Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Honeymooning in Malta! Filming Hot New Movie Together!

The newly married Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are headed to their honeymoon in Malta, which it turns out is a sexy blend of the personal and professional.

Pitt, 50, and Jolie, 39, are preparing for their first on-screen reunion since 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the movie that started Brangelina's road to the altar.
Their new film, By the Sea, is described as "an intimate, character-driven" drama and was written by Jolie herself. It is also not exactly family friendly.
Pitt and Jolie play a married couple in the South of France (where the couple lives in real life as well) who become sexually obsessed with their neighbors.
French actress Melanie Laurent, who costarred with Pitt in 2009's Inglourious Basterds, will play one of the neighbors in Angelina's latest screenplay.
"I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me," Jolie said of By the Sea.
"Just for fun. Just an independent little art piece. Because we don't get to do those as much as we'd like. But it's something really small and experimental."
Experimental?
The couple, while mostly reserved and private, has opened up about their relationship very personally in the past, sometimes causing controversy.
Brad said in Jolie "is still a bad girl. Delightfully so. It's not for public consumption."
His comments came after Jolie expressed to 60 Minutes, "I'm still a bad girl. I still have that side of me. It's just in its place now ... It belongs to Brad."
The two also caught flak for talking reverentially about 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith as their family love story of sorts, as he was still married at the time.
To Jennifer Aniston. But it looks like Brangelina 4 Life after this week, and we should have new cinematic evidence of it within the next year or two as well.

Happy 56th Birthday, Michael Jackson!

The late, great Michael Jackson, without question the defining entertainer of his generation and beyond, would have been 56 years old on this 29th of August.
The Moonwalk
Michael Jackson pioneered so many dance moves, he pretty much is in his own category. No one ever moved like this guy.
 
Michael Jackson died in June 2009, but the commemoration of MJ's birthday has, for the sixth consecutive year now, sparked tributes to the musical icon.

He will forever be remembered for his mesmerizing dance moves, telegenic appeal, groundbreaking music videos and literally dozens of hit songs.

Not just ephemeral hits, but tracks that changed the music landscape forever, inspiring countless other artists and breaking every record in the books.

Michael, of course, was also known for personal eccentricities, a life plagued by scandal, speculation and shocking allegations that he faces to this day.

Fans remember him for his music and his compassion; Jackson's charitable contributions through the years were almost as immense as his career.

Most of all, he would surely like to be remembered for raising three wonderful kids, Prince, Blanket and Paris Jackson, all of whom feel his loss most deeply.

Here's wishing his family and friends the best on this somber but celebratory occasion, in the hopes that they find peace and think fondly of the man.


Michael shares his August 29th birthday with celebrities such as Courtney Stodden, Liam Payne and Lea Michele. Happy birthday to all from THG.

Police parade carpenter for concealing gun in a loaf of bread

The Abia State Police Command has paraded a suspected robber, Justice Onyebuchi, 22, a native of Amayi Umuokwu community of the state, for allegedly concealing a locally made short gun and two live cartridges in a long loaf of bread .

According to Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Adamu, the suspect was arrested on August 10, 2014 by eagle-eyed policemen during a stop-and-search operation at Umuikaa- Omoba Road in Isislangwa North council in an Owerri, Imo State – bound commercial vehicle .

Police said upon interrogation the suspect said a friend gave him the loaf of bread but when the said friend’s house in Aba was later invaded by the police he had fled.
According to police, efforts were on to pick up the fleeing accomplice while the suspect will soon be arraigned in the court for illegal possession of fire arms.

Later in an interview, the suspect who claimed he was a carpenter based in Owerri, told PUNCH that he never knew that gun was concealed in the bread .
He said he was invited by his fiend who lived in Aba for a job, and upon completion, the friend gave him that big loaf of bread to keep for him ( friend) in Owerri so he ( friend) could pick it later on his way to the village.

