Family Abandons Lassa Fever Victim’s Corpse In National Hospital.

National-Hospital-Abuja

The corpse of the patient that died of Lassa fever two weeks ago, is still at the National Hospital in Abuja and is yet to be buried.

A source in the hospital told The PUNCH that the family might have abandoned the corpse “because of the manner of the death.”

The 33-year-old newly-married man lived in Jos, Plateau State, but came to see a relative in Kubwa because of his illness. He, however, died within 24 hours of admission at the National Hospital, Abuja.

An employee who pleaded anonymity said:

“The information we got was that the family of the deceased patient are scared that they may contract the disease in the process of the burial. Several calls have been put to them but it seems they are not convinced. A lot of work should be done by enlightening them that the body has been decontaminated and is therefore safe and harmless.”

When contacted, the spokesperson for the National Hospital, Dr. Tayo Haastrup, said the hospital management had been waiting on the Federal Ministry of Health to give proper advice and directive concerning the corpse.

“Nobody is running. Our doctors, nurses and medical staff in the Accident and Emergency Department are prepared for any suspected cases of Lassa fever. We are prepared and there is no cause for alarm. All the kits are available.

“The corpse of the dead patient was well bagged as usual and cannot contaminate anybody. We have informed the Federal Ministry of Health. The ministry, through the Director, Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, Prof. Abdulsalami Nasidi, should advise us appropriately on it. We are waiting for the directive of the ministry.”

However, when contacted, Nasidi told the publication that the family of the dead patient had yet to come and claim it but did not explain why it was so.

The NCDC boss also ruled out cremation of the corpse simply because the death was as a result of Lassa fever.

I Am Still Searching For Love, Says Toke Makinwa Ahead of Valentine 2016

toke67 (1)Nigerian OAP, Toke Makinwa has just made a rather startling revelation on Twitter.

The turn-up queen responded to a fan’s question and declared she’s still searching for love.

Here’s why her response is surprising:

  1. Toke Makinwa secretly got married to fitness coach, Maje Ayida in January 2014.
  2. 18 months after (June 2015), the marriage suffered a huge setback when news broke that her hubby had impregnated his ex-lover.
  3. Efforts by Maje to apologize to Toke proved abortive
  4. Then in November 2015, Maje sent loving messages to Toke to celebrate her 31st birthday
  5. In December 2015, the duo surprisingly stepped out together at the 10th edition of the Future Awards ceremony which led her fans to believe that she’s worked out her marital issues with Maje.

Now, she’s just declared herself ‘still searching’ with the tweet below…toks

Does this mean that all is still not well with the marriage despite stepping out together last December?

Kim Kardashian Reveals North West Hates It When She Breastfeeds Saint.

kim-kardashian-saint

Controversial reality TV star/Mother of two, Kim Kardashian has talked about breastfeeding her newborn son, Saint, revealing she initially found it difficult.

She also disclosed that Saint’s big sister, North doesn’t like it when she breastfeeds.

Writing on her website, Kim admitted:

“I’m about 2 months into breastfeeding and I’m not gonna lie – it can be time-consuming. “For some reason, North hates when I feed the baby, and she lays on my lap so Saint can’t be right in front of me to eat, LOL!

I’ve started to include her: Sometimes I will pump and have her feed him the bottle. That totally worked! She loved helping me, as opposed to my attention being off of her, and now she is my little helper.””I feel super lucky that breastfeeding is easy for me and I produce a lot of milk – so much that I’ve taken over my mom’s freezer with tons of milk!”

The reality TV Star then explained that using a nipple shield made breastfeeding so much easier for her.

“I find the baby feeds better, and it allows me to never get irritated nipples or anything because they’re protected by the shield. The hospital suggested shields to me, since at the beginning I found nursing super painful and difficult, so I took some home and never looked back.”

On breastfeeding in public, she wrote:

Now that I’m a mom, I say whatever makes you comfortable goes. I still personally wouldn’t breastfeed at a restaurant with a bunch of people I didn’t know staring at me.

I’ve seen this before and remember tweeting how shocked I was. Now that I’m a mom, I’m not that shocked, especially if you have a few kids and can’t leave to breastfeed one kid in the bathroom while leaving the others at the table,” she wrote.

