The homegrown jihadists fighting for ISIS: One in four foreigners who have signed up to Islamic State is British - and half of them are ALREADY back in the UK

Questions have been raised as to whether enough is being done to stem the flow of fighters as only 23 passports have been seized this year to prevent them travelling to the war zone. The Government says there are around 500 British while a further 250 are thought to have already returned to the UK where the police and security services are attempting to watch them.  The murder of James Foley apparently by 'John' - one of a gang of British jihadis known as 'The Beatles' - has raised fears the killing fields of Syria and Iraq are dominated by extremist Britons. MailOnline has profiled the most high profile jihadists known to have fled for Syria and Iraq.

Fake soldier granted interview to BBC - DHQ says

On Tuesday August 19th, a Nigerian soldier spoke with the BBC explaining why himself and some other soldiers refused the order from their superiors to go fight Boko Haram insurgents. He alleged that they were not provided good weapons and ammunition and so gave Boko Haram the upper hand during any battle because the militants are more well equipped (read that here).

Now the Defence Headquarters says the man who spoke with BBC is an impostor. Their statement below

That degree of cowardice is not in the character of a real soldier of the Nigerian Army.  The series of lies contained in the alleged responses of the faceless person referred to as a soldier confirms the whole arrangement as another step of the mischief makers working for terrorists.  No soldier has been sent on any mission without being armed. Each soldiers answers for his action in terms of discipline.

Anyone who knows the military reward for mutiny will not join another person to try it.  The overwhelming majority of the Nigerian soldiers remains as brave and disciplined as ever.  They will certainly not join any renegade, coward, deserter or those trying to incite mutiny in the military to betray the nation at time like this, in a way that impostor told his interviewers.  His claims are false.

Certainly soldiers are not being sent to die.  We may not have everything now, but we are improving on weapons and equipment rapidly

Lagos State Govt’s response to Ebola

 am writing these words as I watch what is probably the highest concentration of Europeans in the UK….at the exit/entrance point of the Eurostar train at St Pancras Station, London.I am surrounded by recognisable Spanish, Italian, French and German dialects and a few unknown ones, probably Polish and Romanischte.No, I am not traveling to mainland Europe; I am waiting for a train to Leeds. As I sit amidst this voluminous human traffic, I marvel at the open borders and welcoming arms of this great country, England. In the last two hours, despite the media frenzy on Ebola Fever, 300 Nigerians have disembarked from a Virgin jet and walked unhindered and unrestricted into the UK, free to go and do as we please within the confines of the Law. BanYet, only a few days ago, a fellow African country, who shares no immediate border with us and whose Health Infrastructure is no where as developed as ours….has banned Nigerian passengers and Nigerian flights into its territory! If my Geography is correct, they may even be closer to the Ebola River than we are!A Nigerian proverb states that we should keep our eyes open while we shed tears.Indeed, we had some divine intervention (luck) with the index Ebola case….The man collapsed and needed hospitalisation immediately on arrival on our shores, had he spent a few more hours in town or made it to his conference city the consequences would have been devastating. Equally, had there been no doctors strike, the likelihood would have been a transfer from the airport to the nearby LASUTH. His admission process in this teaching hospital environment would have caused more direct contacts and a greater public health hazard. But, aside from the luck, credit must be given to the Lagos State Government for its calculated, military style response, despite many limitations, to the immediate threat posed by this index individual to a city of 20 million and our nation of 120 million plus.ActionHowever, Governor Fashola and Dr Jide Idris swung into action thus: They crash-trained lab technicians and civil servants on how to enter a house and check for the Ebola virus. In four days, they turned an abandoned government building into an isolation unit. In a week they managed to find and cold-call scores of people from blue-collar workers to diplomats who may have touched the index case, Patrick SawyerWithin days they procured necessary PPE gear to protect health workers.Coordinated responseThey put out a massive and coordinated public education and awareness campaign. All officials pushed the same message with the same emphasis, factual and unemotional.When the government received the passenger list for Mr. Sawyer’s flight, contact information was missing for 18 of the flight’s 48 passengers. All officials had were names and nationalities. Nothing else.The airline tracked down some passengers by calling the ticket agents that booked the flight, while government officials found others by contacting local Embassies.A crew of volunteers set about cold-calling people with the frightening news they might have Ebola. They sent nurses, lab technicians and civil servants into homes to deliver forms for potential carriers to fill out twice daily, asking about fever and other symptoms.They have recruited hundreds of volunteers, with good remuneration and life insurance, to handle complex contact tracing, barrier nursing, infection control and critical care management.We had never treated one single case of Ebola in Nigeria before, and doctors were on strike. PraiseThe Lagos State authorities deserve some praise.According to the Wall Street Journal : “What is clear, though is that hundreds more lives could have been saved if more West African governments acted as Lagos did.”Of course, all this would not have been possible or achievable without the input of, and partnership with, the Federal Ministry of Health and its extensive national and international contacts.Prof. Onyebuchi and Dr Idris, both docto - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/lagos-state-govts-response-ebola/#sthash.s9f3OHke.dpuf

