Things has gone out of hand. Who want to die? Anyway out? God abeg oh.

Monrovia - Liberia's Ebola
death toll was rising
dramatically, the Health
Ministry said on Tuesday,
while abandoned bodies were
lining streets across the country. A total of 268 people had died
of the virus as of 2 August,
said Assistant Health Minister
for Preventive Services Tolbert
Nyenswah. On 28 July, the
Health Ministry had recorded 181 deaths, a week earlier 130
deaths. Among the dead were 37
health workers, according to
Nyenswah, and 2 497 people
were suspected to be infected
with Ebola. Dead bodies were meanwhile
lying abandoned as Liberia's
authorities were struggling to
cope with the Ebola outbreak
that killed hundreds across
West Africa, witnesses and local media reported. Numerous health facilities had
to shut down across the
country after health care
workers were threatened by
locals who believe foreigners
had brought Ebola into the country. The World Health Organization
is warning of possibly
"catastrophic" consequences in
West Africa - in Guinea, Sierra
Leone, Liberia and Nigeria -
which they say is the deadliest ever. As of 31 July, the WHO had
recorded 1 323 cases
confirmed or suspected cases
of Ebola in West Africa. Of
these, 729 people have died. Two doctors treating infected
patients have died of the
disease, one in Sierra Leone,
the other in Liberia. More than 60 healthcare
workers also lost their lives,
according to the WHO. A US doctor suffering from
Ebola is being treated at an
Atlanta hospital after being
evacuated from Liberia on
Saturday. The outbreak has been caused
by the most lethal strain in the
family of Ebola viruses. Ebola causes massive
haemorrhages and has a
fatality rate of 90%. It is
transmitted through blood and
other body fluids.http://m.news24.com/nigeria/Africa/News/Liberias-Ebola-bodies-abandoned-on-streets-20140805

Lagos - Footage obtained by
human rights group Amnesty
International and released on
Tuesday appears to show
Nigerian soldiers slitting the
throats of Boko Haram suspects and dumping their
bodies in a mass grave. Nigeria's military is battling an
increasingly vicious Islamist
insurgency by Boko Haram,
which wants to carve an
Islamic state out of religiously
mixed Nigeria. But its forces frequently come repeatedly
under fire for human rights
abuses, including torture and
extrajudicial killings they
usually deny. It was not possible to
independently verify the
video, which also includes
images of suspects being
pulled off the back of trucks
and beaten by soldiers and allied civilian militias. Amnesty said the extrajudicial
killings occurred shortly after
Boko Haram's attack on a
detention centre in Giwa
Barracks, in the northeastern
city of Maiduguri, on March 14. Nigerian Defence spokesman
Major-General Chris Olukolade,
who normally bristles at
suggestions of abuses by
Nigerian soldiers, said in at
statement that "the military authorities view these grave
allegations very seriously. "Much as the scenes depicted
in this video are alien to our
operations and doctrines, it
has to be investigated to
ensure that such practices
have not crept, surreptitiously, into the system," Olukolade
said. He emphasised that such
behaviour would be counter to
the training Nigerian troops
are given. "That level of barbarism and
impunity has no place in the
Nigerian military. Respect for
the sanctity of life is always
boldly emphasized in our
doctrinal training," he said. In the most gruesome of the
videos, suspects are kept to
one side while graves are dug.
Then the grave is shown half-
full of bodies. A half-naked
man is pulled from a truck and held down while a man in
military uniform slices his neck
open with a combat knife,
hurling his body into the pit.
The scene is repeated with
another suspect on the same bloodied patch at the edge of
grave. The footage comes a week
after Boko Haram leader
Abubakar Shekau released a
video of his fighters beheading
a Nigerian soldier -- a standard
practice for the militants. Amnesty's report also shows
the aftermath of a Boko Haram
attack on a village that the
rights group said had killed
100 people. Amnesty said 4,000 people
had been killed in the conflict
this year. A military operation since May
last year has aimed to crush
the rebels. But they have
proved remarkably resilient
and have struck back in
attacks that increasingly target the civilian population, killing
hundreds. "This shocking new evidence
is further proof of the
appalling crimes being
committed with abandon by
all sides in the conflict ... what
does it say when members of the military carry out such
unspeakable acts and capture
the images on film?" said Salil
Shetty, Amnesty
International's secretary
general. "Numerous testimonies we
have gathered suggest that
extrajudicial executions are, in
fact, regularly carried out by
the Nigerian military," she
added. Rights groups argue that such
acts by the military are not
only wrong but counter-
productive, as they fuel much
of the anger that has helped
drive the insurgency over the past five years. It is also a
primary reason cited by U.S.
and British forces for not
giving Nigeria more counter-
insurgency support. Boko Haram was a largely
non-violent clerical movement
against Western culture until
the killing of its founder,
Mohammed Yusuf, in police
custody transformed it into a full- scale armed rebellion. Olukolade said forensic
experts would study the
footage "in order to ascertain
the veracity of the claims with
a view to identifying those
behind such acts. This will ... stimulate necessary legal
action against any personnel
or anyone found culpable in
accordance with the
provisions of the law." http://m.news24.com/nigeria/National/News/Video-of-troops-slitting-Boko-Haram-suspects-throats-revealed-20140805

“We have two
choices facing us. One is to
keep quiet and look the other
way until it happens. The other is exactly what we are
doing now: Raise our voice in
warning, praying and hoping
that this avoidable catastrophe
would pass us by.

