Fiction - Please Come Home To Me

By Nnamdi Okose

It hadn’t started raining everyday…

It hadn’t started raining everyday when you left or I did not notice. There was little I noticed when you were in the room. I liked pretending, eye glasses pinned low on tip of nose, flipping through Mancur Olsen’s book on stagflation. But my mind was always far from economics or anything else whenever you were there.

You never saw me peeking at the stretch marks etched across your buttocks like the scratch marks of a cat. As you bounded across the room wearing nothing but different coulours of that leopard spotted panties I liked so much but didn’t tell you; I wondered if you knew how seamlessly the stretch marks complimented those leopard spots…

I guess I never told you a lot. Like all the things I liked about you. The way you rubbed your eyes furiously when they itched. The way your smile grew so wide it was difficult not to smile with you.

Beyonce Under Fire For Photoshop Fail

When Beyonce shared the photo above, it quickly went viral but for all the wrong reasons. You see, someone had noticed that the phone, couch and the wine glass in the image look kinda warped and they concluded that could only have happened in the photoshop process to make her thighs look slimmer.

It is possible that Beyonce used one of the widely available photo editing apps but the job wasn’t well done and that is why it's so obvious, but many are asking why she feels the need.

Some months go, Beyonce had also been slammed for altering her thighs to put in a gap as seen in the picture below...

Another Lagos Doctor Tests Positive For Ebola And FG Postpones Resumption of Schools

A doctor who attended to late Patrick Sawyer at the First Consultant Hospital has been confirmed positive with the Ebola virus. Speaking at a news conference today, the Nigerian Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu said the doctor is currently undergoing treatment at the quarantine centre in Lagos.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has reportedly approved the extension of the current holiday of primary and secondary schools across the country until further notice. NewTelegraph reports that the development, government stated, is part of measures to curb the spread of Ebola.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Youth and Students Matters, Comrade Jude Imagwe, who disclosed the postponement of school resumption in Abuja yesterday did not state how long the students would be on holiday.

On Nano Silver - Questions For Nigerian Health Officials, What Are They Hiding?

In disclosing that Nigeria received an experimental drug called Nano Silver on Thursday, the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu said it came from a Nigerian scientist, but refused to give a name.

This should be good news, that there is now a drug to try to treat the eight Nigerians who have tested positive for Ebola, but the Minister not giving the name of the Nigerian researcher in the Diaspora who offered the Nano Silver drug made me ask, why the secrecy?

It is instructive to note that soon after the Nigerian announcement, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began to warn of products that fraudulently claim to prevent or treat Ebola.

Erica Jefferson, a spokeswoman for the FDA, said she could not provide any information about the product referenced by the Nigerians.

Get The Facts About Nano Silver, The First Experimental Treatment For Ebola In Nigeria

As disclosed by the Minister of Health, Nano Silver is the first experimental treatment for the Ebola Virus to get to Nigeria for use of patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Lagos.

Ig you're like me, this is possibly the first time you're hearing about Nano Silver. So what do you need to know about it? After I posted this blog update yesterday, I was contacted by a US Doctor who has sent a letter introducing Nano Silver to Nigeria. She wrote;

As the medical doctor who wrote that Ebola was inactivated by Nano Silver to the President of Nigeria and the Minister of Health as well as the Presidents and Ministers of Heath of the other afflicted nations, I would be delighted to be contacted by you so that you can publish the full picture about how Nano Silver can be used for health promotion in Ebola and beyond it.

I have contacted Dr. Rima Laibow with some questions, and while I wait for her repy, I read through her website and research conclusions she provides about Nano Silver and the efficacy against Ebola.

Ebola Patients And Contacts In Quarantine Are Neglected And Poorer Ones Discriminated

As the number of Ebola victims in Nigeria increased to 4 with the death of Justina Ejelonu, and a female doctor was confirmed to have the disease yesterday, the unsatisfactory situation of the  patients and suspected cases in isolattion is beginning to come to light.

An exclusive RML source close to those who had access to Justina Ejelonu before her death sent this to me;

Very sad. We did a lot to save her. She complained oxygen was being supplied to only the big wigs there and we sent two yesterday. 8 cylinders more were on their way today before she died. We made sure water was reconnected in the facility after it went off, and we increased pressuring the govt. We wrote to the minister and introduced a researcher on nanaosilver. They made contact and ordered it. The drug was ordered from US and is also on its way with a doctor and will arrive today.  I was so sure she was going to scale through. It's heartbreaking. I'll send you more info later

Kim Kardashian On Finding Her Voice With Marriage And Motherhood

Kim Kardashian has opened up on being outspoken since she had a daughter and got married to probably the most outspoken man in showbiz. She told People magazine;

'I think when you have a baby there's like no time for any like shit. 'Excuse my language. You don't have time for it and sometimes I see things and I'm like, "I'm not gonna let that slide. This person was wrong" or whatever.

'I'm feeling I speak my mind a little bit more after I've had our daughter. I don't know if it's a combination of being married to someone that's superhonest and open and says whatever he wants whenever he wants to or just not having time really for anything else but the truth and just being real."