The boy with the TWO STONE hands that are bigger than his head: Indian doctors baffled after eight-year-old's fingers swell to giant proportions

Kaleem, from India, was born with hands twice the size of an average baby

Continued to grow and now weigh two stone meaning simple tasks are hard

They each measure 13 inches from the base of palm to end of middle finger

Local doctors baffled by condition which has seen youngster be bullied over

An eight-year-old boy has left doctors baffled after his hands swelled to giant proportions and now weigh more than two stone.

Young Kaleem, from India, is unable to carry out simple tasks, including tying his own shoe laces, after he was born with hands twice the size of an average baby.

His mother Haleema, 27, said she knew he was different at birth but was powerless to help and the youngster's hands have now grown so large they measure 13 inches from the base of his palm to the end of his middle finger.

The eight-year-old claims he is bullied because of his giant hands and has difficulty performing simple tasks

Young Indian boy's gigantic 8kg hands are baffling doctors

The cricket fan said he has been bullied and shunned most of his life because others are 'scared' of his deformity.

He said: 'I do not go to school because the teacher says other kids are scared of my hands.

'Many of them used to bully me for my deformity. They would say "let's beat up the kid with the large hands".

'Some of them have actually beaten me and would go after me often.

'I have no problem if they could do it without an injection. A small operation would be okay.'

He has found it difficulty to play cricket and hold a bat due to his condition but tries to still join in with his friends

His mother, who has other children who do not suffer from the same condition, said: 'When Kaleem was born his hand was twice the size of a normal baby's.

'His hands were big and his fingers were long. Initially his fists were small but they began to grow large as well and his fingers also kept growing.'

His father, Shamim, 45, who works as a labourer, is worried his son will never be independent and blames himself for not earning enough money.

'He has difficulty feeding himself because his fist does not bend properly - so we have to feed him,' he said.

'Using two fingers he is able to pick up some things like a glass of water to drink.

'We want to take him to the hospital but there have been times when money has been so low that my wife has been forced to go begging.

'In that kind of financial situation, getting treatment for Kaleem was difficult.

'Even when I tried to get Kaleem into the school, the headmaster told me to put in writing that the school would not be responsible if the other children were afraid of his hands or bullied him or laughed at him.'

Islamic State executioner who 'beheaded US journalist' IS British, government believes as Foreign Secretary says UK troops could be sent to Baghdad

UPDATED David Cameron this morning broke off his holiday to return to Downing Street, following the brutal murder of an American journalist by an Islamic State jihadist thought to be British. The Prime Minister will hold meetings this afternoon over the 'shocking and depraved' execution of photographer James Foley. The dramatic development came after the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the Islamic State was waging war on Britain and the West and the organisation had to be dealt with 'on that basis'. He also said the jihadist filmed executing Mr Foley 'appears to be British' and revealed the Government believed the video was 'genuine'. Mr Hammond said the UK would oppose the Islamic State 'with every breath in our body' and could send British troops to Baghdad to train Iraqi forces to fight the 'evil organisation'

than Osama bin Laden did before he died on
Sunday, May 1, 2011.

Q: You said that your mentor was Osama bin
Laden. Is he still your mentor?

A: I am now a changed person. The Sheik Sani
Haliru is now a new creature, old things have
passed away because I now have Jesus Christ
that I hated and persecuted for 44 years.

Q: Tell me about your past and how many
countries of the World you have been to?

role. They are scattered all over the Country and
he (IBB) can use them to destroy Nigeria.

