World Ebola fears grow with Europe and Asia on alert
Fears that the west African Ebola outbreak could spread to other continents grew with European and Asian countries on alert and a leading medical charity warning the epidemic was out of control.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said the crisis gripping Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone would only get worse and warned there was no overarching strategy to handle the world's worst outbreak of the disease.
US Christian charity Samaritan's Purse was temporarily withdrawing its non-essential staff from Liberia, it said, citing regional "instability and ongoing security issues".
Michelle Obama Tells Young African Leaders: ‘The Blood Of Africa Runs Through My Veins’
Michelle Obama has made some interesting and controversial comments during her tenure as First Lady, seeming never to hold back when it comes to saying the things on her mind. Not such a bad thing, according to some.
The First Lady spoke to 500 young African students at the Presidential Summit for the Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders in Washington today, telling them that Africa means a whole lot to her, personally.
Even though her husband has shied away from discussing his African heritage, referring to his Kenyan father only once in the question-and-answer session, Michelle Obama said that she takes her position as an African-American woman in America very seriously.

Guests using toilet at posh hotel can be seen by passers-by after window design blunder
Guests using toilet at a newly opened posh hotel in Berlin can be seen from the street by passers-by after architects messed up the window design.

According to reports, the architect who designed the restaurant area in the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin thought the toilets should be placed next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, despite the building being only ten storeys tall.
The hotel, which offers great views of the Berlin Zoo, unfortunately also now offers jobless pedestrians an eye-ful if they look up.

Popular Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke escaped from Monrovia, Liberia's capitial city following the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus. Funny enough, since Jim Iyke posted the photo of his exit strategy on the social media, his fans have been demanding that the actor be quarantined by the government immediately.

A social media commentator, Maxwell Eze writes on Vanguard facebook page that they should quarantine Jim. Another Bimbo Odususi begs that Lagos State government should test the actor and place him under serious observation of clean health bill.
“Life has no duplicate. better run like Ben Johnson, but then go for check up as soon as you arrive Nigeria or any country of your next destination. expect thorough screening,” a commentator named Lixxymore tells him.

As the rumors spread yesterday Beyonce calmly posted a picture on Instagram of Jay Z and Blue Ivy captioning the photo, "My favorite hue is Jay Z Blue,', in an effort to rubbish the reports.
Jay Z and Beyonce also have 84 million reasons they have to stay together…

According to The Nation, Lagbaja was approached to entertain supporters of Omisore, the candidate of PDP in the up-coming governorship election in Osun State, but he declined the offer, saying;
"Though the court of the land discharged and acquitted you (Omisore) in the murder case against the former Minister of Justice in Nigeria, the late Cicero of Esa-Oke & foremost nationalist, Chief Bola Ige, I have deep-rooted innermost conviction that you are culpable in the death of my mentor and benefactor. If you offer me all the allocation of Osun State during your four-year-tenure peradventure you win (which I seriously doubt), I will not perform for Iyiola Omisore governorship election.”

Allhiphop.com owner pens an open letter to Nicki Minaj
In a column on Mommy Noir Chuck writes,
Dear Nicki Minaj,
I own AllHipHop.com. AllHipHop has been historically uber supportive of the rapper Nicki Minaj. That’s you, homie! When I say historically, we can take it all the way back to when you had to stand in line to get into parties or those grimy underground videos you once pumped out on the streets. You know, that period of time before Lil Wayne and Young Money. Along the way, something changed. Continue...

Ada Obiako: You Don’t Want To Be Crazy?
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” – Maya Angelou
You want to be normal?
Fine. That means you don’t want to do anything great in your life.
Many of us spend the majority of our
lives striving to be “normal” and “fit in” with the crowd. When we hear
the word “crazy”, we shudder. We find it synonymous with “negative”,
“dangerous”, or “bad”. After all, who wants to be different and stand
out? Who wants to be the cause of opposition and criticism? Who wants to
be laughed at and mocked by others? Who wants to be “crazy”? I know I
didn’t!
The problem: It takes a bit of “crazy” to do great things in life.
There is nothing normal about achieving
great feats – if it was normal, we wouldn’t be so shocked when they
happen. There is nothing normal about following great dreams when those
around you (sometimes that includes YOU) doubt you, laugh at you, mock
you, criticize you, and label you an “underdog”. Look around you – there
is nothing normal about renewing your mind, developing self-discipline,
and becoming a great vessel of love and service. There is nothing
amazing about “normal”.
Civil Servants question Okonjo-Iweala over Alleged N1.8 Trillion Salary Expenditure
The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) yesterday, questioned the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, about the alleged N1.8 trillion spent yearly on the salaries of public service employees.
ASCSN addressed the minister via a
statement, asking the minister to explain why the large amount was being
spent on salaries. The civil servants also requested that Okonjo-Iweala should disclose to Nigerians, exactly how much of that amount was actually spent on the salaries, Vanguard reports.
The association is also alleging that
the staff strength of the Public Service is about 870,000, and not the
1.2 million declared by the minister.

Nigeria is on the verge of a break up - Bishop Oyedepo says
"I hope that we are willing to find solution to it. I would be the last person in this world to believe that government has not discovered those who are behind Boko Haram. Otherwise, we don’t have any intelligence service in our country. Are they sacred cows that cannot be brought to book? Until we cut the source of their supplies and get those who are involved, we cannot stop them. But the danger is this, and I must say it here, we are at the verge of a break up. That is the truth. It’s unfortunate. The Nigerian nation is too intelligent to claim not to have discovered those who are behind this. So, I really believe it’s all in the hands of the authorities to decide whether they want to confront the issue headlong or to keep watching it until Nigeria breaks up......All that the church can do is to pray. The church is not in power, it has no political power. And when invited, we give advice, when required or called upon. You can’t call someone and say can I advise you?" - Bishop David Oyedepo

When The Truth Does Not Save But Destroys...Gov. Amaechi's Burden Of Truth
By Bright West
In the streets of Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State of Nigeria, one would find billboards with the picture of the state governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and a bold inscription which says, The Truth Shall Prevail". For everyone in life, this is a fact and somewhat a prayer particularly when going through a difficult time of criticism and backlash. One cannot help but ask that someday, the truth would prevail over falsehood, smear campaign and outright negative propaganda. This goes to show the insidious pain which the governor may be forced to live with from those who have vowed to rubbish him and his good works. Yes, the truth would prevail someday but how long shall the people wait to know the truth which according to the Holy Bible is the thing that sets one free?

Reuben Abati: Nigeria’s Most Evil Genius?
By Dr. Peregrino Brimah
Nothing is more dangerous than when a good man goes rogue. Most of the
worst criminals in history were good men in society who either
voluntarily or by virtue of circumstance, went rogue. We all know the
award winning, chairman of the editorial board of the Nigerian Guardian,
Dr Reuben Abati, our guy, a staunch truth shooter and government critic
bar none.
But when Reuben was sucked into the Jonathan Government, Lord have mercy!
One can only imagine what Reuben is up to today: conspiring, orchestrating, plotting and conniving. There is nowhere where you will not find Reuben or pick his dangerous scent. Reuben works between party lines, he sneaks up on activists, media editors; selling his paymasters' wares in the last places you expect. If you are an activist or politician, you will know precisely what I am talking about.
If the unbelievable story can be written, Reuben wrote it; if the unimaginable can be invented and spun, Reuben spun it. If it can be blown-up, Reuben is blowing it...
