Veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mode-Damijo has called out Nigerian customs to release seized food items in their custody so that Nigerians can feed on them during this challenging period.

According to the 58 year old, the Federal Government should order the release of seized food items by Nigerian custom so that it will help to feed Nigerians in this critical period.

In his words;

“Sitting here wondering if this wont be a good time for government to ask Customs about all the plenty seized rice, tomato, vegetable oil and all the other food items they have in their possession and give out to our people in need.

Whilst thanking them for reduced fuel prices at this time (inject smiley face)and all the other efforts so far, food is a major part of this lock down. I know sometimes the agencies of govt dont work as a team but please this is the time for customs to step and tell us how much relief they can bring to nigerians.

Italian nurse murders his girlfriend for ‘infecting him with Coronavirus ‘

April 2, 2020

An Italian nurse allegedly strangled his doctor girlfriend to death because “she gave him Coronavirus.”

After committing the crime, 28-year-old Antonio De Pace reportedly called cops to tell them he had murdered young medic, Lorena Quaranta, 27.

When Police arrived at the scene, they found her dead in their apartment in Italy, while De Pace was found on the floor having cut his wrists but his colleagues were able to save his life at their hosiptal.

The young couple had been working in a local hospital in Messina, Sicily after they were drafted to help during the coronavirus crisis.

De Pace allegedly confessed: “I killed her because she gave me coronavirus.”

A police source said: “She was a doctor who was working hard to save others. It’s such a tragedy.”

The Sun reports that tests were being carried out on both, but it came back negative, meaning neither Lorena or De Pace had the virus.

Lorena had been very vocal on social media about the coronavirus outbreak.

In a Facebook post just days before her death Lorena wrote: “Now more than ever we need to demonstrate responsibility and love for life.

“You must show respect for yourselves, your families and the country.

”You must think and remember those that dedicate their lives daily to looking after our sick.

“Let’s stick together everyone staying at home. Let’s avoid the next one falling sick is a loved one or ourselves.”

Last month, her boyfriend posted a message congratulating her after she passed a test and said:

“To reach our dreams you have to work hard with determination and you are proof.

“I wish you to keep chasing your dreams, always live the life you always imagined. Well done!

A single mother-of-three attempted suicide by jumping into the Osun River in Osogbo, Osun State over her inability to continue providing for her children due to the lockdown

Kafayat Alake jumped into the river yesterday, April 1, a few hours after the state government imposed a stay-at-home order on residents of the state as part of measures to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus pandemic. She would have drowned, but for the timely intervention of some residents of Aregbesola area of Osogbo.

Alake’s strange movement on the bridge was said to have been noticed by some passersby. When she jumped, they quickly raised alarm and youths in the area trooped out, dived into the river and rescued the woman.

“We were somewhere around that place when the woman fell into the river. At first, we thought she slipped while walking on the bridge but we later discovered it was a suicide dive. While others were calling for help, I had to jump into the river before others joined me in rescuing her,” a resident said.

Alake, while being questioned by reporters after her rescue, said she hails from Alapaaro, Isale Osun, Osogbo. According to her, she has three children and she could not continue to fend for them due to her financial predicament.

She stated that her husband stays in Lagos adding that she got separated from her husband thirteen years ago.

The woman was later rushed to a nearby hospital by the O’Ambulance team of the state.

April 1, 2020

A Nigerian doctor has reportedly died of Lassa fever.

The deceased identified as Dzuana Vanen Philip got admitted into Benue State University after several years of applying for Medicine and Surgery at other universities. Phillip got inducted in 2019 and began his housemanship at Federal Medical Center, Makurdi.

According to the information gathered, Dzuana who was expected to complete his housemanship in 4 months time died in the early hours of Wednesday April 1, will be cremated in line with the National guide line for management of Lassa Fever patients.

A friend of the deceased, Aindigh Kamo Mark took to facebook to share ;

SO SAD WE LOST HIM.

Dr. Dzuana Vanen Philip was a very intelligent, careful and meticulous doctor. He graduated from the prestigious Mount St. Gabriel’s Secondary School, Makurdi in 2004 with a fantastic result from both WAEC and NECO. He wrote UTME many times applying for medicine and surgery at Uni Jos, ABU and Maiduguri. He rejected many admission offers and insisted his calling was in medicine. He finally got admitted on merit list in 2009 at BSU to read medicine and surgery. While in medical school he demonstrated a high level of maturity, intelligence, academic resilience, discipline and diligence.

Dr. Dzuana will be remembered for his selflessness and humility in his daily interaction with course mates and colleagues. He graduated in 2019(10years school duration) after a protracted stay in medical school ocassioned by lack of accreditation at BSU. He was inducted in the middle of 2019 and started housemanship at FMC Mkd, where he has been for the last 8 months. With just 4 months away from the end of housemanship, Dr. Dzuana took ill and was later confirmed to have contracted Lassa Fever, was initially managed at BSUTH but was later transferred to Irrua Specialist Hospital where he had two sessions dialysis on account of kidney failure.

He finally gave up in the early hours of Wednesday 1st April, 2020. Sadly he will not be buried at his ancestral home. He will be cremated in line with the National guide line for management of Lassa Fever patients.

At this very difficult moment when the world is battling with a Pandemic (Covid 19), we still have with us the likes of Lassa and other tropical illnesses ravaging us. God console us and Grant the soul of Dr. Dzuana eternal rest.

Man lands heavy slap on soldier for punishing him then runs away amid Coronavirus lockdown (Watch)

April 1, 2020

As expected, the lockdown ordered by the government of many countries has given rise to so many situations that’s far from the normal lifestyle of the human race… from workers working from home, to students learning online et al, the lockdown to curb the spread of the Covid-19 is definitely history being made.

