SportsGhana 4x100m Team Sets New National Record At African Champs by Smartwizy(op): 6:46am On Aug 15, 2014
Ghana’s 4x100m relay team ran the fastest
time by a Ghanaian team at an African
Athletics Championship since 1998 after
winning a silver medal in a time of 39.28s at
the ongoing Confederation of African Athletics
Championships in Marrakech, Morocco on
Tuesday.
The relatively inexperienced team, which was
made up of three debutants, including a
400m runner, gave Nigeria a run for their
money before claiming silver in a pulsating
race.
400m runner Daniel Gyasi gave Ghana a
good start before Solomon Afful ran a brilliant
back straight, handing over to Emmanuel
Dasor who ran a splendid curve to pass the
baton on to Tim Abeyie. But a strong finish
by Nigeria’s Mark Jelks denied Team Ghana
the ultimate prize.
Nigeria won the very competitive event in a
time of 38.80, followed by Ghana in 39.28
while Algeria clinched third place in 39.89.
Ghana has participated in nine editions of the
African Championships since 1998 and the
4x100m quartet wrote their names into the
history books as one of the best teams with
their splendid display.
The quartet of Daniel Gyasi, Solomon Afful,
Emmanuel Dasor and Tim Abeyie eclipsed the
previous performance by the national relay
team at the last African Athletics
Championship in Benin, where Ghana ran
39.40 to win a bronze medal.
Tim Abeyie, the only surviving member of that
last 4x100m relay team of 2012, commented
on the team’s performance.
“Good. It’s better than the last time in Benin
when we came third and the time is an
improvement over the time in Benin.
The German based sprinter added that his
performance in Morocco is better than the
last Championship in Benin saying, “It’s
better than Benin. I made the final in the
100m and now we have silver in the relay.
It’s good.”
Sprinter Emmanuel Dasor, who was making
his debut appearance on the senior relay
team could not hide his joy. “It is very good.
This is my second time, running for my
national team. I’m so grateful and happy. I
thank almighty God for this.”
400m runner Daniel Gyasi added, “I’m very
surprised because this is my first time
running in the 4x100m relay team.”
Solomon Afful expressed his joy at winning
his first senior medal, “It is a great honour to
run for the nation.
This is my second time running for the
national team. I think we did marvelously
well. It is good.”
PoliticsSOS From Nigerians Onscholarship In Russia by Smartwizy(op): 7:02pm On Aug 13, 2014
SIR: This is a save-our-souls call from Nigerian
students in Russia under the Bilateral Education
Agreement (BEA) programme of the Federal
Scholarship Board. If something is not urgently
done to help our situation, Nigerians should
expect to see screaming headlines like Russian
Government deports Nigerian Scholarship
Students for begging for alms on the streets of
Russia; Russia set to deport Nigerian
scholarship students for working without work
permits; Nigerian students starve to death in
Russia; Female Nigerian students prostitute for
food in Russia.
The BEA scheme is a joint program run by the
Nigerian government (through the Federal
Ministry of Education) in collaboration with
governments of other countries such as Russia,
China, Cuba, Morocco, Algeria, Ukraine, etc.
Under the scheme, outstanding students from
all the states of the federation are nominated by
the Nigerian government to the foreign
governments. The receiving-country then
places the scholars in universities and pays
their tuition while the Nigerian government pays
for students’ visas, flight, and a monthly
allowance of US$500.
In the last seven months, we have not received
our stipends from the Federal Scholarship
Board (FSB), Abuja. Not a kobo or a single
cent. Having not received a single cent in the
last seven months from the government that
sent us abroad, how are we expected to
survive? The average cost of living in most
Russian cities is about US$750 monthly; in
cities like St. Petersburg and Moscow, it gets
as high as US$1,000. This means that the US
$500 the FSB is supposed to pay us is grossly
inadequate. That notwithstanding, the US$500
is never paid as at when due. The earliest we
have received our stipends in the last four years
is six months late. Every year, the Association
of Nigerian Scholarship Students in Russia
(ANSSIR) keeps writing newspaper articles as
this, including letters to the House of
Representatives, Senate and to the Federal
Scholarship Board. Our numerous requests to
increase our stipends and to pay them as at
and when due has always gone unanswered.