A: Yes 600 + IBB’s agents of destruction are in
the Nigeria Army (NA), Nigeria Police Force
(NPF), Navy, Air Force, Oil and Gas sectors, even
in the finance home such as in top level
positions of CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) and
other banks. You find them in politics, in the
Senate, National Assembly, in the media both
print and electronic and even in Aso Rock, Abuja
(Nigeria’s capital).

Q: How do you mean by this statement “and
even in the finance…”?

A: Yes, I mean every word I say; even the
Islamic bank champion was planted by IBB to
help in Islamizing Nigeria.

Q: So how can you describe IBB?

A: IBB is a “green snake” in green grass. He is
the main problem of Nigeria along with members
of the Cabal.

Q: Have you forwarded any of these evidence(s)
to Aso Rock or to SSS (State Security Services)?

A: I attempted to do so a few weeks ago and I
was arrested and detained for two days because
IBB’S men are so many in SSS (State Security
Services) as well. After I was released by the
grace of God, they (the Police) warned me never
to blow up the polity or provoke violence and I
should keep my so-called-born-again with me or
else I will go to jail.

Q: So you were a key member and a registered
jihadist hardliner.

A: Yes, I was.

Q: Under what group?

A: I was a Boko Haramist. But Boko Haram is
just a cover name to give it a name. I have my
identity as a founding member of the dreaded
jama’aful Ahlul sunna wal Liddawati wal Jihad,
aka Boko Haram.

Q: Apart from IBB, who are the other top
sponsors of terrorism in this country?

A: They are many, but IBB is the major financier.
He introduced the suicide bombing that started
when he killed Dele Giwa. I have the names of
six traditional rulers and seven present & ex-
Governors as well as several top military and
security officers who are co-sponsoring the so
called Boko Haram.

Meet the professional bridesmaid who will write your speeches, organise your hen do and be the first to hit the dance floor. . . and she's doing it all so she can meet Mr Right

We all enjoy a good wedding but Jen Glantz loves them so much she's decided to make a living out of the special day - as the world's first professional bridesmaid.

The 26-year-old came up with the idea after taking on the duty at all her friends' weddings.

And she proved so good at it, she decided to offer up her services to strangers.

New Yorker Jen made the unusual decision to become a professional bridesmaid after performing the duty three times for friends and family

For a small fee, Jen promises to get guests dancing as well as help write the speeches. She'll even lift the bride's dress when she needs to go the loo.

'I've always loved weddings and I love being a part of them,' says Jen, from New York.

'My favourite thing is watching the bride walk down the aisle. It's the moment she's been building up to over a mad year of planning, rehearsals, the bridal shower and the hen do.

 

(Not) just married! Amber Rose FINALLY shares pictures of wedding to Wiz Khalifa on one year anniversary of nuptials

It has been a long time coming.

But Amber Rose finally shared pictures from her wedding to rapper Wiz Khalifa on the one year anniversary of their marriage on Monday.

The former stripper wore a stunning white dress in the exciting pictures, which she shared with her horde of fans on Instagram.

Scroll down for video

Finally: Amber Rose shared a wedding picture of herself with husband Wiz Khalifa and baby son Sebastian in celebration of their one-year anniversary on Monday

Amber, 30, grinned like a Cheshire cat as she posed with her new husband and their son Sebastian, who was only five-months-old when the picture was taken.

In a touching message, the sentimental glamour model captioned the snap: 'Today was the day we said our vows before God and our Family.

'I knew as soon as I met u, u were the one for me sweetheart. Happy 1 year anniversary @mistercap and many more to come??'

And it is clear the strapping beefcake, real name Cameron Thomaz, was just as keen on celebrating the occasion as his other half, for he posted an image of his own which featured Amber standing alone in her wonderful dress.

Nice day for a white wedding: Wiz returned the favour by posting this lovely image of the blushing bride

Mum's the word: She gave fans an extra thrill by posting another image of herself alongside mother Shauna

The 26-year-old hip hop wordsmith wrote a deceptively simple caption, which read: 'Happy Anniversary beautiful. @muvarosebud.'

Previously the couple, who also posted a picture of Amber with mother Shauna, had shared snaps from the post-wedding bash, but none from the ceremony itself.

The couple legally tied the knot on July 8 last year, with Wiz revealing the news to the couple's fans at the time on Twitter.

He said: 'Me and Amber got married today. Weddings this fall. Thought I'd let yall know.'

