MALI RECORDS 2ND EBOLA DEATH

A nurse at a private clinic in Bamako has become the second victim of the Ebola virus in Mali, radio reports said on Wednesday.

 

According to the reports, the nurse was infected by a patient from Guinea who was treated at the same clinic and has since died.

Mali has only been lightly affected by the outbreak of the deadly virus, which has infected over 10,000 people and caused nearly 5,000 deaths, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

 

The reports say there was one other death from the virus in Mali in October in the western city of Kayes.

 

However, 15 people have been quarantined. (NAN)

Joy Turned Into Tragedy: Jehovah’s Witness new mother dies after she refuses to be given blood

A mother who gave birth to a baby conceived naturally after years of failed fertility treatment died in hospital after refusing a blood transfusion because she was a Jehovah’s Witness.

According to London Evening Satndard, Adeline Keh, 40, became critically ill after her son Mawsi was delivered by caesarean section at the Homerton hospital. She died three weeks later in another hospital after refusing potentially life-saving treatment.

Today her husband told of his grief that “we never came home as a family” as it emerged that the case was one of four maternal deaths in eight months involving the Homerton.
The hospital, in Hackney, has asked NHS England to review the deaths to check for any evidence of common failures in care. The review is expected to be completed next month.
Speaking for the first time since his wife’s death, Kwaku Keh told the Standard: “My wife and I were best friends. We had been trying to have a baby for some time but it had not happened for us even with the help of IVF.
 
Best friends: Adeline Keh with her husband Kwaku “Then in 2013 my wife got pregnant without medical intervention and our only son was delivered by caesarean section. I was overjoyed and could not wait for them to come home.”

Mrs Keh remained in hospital after her son’s birth on September 18 last year to receive antibiotics for an infection. She developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and was transferred to Papworth, a specialist heart and lung hospital in Cambridge.

She had told doctors of her refusal to receive blood products, and lawyers confirmed her wishes had to be obeyed. She was put on a machine at Papworth but it could not effectively re-oxygenate her blood without a transfusion. She died two days later.

An inquest last month found Mrs Keh died on October 19 last year from a combination of ARDS, sepsis, an infection in the caesarean wound and “refusal of transfusion on religious grounds”.

Coroner Belinda Cheney, in a narrative verdict, said Mrs Keh died from a “rare infective complication”. The source of the infection had been impossible to detect until the post-mortem and the decision not to receive blood “may have compromised the final medical intervention”.


Mr Keh, a lawyer living in Walthamstow, said: “Each time I went to pick her up [from the Homerton] I was told that she could not come home. Eventually my wife lost her fight and passed away and we never got to come home as a family.”

Lady Gaga: Topless and Terrifying in the Streets of Paris

In case - like most of the world - you haven't given her much thought lately, allow us to bring you up to speed on Lady Gaga:
She's still dressing like a rejected Batman villain and somehow keeping a straight face while doing so.

What's truly impressive about Gaga's fashion sense is the way she takes a look should be sexy and somehow makes it horrifying.

It's kinda like when Elmer Fudd gets attracted to a hot female hunter who turns out to be a stack of dynamite with a hat on top.

To her credit, Gaga has been doing this for years and she somehow never rocks the same Martian fetish-model look twice.

Some think the fact that she still puts this much effort into dressing up to walk her dog might mean that there's no truth to the rumor that Gaga is married to Taylor Kinney.

That's not necessarily true, though. You see, Gaga doesn't dress like this for Taylor. She doesn't even dress like this for herself.

No, Gaga dresses like this for her fans...and for the smae paparazzi that she's giving the evil eye to in these pics.

Not everyone can get away with walking around in a dress made out of of Muppets and still making you feel bad when you get caught staring.

It's hard to toggle back in forth between "Look how weird I am!" and "I changed my mind, stop looking!"

Is that a fame approach?

I Came To Nigeria To Steal And Become Rich Before Going Back To Ghana: Shocking Confession of a Ghanian

A Ghanian citizen resident in Nigeria, Israel Nana has confessed that his mission to Nigeria was to steal and become rich before going back to his country.

