Another black unarmed teenager shot by a police officer in Missouri

This story doesn’t seem to surprise me, why didn’t the policeman radio the incident after he shot the teenager he claimed was struggling with him?

Anyways just read……..

The police officer who shot and killed black teenager Michael Brown on a street in Ferguson, St. Louis last Saturday August 9th has been named. His name is Darren Wilson and he's supposedly 'torn up' over the shooting. They are yet to release a pic of what the officer looks like.

Darren Wilson is said to be a six-year veteran of the Ferguson Police Department and has no history of disciplinary action. The police claim the officer was treated for injuries after the shooting. Officer Wilson claims Michael attacked him and struggled with him over his gun during the altercation. 

The Ferguson police chief in a press briefing today gave a timeline of the minutes leading up to the shooting on Saturday afternoon.

"At 11.48am, Officer Wilson was at an unrelated ‘sick call’ with an ambulance. At 11.51am, a 911 call came in reporting a 'strong-armed' robbery at a convenience store, which included a description of two suspects."

At 12.01pm, Officer Wilson made contact with Michael Brown who was walking with a friend.

A second officer arrived on scene immediately following the shooting. At 12.05pm, a supervisor arrived.

Chief Jackson said the ambulance that had been on the sick call responded to the shooting and provided medical assistance to Mr Brown - who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have said 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot dead after Officer Wilson encountered him and another man on the street. Police claim one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon. At least one shot was fired inside the car. The struggle then spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times.

 Witnesses have said the officer fired on Brown as he tried to run away. 18 year-old Michael had been due to start classes at Vatterott College this past Monday, two days before he was killed. Michael was walking, unarmed, from a convenience store with another man to his grandmother's apartment in Ferguson, when the police man confronted them.

Screw those Northern elders- Charles Novia

First was Chidi  Mokeme  on this issue,now Charles voices out too.....On Monday, Northern leaders declared that they are giving President Jonathan an ultimatum till the end of October to bring back the over 200 school girls abducted in the Chibok area of Borno state by Boko Haram and failure to do so means he is not fit to seek a re-election in 2015.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Doyin Okupe released a statement a day later, stating that the commander-in-chief does not need the threats by the faction to bring back the girls.
Opinionated Nigerian filmmaker Charles Novia is also speaking out on the topic.
Screw those so-called Northern Elders. Do they speak for a region or for their selfish interests? Mr President has a right to run again

Though the drug might not have been tested on human,the Canadian Public Health Agency has offered to release 1000 dose of a made-in-Canada experimental Ebola virus vaccine known as VSV-EBOV which has never been tested on humans but has shown to be effective in the treatment of the disease in animals.

The Minister also revealed that Canada will be donating $185,000 to the World Health Organization for the prevention and control of the deadly virus in Africa. Canada has only 1500 of the experimental vaccine and would be sending 1000 of it to Africa.

 "I was pleased to offer the experimental vaccine developed by Canadian researchers as a global resource to help fight this outbreak," she said, adding that between 800 and 1,000 doses would be donated to the WHO. The Minister in the statement added that "Canada feels this experimental vaccine is a global resource, so in response we are sharing it with the international community, while keeping a small supply in Canada."

The news comes hours after the World Health Organization said a panel of experts advised that it would be ethical to use untested drugs and vaccines in this raging epidemic, which is several times larger than any previous outbreak.

Ebola spread since 2013 started with a 2yr old boy in Guinea

Emails flooding my box to stop writing about Ebola that it is too much for  most people to bear......hmmm but how do we get informed....I have to keeping posting on this because it is a big concern to everyone whether home or abroad.

The virus spread from the Southern Guinea village to other parts of Africa after villagers from Sierre Leone and Liberia, who share a border with the village, attended the grandmother's burial. Two of the funeral attendees fell ill and the virus spread from their families to their villages and to health care workers and family members taking care of patients. And one Patrick Sawyer brought it to Nigeria.!
How the child became infected is a biggest mystery as scientist who have traced the the outbreak this time say they don't know how the toddler got infected.

So far, 960 people have died from the virus while 1,779 people have been infected...

Meanwhile the picture above t is the Ebola Isolation Centre in Yaba, Lagos .
God help us all, IJN amen

Adaeze Yobo has something to get off her chest

The drug is being administered to the priest at the Madrid’s La Paz-Carlos III hospital where he is in isolation,the Spanish government confirmed.
Some people did not find this funny.the likes of Juliet Ibrahim. She took to her instagram page. Remember,Nigeria's request for the drug was turned down by the US. And according to WHO,the Vaccine may only be ready in 2015.

This is what she stated on her instagram page
    : "Nigeria asked for the Zmapp drug and was refused the drug! Now Spanish priest who is now back home safely yet suffering from Ebola; Spanish government request for the exact same drug and they are getting the drug to cure him! Africans! Africans! Africans! I said der is more to dis dat meets d eye! Educate urselves and remember right now prevention is better than cure! This is no time for ignorance to take over us if our leaders are joking with this let's not joke about this. #ebolaawareness it is real. God be with us all"

Nigerians need to walk with Dr.Iwu-Bitter Kola and Ebola

This is a must read,hopefully something good will come out of this.
According to Health Minister…..talking about Dr. Maurice Iwu’s thesis regarding bitter kola and Ebola (Iwu said Kolanut could cure Ebola - based on research), Nigerian Health Minister Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu said the government is considering making laws to arrest people who make bogus claims to have a cure for Ebola, and said Nigeria needs to work with Dr. Iwu. The Minister said todld Vanguard
Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu
"One of the things we decided to focus on by setting up that committee is to streamline claims of possible scientific cure, not a situation where pastors and imams claim  they can cure Ebola.   We might even go to the extent of making laws to arrest people with such bogus claims. We would take every suggestion seriously. About Professor Iwu, we know that quite a number of Nigerians accessed his article through the internet. Continue
What Professor Iwu and his research team proved in America is that in the laboratory test-tube – not in an animal or a human being –  bitter kola extract was able to hinder the growth of Ebola virus, that it was able to slow it down or kill it. That research was not concluded according to Professor Iwu himself and he says he is disappointed that the research was not taken to its logical conclusion.

We need now to work with him and that is why we need him.   He is a distinguished world renowned professor of pharmacognosy; and he is someone we value in this country because of his professionalism and working with others; we would be able to put all ideas to the test and see how far we go. This is a serious business.
