habex005: well, the one impossed before is not bringing any result, let just hope this new directive will bring back our girls.......

Guy forget about the girls they are long gone.lets taalk about the recemt one, like the police men case.

Seems GEJ's government is God sent aftall...just pray they dont fluctuate.

Pastor Lesego Daniel of the Rabboni Centre Ministries, South Africa made headlines early this year when he made his church members eat grass, claiming that eating grass will bring them closer to God. The backlash he got from that stunt obviously didn't affect him because he's still treating his members like animals.

He's pictured below stepping on his obedient members during a deliverance service recently.

Omotola says power has
improved in Nigeria, Has power increased in your area?

The Japanese government has offered to
release an anti-influenza drug called
Favipiravir, which they claim they developed for the treatment of new and re-emerging viral diseases, including Ebola. They say the drug can treat Ebola and other influenza viral diseases.

Announcing the offer to newsmen yesterday August 25th in Tokyo, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Japanese government, Yoshihide Suga said the Japanese government is waiting for the World Health Organization to request for the drug and it will be dispatched immediately. He however said that pending the time WHO will approve and request for the drug, any emergency request by any individual may be responded to by Japan.

Spokesperson of Fujifilm, the company that developed the drug, Takao Aoki, said
they have more than enough of the drug to cater for over 20,000 patients and are in talks with the US Food and Drug Administration for clinical testing of the drug
"Fujifilm is in talks with the US Food and Drug Administration on clinical testing of the drug in treating Ebola, The company has Favipiravir stock for more than 20,000 patients. Ebola and influenza viruses are the same type and
theoretically similar effects can be expected on Ebola,” he said.

Nigeria's Health ministry had last week Thursday August 21st announced that it had requested for another type of Anti- Ebola viral drugs but its not certain if it was Favipiravir.

Few days ago we posted an interview with an Ex-Boko Haram who turn Christian and named Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) as the sole Sponsor of the Islamist Terrorist (Boko Haram) in Nigeria.

Now the spokesman of IBB PRINCE KASSIM AFEGBUA, MEDIA SPOKESMAN TO GENERAL IBB Says “Haliru Sani’s Statements Are Effusions of A Deluded Mind”.
The Ibrahim Babangida camp has at last offered a response to the allegation of sponsorship of the Boko Haram sect levelled against the former military President. A statement issued by General Babangida’s Media Spokesman denied any links with Sani Haliru, the repented Boko Haram member.

The statement raeds inter alia “We feel a deep sense of concern that the country is going through these obvious challenges of insecurity and bad leadership that are threatening the very fabric of the country’s foundation. We have read and assimilated the effusions of a deluded mind by name Sheik Sani Haliru, who for want of very cheap relevance decided to mention the highly respected name of IBB as one of the “sponsors” of what he called Boko Haram. From our first reading, we felt it would amount to giving undue relevance to a confused mind if we volunteer a response, but for our teeming supporters, associates and friends of IBB, and for the price we owe history, we decided to offer this disclaimer.

First, General IBB cannot in his frame of mind remember any of such names called Sheik Sani Haliru whether as an Almajiri or a jihadist or both. Reading through the interview, one is easily confronted with a number of inconsistencies and well orchestrated conclusions that are spuriously out of place. One, Dele Giwa did not die of suicide bombing as claimed by Sani Haliru. It is public knowledge that he died of parcel bomb and the latest insight by Rev.Chris Omeben as published in Sunday Sun of 5th February, 2012
will form an instructive reading.
Secondly, we have every cause to believe that the interview was carefully scripted to convey the message intended and not one conducted under a question and answer basis.
The responses of the said Sani Haliru attest to this fact. From that premise therefore, it will be save to conclude that the interview was structured by certain agents of government to satisfy pre-determined position.

