For Ebola, an illness of exceptional contagion which first outbreak of the virus was in 1976, its origin traced to Congo and Sudan, cure for the dreaded disease seems to have been found in the United States (US).

Two American citizens in Liberia struck by the ailment while on medical missionary work, Nancy Writebol and Dr. Ken Brantly flown to the US to get treatment have improved tremendously, after being given the experimental drug.

The two Ebola victims, who had travelled 6,000 miles from West Africa in special aircraft, were admitted at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, are now getting much better. They were unable to walk on arrival, but are now doing so.

The report named the serum as ZMapp – an experimental drug, even not yet approved for clinical trials, although already used on small number of monkeys. It was grown in green house with genetically modified tobacco. So far, the drug is working well on the Ebola patients.

Manufactured by a US pharmaceutical company, ZMapp was supposed to hit the market in 2015, but is being tried because of the current deadly epidemic caused by the virus now ravaging Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea with nearly 900 people killed by the disease which has made inroad into Nigeria. With one person dead and eight people confirmed positive to Ebola, Africa’s most populous country could be fatally threatened.

The two Americans have reportedly got up on their own after the drug was administered on them, seen as a big surprise. They are already recovering.

Patients afflicted by Ebola are usually quarantined, going into isolation in the four West African countries where the disease is ravaging, well protected and temperatures taken twice a day.

The (US) plans to send 50 health experts to West Africa and help the health authorities in combating the scourge. Ebola is virtually out of control in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea as dozens of doctors and nurses have died in efforts to give medicare to victims.

Unlike Africa with poor ineffective and obsolete medical facilities, the US has top class infrastructure and medical personnel to take quick care of Ebola victims. Among these are the Centre for Disease Control, CDC, the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, IAID, and several others who are up to the challenge.

The experimental serum has brought some ray of hope to the global community including Nigeria.

The World Health Organisation has contributed $100 million to fighting Ebola and so too the World Bank, concerned about the spread and devastating effect of the scourge.

In a radio interview, Professor Oluyemi Akinloye, head of Clinical Chemistry, Medical Laboratory, University of Lagos, said only little has been done in Nigeria towards research for Ebola cure.

No magic in scientific Ebola cure. It’s a big challenge for Africa. No magic in scientific research, as there are protocols to be followed. Asked about the Ebola experimental drug, he seemed not aware of this development, but agreed that some vaccines have been produced in Nigeria and currently tested on mice which is quite good.

“The Ebola epidemic can be opportunity to test these vaccines and speed up trials in Africa. We are dealing with humans. Emphasis should be on precaution to control the spread. All scientists in Nigeria are coming together,” he stated.

Akinloye assured that physicians are talking, not doing so bad in fighting the epidemic. On Professor Maurice Iwu’s claim that bitter kola could be a remedy, he noted that this was still in experimental stage.

“Traditional medicine has its protocol and a lot still has to be done.” Other contributors to the radio programme lamented that it was shameful that since 1976, there has been no vaccine for Ebola. One of them asked what the Federal Government has been doing since the outbreak in Liberia, Sierra Leone, etc.

Chief Research Director, Research Institute of Traditional Medicine, Dr. Idowu, disclosed that research had been conducted on the virus. “We’ve gone to roots. In Yoruba, Ebola is called Ajakale-Arun, which is medicinal plant,” he stated. On whether bitter kola can cure Ebola, he said it had not been tried yet.

LONDON (AFP) – Jose Mourinho admits it will be impossible to find a replacement for Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.

Lampard was released by the Blues at the end of last season and has since signed for new MLS franchise New York FC, while also agreeing to play for Manchester City on loan until his new club start training in January.

The 36-year-old established himself as one of Chelsea’s all-time greats during his 13-year stay at Stamford Bridge, becoming the club’s record goalscorer and winning the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Mourinho knows Lampard’s departure has left a significant hole in his squad, and the Blues manager claims even new signing Cesc Fabregas won’t be able to replace the England international on his own.

Speaking to Rio Ferdinand for BT Sport, Mourinho said: “Frank is Frank, he is irreplaceable. No chance. “Fabregas is the player we need to modify a little bit the profile of our game. We want to give the next dimension to our game in midfield.