The suspect said he was surprised at the discovery by the police that a gun was hidden in the bread, adding that he later took the police to the friend’s house in Aba to prove his innocence.
Asked the reasonability of accepting to carry a loaf of bread for a friend from Aba to Owerri when in fact such bread could be bought also in Owerri any time , the suspect became incoherent, swearing that he never knew the contents of the bread.

Photos: President Jonathan launches new national e-ID card in Abuja


President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday 28th August, launched the nation’s electronic Identity Card, e-ID, in Abuja.

The president while speaking said his administration was prepared to provide subsidy for Nigerians but that it was critically important to identify those to be targeted .
He directed that all Government Ministries, Agencies and Departments, MDAs, involved in data capture activities, must align their activities, with a view to switching over to the National Identity Management Commission-NIMC infrastructure.
According to him, it would be cost-effective for all identification management projects to migrate to the NIMC project which would house a single ID database for the nation.
In his remarks, the Managing Director of Access bank, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, said that his organization was partnering with the NIMC in the e-ID project in recognition of its importance in the financial inclusion.
According to him, the Know Your Customer, KYC, requirement in the banking sector would be simplified through the e-ID and would therefore enhance the nation’s payment system.
 
His words:

 “the  scheme solves a lot of problems.  First, it solves the problem of identifying your customers, KYC, Know Your Customer. But today’s occasion is more important than all of that.   It helps in reducing the negative biases we have about Nigeria, just because we have no identity cards, so anybody from anywhere can claim to be a Nigerian.
“Now because this card is biometric in nature if your name is Herbert Wigwe, you cannot change that name because my thumb print and finger prints are on it.  So if there is fraud you can trace who the person is and where he is.  Your payment details are all there so if you like at the end of the day, it is showing who a person is truly is and we can identify that person as a Nigeria and what he is doing and things around fraud which are generally associated will come to an end.
Most importantly, this card, apart from being an identity card is also a payment card and will  support the electronic payment system in the country.
“It cuts across the whole spectrum of the people- the poor people, who can now take their money on the card.  Through this card can know people who are paying their taxes. It is another version meant to leapfrog what we have lost over the last 30 years.
Also speaking, the Director-General of the NIMC, Mr. Mr.Chris Onyemenam, said:
 “it will also reduce some of the security challenges that we have as a country because you  can truly identify everybody and thereby determine who comes from which country or not. We are coming from a situation where there was no proper identification”.
Cardholders can use it  for depositing funds ,withdrawals, getting social benefits and making payments for goods and services at any location accepting MasterCard worldwide.
3 million cards will be issued during this first enrolment phase, while other Nigerians who are 16 years and older are expected to be enrolled subsequently.

Do You Agree? Short men stay married longer than tall men (Must Read Why)

Short men stay married longer than tall men -- but tall men still "marry up"
Tall, dark, and handsome is the popular description used to describe the perfect man for most women. From the brooding and sultry looks, women swoon over these men because of their celebrated physical attractiveness. However, science suggests setting your sights on much shorter, dark and handsome men because they make better life partners.

According to a recent study (not peer reviewed), short men have a higher income and are more likely to stay monogamous, making better boyfriends and husbands, and standing head and shoulders above their much taller peers. Short men have been stigmatized in society because of their stature. The cultural vision of taller men as being physically dominant and potential protectors has been embedded into the psyche of many women, creating a “prejudice” against shorter men. It’s unclear whether women prefer this because of society’s pressure for women to be slim or because of an evolutionary perspective. Dr. David Frederick, an assistant professor of Psychology at Chapman University, examines how social remission processes and our evolved psychology interact to influence our close relationships and our views of what is attractive. He has hypothesized women may prefer a taller partner because it can make them feel smaller, or women have developed a preference for taller men because of the advantages height can provide them in male-on-male competitions, The Huffington Post reported.

