While sharing their experiences, one of the survivors and staff of First Consultant Hospital, Dr. Ibeabuchi Morris, said he was the first to receive late Sawyer at the hospital where he was first treated for Malaria.
The workers were killed while out creating awareness and distributing flyers about Ebola. According to reports, the villagers, who believe the Ebola outbreak is a fabricated story, began throwing rocks at the delegation who arrived to do disinfection work and educate people about how to prevent Ebola.
According to a journalist who escaped and later spoke to a radio station in Guinea, she said residents who have always rebuffed government's effort in containing the spread of the virus, gathered around them, first started by insulting them then the physical assault started. Overall, 8 people were killed.
8 Ebola awareness workers killed by villagers in Guinea
While sharing their experiences, one of the survivors and staff of First Consultant Hospital, Dr. Ibeabuchi Morris, said he was the first to receive late Sawyer at the hospital where he was first treated for Malaria.
He
said after the patient continued to have high temperature, he took
the blood sample and sent it to the laboratory, then contacted Dr.
Stella Adadevoh who advised him to continue attending to the patient
pending the arrival of the test result. He said when the blood result
arrived it was confirmed that he was EVD positive. Sawyer died a few
days later.
Dr. Ibeabuchi disclosed that
he started manifesting symptoms of the disease 12 days later as his
body temperature continued to rise beyond 38.5 degrees Celsius. He said
when his condition continued to degenerate, he reported to the
Lagos State Ministry of Health and was advised to restrict his contact
with members of his family.
According to him, his body
temperature got to an all time high of over 40 degrees at which point
the Medical team from Lagos State came and took him to the isolation
centre after decontaminating his house. He thanked the Lagos State
Government and all the other agencies and individuals who took care of
him and made it possible for him to survive.
Another survivor,
Dr. Adaora Igonoh, thanked the Lagos State Governor and the Government
for their dedication in the battle to contain the spread of the disease
which, according to her, made it possible for some victims, including
herself to survive the virus.
Dr. Igonoh, who is also a staff of
First Consultants Hospital, commended the hospital and the staff for the
risk they took to ensure that the disease did not spread beyond the
limit it did. She also paid tribute to those who lost their lives, adding that without their sacrifice, the story would
probably have been different.
Also giving his testimony, Mr.
Dennis Akagha, fiancee to Justina Akagha, a nursing staff of First
Consultants Hospital who died days after attending to Patrick Sawyer,
said he got to hear about his fiancee's contact with Sawyer when the death
of the Liberian was announced on television. She later told him she'd treated Sawyer.
He said when the symptoms
of the disease started manifesting in Justina, they first thought it was
pregnancy induced or Malaria because she'd told him she wore
protective gloves while attending to Sawyer. He said that on the
14th day, Justina's condition worsened and he took her to First
Consultants from where he was directed to the Isolation Centre in
Yaba where she later passed on.
He disclosed that he did
not immediately go to hospital when he started manifesting the symptoms
until he started vomiting and feeling dehydrated. He said he was
finally taken to the Isolation Centre where he was treated and
discharged after he tested negative of the virus.
Other survivors
who gave testimonies were Dr. Fadipe Akinniyi, also a staff of First
Consultants Hospital and Dr. (Mrs.) Kelechi Emenuo, wife of late Dr.
Emenuo, who treated one of Mr. Sawyer’s companions in Port Harcourt and
later died of the disease.
8 Ebola awareness workers including 3 journalists & 5 health workers
were killed by angry villagers on Tuesday Sept. 16th in Wome
village, same village where the Ebola virus broke out early this year.The workers were killed while out creating awareness and distributing flyers about Ebola. According to reports, the villagers, who believe the Ebola outbreak is a fabricated story, began throwing rocks at the delegation who arrived to do disinfection work and educate people about how to prevent Ebola.
According to a journalist who escaped and later spoke to a radio station in Guinea, she said residents who have always rebuffed government's effort in containing the spread of the virus, gathered around them, first started by insulting them then the physical assault started. Overall, 8 people were killed.
Damantang Albert Camara, a government official who spoke on the incident
said the bodies of the workers were dumped in the septic tank of a
primary school
in the village. Their bodies were found yesterday September 18th.
"On Thursday, the eight bodies were found in the septic tank of the primary school in the village. Three of them had their throats slit. They had been killed in cold blood by the villagers" he said

