EBOLA: Liberia's President Writes Heartbreaking Letter To The World

Liberia’s President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has taken the bull by its horns over the Ebola crisis rocking the country. President Sirleaf President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf wrote a heartbreaking letter to the world over the Ebola epidemic in her country. A letter which was broadcasted on the radio and transmitted worldwide, where she made it known sadly how, just like the Civil war the country faced that took away many of the citizens of the country, the Ebola Virus Disease has done much more. Ebola patient being carried away while his relative cries PHOTO CREDIT: Getty Images She talked extensively on how for the 11 years the civil war lasted, lots of Liberians died, the economy and vital institutions of the country got crumbled amongst others. Urging the international community to act fast instead of all the unending theoretical explanations, the president made it known how her country, alongside Sierra Leone and Guinea badly need great help. READ ALSO: EBOLA: Heartbreaking Photos From Liberia Below is the heartbreaking letter: Dear World, In just over six months, Ebola has managed to bring my country to a standstill. We have lost over 2,000 Liberians. Some are children struck down in the prime of their youth. Some were fathers, mothers, brothers or best friends. Many were brave health workers that risked their lives to save others, or simply offer victims comfort in their final moments. There is no coincidence Ebola has taken hold in three fragile states – Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea – all battling to overcome the effects of interconnected wars. In Liberia, our civil war ended only eleven years ago. It destroyed our public infrastructure, crushed our economy and led to an exodus of educated professionals. A country that had some 3,000 qualified doctors at the start of the war was dependent by its end on barely three dozen. In the last few years, Liberia was bouncing back. We realized there was a long way to go, but the future was looking bright. Now Ebola threatens to erase that hard work. Our economy was set to be larger and stronger this year, offering more jobs to Liberians and raising living standards. Ebola is not just a health crisis – across West Africa, a generation of young people risk being lost to an economic catastrophe as harvests are missed, markets are shut and borders are closed. The virus has been able to spread so rapidly because of the insufficient strength of the emergency, medical and military services that remain under-resourced and without the preparedness to confront such a challenge. This would have been the case whether the confrontation was with Ebola, another infectious disease, or a natural disaster. But one thing is clear. This is a fight in which the whole world has a stake. This disease respects no borders. The damage it is causing in West Africa, whether in public health, the economy or within communities – is already reverberating throughout the region and across the world. The international reaction to this crisis was initially inconsistent and lacking in clear direction or urgency. Now finally, the world has woken up. The community of nations has realized they cannot simply pull up the drawbridge and wish this situation away. This fight requires a commitment from every nation that has the capacity to help – whether that is with emergency funds, medical supplies or clinical expertise. I have every faith in our resilience as Liberians, and our capacity as global citizens, to face down this disease, beat it and rebuild. History has shown that when a people are at their darkest hour, humanity has an enviable ability to act with bravery, compassion and selflessness for the benefit of those most in need. From governments to international organisations, financial institutions to NGOs, politicians to ordinary people on the street in any corner of the world, we all have a stake in the battle against Ebola. It is the duty of all of us, as global citizens, to send a message that we will not leave millions of West Africans to fend for themselves against an enemy that they do not know, and against whom they have little defence. The time for talking or theorizing is over. Only concerted action will save my country, and our neighbours, from experiencing another national tragedy. The words of Henrik Ibsen have never been truer: “A thousand words leave not the same deep impression as does a single deed. Yours sincerely, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Meanwhile, in a determined fight to manage the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) which has killed no fewer than 4,400 people, the United Nations atomic agency has made its plans to provide West African countries hit by the disease with a nuclear-related technologyto help faster diagnosis known.

However, the WHO informed that the west African country still remains vulnerable to further cases of the deadly disease being imported from neigbouring countries and beyond. “While the outbreak is now officially over, Senegal’s geographical position makes the country vulnerable to additional imported cases of Ebola virus disease. It continues to remain vigilant for any suspected cases by strict compliance with WHO guidelines,”the U.N. agency said.

Why Nigerian Women Should Be Proposing To Their Men

Of course, Nigeria is a land of traditions and customs. It is unusual for a woman to ask a man for his hand in marriage. But times are changing now, so here are 4 reasons for a modern Nigerian girl to start proposing to her man. 1. Women do everything better As often said, everything a man can do a woman can do better. Instead of waiting for a prince to come for you, why not to take matters into your own hands? We live in the world where most conventions are broken. 2. Men are big babies All men are like babies. They want to be fed, given special attention and taken care of. So the best care you can give to him is to give him a ring. He probably deserves it as much as you do. READ ALSO: The Most Epic Wedding Proposals In Nigeria 3. Time is not on your side Often times, there is too much pressure on women from friends and, especially, parents to settle down. Your parents keep asking you when you will be married and all the ladies you know are already in their marital homes. So if you have already found a guy you love, why not to give him an engagement ring? If he does not do it first, of course. READ ALSO: Woman Marries Herself As She Is Tired Of Being Single 4. You don’t want to wait for too long Some time ago, Nigerian guys used to get married approximately at the age of 25. Now they prefer to wait till 30 or even 35. They want to buy a car, get a bigger house and so on. If this happens, you will be forced to wait a while for him to accomplish all of his goals. So if you two are in love – just propose to him. And don’t forget to cook something tasty!

