Religion / Nigeria Faces Increased Ebola Risk As BA Diverts Freetown And Monrovia Flights T by pigin: 11:49am On Aug 27, 2014
NIGERIA faces an increased risk of infection from ebola as passengers flying to Sierra Leone and Liberia will have to pass through Lagos from henceforth after British Airways suspended all flights to Freetown and Monrovia until next year.
Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea have been the epicentres of the dreaded ebola virus disease (EVD) that has raged across West Africa in recent months, killing over 1,400 people. In a bid to contain the virus, many airlines have cancelled flights to the three countries and many of their neighbours have closed their borders.
British Airways is one of West Africa's busiest airlines and flies every week to both Liberia and Sierra Leone from London. To contain the spread of EVD, British Airways has decided to cancel its flights to both countries and divert all trips to Lagos and Accra, urging passengers to get connecting flights from Nigeria and Ghana.
This will mean passengers wishing to fly into and out of both Sierra Leone and Liberia will have to transit through Nigeria, increasing the risk of infection. EVD was brought to Nigeria on July 14 when Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer flew to Calabar for a regional summit and infected all those her came in contact with.
A British Airways spokesman said: “British Airways has suspended flights to and from Liberia and Sierra Leone until 31 December 2014 due to concerns about the public health situation in both countries. The safety of our customers, crew and ground teams is always our top priority and we will keep the routes under constant review in the coming weeks.”
Originally, the airline had previously suspended its flights until September but has now decided to extend this until the end of the year. Normally, the carrier flies four times a week between London’s Heathrow airport and Freetown in Sierra Leone, with a connection to the Liberian capital Monrovia.
British Airways said customers with tickets booked on those routes could get a refund, rebook for a later date, or rearrange to fly out of Ghana, Kenya or Nigeria. At the moment, getting out of these countries is extremely difficult as the few flights that remain are over-booked, causing severe delays.
Even the World Health Organisation (WHO) has withdrawn its staff from the ebola laboratory at Kailahun in eastern Sierra Leone after one of its medical workers there was infected. WHO had sent nearly 400 people comprising its own staff and those from partner organisations to fight the outbreak across West Africa.
“It’s a temporary measure to take care of the welfare of our remaining workers. After our assessment, they will return,” WHO spokesperson, Christy Feig said.http://www.nigerianwatch.com/news/5178-nigeria-faces-increased-ebola-risk-as-ba-diverts-freetown-and-monrovia-flight-to-lagos

to the family of the deceased

Politics / Calabar: Only Son Commits Suicide For Love: Pictures by pigin: 6:32am On Jul 12, 2014
Friends and family members of
a twenty one year a student of
Maritime Academy Oron ,
Effiong Otu are at a loss why he
took his life by hanging on a
rope in his room on Thursday
morning after he was jilted by
his girl friend.
A family source who gave her
name as Ann told
CrossRiverWatch that Effiong was
found hanging in his room at
Diamond Hill a few minutes
after he collected a rope from
neighbors who became
suspicious soon after he went
inside his room with the rope
wondering what he wanted to
use it for.
According to the source, when
his mother Grace Otu , a nurse
at the University of Calabar
Teaching Hospital left the house
at about 3 pm on the day of the
incident the young man
borrowed a rope and killed
himself.
“The 10th of July was the 10th
year anniversary of his father’s
death in a car accident and after
the anniversary and everyone
had left the house and his
mother also went out, he went
to the neighbors and borrowed a
rope which he took to his room
and hung himself”
Ann said the neighbors became
suspicious what he was doing in
his room with the rope and
decided to rush there but found
the door to the room locked and
before they could force the
door open he had died” Our
source said.
She said before he hung
himself, he called one of his
friends, Adu on phone
requesting him to tell his girl
friend, Blessing who works with
UNICEM that she should now be
happy that he has killed himself
for her.
“Before his friend could rush to
the house, the door had already
been forced open by neighbors
and Effiong’s body was hanging
from the ceiling of the house”.
Our source said Effiong was an
only son of the family and was
given the late father’s name as a
source of succor for the family
but “He has again left us sad and
angry with this thoughtless
action”
Perhaps to give an inkling of his
planned action , Effiong had
posted on his face book page on
the 6th of July the following
message “It’s not about being
engaged, married or in a
relationship. It’s about being
happy, safe, secured, relieved
and feeling good. It’s about
peaceful state of mind, it’s about
sleeping at night without the
fear of losing what you’ve got.
It’s being yourself and not
someone else, it’s about feeling
LOVED, HAPPY, RESPECTED,
UNDERSTOOD, CARED FOR and
APPRECIATED.. !!Goodnight my
beautiful people!!
Efforts to speak with Hogan
Bassey, the Cross River State
Police Public Relations Officer
did not yield any success as his
phone was switched off.
Mr. Obi Bisong the UNICEM
Corporate Relations officer
where Blessing is said to be
working said he is not aware of
any staff by that name “But
sometimes some of these people
may not be directly our staff but
workers of some of our
contractors”.
Effiong’s body has been removed
and deposited at the mortuary
of the General Hospital, Calabar

Education / Re: Successful People Who Failed At First by pigin: 5:54pm On Jul 11, 2014
@op, your list is not completed without Sly popularly known as Rocky by American kids, and Rambo by Nigerian pikins.
The hugely famous actor,
producer, director Sylvester
Stallone had a rough start. His
life began with pregnancy
complications that changed his
fate forever.
Stallone’s biography at Wikipedia
contains the amazing story :
Complications his mother
suffered during labor forced
her obstetricians to use two
pairs of forceps during his
birth; misuse of these
accidentally severed a nerve
and caused paralysis in
parts of Stallone’s face. As a
result, the lower left side of
his face is paralyzed –
including parts of his lip,
tongue, and chin – an
accident which has given
Stallone his snarling look
and slightly slurred speech.
That’s not all. Wikipedia also
explains:
He spent his first five years
in Hell’s Kitchen, bouncing
between foster homes
while his parents endured a
troubled marriage.
Photo © Flickr User Gage
Skidmore
So did Sly go from there to
instant success? Nope. In fact, he
sunk pretty low and nearly went
broke!
Stallone had his first
starring role in the soft
core pornography feature
film The Party at Kitty and
Stud’s (1970). He was paid
US $200 for two days’ work.
Stallone later explained that
he had done the film out of
desperation after being
evicted from his apartment
and finding himself
homeless for several days.
He has also said that he
slept three weeks in the
New York City Port
Authority bus station prior
to seeing a casting notice
for the film. In the actor’s
words, “it was either do
that movie or rob someone,
because I was at the end –
the very end – of my
rope.”
Failure is the secret to success .
Stallone endured hardship after
hardship before finally finding his
path. In fact, the story of Rocky is
well-known. The actor wrote the
screenplay himself in twenty
hours straight, and then kept
refusing bigger and bigger offers
until someone finally allowed him
to play the title role. That kind of
denial would usually be thought of
as foolish. But for this Hollywood
legend, it was the secret to his
career.