Innovation comes from environments that allow you to collaborate, engage in discovery-driven learning, and make integrative decisions. Resources, processes, values, behavior, climate and success; these have been called the building blocks of innovation.
80,258 News Articles
Apple has launched the iPhone 6 and there are two models, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Here we explain everything you need to know about the new smartphone including release date, price, specs and new features.
The iPhone 6 is now up for pre-order but unless you got in there quickly, you'll be looking at a lengthy wait for your new smartphone. Apple has announced that it received four million orders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in the first 24 hours - twice that of the iPhone 5s. All of the models, apart from the silver 16GB iPhone 6 state a delivery of 3-4 weeks on Apple's UK store.
The new 4.7in screen is one of the iPhone 6's main features. It's what Apple is calling a Retina HD display. And it isn't just about resolution, which is 1334x750 (that's 326ppi, and 38 percent more pixels than the iPhone 5s). No, the glass front "curves around the side to meet seamlessly with the anondized aluminum back".
Read: The best iPhone 6 alternatives.
In fact, the resolution and pixel density are nothing special. No QuadHD resolution here (as on LG's G3), nor on the iPhone 6 Plus. Instead, Apple is focusing on quality: the iPhone 6 has the most accurate (sRGB accurate, in fact) colours on an iPhone yet. It also has a thinner backlight which helps to make it even thinner - it's just 6.9mm from front to back (around half a millimetre thinner than the iPhone 5s - a difference few people will probably notice).
The polariser is improved and the screen itself is made with a technology called dual-domain pixels, which allow it to have a very wide viewing angles. Contrast is better, blacks are blacker.
The good news is that apps don't need to be optimised for the iPhone 6's new display to work: they just appear larger thanks to the built-in scaler. Naturally, developers can optimise their apps to work better on the iPhone 6 (and 6 Plus).
If you can cast your minds back two years, you'll recall Apple telling the world that the 4in screen was made that way because it was the biggest you could comfortably reach with one hand. With the iPhone 6, a new feature in iOS8 - called reachability - helps make the operating system easier to use. When you double touch the Touch ID button, the whole display slides down so you can reach the top without taking your hand off the bottom of the display.
The sleep/wake button is on the right hand side, rather than the top: another feature that helps with the larger form factor.
Of course, you don't want better performance at the expense of battery life, so the A8 is 50 percent more efficient than the A7 (as in the iPhone 5s) which means it can deliver that performance for longer with basically the same battery capacity. So, as we've come to expect from Apple, the iPhone 6 will last just as long as before, if not longer, claims Apple.
That means 11 hours of video or Wi-Fi browsing, 50 hours of audio playback and 10 hours of 4G LTE or 3G browsing.
The A8 chip has a new co-processor - you guessed it: the M8. It can tell when you're cycling, walking, and running. It can also estimate distance and can tell how many steps you're running and how far you've gone. It can also work out elevation, so rewards you for climbing stairs (but hopefully not riding the escalator).
4G gets a boost to 150Mb/s from 100, and support for 20 LTE bands compared to 13 previously.
There's also a new technology: VoLTE, or voice over LTE, which is much like using Skype, but in theory it should offer even better audio quality. Quite what happened to HD Voice is anyone's guess.
It's no surprise to see Touch ID in the iPhone 6. This can now be used with third-party apps. Thanks to the expected built-in NFC chip and 'Apple Pay' you can use your iPhone 6 to pay for goods - when they support Apple Pay, that is.
Read: iPiphone 6 NFC chip is restricted to ApplePay.

Synagogue Church Building Collapse: Death Toll of South Africans Rises to 84

that number were found alive.
Ebola Patients Buy Survivors’ Blood on Black Market
Many Ebola patients in West Africa have
begun to purchase the blood of Ebola survivors on the black market to
increase their chances of survival.
CNN reports
that Ebola survivors’ blood is referred to as “convalescent serum,” and
is said to possess antibodies that can fight the virus. However,
efficacy of the treatment is unproven.
The serum has been used to treat some patients, including Rick Sacra, an American aid worker. The blood of Kent Brantly, an American who survived Ebola, was used to treat him.
According
to reports, the World Health Organization (WHO) is worried that
patients in the affected countries are obtaining the blood via improper
means, and that doing so could lead to the spread of other diseases
including HIV and other blood-related ailments.

