That Boy is not just a noise maker and attention seeker but a complete nuisance to Ndigbo!! I used to think he was a True philantropist until I realized he was actually laying a foundation for his future ambition to become the president of Nigeria. He knew how important it is to get the support of North that was why he channeled all his resources to that part of the country with his Rochas Foundation ish!! My problem with him is that he talks too much and do little! That reminds me of how he used Heavy Bulldozers to destroy people's shops and buildings at OKIGWE hoping that he would construct and rebuild the market within the shortest period of time! But was shocked to notice the work has been abandoned after recking havoc in that small city! To make matter worst, he actually hired direct labour to do the job! Instead of bringing in reputable construction firms to handdle the project. Recall how he hurriedly relieved 10,000 teachers of their jobs on assumption of office and left them with nothing? Sighting that his predecessor used that means to scam the state. Till date, virtually all of them are still jobless. I can go on and on!!! LAST BULLET






















One of the worst SINS he comitted was to have allowed himself to be brainwashed by APC's bigwigs thinking he would get the presidency/vice president under the platform of APC!!! Dude goofed! I'm sure he's seriously suffering and smiling now coz its so glear to him that's he's in the wrong party! But he knows his PRIDE is at stake if he eventually makes a U turn !!!! Who doesn't know that APC is a dumping ground for Desperate Politicians? ........... Ok the supporter of APC peeps can begin to attack me now! I owe no one apology for being Blunt and saying it the way it is!!! .... Its my opinion! Not yours!!!

Wow!!!! Just found good reasons why I should eat Popcorn often! Never knew its one of the world's healthiest snack for the body!!!!

When it comes to healthy snacks, plain popcorn is at
the top of most nutritionists' recommendation lists.
Air-popped and eaten plain, popcorn is low in calories
and fat and high in fiber and beneficial antioxidants,
especially when compared to other common snack
foods. Popcorn is a whole-grain food that can be
eaten as part of healthy diet that includes at least six
servings of grains every day.

Features


Plain, air-popped popcorn contains about 30 calories
and 1 gram of fiber per cup. The nutritional value of
other types of popcorn products varies greatly,
depending on the type of ingredients that are added.
If you buy microwavable, stove-top or packaged
popcorn, check the nutrition facts label to see how
many calories, grams of fat and milligrams of salt the
product contains. For the healthiest popcorn,
compare brands and varieties and choose those with
the lowest calories and least fat and salt.

Significance


Popcorn is on the list of whole-grain foods included in
the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Dietary
Guidelines for Americans. It is fourth on the list of
most commonly consumed grains in the United
States, after whole wheat, whole oats and whole-
grain corn. That makes it a significant contributor to
the grain and fiber intake of the average American.
At least half of the six daily servings of grains
recommended in the dietary guidelines should come
from whole grains. According to a study published in
the May 2008 issue of the "Journal of the American
Dietetic Association," popcorn eaters consume more
than twice as many whole grains and more than 22
percent more fiber than people who don't eat
popcorn.

Benefits

In addition to its role as a high-fiber food that helps
promote gastrointestinal health, popcorn contains
antioxidants, substances that protect body cells from
damage that can lead to disease. In research
presented at the 238th annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society, University of Scranton
professor Joe Vinson indicated that popcorn contains
more antioxidants known as polyphenols than any
other snack food. Overall, Dr. Vinson found that
whole grains contain as many antioxidants as fruits
and vegetables, while in comparison, refined and
processed grains contain very few.

Additional Nutrients


Although popcorn does not contribute significant
amounts of any nutrients, it supplies trace amounts
of the B vitamins thiamin, niacin, B6 and folate, and
the minerals magnesium, manganese, phosphorus,
zinc, copper and iron. One cup of popcorn supplies 6
grams of carbohydrates. What little fat occurs
naturally in popcorn is in the form of healthier
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Popcorn
contains no saturated or trans fats, which are
considered to be bad for your health.
Expert Insight
Heli Roy, Ph.D., registered dietitian and associate
professor in the Nutrition and Health Department at
Louisiana State University, says that unsalted, fat-
free, air-popped popcorn is an economical and
healthy snack that only becomes unhealthy when we
add oil or butter. Besides adding fat, putting butter
or oil on popcorn can add up to 90 calories per cup.
Instead, Dr. Roy suggests flavoring popcorn with
reduced-fat grated cheese or onion or garlic powder.