However even then they could not wait for their official big day, to celebrate with friends and family and ended up bringing the nuptials forward by several months.

 

Amber Rose jokingly posted a video twerking in bridal gown

Now protests start IN FAVOR of shooter cop: More than a hundred turn out in rally supporting Darren Wilson after he skips town to avoid violent reprisals

This is not fare at all o. an innocent  black teenager is shot dead and this is all the white guy know what to do.
Supporters of the St Louis policeman who killed a black teenager have rallied in the city in the first public show of support for the officer.

At the rally, attended by around 150 people, protesters walked around wearing specially printed T-shirts which were sold for $7 with a police shield on which was the words: ‘I stand by Darren Wilson’.

Instead of a badge number it read 8.9.14 - the day he killed 18-year-old Michael Brown.

Two Facebook pages in support of Wilson, 28, have also sprung up with a combined total of 35,000 likes.

Supporters: More than a hundred people gathered on Sunday to support St Louis, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson, who shot dead black teen Michael Brown earlier this month in Ferguson

Critics: The rally happened outside the officers of news station KSDK in St Louis, Missouri. Many of those rallying today criticized the news station for spreading information about Wilson's address

Incident: Officer Darren Wilson (left) shot dead Michael Brown (right) on August 9, and witnesses say Brown had his hands up in surrender at the time

Supporters have also set up a GoFundMe site for raising money for Wilson which raised $1,500 towards a goal of $5,000 to pay for his legal fees in just two hours.

Witnesses claim that Wilson, a six year veteran with the police in Ferguson, a suburb of St Louis, killed Brown even though he was unarmed and had his hands in the air.

The rally on Sunday afternoon was called on the steps on St Louis TV station KDSK because Wilson’s supporters were unhappy they had broadcast details about Wilson’s home.

Speaking out: Many of the protesters were people who work or have worked in law enforcement, or have relatives who are police officers

Bias: Many of the protesters believe the media coverage of the incident has been biased against the police officer involved

Over: The group dispersed peacefully around 7pm

A handful of Brown’s supporters stood on the other side of the road holding up signs which read: ‘Killer Cops: Don’t Shoot’ and ‘Ferguson Police are harboring a fugitive’.

The pro-Wilson side of the road was made up largely of people who work or have worked in law enforcement, or relatives of police officers.

John Newsham, 55, a retired St Louis County police detective, said: ‘The coverage so far has been biased and against the officer.

‘They can make it a black white thing, but it’s not. It should be about the rule of law’.

During the rally the protesters passed around a giant card on which they wrote messages like: ‘Stay Strong’ and ‘The Blue Line Forever’.

Opposition: The demonstration on Sunday attracted more protesters who set up camp across the street to rally in favor of victim Michael Brown

Not in agreement: Protesters hold up their signs in response to the demonstration for Darren Wilson

They also cheered every time somebody honked their horn as they drove past as a gesture of support.

The wife of a St Louis County policeman told MailOnline that she was angry because officers has been deployed to cope with the protests which put other units under strain.

This meant her husband had been working 12 hour days and an 100 hour week which left her with no support to look after their four children.

With school starting this week and their daughter going to college, it was hard to cope when her husband was exhausted.

Todd Brayfied, 34, a pipe repairer, said: ‘I think that he’s (Wilson) been tried and convicted of being a murderer.

Incensed: The community in Ferguson has been protested in outrage over Brown's death. Above demonstrators pictured talking to Capt Ronald Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol on Sunday, August 17

‘I’ve seen 15 different eyewitnesses and they have 15 different accounts. Bits and pieces match up but they are not the same.’

Martin Baker, 44, a consultant, said: ‘I come here to support Darren and support both sides of the story.

‘I have respect for the police. Here in America we are a society of law and order. You must maintain law and order or you will become a community that is reckless and doesn’t care’.

The two Facebook pages are I Support Darren Wilson and Support Darren Wilson, which organized the protest.

The woman who had organized the protest, who identified herself as Ms E Baker, said that she did it as a ‘show of support for Darren’.

The crowd quietly dispersed at 7pm.