ere on the importance of choosing a career
mentor especially at the onset of one’s career. While there may be great
benefits of the right career mentorship what really determines how much
value you get from it is the quality of the career mentor you end up
with. A career mentor doesn’t just give you advice; the right one
challenges you to do better and also opens up and expands your network
possibilities.
Whether you are fresh out of school and
need someone to help you set off on a successful career path or you are
already bit experienced in a path and intend switching careers these
tips are to help you qualify the key factors your prospective mentor
should possess.
Availability
What use is a mentor that is so busy he can’t reply your emails or even schedule a 20-minute phone call once in a while? Time is an important part of mentorship; anyone who accepts to mentor a younger, inexperienced person already understands the implication (he/she would have to give some time).
So if someone is to be your mentor and rarely makes time to even listen to your questions and stuff you need to clear with him/her you are better off finding another mentor.

Building Ngcareers as a start-up has
been tough and would have been tougher without the mentor we have. Our
Advisor (I think I prefer that to mentor) is one hell of a very busy
entrepreneur in the technology services industry. He travels quite a lot
but still finds time to schedule 30 minutes Skype chats that sometimes
spiral into hours eventually whenever I needed to reach out to him.
That’s what an advisor/mentor should be
able to offer you; some bit of time to listen to what you are doing and
proffer ideas based on their experience and knowledge.
Bluntness
Some would call it forthrightness and I agree. You need a mentor/advisor who doesn’t act or talk like a politician.
Some would call it forthrightness and I agree. You need a mentor/advisor who doesn’t act or talk like a politician.
So when you are deep in trouble,you’ll be sure to get some cutting and strongly blunt advice on what you may not be doing right.
Does your proposed advisor/mentor look
like the type to never tell it to you as it is or hold back something
from you? He is probably not right for you.
One quality of a great mentor/advisor is that any day you have a lengthy talk with him you are bound to think and actually learn more.

For some months we had been working on
some sort of product pivot as we tried to come up with a more
sustainable business model. I decided I needed to share our ideas and
dilemma with my advisor.
After a couple of weeks trying to get an
acceptable time and date for a call we finally agreed a particular
Friday. He took the Skype call from his London hotel; a 30-minute call
extended to 1 hour plus as we talked (or rather he talked and I
listened). Each scenario I raised he tore into it and asked questions
concerning our B2B end of operations that got me scribbling on my pad as
we talked.
The questions and hard-hitting issues he
raised helped us fine-tune the ideas we were working on and certainly
helped put us on the current path to building a sustainable business
model.
Network
One of the reasons you have an advisor/mentor especially in business is that you sometimes take advantage of his expanded network (when absolutely necessary). He must have some good professional network levels that you can tap into when the need arises.
One of the reasons you have an advisor/mentor especially in business is that you sometimes take advantage of his expanded network (when absolutely necessary). He must have some good professional network levels that you can tap into when the need arises.
Most times they know someone who knows
someone who can provide you with the service or information you need.
This is one reason your mentor should be an active, experienced
professional in your industry.
Goal and Career Alignment
Is he someone who can easily understand and offer good insights on your career goals and aspirations? If you are pursuing a career in human resources management you surely would need to reach out to professionals in that field mostly. You definitely need access to people with knowledge of what works in the career path you have chosen and understand what you intend achieving.

This is an important point; as you would
surely get less value spending all your time with someone who (no
matter how successful they are) do not understand the workings of your
chosen path nor has the passion for it.
Track Record and High Standards for Performance
This is an obvious point. To be successful in any given field you certainly have to make people who have achieved some level of success your primary advisors.
This is an obvious point. To be successful in any given field you certainly have to make people who have achieved some level of success your primary advisors.
Your advisors are people that have
probably failed several times but have learnt over time what works and
what doesn’t and have pushed on with their improving knowledge and
skills to attain an enviable level of success. Those are the guys that
can make you think more for yourself and challenge you to be better than
you currently are.

iPhone 6: Release date and pre-orders
You'll be able to get your hands on the iPhone 6 on September 19th in the UK and pre-order from the 12th. That's the same date as the US, so there's no waiting around for a delayed UK release. You'll be able to get iOS 8 for any existing devices, on 17th September.

The iPhone 6 will come in the same three hues as the iPhone 5s, but this is quite a different-looking smartphone.

