Some parents of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls have rejected insinuations that some of their daughters may have been the ones being used by Boko Haram to execute suicide bombings around the country.A parent, Mr Lucky Chibok, who spoke on behalf of other parents, told LEADERSHIP Sunday that their girls are

well behaved and cannot, under any influence, allow themselves to function as bombers for “wicked people” like the Boko Haram”.He said “These girls are children of God, and they did not opt to be taken by the Boko Haram terrorists or any group of extremists; they are schoolgirls, innocent and god-fearing”.“These girls have been brought up in the best homes of Christians and Muslims.

In Chibok, we don’t have rooms for zealots or extreme bigotry; and we believe our children cannot be used for, or turned into such bestial acts of Satan”.He, however, pointed out that if the girls eventually derailed in their decent upbringing, “then we would hold the government responsible for allowing t hem to stay this long without rescuing them, and all of us would blame the federal government for turning them into what we did not bring them up to be”.

Read Time:2 Minute, 10 Second

The World Health Organisation has said clinical trials of a preventative vaccine for the Ebola virus, produced by British pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline, may begin next month and be made available by 2015. There is currently no available cure or vaccine for the virus that causes the severe fever and, in the worst cases, unstoppable bleeding. Ebola has claimed close to 1,000 lives in the latest epidemic that was first reported in March and spread across West Africa. Fatality rate can approach 90 per cent, although the …

latest outbreak has reportedly killed around 55 to 60 per cent of those infected. According to a French news wire, Agence-France Presse, the world health body’s Head of Vaccines and Immunisation, Jean-Marie Okwo Bele, told French radio on Saturday that it planned to begin the clinical trials in the United States and Africa. He added that he was optimistic about making the vaccine commercially available. “We are targeting September for the start of clinical trials, first in the United States and certainly in African countries, since that’s where we have the cases. “We think that if we start in September, we could already have results by the end of the year. “And since this is an emergency, we can put emergency procedures in place, so that we can have a vaccine available by 2015,” Bele said. Several vaccines are being tested, and a treatment made by San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical, ZMapp, has shown promising results on monkeys and may have been effective in treating two Americans recently infected in Africa.

 
Meanwhile, three people on Saturday have been isolated at a Ghana hospital for showing symptoms of the Ebola virus. The three persons are being kept at the Nsawam Government Hospital in the eastern region of the country for observation. According to Myjoyonline.com, blood samples of the patients have been taken for laboratory test at the Noguchi Memorial Institute. Among the patients was a 16-year-old girl who went to the hospital on Thursday with blood in her urine. The second person, a 56-year-old man, also came to the hospital from a nearby village, Adawso, with blood in his urine. The third patient was reported to have blood in his urine and faeces and was in a feverish condition. He is a 53-year-old driver. Meanwhile, the Ghana Health Service is awaiting test results of a Burkinabe, who was admitted at a health facility in Bawku for showing signs of the virus in the northern region of the country.

A woman identi-fied as Titilayo Kola was  yesterday strangulated to death allegedly by her husband a day after she was delivered of twins. Sources revealed that the incident took place at the couple’s apartment at No 23, Temidire Street, Ajowa area of Ado-Ekiti, the state capital. Findings further revealed that the deceased’s husband, one Mr. Kola, popularly known in as Melomelo (how many, how many), had escaped with the twins even as he was reported to have slept in the same room with his late wife, their new twins and other four children the night before the incident.
Narrating the incident to journalists, the landlady of the deceased, who simply identified herself as Mama Aluko, said, “Titilayo was delivered of a set of twins at midnight on August 7. I was with her to help with the children and other things. Her husband, who has not been living with her for some time now, also came around, while her mum too was also around.
“Around 8:30 in the evening, her mother told me she would be going for night vigil in her church. So, it was her husband, herself and their new twins that I left before I went to bed that night.
“This morning (August 9), I woke up planning whether to prepare Semovita or fufu for Titilayo. It was around that time somebody came to inform me that they couldn’t wake Titilayo up and that her husband and the twins had disappeared.”
Asked about other family members of the couple, the landlady said she didn’t know much about them, adding that Kola (the husband) came to rent the apartment about a year earlier, but, however, stopped living with his wife a few months after they moved into the apartment.
Confirming the development, the Ekiti State’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Victor Babayemi, said: “It is a case of homicide and child stealing. The deceased was found dead on the bed in quite a suspicious circumstance, and the prime suspect is the husband of the woman who we haven’t seen.
“So, we have a case of homicide and child stealing on our hands and we have commenced investigation.”

Group rejects zoning of Abia governorship in 2015

A group, Abia Solidarity Group for Democracy, ASGD, has described as “unacceptable” the zoning arrangement being allegedly mooted by the Governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji, for the election of his successor. The group said the arrangement could preclude those who possess the leadership qualities to turn the state around in the next dispensation. Mr. Orji, whose second term ends in May 2015, is reportedly rooting for his successor to come from the Abia South Senatorial District. 
 

