STOP Using Chloroquine, Artesunate For Malaria Treatment – WHO Warn Nigerians

The World Health Organisation had
placed a global ban on the use of
chloroquine and Artesunate in 2005.
Nigerians have been advised against the
use of Chloroquine and Artesunate for
the treatment of malaria.
Nnenna Ezeigwe, National Coordinator,
National Malaria Control Programme,
gave the advice in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in
Abuja.
She, however, recommended that people
should take only Artemisinin Combination
Therapy, ACTs, when they test positive for
malaria.
“If your test result is positive, take only
Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACTs).
Do not treat malaria with chloroquine,
artesunate or other monotherapies.
“The ACT with green leaf is good quality
and affordable; Ask for it,’’ she said.
When contacted, Adeline Osakwe, Deputy
Director, Pharmacovigilance, Food and
Drugs Information Centre, NAFDAC, said
the use of chloroquine and artesunate in
Nigeria was being gradually phased out.
“Since 2005, the use of monotherapies
such as Artesunate, Chloroquine had
been discouraged in favour of
Aretmisinin Combination Therapy (ACT)
for uncomplicated malaria.
“These ACTs include Arthemeter/
Lumenfantrine, Artesunate/Amodiaquine,
and other registered ones. Ms. Osakwe
said that the monotherapies are gradually
being phased out by not registering new
ones and not renewing those that their
licenses had expired.”
The World Health Organisation, WHO, had
placed a global ban on the use of
chloroquine and Artesunate in 2005.
Speaking on the World Malaria Day
celebration, Ms. Ezeigwe advised
pregnant women to register early for
ante-natal care in order to receive
preventive treatment against the disease.
“Expectant mothers should demand for
preventive treatment, `Intermittent
Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy (IPTp)’
during ante-natal visits from 16 weeks of
pregnancy,’’ she said.
She said that the Federal Government and
Roll Back Malaria partners had over the
last decade committed huge resources to
ensure that malaria was brought under
control.
She said that the efforts had led to a
reduction in malaria prevalence by more
than eight per cent, adding that much
more needed to be done.
Ms. Ezeigwe called on the private sector,
the media, and the academia to play
active roles in the fight against Malaria.
“It is only working together that we can
end the needless suffering and deaths
caused by Malaria.
“Keep your environment clean and free of
puddles, and always sleep inside long
lasting insecticide treated nets.
“Wear protective clothing against
mosquitoes when necessary, and always
get tested before you treat for Malaria,’’
she said.

Fan Tries To Rape Nollywood Actress Angela Okorie In South Africa?

I got plenty mails from some guys in
South Africa who wanted me to expose
Angela Okorie as a thief. They sent me
pics, police phone numbers, details of
what supposedly happened over there
but I didn't touch the story because I
suspected they were just trying to mess
this lady up...and according to her own
version of things, that's exactly what
happened.
Actress Angela Okorie was arrested and
detained for a day in South Africa last
weekend for allegedly stealing $3,200
from a friend's home. Reacting to the
story to Yes! Magazine, Angela says it was
all blackmail from a friend/fan named
Prosper, whose sexual advances she
turned down and whose stock in trade is
to extort money from Nigerians who go to
South Africa for project. Find her account
of what happened after the cut...
Angela tells Yes Magazine...
"I left Nigeria for South Africa to shoot my
movie, Nwa Abakaliki in South Africa on
Monday April 7 2014 with Prince Ekeh,
Muma Gee's husband. I paid for his flight
and accommodation from Port Harcourt
to Lagos and from Lagos to South Africa.
Then at a point, I decided to move to a
hotel so as to give him space and a friend
of mine called M.K said I should come
over to her place at North Gate Estate
where I can pay less for my
accommodation because she has a 3
bedroom flat. So I moved in and met a
friend of mine called Prosper who is
actually one of my biggest fans in her
place. But he was also living in a separate
room with the lady. As time went on, this
guy started disturbing me for sex. He said
he liked me and would not mind having
an affair with me. But I told him I am
married with a child but he would not let
me be. It got to a stage he went to hire a
car to take me around so as to aid my
production but I never gave in to his
demand for sex. Then on good Friday,
April 18th, I was in my room and didn't
bother locking my room door.
Prosper came in and tried to rape me but
I told him that I am ready to kill and go to
jail if he ever tried it. After much sweet
words and threats, he left me alone and I
moved out of the house to Hilton Hotel,
Sandton that day. On Sunday, April 19th,
Prince Eke called me that Prosper and
some people were coming to meet me at
the hotel and I said no problem. Unknown
to me, he was coming with about three
policemen. I opened the door for them
but to my greatest surprise, Prosper said
that I stole his 32,000rand which is about
$3,200. I was surprised because that to
me is ridiculous. How can I steal such
money when I paid for Prince Ekeh's flight
and accommodation which amounts to
about $4,000 dollars, not to talk of
myself? I was taken to honeydew from
where I was moved to Ranburg Police
station in Johannesburg on Saturday April
19th and was released the following day,
being April 20, 2014, Easter Sunday.
Why I am sad about the whole blackmail
is that it was after my release that I got to
know that Prosper's job in South Africa is
to con and defraud new Nigerians in S.A.
He would identify strangers who have
come with money for a project and offer
to assist. Afterwards, he would call the
policemen who are also working with him
to defraud the innocent people, claiming
to have done something for them or that
they stole his money. He picked on me
because he knows I am a celebrity and
would not want to soil my name. I was
seriously embittered when I later learnt
that Prince Ekeh harbored him in the
house I left for him to stay and that he
was on the run because I vowed to take
the matter in the law court for
defamation of character. When the issue
became serious, they started begging me,
sending different set of people to beg me
but I promised them to show them the
other side of me because I have not been
able to complete my movies since then.
Prince Ekeh was even threatening to shoot
me; that why would I be telling my friends
about the incident and also queried the
policemen who gave me my passport.
Prince is an ingrate. I paid for his ticket
from Port Harcourt to Lagos and from
Lagos to South Africa to help him and his
family because his wife, Muma Gee has
been the only one assisting his career
and all he could pay me with is this cheap
blackmail. He was not even happy that my
passport was released to me. I keep
asking myself why? What does he want to
achieve? Anyway, I have told him and his
accomplice who tried to rape and
blackmail me that I am taking this up in a
reputable law court" she said

