This is unfortunate! Just when hopes were high that she'll pull through like the others. Rest in perfect peace!

What a relief! This is good news.

Work hard; Play hard! Enjoy the fruit of your labour and remember to invest some for the future.

gbollybakare: ALERT!!!The code of PDP fake soldiers and police is red ankara tied to left hand. Pls close mark anybody that tie red material to his hand”

When would we stop speaking out of ignorance or mischief? Even the Deputy Commandant General of NSCDC (Civil Defence), Evans Enwerem had the said 'ankara' tied to his left arm during an interview on TV today. Is he also fake? It is simply an identification band worn by all security agents on election duty today. It is normal for eligible voters to support certain candidates/parties but let us try and put our preferences aside while analysing issues on forums like this. Cheers and GOD bless you!

It's really going to be a clash of the titans as the two main contenders are no pushovers. They both have a cult like following. May the best man win!

According to election time-table released by INEC, today(07/08/14) is the last day for campaigns. Loyalists of the two frontline parties are presently making frantic efforts to win support of the electorate.

Meanwhile, according to INEC, there are 1,407,222 registered voters in Osun State. Of these, 745,828 (53%) are females, while 661,394 (47%) are males.

Of the twenty registered political parties which presented candidates for the poll, it is no secret that candidates of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Governor Rauf Aregbesola and Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore remain the main contenders.

The Osun State Gubernatorial Election slated to hold on Saturday 9th August 2014 is barely 24 hours away (edited). This thread serves as a medium for Nairalanders residing in the State and others to share their experiences, incidents and insights that would help deepen our democracy.

The Federal Government said on Wednesday, that a nurse who was one of the medical personnel that attended to the late Liberian-American, Patrick Sawyer, who died of Ebola virus in Lagos on July 25, has died of the disease.

Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, who stated this at a news conference in Abuja, also confirmed that five other medical practitioners who participated in the treatment are already infected with the virus.

He said, “Nigeria has now recorded seven confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease.

“The first one was the index case, which is the imported case from Liberia of which the victim is now late.

“Yesterday, 5th August, 2014, the first known Nigerian to die of the EVD was recorded and this was one of the nurses that attended to the Liberian.

“The other five cases are currently being treated at the Isolation Ward in Lagos.”

The Minister noted that all the Nigerians diagnosed were primary contacts of the index case.

He announced the appointment of Prof. O. Onajole, of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, who will be based in Lagos, as the Director, Communication and Community Mobilisation for the EVD.

He also pledged to visit Lagos within the week, in company with his colleague in the ministry of information, to assess the situation on ground.

emlilshady: ASO is like been a recruit soldier in the millitary,they are the ones in uniforms with oversized guns that never shoots. Detectives are like the officers in the millitary,they dont usually go on the 'battlefield', though u are assigned with your own duties in fighting internal attacks,a new commissioned officer/detective is far highly ranked than an old time ASO or Recruit.

@emlilshady. Stop misleading applicants on this forum. Most of the supposedly 'priviledged' information you have been dishing out so far on this thread are outrightly false. To work in a sensitive organisation like the DSS, you have to learn to talk less and be discreet. The fact that you are privileged to have a friend or relative in the Service does not give you the freedom to twist the little information you might be getting from them to feel good on this thread. You are indirectly attracting the spotlight on your self which is not a good attribute of a would-be agent. Be Careful; Who knows if you are already being assessed. Best of luck and Cheers!

kixo: Plz, can somebody xplain criteria, necessary documents needed, qualifications, wat cadre means, wat course 28 means....Plz no insults...Thanks....

All u're required to do is keep ur ears to d ground; Once enlistment commences, take ur application with supporting documents to d SSS headquarters in ur State of origin & u'll be directed on what to do. Ensure u av at least 2nd class lower degree or lower credit & read well for d aptitude test. Goodluck!

Tragic!