Delta LP Chairman Accuses Edwin Clark Of Pocketing Millions From Ogboru

Tony Ezeagwu, the chairman of the defunct Democratic People’s Party (DPP) and now a top official of the Labor Party (LP) in Delta State chapter, has accused former Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, a former federal commissioner of Information and an Ijaw leader, of accepting an inducement of N14.5 million from Great Ovedje Ogboru, the DPP’s governorship candidate in 2007 and 2011, promising to woo Ijaw voters for Mr. Ogboru in 2011. Edwin Clark Mr. Ezeagwu made the allegation last week in Asaba, the state capital, as he refuted media reports in which Mr. Clark reportedly claimed that he raised N42 million for Mr. Ogboru’s governorship campaign in 2011. The LP officially insisted that Mr. Ogboru sent N14.5 million to Mr. Clark through former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe. He added that the Ijaw political figure could not deny receiving Mr. Ogboru’s cash. “Ogboru gave E.K Clark N14.5 million through Orubebe that cannot be denied from any source. That money was given to him to enable him [to] deliver Ogboru in the Ijaw area. He requested for it and it was in turn given to him. But the promise to deliver Ogboru in those areas was not fulfilled. I don’t know why people will just want to make cheap popularity by trying to blackmail people,” said Mr. Ezeagwu. He said Mr. Clark “was on oath” in Mr. Ogboru’s election petition against Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, but turned around to ask some of the petitioners to embrace Mr. Uduaghan. Mr. Ezeagwu, who is currently the state chairman of the Labor Party, said he was aware of N42 million was raised and given to a group called DCC, an appendage of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), headed by Mr. Clark. However, he stated emphatically that the money was not at any time given to Mr. Ogboru as Mr. Clark alleged. Said Mr. Ezeagwu, “There was a group called DCC, which E.K Clark and his group were using at that time. They came and said they wanted to support us. This money [Edwin Clark] is talking about, Ogboru never touched that money. Neither did I touch it or see it. DCC members shared this money among themselves, [saying] they were going to work for DPP. Ogboru never made away with their money. It was brought and shared among their group and they also wanted to hijack our structure at that time. “It’s good to put the record straight. We didn’t know whether they used the money for us or not, but they said they were going to work for us. If not for the fact that we are magnanimous, would we even say that the money was used for us when it was not given to us?” The LP official said it was unfortunate that a man like Mr. Clark would “wake up and begin to make this kind of insinuation to tarnish a young man’s image.” Two weeks ago, Mr. Clark had alleged that he raised N42 million and gave to Mr. Ogboru for the 2011 governorship election in Delta State, adding that the then DPP candidate ran away with the money.

Nigeria Talks Tough, Warns South Africa Over Seized $5.7 Million Arms Money

In a terse reaction to what appears a potential diplomatic spat between the two countries, the Nigerian government denied the second transaction was illegal and reminded South Africa of how Nigeria has provided a beneficial environment for South African companies like MTN, DSTV and a host of others to do business unhindered. “It is our hope that South Africa would reciprocate this noble gesture,” the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, said Monday, with a vow to eradicate Boko Haram regardless of the antics of “fifth columnists”. by Premium TimesOct 07, 2014 Nigeria responded with fury Monday after South African authorities confiscated a second tranche of funds meant for arms purchase to fight the extremist Boko Haram sect, denying the deal was unlawful and warning South Africa of its investment in Nigeria.