To examine the effects of male height on various relationship outcomes in longer-term relationships, researchers Dalton Conley, a sociologist at New York University, and Abigail Weitzman, a Ph.D. candidate, collected data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics — a University of Michigan project that’s been collecting demographic data on 5,000 families for almost 50 years. This data was used to look at how a man’s height impacts different areas of his relationship after the initial dating period. Conley and Weitzman looked at two sets of data, from 1986 and 2009, and identified 3,033 heterosexual couples. The male sample size was restricted between the ages of 23 and 45, and consisted of men who were cohabitating with a woman. The male participants ranged in height from 4-foot-6 to 7-feet. In relation to their partners, their height ranged 9 inches shorter to 2 feet taller. The researchers categorized these men into three groups: “Short” men were defined as 5-foot-6 or less in 1986, 5-foot-7 or below in 2009; “tall” men were at least 6-foot-1 in 1986 and 6-foot-2 in 2009.

The findings revealed short men were less likely to get divorced, more likely to share housework, and be the breadwinners at home. These men were somewhat less likely to get married, with an 18 percent marriage rate lower than men of average height, at every age before 45. Weitzman believes this is because short men may have a harder time getting married, since they’re viewed as less masculine by society. However, when they do find a partner, the divorce rates are 32 percent lower for short men compared to the rates for tall and average men.
In regard to housework, shorter men perform eight hours and 28 minutes per week of housework — this comprises about 28 percent of the total — compared to seven hours and 38 minutes for average men and seven hours and 30 minutes for tall men, New Republic reported.

Weitzman believes tall men may be “aware of the status that is conferred by their tallness,” which may make them prone to do less work at home. While these men fare better with housework, but they also tend to have higher household incomes than their partners. The researchers estimated 79 percent of short men make more money than their significant others, compared to 70 percent of average men, and 71 percent of tall men. This finding conflicts with previous research that has found taller men earn more money.
Throughout the study, the researchers noticed a consistent pattern with short men and their partners: They were more likely to partner with women who are older, less educated, and younger. Twenty-one percent of these men were with women who had not completed high school, compared to 16 percent of average men, and just 12 percent of tall men. Also, when it comes to age, it is not just a number for them. In the entire sample size, only nine percent of men partnered with a woman who was more than three years older. Age is an area where the short men can exude their masculinity by partnering with a younger woman.

This study coincides with another recent study published in the Journal of Family Issues, which found women err on the side of caution when it comes to height and online dating. About 50 percent of women restricted their online dating searches to men who were taller than them. This finding was also consistent when the same team of researchers took a survey of college students and found about 30 percent of women would feel “awkward” or “weird” dating a shorter guy.

Perhaps it’s time to put an end to these men getting the shorter end of the stick. After all, your Mr. Right could be shorter than you.

Rivers records first case, 70 under observation

Ebola scare

 Rivers State last Friday recorded its first casualty of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease as a doctor who treated an ECOWAS staff, a primary contact of the Liberian-American, Patrick Sawyer, died of the virus.

With the doctor’s death, the number of casualty of the EVD in the country is now six.
The doctor’s case was not managed by the government team as it was only made known after his death.
The ECOWAS staff who had since returned to Lagos has been brought under surveillance.
Presently, 70 people have been placed under surveillance in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State. The result of the test conducted on the wife of the doctor is being expected later on Thursday.

The unnamed doctor, according to Sahara Reporters, secretly treated a diplomat who had contact with Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American, who brought the virus to Nigeria. The doctor reportedly died on Friday, while his wife had also taken ill and now quarantined in Port Harcourt.
The diplomat treated by the doctor is still alive, the report said.

The diplomat is believed to be among those who met Mr. Sawyer on his arrival in Lagos. He then flew to Port Harcourt where he took ill. He was treated at an unnamed hotel in the Rivers state capital, an official said. The doctor’s hospital, Good Heart Hospital, as well as the hotel where he treated the diplomat, have been shut down, reports say.

The ECOWAS staff who is a Nigerian, according to Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, evaded government surveillance team in July and traveled out of Lagos to Port Harcourt, where he was said to have consulted with the doctor.
The minister, however, assured the people of Rivers that there was no cause for panicking as the government is on top of the situation.
He assured residents of the state that government was going to handle the case just as it did with Lagos.
The minister also pleaded with those under observation to stick to the simple instruction, stressing that early detection has been very helpful in containing the disease.

Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's Father Says Divorce Rumors Were a "Trick" to Publicize On the Run Tour!

In case you spent the summer buried under a pile of rocks: Beyonce and Jay Z divorce rumors have been circulating for months, with the Carters themselves fueling much of the speculation.
Bey and Jay stopped wearing wedding rings; Bey was spotted apartment hunting by herself in Manhattan...at one point Beyonce even hinted that Jay Z cheated on her while performing on stage:
But Beyonce's father and former manager Matthew Knowles claims it was all a clever ruse designed to promote the couple's record-breaking On the Run tour.
"I know because we've done this before," Knowles claimed in a recent radio interview. "So you sometimes have to ignite that tour. It's called the Jedi mind trick. The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot."
Knowles even went so far as to suggest that the Jay Z-Solange Knowles fight back in May was also staged.
"All I know is the Jedi mind trick!" Knowles claims when the interviewer expressed his skepticism. "Everyone's talking about it! Ticket sales went up! Solange's album sales went up 200%!"
And that's where we're calling BS. The wealthiest, most popular couple in music probably doesn't need to make themselves look like a Jerry Springer sideshow in order to sell tickets and spark a momentary surge in Solange's album sales.
Also, someone needs to educate this dude on the meaning of "Jedi mind trick." Lying to a Stormtrooper about the droids he's looking for is not the same thing as lying to millions of fans about the state of your marriage.

BET Apologizes For Blue Ivy Diss, Defends Karrueche Tran in Statement

Beyonce, Jay Z and Blue IvyKarrueche at the ClubKarrueche Tran is blaming BET for the fact she ripped Beyonce and Jay Z's little girl with a harsh joke about her hair while hosting "106 & Park."

The joke took a shot at Blue Ivy's hairdo and no one ever combing it -- but it quickly blew up in Karreuche's face when incensed Bey and Jay fans unleashed a vicious social media attack on her.

0826_tweets-about-karrueche
A source close to Chris Brown's GF tells TMZ ... she read the joke cold off a teleprompter -- it was in a script that had been changed by producers at the last-minute -- and she never saw it beforehand.

We're told ... it was a live show and KT had no choice but to read what was on the prompter. Afterward, she and her manager went nuclear because they also thought the joke -- about a 2-year-old -- was mean-spirited and in poor taste.

Karrueche tells TMZ she actually admires Blue's 'do, saying ... "I love that Blue is able to wear her natural hair." She added she would never disrespect Beyonce and Blue Ivy.

BET President Stephen Hill also apologized, saying he reached out to Beyonce and Jay Z ... and has "taken punitive actions" with the producers responsible for putting Karrueche in that position.

Nigeria's Oldest Pastor Dies At 114


 
The Founder and President of the Gospel Apostolic Church, Pa Samuel Sadela, has passed on. He was aged 114.

Although a senior pastor in the church reportedly claimed that the man described as one of Nigeria’s oldest pastors could still be receiving treatment in a hospital, he was said to have died in the premises of the church in Lagos.

As of the time of this report at 9.15pm press time on Tuesday, an official statement was still being awaited even as the church was said to have opened a condolence register for the man of God who remained sensational even as a very old man.

Sadela was of the Apostolic stock of Christianity.

His pastoral calling started in 1928 when he visited the famous Prophet Moses Orimolade of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church.

When he marked his 113th last year birthday, the aged pastor had expressed hope to live up to 200 years of age.

He had said “I feel happy to be this old. Actually, I feel like a young man. I still enjoy my meal of Iyan (pounded yam), Eba and bush meat. I sleep whenever I want to and wake up stronger I want to live longer to prove to all that God remains the same as He was in times past. If Methuselah could live for 969 years, God can make me live well beyond 113. If Noah could be 950, it is not too much for Him to make me live up to 200.”

Even if that wish was not granted, Sadela left an indelible imprint in the hearts of his members and admirers around the world.

