bad. This is home.

White Man: Where is Tiwa from?

Nigerian: A suburb called Isale Eko.

I thank Doctor Bernice King for tactfully defusing an ex tremely explosive situation about The King family. #IamAKing. Another Great Posthumous Win for Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior and hopefully this post helps Grant Wahl’s Widow.

God and Science At Work.

Uduak Umanah, the back up wife. She is an MBA graduate from UnIFE (Where Nobel Laureate Lectured) and not a fish seller.

People, learn to laugh More.

That’s true. Some thing s are just so unbelievably traumatic. So the doctor said Laughter is better than a Corona Jab. Laughter, helps release toxins and is proof of good health and Great therapy to help with the Blood Pressure in these unusually stressful times and obviously no cause for concern in Nigeria as well. I have never been happier this year just watching the WC on my computer, a sentiment shared by this Argentinian reporter in an interview with Lionel Messi.