Thirdly, the questions by the interviewer are also leading questions, tending to achieve the predetermined end of the initiators of the interview. The emphasis on seeing Islam as a religion of violence is a clear indication of this motive.
Fourthly, on the one hand, the interviewee declared himself to be a converted Christian, while on the other hand, he was asking for someone that will connect him to God. He talked about his fear of going to jail, why will a man of God be afraid of incarceration or jail if the cause he is pursuing is truly altruistic? How could someone with facts about Boko Haram be saying that he is afraid the SSS will arrest him if he ventured those facts, when the whole wide world is patiently waiting to get a road map out of the Boko Haram pogrom? There are also instances where third person narrative tenor is given to Sheik Sani Haliru, thus making the whole exercise curiously misleading and utterly unconscionable to warrant any serious recognition.
In all of these, so many conjectures, hearsays, deductions, impressions and lies were bandied in the said interview thus making the entire contents suspect. For example, his reference to the October 1st bombing in Abuja is totally at variance with what the State Security Service has unravelled about the masterminds of that dastardly incident. We are therefore at sea to reconcile any of the claims as truly reflective of any sound mind save that we have every reason to believe that this is purely a well-scripted interview to give our revered IBB a bad name. What the real motive of the interview is remains to us very worrisome because we cannot in any way rationalize the immediate or remote intentions of the interviewee and the interviewer.
For purposes of record, General IBB wishes to disclaim whoever that might have granted such interview and wish to emphatically state that there is no iota of truth in whatever the interviewee must have put down. There is no connection whatsoever between himself and the so-called Sheik Sani Haliru. It will serve good purpose if the said Sani Haliru could disclose his age in 1985, 1987 and 1992, because his claim of 44 years of Boko Haram activities could be self-contradicting if we are able to know his real age. 1985 till date is a record 27 years.
By the time we subtract that age from 44 , the guess is as good as mine. One couldn’t possibly know what feat a 17 years old boy would perform in 1985 to warrant any linkage with IBB. It will also be of good use if he could disclose the instances where IBB is directly and indirectly connected or linked to his activities, how much money he was given, who gave the money and what period of time?
The uncomplimentary adjectives he used to describe General IBB further expose the underpinning lies in the interview. Every Nigerian that has had opportunity of interacting with this great Nigerian called IBB from North to South, East to West, would concede to the bare-faced fact that General IBB is generally a likeable person, generous, kind and very hearty personality whose contributions to national development and unity of Nigeria remain unparalleled in the history of Nigeria. For such a leader who has put his all in the development and unity of the country to now get involved in such heinous activities as described by the so-called Sani Haliru stands logic on its head.
All the insinuations as to the deliberate effort of IBB trying to Islamise Nigeria are clear indications that Sani Haliru is suffering from self-delusion. Perhaps, he did not realize the fact that IBB’s Vice-Presidents and some of his
key players in his cabinet were Christians. He also might have forgotten that it was in the same regime that our broken diplomatic ties with Israel were restored to allow Nigerians embark on Holy Pilgrimage to Jerusalem. If we are to follow all the writings in the Bible, and interpret them likewise, one will be tempted to say that the Bible is preaching violence too. But the word of God cannot be interpreted on its face value; hence men should be wary about drawing conclusions that are informed by their limited understanding of the word of God.
We therefore wish to inform the public to disregard and ignore whoever might be the face behind that name called Sheik Sani Haliru and the message of doom that he seems desperate to propagate. We wish to assure our teeming members’ world-wide that as elder statesman, General IBB will not desist from offering his plausible contributions to national discourse and that no amount of blackmail can
take that leadership away from this great icon. The unity and peaceful co-existence of Nigeria is very dear to General IBB and having fought in the 30months civil war of the late sixties, he would do everything humanly possible to avert any descent to anarchy in our fatherland.
We challenge both the interviewee and interviewer to disclose the documents they claim to have to prove us wrong, otherwise, they should keep their mouths shut forever.”

A 300 level Electrical Engineering student of the Covenant University, Otta in Ogun State, John Chinedu Okere, has been murdered and left in the pool of his blood by friends, who demanded for ransom from his parents.

According to reports, Chinedu, 20, left home Wednesday morning, August 6, 2014, to a Hospital in Yaba, Lagos for medical reasons and never returned.