 

According to pmnews, the 30-year old Nana said he nearly accomplished his mission and was preparing to return to Ghana when he was arrested.

Nana said he came to Nigeria five years ago and had been busy stealing and making money but nemesis however caught up with him.

He said he was a well known criminal in his home town in Kumasi, Ghana and because of his renowned notorious activities, he decided to relocate to Nigeria to continue his criminal activities.

On how he came to Nigeria, he said his friend who lives in Nigeria helped him secure passage into the country, adding that, immediately he got into Nigeria, he began stealing and later graduated to car snatching.

He said since he came to Nigeria, he had lived in four cities in four states namely, Abuja, Lagos, Edo and Rivers.

He said he settled for car snatching because “you don’t need sophisticated weapon such as guns, pistol bullets etc to carry out the operation and it was easy to dispose the cars because a buyer was already ready to pay the money”.

On the choice of cars he specialize in stealing, he said the demand are Toyota Cars especially Camry but Honda, Nissan Jeeps and others were also in high demand.

He said he was arrested in Rivers State after one Alhaji who buys stolen cars from him was arrested in Abuja a fortnight ago.

He said he was still surprised on what was happening to him because he never thought he would be arrested.
Nana is a member of the five-man gang car syndicate arrested by the Lagos State Anti-Robbery Squad for car snatching in Nigeria.

They were paraded by the Lagos State Commissioner of police, Mr Kayode Aderanti at Ikeja, Lagos. Some of the vehicles stolen were also recovered across cities in Nigeria.

 

Break The Internet Kim Kardashian: Seen Her Butt Naked Photo For Paper Magazine Yet? (Photo)

Brace yourself: Kim Kardashian is exposing her naked booty to the world!!!
 
Kim can be seen covered in oil for the shot, which was taken from behind, and wearing nothing but black opera gloves and several pearl string chokers.

You can check out the full pic below, but be prepared. You've probably never seen this much oiled-up badonkadonk in one place:


In an alternative cover, the reality star pours champagne into a glass balanced on her bottom

See what we mean? This is a woman who became famous on the strength of her ginormous butt and willingness to get naked, and yet this might be the most ass-tastic Kim pic to date.

For starters, she's on the cover of a magazine!
This isn't some explicit centerfold pic. At this point in her life Kim is basically just like, "Meh, you've all seen me do way worse. Here's my naked mom butt!"


 Kim is a symbol of American freedom - like the Liberty Bell, but with a bigger crack.
That said, we're a little bit surprised that Kim has been stripping down more than ever in the months since she married Kanye.

Back in September Kim was naked on the cover of GQ. Now she's mooning the world on the cover of Paper!

Kanye West posted the bare bottom photo on Twitter with the caption: '#ALLDAY

Maybe Yeezy likes to show what he's got at home. Maybe Kim wants to show the world that new moms can still be sexy. Whatever the case, we hope the trend continues. God bless you, Mrs. West.

 

 

How I Survive Yobe School Blast: Witness Narrates (Must Read)

A teacher of the Government Comprehensive Senior Science Secondary School, Potiskum, Yobe State, who survived a suicide bomb attack have recounted his ordeal.

The witness, a teacher, who did not want his name to be mentioned for security reason managed to speak with journalists

He said the bomb went off from the bag of a young schoolboy who walked up to the assembly ground after an unknown car left him at the gate of the school at about 7:30am. The boy was carrying a heavy schoolbag on his shoulder.


“Many of us sighted him as he was dropped off by the car and watched how he confidently walked up to the assembly ground pretending to be one of the students”, said the witness. “But unfortunately, he was immediately spotted by one of the duty teachers who noticed his odd appearance amongst other students, by carrying a bag to the assembly ground, even though the school is a boarding school”.
“The teacher on duty called his attention, asking him why he had to bring his bag to the assembly ground, but the bomber remained silent, ignoring the teacher. His attitude towards the teacher drew the attention of other students who milled around him to find out who he was. The teacher then moved closer to him, thinking he might be a new student on transfer since most of the students could not recognise him”.