The excuse always given is that the budget has
not been passed. Does it take seven months to
pass the budget every year? What about the
supplementary budget? Why can’t provisions
be made for our stipends in the supplementary
budget? Why can’t our stipends be paid
monthly like Nigerian workers (such as the staff
of the FSB) and students from other countries
such as Botswana and Ghana?
Nigerians need to understand that the visas
issued us by the Russian government are
student visas, which preclude any form of
employment. This means that we are not
permitted by law to work even as cleaners,
waiters or waitress, not part-time, not even
during the holidays. Russian immigration laws
are very strict and the Russian authorities are
quick to punish offenders. Earlier this year,
some foreign students were deported for
working at a restaurant, in addition to the
owners of the restaurant being made to pay
huge fines. We would have loved to work to
support ourselves but we are not permitted to
work.
More worrisome is that that our yearly student
visa expires in another four weeks. To renew it,
we need a US$40 renewal fee. Failure to renew
it 20 days before expiry could lead to
deportation. Our problems still does not end
there. Some of us our currently doing internship
either at the hospital (medical students) or
airport (aeronautical engineering students) and
need money for transportation.
We plead with the federal government to
speedily come to our rescue to save us from
trauma.

The Lagos State Government on Friday
said two persons out of those who had
contact with Patrick Sawyer, the dead Liberian
Ebola victim, have manifested symptoms of
fever.
Patrick Sawyer died of Ebola after
arriving Lagos from Liberia
The Commissioner for Health, Jide Idris, made
the disclosure when he addressed journalists
on the update of the country`s first Ebola case
in Ikeja.
Mr. Idris said the two persons were among the
70 contacts being monitored and investigated
for any symptoms of the disease by the state
government and other partners.
The commissioner, who said the two cases
were under observation, however stressed that
they did not test positive to the virus.
Mr. Idris said the state government would
continue to monitor all contacts with the victim
until the end of the 21 incubation day period of
the virus.
“Our Rapid Response Team is currently
tracking all contacts of persons exposed to the
dead passenger with Ebola virus,” the
commissioner said.
“The contact tracing team is following 70
contacts of the EVD case and linking them to
clinical support when needed.
“Two suspect cases had fever, they are under
observation and so far have tested negative to
the virus.
“The monitoring of suspect cases will continue
until the end of them period of 21 days from
their exposure to the victim.”
The commissioner said an emergency
operation centre had been activated in Lagos
by the state and its partners as part of efforts
to check the threat of the virus.
He added that the Federal Government had
stepped up measures to screen incoming
passengers to Nigeria —through, airport,
seaport and border crossing — to identify any
traveller with symptoms.
Mr. Idris said a deceased body was recently
brought to Nigeria from Liberia, explaining that
the government was investigating if he died
from Ebola.
The commissioner urged residents to
collaborate with government in checking the
Ebola threat in the country by reporting
suspected cases for government`s
intervention.
Saying diseases thrive well in dirty
environments, Mr. Idris urged residents to
maintain clean body and environment to
reduce the risk of the virus.
Also speaking, Abdul Salim Nasidi of the
National Disease Control Centre said although
disease has no cure, it was treatable.
He warned members of the public against
emphasizing that the virus had not cure,
saying it might discourage those with
suspected cases from accessing treatment.
Mr. Nasidi said the Federal Government was
doing everything to check the threat of the
disease and urged citizens not to panic as no
fresh case had been discovered yet in the
country.

PoliticsBoko Haram Working To Seize Kano, Kaduna, Niger, Kogi And Nasarawa States. by Smartwizy(op): 11:53pm On Jul 31, 2014
A high-level Nigerian security source told
SaharaReporters that Nigeria’s intelligence
agencies have received “credible reports that
Boko Haram has developed an ambitious plan
to overwhelm and take over Kano, Kaduna,
Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states.”
The source said the Islamist terrorist group
plans to carry out its design by intensifying its
bombings and choosing locations that would
yield high casualty figures.