7 Signs He’s Only After Sex

Men are wonderful creatures that we can’t do without (There’s no point arguing about that). We need their strength, support, care and love. At times some of us confuse a man’s constant invitation to his house and compliments for love while others are just blinded by the idea of finding Mr Right that when they meet a guy with 90 percent of the “criteria” they become satisfied and down for whatever. If you and your guy have decided to be friends with benefits with no strings attached then this really isn’t for you but if you’re in a committed relationship or you just met this guy and all he wants is sex or you’re not even sure about where you stand, then you should read this. He never lets you check his phone He tends to be a bit secretive like he’s hiding something. If a man has nothing to hide he’ll be totally free around you and not be bothered if you find anything or not. He tries to distract you when you reach for his phone or begins to kiss you. These are signs that he has a gf and you’re the side chick or he just doesn’t want you snooping around. He only chats you up when he’s horny If he doesn’t call you the whole day or for days then its a sign that he’s not into you. When he eventually calls, he says “Sorry I haven’t called but I miss you and wish you were here” *rolls eyes* you know what he wants. He doesn’t talk much about himself When you ask about his family or work, he doesn’t say much or nothing at all. He never wants to be as open as you are willing to be or talk about his emotions but will rather talk about how sexy you look and how he wants to try out new things in bed. If a man is in love with you, he’ll be willing to share his likes, fears and tell you about his family. He doesn’t ask about work,friends and family This is also a major sign! He doesn’t show concern for your work or friends, he only wants you to himself (when he wants you). You always find yourself telling him about work, family or your adventures with friends instead of he asking you. If he really cares about you then he should be interested in knowing everything and anything concerning you, call you often and make you feel loved not lust after. He doesn’t introduce you to his friends/family If you haven’t met his friends or his family then he doesn’t find you worthy enough. If you think you’re in a serious relationship and he hasn’t invited you to hangout with his buddies then have a re-think. Whenever you ask about his family and you express hopes of meeting them, he tells you its unnecessary and turns you down. He doesn’t want to be seen in public with you Now this just gives the cat out of the bag. There’s nothing as romantic as a public display of affection. When you talk about going to the movies, he brings up some excuse about work or tells you how much he hates the cinema and prefers to cuddle up with you. He never wants to do anything fun with you or be seen in public with you instead he invites you to a date at his “house”. That’s not a date but a trick! Click to Tweet: A man in love is never shy about his feelings.>http://zegist.com/ 7-signs- hes-after-sex / He’s not very affectionate with you If he’s not sweet, kind, fond, loving, caring, warm-hearted, devoted, supportive, tender with you and he constantly makes everything sexual, what other signs do you need? Its time to call it quits and find a serious gentleman for yourself.

10 Obvious Signs That Your Lover Is Lying To You

Being in a relationship means putting a whole lot of faith in someone who was, at one point, a total stranger to you. It’s all a bit terrifying when you really think about it. So can you ever really tell what someone’s thinking and feeling, or if they’re being truly honest with you? So can you ever really tell what someone’s thinking and feeling, or if they’re being truly honest with you? Basically, no. But there are some clues in someone’s behaviour as to how they really feel and whether they’re lying or not. Here’s what to look out for… SEE ALSO: 8 Ways To Prevent Him From Cheating 1.If your other half is suddenly spoutingreligious phraseslike ‘I swear to Jesus’ or ‘God no’, then they may be trying to hard to cover something up. 2. Watch their hands. Are they trying to make them disappear, possibly into their pockets, behind their backs or under their legs? If yes, this could be a sign that they’re hiding more than just their palms. 3.A common misconception about cheats and liars is that they can’t provide detail about their lie, but actually, they maygo into too much detail. If they can’t stop talking and appear to be saying things as they occur to them, it might be that it’s all fabricated. 4.You know your partner best. Are they finding it more difficult than usualto maintain eye contact? Then they could be feeling guilty. And if they’ve fixed an unusually strong stare on your eyes, they could be doing so in an effort to try to control your opinion of them. 5.If there arenoticeable pauses before they answer questions, they could be buying themselves time to think of a response. Equally, answering too soon and speaking quickly is an indication that they’re desperately trying to convince you of something. 6.If theyrepeat more than one of your questions, they’re probably using the time to think of a reasonable answer. 7.Are theysuddenly being super honestbut about something that you’re not actually asking them about? For example, you question who they had dinner with this evening and they’re more concerned with apologising for how much they spent on the dinner than discussing who they ate with. They’re trying to deflect attention by admitting to a lesser offence. 8.Any attemptto cover their mouth– however apparently subconscious – could well be a sign that they’re uncomfortable with what they’re saying or hiding something from you. 9.Very strange but true: when lying, some people’s nasal tissues engorge, causing theirnoses to itch. So an unexplained sniff could give away more than you think… 10.And finally… take a step back andtry to look at it objectively: ask yourself whether you’d believe their story if it was one of your friends’ partners. If it now sounds implausible, then it probably is.

Journalist Close To Boko Haram Says Abubakar Shekau “Alive And Well”

A confidential debriefing document by the Nigerian army obtained last week by SaharaReporters also acknowledged that Mr. Shekau stayed permanently in his holdout in Sambisa Forest and was not in the habit of venturing out to battles. Item “R” of the document stated, ”Shekau has his wife and 2 children in Sambisa Forest. He is Kanuri, he speaks Hausa and he does not travel.” Meanwhile, a Nigerian security source told SaharaReporters that there was evidence of a growing frustration among insurgent fighters and a simmering power struggle between some of the sect’s top figures. He disclosed that some of the insurgents who surrendered to Nigerian troops last week in Konduga have told army interrogators that they decided to give up after their commander executed two of their leaders who led the failed attack on Konduga. The source told SaharaReporters that the insurgents,