VIDEO OF POLICE STANDING OVER DEAD BODY OF UNARMED TEEN HE SHOT DEAD

This video shows the moment the police officer who shot dead unarmed black teenager Michael Brown paces backwards and forwards near his body.
Cop Darren Wilson, 28, can be seen talking to another police officer and pacing close to the dead body of the 18-year-old.
The footage was taken by Piaget Crenshaw who lives in an apartment overlooking the scene in Ferguson, Missouri.
In the upsetting footage, which was taken on a mobile phone, Ms Crenshaw says: 'God bless his soul, police shot this boy outside my apartment.'
Speaking to CNN today, she says she knew something was 'not right' and claims she saw the moment the teenager was shot dead.
'I knew the police shouldn't have been chasing this boy and firing at the same time. And the fact he got shot in his face, something clicked in me and I thought someone else should see this so I recorded.'
Ms Crenshaw said it had appeared as though Wilson had attempted to pull the teenager into a police cruiser in the moments before the shooting.
But she claims the 18-year-old managed to get away but after turning around he was shot a number of times.

Demonstrators react as police fire tear gas at them while protesting the shooting death of Michael Brown

 

She added: 'He was running away and when he [Brown] turned around he was shot.'
America’s National Guard has been called in to control mobs that have been causing mayhem since the shooting.
Violence escalated on Sunday night in Ferguson, Missouri, which has been rocked by protests, looting and arson since Michael Brown was killed there on August 9.
A 400-strong crowd clashed with police. Rioters fired shots and hurled Molotov cocktails and stones.
Massed-ranks of cops responded with rubber bullets, tear gas and smoke grenades - making the St Louis suburb resemble a war zone. Some involved were just 10.
Last night there were fears things could get even worse after an autopsy revealed that Brown, 18, had been shot six times - twice in the head.
The second post mortem examination, carried out at the request of Brown’s family by New York city’s former chief medical examiner Michael Baden, showed the 18-year-old was shot at a distance, disproving police claims he had been trying to grab the gun of officer Darren Wilson who killed him.
Friends of Brown claim he had his arms in the air.
Also on Sunday supporters of policeman Wilson, now on enforced leave, rallied to support him wearing t-shirts printed with ‘I stand by Darren Wilson’.
There are two Facebook pages backing Wilson, 28

Israel and the Palestinians have resumed peace talks as the expiry of a five-day ceasefire in Gaza looms.

As the negotiating teams gathered for indirect talks in Cairo, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would make no concessions on security.
Hamas, which controls Gaza, is demanding an end to the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of the territory.
More than 2,000 people, mostly Palestinians, have been killed since the Gaza conflict began on 8 July.
Israel started its offensive in response to militant attacks, including rocket fire, from Gaza.
The current ceasefire came into effect on Thursday - building on a previous three-day truce. But it is due to expire at midnight (21:00 GMT) on Monday.
Reports say an Egyptian plan would see the current ceasefire being extended, allowing both sides to resume talks on the most difficult issues at a later date.
'Clear mandate' At his weekly cabinet meeting, Mr Netanyahu was uncompromising on the issue of Israeli security.
"The Israeli delegation in Cairo is acting with a very clear mandate to stand firmly on Israel's security needs," he said.
Israel wants to see the complete demilitarisation of Gaza. Egyptian and Palestinian sources have previously said that Israel has indicated it may relax parts of the blockade on Gaza.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that security was Israel's priority

An unnamed Palestinian negotiator quoted by Associated Press news agency said his side was "less optimistic than we were earlier" about reaching a deal before the ceasefire runs out.
However, Palestinian delegation head Azzam al-Ahmad told AFP he had "high hopes of reaching an agreement very soon".
Hamas spokesman Abu Zuhri said the Palestinians would not back down from demands for an end to the blockade.
"All these demands are basic human rights," he said.
Hardship The latest Gaza conflict began as tensions escalated over the arrests of Hamas-linked militants blamed by Israel for the abduction and killing of three Israeli teenagers.
Israeli air strikes and shell fire have sharply increased the hardship suffered by civilians in Gaza, with homes destroyed and a lack of water and medical supplies.

Israeli civilians have been forced to seek shelter from hundreds of rockets launched at Israel, though many missiles have been blocked by the Iron Dome defence system.
Most of the more than 1,900 Palestinians killed are civilians, according to the United Nations.
On the Israeli side, 67 people, all but three of them soldiers, have died.
Israel occupied Gaza in 1967 and pulled its troops and settlers out in 2005.
However, it still exercises control over most of Gaza's borders, water and air space, while Egypt controls Gaza's southern border.