“But I think we can never say – in spite of Cesc, who is a fantastic player as you know – that, ‘This guy is coming to replace Frank’, because Frank is Frank. “One day he will be alongside Peter Osgood in terms of a statue being built for him, because he’s fantastic.”

Chelsea finished last season without any silverware and came a frustrating third in the Premier League.

Mourinho, in the second season of his second spell as Chelsea boss, has invested heavily in rebuilding the squad with the likes of Fabregas and Diego Costa and Filipe Luis, but he is certain the title race will be tougher than ever.

“In England it is even stronger now than in my first period,’ he said.

“Even more now because when I first came Man City didn’t have this financial situation they have now. Even Tottenham at this moment, all the top five or six.

“In this moment can you tell me who is going to win the Premier League? You can’t tell me.

“Can you tell me which one of the top five is going to be outside the Champions League? You can’t say.

“This is what I want. For my concept of what a league should be, this is the best.”

Friday 8 August 2014

Luis Suarez arrived in Lausanne on Friday morning to plead his case before the the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to halve his four-month FIFA ban for biting.

Barcelona’s Uruguyan striker, in a blue checked shirt and jeans, was tight-lipped as he ran the gauntlet of press photographers on his way into the hearing shortly before 10 am local time (0800 GMT).

Suarez was banned from all football-related activity for four months after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder during a World Cup group game in the Brazilian city of Natal.

He subsequently left Liverpool for Barcelona in a 95 million-euro ($127 million) deal but will have to wait until late October before he can play for his new club.

His legal team said on Thursday they were confident of obtaining a reduction of the ban to two months, meaning the former

Liverpool striker would be available to play from 25 August, and for him to be allowed to train with Barcelona for the duration of his suspension.

The verdict was not expected for several days.

Ogun State Commissioner of Health, Dr. Olaokun Soyinka | credits: ogbcnews.blogspot.com

The Ogun State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Olaokun Soyinka, on Thursday said the state government had written a letter to the authorities of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to take precautionary measure against the spread of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease during the RCCG annual convention which started on Monday.

Soyinka said this in Abeokuta, the state capital, while addressing a press conference on the preventive measures being taken by the state.

The commissioner said the letter was sent to the RCCG authorities last Friday, and that the government requested the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to pass the information to the congregation about Ebola in order to guard against its spread.

He said, “We wrote a letter and sent a team to the Redeemed Christian Church of God, because they are having their annual convention. We asked them to make sure they are vigilant.

“We wrote them last week Friday and reminded them of the dreaded Ebola virus and we commended them for what they have been doing. We asked Pastor Enoch Adeboye to pass the general information on Ebola to the congregation.”

Soyinka further said the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, had instructed the health ministry to interact with Muslim and Christian leaders and any other groups that have large crowd.

While he explained that the state had started training programme for health officials in local government areas, he noted that the state was already collaborating with Federal Government agencies in the border areas to prevent carriers of the virus from entering the state.

PANIC has overtaken many homes over the latest scourge. Nothing dominates discussions these days like Ebola, the virus that defies cure, and appears to defy diagnosis until the patient is at death’s gate.

All the symptoms are normal for most Nigerians. We have regular bouts of fever from either malaria or typhoid or both. We sweat from our high humidity, whether during the rainy season or dry weather.

Our eyes acquire features that could have resulted from malnutrition. We are Ebola suspects in many ways. Enough grounds exist for the panic. People infected die quickly.

Those who make contact with them are the next in the line-up for death. Here comes a virus that kills the infected and infects caregivers, unless they take adequate care.

Adequate care is impossible, considering that the patients’ status is not known until much later. Once patients exhibit symptoms of Ebola, there are high chances that relations and hospital staff would desert them. These fears are genuine.

Governments in Lagos and Abuja have done very well in spreading information on the virus. There is more work ahead.

The outbreak of the virus shows again the poor state of our medical facilities. Only a few of them can detect the virus, still fewer are equipped to prevent spread of infection to their staff and other patients.

