Breathtaking! It would be a great experience to fly this bird.

She looks good!

Unarguably the best liquid ever!

Attendance is compulsory ke! For those of us that are not anywhere near Ife at the moment, hope there are no consequences for not attending d matric?

What a relief for mothers who have been wondering how to manage their 'naughty' kids if they are to stay at home till October 13th! It's however sad that a lot of parents seem to have shifted their responsibities to school teachers these days..

The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, has put the total number of confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria at 18. The 18th patient, according to the Federal Government, is the sister of the late Port Harcourt doctor who died of the EVD recently.

A statement issued on Wednesday night by his Special Assistant (Media and Communication), Mr. Dan Nwomeh, said the number of cases successfully managed and discharged was eight while the number of deaths from EVD was seven.

Chukwu also debunked rumours of EVD cases outside Lagos and Port Harcourt, adding that, “regarding the rumoured case in Zaria, the blood sample has been sent for Ebola testing"

He said, “The total number of confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria is now 18. The 18th confirmed case is the sister of the late Port Harcourt doctor. The total number of cases successfully managed and discharged is now eight.

“The last case to be discharged, the first secondary contact to be diagnosed and a spouse of a primary contact of the index case, went home from the isolation ward in Lagos yesterday (Tuesday). The 9th survivor is the ECOWAS Commission official, who jumped surveillance in Lagos and travelled to Port Harcourt, where he infected the doctor who attended to him.

“The total number of deaths from Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria is now seven. One, the index case occurred in a private hospital in Lagos four in the Lagos isolation ward; one in the Port Harcourt isolation ward (the female patient who was on admission in the same hospital where the late Port Harcourt doctor was also admitted), while another one was the doctor who was infected by the ECOWAS Commission official in Port Harcourt and who did not come under the care and management of the Incident Management Committee.

“The total number of EVD patients currently under treatment is two, one in the Lagos isolation ward and another one in the Port Harcourt isolation ward.

“The total number of contacts currently under surveillance in Lagos is 41, while Port Harcourt is 255. The total number of contacts discharged in Lagos after they were observed for 21 days is 320.”

The minister also debunked rumours of EVD cases outside Lagos and Port Harcourt.

These include the three reported cases in the Federal Capital Territory and one case in Calabar.

He also debunked the story that the body of the late Port Harcourt doctor was transported to Edo or Delta, saying the body had been decontaminated and would be interred in Port Harcourt.

Please, I'm having issues with the payment section. I bought #100,000 worth of tution cards (2 cards of #50,000 denomination) to pay the minimum deposit of #99,965. After loading both cards at about 5:23am this morning, the site is showing this message; 'Your unused/available balance is NGN100,000. To complete payment, you need a total of NGN99,965. You need to load additional NGN-35'. What can I do to continue with registration because the 'Register Courses' link is still unavailable despite the sufficient payment I made?

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.
Welcome Aboard!

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!