“But I still personally wouldn’t do it, unless it was an emergency situation and I was fully covered. I would however breastfeed in front of my girlfriends. I think it’s such a natural experience and I’m not shy about that.”

Is Vladimir Putin Secretly The World’s Richest Man?

Vladimir-Putin-and-his-wife-Ludmilla

16 years after he was first elected, 63 year old Vladimir Putin’s just might secretly be the world’s richest man.

In April, Putin declared 2014 income of 7.65 million roubles ($119,000). He listed the ownership of two modest apartments and a share in a car parking garage. .BBC spoke to a number of former Kremlin insiders.

From their exiles around the world, they allege he is indeed the richest.

Sergei Kolesnikov told the programme he worked for the Kremlin to collect money from the super-rich, which they believed was to be spent on healthcare, but which was ultimately used “to help build a $1 billion palace for Mr Putin on the Black Sea coast”.

Mr Kolesnikov was also allegedly filmed discussing Mr Putin’s secret fortune – investments of up to $440 million – with another Kremlin insider.

Putins-palace

Sergei Pugachev, an exiled oligarch who says he helped Mr Putin become president, told the BBC he was:

“preoccupied with wealth from the start”. He said he visited one of the presidential palaces with Mr Putin during his first term. “We talked about it, he didn’t hide it, he knew he wanted to leave office a wealthy man,” he said

Adam Szubin, acting Treasury secretary for terrorism and financial crimes, said in an interview with BBC Panorama that the Russian president has been amassing secret wealth.

He declined to comment on a 2007 CIA report estimating Putin’s wealth at $40 billion, but he said the Russian leader’s stated wealth is an underestimation.

“He supposedly draws a state salary of something like $110,000 a year,” Szubin said. “That is not an accurate statement of the man’s wealth, and he has longtime training and practices in terms of how to mask his actual wealth.”

Russian political analyst Stanislav Belkovsky told the BBC he had information from “confidential sources” to also put Mr Putin’s wealth at “$40bn in assets”. He said:

“I’m still sure Putin is the richest man in Europe, one of the richest men in the world.”

putin-yacht

Putin and his cronies dismiss all claims of his reported wealth and corruption as “pure fiction”. The line from Putin himself is:

“I am the wealthiest man not just in Europe but in the world. I collect emotions. I am wealthy in that the Russian people have twice entrusted me with leadership of a great nation.”

Unofficial sources have put his net-worth in 2015 in the range of $100 Billion making him the richest man in the world at this point.

Vladimir Putin’s Net Worth is the highest among his peers making him the richest president in the world and also the richest politician of them all.

“Nigerians Should Be Ready For More Shocking Corruption Reports” – Lai Mohammed.

Lai Mohammed

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has disclosed that Nigerians should be prepared for more shocking revelations on corruption, which are yet to be released.

The Minister raised the alarm that treasury looters had resorted to fighting back, using various means.

Speaking to chiefs of newspapers on Tuesday, he is quoted as saying:

“When I met with the news and political editors in Lagos on Sunday, I said, among other things, that the government is aware that in fighting corruption, corruption will also fight back.

“I also said that those who stole us dry are powerful. They have newspapers, radio and television stations as well as online platforms, and an army of supporters to continuously deride the government’s war against corruption.”Well, I can tell you today that corruption is already fighting back, and it is fighting hard and dirty.

When we make subsequent revelations, you will be more shocked than you are now.”

Sponsored articles have started appearing in the newspapers and in the social media while ‘Talking Heads’ have started making the rounds in the electronic media, all deriding the fight against corruption as well as this Administration. Not stopping there, they have been creating distractions by sponsoring articles in both local and international media to deride the Administration’s policies generally, tag the President a budding dictator and even write off his 2016 budget. We know that the sole purpose of these attacks is to distract attention from the war on corruption.

“It is saddening that some otherwise credible voices have unwittingly allowed themselves to be railroaded into the bandwagon of pro-corruption orchestra. They engage in sophistry to try to rally Nigerians against the anti-corruption battle.

