#Ebola;Heartbreaking Tale of Nurse Justina Ejelonu's Agonising last days+ how her Fiance survived Ebola

Justina Ejelonu was one of the  nurses that attended to Nigeria's Ebola Index case the late Patrick Sawyer. Her Fiance Dennis Akagha narrates how it all started,her last painful days and how he survived after he had been infected in this Vanguard Interview..

Excerpts

"He and his wife-to-be had lofty dreams of living fulfilled lives and raising wonderful children together. The fiance was two months pregnant and their traditional marriage had been fixed for October.

His fiancee, a graduate nurse, had just secured a job at First Consultant Hospital, Lagos. He too also just got a marketing job with an oil and gas company. She was reluctant to go to work on the first day she was expected to resume on account of ‘morning sickness’ (pregnancy symptoms) and he encouraged her.

She did! Lo and behold, her first duty and first patient to nurse on her first day at work was the late Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American, who brought the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) to Nigeria. And that decision put a full stop to the lofty dreams of a promising family. Welcome to the world of Mr. Dennis Akagha, the husband-to-be of late Miss Justina 

His thoughts on Ebola and late Justina
The truth is that Justina and I were not legally married, we were planning for our traditional marriage in October and she just got this job. She was a qualified graduate nurse and got the job at the First Consultant Hospital in Lagos. She resumed duty at the hospital on the 21st of July, while Patrick Sawyer was admitted at the hospital on the 20th.

He was her first patient. She was one of the nurses that nursed him. She was pregnant and so her immune system was weak, which made it easy for her to contract the disease.

Dear Omoni Oboli where was this white dress when you choose to wear a "blue boobful" dress for your state house movie screening??





I mean I just have to ASK! where was this white dress Omoni?? This would have been appropriate and she would have gotten kudos from people on how good,decent and still very beautiful she looked but NO! Omoni chose something else..

And what is so special about the Movie Being Mrs Elliot that our Ministry of health even has to brand Hand Sanitizers with the Film Title??

Half of a yellow sun or October 1 would have been appropriate in my opinion..but what do I know.. Our President dint even choose to screen a movie about our Independence he choose a romantic comedy??

"Tiwa Savage and Seyi Shay should be scared of me" I Influenced Majority of the female artists - May7ven


May7ven is Veteran footballer Segun Odegbami's daughter who has embraced music fully.

 She recently  opened up in an interview with NETng that she  is the pioneer and pathfinder for new school female pop divas.

 May7ven says she’s not scared of the competition at all. ‘I never see it as a competition’ she explains. ‘I know when I started, I know why a lot of females are now here.

 The likes of Seyi Shay and Tiwa Savage were all with me in London when I did ‘Bo Aso Lara mi’, so I influenced majority of them to be doing what they are doing now. 

                                        

There always has to be a leader, someone who starts and creates things, and that’s how I see myself already. So the style I’m doing now, I guarantee you in another two years you’ll find another set of Tiwa Savage doing what I’m doing. I’ve always been an innovator and you can interview any of them, they’ll tell you the same thing so they maybe threatened that I’m around and not the other way round’. It’ll interest you to know that May7ven once managed Tiwa Savage many years back in the UK. 

                                         

‘Yea, we grew up together. She was in my younger sister’s class, I’m a year older than both of them and there was this competition we were part of, I was 12 years old at the time, and I managed the group and sang with them as well, we were five girls in the group and we came out joint winners with a male group. 

I managed the group till we were about 16. I have everything on film and one day I’ll possibly leak the videos (laughs), but I remember Tiwa was always singing, out of all of us, she sang the most while I was more focused on singing and dancing at the same time, she’s always been passionate about music’ she said. 


Speaking on her relationship with Tiwa savage at the moment, May7ven said, ‘We still talk, when I’m in town I call her, when she’s in London they come to see me. We are not tight as in calling ourselves every day, the music business we are in doesn’t allow us to do that, but we are still cool, I’m her older sister’.... 



#Ebolaupdate; Senegal records first case of Ebola

Senegal Ebola
Senegal's health Minister..

Awa Marie Coll Seck, Senegal's Minister of Health has confirmed the country's first case of Ebola today Friday 29th August 2014 

The minister at a press briefing made it known that a male university student from Guinea, travelling to the country with the disease, was the index case. He went to a hospital in Dakar, the country's capital, on Tuesday, though doctors did not know that he was infected as he  concealed that he had had close contact with Ebola victims in his home country.

By Wednesday, a disease surveillance team in Guinea alerted authorities that they lost contact with a person who had been under watch after contact with sick persons three weeks prior. 

They suspected the young man was the missing person, eventually tracking him to the hospital in Dakar.

 Guinean authorities said the student from the Guinean capital, Conakry, had disappeared three weeks ago while under surveillance for having  had close contact with Ebola victims

 He was immediately quarantined, and is said to be in "satisfactory" condition. At this time they do not know how the young man entered the country.

Senegal is now the fifth West African country affected by the EbolaVirus Disease outbreak coming behind Guinea,Liberia,Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Comedienne Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess opened up in a recent Punch interview about her marriage which went awry just after 7 months.

Princess says in reality it actually lasted for less than a month!

Excerpts..

👇👇

"Why did you suddenly decide to go and study French?

I have always been interested in learning languages, even our own Nigerian languages. For my profession, there is no limit to knowledge. You don’t know where the job might take you.

You have been in the industry for some time now, how has it been?

It has been okay. We have been managing by the grace of God. But last year, I was a bit down. I was in the hospital for some time and I needed to get myself together again physically and otherwise before I start running up and down again.

What was wrong with you?

We thank the Lord for His mercies.

You didn’t say what was wrong with you that you had to be hospitalised?

But you already know. We thank the Lord. The most important thing is that I am alive and better. I appreciate life more. But this one you are asking, e no reach make I sick? After my husband left after our wedding, was it not enough reason for me to be sick? Ah! The Lord is our strength.