Reuters) - When Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer collapsed at Lagos airport, he brought Ebola into a potentially ideal place for the deadly virus to spread - a vast, dirty, overcrowded city where tracing carriers and their contacts is a major problem.
Sawyer's arrival last month from Liberia - which along with Sierra Leone and Guinea lies at the center of an outbreak that has killed more than 1,000 people - caught authorities in the Nigerian commercial capital unprepared.
By the time they realized where he was from or what illness he had, Sawyer had had contact with dozens of people. Lagos has now had 10 cases of Ebola, an illness spread by contact with the fluids of an infected person.
As Africa's biggest economy, Nigeria has a better health system than the other west African countries which are among the poorest in the world, and Ebola doesn't spread through the air or water supply as with many other epidemic diseases.
But health experts - who are trying to overcome superstition and public ignorance about Ebola as well as the disease itself - say there is now only a short opportunity to find and lock down other infected people before the outbreak in the city of 21 million gets out of hand.
"Lagos is big, it's crowded. It would make in many ways a perfect environment for the virus to spread," said Nigerian epidemiologist Chikwe Ihekweazu, who runs website Nigeria Health Watch and worked on Ebola in South Sudan a decade ago.
"In the heart of Lagos, people live on top of each other, sharing bedrooms and toilets. In densely populated communities infection control becomes almost impossible to do well."
When Sawyer landed at Murtala Mohammed airport on July 20, none of the bystanders, airport staff or health workers who rushed to help him understood the danger they were in.
No one had the full body protection of mask, suit and gloves that are essential to prevent contagion, so his ill advised journey gave the world's worst Ebola outbreak a foothold in Africa's most populous nation.
Sawyer died five days later, followed by one of the nurses who first treated him. Eight others are confirmed infected and receiving treatment, including a hospital doctor.
"Unfortunately nobody knew the status of this person, no one knew the kind of illness that he had, no one knew he was coming," Lagos state health commissioner Jide Idris said. A health official said he had also been sick on the plane.
Sawyer was taken to First Consultants Hospital where, Idris said, he was treated "like any ordinary patient".
Hospital staff took blood samples, checked his temperature, treated his symptoms, which by then included severe vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding - all signs of late-stage Ebola.
"In the course of doing this, a lot of those health workers got infected," said Idris.
It took weeks to trace about 70 people who were primary contacts with Sawyer, multiplying the possible avenues of contagion in the meantime.
Tom Frieden, Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which is helping to fight the West African outbreak, said he was "deeply, deeply concerned about the situation" in Lagos because of the city's size.
"If you leave behind even a single burning ember, it's like a forest fire. It flares back up," he told a U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs last week.
"ONE MAD MAN"
Nigerians are furious that Sawyer, whose sister had died of Ebola and who was himself under surveillance, was able to hop on a plane and give the virus a free ride to Nigeria.
"It is unfortunate that one mad man brought Ebola to us," President Goodluck Jonathan put it bluntly on Monday.
Sawyer, who worked as public health manager at an iron ore mining project of steelmaker ArcelorMittal, caught the disease from his sister who died in Monrovia of Ebola on July 8.
Liberia's Information Minister Lewis Brown told Reuters that Sawyer had traveled against medical advice. ArcelorMittal said there were no more cases among its employees and contractors in the country "at this time".
The arrival of the virus in Lagos has raised global attention to the biggest and most complex outbreak so far of Ebola, which has no proven cure and was first detected in 1976 in the forests of then Zaire, now Democratic Republic of Congo.
In many ways, Africa's top oil producer is in a better position than the other three affected countries. According to consultancy DaMina Advisors, it has one doctor per 2,879 people - compared with one per 86,275 in Liberia.
While public doctors are striking over pay, Nigeria has the money to mobilize enough health workers for now.
