Pres. Jonathan condemns stigmatiation of Nigerians over Ebola

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 12:11 PM PDT

Find the State House press below...
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Wednesday in Abuja condemned the stigmatization of Nigerians by some countries over recent cases of the Ebola Virus Disease in the country.

Speaking at a meeting with Mr. David Navarro, a Special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General, President Jonathan particularly denounced discriminatory actions such as that which forced Nigeria's team to the Youth Olympics in China to abandon its participation.

Noting that there was no justification for such stigmatization of Nigerians since the Ebola Virus Disease had been effectively  contained in the country and never attained epidemic levels, the President called for the cessation of discriminatory actions against Nigerians over the virus and urged the UN Secretary General, Mr.  Ban Ki Moon  to support the call.

Responding to the Secretary General's commendation of Nigeria's management of the threat of Ebola, President Jonathan praised the Federal Ministry of Health, the Lagos State Government and all Nigerians for the success achieved so far in containing the virus and avoiding a national epidemic.

"All hands have been on deck to contain the virus here. I commend my team and the Lagos State Government. We have been able to set politics aside and work in unison to deal with a national threat.

"All other Nigerians have played a part too by complying with the directives and advice we have issued to stop the virus from spreading any further. The success we have had is a testimony to what we can achieve as people if we set aside our differences and work together," he told Mr. Navarro.

The President assured the Special Envoy that in spite of the seeming  success of  its containment measures, the Federal Government and its agencies will remain vigilant to guard against further cases of Ebola in the country.

"We will continue to monitor the situation and we will also support other affected African countries as much as we can because we cannot be completely safe from the virus as long as it continues to ravage some countries in our sub-region and continent. We will continue to work with the international community to curb the outbreak in other countries," President Jonathan pledged.

Mr. Navarro who  had visited Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, the countries worst hit by Ebola before coming to Nigeria, told the President that he had come, on the instruction of the UN Secretary-General, to applaud Nigeria's successful containment of the virus.

"The Secretary-General asked me to come here too, not because you have an Ebola problem, but because you have tackled it in an exemplary fashion.

"Your personal leadership on the matter has been key. There may still be some work to be done before the virus is completely cleared out from here, but other countries can learn from your fine example," Mr. Navarro told the President.

Have y'all heard? Beyonce and Jay Z are expecting baby No.2

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 12:26 PM PDT

Of course I'm just being sarcastic. They are no longer divorcing, now they are expecting a baby? According to Us Weekly, Jay Z and Beyonce are expecting their second baby. They even claim Jay Z has officially announced it to his staff. Really?
He's informed their entire entourage that they need to use relaxed voices, mellow lighting, and listen only to soft music, and he's said that all of the food Beyonce's eat should be organic. He's really doing his best to make sure that she's as comfortable and healthy as possible

‘I’m a fashion Icon’ – KCee reacts to fashion critics

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 09:55 AM PDT

In an interview with TheNETng, Limpopo crooner, Kcee reacted to criticisms by some fans regarding his style. Kcee says he's a fashion icon & those who criticize him don't know anything about fashion
"As far as I'm concerned those that are talking about my dress sense don't even know what fashion is all about, they just want to talk, and as a celebrity, people just want to pick on you and say whatever they like. For those that know me very well, if there's anything that I can boast of, it's fashion, I don't joke with it. Most of these talks actually started from pictures I posted on Instagram, and really I got the buzz I needed at that time, so I even went on to post more pictures so people would talk more, and guess what, my followers have increased drastically with all these fashion talks. I don't even respond to them, I don't take it serious, I'm happy and making more money, so I'm not loosing anything. If you come to my wardrobe you'll know what I'm saying, I'm a fashion icon
...and I can brag about it. Sometimes there are some things you can't brag about, but for me I can brag about fashion, I don't have a problem with my fashion sense" he said Kcee says he does not have a stylist as he does all his styling himself 'I don't have a stylist, I style myself. These same set of people that talk negatively about a certain outfit would commend me on another one, so I just see them as confused people. The truth is I don't get angry at them, rather I get inspired' he said

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 07:03 AM PDT

26 year old Kingsley Nwabueze (pictured above) has been arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Criminal Investigative Department for stealing and absconding with his boss's Infinity FX 35 SUV valued at N6.5 million, less than three months after he was employed. Continue...



According to reports by Tribune, on April 10th this year, Kingsley drove his boss, Abosede Olubiyi, in her newly acquired Infinity FX 35 SUV to an appointment in Yaba, Lagos. When they got to their destination, the woman told Kingsley to find a place to park the car as there was no parking space in front of the building they were going to. The lady came down from the car and went for her appointment and that was the last time she saw Kingsley and her car.

The matter was immediately reported to the Lagos State Police command. In the course of their investigation, the police arrested a friend of Kingsley who they used as a bait to get him out of his hideout. The friend cooperated with the police and Nwabueze was traced to Imo State.

After some persuasion from his friend who lied to him that he had a very lucrative business for him, Kingsley appeared in Port Harcourt, where he was arrested.

Kingsley has since confessed to stealing his boss's car, saying that he had already put it up for sale at an Autoshop in Aba, Abia state.

Shocking moment 9year old girl accidentally kills instructor with gun during shooting lesson

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 04:20 AM PDT

What does a 9 year old girl need shooting lessons for? A 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally shot and killed her instructor at Last Stop gun range in White Hills, Arizona on Monday Aug. 25th.

Authorities say when the girl pulled the trigger, the weapon recoiled over her shoulder and shot the instructor, 39 year old Charles Vacca, in the head. He later died in the hospital.

The accidental shooting was captured on a cellphone. Continue to see the video...


The Mohave County Sheriff's Office said the girl was with her parents. The website of Bullets and Burgers, the shooting range where the accident happened, says children between the ages of 8 and 17 can shoot a weapon if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Police identified the weapon as an Uzi, an Israeli-made submachine gun.

Check out the cell phone video released by authorities yesterday showing the moments before the fatal shots were fired..