A seriously ill American Ebola patient arrived in his
home country from Liberia late Saturday morning,
delivered in a specially equipped medical plane on his
way to an Atlanta hospital prepared to treat the first-
ever Ebola victim known to be on U.S. soil.
An ambulance rushed Dr. Kent Brantly, one of two
Americans stricken by the deadly viral hemorrhagic
fever while helping with a major outbreak in West
Africa, from Georgia's Dobbins Air Reserve Base to
Atlanta's Emory University Hospital shortly after the
plane landed.
Emory has said it will treat Brantly, 33, and eventually
the other American -- fellow missionary Nancy Writebol
-- in a special isolation unit, where physicians believe
they'll have a better chance to steer them back to
health while ensuring the virus doesn't spread.
Tennessee doctor who worked with Ebola patients
quarantines self
Organizers expect the plane will return to Liberia to
pick up Writebol, and they hope she can be brought to
Georgia early next week, said Todd Shearer,
spokesman for Christian charity Samaritan's Purse
with whom both Americans were affiliated.
Brantly, of Fort Worth, Texas, and Writebol, of North
Carolina, became sick while caring for Ebola patients in
Liberia, one of three West African nations hit by an
outbreak that health officials believe has sickened
more than 1,300 people and killed more than 700 this
year.
Treatment at Emory hospital
Both Brantly and Writebol are to be taken to a special
isolation unit at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital.
Dr. Bruce Ribner, who oversees the unit, emphasized
that precautions are in place to prevent the virus from
spreading.
Everything that comes in and out of the unit will be
controlled, he said, and it will have windows and an
intercom for staff to interact with patients without
being in the room.
The Emory unit was created in conjunction with the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is
based down the road. It aims to optimize care for those
with highly infectious diseases and is one of four U.S.
institutions capable of providing such treatment.
Still, Emory has not had any experience dealing with
Ebola, nor has any U.S. medical facility had a known
patient with the virus.
"This particular pathogen is new to the United States,"
Ribner said.
In the 1990s, an Ebola strain tied to monkeys -- Ebola-
Reston -- was found in the United States, but no
humans got sick from it, according to the CDC.
The World Health Organization reports that the
outbreak in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea has
infected more than 1,300 people and killed more than
700 this year.
Ebola is not airborne or waterborne, and spreads
through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as
blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected
people.
Fear, conspiracy theories
As the patients make their way home, the idea of
purposefully bringing Ebola into the United States has
rattled many nerves.
"The road to hell was paved with good intentions,"
wrote one person, using the hashtag #EbolaOutbreak.
"What do we say to our kids When they get sick& die?"
On the website of conspiracy talker Alex Jones, who
has long purported the CDC could unleash a pandemic
and the government would react by instituting
authoritarian rule, the news was a feast of fodder.
"Feds would exercise draconian emergency powers if
Ebola hits U.S.," a headline read on infowars.com.
Ribner repeatedly downplayed the risk for anyone who
will be in contact with Brantly or Writebol.
"We have two individuals who are critically ill, and we
feel that we owe them the right to receive the best
medical care," Ribner said.
The fight against Ebola
All concerns about the United States pale in
comparison to the harsh reality in the hardest-hit
areas.
Even in the best-case scenario, it could take three to
six months to stem the epidemic in West Africa, said
Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC.
This is "an unprecedented outbreak accompanied by
unprecedented challenges," Dr. Margaret Chan, the
head of the World Health Organization, said Friday.
Addressing the leaders of Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea
and Ivory Coast, Chan noted that the virus is moving
over porous borders, by plane. It has gone into rural
areas where it's hard to get adequate treatment, as
well as crowded cities where it can spread more easily.
"This outbreak is moving faster than our efforts to
control it," she said. "If things keep getting worse, it
could kill many more people, disrupt societies and
economies, and spread to other countries.
There's no vaccine, though one is in the works.
There's no standardized treatment for the disease,
either; the most common approach is to support organ
functions and keep up bodily fluids such as blood and
water long enough for the body to fight off the
infection.
The National Institutes of Health plans to begin testing
an experimental Ebola vaccine in people as early as
September. Tests on primates have been successful.
So far, the outbreak is confined to West Africa.
Although infections are dropping in Guinea, they are
on the rise in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

iamord: Stop spreading false news. ghana has refused to seek IMF bail out ,and is looking @ other options. I think instead of making fun here, there should be one or two lessons you people can pick from the ghanaian economic situation. Ghana became the fastest growing economy in the world. And a low middle income. Country, the prospects where high and to top it up the country discovered oil in commercial quantities, everything seemed to be moving well and it could only better. Ghana was considered as a. Beacon of hope to africa, but there has been a canker worm which had not been burnt out, tribalism! The power Issue and inflation was Not What we are seeing Today. the gas plant project was already set Up. But people didn't see all this cause they were just triblastic cos the then. Incumbent party was akan. They got their heart desire and ndc got in .. And have destroyed the country with corruption and poor planning. They stopped a lot. Of the ungoing projects and put their own people in. But I know ghana will bounce back and take its rightful place

that's Ghana's business not ours!