He reportedly left home with about N6000 and that was the last time he was seen alive.

The mysterious disappearance of Chinedu caused tension as the parents ran helter-skelter in search of him to no avail.

They gathered from some family members that one of his friends called on phone earlier that morning to tell him to meet him at an undisclosed hotel.

At about mid-day, the victim’s father, Jude Okere, received an SMS notifying him that Chinedu had been kidnapped.

Later, he received a phone call from a hidden number demanding N10 million ransom for the release of his son. The caller allegedly threatened to kill the victim if the parents refused to comply as the line went dead.

Chinedu’s father said “At about mid-day, I received an SMS that John had been kidnapped. Later, I received a phone call from a hidden number. The caller said they had my son, Chinedu and demanded N10 million as ransom threatening to kill him if we refuse to comply. Immediately, I inquired who the caller was, the line went dead. My wife and I quickly reported the case to the Divisional Police Station at Sabo, Yaba.”

After the case was reported to the Police at Sabo, Yaba, it was later transferred to the Special Anti- Robbery Squad, SARS, Ikeja the next day where investigations commenced.

It was learnt that initially when the whole issue started, the family of the victim felt it was a kidnap that would justbe resolved but unfortunately, as events continued to unfold, it turned out to be a premeditated murder. Shockingly, the decomposed corpse of Chinedu was discovered in one of the rooms at ‘DE Homes Hotel’ located in Ejigbo by one of their staff, two days later.

Mr man better go and indulge yourself in a more lucrative research,because Ebola is not in nigeria..BAM!!

One of Ebola symthoms..
Looks kind ah cool douh.

To solve this case the Dog must revenge..simple!

eledacedar: Your father

his a nice man

eledacedar: Are they MADE in Nigeria or ASSEMBLED in nigeria.?

I dont usually scold girls for making stupid comments...i gess you would be the first..YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THREAD BEFORE MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF.

tunwumi: This guy has ebola big time. The calibration and accuracy of that equipment with its reliability need to be verified. Maybe this malfunctioning equipment has been used to accept ebola immigrant undetected.

when it comes to nigeria their equipment is malfunctioning...you should have been given birth in country like niger,haiti,liberia etc then you would value your country dearly.

gists: Yeah! just like we were promised 247 power after PHCN is sold to themselve investors. But now we all see the result of the phcn privatisation program.

Lesson learnt so far: When Goodluck Ebola Jonathan promises you something, just get yourself an alternative option. I type this post using electricity from my 2.5kVA inverter.

I dont know why most nigerians are so naive/ignorant to the core...any little fault that should be handled by your local authorities you put it on the president. The president has played his own part in the development,its up to the indeginious authories responsible to carry-out that function...you dont expect the president to start inspecting them personally.
MAKE UNA LET THE MAN DRINK WATER KEEP CUP! HABA!!

Tell the super eagles this and they would be like "oga keshi u dey see this girls soo"

PerfectFortune: And what difference will it make?

The so called Nigerian youth that cldt seperate good governance from good looting (stomach infrastucture), the ones that cldt make constructive/objective argument without being biased along ethnic and religious lines (extreme bigotry), the ones that allow themselves to used as tools of destruction, hate and division by the professional treasury looters, the ones that kill a petty thief for stealing a #50.00 note but praise "the political class" for stealing their future and robbing it in their face or the ones whose right have been denied for a very long time (lack of quality education and impoverished economy) thereby making them to accept anomalies as norms?

The Nigerian youths are rescilient, hard-working, innovative, resourceful and skillful but they are not prepared to take up the challenge.

If you and your cycle of friends are not prepared to take the challenge....I AM!

Kachisbarbie: Hhahahahaha. Thank U sir
Yes I am a dunce (now I have agreed, hope u feel good?) now tell me something else I don't know 'bout myself.
Issokay

Lets see to Dat

Kachisbarbie: Where are the remaining 7 points?
This 3 hasn't clicked im my brain yet.

