4 Month Old Boy Dies from Ebola Virus in Guinea

It is truly heartbreaking to hear about the numerous individuals that have passed away from the deadly Ebola Virus.

One of the latest casualties of the disease is a 4-month-old baby boy called Faya, who died in Gueckadou, South East Guinea, BBC reports.

Faya is said to have caught the virus from his mother, who died a few weeks ago.

His corpse has been buried in a forest. The boy’s family is reportedly “too scared” to attend his funeral.
“I was there with him just before he died…I had been feeding him milk. I stepped away, just for a short break, but then I was called back and he was dead. I was totally devastated,” said Adele Millimouno, a Medicines Sans Frontieres (MSF) nurse who was taking care of the baby.
The International Federation of the Red Cross and Medicines Sans Frontieres told BBC that “the [Ebola] situation across West Africa remains out of control.”

Dokubo Asari Faults Jonathan's Comments On Buhari

Major political figure of the Ijaw ethnic group in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria known for his populist views and an anti-government stance, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari lambasted President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in Abuja.

It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan had commented on the Kaduna attack fews days back, which left at least 82 people killed, according to report and was supposedly targeted at the former Head of State Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) saying Nigeria would have boiled if the former head of state had died in the attack.

However countering the statement of the president and making it known that he is not an ally of the presidency, Dokubo called the statement unnecessary as it is obviously that the president is placing the life of the retired general above over 82 other people that lost their lives in the incident. Punch reports that Dokubo made it known that the utterance of the president is tantamount to making just one insignificant Nigerian uncessarily important at the expense of many others who lost their lives.

Nigeria is on the verge of a break up - Bishop Oyedepo says

Speaking recently on the spate of bombings and attacks in the country, GO of the Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo said that Nigeria is on the verge of a break up. 

"I hope that we are willing to find solution to it. I would be the last person in this world to believe that government has not discovered those who are behind Boko Haram. Otherwise, we don’t have any intelligence service in our country. Are they sacred cows that cannot be brought to book? Until we cut the source of their supplies and get those who are involved, we cannot stop them. But the danger is this, and I must say it here, we are at the verge of a break up. That is the truth. It’s unfortunate. The Nigerian nation is too intelligent to claim not to have discovered those who are behind this. So, I really believe it’s all in the hands of the authorities to decide whether they want to confront the issue headlong or to keep watching it until Nigeria breaks up......All that the church can do is to pray. The church is not in power, it has no political power. And when invited, we give advice, when required or called upon. You can’t call someone and say can I advise you?" - Bishop David Oyedepo

Beyonce And Jay Z - Beyonce and Jay Z to bring 'On The Run' tour to UK

Beyonce and Jay Z are still working on bringing their 'On The Run' tour to the UK before the end of the year.

Beyonce and Jay Z want to bring their 'On The Run' tour to the UK.

The superstar and her rapper husband - who kicked off their tour at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens last month - are said to be planning to add a final UK date to their schedule which is currently set to end with a two-night stint at the Stade de France in Paris, this September.
It is believed the performance will take place in London in Autumn with tickets for the surprise show becoming available just weeks before the event.
A source told The Sun newspaper: ''Jay Z and Beyonce will play a stadium in Britain, probably in London, before the autumn.

''It needs to be a stadium because of the scale of the production.

''It could be the case that there will be just weeks between tickets going on sale and the event.''
News of the additional tour date follows on from weeks of speculation that the couple's marriage is in crisis.
Beyonce, 32 and Jay Z, 44 - who have a two-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, together - were previously said to be only seeing one another on stage by travelling separately and staying in different hotel rooms.

A source said: ''They might be sharing a stage, but while on tour they'll live practically separate lives.
''Tensions between them are worse than ever, meaning they will be travelling between venues independently, staying in different hotel suites and even having separate entourages.
''They'll also have individual dressing rooms, so the only times they'll be together will be while they're performing.''

Remove the web and all its content from the world of today and our continents may be in commotion. That is how well our reliance on virtual space has become. Information and the speed at which it comes is the currency of the moment and nations that matter have a tab on happenings in cyberspace, using it for predictions and, where possible to increase the country’s Gross Domestic Product.

