    The Chikwe Ihekweazu One – When Health Systems Fail | ONE2ONE (S4 E4)

    What does independence really mean in a world where health crises cross borders faster than politics can respond — and what happens when health systems fail, and who pays the price?In this episode of ONE2ONE, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu — Executive Director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme and former founding Director-General of Nigeria’s Centre for Disease Control — reflects on the real-world consequences of system failure in public health.Drawing on experiences from Nigeria, across Africa, and within the global health system, the conversation explores preventable loss, the cost of delayed response, and what happens when institutions lack the capacity, coordination, or continuity to protect lives.This is not a theoretical discussion. It is an account of what failure looks like on the ground — and why building resilient health systems remains one of the most urgent leadership challenges of our time, both locally and internationally.🕒 Chapters00:00 Opening / this is One2One00:18 Previously on One2One01:39 Building Under Pressure05:10 Health, Sovereignty & Global Dependency07:09 The Cost of Institutional Absence08:17 Meningitis, Preventable Deaths, and Responsibility11:27 Why Institutions Must Be Allowed to Grow11:48 Health Financing and System Reform14:46 Primary Care, Incentives and System Design17:12 Public–Private Collaboration in Healthcare23:09 Leadership, Expertise, and the Next Crisis25:15 What Gives Hope in a Fractured World29:04 Final reflectionsℹ️ About ONE2ONEONE2ONE is a flagship long-form conversation series hosted by Tokunbo Shitta-Bey, featuring in-depth discussions with Africa’s leading thinkers and practitioners across healthcare, governance, business, and culture.Through reflective, unhurried dialogue, the series explores leadership, institutional development, and the ideas that shape how societies function — and fail — under pressure.📡 Broadcast weekly on Channels TV (DSTV) and Channels 24 UK (Sky 515)🌐 Streamed globally on YouTube, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms🔔 Subscribe to ONE2ONE for conversations shaping the future of leadership, governance, and enterprise across Africa.📺 Watch on TV:* DSTV — Mondays at 8:30 PM (Repeat: Saturdays at 3:30 PM)* Channels 24 UK (Sky 515) — Sundays at 1:30 PM (Repeat: Wednesdays at 6:30 PM)This conversation is presented in multiple edited formats, each intentionally shaped for its audience and viewing context.#One2One #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #Institutions #Leadership #Africa #HealthSystems #WHO #Governance #Sovereignty#Nigeria #HealthPolicy #GlobalGovernance #InstitutionBuilding #PublicSectorLeadership #HealthSecurity

    The Segun Odegbami One (Part 2): Beyond the Game — From Pitch to Purpose | One2One (S3 E12)

    For many great footballers and athletes, the end of a successful sporting career marks a quiet retreat from relevance — and, in some cases, into relative obscurity.For Segun Odegbami, it marked the beginning of something deeper.In Part 2 of this three-part One2One conversation, “Mathematical” reflects on how purpose emerged within the game — both on and off the pitch — through the discipline of teamwork, the forging of national unity, and the experience of representing a strong and diverse country with immense collective power on the world stage. He also explores how that early sense of responsibility continued to shape his life beyond football.Odegbami speaks candidly about football as a rare unifying force — a space where identity, ethnicity, and difference dissolve into shared mission and national pride. These formative experiences, he reflects, laid the foundations for his later work as a broadcaster, advocate, sports ambassador, and public voice.Moving fluidly between playing years and post-playing life, this episode examines how sport can shape character, civic consciousness, and a lifelong commitment to service.This is not yet a conversation about governance or reform. It is about meaning, belonging, and the discovery of purpose through sport.In this episode, we explore:* Purpose discovered on the pitch — not only after it* Team, discipline, and collective responsibility* Football as a force for national unity and social cohesion* Representing a diverse nation with shared pride and purpose* Carrying values from sport into life, voice, and public service🎙 This is Part 2 of a three-part One2One series with Segun Odegbami* Part 1: “Mathematical” — The Making of a Legend* Part 2: Beyond the Game — From Pitch to Purpose* Part 3: Legacy, Governance & Africa’s Sporting Future⏱️ CHAPTERS0:00 Welcome to one2one0:18 Previously on one2one0:30 From Regional Football to the National Team1:05 Why He Never Considered Coaching2:00 Planning Life Beyond Football2:30 The Origin of "Mathematical"3:10 Precision, Intelligence & Playing Style4:45 Club Rivalries, National Unity6:10 Discipline, Friendship & Team Culture8:15 The Power of Football to Unite Nigeria9:20 National Identity Above Ethnic Difference10:45 Nigeria's Greatest Strength - Unity12:40 AFCON 1980 - A Defining National Moment14:10 Walking Into the National Stadium Final15:20 Scoring First and Experiencing Football "Heaven"16:40 Then Vs Now - How the Spirit Changed?18:05 What Today's Players Are Missing19:10 Rebuilding National Spirit Through Sport20:35 Founding the International Sports Academy 21:15 Sports Education & Social Mobilityℹ️ About ONE2ONEOne2One is a flagship conversation series hosted by Dr Tokunbo Shitta-Bey, featuring in-depth conversations with Africa’s most visionary thinkers, innovators, and cultural trailblazers — individuals shaping the continent’s future through ideas, creativity, and purpose.📡 Broadcast weekly on Channels TV (DSTV) and Channels 24 UK (Sky 515)🌐 Streamed globally on YouTube, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms🔔 Subscribe to One2One for more in-depth conversations shaping the future of leadership, culture, governance, and enterprise across Africa.📺 Watch the full episode on TV:• DSTV: Mondays at 8:30 PM (Repeat: Saturdays at 3:30 PM)• Channels 24 UK (Sky 515): Sundays at 1:30 PM (Repeat: Wednesdays at 6:30 PM)#SegunOdegbami#BeyondTheGame#FromPitchToPurpose#One2One#One2OneWithTokunboShittaBey#AfricanFootball#NationalUnity#SportsAndSociety#PurposeThroughSport#FootballAndIdentity#AfricanIcons

    Affectionately nicknamed “Mathematical” for his precision and composure on the field, Segun Odegbami has, for more than four decades, stood as one of the most iconic figures in African football — admired not only for his brilliance on the pitch, but for the discipline, intelligence, and restraint that defined his game.As a member of the legendary Green Eagles team that won Nigeria’s first Africa Cup of Nations title on home soil in 1980 — and helped define Nigeria’s sporting identity at a pivotal moment in the nation’s history — Segun Odegbami’s career sits at the intersection of sport, culture, and national consciousness.In Part 1 of this three-part One2One conversation, we return to the beginning. From childhood and early influences to elite competition and national acclaim, Odegbami reflects on the formative years that shaped him into the player — and influential figure — he has become. We explore the habits, values, and inner resolve behind the legend, and the deep personal cost that often goes unseen.This episode is not yet about power, politics, or reform.It is about becoming.In this episode, we explore: • Early life, education, and formative influences • Entry into elite and international football • The discipline behind technical brilliance • Fame, pressure, and national expectation • The moments that quietly shaped his worldviewThis episode lays the foundation for the deeper conversations that follow — about voice, responsibility, governance, and the future of African and global sport.🎙 This is Part 1 of a three-part One2One series with Segun Odegbami • Part 1: “Mathematical” — The Making of a Legend • Part 2: Beyond the Game — From Pitch to Purpose • Part 3: Legacy, Governance & Africa’s Sporting Future📺 Watch.