“Their move is to encircle [Nigeria’s capital city
of] Abuja and increase the level of political
instability in the country,” our source revealed.
The high-level intelligence agent disclosed
that the shape of the terror group’s plans have
emerged from the confessions of some Boko
Haram insurgents who were captured recently.
“We have also acquired a lot of information
about their [Boko Haram’s] plans through our
interrogation of Aminu Sadiq Oguche.” Mr.
Oguche, who was recently extradited to
Nigeria from Sudan, is accused of
masterminding some of the recent high-profile
bomb blasts in Nigeria, including explosions at
a bus station in Abuja that claimed more than
100 lives. In addition, security agents have
gleaned “significant and useful intelligence”
from interrogating one Mohammed Zakari,
described as “the chief butcher” of Boko
Haram. Mr. Zakari was recently arrested in
Bauchi, capital of Bauchi State.
Our source said that Nigeria’s security
agencies are stepping up counter-insurgency
measures to forestall Boko Haram’s plans to
spread its tentacles to the states they are
targeting.
“Apart from information we have gathered from
interrogating suspects, we are also tracking
critical conversations by the group’s hierarchy
and examining sensitive documents recovered
after recent raids on their bases in Bauchi,
Jigawa and Borno states,” the source said.
Our source added that President Goodluck
Jonathan and a few other government officials
had been briefed about the new threats by
Boko Haram as well as the outline of the plans
to counter the group’s ambitious push.
A senior Islamic scholar in Northern Nigeria,
who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said
his group was cooperating with the
government to defeat Boko Haram. “We
discussed with President Jonathan when we
met during the end of the Ramadan fast and
told him that we are ready to help stop Boko
Haram. But we also told him that this is
something the government must take action
on. We’re doing our own, but we have
limitations,” he said.

Hehe MUST READ:
-Conversation between AIDS
and EBOLA VIRUS...
Aids:Hey baby girl! Glad to have you here in
Nigeria.
Ebola:Thankx boss. How has your mission
been?
Aids:Has been very much successful,but just
a couple of
impediments I ve encountered since the
introduction of condom and a few other
contraceptives.....
Ebola:Really!
AIDS: Yea! That not withstanding,
i'm still making impact enormously.
Ebola : Kudos boss! More grease your elbow.
Aids: Thanks baby sharwarma.Hope you've
set down good strategies for the achievement
of your quest?
Ebola:Yes of course! I'm no dumb head!
Infact,a victim of mine died recently.
Aids: Like seriously! That's awesome....So
tell me more.....
Ebola: The issue here,is that i'm trying to
bring the popular saying "there's love in
sharing" into
play. Nigerian bats and apes have decried
the constant share of their meats by bush
meat lovers;
without partaking in their problems as well.
So,my
aim is to balance the equation and erase
partiality.
Aids : Waoh! That's good. So what actually
motivated your migration into Nigeria?
Ebola: During my intensive survey, I
discovered that so much of Nigerians enjoy
munching bush meat,and for that,I ve come
to make them also,partakers of me as well!
As u know,"DIARIS LOVE IN SHARING".
Aids: So, who is free from your TENTACLES?
Ebola: Those who desist from consuming
bush meats;
especially monkeys and bats have less
possibilities of contacting me.
Aids: I discovered that you're more powerful
and contagious than I do. What's the secret?
Ebola: (blushing).....O yea! Well,the secret is
the incessant complaints
tabled by monkeys and bats. Their
complaints have made me so
furious. I've made it a point of duty to move
into anybody who comes in contact with
those I ve
affected.
Aids: Hmm! You're really awesome! Can we
hang out sometime?
Ebola: (smiling)Stop flattering me boss! Will
be on my way now. I've got someone to
inflict somewhere...... About the hang out,I
will give it a thought(winks).
Aids: Alright. Take care and good luck my
Rosalito Pepperto.
Ebola: Thanks boss!!
Funny!!! Right!!!.........
Well,brothers and sisters,avoid bush meat,be
vigilant,so u dnt fall a victim...... Pray without
season and ceasing. We shall only hear of
it,but it will not befall anyone of us in Jesus
Name....... # Amen.
