Update On The Deadly Ebola Disease In Lagos State

Nigeria is on alert against the possible spread of Ebola, a day after the first confirmed death from the virus in Lagos, Africa’s biggest city and the country’s financial capital.

The health ministry said on Friday that a 40-year-old Liberian man died at a private hospital in Lagos from the disease, which has now killed more than 650 people in four west African countries since January — the deadliest outbreak in history.

The victim, who worked for the Liberian government, collapsed at Lagos international airport after arriving on a flight from Monrovia via the Togolese capital Lome on Tuesday, according to the Nigerian government. He did not come into contact with the public in Lagos other than health workers before being isolated at the hospital, they added.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that efforts were being made to track down people the victim may have come into contact with on his journey from the Liberian capital.

“Contact tracing under way — Liberia, Nigeria, Togo. WHO deployed staff to Nigeria to help with the safe handling of remains,” the global health body’s African region said on its Twitter account @WHOAFRO.

Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi
Chukwu had previously said all
passengers who travelled with the victim on the Togo-based carrier ASKY from Lome had been traced.

Meanwhile an emergency operations centre has been set up, co-ordinated by  the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (CDC), and all hospitals have been equipped to handle emergencies and suspected cases, the minister added.

Borders have not been closed but health specialists have been deployed to all sea ports and international airports to identify any passengers displaying symptoms associated with Ebola. [INFNG]

2015: Chief Kriz Ijibike Ready For The Great Task Ahead

I never thought i would ever have to write a full article about a Nigerian politician. A very positive review for that matter. This was not for lack of optimism on my part, but for the lack of vision and purpose on their part. 

The reality is that a good Nigerian politician is difficult to come by. The vast majority of the politicians elected into government are self- serving, corrupt and worse of all visionless. They are corrupt nationally, regionally and locally. They are corrupt in the South and in the North, in the East and in the West.

After the era of visionary and selfless leaders like Awolowo, Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello, we are lumbered with the misfortune of having so-called usurpers who think they are doing us a favour by carrying out what they are elected to do.

Chief Kriz Ijibike an aspirant for the post of local government chairman is a departure from this filth. He is a breath of fresh air compared to many people who has held any executive position in Nigeria. He is so different that you can hardly believe he is one of us. He is genuinely and determinedly interested in changing the lives of his constituents for good.

His singular purpose in life is to bring succor to the down trodden, provide better life and a lasting legacy of superlative welfare and infrastructural facilities for his people by delivering the dividends of his democratic mandate and positively touch the lives of as many as he can with the warmth and kindness of someone who truly cares.

This is not to say he is perfect because no man is, but i can boldly say Chief Kriz Ijibike is ready to take Ukwuani Local government, Delta state and Nigeria as a whole to the next level.

Check out some pictures from delegates meeting of Ukwuani Coalition for Good Governance led by Chief Kriz Ijibike at Ijibike's  residence, Obiaruku, Ukwuani LGA Below:

Nicki Minaj Tweets About Racism — Dissing Iggy Azalea Again?

Less than one month after Nicki
seemingly slammed Iggy during her
acceptance speech for Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards on June 29, it looks like the ‘Anaconda’ artist is throwing even more shade at her fellow rapper in two shocking new tweets!

Nicki worked hard to get to where she is today, and she revealed on Twitter on July 23 that she doesn’t take kindly to others “cutting corners” to get to the top. She also seems to be implying that race can play a role in certain undeserving people’s overnight success stories.

Could she be referring to her rap rival Iggy, who is admittedly a bit of an overnight sensation and who is also, obviously, white?

How I Escaped Assassination —Buhari

General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd),
yesterday gave an account of what how he escaped death in a bomb attack apparently targeted at him in Kaduna.

In a statement released about six hours after the attack, the former military head of state said : “I was personally involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today (yesterday) at about 2:30pm on my way to Daura.

“The unfortunate event, clearly an
assassination attempt, came from a fast- moving vehicle that made many attempts to overtake my security car, but was blocked by escort vehicle. We reached the market area of Kawo where he took advantage of our slowing down and attempted to ram my car and instantly detonated the bomb which destroyed all the three cars in our convoy.

“Unfortunately, when I came out of my vehicle, I saw many dead bodies littered around. They were innocent people going about their daily business, who became victims of mass murder. Thank God for His mercy, I came out unhurt, but with three of my security staff sustaining minor injuries. They have since been treated in hospital and discharged,” the statement by Buhari read.

Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan has thanked God for sparing the lives of General Buhari and Sheikh Bauchi following separate bomb attacks on the two men.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati said:

“President Goodluck Jonathan condemns the bombings in Kaduna today (yesterday) which appeared to have targeted former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari and prominent Islamic cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.