The cleric, who claimed angels taught him to read the Holy Bible when he was only two years of age, raised not a few eye brows when he married a 30-year-old woman in 2007.

“The Lord is my strength. I am very strong and energetic,” he was quoted as saying after the wedding in Lagos.

According to reports, he first got married in 1934, with the marriage lasting for 21 years, but none of the couple’s seven children reportedly lived beyond their infancy. A second marriage, said to have been consummated in 1965, was blessed with four children, but only two survived. His second wife died in 2001.

A native of Ondo State, Sadela attended St. Paul’s Anglican Primary School, Ifon, Osun State, but had to drop out when he travelled to Sapele, Delta State to work as houseboy to one Captain Pullen, a District Officer. Sadela however retraced his steps in 1918 and completed his Standard six education in 1920.

Meanwhile, reactions from clerics have greeted his death. The Osun State Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Elisha Ogundiya, in a phone interview with our correspondent, expressed shock at Sadela’s passing.

He prayed that God, ‘will comfort his family.’

Similarly, the founder of Christ Overcomer’s Assembly, Rev. Dipo Filani, described Sadela as a highly respected man of God.

“He was one of the oldest pastors alive in Nigeria. There was a time he said miracles started taking place in his ministry when he was 90 years.

Wickedness: Woman Sits Her Sister-in-law On A Burning Electric Cooker For Bed-Wetting (Photos)


Hmmmmm!!! Wondering what could make a 'mother' that have tested how painful it is to push out a baby to be this cruel to someone's daughter......

Mrs Roseline Uzoamaka has been arrested by the Dutse Alhaji Police Division of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, for brutalising her 14-year-old relative, Sarah (her sister-in-law).
 
Uzoamaka forced the teenager (her husband's younger sister) to sit on a burning electric cooker until the girl sustained severe burns in her private parts as a punishment for urinating on the bed last Saturday, August 23, at the family’s residence in Gwarimpa, Abuja. 
 
In her statement to the police, Uzoamaka confessed that she did this because some friends had advised her that the way to make her bedwetting sister-in-law recover from the problem was to make her sit on a hot stove.
After the girl’s privates were affected by the heat, she was said to have been rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment the same day – where she’s still recuperating.
The Abuja Police Command Public Relations Officer, Altine Daniel, confirmed the arrest saying, “Yes, the woman has been arrested. She told the police that the reason she did that was because the girl was bedwetting.
“She said it was some of her friends who advised her to try that as a solution. The girl is related to her husband. She is not her housemaid.
“The case has been transferred from the division to the Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.”

A former warehouse worker, Dionne Baxter from Purfleet in Exxes has suffered first degree burns after her overheated charging iPhone melted on her breast as she was sleeping.

According to reports, the 24-year-old mother of one was left with serious infection from a painful inch burn and there's fear that she might be unable to breast feed again should she have another child.
UK's DailyMail reports that she fell asleep lying across her charging iPhone 4 but woke up in agony the next day with a five inch burn on her breast.
Ms Baxter was rushed to hospital where doctors attempted to treat the wound with antibiotic cream and painkillers.

In an interview with The Sun, Ms Baxter revealed that,  

"I sleep in the nude and this large red mark was all down one side to the nipple. When I touched the phone, it was so hot I couldn't pick it up".

Ebola: Wema Bank To ‘Reject’ Customers With High Fever

A branch of WEMA bank in Lagos
Following the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, in Nigeria, many banks have introduced new measures to curtail the spread of dreaded disease

Wema Bank has introduced self-dispensing hand sanitisers, and body temperature scanners at all its branches in the country in a move aimed at curtailing the spread of Ebola, Premium Times reports.
The bank is also introducing protective gears for members of its staffs especially those who deal directly with customers.
In a notice to customers released Monday, the bank said henceforth all customers and visitors to any branch of the bank would be required to use the hand sanitisers and be scanned for symptoms of fever before being admitted into their banking halls.

