"I can't stand it. I can't sleep." Patrick Sawyer's mother on the loss of two children

 
Georgia Nah, late Liberian-American’s mother, Patrick Sawyer’s mother is yet to come to terms with her children, Patrick and Princess and Patrick’s death. Few weeks before he came to Nigeria, July 6 to be precise, Patrick, 40, had visited his 27 year-old sister, Princess Nyuennyue, who was hospitalised in Liberia. A day after his visit, Princess died. Hospital officials never tested her for Ebola until her death and along the line, Patrick didn’t know he was exposed to the virus.
Daily Mail learns that Mr Sawyer, who worked for the Liberian Finance Ministry, was planning to return home to Coon Rapids, Minnesota, for two of his daughters’ birthdays in August but fell ill on a flight from Liberia in West Africa.
Though his sister had since been buried in Liberia, Mrs Nah who resides in Philadelphia wants to see a proof of his death. She told NB10, “I can’t stand it. I can’t sleep. Every day I think about them. I didn’t even know she was sick. My children were good children. At least send me something. To know that here are the death certificates, the results of the Ebola. I don’t have anything.”.

AFCON 2015: "It was wrong to leave Iheanacho out of the list."- Babayaro

Mixed reactions have continued to trail Eagles 23-man list for the AFCON 2015 qualifiers. Honourable Sabo Babayaro, The father of Nigerian sport legends, Emmanuel and Celestine Babayaro believes that the exclusion of Manchester City youngster, Iheanacho was not appropriate adding that he could contribute immensely to the squad.

He told SL10, “I think it was wrong to leave Iheanacho out, for two reasons, first of all his performances during Man City tour of USA should have earned him a spot in the team. Secondly, it would have been a wise idea to include him in the Eagles rooster because when he turns 18, Man City will have a strong case in using the special talent rule to get him a work permit.

“They will argue that a 17-year-old in the senior national team of Africa’s champion deserves to be termed special and of course integrate him now so he can get the 75% national team game required by foreigners to play in the Premier League.

“I think it was an oversight but it can still be corrected because in the past Kanu and co were stars at the Under-17 and they were integrated early into the Super Eagles.

Below is the full list of invited players:

Goalkeepers: Vincent Enyeama (Lille OSC, France); Austin Ejide (Hapoel Be’er Sheva, Israel); Chigozie Agbim (Gombe United, Nigeria)

Defenders: Elderson Echiejile (Monaco FC, France); Juwon Oshaniwa (Ashdod FC, Israel); Efe Ambrose (Celtic FC, Scotland); Godfrey Oboabona (Rizespor FC, Turkey); Azubuike Egwuekwe (Warri Wolves, Nigeria); Kenneth Omeruo (Middlesbrough FC, England); Kunle Odunlami (Sunshine Stars, Nigeria)

Midfielders: John Mikel Obi (Chelsea FC, England); Ogenyi Onazi (SS Lazio, Italy); Ramon Azeez (Almeria FC, Spain); Joel Obi (Inter Milan, Italy); Nosa Igiebor (Real Betis, Spain); Omatsone Aluko (Hull City, England)

Forwards: Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow, Russia); Emmanuel Emenike (Fenerbahce FC, Turkey); Chinedu Obasi (Schalke 04, Germany); Uche Nwofor (Heerenveen FC, Netherlands); Nnamdi Oduamadi (AS Varese 1910, Italy); Gbolahan Salami (Warri Wolves); Christian Osaguona (Enugu Rangers)

Tiwa Savage celebrates mum on birthday

Singer, Tiwa Savage showered encomiums on her mum who added a year to her age today. Below is what she wrote on her instagram page.
“During my high school days I was bullied for several years, I would get jumped on the bus, head flushed down the toilet and so on, it got so bad that I did something drastic and life threatening because I was so depressed. My mother was called to school on several occasions and each time she came she would ask to see the other students bullying me and would always pray for us all.

Of course they would joke and laugh but my mother was always so calm and reserved and she would take me home, cook me Naija food (we were living in london at the time) and she would make me realize how loved I was and how rich my culture is, how beautiful I am being a nigerian girl (I was bullied for being African, skinny, dark and I had a strong naija accent) what my mother didn’t do was fight, shout or argue with the other girls or their parents (who were at times very rude and disrespectful) Instead she showered me with love and reminded me where I was from.


One of the many reasons why she is my hero, my role model, biggest inspiration, my best friend, my mummy @celiasavage I celebrate you today on your birthday. Anyone that has met you has experience what a calm, shy, gentle but very hip mummy you are. The only doromegasupermummy on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook , keek etc lol I love you mummy, I love you with my soul.

Thinking of what you have done for me brings tears to my eyes. I only pray I can be half the mother you are to me to my children. I prayed to God this morning to grant us a couple more forevers. Happy Birthday Sexy mama

GhenGhen! Oba of Lagos says he would reveal some deep secrets after 2015 general elections.

The Oba of Lagos, Rilwanu Akiolu, during the public presentation of a book: “Corruption and Human Rights Law in Africa” yesterday said he would reveal some deep secrets after the 2015 general elections. The traditional ruler made the statement after the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade, said only two out of the country’s renowned monarchs corruption-free.

“I will shake this nation after the election in February. The man who made the statement that I lifted oil should cover his face in shame because I was still a serving police officer. Those who collected Abacha money know themselves and I will quote witnesses.
Let us stop apportioning blames, forget the past and work towards a better future for this country. Do not put 100 percent blame on President Goodluck Jonathan because the person who caused the problem knows himself”, Akiolu said.

Ebola: Woman breaks man's head with bottle for hugging her

I know we are all trying as much as possible to protect ourselves from contracting the deadly Ebola Virus Disease but easy does it. Going as far as hurting people physically might land us into more trouble.
A young lady identified as Bunmi reportedly picked up a bottle and broke it on the head of a young man named Demola Ojikutu for hugging her from behind without her consent. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital.
The incident happened around Ajah area of Lagos State yesterday.
Bunmi’s sister, Yemi who narrated the story said her sister had refused to shake anyone since she learnt of the EVD.
“We were discussing at Ilaje area when Ojikutu held her from behind. Bunmi was enraged and, out of anger, picked a bottle from a nearby beer parlour and smashed it on his head. Yes, I am not happy about what my sister did but the man was also wrong to have held her from behind, after all she is not his
lover.” Yemi added.
