Nigeria has lost one of its true unsung heroes.

Veteran nurse Regina Okeke
Mrs. Okeke was among the brave medical workers on the front lines during the civil war, a time filled with hunger, fear, and scarce medical supplies. Nurses like her operated under immense pressure, often having to improvise treatments, ration medications, and put their own lives on the line every single day to save others.

In an era when hospitals were targeted and safety was a luxury, Regina Okeke chose to prioritize her duty over her fears. Her contributions extended far beyond medicine — she embodied strength, hope, and humanity in a time that was anything but humane.
Regrettably, like many who served during the war, her sacrifices often went unnoticed. There were no national accolades, no viral tributes — just a quiet commitment and even quieter acknowledgment. Veteran nurse Regina Okeke
Her passing has sparked renewed discussions about how Nigeria remembers — or sometimes forgets — those who bore the burden of keeping lives together amid conflict. Veteran nurse Regina Okeke
As the generation that experienced the Biafra War gradually diminishes, Nigerians are faced with a crucial question: Are we doing enough to document, honor, and preserve the stories of those who truly served?
Because history isn’t just the domain of politicians and generals — it also belongs to nurses like Regina Okeke, who saved lives when the nation was on the brink of collapse.
May her soul rest in peace.
