Ebola: FG Postpones Resumption of Schools

To prevent an outbreak of the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD), the Federal Government has reportedly approved the extension of the current holiday of primary and secondary schools across the country until further notice.


NewTelegraph reports that the development, government stated, is part of measures to curb the spread of Ebola. Senior Special Assistant to the President on Youth and Students Matters, Comrade Jude Imagwe, who disclosed the postponement of school resumption in Abuja yesterday did not state
how long the students would be on holiday. He said that President Goodluck Jonathan was wary of the danger of the disease to the nation’s future generation and as a result ordered that the schools remained on holiday till the country find a way out of the outbreak.

“He advised that as a President, he did not desire that our secondary and primary schools should be opened at this time because we have high population of young brothers and sisters who want to see themselves grow from primary and graduate tomorrow. We cannot have what it takes to have eye on each of these brothers and sisters: the future of this country in their classes,” he said.

While advising Nigerians to value their life and those of others around them, Imagwe also berated those suspected to have the virus and had been put under surveillance but escaped. This, he noted, constitutes great health risk to many unsuspecting Nigerians.

Man Nab For Sleeping With A Dog In Edo State

The Edo State Police Command has arrested a 19-year-old boy in Iguosa community, Ovia North East Local Government Area, for allegedly having sex with a dog.

 

The young man, identified simply as Osagiator, was said to have taken the dog to an uncompleted building where he had sex with it.

It was learnt that earlier, the residents had gathered at the palace of the head of Iguosa community when the news of the incident spread within the length and breadth of the area.

A resident in the community, George Ogbonmwan, while narrating how the teenager was caught, said he had saw the suspect with the dog and had thought that he wanted to steal it.

He added that he decided to call the attention of the owner, Garuba Samari.

Ogbonmwan said when he and the owner of the dog traced Osagiator to the uncompleted building; they were surprised to see the suspect having sexual intercourse with the dog.

“When I saw the way the young man carried the dog like a baby, I decided to tell the owner. We went to the uncompleted building and caught the boy sleeping with the dog,” he said.

However, the suspect, who claimed that he resided in Uselu in Benin, said he was a regular visitor to Iguosa community, where he sought menial jobs.

He explained that he did not know what came over him.

He claimed that the dog followed him as he walked along a street in the community. He added that he took the animal to the uncompleted building, but did not know what made him to have sexual intercourse with it.

He said, “I was walking along the street. I saw a dog following me and I carried it like a baby. I just went into the uncompleted building where I did what I did to it. I don’t know what came over me.”

Samari, who quickly disowned his pet, insisted that the boy should be handed over to the police to decide what to do with him.

“The dog has to follow him. I have nothing to do with the dog again,” Samari added.

The Odionwere of the community, Pa Clifford Igiehon, and the scribe, Festus Obadiaru, described the act as an abomination. They added that the suspect had been handed over to the police.

Igiehon said, “It is an abomination against the community. The young man came from Uselu community in Benin City. I don’t know why he decided to commit the act here in the community. We don’t want to see him here again.”

The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Noble Uwoh, said the suspect had been arrested and taken to the state police headquarters for further investigation.

He added that the dog had since been killed by the community.

“The boy has been arrested and transferred to the state headquarters for further investigation. The community killed the dog because the people said that it was an abomination,” Uwoh said.

CBN Re-introduces Fee for ATM Withdrawals

From the 1st of September 2014, bank customers will pay a token for cash withdrawals made on other banks’ Automated Teller Machines (ATM). The Central Bank of Nigeria announced this on Wednesday.

If you recall, customers used to pay N100 if they used other banks’ ATM, but it was cancelled by the CBN and Deposit Money Banks in December 2012.

Now the current fee is N65, that is N35 less than the former fee.

The Central Bank agreed to re-introduce the charges because the cost of transaction was becoming too burdensome for the banks to continue to bear.

Director of Banking and Payment Systems Department of CBN Dipo Fatokun said the first three withdrawals on other banks’ ATM will be free but it would become effective on the fourth withdrawal in a month.

The statement posted on the official website reads:

“The CBN hereby issues the following directives: The re-introduction of ‘Remote-on-us’ ATM cash withdrawal transaction fee, which will now be N65 per transaction, to cover the remuneration of switches, ATM monitoring and fit-notes processing by acquiring banks; the new charge shall apply as from the fourth ‘Remote-on-us’ withdrawal (in a month) by a cardholder, thereby making the first three ‘Remote on us’ transaction free for the cardholder, but to the paid by the issuing bank.

September 1, 2014 shall be the effective date for the implementation of the new charge; banks are expected to conduct adequate sensitization to the customers on the introduction of the new fee; all ATM cash withdrawals on the ATM of issuing banks shall be at no cost to the cardholder.”

O.J. Simpson in Prison: I'd KILL For Kim Kardashian!

O.J. Simpson is definitely obsessed with Kim Kardashian!

"He has several sexy pictures of Kim hanging up in his prison cell from her 2007 Playboy shot and he isn’t shy about showing her picture to fellow inmates,” an insider tells Radar Online.

• 
• 

Simpson, of course, is serving a 33-year sentence at Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada for a 2008 robbery and kidnapping conviction.
He also almost definitely killed two people in 1994.
Despite being locked up, however, Simpson still follows celebrity gossip apparently.
"She likes black ball players, I am a Hall of Famer - and I still have my Heisman award," Simpson allegedly joked to a friend recently, referencing Kim's ex, Reggie Bush, who had to forfeit his Heisman for breaking NCAA rules.
And Simpson is confident in his chances with Kardashian, despite the likelihood that he'll die in jail and despite her marriage to Kanye West.
"As long as I am in prison, I can’t be with her so Kanye can have her for now," he says. “But when I get out she’s mine.”

Simpson and then-wife Nicole Brown Simpson used to be close to Kris Jenner and her first husband Robert Kardashian, going on multiple family vacations with them in the late 1980s early 1990s when Kim was a child.
So he's known, and apparently admired, Kim for awhile.
"He reads every magazine he can about her and when she is on TV he demands silence from his fellow inmates so he can watch without interruption," the source claims. "He’s even tried to get in contact with her, but so far she hasn’t responded to him."
Simpson may be eligible for parole in 2017. Consider yourself warned, Kanye.
