| Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's marriage on the rocks? Posted: 20 Aug 2014 12:56 PM PDT   From Page Six Mariah Carey and comedian Nick Cannon are headed for a split and "living separately" after she hired security to keep him away from other women, sources exclusively told Page Six. Our sources tell us Carey and Cannon, the host of "America's Got Talent," are separating after six years of marriage. "He hasn't been staying at their home," one music insider tells Page Six. "He's been living out of hotels. They're fighting a lot." Another source told us Carey has suspected Cannon of cheating. And when the comic hosted pool parties in Las Vegas earlier this year, the diva dispatched a security guard to keep watch over her husband. "The security guard wasn't there to keep the girls away from him," said our source. "It was to keep him away from the girls." Carey also didn't want Cannon drinking while at the Vegas gigs because she felt he "gets in trouble when he drinks," the source added. | ||||

| That we may not forget – Dr Ameyo Adadevoh & Justina Ejelonu Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:39 AM PDT   There's a statue in Yaba, Lagos, of a man, whom many in Nigeria have forgotten. His family never have. And now, we all have a chance to remember him, and in a way, to honour him. He is the man on our one Naira coin. Herbert Olayinka Samuel Heelas Badmus Macaulay, had a daughter, Sarah Idowu Abigail, who would get married and give birth to a son, Babatunde Kwaku Adadevoh. Babatunde would grow up to become a doctor, and have kids of his own. One of these children, Stella Ameyo, became, like her father, a doctor. She would go on to work at a hospital in Obalende, Lagos, First Consultant Hospital, not very far from where her famous ancestor was once imprisoned by the British. Continue..  It was to be at that that place of work that Stella Ameyo was to perform an act that would save the lives of possibly hundreds of thousands, and sacrifice her own in return. On July 20, 2014, a patient was wheeled in from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. Patrick Sawyer, the patient, had shown signs of high fever during his flight from Monrovia, and was taken straight from the airport to the hospital. By the next day, his condition had deteriorated, and he was immediately placed under observation, while his blood sample was taken, and sent for tests. That same day, Mr. Sawyer insisted, with the help of officials of the Liberian Embassy, on being discharged. Stella Ameyo, as supervising doctor, stood her ground that he should not leave the hospital. It was at that point, while reinserting his needles, that she came in contact with him, and in effect signed her own death warrant. One of her junior colleagues, Justina Obi Ejelonu, who had the day before when Sawyer was brought in, helped in checking him, also assisted in placing him back in care. Like Stella Ameyo Adadevoh, Justina Obi Ejelonu, has passed away. There is no other word to describe the actions of both women, and indeed their entire facility. In preventing the escape of this patient who had insisted on leaving, in his condition, for Calabar, 750 kilometres away, both women saved countless lives. What if Mr. Sawyer had decided that the best way to go to Calabar was to go to Jibowu and take a bus? Even if he'd chosen to go by air, which would have made his fellow passengers that much easier to trace, the potential damage is incalculable. The most tragic part of the passing of both women is that they cannot even be buried decently, and with all the respect that their sacrifice demands. The very bug that cut them down is so virulent, so unforgiving, that even that honour, will be deprived them. The sacrifice that Dr. Adadevoh and Nurse Ejelonu have made is the highest form of sacrifice that any man, or woman, can make for his, or her, fellow human being. It is said that there is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friend. Both women, and their colleague, put their lives on the line for 170 million of their fellow citizens, many of whom do not even understand the concept of what it means to be a citizen. The very least that Nigeria can do in appreciation, is to honour them. I have a suggestion for such an honour, and not some meaningless title or coin which will soon fall out of use. Nigeria should declare August 19 each year a national holiday, and in the names of both women. That way, some Nigerian child in six decades can ask his parent, "Mummy, who is Stella Ameyo Adadevoh?" And the parent can reply, "That woman saved my life, and the lives of all of us". It is the least we can do. It is the least we should do. | ||||

| Uber makes its way to Nigeria...as Ice Prince becomes first Nigerian to ride in Uber Posted: 20 Aug 2014 04:49 AM PDT  There's that intangible 'something' about Lagos that makes it a place where anything and everything is possible, and starting today (Wednesday July 23, 2014) Uber launches its smartphone technology in Lagos, making it the fourth city in Africa to embrace the innovative on demand private driver application. A progressive culture with a very tech-savvy population, Lagos is the largest city in Africa and it was only a matter of time that Uber brought its technology to the market, offering a safe and reliable choice in transportation. Uber is a smartphone app that allows users to connect to licensed private drivers in the area at the touch of a button, using the phone's GPS to detect both the users and drivers' locations. This means the people of Lagos can get a safe, reliable ride anywhere — even if they don't know the exact address. Patrick Studener, Senior International Launcher at Uber said, "We're really excited to be launching Uber in Lagos today. Technology is allowing us to completely re-think the future of our cities and the way people get around them. Uber is already evolving the way the world moves and is being embraced by millions of people across the globe. Uber is part of a technology revolution that is transforming urban mobility which is creating the smart cities of the future. The people of Lagos now have a new way of getting around their city that is just a tap of an app away and is also stylish, safe and efficient." Ice Prince When it comes to cruising around the humming roads of Lagos, Ice Prince, one of the biggest & most influential hip hop artists in Nigeria, is no stranger to doing it comfortably and in style. That's why this morning when he woke up to a new dawn in the way he could get around his beloved city, he decided to push the button & within minutes a classy, safe, secure Uber rolled up to take him to his next recording session on the Island, and with that he became the first person in Lagos & all of Nigeria to ride in an Uber! What is UberBlack? UberBlack is one of many Uber products that connects riders with licensed drivers. Any person who needs a ride in Lagos has to download the free Uber app onto their smartphone to request a private-hire car at an affordable price, all in a matter of minutes. Before getting into the car you are given, via the smartphone app, the driver's photo, name, registration and at the end of the ride you get via email an overview of your ride including a GPS tracked overview of your exact trip. Uber partners with only the highest quality limousine professionals, and every car, driver, and trip is fully insured. All payments are done via the riders' credit cards, making the experience even more seamless. Uber is already present in over 140 cities in 40 countries. Lagos is the first city in Nigeria where Uber services have been launched. At the launch today, celebrity and multiple award winning music star Ice Prince test drive in Uber compliant car. He used the Uber application on his mobile phone to flagged in a Uber car, and he was chauffer-driven in it today in Lagos. To request a ride, users must download the free application for Android, iPhone, Blackberry 7, or sign up atuber.com/app. Uber is now just a tap of an app away for the people of Lagos What to expect when you request a ride:
