#Ebola - Liberian Minister Who Approved Patrick Sawyer's Travel To Nigeria Lashes Out At Critics

Sebastian Muah, the Liberian Deputy Finance Minister who approved for a sick Patrick Sawyer to travel to Nigeria, has refused to apologize, lashing out instead when vocal critics on Facebook blamed him for letting Sawyer, a staff of the Ministry of Finance, leave Liberia for the ECOWAS conference in Nigeria.

Soon after Patrick Sawyer's death last month, when a Facebook user, Omar Tariq asked him why he had approved Sawyer's travel plans, Sebastian Muah said he does not owe anyone an explanation.

He also said that Patrick Sawyer told him he already tested negative for Ebola and that Liberian health officials did not place him on the Ebola danger list. Muah insisted he wasn't late Sawyer's doctor to stop him from traveling.

#Ebola - Patrick Sawyer's Wife Defends Husband's Decision to Travel To Nigeria

Decontee Sawyer, the widow of late Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian who brought Ebola into Nigeria, has defended her husband’s decision to travel to Nigeria, even though he knew he may have Ebola.

She insists his decision was not a reckless one [The Liberian President declared Patrick's act reckless, while Nigerian President Jonathan called him a 'crazy man'] but an indictment on the healthcare system in Liberia.

She thinks her husband had no trust in getting good diagnosis and treatment from the doctors and nurses in his country, and had possibly headed to Nigeria with the hope of receiving better treatment. If you ask me, I think he was hoping he would make it to America. Unfortunately, Ebola doesn't work that way, and now we have three people dead from his actions, and scores sick.

Decontee shared her thoughts on her Facebook page:

Nurse Justina Ejelonu Who Came in Contact with Patrick Sawyer Dies at 25

25-year-old Obi Justina Ejelonu has died. She was one of the nurses who attended to Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, the first Ebola victim in Nigeria.

Sahara Reporters confirmed the story through a telephone call to her family. They say she passed away this morning.

Ejelonu was quarantine in Lagos, along with several others who had contact with Patrick Sawyer. Justina has spoken out about her experience and I was among the first to blog about the campaign for the Zmapp experimental drug to be sent to Nigeria using her comments and picture.

On The Importance of Quarantine - Patrick Sawyer Avoided Bodily Contact But Still Infected Dozens

It has been reported that a nurse, who had contact with Liberian Ebola victim Patrick Sawyer while he was in Hospital, fled quarantine in Lagos and went to her home in Enugu thereby putting 20 people at risk.

In the case of Patrick Sawyer, though he was supposed to be under surveillance because his sister had died of Ebola, he did not need to escape quarantine. The high-ranking ECOWAS staff was cleared to travel by his friend, who is a deputy minister in Liberia.

Sawyer felt he would not transmit the virus by simply avoiding bodily contact with people though he knew he could be ill with Ebola when he boarded the flight to Nigeria.

According to a  Liberian newspaper, which saw CCTV footage recorded at Monrovia Airport, Mr. Sawyer sat alone all through the time he was boarding the flight and avoided bodily contact with other passengers who were close to him at the boarding gate in Monrovia.

Stella Damasus Goes Back To Big Hair - Shows Off Super Massive Afro!

Stella Damasus has always had a preference for bigger curls for her hairstyles and when she started a wig collection, the line featured the same.

She continued the trend even after she relocated to the US. However, she switched to a sleeker look with straight wigs after she said she's been making the hair herself [see here].

Today, the actress showed off another hairstyle, a super massive mixed-color afro, which she also said she made and to those who don't like it, she insists she's very proud of the outcome.

I like Stella in big hair though this looks more like hairstyle for a stage performance than an everyday look. See more pictures below...

Creative Catering - How To Find The Perfect Menu For Your Wedding

By Helen Wallis

If there’s one element of your wedding that your guests will remember it’s the food. Along with the location, décor style and music, the catering will define the event. Cuisine gives you the opportunity to really show off your creativity; and if successful, will leave an ever-lasting impression on your guests.

Contemporary couples are fortunate to have many creative catering options at their fingertips; gone are the days when wedding caterers only served standard “banquet hall” fare that was more or less the same for each reception.

Due to a proliferation of cookbooks, food blogs and network shows about food available 24 hours a day, today’s brides and grooms are more knowledgeable about food than those in generation past. Caterers have responded and couples should have no problem finding a caterer who thinks and cooks creatively and who can offer unique suggestions based on the couple’s preferences.

Below are a few categories to get you thinking about how to make your wedding food fun, different and delicious!