“President Jonathan denounces the
dastardly targeting of prominent political and religious leaders by terrorists and enemies of the nation in an odious attempt to inflame passions and exacerbate disquiet, fear, insecurity and sectional divisions in the country.

“While thanking God Almighty for sparing the lives of General Buhari and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, the President extends sincere condolences to the families of those who were sadly killed by the bomb blasts.

“President Jonathan also commiserates with all those who were injured in the twin bombings in this Holy Month of Ramadan which defy the tenets of Islam, and provide further proof that the terrorists are nothing but blood-thirsty extremists bent on undermining the unity and progress of the nation.

“The President assures residents of
Kaduna and all other Nigerians that the Federal Government will continue and further intensify its ongoing efforts to effectively curb the menace of terrorism in the country.

“He has specifically directed the Police and other national security agencies to take all necessary actions to apprehend the perpetrators of today’s attacks on Kaduna and urges all residents of the city to give them the fullest possible cooperation and support as they work to bring the terrorists to justice.”

BokoHaram: 82 Killed In Kaduna Bomb Attacks

The death toll in Wednesday’s bombing in Kaduna has risen to 82 as insurgents attempted to kill former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) and an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who both escaped unhurt, Vanguard reports.

There were two bomb blasts which
happened in the space of two hours. Police said 25 people were killed in the first blast, but eyewitnesses told newsmen that about 40 died in the blast. Not less than 50 people were also reported to have died in the second bomb attack suspected to have been perpetrated by Islamist sect Boko Haram.

MillBuhari had announced the attempt on his life in a statement he issued immediately after the incident, where he narrated how the suicide bomber tried to carry out the deadly assignment.

The first bomb attack took place on Isa Kaita Road, off Ali Akilu road around 12:30pm, yesterday, when the convoy of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi was returning home after a Ramadan Tafsir sermon. Bauchi had about three weeks ago escaped a bomb attack near his home in Eskolia quarters of Kaduna.

The second blast took place around
2:30pm, about two kilometres away from the scene of the first blast at the busy over-head bridge at Kawo part of Kaduna town as Buhari was making his way out of town. 

Speaking to newsmen at the scene of the first attack, Kaduna State Police Commissioner, Umar Shehu said:

“All I can say is that the Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and Road Safety Corps have told me that they recovered 25 corpses from this place. But you can see that we still have some human remains here. I cannot tell you the number of those injured at this point. That is all I can say”.

An eyewitness, Isa Saidu, 23, who spoke to newsmen however said he counted 41 bodies following the blast.

“I was at the Murtala Mohammed Square where Sheikh Dahiru preached to us. I was also in the convoy conveying him back home. It was a long convoy. Suddenly, I saw a man on a motorcycle carrying a sack or bag. He was driving very recklessly and defied the instructions of our security guard, who attempted to make him slow down. He then tried to come close to the car conveying the Sheikh but the security did not allow him,” he said.

“As he persisted, they pushed him off the road and he fell into a ditch, while the bomb device he was carrying exploded. I don’t want to say what happened. Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi’s body was covered with blood, but it was the blood of those who were protecting him. I can swear by Allah that I personally counted 41 bodies. It is the most terrible thing of my life.”

An eyewitness of the second blast,
who is also an aide to Buhari in his account said a man in a Sienna car had trailed the convoy of General Buhari from where it took off.

“The car overtook other cars and came very close to the SUV in which the General was. His security details tried to get in-between, then the Sienna car exploded.

“The security men’s car was destroyed, and the three men were severely injured. The General’s car was damaged badly, but because it was bullet-proof, he came out unhurt, and was transferred to another car and taken away,” he said.

Enugu Deputy Gov. to be served impeachment notice for rearing chickens in Govt house

Enugu - The Enugu State House of Assembly has commenced impeachment proceedings against the deputy governor of the state, Sunday Onyebuchi.

Premium Times reports 22 out of the 24 members of the Enugu State House of Assembly yesterday July 22nd passed a resolution to serve the state deputy Governor, Sunday Onyebuchi, an impeachment notice over allegations of operating a commercial poultry farm within his official quarters in the state capital.

According to the lawmakers, the state deputy governor’s action contravenes their Feb 12 2013 resolution which ‘prohibited the maintenance and operation of a commercial livestock and poultry farms within residential neighborhoods in Enugu Metropolis in promotion of public health standards’.

They say an earlier directive by the state Governor, Chime Sullivan, to have the said poultry relocated by relevant ministry officials was disobeyed by the deputy governor who afterwards resorted to inviting pressmen to castigate the Governor.

The Deputy Governor is also being
accused of constantly disrespecting the state Governor which obstructs the peaceful administration of the state.

ways. Just weeks after a British girl was filmed performing a s*x act on 24 men in a night club in Magaluf, a major holiday resort on Majorca, Spain, another British couple have been filmed being really naughty.