I use 'might' @ times, because Nigerians are in the habit of trying to hold you down for yo words and Yes, I need an escape route... that 'might' is the perfect escape route for me

Then 'won't' sounds like an affirmative to me.

sorry to say this, but you are a dunce...the no 3 was from another nairalander debunking the op thread.

when you prevent a child from doing something,the more curious/eager that child would be in seeing to it's accomplishmnt.

sexyseun: A girl identified as Nkechi who hailed from Onitsha, Anambra State but settled in Asaba with her parents after graduation while searching for employment, got involved in Facebook Love at the centre where she was learning Computer.

Somehow she met a rich young man online, a Nigerian. The man decided to disguised himself as a ‘cripple’ to her whenever he arrive Nigeria, but he is actually a lawyer trained in the United Kingdom...

It was gathered that after series of chats, the 'cripple' asked for her hand in marriage and Nkechi immediately accepted, not knowing that the man will disguise as a cripple to test her. After their relationship which lasted about seven months online, the young lawyer, who was identified as Henry (surname withheld), returned to Nigeria on a wheelchair.

Nkechi, accompanied by her friend, went to the airport to welcome him, but was shocked to see him on a wheelchair and when he begged her to marry him, she refused.

According to reports, Nkechi continued to refuse his proposal, despite his pleas and a visit to her house. She also did not listen to her friend. Her friend, identified as Onyinye, a fashion boutique owner, living somewhere around Infant Jesus area of Asaba, was shocked at her friend’s decision after pleading with her to reconsider her "wheel chair" lover, but Nkechi refused.

Unfortunately for Nkechi, her friend Onyinye started feeling pity for Henry's condition, not knowing that the man is not actually a cripple. Onyinye thus accepted to marry Henry since Nkechi has turned him down.

Consequently, reports gathered that Henry went ahead to finalise wedding plans with Onyinye. They had the traditional marriage and white wedding last weekend in Asaba.

However, at the wedding reception, Henry got off his wheelchair to the amazement of all and told everyone present that he was never a ‘cripple,’ but had to disguise himself because he was hoping to get married to a Nigerian lady who would have genuine love for him, irrespective of his "condition".

It was jubilation all the way and people started praising Onyinye for being a virtuous woman.

When the news got to Nkechi to her lover was actually not a cripple but just testing her, she collapsed.

Disillusioned 30-year-old Nkechi, a graduate of Micro-biology later committed suicide due to the shame that her finacee, who she met on Facebook, had gotten married to her best friend.

In her suicie note, Nkechi wrote:

“I have gone to rest as I cannot stand the situation after the house I built has collapsed. This is a lesson for single ladies; never reject any suitor, so that you don’t end up dead.”

The Police in Delta State confirmed Nkechi's unfortunate action, her parents are said to be in shock.

WATCHOUT FOR PART TWO..

J0nyb0y: from articles and books av read, most emphasize on going out of our comfort zone., talking to random people anywhere we find ourselves....
Also heard ladies love shy guys. Lol dont know how true

yea thats wat dey ar all sayn "gettin out of confort zone" dont know if it really works...
Come of it!!! GALS DNT LIKE SHY GUYS!!

being an introvert aint easy to cope with..
introverts are mostly shy(guys) especially when around ladies..
You see that beautiful girl across the street and you know that you so into this girl,but when ever you think of making an attempt you jst feel weigh-down until some other gut comes and and get her...
And when ever an introvert eventually tries to make an attempt,the girl on the other hand feels hez to boring and says no!!
SERIOUSLY THE GIRLS AINT HELP ISSUES...GBAM!

J0nyb0y: at times people dont seem to understand my reason for doing some things.. Am a serious Nerd and a extremely shy guy... Its difficult at tyms trying to blend... Most esp keeping coversation with ladies. I get so uneasy and awkward..

same here,'especialy ladies' wat do you think is the way out??