By Clifford Ndujihe & Tom
Moses Igbo Leaders have urged the Federal Government and all
stakeholders to avert what
they termed desperate
attempts by Boko Haram
insurgents to bomb the South-
East, warning that a successful attack in the region portended
grave danger for the country. In a statement by their Deputy
Secretary, Evang. Elliot Uko,
the Igbo Leaders of Thought,
ILT, described as worrisome
the Sallah day arrest in Borno
State of a long trailer laden with bombs and IED’s
disguised as cattle merchants
headed for Onitsha and Port
Harcourt. “This simply tells us that those
who are committed to
bombing the east are very
serious at their plans,” they
said in the statement entitled,
‘The calm before the storm.’” Consequences Noting that the state of the
nation is precarious, Igbo
leaders said: “We have two
choices facing us. One is to
keep quiet and look the other
way until it happens. The other is exactly what we are
doing now: Raise our voice in
warning, praying and hoping
that this avoidable catastrophe
would pass us by. Truth is that
Boko Haram is desperate to bomb eastern Nigeria. We
don’t want that to happen
because the implications are
clearly frightening. If you add this to the earlier
attempt to bomb a church
with 10,000 capacity at
Owerri, the attempt to kill
both General Muhammadu
Buhari and Sheik Bauchi, nobody knows how many of
such trailers have successfully
transferred the deadly cargo to
the east waiting for the time
to strike. “Had any of these three events
exploded according to Boko
Haram plan, Nigeria would
have been history by now.
Now, we know that the
sponsors of Boko Haram are desperate to attack the South-
East, let nobody pretend the
grave implications of a
successful Boko Haram attack
on the South-East is lost on
them. “Since the Kano Riots of 1953,
easterners have been killed
every year in very gruesome
manner in the North for 61
years; sometimes over
introduction of Sharia Laws, sometimes because of a
cartoon in Denmark,
sometimes over beauty
pageant article on “Thisday
newspaper, sometimes
because of election results. Pursuing easterners down
home to bomb them in the
name of Islamisation by force
would be the last straw.
Nigeria will not survive a Boko
Haram attack in the East.” “In this season, which could
easily be described as the
season of uneasy calm before
the impending storm we
remind the authorities that if
Boko Haram does succeed in bombing the South-East with
casualties, it would be
impossible to stop the
catastrophe that would
follow; reprisals and counter-
reprisals. “A people pushed to the wall
will react and the northern
crowd will also react and no
power on earth can hold
Nigeria together again. As the
enemies of peaceful co- existence are determined to
twist the tiger’s tail, this is
truly the calm before the
storm.” Threatens Akwa Ibom In like manner, the Akwa Ibom
State Government said
yesterday that there are
threats by the insurgents to
bomb designated markets,
churches and public places in the state. Confirming the threats, Akwa-
Ibom State Commissioner for
Information and
Communications, Mr. Aniekan
Umanah, in a statement, said
the threats were contained in “text messages from a
terrorist group, Boko Haram
threatening the peace and
security of the state.” The Commissioner therefore
advised members of the public
to be security conscious and
be extra vigilant by promptly
reporting suspicious
movements of strange elements that constitute
security threats to security
personnel for action. Umanah however assured all
indigenes and residents of the
state of their safety as
government has already
directed security agencies to
step up surveillance to tackle the threat as well as ensure
the safety and security of lives
and property including
sensitive and important
installations. In the same vein, Umanah
urged all law abiding citizens
to go about their legitimate
businesses as government
was on top of the situation,
maintaining that government was poised to sustain the
peace and stable environment
which made Akwa Ibom a
safe haven for visitors,
investors and her indigenes. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/boko-haram-desperate-bomb-south-east-igbo-leaders/

Nigeria will be fine

Abuja - Dr Sule Bathner, a
consultant endocrinologist, on
Saturday in Bauchi,
commended the proactive
measures taken by relevant
authorities to check the spread of Ebola Virus in Nigeria after
the death of a Liberian citizen
from the disease in Lagos. Addressing a monthly meeting
of members of the Diabetes
Association of Nigeria (DAN)
Bauchi chapter, he said that
apart from the proper handling
of the case of the Liberian to avert spread of the virus,
vigorous enlightenment
efforts had been sustained. According to him, the virus has
been in existence for long,
consuming lives in some
African countries, but adds the
figure of casualties this year, is
higher than those of previous years. “The virus has no cure for now
but with quick intervention,
there is 10 per cent probability
that a patients could be lucky
to survive. However, without
proper First Aid, the probability of survival is zero,”
he explained. Bathner, who is also the Head
of Department of Medicine,
Federal Medical Centre, Gombe,
further explained that the
easiest way of contracting the
virus was through physical contact with a victim or the
victim’s corpse. “Ebola Virus could be found in
Bats, Monkeys, Gorillas and the
like, but it (virus) does not
harm them. The animals are
like reservoirs, through which
the virus could be contracted. “Once a human being is in
contact with these animals, he
contracts the virus and spreads
same to others. The disease is
not air-borne and does not
have specific signs different from other ailments before the
stage of incubation “That is why it is advisable
that people should go to the
hospital for investigation upon
experiencing severe signs of
fever and other symptoms,” he
urged. The consultant described as
highly disturbing, reports that
victims of the disease in some
countries were going into
hiding for fear of being
isolated or quarantined. He warned that unless
measures were taken to
address such behavior by
patients, the spread of the
virus would be beyond control. On cure for the virus, Bathner
explained that experts were
working on a vaccine, adding
that all things being equal,
there might be a solution to
the problem. http://m.news24.com/nigeria/National/News/Ebola-Consultant-commends-Nigerias-efforts-20140802