How many Nigerians know about Ebola? How many can protect themselves? Exploitation of the situation has started.

The telecommunications companies have transferred their unsolicited messages to Ebola, asking their clients to subscribe to information on the virus at a cost.

We would have expected that with the billions they make as profit, they would have run the messages as public service announcements.

One of the things that gave the virus more global attention is the infection of two American charity workers Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol. They are currently under treatment with experimental drugs that other countries are asking should be extended to them.

Three leading Ebola experts, among them Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who co- discovered the virus in 1976, asked that the drug be made more widely available.

“It is highly likely that if Ebola were now spreading in Western countries, public health authorities would give at-risk patients access to experimental drugs or vaccines,” according to the joint statement in a newspaper. “The African countries where the current outbreaks of Ebola are occurring should have the same opportunity.”

The World Health Organisation’s special meeting next week would explore using experimental drugs in West Africa.

For Nigerians, Ebola, a virus that thrives in dirty environments, is also a call to clean up Nigeria and upgrade our medical facilities.

Thursday 7 August 2014



Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has directed the immediate reversal of the school fees of Lagos State University, LASU, which was increased by the government to what it was as far back as 2011.

Governor Fashola gave the directive today August 7th at the convocation programme of LASU which held earlier today at the LASU Ojo campus ground.

The reversal comes after months of protests by students and lecturers of the university. Continue...

The Lagos State Government had in 2011 increased the fees from N25,000 to N198,000 for humanities & education, while medical students were to pay N350, 000. After the protests, the state government approved a reduction by 34 to 60%, a decision which was refused by the students.

That reduction would have seen students pay between N76, 750 and N158, 250 depending on the faculty and year of study.

LASU students celebrate school fees reversal





Lagos State University students are right now having a party at LH ground at the university campus in celebration of the school fees reversal by Lagos State governor this afternoon.

Iraq's largest Christian town has been overrun by the same militant Islamists who have gained a foothold in parts of eastern Syria and western and northern Iraq.

The latest advance by ISIS (or the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) has caused thousands of Christians in the city to flee, just as other minority groups targeted by ISIS have done, as well as Shiite Muslims.

The French government confirmed that the Iraqi city of Qaraqosh has fallen into the hands of the militant al Qaeda offshoot.

"France is highly concerned about the latest progress of ISIS in the North of Iraq and by the taking of Qaraqosh, the largest Christian city of Iraq, and the horrible acts of violence that are committed," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said in a statement.

France called for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to discuss the threat in Iraq. The exodus from Qaraqosh was already under way, as the city and its surroundings have been the target of ISIS attacks for weeks.

Qaraqosh is a historic Assyrian town of 50,000 people, approximately 20 miles southeast of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, where ISIS also has control.

When ISIS took over Mosul, many residents from there had fled to Qaraqosh. In Mosul, ISIS issued an ultimatum to Christians living there: Convert to Islam, pay a fine or face "death by the sword."

Three other nearby villages were also attacked overnight and Thursday, local police officials told CNN.

Two of the villages -- Bartella and Tall Kayf -- are predominately Christian. Hundreds of Christian families fled to the north, police said.

These amazing pictures shows a two-tonne whale shark being driven through a town in China strapped to a fishermans truck who had caught it when the whale broke into his giant net to eat the fishes it had caught but died soon afterwards.

Speaking to local news station Cai Chengzhu said he and his colleagues had been hauling their net out of the water when they noticed a gaping hole in the side. Its believed that the giant creature broke the net and got inside to eat the fishes we caught before it died, he said.

Cai then strapped the whale to his truck and drove towards the market before officials from the Fujian fisheries department stepped in because it is illegal to either buy or sell whale sharks in China, where they are classed as protected.

Ugandan anti-gay activists led by controversial Pastor Martin Sempa (C) speak to the press after the constitutional court overturned anti-gay laws in Kampala, August 1, 2014.



Uganda's parliament will try to re-introduce an anti- homosexuality law that was thrown out by a court, a lawmaker leading the effort said on Wednesday, a move that could once again damage relations with the West.