SmooshCHN: Spending 10months in China, I've noticed that their growth and development was achieved by determination. Back to their history, all what China has turned into now all happened between 24years. Good and determined leadership. They still have little problems but when I look at them, I discover Nigeria can be like this but Why not?? What's stopping us? It's owes to poor leadership.. It's painful that we have leaders who only care about their pockets.. I hope Nigerians would drop their thinking and come out to see we have lots to achieve if only we'd stop these leaders treating us like Pigs.. A Chinese once ask me "how many Universities are in Nigeria??" The question touched me cos I know he felt we were nothi ng then he said 10??
I told him we had over 100 then he said Why come to China, I said I wanted to get More.. but then deep down I know what made me left..
Seeing their Transportation Network, Nigerians deserve More, Nigerians Deserve More.. Imagine a government that can't even provide security.. Sincerely it might take Decades before things would change positively.. I just wish these Old and Selfish leaders would be scrapped..

wish so to,but these can only be accomplished when we the youth come together and fight for a revolution of power in the country,for it is said that"you can't acheive something you desire by sitting idle" you have to get up make a change...SO AM CALLING ON ALL OUR YOUTH TO GET UP AND FIGHT FOR A REVOLUTION.

[\b]This weekend the Ebola virus was the cause of grim headlines after two Americans, including a doctor, were reported to be infected with the disease and Liberia's lead Ebola doctor died from the virus.[b]

That news is on top of the heavy toll of
1,093 infected in the current outbreak as
of July 20, according to the World Health
Organization. Of those infected, 660 have
died, meaning this outbreak has a fatality
rate more than 60 percent.

But what exactly is this dangerous disease
that kills so many? The Ebola virus is
described as a group of viruses that cause
a deadly kind of hemorrhagic fever.

The virus is transmitted through contact
with blood or secretions from an infected
person, either directly or through
contaminated needles or medical
equipment. The term "hemorrhagic fever"
means it causes bleeding inside and outside the body. There is no cure.

[\b]CAUSES[b]
Ebola virus has been found in African
monkeys, chimps and other nonhuman
primates. A milder strain of Ebola has
been discovered in monkeys and pigs in
the Philippines. Marburg virus has been
found in monkeys, chimps and fruit bats in Africa.

[\b]Transmission from animals to
humans[b]
Experts suspect that both viruses are
transmitted to humans through an infected
animal's bodily fluids. Examples include: [\b]Blood[b]. Butchering or eating infected animals can spread the viruses. Scientists who have operated on infected animals as part of their research have also
contracted the virus.
[\b]Waste products[b]. Tourists in certain African caves and some underground mine workers have been infected with
the Marburg virus, possibly through
contact with the feces or urine of
infected bats.

[\b]Transmission from person to
person[b]
Infected people typically don't become
contagious until they develop symptoms.
Family members are often infected as they
care for sick relatives or prepare the dead
for burial.
Medical personnel can be infected if they don't use protective gear, such as surgical
masks and gloves. Medical centers in
Africa are often so poor that they must
reuse needles and syringes. Some of the
worst Ebola epidemics have occurred
because contaminated injection equipment wasn't sterilized between uses.
There's no evidence that Ebola virus or
Marburg virus can be spread via insect
bites.

[\b]What is Ebola hemorrhagic fever?[b]
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a viral disease
caused by Ebola virus that results in
nonspecific symptoms early in the disease
and often causes internal and external
hemorrhage (bleeding) as the disease
progresses. Ebola hemorrhagic fever is considered one of the most lethal viral
infections; the mortality rate (death rate) is very high during outbreaks (reports of
outbreaks range from about 50% to 100%
of humans infected, depending on the
Ebola strain).