Online transactions are fast becoming the trend. Alexa ranking is the popular means of determining how well an online platform is doing. Alexa.com is the site where this measurement occurs and it would be a smart mischief to ask how Alexa itself is doing on alexa.com.

$1bn: B’Haram War Requires New Thinking, Says APC

Lai Mohammed

The All Progressives Congress has said new imaginative thinking and not money is what is required to effectively tackle the Boko Haram menace.

The party said this on Tuesday, while reacting to the Federal Government’s request for the approval of the National Assembly, for it to collect a $1bn loan.

According to the party, the same old way of doing things, which is what the Federal Government’s $1bn loan request represents, will not yield the desired results.

This was contained in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Abuja.

The party said while it was not opposed to procuring modern weapons and other needs for the military, it was of the view that government should complement the military campaign against Boko Haram with political, social and economic measures.

SW ARTICLE: 10 Reasons Why Men Loves Female Breasts

I have been having these random thought lately, and one of them is my mind wondering why men are so attached and fond of the female breasts so I decided to make research into it and what I found is the top ten reasons men love breasts but what do you think?

1. Breasts Are Great to Look At

Men love looking at the breasts for the very reason that they are great to look at. Whether they are small or big, breasts are one of the first things a man sees in a woman. Though it is offensive, but men can’t resist taking a peek!

2. Breasts Add Grace and Poise

Breasts are one of the few body parts which are curvaceous. Men don’t have any curves on their bodies, which makes being hard and straight a sign of masculinity. On the other hand, curviness is a symbol for womanhood which adds grace and poise to the way they carry themselves.

3. Breasts Represent Fertility

Since a long time back, it has been believed that men are attracted to women who are healthy and are able to reproduce. Breasts are a sign of fertility as they portray the notion that the woman would be able to bear children as well as nourish them. 

A$AP Rocky Sued for Allegedly Slapping Fans During Concert

---

A$AP Rocky is being sued by a woman whom he allegedly slapped during his set at last year's Made in America festival in Philadelphia. TMZ reports that the fan named Lisamarie Wade has filed a lawsuit against the rapper, saying that he smacked her for no apparent reason while he made his way through the crowd.

In the suit, Wade claims that the slap has made her unable to "enjoy society with her minor child as a young, single mother." She also states that Rocky has a long history of bad behavior, citing an incident where the MC slapped another female fan at his gig in Australia in June 2013.

Previously, Wade filed a criminal complaint not so long after Rocky slapped her last year. She eventually withdrew it when she couldn't locate him to serve him with the complaint. She is now suing for damages of at least $75,000. Rocky hasn't commented on the case yet.

Snoop Dogg Reveals He Smoked Weed in the White House

The 'Young, Wild and Free' hitmaker claimed that he smoked marijuana in the bathroom of the official residence of the U.S. president.

---

Snoop Dogg revealed in the latest episode of his web series "GGN" that he once smoked marijuana in the White House. Jimmy Kimmel, who appeared as a guest in the show, was the one who asked the 42-year-old rapper if he ever smoked weed in the official residence of the U.S. president.

Snoop told Jimmy, "(I've smoked) in the bathroom (of the White House). Not in the White House, but in the bathroom. I said (to the security guards), 'May I use the bathroom for a second?' And they said, 'What are you gonna do, Number One or Number Two?' I said, 'Number Two.' " When asked who was the person who said that to him, Snoop replied, "The CIA or the FBI, the alphabet boys."

"So I said, 'Look, when I do the Number Two, I usually, you know, have a cigarette or light something to get the aroma right,' " he continued, "And they said, 'Well you know what? You can light a piece of napkin.' And I said, 'I'll do that.' And the napkin was this." He then took a puff of a blunt.

After that, Jimmy laughed and said, "This is some story."

Snoop was not the first celebrity who ever claimed to have gotten high in the White House. Back in 2009, David Cross told Playboy magazine that he snorted coccaine during a dinner at the White House, adding that he was "maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!"

GaGa is currently in the North American leg of her "ArtRave: The Artpop Ball" which was launched to support her 2013 album "ARTPOP". She's hardly the first artist to have brought out a giant inflatable penis during her concerts.
