Edward Osim talks about why he married Pres. Jonathan's daughter

Godswill Osim Edward, the husband of President Jonathan's daughter Faith Sakwe, has opened up for the first time on why he married her. Speaking with Ovation magazine, Edward said;

"What struck me was the humility of her parents, especially her dad. Both of them do not despise people and do not judge you based on your background. When I got to know her background, then I realized that indeed she was from a good home for her to have kept a low profile in school. I could see that she was indeed a replica of her parents. That is rare these days" he said

The Ebola virus scare is real, everybody is afraid. Members of the National Assembly are not exempted from the panic over the spread of Ebola in the country, as many of them expressed their fears for the dreaded virus by refusing handshakes with the minister of health, Onyebuchi Chukwu when he appeared before them to give account of what federal government is doing to checkmate the deadly Ebola in Nigeria.

The minister was left with no choice but to greet the lawmakers like cultists, using sign language.

After dropping her own remix to "Flawless" earlier this week in an attempt to throw shade at Nicki Minaj, Lil' Kim has returned with a new Nicki Minaj diss track "Identity Theft." And this time again, Lil' Kim is calling Nicki out for supposedly stealing her style.

It's Getting Scary: Experts Say Transmission Of Ebola Virus By Air is Possible

A strain of Ebola Virus

THE Ebola Virus is essentially transmitted from human-to-human through direct contact with infected patients, or through contact with body fluids of a victim. However, scientists are not ruling out the possibility of transmission by air through aerosolised particles.

Previously, Canadian scientists have shown that the deadliest form of the Ebola virus (the Zaire Ebola) could be transmitted by air between species. Although no human over-ther-air transmission of the lethal viral disorder has been recorded, but the Patrick Sawyer incidence in Lagos, Nigeria, has reopened worries over the implications of the possibility of its transmission in an enclosed environment such as an aircraft cabin.

The Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has descended heavily on the Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, for allegedly issuing N50 million ‘dud’ cheque to Owerri Catholic Archdiocese “even after voting massively for him in the 2011 governorship election.”

According to a new report on ThisDay, Mbaka recalled that the Catholic Community controls about 60 per cent of the voting population in the state which reasonably favoured Okorocha who contested on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to clinch the governorship seat

following the widely propagated allegation that the immediate past governor, Ikedi Ohakim, who was also seeking a re-election assaulted one of their priests in the build up to the 2011 elections.
