A fresh case of Ebola virus disease has been recorded in Nigeria. One of the doctors that attended to the Liberian, Patrick Sawyler, tested positive to the virus. Result of the second doctor who was symptomatic is being awaited — this the Minister of Health said would be made public on Monday afternoon. At least 70 of those that also travelled along with the Liberian are under surveillance. Eight are already under quarantine. Airlines have also been directed not to bring back dead bodies from countries with Ebola virus.

Besides, the government has also set up six member treatment and research committee as part of the efforts to contain the disease.

Pictured above is a proud Nigerian prostitute named Patoo Abraham who led a protest for sex workers' 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 sex 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 sex vendors suffer physical harm at the hands of their punters. Continue... 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 ...

*Genera Buhari Never Did! For the record and your information, I, the author am definitely never PDP, but I am not APC either. I will only support the best human beings from whichever party they emanate. I am totally not a political animal; I am averse to democratic politics. The only party I ascribe to as yet and have invested thought and finance in is SNP. So for those taken to lies and slander, you can call me a paid whatever and APC author all you care, you will know deep inside that you do not even succeed in fooling yourself. My people, have never been in power, and I do not care and ever see power coming to my people. Now let’s proceed. There are several important points to be presented here. Best highlighted: 1.

It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita who actually said Nigeria would be ungovernable if Jonathan became president in 2011.  3. It wa...

The war between Israel and Palestine has entered Day 28 and what's happening there is sickening. Over half a million people in Gaza city have been rendered homeless  with 270,000 crammed into 90 crowded UN shelters, some of which have had no running water and electricity.  At least 1,700 Palestinians have been killed while 69 Israelis have been killed. Shelters full of children in Gaza have been bombed, medical supplies have run out, many hospitals damaged and medics are unable to go to work. Many UN facilities sheltering displayed Palestinians, especially women and children have been hit, killing so many little children in the city. The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been going on for decades but this particular one started on July 17th after Gaza attacked Israel with rockets following failed peace negotiations. Israel replied with both air and ground invasion of Gaza City....and the world is just watching. Above is a new born baby - with hospital ta...

PORT HARCOURT— Leader of Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, has denied allegation that he masterminded the bombing in Kaduna that almost killed former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) According to Vanguard , Asari, who spoke in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, said the allegation was part of a ploy by those behind the attack to rubbish him ahead of the 2015 general elections. Speaking through the national chairman of his group, Aladiokuma Hart, Asari alleged that the same group behind the allegation masterminded his arrest in Benin Republic because of the coming general polls. Challenging those behind the allegation to substantiate their claim, Asari said he was sure the same persons organised the bomb blast with an intention to score what he termed cheap political goals. The government said: “We want to categorically state that anybody carrying this sort of rumour should be ready to stand and testify when called upon with facts a...