According to the source the teacher and some of the senior prefects who were not satisfied with the impoliteness of the fake schoolboy who continued to ignore the teacher, decided to force him to kneel down.

“It was during the process of asking him to observe the punishment of kneeling down that the explosive in the bag went off and unfortunately killed many of the students including the teacher who had inched closer to the scene to see what was happening”.

The teacher added that he survived because he did not go closer to the student, thinking it was one of those usually rude schoolboys that the teacher was dealing with.

The blast which was considered one of the worst attacks on schools left the assembly ground littered with abandoned footwear, books, bags and body parts.

God Will Calm Your Storm – Rest in the Power of His Grace

There is not one among us at one time or another that has not felt hopeless, discouraged or defeated in life. It is at those times no matter how dark and gloomy things may seem that we must never underestimate the vast expanse and power of grace. 

Hopelessness and failure are founded in our hearts and in not in our circumstances. We must learn to trust in the power of grace, because it is grace that causes hope to triumph. In our darkest despair it is the power of His grace alive in us that causes hope to rise, bringing light and life to our despair and failure.

In life there will be times when you feel as if you are standing on the edge of a cliff spanning a chasm as wide as the Grand Canyon, looking deep down into the gorge of despair, as your soul cries out for relief and rescue, but there seems to be no hope and no comfort. There are times that your mind seems frayed on the verge of sanity as the ponderosity of your burden seems to have broken every escape, and collapsed all hope. But I say to you fear not and be not dismayed as Christ is ever-present working on your behalf, supernaturally directing all circumstances and events, rescuing and delivering you from your all your desperation and doubt.

There are many avenues within secular society that promise to cure-all with self-help videos and self promotion books that tell you to be positive, lift yourself up and will your way to win. As we read and listen to these self-help gurus we will try to will our way to victory, coming up with plan after plan, method after method, hoping to survive and trying to improve our lives.  We think that if we develop a new workout schedule to better our bodies; upgrade the scenery in a newer neighborhood; buy a newer car, change relationships etc., that we can get ahead. But the reality is that in none of these things there is comfort or rescue. The truth is, as you are breathing in the desperation from your bone-dry desert of despair, choking on hopelessness of it all, while trying to find any way out that you will come to the realization that you must trust in Christ. He is your Anchor of Hope that has already secured your victory upon the cross.

If you are finding it difficult to make the right decisions in your life, you are relying on your own limited vision and insight. Put all your doubt, fear, indecision, hopelessness, anxiety and pain before the powerful Throne of Grace and let Jesus guide you in your decisions. He will guide you by His Spirit to make the right decisions, removing all that is weighing you down in your parched wilderness of self-doubt. He will overcome for you just as He overcame the world by the power of His grace poured out upon all humanity at Calvary.

Psalm 107:29 He calms the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea are hushed.

The Kardashian Family Disapproves Kylie Jenner-Tyga Relationship

The relationship between Kylie Jenner and Tyga has been an endless source of controversy since it began, and for good reason.
Kylie is 17 and Tyga turns 25 next month, which means that their romantic involvement isn't just creepy, it may be criminal.

In fact, when Tyga was arrested in Los Angeles last night, it was widely rumored that it had something to do with his relationship with Tyga.

The cause of the arrest is still not known, but sources say it had nothing to do with Kylie. Still, it's not hard to see why so many assumed that it did.

After all, Kylie's famous family members are reportedly doing everything in their power to put a stop to her relationship:
"They almost unanimously disapprove of Kylie dating Tyga," a source tells Radar Online. "It isn't just Kim that doesn't like Tyga. Pretty much no one trusts him."
Insiders say Kim has tried to force Kylie to break up with Tyga, but not due to their age difference.
Tyga was previously engaged to Kim's best friend Blac Chyna. Like many others, Kim believes Tyga broke up with Blac in order to pursue Kylie. She also reportedly believes tat Tyga is using Kylie for fame:

"Tyga has known the family and Kylie forever," the source says. "It is strange that he only takes an interest in Kylie now that she has this minute of fame."

HWG....