Recent progress in tracing Sawyer's contacts, though it got off to a slow start, gives some cause for hope, experts say. 
Yet because it is a city of migrants, Lagos is a potential springboard for Ebola to spread across Nigeria. "There's a lot of mobility within the country. If infected people end up taking taxis to their villages, then we're in trouble," said Ihekweazu.
"PEOPLE ARE AFRAID"
Alarm bells first went off when the hospital ran I.D. checks on Sawyer two days after his arrival, and figured out belatedly that he was Liberian who had come from Monrovia, Idris said.
They quickly isolated him and tested him for Ebola. Yet even after that, nurses continued treating Sawyer without protection, so "the chances of infection again went up".
Tracing Sawyer's contacts aboard the flight then took time because the airline produced a passenger list only after a week.
Three weeks later, 177 primary and secondary contacts of Sawyer's have been traced and all are under surveillance, federal Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said on Monday.
Chukwu also announced measures to contain the disease, including training health care professionals in surveillance of possible cases, putting port officials on red alert, and a public awareness campaign in multiple languages.
In its built-up metropolitan areas, Lagos has 20,000 people per square km (50,000 people per square mile), the state government says, about the same as other overcrowded cities such as Mumbai and Dhaka.
Sanitation is at least as bad as either of the other two, with most Lagosians urinating and defecating in the open.
Both walls leading to the entrance to the now closed First Consultants hospital have "Do Not Urinate Here" stenciled on them, though judging by the smell no one pays much attention.
Against one, an old woman sells a kaleidoscopic array of flip-flop sandals flowering out of a rusty wheelbarrow. A child hawks plastic bags of pineapple slices next to an open drain.
Almost every bit of this street in downtown Obalende, a mishmash of rundown colonial buildings and tin roofed shacks, has somebody walking, standing, sitting down or trading on it.
"We've never had such a situation before, never had Ebola in a large, densely populated area like Lagos," said John Vertefeuille, leader of the CDC's response team for the city. The real problem "is identifying suspected patients ... and making sure that we find every contact", he told Reuters. "That's our priority."
Public education is another essential. Boyai Sanusi, who runs a bag-making shop on a street opposite the hospital, was shocked when he heard Ebola was on his doorstep, but confesses he has no idea how it is spread. "People are afraid," he said. "They don't know what to do."
David Heymann from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, an expert on the virus that struck near Congo's Ebola river almost 40 years ago, said Nigeria needed to overcome the problem. "They should be making use of every channel of communication in Lagos, every radio station in every ethnic language should be talking about this, explaining the symptoms over and over again," he told Reuters.
FAITH HEALERS AND WITCH DOCTORS
Poor education and superstition has long been good business for traditional doctors and faith healers in a region where sickness is often seen as the work of devils or mischievous ancestral spirits.
Early in the alert, Lagos state authorities became alarmed by some claims of miracle cures circulating, and threatened to prosecute anyone claiming they could heal Ebola victims.
Nigerian Pastor Ituah Ighodalo had to take down a Facebook posting in which he said U.S. preacher John G. Lake once cured Ebola victims "with bare hands" and "brought to an abrupt end the spread of the deadly virus". Lake died in 1935, four decades before Ebola was discovered.
But the main worry was "Prophet" T.B. Joshua, pastor of one of Nigeria's biggest churches who draws tens of thousands from all over West Africa, lured by claims his divine healing powers can cure ailments including HIV/AIDS and spine damage.
He was due to hold a convention last weekend, prompting fears of Ebola victims showing up seeking miracles, but after a Lagos state delegation visited Joshua, he agreed not to hold it, and he told followers from Ebola-hit countries to stay away.
On social media, a claim that eating bitter kola nuts and another that drinking salt water can prevent Ebola went viral, and Chukwu warned those spreading the rumors would be arrested.
The Vanguard newspaper daily reported this week that two people died drinking salt water in Jos city. That would make misinformation about the disease in Nigeria so far as deadly as Ebola itself.