“My BØØbs Make Only A Man With Guts To Approach Me” – Cossy Orjiakor

The controversial actress and singer
revealed to the Punch: -
“Most men notice my b**bs when they
meet me for the first time. They touch
each other, arguing whether or not they
are real. It will take a man with a lot of
guts to walk up to me and approach me.
But I believe in marriage and hope to
eventually marry and have kids of my
own.”
She also talks about future plans to
collaborate with her mum: -
“I have a studio in the house and I have
been told I have a good voice. My mum
did not contribute to the scoring of the
songs on my album even though we were
supposed to work on a song together. She
works with the Immigration Service so she
has no time. But when we eventually do,
it has to be a very good song, probably a
mother and daughter song.”.

SEE Photos Of First Threesome Married Lesbian Couple In The World

Wonder they say never ends , having
Lesbian threesome couple sounds odd
and strange, but we are in the world thats
full of wonders. Doll, Kitten & Brynn, from
Massachusetts USA, who were joined
together in a marriage-style ceremony in
August 2013, are expecting their first
child, as reported by UK Daily Mail .
The world's only 'married' lesbian
threesome are expecting a daughter in
July. Kitten, 27, (pictured left) is pregnant
after undergoing IVF treatment using an
anonymous sperm donor, and the trio
eventually plan to have three children -
one for each of them.
The plan at the moment is that Kitten will
bear all the children - possibly using her
wives' eggs and donated sperm - but they
are open to other options, such as
adoption.
Brynn, 34, says: 'The hope is to have three
kids altogether. We always joke that the
children should never outnumber the
parents.'
Doll, Kitten and Brynn Young married in a
ceremony in August 2013, when each of
their fathers walked them down the aisle.
All three women wore white wedding
gowns and exchanged rings.
The so-called 'throuple' worked with a
specialist family lawyer who drew up the
paperwork and drafted the ceremony so
that all three of them were obligated and
bound to each other.
While Brynn and Kitten are legally
married, Doll is handfasted to both so the
threesome are as equally married to each
other as legally possible.
Doll, 30, says: 'As far as we know, there
aren't any other three women who are
married like us.'
It was back in 2009 that Brynn first met
Doll through an online dating site. Senior
Software Designer and Engineer, Brynn
had been married twice before to women
and both experiences had made her
acknowledge that monogamous
relationships weren't for her.
Meanwhile Fashion Designer, Doll had
known that she was polygamous since
high school. She explains: 'I had always
dated girls - who although they had
boyfriends or girlfriends - were also
allowed to date me.
'I never thought that much about it and I
had never really 'come out' as poly to my
friends and family. To me, it was just how
I was.'
Brynn and Doll dated for eight months
before moving in together. Two years
later, they purchased a house together.
Having both enjoyed polygamous
relationships before, Doll and Brynn
looked for a third woman to join them.
After a few failed liaisons, Doll and Brynn
created an OKCupid couple's profile.
Eventually, they received a message from
Kitten.
Before meeting Doll and Brynn, Kitten
had been in two long-term relationships
with men. Her first relationship lasted ten
years and she had been engaged to her
second boyfriend.
Fashion Manager, Kitten says: 'My second
boyfriend and I had been together for
several years but a few months before
our wedding, he called the whole thing
off without explanation. At first, I was
distraught but now, I'm grateful for what
he did.
'The whole break-up forced me to really
think about who I was and I realised that
I had not been honest to myself. On
reflection, I realised that I hadn't been
happy in my previous monogamous
relationships and I discovered that I was
poly.
'I set up an OKCupid profile for myself
and began dating an awesome woman
with the happy consent of her husband.
They were a lovely couple but we ended
the relationship after I had to move away.