If I were this guy called Jonathan, would sit my ass back here in Nigeria ... We have too many issues already besetting this Nation at this point in time! ... Chibok girls still in captivity, wave of female suicide bombers, Boko haram fresh threat to bomb akwaibom, possible Ebola outbreak in Anambra state, and other issues are even enough reason to boycot this useless leadership summit! The leaders of Liberia and sierralone did the needful by staying back home to avoid unnecessarily humiliation by the US government.

Yea ... That's nice

So where exactly did Sahara Reporters get this News from? Well, we shall find out !!!

This is Nonsense!! They came up with this move after they've been widely condemned for allowing Dead body flown into this country from Liberia!!! Its a shame that the government is coming up with this decision when the DAMAGE has already been done!! Its too late to start carrying out a Test on the body! This is what a sensible government would have done over there in Liberia before bringing in the body down here!! I just pray and hope the Victim died of some other ailment! Coz if its confirmed EBOLA! Then you know, we are Finished!

Georgia is the only reasonable country on that list! But NOT visa FREE as the OP wrongly mis informed us with his misleading headline!! ...... Just in a bid to get Traffic and possibly make front page!! Lols!!! Guy huzzle hard! Get topics like EBOLA, TONTO DIKE etc and you're sure to HIT front page!!

A lot of people get Job through nairaland on daily basis without coming here to mention it!
So if you want to make it public, you might as well tell us the Job position and coy! Let's know if its actually one of the firms some of us are waiting to resume with! Dem fit don go do backyard recruitment! Just like Flour mills of nigeria plc that placed some of us on WAITING LIST to resume! Nobody knows their game plan! All the same, Congratulations!!!!!!!!

I've always known bitter cola to be highly medicinal tho!

CFCfan: Will persons below 18 years be eligible for the 64 page passport? Or will there be separate. 32 and 64 page passports?

I don't think there's AGE barrier with respect to 64 page passport so long as the applicant is a Frequent Traveler!

Is he just waking up from slumber?

30,000 this folks want to cajole us into believing they're seriously working round the clock to contain this virus!!! If doctors are that passionate to save lives, they would call off the strike ........ Who is deceiving who?

IT'S ONLY A JOBLESS PERSON THAT HAS THE TIME TO READ THIS NONSENSE! nothing changes the fact that CULTISM is evil! No matter how good you guys try to portray it to be! .......

OP didn't download the full information! Only the 64 page passport for frequent travellers cost 20k the rest are bellow that!! Here's the breakdown!

The 64 page e-passport will cost N20,000. The e-
Passport for those below 18 years will cost N8,750,
while those from 18-60 years will pay N15,000 for
the e-passport. Those aged 60 years and above will
pay N8,750 for the passport. Change of data or of
loss of passport will attract N20,000.
Change of name as a result of marriage, divorce and
deceased spouse will cost N8,750, while change of
data on request will attract a processing fee of
N30,000.

Just read this from his face book page few minutes ago! Truth is, the rain falls on every roof! May the soul of the young man rest in peace!!!

Damn!!! How time flies! This isn't the Nkiru Sylvanus I know that acted Spanner or Green snake with Aki! Looking so over blown!!! Wonder what Rochas did to this Lady?

Becareful of what you wish yourself!!! If you have a EBOLa don't think you'll have the strength to even type this ish! But then, in reality! I think your Girl friend have infected you the STAF .. Or other sexual disease but surely not Ebola! I know a young man like you wouldn't be so stupid and foolish to crack a joke of your man hood not responding!! That's a serious case! Sorry man!!

PROPAGANDA !!!! If I were samsung, wouldn't hesitate to replace the phone asap!!!

I'm sure ROCHAS is thinking either to quit APC or Not! Truth is, he's frustrated right now! But shame and pride wouldn't allow him to quit APC for APGA!! I'm sure he will never want to lick his vomit!! He shot himself on the foot by dumping the party that made him... For APC that has no bearing!!

NOT INTERESTED! BBM, Whatsapp, LinkedIn, Google+ , facebook, Twitter, Viber, Weechat, and Almighty NAIRALAND is enough for me !!!!! If the App is good as outlined, you don't need to persuade anyone to have it! So I guess the APP is as wack as poo!

And most Nigerians will be here engaging in E-fight coz of these politicians! not knowing they only use us as PAWN on the chess board to achieve their aim.

I slightly agree with the listed schools! But seems NUC just hand picked the Premier schools? And added few second generation Unis!! All the same, first Generation Unis deserves to make the list!!

God help us ... Now I can see ... End time is at hand!
