WHERE is the freaking Minster of Health - has he done a Soludo + Yar adua who claim " Nigeria is insulted from the Global financial Meltdown"

Port Harcourt—After battling for three years for the removal of a piggery from its community and frightened by the spread of swine flu in the world, the Elelenwo community in Rivers State, has called on the state and Federal Government to rescue it from the “impending disaster in the area”.

In a “media alert” made available to Vanguard in Port Harcourt, yesterday the people of the area said the disease may have hit the community because of the “strange cough and catarrh that is being experienced by some people here.”

Signed by the president and vice president of Elelenwo Youths Organisation, Messrs Mike Chukwu and Clement Onwuka, they asked that the governments “make haste to compel the operators of the piggery to relocate the deadly establishment from our community.

“Besides the impending disaster, some community members have had to relocate their residences, while churches and schools have equally packed out of the community because of the nuisance constituted by the location of the piggery.

“Even the ministry of environment and that of health have intervened without success because the owner wields enormous power, influence and is a supposed money bag, hence the delay and slow response to our plight.

“While the rest of the world is taking prompt and decisive action to save the lives of their citizens, the lives of Elelenwo community is equal to that of pigs. This is indeed very sad and while our government is busy joining the world to prevent this deadly disease from entering Nigeria, we are very certain we have been living with it in Elelenwo.

“Nobody knows why there is so much cough and catarrh here because we do not carry out medical tests like the rest of the world, but who indeed is competent to say that we are not already suffering from this flu in this community and indeed the state, because nobody has bothered to hear the cry of this community over this matter”.

The community further stated that “It is our belief as youths of this community that the government is not doing enough and is merely paying lip service to this most urgent matter. It is therefore time to take the matter to the court of public opinion to see if we can get justice fast.

Experts report that Influenza viruses could be directly transmitted from pigs to people. Human infection with flu viruses from pigs are most likely to occur when people are in close proximity to infected pigs, such as in pig barns and livestock exhibits housing pigs.

Researches conducted by medical experts have revealed that like all influenza viruses, swine flu viruses change constantly. Pigs can be infected by avian influenza and human influenza viruses as well as swine influenza viruses.

When influenza viruses from different species infect pigs, the viruses can swap genes and new viruses that are a mix of swine, human and/or avian influenza viruses can emerge.

The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing; some people with swine flu also have reported runny, nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Should i judge or should i hold off? but i must add the following


It is very sad that one does not know the true intentions of people when it comes to the murky water of politics in our dear Nigeria.

Mr Segun - are you people passionate or are you after your slice of the national cake.?

Since his retirement from active soccer, Odegbami has been a regular feature on television screen as soccer analyst.

But recently, Odegbami surprised not a few political observers and newsmen alike when he put up appearance at a press conference organized at the Iyala street, Alausa Lagos Secretariat of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) by the pan Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG) under the leadership of a one time Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Hon. Adewale Oshun.

As journalists were making eye contacts about the mission of a footballer at a political circle, the National Publicity of the ARG, Mr. Yinka Odumakin cleared his throat in a manner that attracted the attention of the audience.

“Coming in when Mr. Chairman was reading his address is one of our members from Ogun state. He is one and only Mathematical Olusegun Odegbami himself,” Odumakin announced. Facing the highly elated Segun, Odumakin added, “you are welcome into our midst.”

The newsmen could not wait for the event to be over before they swarmed on the ‘stranger’ as ants do on a cube of sugar with barrage of questions like, “are you in to politics,?” and “why are you in politics?”

And sounding politically, expectedly, the Master Dribbler tuned politician answered, “yes, I am now into politics, and the reason is simple. I want to contribute my own quota to the growth, progress and development of our dear country and in the process serve my people at any capacity they want me to serve them.”

As it were now, political watchers are patiently wait to hear and read headlines like, “Odegbami for Senate,” “former footballer eyes Ogun Government House,” and “eswhile Eagles Captain for President.”

Why does anybody think they can wake up one morning and decide to exert the body with over 3 mile distance of jogging without any kind  of initial training or body conditioning exercises.

is it poverty or miseducation ?

A Deputy Director in the Procurement Department of Ministry of Defence, K.K. Crubio, is one of the parents whose sons lost their lives in a bid to secure admission into the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, on Monday.

Three of the intending cadets, Daily Independent gathered, died on Monday while taking part in the 3.3-kilometre race made mandatory by the selection board as part of requisite for admission into the prestigious military school.

The incident is reminiscent of hundreds who lost their lives during the 10-kilometre jogging exercise conducted as part of requisite for recruitment into the Nigerian Custom and the Nigeria Prison Service late last year.

The incident drew public ire, prompting the National Assembly to probe the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The dead, it was learnt, were part of the over 1,000 candidates who, having passed the written examination conducted in March this year, were invited for the mandatory physical exercise which must be passed before admission is considered fully secured into the school.

Rules and regulations guiding admission into the school, makes it compulsory for all intending students to present certified medical certificate of fitness before being allowed to take part in the exercise. The deceased too, it was learnt, presented certificates obtained from different government-owned hospitals.

It was gathered that the casualties were recorded among the first batch who took to the road early in the morning as sources disclosed that about 10 of those who collapsed as the race was drawing to a close.

While I don't agree totally with all you've said, I get ur logic.

An American speaking with a Nigerian accent- Everybody loves it. Its so cool!
A Nigerian speaking with an American Accent- Everybody hates it. Says he is a sell out!

Everybody gets influenced by the environment he resides. Since the white boy got influenced by the Nigeria accent, whats wrong if the black guy gets influenced by the American accent soince he resides there.

Nobody denies that fact but you and i know that particular one was a voice over an thick Nigerian accent

sgsggggggggggggggggg

ass kisser - nominate this nominate that
