(Image credit: Brandon Gullion)Frank Hannon is known for his ’80s rock stylings with Tesla, but he’s not leaning into those sounds on Reflectionshis new instrumental album, which has more of a Western tinge to it. “I started taking my guitar playing to another level of simplicity – slowing down and trying to express myself,” he explains. He was influenced by a series of personal losses, including that of his father-in-law, Dickey Betts. “I was feeling that,” he says. “and also, a few friends had passed away, along with the pain my wife and I were going through.”That’s when he recalled what Betts had taught him. “He obsessively and intently put 100 percent into everything he did.

Outbound medical tourism is showing signs of decline. While Nigerians still spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on foreign healthcare, recent CBN data shows a sharp drop in forex allocation for medical travel—from $3.82 million in 2023 to just $2.41 million officially recorded in 2024. Over 95% of 2024’s spending occurred in January, with six months recording zero allocation. That’s not just a dip—it’s a signal of change. Why? Because Nigeria is finally treating healthcare as a legacy, not a luxury. But what about Japa? Yes, over 15,000 Nigerian doctors currently practice abroad.