However, the lockdown has also given rise to some really hilarious situations as local authorities try their best to wade off rebellious citizens who disobey the order of the lockdown.

There’s been series of videos on the internet of local authorities dealing with stubborn citizens seen on the roads and not observing the lockdown – the videos are usually portrayed as hilarious due to how the stubborn citizens are being dealt with.

But in the case of this video which has since gone viral, a citizen is seen landing a heavy slap on an officer who was flogging him ruthlessly on the road.

Although, the reason why the man and two other men were being punished by the official is kinda sketchy, it shouldn’t be unconnected to the possibility of them not observing the lockdown.

The said man, after landing a slap on the officer took to his heels after the soldier cocked his gun and pushed back when he was slapped.

A Facebook user Abdul Waris shared that the incident took place in Old-Tafo (3 miles Gee Junction), a suburb of Kumasi amid a Coronavirus lockdown.

Good morning my Family, friends and Fans. I have something very important to tell you and I will really appreciate your audience. I am very disappointed that someone somewhere will try to tarnish my image and threaten to destroy my career of over 45 years. This morning, I received messages from somebody threatening to expose very old pictures of me and in the process, blackmailing me for money.

These could’ve been pictures of me in the hospital or even with my partner, but is this what has become of us?? I plead with everybody out there to be very careful as our current situation has made people very desperate. I am almost 60 years old, I have worked very hard and made a name for myself for somebody to believe that they can threaten and trample on my feelings, this is very sad.

So I have decided to share the messages and pictures sent by this person with everyone for you all to see! Thank you and God bless you! For you the blackmailer, I refuse to be bullied by you as I’m sure that I’m old enough to be your MOTHER!!

Over the past few days, fans and followers of Nigerian singing sensation, Davido had pressured the singer to redo his Covid-19 test after his fiance, Chioma and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, whom he had close contacts with, tested positive to the virus.

After announcing earlier that the mother of his son tested positive to the virus, netizens were unconvinced that his own result was negative because he had close contacts with her at a party few days back and as such, asked the singer to redo the test.

The pressure became even more when Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde revealed that he’s tested positive for the virus and coincidentally too, Davido had had contact with him prior to the test.

Now the singer has finally revealed that he has redone the test and yet again, his result came out negative. He took to his Twitter page moments ago to give the announcement, writing,

I did a second test for the covid19 virus again …. once again I’m Negative ….

A woman has shared a video showing what it’s like to get tested for coronavirus.

In the video, the woman is seen grimacing in pain as a medic inserted a long plastic stick with a small cotton bud on the end into her nose to take a nasal swab. The medic keeps pushing the stick in until it brushes the back of the patient’s upper throat and it seemed like an uncomfortable procedure as the patient’s face was contorted in pain.

She was made to breathe through her mouth for a while since she couldn’t breathe through her nose as the stick was left in there for some seconds.

After a while, the medic is seen pulling the stick out and this elicited a groan from the patient.

When asked how painful the test was, the patient @PanamaRedin said: “Unbelievable! You actually feel like they rip your membrane.”

The Governor, in a telephone interview on Fresh FM on Tuesday March 31, said he never doubted the existence of Coronavirus even though he joked about it.

He said;

“Okay, first, you know we had a rally, I believe two weeks ago and then I have seen the video that has been circulating on social media which is being misinterpreted to mean that, I doubted at any time, the existence of COVID-19. The reality is no, I actually never did.

“I had used COVID-19 in the same metaphorical way that their APC leader did when they were fighting about their chairmanship and he said, well, the virus has gotten into the party.

“So, I made a joke out of it and the video has been circulating that I said there is no coronavirus, that it only exists in the APC. Well, it was a metaphor.

“But to the good people of Oyo State, I want to say again: COVID-19 is real. So, they must follow all the measures government has put in place to prevent, contain and control this virus.”

The National Coordinator, Nigeria Sex Workers Association, Amaka Enemo, says s3x workers in the country have been forced to suspend activities, especially in Lagos and Abuja, due to the lockdown to check the spread of COVID-19.

Enemo told PUNCH on Tuesday that although sex workers offer “essential services” they would remain indoors because their services involve “substantial bodily contact”.

She said the association had been able to sensitise its members to the dangers of COVID-19.

She said, “There is sensitisation across the country, including within our network. Sex workers also offer essential services. However, there is no way sex workers can do their work without body contact. So, they are staying at home to watch what happens.

“The government has announced a lockdown and as law-abiding citizens, we will not flout the law. If the government says sit at home, we will all obey because nobody wants to die.

Ndidi Nwosu, who was Nigeria’s Powerlifting Gold medalist at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, is dead.

Brilla FM reports that she died in Owerri Imo state on March 1, 2020, following complications arising from a lung infection.

The news was broken by former President of the Nigeria Powerlifting Federation, Ms Queen Uboh.

Ms Uboh said ;

“Ndidi sustained an injury from the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. She was a heavyweight powerlifter.

I had actually assisted by paying for two of the surgeries she had in Owerri but after the surgery, she was never the same again.

She had been off and on in the hospital and that was why she couldn’t take part in this last World Cup. Even before she died, she appeared to me in the dream.

She told me not to leave her family and that I was still her mummy despite not being the Powerlifting President anymore.

So when the husband called me to inform me of her passing, I knew already because she had appeared to me in the dream”

Nwosu, who also won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia, was also a world record holder which she set in Australia after lifting 120kg as well and set a new record at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio De Janeiro after she won Gold in her category.
