AKWA IBOM RECORDS HIGH RATE OF HIV INFECTION



The Medical Director, Universal Medicare Foundation, Oseikhuemen Ejele, has expressed concerns about the rising incidence of HIV/AIDS in Akwa Ibom State. According to him, the test conducted on 77 people in the state, showed that four of them had been infected by the HIV. Which leaves the state with a 5.1 per cent prevalence rate against the 4.1 national rate.  

In just one state? That's quite a high percentage. My people, biko, this a totally preventable deadly disease, enough has been said about using protection when having sex and also, be careful around sharp objects that have been used by others. Let's bring this number down to 0 out of 77. A word is enough for the wise.

UPCOMING FEMALE ARTISTE BRUTALLY STABBED BY LANDLORD'S SON

 Upcoming Nigeria female singer Tiwa Banks was allegedly stabbed by one of her landlord’s sons identified as Tobi Obadina, yesterday. According to a close friend of the artiste, Tiwa and Tobi had a misunderstanding during the day but Tobi  waited till night to attack her. He allegedly badged into her apartment, which is located around Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos State, broke a bottle on her head  and  stabbed her with the broken bottle as well as her brother and a neighbor who met Tobi at the scene. Tiwa was in a pool of blood while she was rushed to the hospital by some of her neighbors.

A friend of Tiwa says Tobi, who is feared in the neighborhood because he terrorizes residents, has been boasting since the incident saying he cannot be arrested because he is the son of an ex-officer. I hope his ass is arrested and prosecuted. The police shouldn't wait until thugs like this kill before they are arrested and prosecuted.

LADIES, D'BANJ IS NOT SINGLE

 

D' banj, 31, said  this during a live interview at the ‘Tymeout With Tee A’ concert on Saturday, 1st December. He is in a relationship contrary to the general assumption that he isn’t. He is definitely doing a great job of keeping it under wraps.

‘Even when I tell them I’m single, they don’t believe. So these days, I tell them what they want to hear. I mean look at me, at the stage, would you expect that I won’t be seeing anyone?’ He said. What a shame. #sadface#

7 YEAR-OLD BOY MUTILATED WHILE TRYING TO MAIM HIM SO HE CAN EARN MORE AS A BEGGAR

This story brought tears to my eyes as did the movie 'Slum Dog Millionaire' but worse because it happened for real. A seven-year-old boy was grabbed from the street by strangers to maim him so he would elicit more sympathy working for them as a beggar. But when he recognised the men from his area and told them he would report them to his father, they decided to torture him, cutting off his penis and leaving him for dead on the streets of Bangladesh. 

 In some South Asian countries, the prevalence of 'beggar mafias' is becoming increasingly common. The practice was portrayed in the 2008 movie Slumdog Millionaire, in which a child in Mumbai, India, is intentionally blinded so he could bring in more money. Pls continue to read after the cut...

PIC OF THE DAY

She's feeding two tiger cubs with her breast milk! Hla Htay, 40, a wet nurse who works at the Yangon Zoological Gardens in Burma said she felt sorry for the animals and was willing to offer her breast milk until the cubs grew teeth. WTH?