[\b]What is the history of Ebola
hemorrhagic fever?[b]
Ebola hemorrhagic fever was first noted in
Zaire (currently, the Democratic Republic
of the Congo or DRC) in 1976. The original outbreak was in a village near the Ebola River after which the disease was named. During that time, the virus was identified in person-to-person contact transmission.Of the 318 patients diagnosed with Ebola,
88% died. Since that time, there have
been multiple outbreaks of Ebola virus,
and five strains have been identified; four
of the strains are responsible for the high death rates. The four Ebola strains are
termed as follows: Zaire, Sudan, Tai
Forest, and Bundibugyo virus, with Zaire
being the most lethal strain. A fifth strain
termed Reston has been found in the
Philippines. The strain infects primates, pigs, and humans and causes few if any
symptoms and no deaths in humans. Most
outbreaks of the more lethal strains of
Ebola have occurred in Africa and mainly
in small- or medium-sized towns. Once
recognized, African officials have isolated the area until the outbreak ceased.
However, in this new outbreak that began
in Africa in March 2014, some of the
infected patients have reached larger city
centers and have been hospitalized.
Unfortunately, many people may have been exposed to the virus in the city, thus
causing more infections (and deaths). This
outbreak in Africa has now spread to
Guinea's capital and has been detected in
the neighboring countries of Liberia and
Sierra Leone. About 122 infected people have been diagnosed and 78 have died as
of Apr. 1, 2014. The infecting Ebola virus
detected this outbreak is the Zaire strain,
the most pathogenic strain of Ebola.
Health agencies are terming this outbreak
as an "unprecedented epidemic."

[\b]Symptoms[b]
Signs and symptoms typically begin
abruptly within five to 10 days of infection with Ebola or Marburg virus. Early signs and symptoms include:
Fever
Severe headache
Joint and muscle aches
Chills
Weakness

Over time, symptoms become increasingly
severe and may include: Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea (may be bloody)
Red eyes
Raised rash
Chest pain and cough
Stomach pain Severe weight loss
Bleeding, usually from the eyes, and
bruising (people near death may bleed
from other orifices, such as ears, nose
and rectum)
Internal bleeding.

[\b]Risk factors[b]

For most people, the risk of getting Ebola
or Marburg viruses (hemorrhagic fevers) is
low. The risk increases if you: Travel to Africa. You're at increased risk if you visit or work in areas where
Ebola virus or Marburg virus outbreaks
have occurred. Conduct animal research. People are more likely to contract the Ebola or
Marburg virus if they conduct animal
research with monkeys imported from
Africa or the Philippines. Provide medical or personal care. Family members are often infected as
they care for sick relatives. Medical
personnel also can be infected if they
don't use protective gear, such as
surgical masks and gloves. Prepare people for burial. The bodies of people who have died of Ebola or
Marburg hemorrhagic fever are still
contagious. Helping prepare these bodies
for burial can increase your risk of
developing the disease.

Sierra Leone's top doctor fighting an outbreak of Ebola has died from the virus, the country's chief medical officer, Brima Kargbo, said on Tuesday.

Sheik Umar Khan, who was credited with
treating more than 100 patients, was
infected with Ebola this month and had
been moved to a treatment ward run by
medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres in the far north of the country.

The news of his death comes as health
officials admit they do not have a list of
all the people a Liberian Ebola victim came into contact with in the hours before he collapsed, prompting fears the outbreak could spread.

Patrick Sawyer, a consultant for Liberia's
Finance Ministry, died on Friday after
arriving at Lagos airport on June 20,
having vomited and suffered diarrhoea on
two flights.

The 40-year-old U.S. citizen had been to
the funeral of his sister, who also died
from the disease.

He was put in isolation at the First
Consultants Hospital in Obalende, one of
the most crowded parts of the city, home
to around 21 million people.
Mr Sawyer took two flights to reach
Lagos, from Monrovia to Lome and then onto the Nigerian capital.

So far 59 people who came into contact
with Mr Sawyer have been identified by
Nigerian health officials, and are under
surveillance.
But the airlines have yet to release flight
manifests naming each passenger and crew member.

In the immediate aftermath of Nigeria's
first death from the disease, health chiefs
shut and quarantined the hospital
involved.
Lagos state heatlh commissioner Jide Idris,
said the hospital would be closed for a week, and the staff would be closely
monitored.

'The private hospital was demobilized and
the primary source of infection eliminated,he told a news conference.