Last week, the east African country's constitutional court nullified the law, signed by President Yoweri Museveni in February, on a technicality, saying it had been passed by parliament without quorum.

That ruling - two days before the president flew to Washington for a U.S.-Africa summit - appeared to have handed Museveni a way out of a dilemma by striking down a law that he had backed enthusiastically but which was condemned by Western countries and threatened vital aid and investment.

It was not immediately clear whether Museveni would support the bill a second time, if passed by parliament again.

“We're mobilizing members to pledge their support for re- introduction of this bill when the House comes back from recess [in about two weeks' time],” Abdu Latif Ssebaggala, told Reuters.

Ssebaggala said he had started collecting signatures on Tuesday of members of parliament in favor of re-introducing the bill and that he expected to have over 200 - in a house of 383 members - by the end of Wednesday.

Homosexuality is taboo in much of Africa and is illegal in 37 countries there. But the punishments in Uganda were among the harshest.

Under the Anti-Homosexuality Act, the crime of “aggravated homosexuality” - someone with HIV having gay sex or anyone having gay sex with someone considered “vulnerable”, such as a disabled person - was punishable by life in jail.

The United States, Uganda's biggest donor, called the law “atrocious” and compared it to anti-Semitic laws in Nazi Germany and apartheid in South Africa. In June, Washington reduced aid, imposed visa restrictions and canceled a military exercise with Uganda in response.

The World Bank, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands also suspended or redirected aid.

Sweden resumed financial support to Uganda last week. Ssebaggala said that as the law had already been debated, it could be put directly to a vote.

During the bill signing, Museveni said homosexuality was emblematic of the West's “social imperialism” in Africa.

Powerful Christian groups with links to U.S. evangelical movements call homosexuality an imported Western social evil.

World Health Organization (WHO) says Ebola death toll has reached 932.

The report was stated by WHO at the ongoing two-day emergency meeting on west Africa’s Ebola epidemic, with the UN agency deciding whether to declare it an international crisis.

The closed-door session is tasked with ruling whether the outbreak constitutes what is known in WHO-speak as a “public health emergency of international concern”.

Taking the form of a telephone conference between senior WHO officials, representatives of affected countries, and experts from around the globe, the meeting is not expected to made its decision public until Friday.

To date, the WHO has not issued global-level recommendations — such as travel and trade restrictions — related to the outbreak which began in Guinea and has spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

But the scale of concern is underlined by the WHO emergency session itself — such consultations are relatively rare.

The UN agency this year held such meetings on polio and last year on the mysterious Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.

But before that, the last emergency meeting had been during the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak.

A man types on a computer keyboard in Warsaw in this Feb. 28, 2013 illustration file picture.



A cybersecurity firm said it has uncovered about 1.2 billion Internet logins and passwords and more than 500 million email addresses amassed by a Russian crime ring, the largest known collection of such stolen data, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.

Hold Security of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which discovered the credentials, said they were stolen from some 420,000 websites, according to the report.

Hold Security declined to identify the sites that were breached, citing non-disclosure agreements and concerns that they remained vulnerable to attack, the paper reported on its website.

"Hackers did not just target U.S. companies, they targeted any website they could get, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to very small websites. And most of these sites are still vulnerable," the New York Times quoted Alex Holden, the founder of Hold Security, as saying.

Reuters could not independently confirm the details of the report.

Dmitri Alperovitch, chief technology officer of the cybersecurity

firm CrowdStrike told Reuters that the stolen passwords could be used to access other accounts beyond the ones on sites that were breached because people commonly use the same passwords for multiple sites.

"A compromise like this could mushroom," said Alperovitch.

Hold Security in February said it had uncovered stolen credentials from some 360 million accounts that were available for sale on cyber black markets. Be the first of your friends to like our facebook fan page. liebes-film.de beamer test howtoaddlikebutton.com homepage

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Pastor Temitope Joshua, who was recently visited by a team of Nigerian health authorities over the spread of the deadly Ebola disease, has directed victims to stay in their countries.