'Soon after that amicable break-up, I
came across Doll's and Kitten's OKCupid
profile and saw they were looking for a
third member to join their 'Super Hero
Group'.'
Doll, Brynn and Kitten went for dinner at
a Chinese Restaurant for their first date
and immediately liked each other.
Doll says: 'There was an instant attraction
with Kitten but I think we all really
bonded when we baked cookies together
on our fourth date. I didn't know what
love was until the three of us clicked like
that.'
Brynn adds: 'With Doll and Kitten, things
finally made sense. It was as if the puzzle
was finally complete with all three pieces.'
Within a few months, Kitten moved in
with Doll and Brynn. Two years later, they
decided to get married after Kitten
proposed the idea to them.
Kitten says: 'I had always wanted to get
married and I guess Doll and Brynn
indulged my wishes! I had a very
traditional upbringing and marriage had
always been an important symbol of
commitment for me. We wanted to
celebrate our love in a wedding like
everyone else.'
The threesome insist their relationship is
like that of any normal couple: having
breakfast with one another, watching TV
after work and sharing a bed together
Doll says: 'The only difference is that
communication is a lot more difficult for
us than others. There are three people so
our relationship takes detailed scheduling
- everything we do goes on the calendar!
'Whilst communication is tricky,
household chores are a lot easier with
three people! You can slack off on your
errands and another person can pick
them up.'
Brynn adds: 'Each of us has our own
allocated chores and roles - I like to think
of us a romantic committee. In our
relationship, I'm the traditional
breadwinner. I work a forty hour week
and make the majority of the family's
income.
'Doll does the cooking and Kitten does
the cleaning. Sometimes, Kitten also helps
me with my hair and make-up before I go
to work.'
The threesome spent several date nights
planning their dream wedding - making
decorations and shopping for matching
traditional, white gowns.
Brynn says: 'Planning our wedding was
hectic. It took a lot more organizing
because there were three brides involved.
Kitten, Brynn and Doll had to work with
the legalities of the state to get married to
each other. As being married to more
than one person is not currently legal,
they had to combine handfasting, legally
binding documents and legal marriage.
A family lawyer drew up paperwork - in
terms of assets, wills and legal rights to
children - to bind them all together as
much as they could without an actual
three way marriage.

No Second Coming Of Jesus Christ, He Probably Was Drunk When He Made That Promise In John 14:1-3 – Vatican

The spokesperson for the Vatican officially
announced some days ago that the
second coming of Jesus, the only son of
the God, may not happen now after all,
but urged followers to still continue with
their faith, regardless of the news.
Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that
this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the
Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the
Lord to return to Earth.
“We just feel Jesus is not coming back by
the looks of it.” he said. “It’s been ages
like. He’s probably flat out doing other
really good things for people somewhere
else.”
Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus
promised his disciples that he would
come again in chapter John 14:1-3 of the
bible: “There are many homes up where
my Father lives, and I am going to
prepare them for your coming. When
everything is ready, then I will come and
get you, so that you can always be with
Me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would
tell you plainly”
The Vatican defended Jesus’ broken
promise, claiming “he was probably
drinking wine” at the time when he made
the comments.
“Having the ability to turn water
into wine had its ups and its
downs.” added Cardinal Salvadore.
“We all make promises we can’t
keep when we’re drunk. Jesus was
no different.”
The church said it will now focus
attentions on rebuilding its reputation
around the world, but will keep an
optimistic mind for the savior’s second
coming.