“Also, one of those who benefited from the Dasukigate even had the temerity to deride the anti-corruption war as ‘selective’, when in saner climes he should have been so ashamed of himself that he would have apologised to the nation and hunkered down…for good. These sponsored attacks are not about to stop. In fact, they will become more intense and more coordinated in the days ahead. But the good news is that we are winning the war. Nigerians are now talking more about corruption. Nigerians are now counting the cost of corruption to their lives.

“We call on Nigerians not to be taken in by the antics of the sponsored denunciation of the anti-graft war. The treasury looters, who have so much resources in their kitty, and their cohorts will throw everything but the kitchen sink at this Administration, But we have no doubt that Nigerians are discerning enough to know the truth which, in the words of President Muhammadu Buhari, is that unless Nigeria kills corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.

“This Administration will neither be distracted nor intimidated by anyone into abandoning or weakening the fight against corruption, which is a war of survival for our nation. No amount of media or other attacks will stop the fight. The pseudo-analysts and hack writers will labour in vain in heir quest to stop the train of this anti-corruption fight.”

The minister said the information on corruption was meant to sensitise the nation on the evil of corruption.

“Let me restate, for emphasis, that when we give instances of mind-boggling acts of corruption, our intention is not to vilify anyone but to sensitise Nigerians as to how harmful corruption is to the country and the people. The truth is that what we have revealed so far is nothing but the tip of the iceberg. Nigerians should stay tuned for more shocking revelations in the days ahead.”

For those doubting the allegations, the minister said they should investigate the information he provided to know if it was true or not.

He added:

“Do you know that What has so far been revealed as per taking in the Dasukigate is about N54.8billion Whereas, in the entire 2015 all the zonal intervention act cost N52 billion. This is the cost of corruption for you.

When the money meant to construct roads is looted, the end result is that the roads are not built and the people suffer and even die in avoidable road accidents. When the money meant to provide electricity is looted, we all are perpetually sentenced to darkness. When the money meant for healthcare is pocketed by a few, we are unable to reduce maternal and infant mortality. These are the costs of corruption. Let us not just talk about corruption in the abstract, let us be counting its cost to our lives in order to drive home the point that corruption must be tackled decisively for Nigerians to feel the impact of governance.”

The government has been criticized for disobeying court orders or trampling on the rights of accused people. Mohammed disagreed.

He said:

“What are we even talking about? Is the human right of the 55 persons more important than human rights of 170 Nigerians? But again, let me make it clear that we do not disobey court orders”.

When prodded to provide information on the 55 persons, he said the easiest way is to go to the court or the EFCC to find out who they are as they all have one pending case or the other in the court bordering on corruption.

Binta Diamond Accuses Wizkid of Abandoning Their newborn Baby

Yesterday, we reported that Wizkid’s camp confirmed the news of his baby with American-Guinean vixen Binta Diamond when they were reached for comment, but the new mum is already leveling accusations against the ‘Ayo’ singer.

image-8-1

In an interview with The Shade Room, Binta speaks out for the first time since the news of her child with Wizkid surfaced on social media, accusing him of abandoning their child.

The new mum said they started dating right after he had a child with Oluwanishola Ogudugu and they were together on-and-off for two years.

In 2015, she became pregnant and Wizkid promised to take responsibility and embrace being a dad, but since the birth of their son Ayodeji Ibrahim, the singer has refused to meet his son and has cut off all contact with her, hence why she is reaching out through the media. All she wants of him, she told The Shade Room, is “to step up and be a man about his responsibilities.”

Meanwhile, here’s Wizkid’s tweet yesterday:

What Bovi Said About His Late Mum 3 Months Ago

bovi-mother-birthday1

Comedian, Bovi lost his mum, Madam Margaret Ugboma to the cold hands of death on Monday January 25, 2016 at the age of 58.

Before her death, Late Madam Margaret had a good relationship with her son, Bovi. Over time, he’s celebrated her a number of times on his social media pages.

Just 3 months ago, on her birthday, Bovi shared her photos as he wrote:

bovio

‘Still celebrating my dear mum. I’ve searched all day for the right words to describe how I feel and the more I try, the more I feel like crying. I cherish everything she’s taught me but one I am forever grateful is the habit of reading.