As part of on-going efforts to prevent spread of the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, into the country, a team of Federal and Lagos State Health officials, had visited Joshua, to sensitise members of the congregation about persons from the affected countries in their midst.

Speaking on the deadly disease, Joshua said, “What makes you a good citizen makes you a good Christian. There is a general law in every country that binds against Ebola victims from crossing borders,” Mr. Joshua announced on the church’s official website and Facebook page.

“Obey the law of your land and it shall be well with you. Obey the law of the land by not crossing the borders of your nation with Ebola virus,” he added.

Jide Idris, the Lagos State Commissioner of Health, who led Idris, in his address during interaction at the premises of the Church, said he visited the Church because of its recognition as an international Christian centre whose congregation comprise people from all over the world including the countries of the West African sub-region which have already been affected by the Ebola disease.

He said,“The visit is one of the Government’s strategies of sensitising faith-based organisations on the need to cooperate with the government to prevent the spread of the disease in the country by educating their adherents to escalate health issues to medical experts.

Spread of the virus “Federal and the State governments are working hard on how to prevent a spread of the virus into the country.

The delegation felt that because the church has some people from the West African sub-region as members and because of the influx and population of the congregation there might be need to check and also raise the awareness level on the disease in the church.

“We have our strategies that we intend to share with you. Again we need to know the resources you have here because whether it is one or two cases, if they are allowed to get out, it is a major problem. We are here to work together on how to contain this disease.

Director, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, Professor Abdulsalami Nasidi, ön the mission, noted that the visit was also to inform the Synagogue leader of the deadliness of the Ebola Virus and to ensure it does not find its way into the country.

Mr. Joshua, the General Overseer of the Lagos-based church, is controversial for his claims of using divine powers to heal all kinds of ailments, prompting sick people from across Africa and the world to regularly throng his church.

The Nigerian Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Monday said that a medical doctor in Lagos has been infected with the deadly Ebola virus.

The unnamed doctor marks the second case of confirmed Ebola infection in Lagos after Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian, contracted and died of the ailment last month. According to the Prof. Chukwu, 70 other people believed to have come into contact with the Liberian were being monitored.

Of the eight people now in quarantine, three show “symptomatic” signs of the disease, the health minister said.

Monday 4 August 2014

patients were told that this treatment had never been tried before in a human being but had shown promise in small experiments with monkeys.

According to company documents, four monkeys infected with Ebola survived after being given the therapy within 24 hours after infection. Two of four other monkeys that started therapy within 48 hours after infection also survived. One monkey that was not treated died within five days of exposure to the virus.

Brantly and Writebol were aware of the risk of taking a new, little understood treatment and gave informed consent, according to two sources familiar with the care of the missionary workers. In the monkeys, the experimental serum had been given within 48 hours of infection. Brantly didn't receive it until he'd been sick for nine days.

The medicine is a three-mouse monoclonal antibody, meaning that mice were exposed to fragments of the Ebola virus and then the antibodies generated within the mice's blood were harvested to create the medicine. It works by preventing the virus from entering and infecting new cells.

The Ebola virus causes viral hemorrhagic fever, which refers to a group of viruses that affect multiple organ systems in the body and are often accompanied by bleeding.

Early symptoms include sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches and a sore throat. They later progress to vomiting, diarrhea, impaired kidney and liver function -- and sometimes internal and external bleeding.

The ZMapp vials reached the hospital in Liberia where Brantly and Writebol were being treated Thursday morning. Doctors were instructed to allow the serum to thaw naturally without any additional heat.

It was expected that it would be eight to 10 hours before the medicine could be given, according to a source familiar with the process. Brantly asked that Writebol be given the first dose because he was younger and he thought he had a better chance of fighting it, and she agreed. However, as the first vial was still thawing, Brantly's condition took a sudden turn for the worse.

Brantly began to deteriorate and developed labored breathing. He told his doctors he thought he was dying, according to a source with firsthand knowledge of the situation.

Knowing his dose was still frozen, Brantly asked if he could have Writebol's now-thawed medication. It was brought to his room and administered through an IV. Within an hour of receiving the medication, Brantly's condition dramatically improved. He began breathing easier; the rash over his trunk faded away. One of his doctors described the events as "miraculous."