In a nutshell, a lady friend sent me an
inbox message on how it’s harder to find a good man in Nigeria. And that
the men who are “manageable” (her words, not mine) are so scarce and if
you ever get them they are either married to a lady that does not
deserve them or just repenting from a bad marriage from one of such
women. Or even just lost faith in the whole marriage thing.
I later ran into her at a club. After
the usual introductions that have become common place with these social
media network of friends… (You are my friend on Twitter, Facebook,
Tango, INSTAGRAM… That kind of thing)…. I chatted with her a bit and
found out from what she told me, that, many women are now settling for
anything in between MR Right, MR Not just ok and MR Nearly right. As she
put it, it’s now a case of looking at what a guy checks out in the top
10 box… And if he has 3 out of 10, snap him up… Work on the rest 7, if
you are lucky, you can get him to add 3 more of those top10 qualities…
And begin to pray it lasts for as long as you both can manage.
Much as I tried, to get her to rate me,
she said, she can only rate someone who is on her radar. So ladies have
relationship radar? Yes of course. You think you were not in Mary’s
radar, and she waited for you to come back after you… ? Ouch!!! (That
was my guy who was listening in on our private conversation) I wasn’t on
Mary’s radar…. I managed to mutter. Then she fooled you wellllll. She
quickly added.
It got me thinking… What does a man need
to show to get on any woman’s radar? Money, sense of humor, fame, dress
sense, good job, intelligence, good diction, good physique, some
visible signs of affluence, confidence,… She let me continue for a
while, raised her glass of Henessy VSOP, downed it, and said, “He must
first be AVAILABLE. Then you can begin to check out the rest.” So I
asked, do I look available? She said, “Of course, to the people who do
not care if you are married, you are very available! Not to me, OOO.
Mary was my boss at Platinum. So that strikes you out.” So I asked the
next possible question, “so what can I do to look unavailable?” There is
nothing. You are even an easy pick. She added. Any man who has a source
of income, popular, dresses well, tall, handsome small sef, has a car,
is in the circles of successful people, looks like he has potentials to
become somebody important and can pay the bills…
Our conversation started having K-leg
when she lit a cigar, not cigarette, Cuban cigar and started smoking. I
took a good look at her, and realized that, these women who are looking
for a MR Right all over Lagos, may just have met him but he is also
looking for a woman who doesn’t drink alcohol or smoke anything at all.
That is the wahala. As you are looking for MR right, he might be dodging
you because you are all shades of wrong…
While you are looking waiting for a guy
to walk in and fit into your radar, you are doing some things that also
confine you to the “never my type” hemisphere…
So, in conclusion, just as good men are hard to find, “manageable” ladies are unicorns!!!!
What is GOOSE for Uganda… Is GOOD for PERU”
Geraldine Ogwe: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love! Or Is it The Other Way Round?
Ruth
is one of my very few female friends. She is full of wisdom in
scriptural matters. She can defend every verse in the Holy Bible. I am
sure she knows all the names of the wives of King Solomon. She is also
one of those who proffer biblical solution to every problem. 3 John 2 is
as effective as Panadol in curing headaches. She is that kind of a
person.
You can imagine my surprise when I was chatting with her on BBM.
Ruth: I need your advice.
Me: Okay.
Ruth: Can a lady marry someone she doesn’t love but hopes to love later?
Me: I don’t advise that but if we can
move from hypothesis to the real identity of the lady, I can give a
better and more practical piece of advice.
Ruth: A guy says he loves me and wants to marry me but I don’t love him. There is nothing about him that attracts me.
Me: Haba, even 1Corinthians 13 cannot make you love him? Not even Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself?
Ruth: I am thirty-two. I am tired of
waiting for Mr Right that has refused to show up. This guy I am talking
about is a good Christian but that’s all I like about him. Anyway, I
know that God’s ways are not man’s ways. Sometimes, God gives us who we
need and not who we want.
Me: Next time, tell this guy to move from your left to your right and you will find out that he can actually be Mr Right.
We talked and analyzed the reasons why
she did not love the guy and the possible remedies. The guy was very
light-skinned. If she wanted a light-skinned man, she would prefer a
Caucasian. I suggested Shea butter cream and 3 hours sun tanning daily.
The intensity of the sun had to be as high as that of Dubai in June or
that of Maiduguri. The guy was about 5 feet 4 inches tall. I suggested
she met Denrele. If he couldn’t spare his high heel shoes, he could at