‘She would say “don’t worry, when you grow up and have a house of your own, you can watch tv all you like”. Little did she know that I was watching tv because I was trying to figure how to get in it. Well the good thing is the reading she insisted on taught me how to get in the TV. She started me off with pacesetters.

‘And then gave me an unsteady supply of James Hadley Chase. But she forbade me touching her mills and boon (romance and temptation). She also tried to stop me from reading Hints magazine. And that’s what got me curious. ( if only she knew, she would have called it mathematics by hints- I’ve always hated mathematics) Oh well, I don’t know how to end this story…. Maybe it’s because we’re nowhere near the end of it afterall’.

Comedian Bovi’s Mother Dies at 58

bovi-mother-birthday1

It’s a very sad time for popular comedian Bovi Ugboma. According to reports, the 36-year-old funny man’s mother, Margaret Ugboma, tragically passed away on Monday.

The cause of her death is still unknown.

The news was made public by fellow comedian Basketmouth on Instagram as he penned a condolence message to Bovi.

He shared a photo of Bovi’s mother with the message: ”It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them. @officialbovi your mum is in a better place. Stay strong.
I love you bro”.

Just last year, Bovi celebrated his mother on her birthday on Instagram, calling her the love of his life.

The comedian is however yet to make an official statement about the death of his mother. She was 58 years old.

May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Lagos Bans Parties, Social Functions in Public Schools

_87578908_12b78e44-c363-4e89-8291-8ca26971b77a

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday said it would no longer allow social functions and parties in public schools just as owners of private schools across the state have been warned to comply with rules and regulations guiding their operations.

The Deputy Governor of the State, Dr. Mrs Idiat Oluranti Adebule who disclosed this while briefing the media on the strategic focus of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration on education for 2016, said the Governor had directed that schools should no longer be used for social functions.

She said:

“The Governor has directed that schools will no longer be used for social activities any longer. We want to implore members of the public to report any school that violates this directive and we would ensure that defaulting schools are sanctioned accordingly.”

Adebule, who also oversees the Ministry of Education, said the state government was putting a searchlight on the standard of education in the private schools, saying it will no longer be business as usual for such schools that undermine best practices.

She said as a first step, the government will engage with private school owners and proprietors to intimate them on the action plan of the present administration towards improving the standard of education, saying that though government is willing to partner with private schools, they must also be willing to adhere strictly to the acceptable standard.

“Much as private schools are partners in the sector, we would not fold our hands and watch the standard flopped. Some schools even operate without registering with the government. We want to urge such schools to do the right thing or government will have no choice but to do what it has to do,” she said.

Earlier, Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr. Obafela Bank-Olemoh, while giving a detailed presentation on the policy thrust of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration for the education sector, said the state government intends to construct the biggest digital library.

He said the government was already at the planning stage of the library, while the actual establishment of the project would commence in the next quarter of the year.
He said the state government will build 10 new model schools with state of the art facilities, while two new technical colleges will be built in the course of the year in areas where such facilities are urgently needed.
On the Ibile Tablets, Bank Olemoh said 324,000 tablets to Senior Secondary School students, adding that plans have been concluded to register all students in both public and private schools in the state under the Lagos State Student Personal Administration Number (LASPIN) project to aid proper planning.

On the free meal in schools project, he said the state government is currently perfecting its framework for the eventual take off, saying that the project is expected to on the one hand, enhance the learning capacity of the pupils and on the other, boost the economy of the state.

FALSE: Eritrea orders men to marry two wives or be jailed

UPDATED:YabaLeftOnline has found that reports that the Eritrean government issued a decree requiring all men to marry two women, or face imprisonment, are completely FALSE.

This story was published by several African media organizations.

SaharaReporters, a reputable media organization, had conversations with experts and Eritrean government representatives on Wednesday, and now understands the reports which originated on social media, and later became extremely popular, is a false rumor. The rumor later found its way to news websites in Nigeria and across Africa.

On Wednesday morning, an Eritrean government representative attached to the Eritrean Mission at the United Nations in New York denied the rumor, and expressed frustration that hoax had gained the traction it had.

