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.

Ebola: Striking Doctors Offer To Treat Ebola Patients

Striking doctors in Lagos State have
volunteered to join the team of experts managing patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Yaba, Lagos.

The chairman, Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Tope Ojo, who said this at a press briefing in Lagos on Tuesday, added that strike would not stop doctors in the state from attending to persons suspected to have contracted the Ebola virus.

Ojo said about 30 of its members had volunteered to join seven of the Ebola Emergency Response and Management Committee working on the prevention and control of the disease at the IDH centre in Yaba.

He said, “Strike or no strike, we must respond to emergencies. Our doctors are at Mainland Hospital, Yaba, were isolated contacts are being monitored. There are seven committees working on the management of the disease at the centre in Lagos, which our members are part of.

“But the committee, where we are having challenges getting volunteers, is case management. This are the people that work directly with confirmed cases.

“Look at the protective measures that doctors in Liberia and Guinea wear. They are well protected, yet some of them still caught it. Our doctors are worried about the danger it poses to their lives and they need to be reassured.

“Striking doctors offer to treat Ebola patientsWe understand their fears and we are making moves to confirm the level of preparedness of the government for doctors.”

He informed that the infected doctor, who is presently on admission at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, was responding to treatment. 

“We know that the infected doctor is stable, however, the matron is in a critical condition. But everybody, including the experts from the World Health Organisation, is doing all they can,” he said.

See What Drake Has To Say About His Ex Rihanna

Rihanna is now the devil so says Drake the guy she used to bang.Take a close look at this video Drake is singing "Days In the East"  Monday night in Toronto during his OVO Fest  when a fiery 6 appears, followed by an image of Rihanna, followed again by a 6, then another Rihanna and a 3rd 6.

It's unclear what turned Rihanna from Drake's girl into a satanic symbol. Drake has trashed her here and there, but it's one thing to have beef with your ex, and another to call her out as the devil.

Saudi Tourist Flies Into London With A Gold Range Rover That Has A 666 Plate Number

An unknown Saudi tourist was spotted in wealthy Knightsbridge with a gold Range Rover which costs about £150,000. The shocking thing about the car is the plate number, it had ’666′ on it. I wonder that means.

The car was flown over to the UK by its Saudi owner and was parked outside the expensive Wellesley neighborhood.

Remember residents of West London complained the capital was being inundate with supercars? which they claimed were leading to unruly driving. What are they gonna say now?

Meanwhile check out other supercars parked along the famous West London area below;

Ogun State Governor's Wife Clamours For Husband's Votes

The wife of the Ogun State Governor,
Olufunso Amosun, has urged the electorate in the state to re-elect his governor based on his performance, Punch reports.

Amosun addressed party members at an empowerment programme organised by a member of the state House of Assembly representing Abeokuta-North, Olayiwola Ojodu, on Saturday.

She argued the electorate will enjoy more dividends of democracy if they cast votes for her husband in the 2015 governorship election.

My next post about Governor Amosun would be a review of what his administration has achieved so far.

Nigerian Prostitute, Patoo Abraham, Leads Protest For Prostitutes’ Rights In Lagos [PHOTO]

Prostitution is no longer a big deal in Nigeria, so we are just going to go straight to the point.

Pictured above is a proud Nigerian
prostitute named Patoo Abraham who led a protest for s*x worker's rights in Lagos recently.

Found the report on Al Jazeera. Read and be amazed.

Patoo Abraham has become famous for fighting for the rights of prostitutes, but what she – and those she is trying to help – do to make a living is illegal and frowned upon by many in the country.

Abraham is not only proud of her
profession but is also campaigning to ensure that prostitution is legalised and that s*x workers are respected in Africa’s most populous country.

The 48-year-old has led a couple of protests in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, demanding the rights of prostitutes in a country where s*x vendors suffer physical harm at the hands of their punters Under the auspices of different organisations, scores of prostitutes marched on the streets of Lagos, chanting provocative slogans.

This boldness is unprecedented, and the protesters carried their signature red umbrellas and T-shirts with the inscription “s*x work is work, we need our rights.” “We are tired of dying in silence,” Abraham, who heads the Nigerian chapter of African s*x Workers Alliance (ASWA), told Al Jazeera.

“We want to be able to practise our profession with pride like every other person. We want an end to name-calling and stigmatisation. We are s*x workers and not asawo [a Yoruba derogatory name for prostitutes].” s*x work, said Abraham, is normal work and that there are “s*x workers everywhere under one form of disguise or the other”. “[The] government should stop criminalising our work,” said the woman who is also the president of the Women of Power Initiative (WOPI), a non-governmental organisation established to advance the cause of s*x work in Nigeria.

Although Nigeria has posted impressive economic growth, overtaking South Africa to become Africa’s largest economy unemployment remains widespread and many Nigerian women have ended up working as prostitutes in part because they cannot find work.

Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said in April that no fewer than 5.3 million youths are jobless, and the World Bank last year put the number of Nigerians living in destitution at 100 million.

Joblessness in Nigeria is something else, so we would blame the government for their choice of job as usual. 

See Gobe: Nigerian Doctor Who Treated Ebola Patient Infected With The Virus

Health Minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu has made it known that a doctor in Lagos has contracted the deadly Ebola disease.

Vanguard reports that the Health Minister revealed that the Lagos doctor who attended to and treated the Liberian Ebola victim in Lagos has contracted the deadly virus.

The Minister also said that eight persons that had first degree contact with the Liberian before he got to the hospital had also been quarantined and are under strict observation.