Robbers snatch man’s car, throw away 3-month baby, rape wife to stupor

Sunnews gathered that the suspects waylaid the couple on their way to the village, and dispossessed the husband and wife of their cash and valuables at gunpoint. Then they took them in the family car to a near­by bush where they tied the husband and raped the wife who was at that time breast feeding her three-month-old baby.

It was learnt that one of the armed robbers on getting to the bush slapped the wife and forcibly took the baby away from her hands and threw the baby aside. He pointed a gun to her head and ordered her to undress.

For more than two hours, the eight robbers, one after the other, there­after engaged the poor woman in a marathon sex while the husband watched helplessly and the hapless innocent baby cried profusely.
Parading the suspects before newsmen, the Acting Commissioner of Police, Mr Abiodun Odude said the family was travelling from Ogugu in Olamaboro Local Government Area, Kogi State to Iga-Ikeje when the robbers accosted them.

Odude said the victim (names withheld) a native of Ogugu reported at the Olamaboro Police Division and stated that he was travelling in his Toyota Corolla car with his wife and baby when suddenly some eight armed robbers accosted them, dis­possessing them of their car, N6600 cash and mobile phone sets.

The alleged robbers then bundled them into the vehicle and drove them inside the bush about two kilometres from the road, where the man was tied to a tree prior to raping the wife. Giving further explanation of what transpired, he said the wife who was oblivious of their plan as she was crying and begging them not to kill her husband. This prompt­ed one of the robbers to give her a vicious slap, took the baby away and ordered her to undress, while point­ing a gun to her head.
He said the woman fainted after the ordeal.

Done with their evil business, they sons-of-the devil tied up the woman’s legs and drove away in the car.

After about 40 minutes, the woman regained consciousness, struggled to free herself and walked to a nearby village, where she informed a group of vigilantes, who later rescued the husband.
On receiving the report, a police patrol team led by Mr. Mbang Eteng, an Assistant Superintendent of Police tracked down and arrested two of the robbers, whose names were given as Vincent Oguche from an uncompleted building, and Femi Simon, who attempted to run away, but was overpowered by policemen and both of them taken into custody.

The police said the two suspects in the course of interrogation con­fessed to the crime and thereafter led the detectives to their hideout, where the stolen car, assorted guns and handsets were recovered. The names of two other members of the gang were given as Friday Oguche and Joe Agbo. The police are still on the trail of the remaining four mem­bers who are still at large.

Vincent Oguche while acknowl­edging that he and the others actually committed the heinous crime, explained why they raped the woman despite that she was nursing a baby, saying: “We were not in our right sense because we were very high on drugs.”

Femi Simon who claimed to be a native of Iyah Gbede in Ijumu Local Government Area of the state said he was an unemployed driver who was conscripted into the deal. He said he could not control his libido when he saw his comrades-in-crime ‘enjoying themselves’ so he had to join them to have a taste of the woman.

The police rebuffed the request to speak with the woman, firmly saying she should be left alone on account of the horrendous ordeal she expe­rienced.

10 CRAZY THINGS THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM EBOLA

Note: No 10 is the most important

1.      wash your hands with bleach (Ebola is a virus not a bacteria)

Yes bleach on like regular hand sanitizers and soaps they have sodium hypochlorite which is the active ingredient in most house hold bleach and they can kill or disarm viruses unlike soaps that just kill bacteria’s (please do not drink or bath with bleach)

2.      Do not open public toilet doors with your hands

Research shows that the Ebola virus is active on a open surface for at least 20 minutes, so even if you use acid to wash your hand and you use your bare hands to open a door that was formally touched by an unfortunate carrier of the virus in less than 20 minutes there is a 20% chance of you contacting the virus

3.      No more bush meat or suya.

For now stop the consumption of open meat or suya, you don’t know the condition or the source of the meat. In fact do not eat any food that you don’t know the source. Just to be safe.

4.      Don’t eat fruits with scratches or bite marks on them.

Bats are the major carriers or reservoir of the deadly virus. If  humans consume fruits that have come  in contact with bats or animals that carry the virus there is a strong possibility of the person contacting the virus.

5.      Suspend handshakes for now.

No more shaking hugging or high fiving for now, great with a wave, a salute or a rub on the elbow

6.      Build your immune system.

This is the most important measure if your job involves getting in close contact with people. Your body immunity is your number 1 defence against any viral infection. Eat lots of fruit and maintain a reasonable healthy and constant diet.

7.      Stay away from animals.

As much as possible avoid direct contact from suspicious animals or pets.

(for some reason the Ebola virus tends to sicken and kill animals much slower than humans)

8.      Report any suspicious person

If anybody in your area gets suspiciously sick and starts displaying some of the Ebola symptoms call the Ebola emergency hotline.

9.      Report yourself as fast as possible

As crazy as that sounds it is the only chance that an infected person have to survive the viral attack. Over 20 people including a 2year old boy in guinea that were infected with the dreadful disease are now cured and have been given certificates of wellness by the World Health Organization (WHO) and are now free to go home to their families, this was because they submitted themselves for treatment immediately they noticed  the symptoms of ebola in them. Do not try to escape quarantine.
