Rivers records first case, 70 under observation
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
Karrueche 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.
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.”
