One of Africa’s richest women and chairman of Famfa Oil, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija yesterday August 27th revealed that she never went to a university, saying one does not need a university education to make it in life. Mrs Folorunsho Alakija said this while speaking with students of the University of Lagos during the 2014 UN International Youths Day in Lagos. “I come from Ikorodu, Lagos state. I am married to a dashing young lawyer of 70 years of age and we have four grown up gentlemen and grandchildren. It has not been a rag to riches fairytale. It has not been an overnight phenomenon like some cases which you find here and there all over the world. For as long as I can remember, I had always wanted my own business. Hard work…am trying to tell you how I got to where I am if you want those billions. Hard work, diligence, persistence…days where you nearly gave up but I chose not to give up.”

Nigerian Social media has been abuzz with news that a salt and water solution can prevent and even cure Ebola. A broadcast being sent around has it that warm water and salt used early in the morning can make a difference against the disease. This news is false! The truth is that Salt and Water can NOT cure or prevent Ebola in any way and in any form.  Salt water can be used for mouth sores or sore throats and is combined with sugar to make an oral rehydration solution (ORS) for people with cholera. Salt is also a good preservative but it does NOT cure Ebola! The Ebola disease has no cure yet and the only form of treatment known at this time is an experimental drug known as ZMapp which is currently only available in the US.  Citizens of Nigeria are enjoined to keep proper hygiene and stay away from suspicious wildlife. Please also report any suspected symptoms of Ebola or symptomatic patients. Please don't buy into the rumours of a Saltwater cure. It is totally false!...

No one wants to be average but by definition most people fall into that category. Break out of the mold and do work that separates you from the rest of the pack through these five strategies. 1. Retrain Your Brain As long as you as an individual… can convince yourself that in order to move forward as best you can you have to be optimistic, you can be described as ‘one of the faithful,’ one of those people who can say, ‘Well, look, something’s going to happen! Let’s just keep trying. Let’s not give up. — Tom Hanks The power of belief is staggering. That can be both good and bad. If you believe you’re average you will inevitably remain average. However, if you believe you can be great, doors will start to open. Put some effort into convincing yourself that you’re not just another average person. Convince yourself that being average is a limit you impose on yourself, and keep reminding yourself that you are limitless. The next thing you should do to be more than average is…

At least 729 people have died and more than 1,300 people have fallen ill from the viral disease in the worst outbreak ever, primarily affecting Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and recently in Nigeria. So here's a summary of the basic thing you need to know about Ebola virus and, how to prevent it. Key facts Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. EVD outbreaks have killed up to 90% of infected patients. EVD outbreaks occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission. Fruit bats are considered to be the natural host of the Ebola virus. Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. No licensed specific treatment or vaccine is available for use in people or animals.

The Federal Government has reassured Nigerians and other residents that there is no new case of Ebola outbreak.  Addressing a joint news conference in Abuja, the Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu says two persons, who had primary contact with the late Patrick Sawyerr, who died of Ebola virus in Lagos, had been quarantined while 69 others were under close surveillance.