“In the wake of the recent Ebola Virus Disease outbreak across West Africa, we are compelled to introduce the following preventive health and safety initiatives at all our business locations in order to ensure a safe banking environment for all customers and staff,” the notice read.
“All customers and visitors are required to use the hand sanitisers and also undergo a quick non-invasive body temperature scan before being allowed into our banking halls and business locations.
“In addition, some of our staff at the more sensitive desks will also be required to wear some protective gears while interacting with customers and other visitors during this period” the document added.
Premium Times further went ahead to make enquiries from experts if this was right or a form of discrimination and here’s what they were told;
The federal Ministry of Health said it was not informed of the move, considered by some as discriminatory.
A health campaign organization, Projekthope, said the new policy is discriminatory.
“We should all learn to do things right. The presence of Ebola symptoms does not necessarily mean transmission will take place,” said Steve Aborisade, who heads Ibadan-based Projekthope. “And even if we want to be hyper proactive it should be sensitive in ways that will not be discriminatory and which actually stops transmission which is our first purpose.”
However, a medical expert said the bank should go beyond screening and make adequate referral arrangements for customers who may be turned away due to their health.
“I don’t think we should see it in the light of a discriminatory policy, I think they are just trying to act on the side of caution,” said Osahon Enabulele, the immediate past president of the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA.
“The end point should be to aid the referral of such an individual to the nearest health facility for appropriate treatment. And of course, I expect that they should have a medical unit in the bank to quickly evaluate clients that may have suspicious features to properly evaluate them and not just to turn them away,” Mr. Enabulele said.

TB Joshua Explains Why He Does Not Have Church Branches Everywhere


Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua has opened up on why his church does not have foreign branches despite his popularity abroad.

The cleric, who spoke on Sunday 24th August 2014 at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), stressed on the need for God’s character to be fully established before ministerial expansion.

“I would have loved to have branches all over the world because people want T.B. Joshua everywhere,” he told the congregation. “But it is not yet time because it will be too much for my character. When the load is too heavy for you, it will become a burden.
”He further added that he was not moved by pleas from people but rather relied on God’s instruction. “Not where they want me but where God wants me,” he emphasized, adding that he was not in a haste or hurry and would not jump ahead of God’s timing.
“If you run before God, you cannot run after God,” he continued, explaining that this had been the bane of many businessmen and pastors as their desire to expand superseded their level of character.
His views stand in stark contrast to the popular notion that the amount of branches a church has is indicative of its level of success.
“In a situation where you become so great without God’s character, it means the end is going to be bad,”

Joshua went on further to explain, reminding congregants of Jesus’ words in John 14:27 that the world too could provide wealth and fame although with conditions attached.
“When you see someone who is great without God’s character, don’t admire him – pray for him because the beginner is not the owner but the finisher… The beginning and middle are off-record; the end is what will put the record straight”.
The cleric stated that it was even better not to have fame and popularity than to achieve what would eventually end in calamity.
“Character is the one that carries whatever we become. If your wealth is bigger than your character, that wealth will be spending you, not you spending it.
”T.B. Joshua stated that one of the secrets of his ministerial success was not being driven by money, explaining that some worshippers were still under canopies in his church not because he lacked the financial capacity to expand but because he was waiting on God.
“There is money to build but money cannot dictate for me. We could expand this place (The SCOAN) and build the biggest church in the world but I allow the Source of money to tell me what to do, not the money itself.