By the next morning, Brantly was able to take a shower on his own before getting on a specially designed Gulfstream air ambulance jet to be evacuated to the United States.

Writebol also received a vial of the medication. Her response was not as remarkable, according to sources familiar with the treatment. However, doctors on Sunday administered Writebol a second dose of the medication, which resulted in significant improvement.

She was stable enough to be evacuated back to the United States and is expected to arrive before noon Tuesday.

The process by which the medication was made available to Brantly and Writebol is highly unusual. ZMapp has not been approved for human use, and has not even gone through the clinical trial process, which is standard to prove the safety and efficacy of a medication. It may have been given under the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration's "compassionate use" regulation, which allows access to investigational drugs outside clinical trials.

LAGOS (AFP) – Nigerian authorities said Monday that a doctor in Lagos has contracted Ebola, the second case in the sprawling megacity as the deadliest ever outbreak of the disease continues to spread fear and panic across west Africa.

The confirmation that a fourth doctor had been infected comes as fear and anger about the dead being left unburied in Liberia’s capital Monrovia brought protesters into the streets, while Sierra Leone’s president said Monday that the epidemic threatened the “very essence” of the nation.

“This new case is one of the doctors who attended to the Liberian Ebola patient who died,” Nigeria’s Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu told journalists.

He said that 70 other people believed to have come into contact with the Liberian government official were being monitored.

Of the eight now in quarantine, three show “symptomatic” signs of the disease, he said.

More worrying still are reports from Liberia that victims’ corpses were being dumped or abandoned. Protesters, who blocked major roads in the capital on Monday, claim that the government is not collecting bodies of victims left to rot in the streets or in their homes.

At least 826 people have died from Ebola since the beginning of the year as the virus has spread across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The Liberian government had warned against touching the dead or anyone ill with Ebola-like symptoms, which include fever, vomiting, severe headaches and muscular pain and, in the final stages, profuse bleeding.

“Four people died in this community. Because the government says that we should not touch bodies, no one has gone to bury them,” Kamara Fofana, 56, a protestor in the Monrovia suburb of Douala, told AFP. “We have been calling the ministry of health hotline to no avail.”

Miatta Myers said her mother was one of the suspected victims. “Our mother was vomiting. We tried to call the ministry of health but we did not see anyone. For five days now her body has been in the house.

The only way we can get the attention of the government is to block the road.” Roadblocks first sprang up across major routes at the weekend and have appeared in several Monrovia neighbourhoods since.

Deputy health minister Tolbert Nyensuah said the government was doing its best to collect bodies as quickly as possible.

- Mass grave -

“We buried 30 people during the weekend in a mass grave outside the city. The government has purchased land from a private citizen and that land will be used to bury bodies,” he said. In neighbouring Sierra Leone, President Ernest Bai Koroma called for the nation to unite to counter the threat posed by the outbreak.

“This is a collective fight. The very essence of our nation is at stake,” he said in a televised address. Streets in the capital Freetown were empty on Monday as people observed an emergency “stay at home day” called by the authorities to help them reorganise their fight against epidemic.

Sierra Leone has the most confirmed cases of any nation — 574 — including 252 deaths since the virus spread from neighbouring Guinea in May.

President Koroma, who declared a state of emergency last week, urged families to ensure that victims were reported to health authorities.

The doctor who has become the latest victim in Nigeria had treated Patrick Sawyer, who worked for Liberia’s finance ministry, and who contracted the virus from his sister before travelling to Lagos for a meeting of west African officials.

He landed in Lagos on July 20 from Monrovia after switching planes in Togo’s capital Lome. He was visibly sick upon arrival and taken directly to the First Consultants hospital in the upmarket Lagos neighbourhood of Ikoyi. He died in quarantine on July 25. The hospital was closed indefinitely last week.

Manchester City are set to sign former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard on loan from New York City FC.

Lampard was released by Chelsea this summer after 13 years at Stamford Bridge, his 211 goals in 649 matches making him the club's record scorer.

The 36-year-old signed for New York City last month on a two- year contract.