The governor is from Abia Central Senatorial District while his predecessor, Orji Uzor Kalu hails from the Northern Senatorial District. ASGD asked the governor to concentrate of providing democracy dividends for the people during the last lap of his administration instead of engaging in zoning of the governorship position. “It is necessary to press our incumbent governor to concentrate on delivering dividends of democracy, especially at this tail part of his administration rather than introducing measures that would deny citizens of the state the opportunity to choose a credible governor at the next dispensation through the introduction of his proposed zoning arrangement that will deliberately preclude some people,” the group said in a statement on Friday by its leader, Peter Elema. The group also canvassed the emergence of a female governor for the state, arguing that since the creation of the state in 1991, it had always been governed men. It specifically called for support for Nkechi Nwaogu, a serving senator who it said had the capacity to develop the state.

 The group, however, regretted that the zoning arrangement being pursued by Mr. Orji could preclude the senator from achieving her ambition. It added, “As part of our avowed commitment to guide and consolidate democracy and ensure adequate development in our state, we wish to reiterate our firm resolves to ensure the enthronement of a responsible leadership in the state in the next dispensation. “We therefore advocate for a woman governor as a positive alternative to the persistent leadership failure by our men folk who seem to be busier fending for their families and cronies at the expense of the people of Abia state. “Considering the rate of infrastructural decay in our state since the last and present administration, we are convinced that the jinx can only be broken by the election of a woman governor for the state.” While encouraging other women to join the governorship race, the group however asked all Abia citizens, home and in Diaspora, to support Mrs. Nwaogu. It added, “A level playing ground should be ensured for this amazon who has demonstrated quality representation of the Abia Central Senatorial District at the 7th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as she competes with her male counterparts.
 Abia indigenes vehemently disagree with this purported zoning arrangement. “Her courage and purposefulness in the race desires much encouragement from all and sundry, especially when her track record of achievements in the polity and other spheres of life is placed side by side with her male counterparts.”

How My Boobs Popped Out On Stage -Omawumi clears the air

Read Time:1 Minute, 19 Second

In a male dominated industry like the Nigerian music industry, first runner-up at the Idol West Africa, Omawumi Megbele, has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. 
Some music critics in Nigeria have likened her to the legendary Onyeka Onwenu, who the singer did a duet with recently.
When it comes to dressing, Omawumi mostly rocks short gown which barely covers the whole of her thighs and at some instances, the shoulder region of her body is always exposed. This sometimes revealed her bobbi. While some believe she does that intentional to stir controversies, others believe Omawumi is only proud being a woman, which she attests to in a recent interview. 
Answering a question on why her bobbi popped out at an event, the Delta State-born singer revealed that, “because I have small shoulders and my bobbi are actually beautiful, I tend to wear revealing upper body dresses.”
She added that, “when you are looking at the mirror, you are not well as tall as to see how troublesome it could be. That dress has feathers in the front of it and before I left my hotel room, I asked someone if the dress was okay and she said yes.”
Continuing, Omawumi stressed that, “so, I wore the dress to the show and when I was performing at the show, of course, paparazzi took my pictures and released them. I realized that my bobbi were practically pouring out of my dress, there was no way I could have put my bobbi back.”

Reports say three persons have been isolated at the Nsawam Government hospital in the Eastern Region for supposedly showing signs of the Ebola attack.

MultiTV's Matilda Womegah, who visited the hospital, said blood samples of the patients have been taken for medical testing at the Noguchi Memorial Institute.

Among the patients is a 16-year-old girl who went to the infirmary Thursday with blood in her urine.

Matilda continued that a 56-year-old man also came in from a nearby village, Adawso, with blood in his urine.

The third patient's case, she said, was a peculiar one because he had blood in his urine and faeces and was in a feverish condition.

He is a 53-year-old long distance driver, who plies the Accra-Kumasi route.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Health Service is awaiting test results of a Burkinabe, who was admitted at a health facility in Bawku in the Northern Region.

Reports suggested he showed signs of the Ebola virus.

In Apapa area of lagos on Sunday morning, two military off‎‎icers Hillary and Sheu Abdullahi fought each other to death over a girl friend. 

Hillary's girlfriend had dressed in a military outfit just like Hillary while they went clubbing that night. At the entrance of the club, Hillary's girlfriend was asked why she wore a camouflage despite not being a military officer. Hillary who is a corporal in the Nigerian Army  got angry on the reason why his girlfriend should be questioned in his presence. Abdullahi who came to settle matter made things worse by slapping Hillary 's girlfriend saying she insulted him. Hillary got angry, rushed him and stabbed with a pocket knife. Of course we all know how military men 

 

behave. Abdullahi died on the spot and on his friends seeing what happened, they rushed and started fighting him till he gave up in their hands.  The deputy police relations officer ASP Lelma Kolle confirmed the incident saying that two people died but they weren't on time to prevent the deaths but actually got hold of the situation. Someone had called reporting the situation at the club. The two military officers that were connected with the incident were arrested while the dead bodies of Hillary and Abdullahi were taken to the morgue. 

Ladies should try and correct their man when he ain't right because we all know that army get bloody when they see you in camouflage.