least part with his shoe maker’s phone number. The guy had a deep
baritone. Just what the devil needs! You can’t cast out demons with
babble. She didn’t love his hometown. You may visit there during
Christmas only. It’s not as if you will be resident there. Can a New
Yorker say s/he wouldn’t marry someone from Alaska?
My discussion with Ruth encompassed a
comment on my earlier post on My Encounters with Love. The comment was
from Iyke. He felt that love was overrated and instead of waiting to
fall in love with the person of your dream, one could actually marry a
responsible person whom one had no feelings for but who would be a good
co-parent to one’s kids.
My elder sister wanted to marry before
her younger ones. The love of her life was not thinking in that
direction, so she decided to marry Mr I-am-ready-to-marry-you-now. To
me, the man loves her. How many men go to the market to buy foodstuff
and cook same for their wives? My In-law does. The guy washes her under
garments too. He would personally sort her dirty clothes for washing. It
was not the case of her shirts mistakenly flying into his laundry
basket. Unfortunately, the guy does not even get an endearing name from
my sister. She calls him his name. R-U-F-U-S. Not even Ruffy! That would
sound like the name of a dog but you get my drift. Every pardonable
“sin” from him is annoying to her. The guy has his faults too but she
has not been able to manage him properly. If you are married to someone
you don’t love, why make it so obvious? The good thing is that Dede
Rufus knew there was no love from his wife initially but they both hoped
that Cupid would shoot his tiny arrow soon.
Peace, my colleague, is married to the
love of her life. She always tells the story of their love with relish.
Unfortunately, marital peace has eluded her. She married a man who loves
her but loves others too. Her husband provides everything for her and
as such expects her to overlook just one fault of his- Infidelity. On
the other hand, she wants nothing but for the love of her life to be
faithful to her. She doesn’t want Ferrari. She doesn’t want Designers.
She wants his 100% faithfulness. The only time she doesn’t whine is the
morning after her husband makes hot passionate love to her.
Aham is a comfortable guy I know who is
in love with a married woman whom he met when she was single. The lady
didn’t want to marry him then because he was not ready. Now he is ready,
and he is persuading the lady to divorce her husband so that they can
marry each other. The lady has moved on from such theatrics but Aham has
refused to move on. He still believes in “What will be will be”. I hope
what will be is not a bullet to his chest.
Diepiriye is my brother in the Lord. He
married a wife he had no feelings for. She too had no feelings for him.
They were introduced to each other as a responsible Christian by a
mutual friend. They have been married for fifteen years. They live in
peace and they hardly discuss each other with friends. Two weeks ago, he
told me that he met the woman whom he would have married and
immediately she touched his shoulder, virtue went out of him. There was a
kick downstairs. I asked him why he didn’t marry the lady then, he said
her parents didn’t accept his tribe for their daughter. I asked why he
didn’t fight for the girl, he told me that when a man was ready for
marriage, he was ready and if the desirable was not available, the
available became desirable.
My dear Nancy had to wait for three
years to get her father’s blessing to marry a man she loved. She
insisted it had to be Iniabasi for her to be truly happy in marriage.
The father finally succumbed. They got married on their eleventh
anniversary of dating each other. I told her that she deserved a long
service award.
I think that marriage should be based on
love and physical attractions first before other factors are
considered. I won’t marry a person I don’t love at present. I don’t
have the prophetic anointing to know what will happen in the future. His
touch will absolutely irritate me! I can’t afford to kiss a man I have
no chemistry with. I wonder how actresses do that. I must love you and
be physically attracted to you before considering marriage with you.
When you are away, I should miss what you do to me more than what you do
for me.
Is it worth it to be married to a person
you didn’t love but hope to love later? Is it fair on that person? Are
you comfortable knowing that your partner is a good parent but not a
good spouse? If your partner is a good parent and a good spouse but you
just don’t love the person, what are you waiting for? Would family
pressure, peer pressure and personal pressure push you to marry the
available but not the desirable? Is marriage such an achievement that
you need to compromise your personal happiness just to be married? If
the person you wish to be married to is not ready, would you wait or
would you marry who is ready? If you would wait,how long?
