Being an only child, I was raised by my Mom to do all chores, so the issue of only the wife (woman) should cook, clean, wash might be alien to me but I know it is not to most men, which is why today I join my voice to the #HeForShe campaign and remind our men that #GenderEquality is not just in the workplace but at home. We can find a good balance between office work and house chores, especially during this lockdown period.I challenge my friends @bankywellington@Delemomoduovation@officialbovi@aycomedian@AlibabagcfrTo do the same and tag me @mofedamijo and @HeForShe using the hashtags #HeForShe #GenderEquality #HeForSheAtHome#HusbandMaterial We are in this together #RmdSaysSo,”

“Danfo to carry 8 passengers, BRT 21 passengers” – Lagos announces new transportation guidelines

The Lagos state government has announced new transportation guidelines in light of the gradual easing of the lockdown which will commence on the 4th of May, 2020.

As the partial ease of the lockdown by the Federal Government in Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja commences on Monday, May 4th, the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, stated that the new guidelines were proactive measures put in place by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to curtail a possible spread of the deadly virus among the commuting public through transportation activities when gradual ease of the lockdown commences.

Oladeinde explained that effective from Monday, 4th of May, all commercial and commuter operations within Lagos shall be between the hours of 6 am and 7 pm daily, asserting that it is mandatory for all commuters to wear nose covers, wash their hands with soap under running water and, thereafter, use alcohol-based sanitizers before and after each trip.

Announcing the immediate suspension of all inter-State operations and movements, the Commissioner mentioned that the decision was taken to effectively manage and control movement within the metropolis while measuring the level of success achieved with various strategies adopted by the State Government to control further spread of COVID-19.

He affirmed that the use of motorcycles, popularly called Okada, for commercial activities would not support the physical distancing rule as directed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), pointing out, therefore, that Okada operations are disallowed in any part of Lagos State at this period.

While warning public transport operators against any activity capable of undermining government efforts at eradicating the COVID-19 pandemic, Oladeinde disclosed that all transport operators and companies must compulsorily and regularly disinfect their vehicles, parks and garages while they are expected to collaborate with the State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources on the standard of disinfectants approved by the State Government for use.

The new transportation guidelines released are part of the continuous effort to curb the spread of the deadly Coronavirus in Lagos State. The government warns operators of various mechanic workshops to prevent security breaches in their environment, ensure that all abandoned vehicles within their premises are evacuated within the next one week and keep their surroundings clean.

The government warned that it would, through its Committee on the abandoned vehicles, enter any workshop that fails to comply and tow the vehicles away.

He also warned all commercial passenger vehicles not to exceed 60 per cent of their capacity at this crucial time, while physical distancing rule must be obeyed both at the parks and in the buses, maintaining that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Lagos Bus Services Ltd (LBSL) must not convey more than 21 passengers, must not permit standing in their buses and should keep the air-conditioning systems switched off always.

“In the same vein, yellow buses, popularly called ‘Danfo’, must not carry more than eight passengers (two on a row), tricycles are to carry just two passengers at the back, while private car owners must also observe the physical distancing,” Oladeinde stated.

Speaking on the activities of transporters involved in the disposal of medical wastes used at COVID-19 isolation centers, the Commissioner insisted that waste handlers must always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), dispose non-reusable ones and wash reusable ones immediately after each use.

In his remarks, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Mr. Toyin Fayinka, stated that enforcement of the new transportation guidelines will commence on Monday, 4th of May, 2020, urging motorists to obey the guidelines to avoid encounters with the Special Task Force made up of the Police, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), as well as Abandoned Vehicles and Parks Monitoring Committees.

Poor Widow Cooks Stones To Feed Her Hungry Children

A woman living in Mombasa, Kenya, has been cooking stones for her children since the outbreak of Coronavirus pandemic.

Prior to the lockdown in Kenya, the poor woman identified as Peninah Bahti Kitsao, worked as a local laundry woman. However, due to the subsequent lockdown, her customer base drastically dwindled and she could no longer raise enough money for feeding.

According to reports from BBC, Peninah said she always hoped her children will fall asleep while waiting for the meal (stones) to get ready.

Her neighbor, Prisca Momanyi, who was taken aback by the whole act, informed the media about the woman’s plight.

Fortunately, after being interviewed by NTV, the woman has been receiving help from people who made donations to her bank account after being touched by her story.

Peninah Bahti Kitsao said she could not believe people would come to her rescue the way they did, calling everything a big miracle.

Donate your buildings for use as Isolation centers – Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire appeals to Nigerians

Dr Osagie Ehanire, Nigeria’s Minister of Health, has appealed to Nigerians to donate their buildings to serve as isolation centres.

Worried by the increasing number of cases in the country, Ehanire made the appeal at a press conference in Abuja. He said although there are no shortage of bed spaces yet, he is making the appeal ahead of time so that the facilities will be readily available when they need to be used.

“I have appealed to citizens to make their property available temporarily for this purpose.

Two lorries transporting passengers hidden with livestock from Kano to Kaduna gets intercepted by security officials

Two lorries transporting passengers concealed among livestock from Kano State into Kaduna have been intercepted and turned back.

The lorries were said to have slipped through the security checks at the Kaduna-Kano border, sneaking in humans concealed behind livestock, motorcycles and other goods.

However, security officials at the border discovered the hidden human cargo and prevented the vehicles from entering the state.