Also speaking an Eritrean expert Awet Weldemichael, an Assistant Professor at Queen’s University in Canada, stated that he believed the reports were fictitious and “started as a joke” online.

Mr. Weldemichael added that “I have not seen, read, or heard anything credible which would confirm the story.”

“I think it [such a decree] is in the realm of the improbable or impossible,” Mr. Weldemichael said.

According to the false reports, the primary justification for the mandatory marriage was intended to fill the population gap in the country following the Eritrean war for independence in 1991 and the Eritrean-Ethiopian war between 1998 and 2000.

Mr. Weldemichael, however, dismissed the notion that the Eritrean government would solve this supposed “population gap” with a decree forcing all Eritreans to engage in polygamy. In fact, the academic argued, the population of Eritrea has actually increased substantially since the war.

Mr. Weldemichael also stated “if you read [the reports] closely they have no basis in Eritrean tradition, which is almost half-Muslim and half-Christian” and that Eritreans are cognizant of the diverse “belief systems which do not always allow multiple wives.”

Dead bodies discovered under foundation of popular church in Enugu

Church-Foundation

The strange discovery of dead bodies discovered buried in shallow graves under the foundation of a popular church located at the Ugwuaji area along the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Enugu State, has caused serious outrage with residents vowing to lynch the General Overseer of the church who is now on the run.

The corpses were found buried under the foundation of the church building, totally covered with concrete.

It was learnt that the construction of the building which commenced recently, and was at the foundation level before the gory discovery Monday, by one of the workers at the site who heard about the incident and discretely informed security agents who stormed the place and supervised the exhumation of the decomposing corpses.

The strange discovery was said to have attracted several passersby and motorists plying the road to the scene, as members of the public wept openly and blamed the quest for money and membership as the factors that could have led to the act, calling on the security agents to do everything possible to fish out the perpetrators of the act, who they suspected could be ritualists.

Church-Foundation-2

Some residents of the neighbourhood however, alleged that the building believed to be a proposed place of worship, belonged to a ritualist who disguised to be a man of God.

The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ebere Amaraizu, has confirmed the incident, adding that the corpses were recovered from the site following a tip-off.

“On information, three decomposing bodies were discovered and full scale investigations have commenced with a view to unmasking circumstances surrounding the incident.”

Catholic Priest claims God is female after he died and went to heaven..

father John

A Catholic priest from Massachusetts, America in a shocking revelation says God is a woman. 71 year old priest, Father John Micheal O’Neil was pronounced dead for 48 minutes before paramedics in what can only be described as a miracle restarted his heart.

Father John claims that he went to Heaven, met God and by his account, God is a ‘warm and comforting motherly figure’.

With the aid of a high-tech machine called LUCAS 2, blood kept flowing to his brain, doctors at the Massachusetts General Hospital unblocked his vital arteries and returned his heart to a normal rhythm.

The doctors initially, were afraid he had suffered a brain damage from the incident, but surprisingly he woke up less than 48 minutes later and was fit as a fiddle.

Father John claims he remembers very clearly what happened to him while he was dead. He describes a strange out-of-body experience, and says he experienced an intense feeling of unconditional love and acceptance, as well as being surrounded by an overwhelming light.

He claims that at that point in his experience, he went to heaven and met God, Who he describes as feminine, mother-like and “Being of Light”. He said:

“Her presence was both overwhelming and comforting” states the Catholic priest. “She had a soft and soothing voice and her presence was as reassuring as a mother’s embrace. The fact that God is a Holy Mother instead of a Holy Father doesn’t disturb me, she is everything I hoped she would be and even more!”

The declarations of the cleric has caused quite an uproar in the catholic clergy of the Archdiocese in the last few days, causing the Archbishop to summon a press conference to try and put the ‘rumours’ to bed.

Despite the disapproval of his superiors, Father O’Neil says that he will not stop dedicating his life to God and spread the word of the “Holy Mother”.

“I wish to continue preaching” says the elderly cleric. “I would like to share my new knowledge of the Mother, the Son and the Holy Ghost with all Catholics and even all Christians. God is great and almighty despite being a woman…”

Father John preaches at a Catholic Church in South Boston, and no press release or statement has been released as to whether he will be allowed to keep doing so.