The Major League Soccer franchise is owned by Manchester City and baseball giants New York Yankees, but the team's season does not start until March 2015. Manchester City declined to comment, but Lampard could be at their Carrington training ground as early as next week for manager Manuel Pellegrini to monitor his fitness.

The loan deal is likely to run until mid-January, and City plan to register the England international for both their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.

Manchester City won their second Premier League title in three years last season, with Chelsea finishing third.

The two sides meet at Etihad Stadium on 21 September. During his time at Stamford Bridge, Lampard was Chelsea's vice- captain and won the Premier League title three times and the Champions League and Europa League once apiece.

The former West Ham player also helped the Blues win four FA Cups and the League Cup twice. On signing for New York City FC, Lampard said: "New York ticks all the right boxes for me. It's very exciting."

Former Spain striker David Villa, 32, has also joined the MLS franchise, though he will spend three months on loan at Melbourne FC, Manchester City's Australian partner club. Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano said: "One of the reasons David Villa and Frank Lampard decided to come to New York is because they know who manages and who owns the club."

Lampard, who won his 106th England cap during the World Cup in Brazil, said he would make a decision on his international career once his club future was finalised.

ABA—The immediate family and relations of Chief Samuel Omeonu Ezengwa, a village head in Umunkita, Nenu Autonomous Community in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, have been thrown into shock after the head of the family and a village head in the community allegedly committed suicide by hanging four days to the daughter’s traditional wedding.

A source in the area said the body of the village head was discovered hanging on a tree at about 7am Wednesday by a member of his family who had gone out that morning.

Though it was not known his reasons for committing suicide, Vanguard gathered that the incident has put on hold the deceased daughter’s traditional marriage billed to hold on Sunday, August 3.

A family source said the night before the unfortunate incident, he had had an intensive discussion with the deceased over his daughter’s traditional marriage coming up at the weekend, adding that the deceased never showed any sign of depression which had been attributed as a major cause of the incident.

Sources said on hearing of the incident, the Eastern Ngwa Police Division drafted their men to the area where they had a close session with the immediate family and later left the compound with the man’s body still hanging on the tree.

A villager who spoke on anonymity, said the body of the deceased could only be brought down for burial after some rituals had been performed as demanded by their custom, describing the state of the man’s death as one of the things that “is highly” prohibited by their traditional belief.

Members of the family were said to have been in deep shock over the incident and could not speak publicly on the issue.

Some reports, which were yet to be verified at press time, have it that the victim committed suicide after the community had written the family inviting them to explain what they knew about an alleged financial embezzlement on an electrification project in the community, an amount some said would be too much for them to repay.

Efforts to reach the state Police Public Relations Officer failed as he did not pick calls pull through his phone but a reliable police source confirmed the incident.

The 28-year-old is said to have chopped off his lover's body parts and was caught after hotel workers heard her screams



The police in Lagos have arrested a young man after he was accused of brutally murdering his girlfriend.

28-year-old Raphael Effiong is said to have committed the offence inside a hotel in the Ketu area of the state. Effiong is said to have cut off 26-year-old Gift Sunday's breast and one of her fingers with a pair of scissors.

Staff of the hotel reportedly heard the deceased screaming and they rushed into the room to find her in a pool of blood.

Sunday was taken to a hospital in the area but she succumbed to her injuries and died.

The family members of the deceased have alleged that Effiong wanted to sue their daughter's body parts for rituals. One of them said:

“What we heard was that on reaching the hotel, the suspect ordered for drinks. As our daughter was sipping hers, he brought out a pair of scissors and started cutting one of her breasts."

“She was screaming at that point. Not done, he cut one of her fingers and attempted to gag her so he could finish his satanic mission. “Her scream alerted people who came to her rescue.

"We were told she gave this version while she was being rushed to the hospital. “We were also told the boyfriend attempted to escape but was apprehended by the hotel staff before the arrival of policemen from Alapere."

The police on the other hand, while confirming the incident, stated that the deceased was only stabbed with the scissors.

The suspect is currently in police custody while the incident is being investigated.
