Unbelievable: Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu Rubbishes President Jonathan

A former governor of Lagos state and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu has faulted the style of leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan. He describes the President as a confused man who is unfit and incompetent to rule Nigeria.

Tinubu who spoke during the rally held for the re-election of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, in Osogbo, said the President does not understand what it means to govern and therefore knows nothing about good governance.

He wondered why the President would deploy soldiers for an election when they should have been used to stop the killing of Nigerians in the North.

He said, “President Goodluck Jonathan does not understand what it means to govern. He knows nothing about good governance. He’s confused.

“How can he bring soldiers to Osun
because of election and claimed to be protecting youth corps members, when he should have used that force to stop the killing of our people in the North?”

“People of Osun must not collect bribe from Peoples Democratic Party. We have offered you better life, good jobs will be offered the youths and we will maintain the register of progress in this state.

“APC is the party for the masses with the capacity to care for the people. I want you to know that the FG is using your money to pay the soldiers and the police brought here. Don’t run away from them so that you can protect your votes. If they fail in their duty to provide security for you, we will  protest their oppression. They cannot chase us away from our votes.”

Jim Iyke Aplogises For His Statement About Ebola Virus

Nollywood star actor, JIM IYKE has publicly apologise for his recent comments regarding the Ebola VIRUS.

Before He left Liberia, he shared a photo in which he was wearing a mask and captioned it:

“Monrovia, unfinished biz (BUSINESS); Leavin(g) tonite(tonight). Nt (Not) ashamed to admit. Tis ish(issue) scares the Jesus outta me. #Ebola!!!!”

Jim Iyke was heavily criticised for his comments and attitude over the very sensitive issue.

In his apology statement he says:

“May I humbly apologize if my comments on Ebola – based on fear – were taken out of context.”  The last thing I wanted to do was to alarm anyone.

My heart goes out to all the families who have been affected by the Ebola virus –those who have lost their lives or loved ones, those who are still bravely fighting the disease and all of the communities who are battling to keep the infection under control. You are all in my prayers.

As I TRAVEL constantly across continents, most recently USA, Senegal, Liberia, Ghana, Gambia, I have been screened where and when necessary along with the other passengers and I believe it is the responsibility of every citizen to be vigilant and help contain the outbreak by following the advice of the local and international medical professionals and government officials”.

Jim Iyke.

Ebola Update : Lagos begins search for 27 secondary contacts

According to Punch, Lagos State Government has commenced an intensive search for 27 secondary contacts, who might have had contacts with doctors, nurses and health workers, who attended to the late Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, at a Lagos private hospital.

Sawyer, who was infected with the deadly Ebola virus in his native Liberia, died in the Obalende, Lagos-based hospital penultimate Friday, four days after he was admitted to the hospital.

The 40-year-old Sawyer was in Nigeria to attend a conference in Calabar, Cross River State. Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, who spoke in Lagos on Wednesday, said the government was also planning a life insurance cover for doctors and other health professionals, who volunteered to work with experts monitoring and testing suspected cases of the Ebola Virus Disease.

Idris, who spoke at a press briefing, said the government was presently facing a shortage of experts, doctors and health workers needed to attend to those that had been infected and those that were going to be isolated for monitoring.

He said, “We will provide a life insurance for any doctor, nurse and other experts that want to work with isolated patients. We need more hands, because we have moved from the stage of primary contacts to secondary contacts.

“We are tracing all the people that had contact, not just with (the late) Sawyer, but those that had contacts with the health workers and others that have died.

“We have identified 27 secondary contacts already, we tracing the addresses of others.

“It is a tedious task, because we will also be taking their blood samples for testing and we will be monitoring them.
“We are appealing to the doctors on strike to resume work and set aside their grievances. No doubt, this situation is a dire emergency and our health professionals must recognise that.

“It will be morally unjustifiable for us to call for help from the international community if our own experts and doctors are not working.

“The bottom line is that we cannot provide the requisite expertise needed to manage these confirmed and probable cases.”

Idris said it would also be evacuating tuberculosis patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Yaba, Lagos, to another hospital to accommodate more suspected and isolated cases.

We have also confirmed that the female doctor whom was infected with Ebola died today in Lagos state.

Exclusive: Davido Explains Why He Is Mad At Wizkid

Davido has finally opened up on his alleged ‘beef’ with Wizkid.

While speaking with Sahara TV, Davido said ‘It’s not beef at all..but I’m the type of person if I feel something… to me everything you do, you don’t hit your brother down’

He explained further that the saga began after Wizkid made a comment about his NY concert, which he believed was directed at him.

‘This is the first time I’m saying this but the only reason I was upset was because of the NY concert. I was even going to tweet like you know ‘make sure everybody turn up for my brother Wizkid’s concert’ and he threw a shade like that. I’m not going to take that…that’s why I went and said what I said’ , he said.

"But it’s all cool, at the end of the day, we got to keep it on the music. Shout out to him. I’m still a big fan. It was never nothing but don’t throw a shade at me… especially when we were on the flight earlier. By the way, check the numbers on my last concert. Let’s leave it like that’ , he concluded.

We hope Wizkid would open up too.