”T.B. Joshua also bemoaned the way people complained about their problems as if they bore no responsibility for them, adding that their challenges were not a consequence of God leaving them but rather their choice to live contrary to His ways.
“God does not want you to suffer but you want to suffer,” he soberly stated. “God is always with you but you are not with Him.
”T.B. Joshua, who has been the center of several controversies especially within the fold of Nigerian Christendom, added that if not for his persecutors, he would have remained a street-preacher.
According to him, detractors motivated God to bestow more favour and mercy upon his ministry, adding that no billboard can be found advertising The SCOAN yet visitors flock from around the world
“If God has called you, the more they block your way, the more that trouble and temptation, the more God’s love is provoked… Each attempt to stop you asks for more evidence from God.
”The cleric concluded with some profound advice for Christians, calling on them to change their style of prayer. According to T.B. Joshua, prayers for blessing, healing and protection were redundant as God is fully aware of the challenges of His children and does not require reminding.
“You need to block the avenue satan is using to afflict you – your weaknesses,”T.B. Joshua counseled. “Your prayer should be against weaknesses.
”He further clarified that prayer alone was not enough, stating that genuine desire to desist from bad habits and weaknesses was also essential.
“Live the life of your prayer,” he told the congregation, citing an example that praying for God to help you stop smoking and then picking up a cigarette immediately was akin to hypocrisy. “God always leaves us to play our role before He comes to our rescue,” he concluded.

I will go back to Sierra Leone where I contracted the disease 'as soon as I'm better' : British Medic Ebola Patient at London hospital

Mr Pooley grew up in a close-knit family in an idyllic rural setting in the Suffolk village of Eyke

The British nurse struck down by ebola while working in West Africa has vowed to return to the disease-hit region as soon as he is better.
William Pooley contracted the deadly virus while working 18 hour days at a desperately understaffed hospital in Sierra Leone, where medics are battling to contain the outbreak.
He is now being treated on a London hospital ward after he was airlifted back to the UK by the RAF after catching ebola from the very victims he was trying to save.
But he has told friends in Africa he is sure he will beat the disease - and is determined to fly back to the region to save other victims when he recovers.

Gabriel Madiye, who worked alongside Mr Pooley at the Shepherd's Hospice in Freetown, was one of the last people to speak to the British nurse before he was flown home.
He told the Sun: 'He was very sure that once he was in England, the excellent medical care in Great Britain would help him recover in a matter of weeks and he would come back to us.' 
Before contracting ebola, Mr Pooley, 29, had graphically depicted the horror in the African hospital where he had selflessly volunteered to help those stricken by the outbreak.

He was forced to make the painful decision to leave sufferers alone overnight after the other staff fled. It came after angry locals rioted outside the hospital in response to rumours that ebola was a ruse to steal sufferers' blood and harvest their organs.
'We gave the patients water and paracetamol and then we had to walk out,' he had said. 'Patients are dying the most horrible deaths. I'm expecting to find several corpses tomorrow morning.' 
Mr Pooley was pictured in a white infection control suit at the hospital in Kenema, the third largest city in Sierra Leone and a hot-spot for ebola.

He remained positive when he was interviewed less than a fortnight ago, choosing to focus on the patients who had recovered.
'It's great seeing them walk away after some of them have been in a terrible state,' he told the Guardian newspaper.

But the British nurse also spoke of chronic staffing shortages, the excruciating pain of ebola sufferers, mothers watching their children die, and how patients had to lie next to corpses for hours because there were not enough staff to move the bodies.
'It's the easiest situation in the world to make a difference. I'm not particularly experienced or skilled, but I can do the job and I am actually helping,' he told Sierra Leone-based blogger Jo Dunlop. 
Fellow volunteer Professor Robert Garry, of Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, praised Mr Pooley's dedication to his ebola patients.
He said: 'Will was working longer and harder than just about anyone out there. He was putting in 12 to 18-hour days.

We have been understaffed at the hospital. Nursing staff have been afraid to go in.'
Dr Oliver Johnson, who has also been helping ebola victims in Sierra Leone, said Mr Pooley was an 'extraordinary guy' who knew the risks involved but was prepared to take them for the sake of the patients and his colleagues.
Mr Pooley's family yesterday praised the doctors treating him at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, north London.
They said in a statement: 'We would like to express our thanks to all involved in bringing our son back to the UK.
'We have been astounded by the speed and way which the various international and UK government agencies have worked together to get Will home.

'Will is receiving excellent care and we could not ask for him to be in a better place. We would like to thank all our family and friends for their best wishes and ask everyone to remember those in other parts of the world suffering with Ebola who do not have access to the same healthcare facilities as Will.'