“We got information that these lorries had come in from the Kaduna-Kano border and had progressed up to Gwargwaji in Zaria LGA.

“We then proceeded to nab them further along within the same local government,” Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said.

He added, “The passengers were cleverly concealed behind random goods, motorcycles and animals.

“Thankfully, once again we have got the better of them, and we have turned them back in compliance with the Kaduna State Government’s ban on inter-state travel.

“Operatives are actively enforcing the directives at all entry points, and passengers have similarly been intercepted from other routes and escorted out to the borders.”

Interstate travel has been banned in Nigeria as a measure to curb the spread of Coronavirus in Nigeria.

Footage shows mass graves being dug in Brazil as deaths surge due to Coronavirus (Photos)

Harrowing footage from a Brazilian city hit by the Coronavirus pandemic shows mass graves being dug as authorities struggle with the pandemic.

Manaus, in north-western Brazil, with a population of 1.7m, is continuing to bury bodies at an alarming rate as deaths surge due to the pandemic.

A cemetery in the city has seen a 500 per cent increase in the number of bodies it has to bury now compared with before the Covid-19 outbreak.

Aerial footage of the cemetery shows the scale of burials taking place in the region. Coffins arrive wrapped in plastic film to help stop the spread of the disease.

The surge of Covid-19 cases in Brazil is spawning fear that construction workers, truck drivers and tourists from Latin America’s biggest nation will spread the disease to neighbouring countries that are doing a better job of controlling the coronavirus.

The country’s borders remain open, there are virtually no quarantines or curfews and President Jair Bolsonaro continues to scoff at the seriousness of the disease.

When questioned about the number of Coronavirus victims in the country, Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, said he “doesn’t do miracles“.

What do you want me to do?” he asked. “I am Messias (his full name is Jair Messias Bolsonaro), but I don’t do miracles.

There have been at least 79,361 confirmed coronavirus cases in Brazil, with 5,511 deaths.

Earlier this week, it was reported cases of Covid-19 are overwhelming hospitals, morgues and cemeteries across Brazil as the country veers closer to becoming one of the world’s pandemic hot spots.

At the main Taruma cemetery, a new area has been opened where undertakers were digging rows of graves and now just trenches for five coffins at a time.

The Taruma mayor’s office said the city’s funeral system was collapsing and running out of coffins.

In Rio de Janeiro, cemeteries have accelerated construction of above-ground vaults to entomb deceased patients.

Undertakers in Manaus even resorted to burying coffins one on top of the other this week, but the city stopped the practice after grieving relatives protested.

White woman dies mysteriously after summoning African spirit using voodoo despite warnings not to

A white lady has died mysteriously after she ignored warnings from social media users when she revealed her plans to dabble into voodoo and summon an African spirit known as Papa Legba.

Katelyn “Kat” Restin, a 19-year-old lady from Virginia, was found dead after she allegedly drowned in a bathtub according to one of her friends. People are blaming her death on her practicing Haitian Vodou summoning spells.

Restin died two days after she claimed that she saw Papa Legba apparently after a summoning spell people warned her not to try.

Papa Legba is one of the best known figures in African spirituality. He serves as an intermediary between man and the spirit world. Several movies have been made about him, including the American horror story “Coven“.

Kat Restin was part of a group on social media that practiced spells, and one day she decided to go into voodoo.

Twitter and Facebook users warned her not to try it but she insisted and said everyone should be allowed to practice whatever spirituality they want to practice.

She added: “Shut the f*** up and let me be.

Some of her friends also defended her decision.

Three weeks after the post, and other posts showing her practicing voodoo, she did a post stating she saw Papa Legba and added that she was “scared“.

Unfortunately, Kat Restin died two days later.

Someone in her group, who claims to commune with the spirits, stated that they did a reading on the late Kat Restin and it wasn’t Papa Legba she saw but another dreaded spirit, Baron Samedi.

Friends have taken to Twitter and Facebook to mourn Restin’s death. However, some said she doesn’t deserve their pity.

Restin’s obituary states that her cause of death was sudden.

The obituary reads,

“Katelyn is survived by her daughter Aaliyah Hope Restin, mother Terry Restin, father John Restin, brothers Kevin and Ryan (Blakely) Restin; aunts, Margaret Volk, Mary (Rick) Page, Betty (Joe) Aukward; Uncle, Eric (Susan) Restin, and many cousins and other relatives, all of who she loved and touched deeply.”

The family has set up a GoFundMe for Katelyn’s death.

Nigerian doctor in US leads major study on drug Remdesivir that appears to treat COVID-19 (WATCH)

A Nigerian doctor, Babafemi Taiwo is leading a major study on an antiviral drug named Remdesivir that appears to be effective in treating COVID-19.

CNN interviewed Dr Babafemi Taiwo to talk about the result of Remdesivir in treating Coronavirus. Preliminary results of Remdesivir show it can help hospitalized COVID-19 patients recover faster.

Though Remdesivir, an antiviral drug made by Gilead Sciences, appears to help patients with Coronavirus recover faster, it does not significantly reduce death, according to preliminary data from the National Institutes of Health.

“The data shows that Remdesivir has a clear cut, significant, positive effect in diminishing, the time of recovery,” the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr Anthony Fauci said during a meeting between president Trump and Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards.

Here’s a video of Dr Babafemi Taiwo speaking to CNN about the promising results of Remdesivir in treating COVID-19,
