The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Wednesday March 2nd, 2022 – Dr. Seuss Day
Theodor Seuss Geisel, commonly known by his pen name Dr. Seuss, was a writer, poet and cartoonist. Though best known as a children’s author (he released a whopping forty-six books for tykes), his career also saw him work as an illustrator for advertising campaigns and a political cartoonist during the Second World War. He was also a true perfectionist, known to discard 95% of his material before settling on a theme for a new book, sometimes spending up to a year writing a single story, and preferring payment upon completion, rather than in advance.
March 2nd is a celebration of his life and works, as it was on this day in 1904 that he entered the world. Having lived eighty-seven years and made an incredible impact on numerous generations, he died in 1991 at his home in La Jolla, California. His many bizarre, colourful and zany tales are still cherished by young and old alike, and, having been translated into more than twenty languages, are read all across the world every single day.

Abba Kyari, a supercop gone rogue by Kola King
Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari was the poster boy of the Nigerian Police. Many regarded him as a supercop due to his many exploits in crime-fighting. He was the epitome of efficiency and effectiveness. He loomed large in the public consciousness as a result of his exploits in crime-fighting and crime-bursting. It was as though he was born to fight crime. No matter the complexity of the case, once Kyari was drafted to handle any such case, he would within a short time crack it and bring the culprits to heel. He had resolved many crime cases ranging from kidnapping to armed robbery that had defied the routine police investigations. He was a super cop who had the Midas touch. Little wonder the House of Representatives awarded him a special honour in recognition of his crime-busting exploits.
